# Chiswell

**Chiswell** /ˈɪzəl/, sometimes /ˈɪzwɛl/, is a small village at the southern end of Chesil Beach, in Underhill, on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. It is the oldest settlement on the island, having formerly been known as Chesilton. The small bay at Chiswell is called Chesil Cove, and the beach promenade and sea wall which form Chiswell's coastal defences are a prominent feature.

The village occupies much of the flat land close to sea level adjacent to the beach, and is distinguished from the adjoining village of Fortuneswell which occupies the steeper hills and streets above. At the northern entrance to the village is the 19th-century development of Victoria Square, which forms a roundabout on the main A354 road onto the island.

As with the other villages and settlements on Portland, Chiswell was designated as a conservation area as part of Underhill in 1976, as it is a place of special architectural and historic interest.

## History

Chiswell was established predominantly as a fishing community alongside the pebble bank of Chesil Cove. The settlement dates back to Roman times when it was known as "Coesl". A small tidal creek known as the Mere formerly reached Chiswell, but it progressively silted up as the settlement expanded around it. Many of the village's stone and thatched cottages were originally established on the shingle of Chesil Beach.

Despite its vulnerability to sea storms and flooding Chiswell developed into a thriving community, and by the beginning of the 19th century it had become well established as a "burgeoning centre of trade and exchange". In the 19th century Chiswell was predominantly inhabited by fishermen, quarrymen, traders and their families and was the island's biggest settlement.

Frequent incidents of flooding were part of village life. One of the best-documented incidents of flooding was the Great Storm of 1824. Chiswell received the full force of the storm, which saw the death of thirty residents, the destruction of eighty houses and damage to many others, damage so extensive that the village never made a full recovery.

Traces of the effect the storm had on the village can be seen today. On the west side of the main street the house frontages have gaps, some from loss of buildings but others from purpose-built ‘opes’, a local term used in street names such as *Big Ope*. These are the locally unique way of providing floodways during storm surges and allowing access to small rear building groups as well as the beach.

Throughout the 20th century Chiswell continued to lose its character and saw further decline. The first half of the 20th century had seen a number of calls for some form of protection from sea flooding. During 1942, the engineers Coode & Partners drew up plans for such measures, but lack of funding had once again stopped any such project from commencing.

The construction of a sea wall finally commenced in 1958, and continued until 1965. The wall extended from the far end of Chesil Cove to the Cove House Inn. As well as providing a new promenade on its top, the wall reduced the risk of flooding in the village and deterred further coastal erosion.

Despite the sea wall two major storms in December 1978 and February 1979 caused further devastation to Chiswell, leading to the installation of further defence from 1983 to 1986.

In January 1990 Cyclone Daria hit Chesil Cove and the sea overwhelmed the defensive wall, causing extensive damage and temporarily closing access to and from the mainland. During January and February 2014 violent storms across southwest England caused more flooding in the village, which received a lot of national and international attention. A hole in the seawall, the gabions and the promenade all had to be repaired, and the flood alleviation channel and the beach itself had to be reprofiled to restore it for any future floods.

## Features

The majority of the buildings in the village are now for strictly residential use, with some buildings used for tourism such as in bed and breakfasts and holiday lets, and some commercial premises such as public houses and restaurants. The former United Reformed Church and manse remain a focal point on the main street, despite having closed to congregations in 2009.

The A354 road runs northbound through Chiswell, and at the street's widest point is the village square which now serves as a car parking area. To the east of the main street is a stretch of open, higher ground acting as a buffer that separates Chiswell from Fortuneswell.

The Chiswell Walled Garden was created between 2001 and 2006 by the Chiswell Community Trust within the walls of an old house that remains in ruin. It is maintained by volunteer members of the Trust and is open to the public.

### Grade listed features

Chiswell has a wide array of architecture and buildings, a number of which are Grade Listed by Historic England. Some buildings have existed at least in part since the 1600s.

***Chisum*** is a 1970 American Western film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, starring John Wayne in the title role, and adapted for the screen by Andrew J. Fenady from his short story "Chisum and the Lincoln County War." The supporting cast features Forrest Tucker, Christopher George, Ben Johnson, Glenn Corbett, Andrew Prine, Bruce Cabot, Patric Knowles, Richard Jaeckel, Lynda Day George, Pedro Armendariz Jr., John Agar, John Mitchum, Ray Teal, Christopher Mitchum and Hank Worden with Geoffrey Deuel and Pamela McMyler receiving "introducing" credits. The picture was filmed in Panavision and Technicolor.

*Chisum* is based on the Lincoln County War of 1878 and, although it changed a number of details, many of the historical figures in the film (such as Chisum, Tunstall, McSween, Murphy, Brady, Evans, Garrett, and Billy the Kid) were in the New Mexico Territory at the time and did play a part in the conflict.

## Plot

In Lincoln County, New Mexico, John Chisum, a kindly and successful cattle baron, finds his peace threatened when amoral Lawrence Murphy and his business partner James Dolan forcibly buy up most of the land and businesses in the area. Initially, Chisum tries to not get involved, though he does allow ranchers forced out by Murphy to water their herds on his land.

Bribed by Murphy, corrupt Sheriff Brady secretly hires Neemo and his group of banditos, who kill two of Chisum's men and steal a herd of horses. Chisum and his men pursue the thieves, retrieve the horses, and discover the American money in the Mexican outlaw's pocket. They are assisted by Billy "The Kid" Bonney, a notorious killer who was recently hired and given a chance to reform by John Henry Tunstall, Chisum's philanthropic British neighbor.

Chisum's niece Sallie arrives in Lincoln to live with her uncle, and Billy begins to court her. Alexander McSween, invited by Murphy to be his lawyer, arrives with his wife Sue on the same stagecoach. During Sallie's welcome party, Murphy sends Jess Evans and his gang to rustle Chisum's cattle, which are being taken to the United States Army to feed the Native Americans on a nearby reservation. A wandering Pat Garrett warns Chisum's men of the approaching riders; during the subsequent shootout, one of Chisum's wranglers dies and the cows stampede away. Chisum sends for Justice J.B. Wilson to try Murphy's men for murder, but the damage is done and the Army starts buying its cattle from Murphy. McSween, not liking Murphy's methods, switches sides.

McSween, Tunstall, and Chisum open a new store and bank to combat Murphy's monopoly. Billy, Garrett, and several of Chisum's men go to Santa Fe to get supplies to stock the store. Billy is nearly killed when Murphy has Evans attack the wagon train as it is returning to Lincoln; in response, Tunstall decides to go to Santa Fe to ask Governor Axtell to intervene in the land war. Deputies Morton and Baker stop Tunstall on the road, falsely accuse him of rustling, shoot him dead, and plant a gun so it looks like Tunstall drew first.

Justice Wilson arrives in Lincoln during Tunstall's funeral. Brady refuses to go after his own men, so Wilson deputizes Chisum and Garrett, and they track and capture the fugitive deputies in a nearby town. On the way back, Chisum separates from the group to get the judge. Billy, wanting revenge for his friend and mentor, and skeptical that justice will be done in Lincoln, knocks out Garrett and kills Morton and Baker. He then rides into town, publicly murdering Brady before fleeing. Murphy convinces Governor Axtell to fire Justice Wilson and appoint bounty hunter Dan Nodeen, who harbors an old grudge against Billy, as sheriff.

While a large posse scours the countryside to find Billy, he gathers his allies, starting with two of Tunstall's wranglers, Charlie Bowdre and Tom O'Folliard. They break into McSween's store to get dynamite to rob Murphy's bank, but Nodeen notices them inside, and a protracted firefight breaks out between Murphy's and Billy's men. McSween, unarmed and wanting no part of the battle, asks that he and his wife be allowed to leave, but only Sue is allowed to go. When the shooting resumes, she flees to get Chisum, so Murphy has his men erect barricades in the streets of the town. McSween comes out to bargain with Murphy, and Nodeen shoots him in cold blood.

Chisum and his men arrive in Lincoln, driving Murphy's own cattle before them to break through the barricades. Murphy's men are defeated, with Billy personally pursuing and killing Evans. Chisum gets into a fistfight with Murphy, ending with both men falling from a balcony. Murphy is impaled on a decorative bull's horn he was using as a weapon; Nodeen, his paymaster dead, leaves town, pursued by Billy.

Garret and Sallie begin a relationship. He is appointed Sheriff of Lincoln County, and the next governor of the territory, Lew Wallace, declares amnesty for those involved in the land war. With peace restored, Chisum goes up a hill to survey his land.

## Cast

## Production

The film was based on a screenplay by Andrew J. Fenady called *Chisum and the Lincoln County Cattle War*. Originally set up at 20th Century Fox, the project moved to Warner Bros.-7 Arts in August 1969 because John Wayne wanted to make the film that year, but Fox's production schedule was full. Michael Wayne, John's son and the film's executive producer, took on the project of making *Chisum* because he felt the story summed up his father's political views. As is the case with many of Wayne's films, in this, his 200th starring role, the sizeable cast is packed with familiar faces from earlier John Wayne films, among them *Sands of Iwo Jima* (Wayne, John Agar, Forrest Tucker, and Richard Jaeckel).

The picturesque vistas in the film were captured by cinematographer William H. Clothier in Durango, Mexico, where the film was shot. John Wayne was on the set of *Chisum* when he heard he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his work in *True Grit*, an award he would go on to win.

During filming, John Mitchum, brother of Robert, introduced John Wayne to his patriotic poetry. Seeing that Wayne was greatly moved by Mitchum's words, Forrest Tucker suggested Mitchum and Wayne should collaborate to record some of the poetry, which eventually resulted in the Grammy-nominated spoken-word album, *America, Why I Love Her* (1973).

The song "The Ballad of John Chisum", which is heard during the opening credits of the film, features verses spoken by William Conrad, while the song heard later in the film, "Turn Me Around", is sung by Merle Haggard.

## Box office and reception

The film premiered in Dallas, Texas, on June 24, 1970. It grossed $6 million at the box office.

U.S. President Richard Nixon commented on the film during a press conference in Denver, Colorado, on August 3, 1970. In doing so, he used the film as a context to explain his views on law and order:

> Over the last weekend I saw a movie–I don't see too many movies but I try to see them on weekends when I am at the Western White House or in Florida–and the movie that I selected, or, as a matter of fact, my daughter Tricia selected it, was "Chisum" with John Wayne. It was a western. And as I looked at that movie, I said, "Well, it was a very good western, John Wayne is a very fine actor and it was: a fine supporting cast. But it was just basically another western, far better than average movies, better than average westerns."
>
> I wondered why it is that the western survives year after year after year. A good western will outdraw some of the other subjects. Perhaps one of the reasons, in addition to the excitement, the gun play, and the rest, which perhaps is part of it but they can get that in other kinds of movies but one of the reasons is, perhaps, and this may be a square observation–is that the good guys come out ahead in the westerns; the bad guys lose.
>
> In the end, as this movie particularly pointed out, even in the old West, the time before New Mexico was a state, there was a time when there was no law. But the law eventually came, and the law was important from the standpoint of not only prosecuting the guilty, but also seeing that those who were guilty had a proper trial.

Director Andrew V. McLaglen called the film one of his favorites and said: "I wanted Billy the Kid to just be Billy the Kid, a human being, not a bad little boy. Fenady was sort of a scholar about the Lincoln County Cattle War, which was a conflict over water and cattle—trading cattle—and John Chisum actually became a very powerful landowner. It was an American story."

# Solariella pompholugota

***Solariella pompholugota*** is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Solariellidae.

The epithet "pompholugota" is derived from a Greek word, meaning "bubble-shaped"

## Description

(Original description by R.B. Watson) The size of the shell attains 10 mm. The thin, depressedly globose shell has a low turreted spire. It is opaque, chalky, rough and umbilicate. There are about 40 low, rounded spirals on the body whorl. These are very unequal, some being very minute. One or two above the periphery are stronger than the rest. The lowest of all is much the strongest and define the umbilicus, within which the whole sculpture increases in distinctness. On the penultimate whorl there are about 12 spirals fully stronger than on the last. The furrows are broader than the threads. But as they widen, they are occupied by a minute intermediate thread. Longitudinally these spirals and furrows are crossed by much finer and sharper oblique threads, which in general are much narrower than their interstices. But towards the aperture, where all the sculpture becomes feebler, these threads become extremely numerous and crowded. The colour is yellowish chalky white over brilliant nacre. The spire is not much elevated, but a little scalar. The apex of the specimen is eroded. The 5 whorls are rounded and increase rapidly in size and become inflated on the base of the shell. The suture is impressed near the apex, while towards the aperture it becomes filled up, and is finally marginated, by the body whorl lapping up rather coarsely on the previous one. The aperture is rather oblique, a little higher than it is broad, slightly flattened above, and a very little angulated at the junction of the outer lip to the body. The thin lip is very little reflected on the umbilicus, porcellaneous on the edge, with a very slight pearly marginal callus, which is continuous across the body, and nacreous within. The large umbilicus is funnel-shaped, quickly contracting, but leaving the whole inner spire visible.

## Distribution

This marine species occurs off Puerto Rico and St. Thomas

**Chinese Baroque Street** (Chinese: 中华巴洛克风情街) or **Lao Daowai** (老道外) is a neighborhood and tourist destination located in Daowai District, Harbin, China. The street is known for its high historic value and integrated architectural style of Baroque façades and Chinese quads (Siheyuan). It is the largest existing area of Baroque buildings in China.

## History

In first half of the 20th century, Harbin was divided into two parts - the eastern district (today Daoli and Nangang) for Russian, Jewish and Polish people, and the western part (then named Fujiadian, today Daowai) part for the Chinese. A number of architectures in various styles including eclectic, Baroque, Renaissance and modern are built in eastern part of the city. The Chinese industrialists in the western part of the city built their shops and residences resembling European styles, but adopted Chinese construction methods, resulting in European façades and Chinese quads (Yuan Luo).

In 2010s, the neighborhood was refurbished and transferred into a tourist destination and reopened to public in 2014. Later, a number of nostalgic films and television dramas were shot in the neighborhood.

Notable brands developed from the street include Lao Ding Feng Food (老鼎丰) and Heng De Li Glasses (亨得利).

## "Chinese Baroque"

The concept "Chinese Baroque" (中华巴洛克) was first put forward by Japanese architectural historian Yasuhiko Nishizawa, referring to the mixed architectural style.

Key features of Chinese Baroque architecture include:

# Chinese Basketball Alliance

The **Chinese Basketball Alliance** (Chinese: 中華職業籃球聯盟; **CBA**) was a men's professional basketball league in Taiwan that existed from 1995 to 1999. Also abbreviated as "CBA", the defunct organization based in Taiwan was distinct from the Chinese Basketball Association of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and was also not to be confused with the Continental Basketball Association of the United States. In this article, "CBA" refers to the first organization if not otherwise specified.

## Overview of organizational history

Founded in 1994 with four champion teams from Taiwan's amateur Division A conference (甲組聯賽), the CBA was Taiwan's second professional sports league next to the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL), and was among the earliest professional basketball leagues in Asia. Following the regnal year tradition in East Asia, the CBA officially named its first season, 1994–1995, the "CBA Inaugural Year" (職籃元年), the 1995-1996 season the "CBA Second Year", and so forth. Four seasons were completed before the game was suddenly halted in 1999 in the middle of an unfinished fifth due to financial difficulties.

Having had survived the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis, the CBA was viciously affected by the repercussions of the Asian Financial Crisis two years later. Decreased attendance aside, a factor that had a direct bearing on the sudden close down of the CBA was the dispute between the organization and its television partner, the Eastern Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (東森電視; ETTV), over the proper level of the broadcasting royalties. Shortly after the latter ceased to make royalty payments as contracted, the CBA ran out of financial means to sustain its operating budget and had to stop its operations.

## Participating clubs and champions

Since its second season, the CBA had expanded to include a total of six clubs. They were: **Yulon Dinos** (裕隆恐龍), **Hung Kuo Elephants** (宏國象), **Tera/Kaohsiung Mars** (泰瑞/高雄戰神), **LUCKIPar(幸福豹)** (幸福豹) in addition to the incoming **Hung Fu Rams** (宏福公羊) and **Chung-Hsing/Dacin Tigers** (中興/達欣虎). The history of the CBA was marked by a "Hung Kuo dynasty" (宏國王朝) where the Elephants won three consecutive championships. The champion team and runner-up of each year are listed below:

| Year | Champion | Runner-up |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CBA Inaugural Year (1994–1995) | Yulon Dinos |  |
| CBA Second Year (1995–1996) | Hung Kuo Elephants | Yulon Dinos |
| CBA Third Year (1996–1997) | Hung Kuo Elephants | Yulon Dinos |
| CBA Fourth Year (1997–1998) | Hung Kuo Elephants | Kaohsiung Mars |
| CBA Fifth Year (1998–1999, unfinished) | *Undecided* |  |
|

Caught in the economic turbulence of the late 1990s, the corporate owners/sponsors of various CBA clubs decided to withdraw from professional sports. Consequently, the Hung Kuo, Mars, LUCKIPar, and Hung Fu teams came under the danger of disbandment around the same period when the CBA closed down. At the turn of the 20th century, only two out of the six clubs that had participated in the CBA, namely, Yulon and Dacin, had managed to survive with the original organizations. Whereas the Mars was allowed to kept its roster and its name under new ownership by the Broadcasting Corporation of China, most of the original Hung Kuo Elephants were able to continue playing together as the Sina Lions (新浪獅) after their new corporate owner, Sina.com. These four clubs subsequently became founding members of the Super Basketball League (SBL) when the semi-professional league was created in 2003. Many have viewed this new league as the successor body to the CBA.

Less fortunate, the LUCKIPar and Hung Fu teams disappeared permanently.

## Policy and rules on imported players

The CBA distinguished the origin of a player as an array of height and playing chance limitations would be applied to imported players—the so-called *yáng jiàng* (洋將; literally, "commanders/warriors that come through the sea") -- but not to local players (本土球員). In implementing this, however, players with "Chinese consanguinity" (華裔球員) -- however vague such definition was—could be regarded as if they were local upon consensus among all member clubs. Such exemptions had allowed a number of players from mainland China, Hong Kong, and the United States to play without height and number limitations.

Initially, each team was allowed to register 3 non-Chinese foreign players and put up to 2 of them onto the court. No height limitations were in place in the first three seasons. Beginning from the CBA Fourth Year, however, non-Chinese imports were divided into the "bigger" and the "smaller" categories by height. Foreign players who were 201 cm (6'7") or taller were regarded as "big", and only one such player would be allowed to play on the court for a team. In the meantime, no more foreign players 208 cm (6'10") or taller could be signed—although in previous seasons several seven-footers had made their appearances in the game. This was a response to some watchers' complaint that the league was dominated by foreign players, especially by those oversized imports from inside the paint. In the 1990s, native Taiwanese players who were two metres or taller were rare, and, as reflected in the statistics, local players had rarely turned out to be a leading rebounder or shot-blocker on a CBA team.

## Notes and references

1. Subsequent to its Taiwanese counterpart, the PRC-based league inaugurated in the 1995-1996 season with 12 élite clubs chosen from the Class A conference (甲级联赛) in mainland China.
2. Founded in 1975, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has had the longest history among Asia's professional basketball leagues. It was to be followed by the CBA, the PRC-based Chinese Basketball Association, and the Korean Basketball League (KBL), which came into existence in the mid-1990s.
3. Modeled on the CPBL, the CBA adopted a half-season system in its inaugural year where the first and the second half-season champions would compete in a postseason series to decide the general championship. Since Yulon finished with most wins in both half-seasons, granting both half-season titles to the same team, no playoffs were needed to decide the championship. Hung Kuo, nonetheless, finished both half-seasons only one game behind Yulon and was able to defeat the champion team in an unofficial exhibition series following the conclusion of the season.
In light of the accession of a fifth and a sixth team to the league, the half-season system was soon replaced by an NBA-style playoffs system where the number one seed -- ranked by regular season wins -- would meet the number four seed, while number two confronts number three, in a best-of-five series preceding a best-of-seven championship series between the first-round winners.
4. The Mars led the league in wins at the time of close down.
5. Although Chou garnered the most Media votes among all candidates, an official MVP award was never conferred to him because the league's procedures required an MVP to be selected with 50% or more of total votes cast -- a threshold he did not pass.

# Song for a Raggy Boy

***Song for a Raggy Boy*** is a 2003 Irish historical drama film directed by Aisling Walsh. It is based on the book of the same name by Patrick Galvin and is based on true events.

## Plot

In 1939, on the brink of World War II, the St. Judes Reformatory is a ruthless Irish school for boys. Grey, gloomy and ruled by the sadistic Brother John (Iain Glen), the school prefers punishment to rehabilitation. But new lay teacher William Franklin (Aidan Quinn), fresh from the frontline of the Spanish Civil War, fights to liberate the boys from their oppressors.

Patrick Delaney 743 (Chris Newman) arrives at the school aged 13 and a half. He, like all the boys, is allocated a number which the brothers use. Franklin, however, always uses the boys' names. Delaney is an attractive boy and receives the unwelcome attention of Brother Mac (Marc Warren), who rapes the boy in the school toilets. The boy tells of his ordeal to a visiting priest in confession only to be told not to say a word to anyone. Word of Delaney's confession reaches Brother Mac who punishes the boy by forcing him under a cold shower naked, then giving him his clothes so they are also wet.

Liam Mercier 636 (John Travers) is one of the few boys who can read and write, but is otherwise a hard case. Franklin befriends the boy and interests him in poetry, some of it written by communist sympathisers. Mercier and Franklin both challenge the authority of Brother John - Mercier by protesting at the vicious beating of two brothers on Christmas Day, and Franklin by stepping in and actually stopping the whipping. Brother John bides his time and, having tricked Mercier into coming out of class, beats him continuously in front of Brother Mac in the refectory. Franklin is eventually told by Brother Mac that Mercier is in the refectory, after which Franklin discovers Mercier's dead body. He carries the corpse out of the room.

Livid, Franklin attacks Brother John, calling him a murderer. Brothers John and Mac are taken from the school by the Church authorities. At Mercier's funeral, Franklin tells the other boys that his death was murder, before kissing the coffin. Franklin decides he has to leave the school, but is persuaded to stay at the last minute when he is moved by Delaney reciting Eva Gore-Booth's poem "Comrades" across the playground. Franklin drops his bags and Delaney runs towards Franklin and jumps up to hug him while all the other boys gather round in love and affection for their saviour.

## Production

The film took over four years to make because of difficulties getting it started; some were casting problems, others to do with raising finance. One casting problem was finding the ideal boy to play Liam Mercier, who the director felt was vital to cast well. Eventually they auditioned John Travers, a boy from an Irish boxing club with no previous acting experience.

Aidan Quinn had been attached to the script for two and a half years before production. It was filmed on location in County Cork and County Kerry in Ireland. The school scenes were filmed at Coláiste Iosagán, a former De La Salle college in Ballyvourney. It was an Irish/Danish/UK/Spanish co-production, and was produced with the support of investment incentives for the Irish film industry provided by the Government of Ireland.

## Reception

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which categorizes reviews as positive or negative only, the film has an approval rating of 67% calculated based on 6 critics comments. By comparison, with the same opinions being calculated using a weighted arithmetic mean, the rating is 5,80/10.

In *The Guardian*, Peter Bradshaw rated it 2/5 stars saying, "it's a formula beloved since *Nicholas Nickleby* and *Dotheboys Hall*, but here given a new miserabilist anti-clerical spin and imbued with Hollywood-ised cliche of goodies and baddies. And the sugar-rush happy ending is just a joke."

In his review for *Variety*, David Rooney said that "director Aisling Walsh for the most part brings an admirably even-handed approach to brutal material in *Song For a Raggy Boy* (...) While the screenplay judiciously avoids blanket accusations by confining the truly sadistic behavior to one priest, the film underlines the moral fragility of the Church."

title: Chlorophyll b

abstract: Chlorophyll b is a form of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll b helps in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy. It is more soluble than chlorophyll a in polar solvents because of its carbonyl group. Its color is green, and it primarily absorbs blue light. In land plants, the light-harvesting antennae around photosystem II contain the majority of chlorophyll b. Hence, in shade-adapted chloroplasts, which have an increased ratio of photosystem II to photosystem I, there is a higher ratio of chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a. This is adaptive, as increasing chlorophyll b increases the range of wavelengths absorbed by the shade chloroplasts.

| Structure of chlorophyll *b* molecule showing the long hydrocarbon tail | |

## Biosynthesis

The Chlorophyll *b* biosynthetic pathway utilizes a variety of enzymes. In most plants, chlorophyll is derived from glutamate and is synthesised along a branched pathway that is shared with heme and siroheme. The initial steps incorporate glutamic acid into 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA); two molecules of ALA are then reduced to porphobilinogen (PBG), and four molecules of PBG are coupled, forming protoporphyrin IX.

Chlorophyll synthase is the enzyme that completes the biosynthesis of chlorophyll *b* by catalysing the reaction EC 2.5.1.62

chlorophyllide *b* \+ phytyl diphosphate $\rightleftharpoons $ chlorophyll *b* \+ diphosphate

This forms an ester of the carboxylic acid group in chlorophyllide *b* with the 20-carbon diterpene alcohol phytol.

abstract: The Portland Alliance is a free monthly newspaper in Portland, Oregon. The newspaper is the primary project of a non-profit organization, the Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media and Education (NAAME). The newspaper has no paid staff and is developed and distributed by volunteers. Describing itself as "Portland's oldest alternative progressive newspaper," the newspaper typically explores the topics of environmentalism, trade unions, social justice, and other topics "missed by the mainstream press". In 2000, investigative journalism by the newspaper uncovered a series of tapes in which the Portland Police Chief at the time, Mark Kroeker, made anti-gay statements ten years before. This was the first in a series of public embarrassments for Kroeker, who was eventually forced to resign as Portland Police Chief in 2003. The Portland Alliance was nominated for an Utne Independent Press Award in 2003 in the category "Local/Regional Coverage". The paper ceased publishing a print edition in June 2011, but continues to maintain an online presence as of Aug. 2, 2022.

title: St Leonard's Hospital, Tickhill

abstract: St Leonard's Hospital is a grade II* listed timber-framed building in Tickhill, South Yorkshire, in England. It was originally constructed in the 15th century as a monastic building. The first hospital in Tickhill dedicated to Saint Leonard was on Spital Hill, a marshy location outside the built-up part of the town, considered suitable as accommodation for lepers. It was already in existence by 1225, when Walter de Gray, Archbishop of York, deplored the decayed condition of the friars attending and called for charitable donations. The lepers were first mentioned in 1236, while from 1290, John Clarel attempted to improve conditions at the hospital. There has been scholarly debate as to whether this is the same foundation as that of St Thomas in the marsh, a cell of Humberston Abbey. In 1470, the hospital was relocated to the north side of Tickhill Market Place. An inscription above the door suggests that the rebuilding was the work of a John Leftwul. The reasons for the move are unknown, but David Hey notes that this must have involved a change in purpose, as town centres were not considered suitable locations for lepers. The building eventually declined; by the 1840s, it was used as tenements, but the facade was substantially intact. It was heavily restored in 1851, with the upper floor being completely rebuilt in a Gothic revival style. In 1898, it was purchased by the local parish church, who turned it into a parish meeting room. It was again restored in 2007. As it stands, the hospital has ten bays separated by wooden posts, carrying half-fan vaulting supporting an oversailing upper storey. The top floor has three distinctive windows with straight sides but pointed heads. It was made a listed building in 1961 and is currently listed at grade II*.
