<i>Luzula</i> Genus of flowering plants in the rush family Juncaceae

Luzula is a genus of flowering plants in the rush family Juncaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, with species occurring throughout the world, especially in temperate regions, the Arctic, and higher elevation areas in the tropics. Plants of the genus are known commonly as wood-rush, wood rush, or woodrush. Possible origins of the genus name include the Italian lucciola or the Latin luzulae or luxulae, from lux ("light"), inspired by the way the plants sparkle when wet with dew. Another etymology sometimes given is that it does derive from lucciola but that this meant a mid-summer field, or from the Latin luculus, meaning a small place; the same source also states that this name was applied by Luigi Anguillara in 1561.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pathé Exchange</span> Former film production and distribution company

Pathé Exchange, commonly known as Pathé, was an American film production and distribution company, largely of Hollywood's silent era. Known for its groundbreaking newsreel and wide array of shorts, it grew out of the American division of the major French studio Pathé Frères, which began distributing films in the United States in 1904. Ten years later, it produced the enormously succeesful The Perils of Pauline, a twenty-episode serial that came to define the genre. The American operation was incorporated as Pathé Exchange toward the end of 1914 and spun off as an independent entity in 1921; the Merrill Lynch investment firm acquired a controlling stake. The following year, it released Robert J. Flaherty's influential documentary Nanook of the North. For much of the 1920s, Pathé distributed the shorts of comedy pioneers Hal Roach and Mack Sennett and innovative animator Paul Terry. Beginning in 1927, the studio changed hands several times in quick succession: it came under the control of the Keith-Albee-Orpheum theater chain, then financier and Hollywood maestro Joseph P. Kennedy, and finally, in January 1931, RKO Pictures. Its semiautonomous production of features as RKO Pathé ended by late 1932, though RKO released Pathé-branded newsreels and shorts for many years afterward. The Pathé News operation was purchased in 1947 from RKO by Warner Bros., which shut it down in 1956. A few of Pathé's minor assets, including its film lab facilities, were not included in the RKO acquisition and ultimately reorganized as Pathé Industries, which reentered the movie production business for a half-decade in the 1940s with its purchase of Producers Releasing Corporation.
