The Stoke to Leek line is a mothballed railway route, which up until 1988 was used by BR freight trains to reach the quarries at both Cauldon Lowe and Oakamoor.

The line is made up of two sections; The first section is the remains of the former Biddulph Valley Line, which used to run from Stoke-on-Trent to Congleton, with the section from Stoke to Milton Junction being intact. This used to be a double track section, but was rationalised to single track after the loss of the passenger services.

The second section is the former single track connecting line to Leek from Milton Junction, passing through the villages of Milton, Stockton Brook and Endon before meeting the Churnet Valley Line at Leek Brook Junction for the 1 mile run into Leek. The section from Endon to Leek Brook though used to be double-tracked but was singled at the same time as the first section.

Both of these lines were part of the North Staffordshire Railway network that was constructed in the second half of the 19th century. The Biddulph Valley line was authorised on 24 July 1854, with passenger services commencing in 1864. The Milton to Leek was authorised during 1863, with the passenger and goods service commencing on 1 November 1867.

Possible re-opening
In March 2020, a bid was made to the Restoring Your Railway fund to get funds for a feasibility study into reinstating the line between Stoke and Leek. This bid was unsuccessful.

In March 2021 a new bid was made to the restoring your railways fund to re-open the line. On 27 October 2021 it was announced the bid was successful and that £50,000 had been granted for a feasibility study.

Baringo Thermal Power Station, also Cummins Thermal Power Station, is a  biogas-fired thermal power station in Kenya, the largest economy in East African Community.

Location
The power station is located in Baringo County, in what was formerly known as Rift Valley Province, approximately , by road, north- west of Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya. The approximate coordinates of Baringo Thermal Power Station are:00°30'28.0"N, 35°45'02.0"E (Latitude:0.507777; Longitude:35.750557).

Overview
The power station, which was expected to come online in March 2015, has a maximum generating capacity of 12 Megawatts. Construction was completed in February 2015. The initial phase of the power station will produce 2.4 MW. Cummins Power Generation Limited, the company that owns the power station, has signed a power purchasing agreement with Kenya Power and Lighting Company, to supply 2MW to the national electricity grid during the first phase. The power supplied will increase with each subsequent phase.

Power is generated using plant material from the Mathenge tree (Prosopis juliflora), which grows abundantly in the arid environment of Baringo County. About 2,000 households from the county have been contracted to supply tree stems of the plant as raw materials for power generation. The plant material is allowed to decompose anaerobically, generating gases, including methane. The gases are burnt, generating heat, which is used to heat water, generating steam. The steam is then used to run electricity generators.

Developers and financing
The Baringo Power Station has a construction budget of KSh2.7 billion (US$30 million). The power station is jointly owned by 
Cummins Inc. of the United States and Gentec Energy Plc. of the United Kingdom. Equity Bank Kenya Limited provided 70% (approximately US$21 million) in loan financing and the 30% (US$9 million) was provided by the shareholders. The first phase will provide 2.4 Megawatts, of which 2 Megawatts will be sold to the national grid. The second phase will increase production to 7 Megawatts. The Third and final phase will ramp up production to 10.8 MW. The excess power not sold to Kenya Power will be used internally by the power plant.

The Illinois Police Reserves (IPR or ILPR) was a nonprofit auxiliary police agency headquartered in Chicago, Illinois providing policing services to suburban Chicago.

History 
The Illinois Police Reserves was chartered in 1923. The organization was an all-volunteer agency providing reserve officers to assist local law enforcement agencies upon their request. Reserve officers would be deployed at parades and special events.

In late 2010, an opinion by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan affirmed that state law requires auxiliary police in Illinois (numbering about 1,000 auxiliary police officers and sheriff's deputies statewide) to be state-certified officers. After the opinion was issued, the Illinois Police Reserves ended training of new volunteers and its relationship with the suburb governments because its volunteers were not state-certified.

In 2014, the organization resumed recruiting and conducting its 300-hour training sessions. However, such actions were not approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, which caught the attention of authorities "investigating non-government, legally unrecognized reserve police organizations" viewed as potentially deceptive.

The Chicago-based watchdog group Better Government Association criticized the practice of maintaining uncertified auxiliary police officers in Illinois and nationwide, writing, following a joint investigation in 2019 with WMAQ-TV: "Most of the time, this army of under-trained cops works without incident in low-risk tasks such as directing traffic or standing the rope line at parades. But the practice has also been plagued by nepotism, politics, and questionable policing." The group pointed to a number of cases of misconduct by Illinois auxiliary officers over the previous decades, including some incidents that had led to towns settling legal claims brought against them due to auxiliary officers' misconduct.
  
In February 2018, the agency was involuntarily dissolved by the State of Illinois. Captain Peter Pohl, the leader of the Reserves, was killed in a vehicle accident in Chicago on August 26, 2019.

Shia Islam in Afghanistan is practiced by a significant minority of the population. According to a PEW 2021 survey, 7% of Afghans followed Shia Islam, but other estimates have put the number as high as 35%. Afghanistan's Shia are primarily the Twelvers, while a minority are Ismailis.

Twelvers
The majority of Afghanistan's Shia Muslim's are the Twelvers, primarily of the Hazara ethnicity. The next-largest Twelvers are the Farsiwan of the western Herat and Farah provinces. Other, far smaller, Afghanistan's Twelver communities include the Qizilbash and the Sadat populations.

Ismailis
A smaller portion of Afghanistan's Shia are Nizari Ismailis; these populations include many of the Pamir language speakers of the northeastern portion of the country (predominantly in Badakhshan Province bordering Tajikistan).

Baghlan Province is also home to an Ismaili community, the Sayeds of Kayan. Their leader is Sayed Mansur Naderi and his son, Sayed Jaffar Naderi. During the Soviet–Afghan War, about 10,000 Ismaili militiamen defended the Baghlan Ismaili stronghold of Kayan. They struck a deal with the Soviets in not attacking them, but logistically supported the Mujahideen. In 2003 it was reported that unlike other Ismaili communities in the region and worldwide, the Baghlan Ismailis did not defer to the spiritual leader of Ismailis worldwide, the Aga Khan.

Rubrerythrin (RBR) is a non-heme iron-containing metalloprotein involved in oxidative stress tolerance within anaerobic bacteria. It contains a di-iron active site, where peroxide is reduced into two water molecules, and a mono-iron rubredoxin-like domain thought to be involved in electron transfer.  A majority of known RBR families are utilized as peroxide "scavengers" to defend organisms against oxidative stress.

Function 
As a member of the Ferritin-like superfamily, RBRs primary function is iron storage and detoxification. Rubrerythrins utilize their di-iron centers to bind with reactive oxygen species such as Hydrogen Peroxide, further reducing them into water.

RBR reduction is theorized as a particularly important adaptation that occurred in response to the Great Oxygenation event, increasing defensive fitness of all cells exposed to relatively high levels of oxygen and similar byproducts.

Although primarily studied within anaerobic bacteria, RBRs have been discovered in multiple different types of cells including: Aerobic, Anaerobic, and Cyanobacteria.

Structure 
Many formations of RBRs can be identified by four helical structures, chains alpha and beta containing 3 iron atoms. Both N and C-terminals of common RBRs are very similar to Rubredoxin containing amino acid residue sequences. Furthermore, both metalloproteins contain 5 histidine ligands located within the N-terminals of their peptide chains.

Mechanism 
In a reduced state without exposure to reactive oxygen byproducts, Rubrerythrin contains two water molecules near its di-iron center. During and after exposure to peroxide, Rubrerythrin becomes oxidized, changing rotational conformations beginning around the peroxide binding site.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAP3K15 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. These family members function in a protein kinase signal transduction cascade, where an activated MAPK kinase kinase (MAP3K) phosphorylates and activates a specific MAPK kinase (MAP2K), which then activates a specific MAPK. This MAP3K protein plays an essential role in apoptotic cell death triggered by cellular stresses.

Frances Taylor Gench is a Presbyterian minister, New Testament scholar, and the Herbert Worth & Annie H. Jackson Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Union Presbyterian Seminary.

Education
Gench earned her B.A. from the Davidson College, and both her M.Div. and Ph.D. from Union Presbyterian Seminary (formerly Union Theological Seminary in Virginia). Her dissertation focused on the Gospel of Matthew and was later published as a monograph under the name Wisdom in the Christology of Matthew.

Career
Gench is ordained in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and has served as parish associate at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. She has previously served as a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) General Assembly's Theological Task Force on Peace, Unity, and Purity of the Church (2001-2006), and has served as a faculty member at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg (now a part of United Lutheran Seminary).

During her academic career, Gench has been particularly noteworthy for her work on the New Testament writings attributed to Paul the Apostle. Gench emphasizes the importance of dialogue with "tyrannical texts" in Scripture as well as between theological conservatives and theological liberals. She recommends five guiding principles for addressing difficult biblical texts: "1) remember that the difficult text is worthy of charity from its interpreters; 2) argue with the text, confident that wrestling with scripture is an act of faithfulness; 3) resist the temptation to throw the baby out with the bathwater; 4) learn from the dangers as well as the insights that biblical texts present; 5) don’t let anyone tell you that you are not taking the authority of the Bible seriously."
