Pluchea camphorata, known as camphorweed or marsh-fleabane, is a small flowering herbaceous annual plant of the family Asteraceae.

Description 
Pluchea camphorata is a small herbaceous plant that grows approximately  tall, with blooms of purple-pink flowers formed in small heads in rounded clusters. The leaves are alternate, serrate, and elliptic to ovate or lance-shaped. The leaves form on short petioles. They have granular, sessile resin globules on the leaves and at the ends of the stems and branches of the plant. This plant's nutlets range from pink to tan. The roots are fibrous.

Taxonomy 
Pluchea camphorata is in the family Asteraceae, or Compositae, which is a very diverse family containing approximately 23,000 species. Pluchea is a genus of several species of perennial or annual herbs. They are erect plants, with densely short pubescent, terete to obscurely angled, strictly to freely branched stems. Pluchea have alternate, serrate, the teeth callous-thickened, petiolate to sessile leaves. Pluchea have corymbrose, involucres hemispheric to campanulate, many-flowered, bracts imbricate heads. Pluchea have discoid, perfect, small flowers and small cylindrical, 5 ribbed nutlets. Pluchea have whitish, capillary, minutely, antrorsely barbed pappus bristles. Pluchea rosea have pink corollas, elliptic to elliptic-oblong leaves, and black nutlets. Pluchea foetida have cream corollas and pinkish nutlets. Pluchea purpurascens have pink corollas and pink to tan nutlets. The three species bloom from August to October and bloom in similar habitats. There is doubt about the identity of Pluchea camphorata due to confusion among different botanists.

Distribution and habitat 
Pluchea camphorata grows mostly in the eastern United States, anywhere from Florida to Texas and as far north as Michigan. Pluchea camphorata is native to the lower forty-eight states in the United States. Habitats include, alluvial swamps, seasonally flooded sloughs, floodplain oxbow ponds, wet clay flat-woods and clearings, ditches, and impoundment shores.<

Ecology 
Pluchea camphorata plant blooms from August to October. Pluchea camphorata is listed as endangered in Maryland and Ohio. This plant is threatened by dredging and filling, water pollution, and exotic species.

Uses 
Traditional medicinal use of Pluchea camphorata includes applying the leaves to wounds to reduce swelling and facilitate healing. Certain cultures believe that Camphorweed stimulates tissue by moving blood to the surface. While culturally important, these claims require more research for safe use.

Ohhh...Alright... is a 1964 pop art painting by Roy Lichtenstein. It formerly held the record for highest auction price for a Lichtenstein painting.

History
In November 2010, Ohhh...Alright..., previously owned by Steve Martin and later by Steve Wynn, was sold at a record US $42.6 million (£26.7 million) at a sale at Christie's in New York, which surpassed the 2005 $16.2 million Lichtenstein record set when In the Car sold. The hammer price was $38 million. It was surpassed in the following year by I Can See the Whole Room...and There's Nobody in It!, which sold for $43.2 million.

Details

Measuring 91.4 cm × 96.5 cm (36 in × 38 in), Ohhh...Alright... is derived from the June 1963 edition of Secret Hearts #88 by Arleigh Publishing Corp. (now part of D. C. Comics). After 1963, Lichtenstein's comics-based women "...look hard, crisp, brittle, and uniformly modish in appearance, as if they all came out of the same pot of makeup."  This particular example is one of several that are cropped so closely that the hair flows beyond the edges of the canvas. The image was featured in the edition of November 8, 1993 of Time, which discussed the 1993 Lichtenstein retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. It was also the image used to promote the 2012 Lichtenstein retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago. This was painted at the apex of Lichtenstein's use of enlarged dots, cropping and magnification of the original source.

Exhibitions
The exhibition history of this work includes three 21st-century exhibitions: Las Vegas, Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, April–September 2001; London, Hayward Gallery; Madrid, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Roy Lichtenstein: All About Art, August 2003-February 2005; New York, Gagosian Gallery, Lichtenstein: Girls, May–June 2008.

Kenneth Colley (born 7 December 1937) is an English film and television actor whose career spans over 60 years. He came to wider prominence through his role as Admiral Piett in the Star Wars films The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).

Career
Colley was born in Manchester, Lancashire. One of his early appearances on British television was as Noah Riley in the 1970s police drama The Sweeney, in an episode entitled Trap. He played Jesus in The Life of Brian, having also appeared in the earlier Monty Python-related production Ripping Yarns episode "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite" alongside Michael Palin. As a Shakespearean actor he played the Duke of Vienna in the BBC Television Shakespeare production of Measure for Measure in 1979.

Colley worked extensively with British director Ken Russell from the early 1970s to the early 1990s as part of a repertory of actors who appeared across Russell's television and film work. He played the role of Modest Tchaikovsky in the film The Music Lovers (1971). He went on to play the role of LeGrand in Russell's The Devils (also 1971); he played the journalist Krenek in the biopic Mahler (1974); the composer Frédéric Chopin in Lisztomania (1975); Mr Brunt in Russell's adaptation of The Rainbow (1989) by D. H. Lawrence. His last role for Russell was as Captain Dreyfus in the film Prisoner of Honor (1991), which dealt with the Dreyfus affair.

For his work in the Star Wars franchise, Colley's role as Admiral Piett is noted for differing from the other ill-fated Imperial officers who appeared alongside him in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), as Colley was the only actor to play an Imperial officer in a second Star Wars film, reprising his role in Return of the Jedi (1983). Colley reprised his role as Piett in the Cartoon Network animated special Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out in September 2012. Coincidentally, Colley and David Prowse had a part in the fantasy film Jabberwocky (1977).

Colley also played a notable role in the 1982 Clint Eastwood film Firefox, where he played a Soviet colonel tasked with the protection of the Firefox and its secrets. He went on to play SS-Standartenführer Paul Blobel in the Second World War drama War and Remembrance.

Colley has directed one film to date, Greetings (2007), a horror film starring Kirsty Cox, Henry Dunn and Ben Shockley.

In 2017, Colley recorded a series of short narrations for inclusion on Pop Wasteland, an album by Folkestone band Phenomenal Cat.

Personal life

Colley lives in Hythe, Kent.

According to comments which Terry Gilliam (who directed him in Jabberwocky and acted with him in Life of Brian) made in the DVD audio commentaries for both films, Colley has a stammer in real life. When he had a role in a film, however, he could recite the lines perfectly. Stuttering is a character trait, however, in his role as the Accordion Man in the 1978 BBC television drama, Pennies from Heaven.

Basczax were a British post-punk band formed in Redcar in August 1978.

History
The band was formed by Mick Todd, who recorded a demo of "Karleearn Photography", which convinced Jeff Fogarty (saxophone) and Alan Savage (guitar, vocals) to join. The line-up was completed for early performances by Nigel Trenchard (keyboards) and Cog (drums), but these were soon replaced by former Blitzkrieg Bop members John Hodgson (keyboards) and Alan Cornforth (drums).

Starting out as an anti-punk, almost anti-music noise band, they supported Gang Of Four, amongst others in the early days. Basczax's first released material appeared on Fast Product's Earcom 2 mini-LP in 1979, alongside Joy Division. The band also released a 7" single on the Pipeline label: "Madison Fallout"/"Auto Mekanik Destruktor" (1979), which reached #48 on the UK Independent Chart.

Basczax toured with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), and appeared on the Check It Out TV show in 1980, performing "Ego Therapy". This lineup split in September 1980, with Hodgson and Cornforth going on to form "Makaton Chat" with ex-Deja Vu members Anthony Lindo, Graham Lipthorpe and Martin Alderdyce. John Hodgson now records under the name Fast Cakes, who released an album in August 2007 entitled LIVEYOUNGDIEFAST, a second album in September 2012 entitled CALL OFF THE DOGS and a third in 2014 entitled LIFESTORY. The three remaining members regrouped and continued. Eventually, after many lineup changes, the band mutated into Jank Mamba, and then The Flaming Mussolinis, who released two albums in the mid-1980s for Portrait Records (CBS).

Savage went on to form a band called Zoom, then another called Disraeli Gears, and released a solo CD in the 1990s on Darlington-based "Northern Sky".

A compilation of tracks recorded by Basczax between 1979-80 entitled The Best Of was released (initially download only) in 2009 on Spectra Records.

In February 2010, four members from the 1979-80 line-up (Alan Savage, Jeff Fogarty, John Hodgson & Mick Todd) started recording together once again, with the view to releasing the first new Basczax material for almost 30 years. An album, entitled This Machine Rocks was released (download only) on 1 September 2010.

Callitriche antarctica, commonly known as the Antarctic water-starwort, is a small, prostrate plant with tiny yellow flowers in the family Plantaginaceae (though sometimes placed in its own family – Callitrichaceae).  It is found in wet places on many subantarctic islands and has a wide circumantarctic distribution, something reflected in its specific epithet.

Description
The starwort is a prostrate, mat-forming herb, with freely branched stems, rooting at the nodes. It has a similar appearance to watercress.  The small, fleshy, spathulate leaves are usually 3–5 mm long and 1–2.5 mm wide.  Flowering occurs from September to March.  The yellowish to dull brown fruits are about a millimetre in diameter.

Distribution and habitat
The starwort occurs on Campbell, Heard and Macquarie Islands, the Auckland, Antipodes, Kerguelen, Prince Edward, Crozet and Falkland Islands, as well as on South Georgia and Tierra del Fuego.  The plant may be locally common, especially in boggy areas, along streams and around freshwater pools.

United Nations Security Council resolution 985, adopted unanimously on 13 April 1995, after reaffirming resolutions 813 (1993), 856 (1993), 866 (1993), 911 (1994), 950 (1994) and 972 (1995), and 788 (1992) which imposed an arms embargo on Liberia, the council established a committee to monitor the implementation of the embargo and extended the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL) until 30 June 1995.

Concern was expressed at the breakdown of a ceasefire in the country which prevent UNOMIL from carrying out its mandate, and further concern over the movement of weapons into the country in violation of the arms embargo. A planned summit in May 1995 by the Economic Community of West African States was welcomed.

All parties in Liberia were urged to implement the Akosombo and Accra agreements and re-establish a ceasefire and install a State Council, while the international community was required to observe the arms embargo against Liberia. In this regard, a Committee of the Security Council was established with the following mandate:

(a) to seek information regarding measures countries had taken to implement the embargo;
(b) to consider information on violations of the embargo and recommend measures to strengthen it;
(c) to recommend measures in response to violations of the embargo.

The council demanded that all factions in Liberia respect the status of Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and international humanitarian workers and abide by international humanitarian law. The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to report to the council by 15 June 1995 on the situation in Liberia, including whether there was an effective ceasefire in place, if UNOMIL could carry out its mandate and on contributions towards ECOMOG, determining that the future of UNOMIL would be reviewed in this light.

Mangbetu, or Nemangbetu, is one of the most populous of the Central Sudanic languages. It is spoken by the Mangbetu people of northeastern Congo. It, or its speakers, are also known as Amangbetu, Kingbetu, Mambetto. The most populous dialect, and the one most widely understood, is called Medje. Others are Aberu (Nabulu), Makere, Malele, Popoi (Mapopoi). The most divergent is Lombi; Ethnologue treats it as a distinct language. About half of the population speaks Bangala, a trade language similar to Lingala, and in southern areas some speak Swahili.

The Mangbetu live in association with the Asua Pygmies, and their languages are closely related.

Dialects
Mangbetu dialects and locations as listed by Demolin (1992):

Mangbetu proper is spoken north of Isiro, in the subregion of Haut-Uele and north of the Bomokandi River. It is found in Nangazizi and Rungu in the collectivité of Azanga, Ganga in the collectivité of Okondo, Tapili in the collectivité of Mangbetu, Medanoma in the collectivité of Mangbele, in Ndei collectivité north of Isiro, and in Mboli collectivité near Goa.
Medje (Mɛdʒɛ) is spoken south of Isiro, around Medje in Mongomassi and Medje collectivités, and also in the ethnic Mangbetu collectivités of Azanga and Ndei.
Makere is spoken around Zobia in the subregion of Bas-Uele.
Malele is spoken in Poko Territory - in the areas of Balele, Niapu, and Kisanga.
Mapopoi is spoken in Panga and the Aruwimi River.
Nabulu is spoken in Bafwasamoa, 15 km north of Nia-Nia.
Lombi is spoken in Bafwasende Territory - in Barumbi around the Opienge River, and in Maiko National Park.

Phonology

Vowels

Consonants

Retroflex consonants are slightly trilled as [ʈʳ], [ɖʳ], [ᶯɖʳ].

Other Features
One unusual feature of Mangbetu is that it has both a voiced and a voiceless bilabial trill as well as a labial flap.

 "to bring out"
 "to fan"
 "to enclose"
 "to defecate"
 "to get fat"

The labial trills are not particularly associated with back vowels or prenasalization, pace their development in some American languages.

 "leaping like a leopard"
 "kind of plan"
