Opus vermiculatum is a method of laying mosaic tesserae to emphasise an outline around a subject.  This can be of one or more rows and may also provide background contrast, e.g. as a shadow, sometimes with opus tessellatum.  The outline created is often light and offset by a dark background for greater contrast.  The name opus vermiculatum literally means "worm-like work", and has been described as one of the most demanding and elaborate forms of mosaic work.  Usually opus vermiculatum is meant to put emphasis on the main design and foreground details of a work, using a smooth and flowing halo-effect. Sometimes it was used only around the head of a figure. The tesserae used were often square but can be variously shaped.

History
 
Opus vermiculatum originated in Greece, later than other mosaic methods.  The earliest known example is the Sophilos Mosaic of Thmuis, which has been dated to around 200 BC.  The method spread throughout the Hellenistic world; for instance, the large corpus of surviving examples found on the island of Delos. In Egypt it was used for tomb decoration from the late-3rd to 1st centuries BC, and in Syria, it survived into later times.  The Nile mosaic of Palestrina has a very refined use of color and shows an advanced development.  This may indicate that the technique was based on paintings.  

In the 1st century BC, it reached Italy along with other mosaic methods.  Many fine examples of this style have been found at Pompeii.  One remarkable work in particular portrays a crucial scene in the Battle of Issus, and was possibly copied from a 4th-century BC Greek painting or fresco.  The use of opus vermiculatum declined after the 1st century AD, but continued to be employed for finer Roman mosaics until the 4th century.  By then, mosaics were becoming increasingly impressionistic, taking advantage of the crystalline reflection of the tesserae, which was better suited to opus tessellatum.  It was eventually entirely abandoned for this style.

Sailing into the wind is a sailing expression that refers to a sail boat's ability to move forward despite being headed into (or very nearly into) the wind. A sailboat cannot make headway by sailing directly into the wind (see "Discussion," below); the point of sail into the wind is called "close hauled".  

Sailing into the wind is possible when the sail is angled in a slightly more forward direction than the sail force. In this aspect, the boat will move forward because the keel (centerline), of the boat acts to the water as the sail acts to the wind. The force of the sail is balanced by the force of the keel. This keeps the boat from moving in the direction of the sail force. Although total sail force is to the side when sailing into the wind, a proper angle of attack moves the boat forward.

Another way of stating this is as follows:

In practice, optimal sailing in the direction from which the wind is coming will usually be at a course of around forty five degree angles to the oncoming wind. To reach a particular point, alternating the direction of the wind between the port and starboard side is usually necessary. This is called "tacking."

Discussion

The points of sail clarify the realities of sailing into the wind. One of the points of sail is "Head to Wind." A boat turns through this point on each tack. It is the point at which the boat is neither on port tack or starboard tack and is headed directly into the wind. However, a boat cannot sail directly into the wind, thus if it comes head to the wind it loses steerage and is said to be "in irons." Thus boats sailing into the wind are actually sailing "Close Hauled" (i.e., with sails tightly trimmed).

When one sails closer to the wind than is optimal (i.e., with a too small angle to the wind), it is called "pinching." This phrase is also a colloquial expression meaning "to be reckless."

The 135th (Limerick) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of Fencibles in the British Army, created and promptly disbanded in 1796. The regiment, raised by Sir Vere Hunt, did not see any active service; it served solely to recruit soldiers. On disbandment, the recruits were drafted into other regiments. The regiment has the interesting historical distinction of having had the highest regimental number of any British line regiment.

Chalk carving is the practice and shaping of chalk via carving . This article covers some methods, types of chalk, tools used and the benefits (and ramifications) of this material.

The benefits of this material are also its drawbacks. Its main benefit, its softness, makes it very easy to manipulate. This is also a serious disadvantage, however, as chalk structures tend to be very delicate. This material is also extremely brittle and dusty. However it is cheap, readily available, easy to work with the simplest of tools, and able to hold a reasonable amount of detail.

The main types of chalk, for the purposes of the carver, are processed and non-processed (natural). Processed chalk has several advantages over natural chalk; it is softer, more consistent and comes ready finished in neat cylinders of varying sizes. However, natural chalk is available in more interesting shapes, the size is not limited, and it holds detail better.

Tools for chalk carving are numerous. In fact any small file, stone carving equipment (no mallet is needed), and even needles can be used. Some of the best hand carving equipment are an etching needle, a selection of small files, and a miniature carving tool designed for soapstone.

The methods are very simple. Once the carver has a feel for the material, it is possible to construct fairly complex shapes, and make figurative work. It is possible to coat the chalk in button polish to produce a finish.

Chalk is considered by seasoned stone carvers as one of the most difficult of stones to shape, as the material may literally powder away in your hands, if you are not delicate with the handling. A chalk can also have many defects and voids in its structure, this makes chalk carving a very difficult and precise art.

Types of Chalk Carving 

There are two types of chalk carvings.

1. Single piece
A carved object or relief consisting of one piece of chalk.

2. Multi-piece
A carved object or relief using two or more individual pieces of chalk.

Arnold Short (October 3, 1932 – September 26, 2014) was an American basketball player.  A 6'3 guard, he was an All-American college player at Oklahoma City University and a second round pick in the 1954 NBA draft.

Short came to Oklahoma City from Weatherford High School in Weatherford, Oklahoma.  There he became the first basketball All-American in school history.  As a senior in 1953–54, Short averaged 27.8 points per game, finishing fourth in the NCAA scoring race.  As a collegian, Short also played baseball and tennis.

Following his college career, Short was drafted in the second round of the 1954 NBA draft by the Fort Wayne Pistons (13th overall).  However, he chose to play for the Phillips 66ers in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) instead.  There he was an AAU All-American in 1955 as the 66ers won the AAU title.

After retiring from basketball Short became head tennis coach and an assistant basketball coach at Oklahoma City University.  He also served as the school's athletic director.

Count Wilhelm Reinhard von Neipperg (27 May 1684  – 26 May 1774) was an Austrian general.

Biography
Born in Schwaigern, the residence of the Lordship, from 1766 County of Neipperg, he descended from an ancient comital family from Swabia, his father Count Eberhard Friedrich von Neipperg (1655–1725) having been an Imperial field marshal. He spent his boyhood in Vienna and in 1702 joined the Imperial service. He was a Obristlieutnant in his father's regiment in 1709, and by 1715 was a colonel. He distinguished himself at Temesvar in 1716 and at Belgrade in 1717.

After fighting against the Turks, he renounced his  military career in order to attend to the  education of Prince Francis of Lorraine, the future Holy Roman Emperor.  He was elevated to the rank of count in 1726. Neipperg was with Fieldmarshal Wallis at the Battle of Grocka and negotiated the Peace of Belgrade (1739). Two years later, during the War of Austrian Succession, he commanded the Austrian Army which was defeated at the Battle of Mollwitz by Frederick II of Prussia. Nonetheless he became an Imperial field marshal later that year.

His daughter, Maria Wilhelmina von Neipperg, became  mistress of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor. His grandson Adam Albert von Neipperg married Napoleon's widow Marie Louise.

He died at Vienna in 1774, just one day before his 90th birthday.

Veronicastrum virginicum, or Culver's root, is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family, Plantaginaceae. It is native to the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. Growing to  tall by  broad, it is an erect herbaceous perennial with slender racemes of white or occasionally pink or purple flowers in summer.

Names and etymology
Other names and variants include Culver's-root, Culverphysic, Culver's physic, black root. The Latin specific epithet virginicum means "of Virginia", referring to a historic definition covering the entire eastern USA and southeastern Canada, (which roughly corresponds to its current distribution). The name "Culver's root" derives from a certain Dr. Culver who was a pioneer physician of the 18th century and used its bitter roots for purgative purposes.

Description
The stems are hairless and usually unbranched. The leaves are serrated and arranged in whorls of 3-7 around the stem. The inflorescence is erect with slender and spike-like racemes to about  long, giving the flower cluster a candelabra-like appearance. The stamens are crowded and protrude in a brush-like fashion perpendicular to the raceme. The corollas are white and are roughly 2mm in length. These plants flower for about a month from mid-June to late August, depending on the latitude.

Distribution and habitat
Veronicastrum virginicum is found from southern Maine to northwest Florida to northern Louisiana up through Minnesota and somewhat north of the Canada–US border. Culver's root is frequently found in wet to wet-mesic prairies and sometimes moist upland sites. It is also found in a good number of prairie or native meadow restorations.

Cultivation
Veronicastrum virginicum is cultivated as an ornamental for temperate gardens in the Eastern and Central United States around its native range. Most native plant nurseries commonly sell this easy and adaptable perennial. Even some conventional nurseries sell this plant, though it is not common yet in American landscapes and gardens. It is fully hardy down to at least , and grows in full sun to part shade and any moist, well-drained soil. It is easy to dig up, divide, and reset like a good number of standard perennials if they get too large or crowded. It stays as an upright clump and does not spread far. Plants rarely need staking; however, older clumps may require this. It can be pruned down in late May or dug up, divided, and reset. This plant does do some self-sowing with its tiny seed.

In the UK the cultivars 'Album', with white flowers, and 'Lavendelturm', with lilac flowers, have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Ecology
The larvae of the Culver's root borer moth feed on this plant.
