Artemisinin (Qinghaosu) isolated from Artemisia annua is a novel sesquiterpene lactone bearing an unusual endoperoxide function.

Of the nine big-river species in the clade, which have not caused simuliotoxicosis, at least three (S. cholodkovskii, S. jenningsi Malloch, and S. penobscotense Snoddy & Bauer) are major, but nonlethal, annoyance pests of humans and domesticated animals.

Not even the heart of one of the delectable slim-legged ponlettes who high-heel in swarms wherever the celluloid Napoleons decree a sceneful of extras, female; no, nothing but a downy, cuddly chick that eventually grows up into a cackling, flowerbed-scratching Biddy, with no ambition beyond inspiring omelets and eventually herself becoming casserole filling.

Due to geographic restrictions prior to 1983, the development of the Port of Kaohsiung was limited to the northeast bank of the fairway. The Chichin District, on the southwest bank, was largely sidestepped by construction of the No. 2 Entrance in 1969. The port reopened the Chung-Hsin Commercial Harbor Area as Container Terminal No. 4 in 1983 in order to facilitate equitable harbor development on both sides of the main fairway, improve overall utilization of port land, attract more container shipping business, and expand services available to shipping customers. To end Chichin’s isolation and increase the accessibility of all port land, a Cross-Harbor Tunnel was completed 3 years ahead of the completion of the Container Terminal No. 4 project. The tunnel was designed to serve the needs of both container traffic and Chichin District residents.
