# Chester-class cruiser

The three ***Chester*-class cruisers** were the first United States Navy vessels to be designed and designated as fast "scout cruisers" for fleet reconnaissance. They had high speed but little armor or armament. They were authorized in January 1904, ordered in fiscal year 1905, and completed in 1908. In 1920 all scout cruisers were redesignated as "light cruisers" (CL).

*Birmingham* was the first ship in the world to launch an airplane, in 1910 with pilot Eugene Ely, who also performed the first landing on a ship the following year, on USS *Pennsylvania*. The class patrolled the Caribbean prior to World War I, sometimes supporting military interventions, with *Chester* playing a key role at the start of the United States occupation of Veracruz in 1914. The ships escorted convoys in World War I. The class was decommissioned 1921-1923 and sold for scrap to comply with the limits of the London Naval Treaty in 1930.

## Design and construction

### Ship type

The three *Chester*s were the US Navy's only ships to be commissioned with the "scout cruiser" (hull classification symbol non-standard at the time, CS or SCR are sometimes used) designation, and were characterized by high speed and little armor or armament. They were also the last cruisers of any type built for the US Navy until the first *Omaha*-class cruisers were laid down in 1917 (the Navy concentrated on building dreadnought battleships and destroyers in the interim). The first three *Omaha*-class ships were also designated "scout cruisers" (CS or SCR) when ordered, but before any were launched the Navy revised its classification system and they and the *Chester*s became "light cruisers" (CL).

### Armament

The as-built armament included two 5 in (127 mm)/50 caliber Mark 6 guns, six 3 in (76 mm)/50 caliber rapid fire (RF) guns, and two 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes. The original design featured a uniform gun armament of twelve 3-inch guns, which was supported by the Navy's General Board as simplifying fire control and echoing the uniform main and secondary armaments of dreadnought battleships. However, two 5-inch guns were substituted for six of the 3-inch guns, apparently to enable the scout cruisers to fight foreign light cruisers. Notably, for the first time in US cruiser design smaller caliber weapons (6-pounder and smaller) were not fitted.

### Armor

The armor of these ships was very light. A 2 in (51 mm) belt extended 9.5 ft (2.9 m) above the waterline in the engine and generator room area, 6.5 ft (2.0 m) above the waterline in the boiler room area, and 3.25 ft (1 m) below the waterline for its entire length. There was no protective deck, only a 1 in (25 mm) deck above the steering gear.

### Engineering

The three ships had different propulsion plants so they could be compared: *Chester* was the first major combatant in the USN to receive steam turbine propulsion of the Parsons type, *Salem* received Curtis turbines, and *Birmingham* traditional triple-expansion engines. The design speed was 24 kn (27.6 mph; 44.4 km/h) for the triple-expansion ship and up to 25 kn (28.8 mph; 46.3 km/h) for the turbine ships.

*Chester* had twelve coal-fired Normand boilers and Parsons direct-drive steam turbines totaling 23,000 shp (17,000 kW) on four shafts. She made 26.52 kn (30.5 mph; 49.1 km/h) on trials at an estimated 16,000 shp (12,000 kW).

*Birmingham* had twelve coal-fired Fore River boilers supplying 275 psi (1,900 kPa) steam to two four-cylinder vertical triple-expansion engines totaling 16,000 ihp (12,000 kW) (design) on two shafts. She made 24.33 kn (28.0 mph; 45.1 km/h) on trials at 15,670 ihp (11,690 kW).

*Salem* had twelve coal-fired Fore River boilers and Curtis direct-drive steam turbines totaling 23,900 shp (17,800 kW) (design) on two shafts. She made 25.95 kn (29.9 mph; 48.1 km/h) on trials at 22,242 shp (16,586 kW).

Normal coal capacity was 475 tons, which could be increased to 1,400 tons.

### Refits

All three ships were refitted in 1917 to prepare for service in World War I. *Salem* had her main engines replaced with a 20,000 shp (15,000 kW) General Electric geared steam turbine installation due to high coal consumption. All three received an armament upgrade, with four new 5-inch (127 mm)/51 caliber guns replacing the 5-inch/50 caliber guns as well as two of the 3-inch/50 caliber , two 3-inch/50 caliber single-purpose guns (four being removed), and two 3-inch/50 caliber anti-aircraft guns added. The submerged torpedo tubes were retained.

## Ships in class

The three ships of the *Chester* class were:

| Ship | Shipyard | Laid down | Launched | Commissioned | Decommissioned | Fate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
| USS *Chester* (CS-1) | Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine | 25 September 1905 | 26 June 1907 | 25 April 1908 | 10 June 1921 | Renamed *York* 10 July 1928, sold for scrap 13 May 1930 |
| USS *Birmingham* (CS-2) | Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts | 14 August 1905 | 29 May 1907 | 11 April 1908 | 1 December 1923 | Sold for scrap 13 May 1930 |
| USS *Salem* (CS-3) | Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts | 28 August 1905 | 27 July 1907 | 1 August 1908 | 16 August 1921 | Sold for scrap 11 February 1930 |
|

On 17 July 1920 these ships were reclassified with the new hull numbers **CL-1** through **CL-3** (light cruisers). On 10 July 1928 *Chester* was renamed *York* to free the name for USS *Chester* (CA-27).

# TMEM82

**Transmembrane protein 82** (TMEM82) is a protein encoded by the TMEM82 gene in humans.

## Gene

The *TMEM82* gene is found on chromosome 1 (1p36.21) from 15,742,499 to 15,747,982, spanning 5,484 base pairs. It is found on the plus strand and has 6 exons and 5 introns. The SLC25A34 gene is found on TMEM82's antisense strand and ecodes for a mitochondrial carrier protein.

There are a few known genetic variants which alter the molecular phenotype. One is an intergenic mutation that results in a protein product that is associated with Troponin-T. A SNP (T/C, missense) with an allele frequency of about 4% results in a protein product that is associated with Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3, although with a very small effect size.

## mRNA

There human mRNA transcript for TMEM82, of which there are no isoforms, has 1,443 nucleotides which encodes a 343 amino acid long precursor protein of about 37kDa including 8 predicted transmembrane domains and 1 disordered region.

### Expression

In humans, the RNA transcript is expressed highly in the kidney, liver, small intestine, and duodenum and is also expressed in the colon and stomach. Single cell RNA-seq data indicate several tissue specific cell types with enhanced TMEM82 expression in the stomach, colon, kidney, and liver: these cell types include parietal cells, chief cells, gastric mucous cells, mitotic cells, and gastric enteroendochrine cells in the stomach, colon enterocytes in the colon, proximal tubular cells in the kidney, and hepatocytes in the liver. During fetal development it is also expressed in adrenal and heart tissues and becomes highly expressed in the small intestine by 15 weeks of gestation. Its expression cluster is similar to those for genes involved in lipid metabolism. There are several similar mouse polyclonal antibodies, some rabbit polyclonal antibodies, and a couple monoclonal options for available for the TMEM82 protein but with limited evidence for efficacy.

## Protein

TMEM82 is listed as pfam15816 for conserved protein domains and is the only member of the superfamily cl24398. TMEM82 is predicted to be an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein. The theoretical isoelectric point of human TMEM82 is 8.57 and it is compositionally 23% leucine.

### Post-translational modifications

Predicted PTMs of human TMEM82 include phosphorylation, a glycosaminoglcan attachment site, and N-myristoylation.

### Function

Predicted interaction partners include APOA2 and CYP4F2. TMEM82 has been found to coexpress with proteins involved in lipids, hormones, and xenobiotic and alcohol metabolic pathways; as such, it is hypothesized to function in metabolism.

## Homologs

Orthologs of the TMEM82 gene have been identified in 442 organisms including in the chimpanzee, Rhesus monkey, dog, cow, mouse, chicken, zebrafish, and frog and is highly conserved in mammals. TMEM82 is not found in plants or fungi. There are no paralogs of TMEM82 in humans. The end of TMEM82 encompassing its disordered region is the least evolutionarilty constrained relative to the rest of the protein. The following table lists some orthologs and their attributes of TMEM82.

## Clinical significance

Expression of TMEM82 is dysregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma*.* TMEM82 is present in the interaction profile of kidney renal cell carcinoma and is a favorable prognostic marker in renal cancer. TMEM82 has enhanced RNA expression in liver and renal cancer but was not correlated with the overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer. A 65.7 kbp long microduplication has been found in patients with congenital lower urinary tract obstruction at the genomic location of TMEM82 gene; the microduplication affects TMEM82 and the other genes located there: *FBLIM1*, *PLEKHM2*, *SLC25A34*, *SLC25A34-AS1*. TMEM82 is significantly upregulated in glomeruli and predicted to have estrogen response elements.

# Eddie Carroll

**Eddie Carroll** (September 5, 1933 – April 6, 2010) was a Canadian actor, who is best known as the third performer to provide the voice for Jiminy Cricket, a role he played for over 35 years.

## Career

In Canada, Carroll studied at the Orion theater with fellow student Robert Goulet. After moving to Hollywood in 1956 to work for NBC as a writer and producer, living as a resident alien in the United States, he was drafted into the US Army. He performed with the Armed Forces Radio Service and the 6th Army Chorus. In 1959, he took the professional name Eddie Carroll. In 1960 Carroll released a comedy album, "On Fraternity Row." In 1962, he co-wrote the song "How Is Julie?" which was recorded by The Lettermen. Starting in the early 1960s, Carroll appeared in numerous television programs and commercials. In 1970, he and business partner Jamie Farr developed and syndicated a sports-talk program, "Man to Man", through MGM Television, and not long after a Saturday morning animated series for Hanna-Barbera, *The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan*.

Carroll took over the role of Jiminy Cricket for Walt Disney Productions in 1973 after the death of original voice actor Cliff Edwards in 1971, and a brief stint by Clarence Nash. From 1983 until his death in 2010, he traveled with two one-man shows portraying comedian Jack Benny: "A Small Eternity with Jack Benny" and "Jack Benny: Laughter in Bloom." From 1995 to 1996, Carroll toured with a production of *The Odd Couple*. In later years, he attended numerous conventions and gatherings for both Disney fans and devotees of old-time radio.

Eddie Carroll was sometimes billed as Eddy Carroll. He is not to be confused with British big band musician Eddie Carroll.

## Personal life and death

Carroll married his wife Carolyn Springer on April 7, 1963; together they had two children, Tina and Leland.

On April 6, 2010, Carroll died from a brain tumor at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California, at the age of 76, just one day before his 47th wedding anniversary.

# Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division (Pakistan)

The **Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division** is a division of the Cabinet Secretariat in Pakistan that was established in 2020. It's responsible for formulating and implementing policies and programs aimed at reducing poverty, improving social safety nets, and providing assistance to vulnerable segments of society.

## History

The division's primary focus lies in poverty reduction and the implementation of social safety net programs, with the Ehsaas Programme standing out as its flagship initiative. The Ehsaas Program is a comprehensive poverty reduction endeavor encompassing a spectrum of interventions, ranging from cash transfers to educational and healthcare initiatives, as well as livelihood support programs.

In addition to the Ehsaas Program, the division oversees several other notable initiatives, including the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), the Waseela-e-Taleem Program (WeT), the Waseela-e-Sehat Program (WeS), and the Kafalat Program. These programs aim to provide financial assistance to low-income households, enhance access to education and healthcare services, and offer support to vulnerable segments of society such as the elderly and disabled.

The Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division collaborates closely with provincial governments, civil society organizations, and international development partners to implement poverty reduction initiatives throughout Pakistan.

title: Projection-slice theorem

abstract:
In mathematics, the projection-slice theorem, central slice theorem or Fourier slice theorem in two dimensions states that the results of the following two calculations are equal:
  - Take a two-dimensional function f(r), project it onto a (one-dimensional) line, and do a Fourier transform of that projection.
  - Take that same function, but do a two-dimensional Fourier transform first, and then slice it through its origin, which is parallel to the projection line. In operator terms, if
  - F1 and F2 are the 1- and 2-dimensional Fourier transform operators mentioned above,
  - P1 is the projection operator,
  - S1 is a slice operator, then
  - F 1 P 1 = S 1 F 2. This idea can be extended to higher dimensions. This theorem is used, for example, in the analysis of medical
CT scans where a "projection" is an x-ray
image of an internal organ. The Fourier transforms of these images are
seen to be slices through the Fourier transform of the 3-dimensional
density of the internal organ, and these slices can be interpolated to build
up a complete Fourier transform of that density. The inverse Fourier transform
is then used to recover the 3-dimensional density of the object. This technique was first derived by Ronald N. Bracewell in 1956 for a radio-astronomy problem.

# Projection-slice theorem

In mathematics, the **projection-slice theorem**, **central slice theorem** or **Fourier slice theorem** in two dimensions states that the results of the following two calculations are equal:

* Take a two-dimensional function *f*(**r**), project (e.g. using the Radon transform) it onto a (one-dimensional) line, and do a Fourier transform of that projection.
* Take that same function, but do a two-dimensional Fourier transform first, and then slice it through its origin, which is parallel to the projection line.

In operator terms, if

* *F*1 and *F*2 are the 1- and 2-dimensional Fourier transform operators mentioned above,
* *P*1 is the projection operator (which projects a 2-D function onto a 1-D line),
* *S*1 is a slice operator (which extracts a 1-D central slice from a function),

then

$$F\_{1}P\_{1}=S\_{1}F\_{2}.$$

This idea can be extended to higher dimensions.

This theorem is used, for example, in the analysis of medical CT scans where a "projection" is an x-ray image of an internal organ. The Fourier transforms of these images are seen to be slices through the Fourier transform of the 3-dimensional density of the internal organ, and these slices can be interpolated to build up a complete Fourier transform of that density. The inverse Fourier transform is then used to recover the 3-dimensional density of the object. This technique was first derived by Ronald N. Bracewell in 1956 for a radio-astronomy problem.

## The projection-slice theorem in *N* dimensions

In *N* dimensions, the projection-slice theorem states that the Fourier transform of the projection of an *N*-dimensional function *f*(**r**) onto an *m*-dimensional linear submanifold is equal to an *m*-dimensional slice of the *N*-dimensional Fourier transform of that function consisting of an *m*-dimensional linear submanifold through the origin in the Fourier space which is parallel to the projection submanifold. In operator terms:

$$F\_{m}P\_{m}=S\_{m}F\_{N}.\\,$$

## The generalized Fourier-slice theorem

In addition to generalizing to *N* dimensions, the projection-slice theorem can be further generalized with an arbitrary change of basis. For convenience of notation, we consider the change of basis to be represented as *B*, an *N*-by-*N* invertible matrix operating on *N*-dimensional column vectors. Then the generalized Fourier-slice theorem can be stated as

$$F\_{m}P\_{m}B=S\_{m}{\frac {B^{-T}{|B^{-T}|}F\_{N}}}$$

where $B^{-T}=(B^{-1})^{T}$ is the transpose of the inverse of the change of basis transform.

## Proof in two dimensions

The projection-slice theorem is easily proven for the case of two dimensions. Without loss of generality, we can take the projection line to be the *x*-axis. There is no loss of generality because if we use a shifted and rotated line, the law still applies. Using a shifted line (in y) gives the same projection and therefore the same 1D Fourier transform results. The rotated function is the Fourier pair of the rotated Fourier transform, for which the theorem again holds.

If *f*(*x*, *y*) is a two-dimensional function, then the projection of *f*(*x*, *y*) onto the *x* axis is *p*(*x*) where

$$p(x)=\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,y)\\,dy.$$

The Fourier transform of $f(x,y)$ is

$$F(k\_{x},k\_{y})=\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,y)\\,e^{-2\pi i(xk\_{x}+yk\_{y})}\\,dxdy.$$

The slice is then $s(k\_{x})$

$s(k\_{x})=F(k\_{x},0)=\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,y)\\,e^{-2\pi ixk\_{x}\\,dxdy}$

$$=\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }\left\[\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,y)\\,dy\right\]\\,e^{-2\pi ixk\_{x}dx}$$

$$=\int \_{-\infty }^{\infty }p(x)\\,e^{-2\pi ixk\_{x}dx}$$

which is just the Fourier transform of *p*(*x*). The proof for higher dimensions is easily generalized from the above example.

## The FHA cycle

If the two-dimensional function *f*(**r**) is circularly symmetric, it may be represented as *f*(*r*), where *r* = |**r**|. In this case the projection onto any projection line will be the Abel transform of *f*(*r*). The two-dimensional Fourier transform of *f*(**r**) will be a circularly symmetric function given by the zeroth-order Hankel transform of *f*(*r*), which will therefore also represent any slice through the origin. The projection-slice theorem then states that the Fourier transform of the projection equals the slice or

$$F\_{1}A\_{1}=H,$$

where *A*1 represents the Abel-transform operator, projecting a two-dimensional circularly symmetric function onto a one-dimensional line, *F*1 represents the 1-D Fourier-transform operator, and *H* represents the zeroth-order Hankel-transform operator.

## Extension to fan beam or cone-beam CT

The projection-slice theorem is suitable for CT image reconstruction with parallel beam projections. It does not directly apply to fanbeam or conebeam CT. The theorem was extended to fan-beam and conebeam CT image reconstruction by Shuang-ren Zhao in 1995.

# Ogbunike Caves

The **Ogbunike Caves** are located in Ogbunike, Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria.

## Site description

Located in a valley blanketed by tropical rain forest, the collection of caves has been in use over centuries by local people for whom it has particular spiritual significance. This spiritual significance is still apparent, as the "Ime Ogba" celebration is undertaken every year to commemorate the discovery of the caves.

Descending into the valley where the caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid 90s. Visitors must remove their shoes before entering the caves, as per tradition.

The main cave consists of a massive structure with a big open chamber of about 5m high, 10m wide and 30m long at the entrance. There are ten tunnels at the main chamber leading to different directions. Within the tunnels are big chambers and other tunnels of varying lengths, some of which are inter connected. The caves are occupied by a large colony of bats of various sizes. There are streams and body of water at various places. A stream flows out from one of the tunnels into a rapid flowing river (River Nkissa). At the meeting point of the river and the stream one can feel the warm water from the caves and the cold river water. Beside this portion of the river is a table land of about 5 X 5 square meters used as a relaxation spot by visitors to the caves. The immediate environment of the caves up to about 200 meters radius is a thick tropical rainforest type of vegetation. The site has sufficient boundaries (20 hectares) to protect its values from direct effects of human encroachment.

# Bo'ai Zhonglu station

**Bo'ai Zhonglu station** (simplified Chinese: 博爱中路站; traditional Chinese: 博愛中路站; pinyin: *Bóài Zhōnglù Zhàn*; Jyutping: *Bok3ngoi3 Zung1lou6 Zaam6*) is a station on Line 3 of Foshan Metro, located in Foshan's Nanhai District. It opened on August 23, 2024.

## History

When Line 3 was approved in 2012, this station was known as **Shishan Dong** (E), and it was an elevated station and the northern terminus of the line. In 2013, Line 3 was decided to extend from this station to the north, and the station became an intermediate station. In 2015, the station was changed to an underground station and renamed **Shishan**. In 2022 the station name was adjusted to **Bo'ai Zhonglu**.

The construction of the station officially started on November 18, 2016, and the groundbreaking ceremony of Line 3 was also held at the station on that day. On October 4, 2017, the first floor of the station was successfully poured, which laid the foundations to enter the construction stage of the main structure.

On December 25, 2018, the main structure of the site was successfully capped. On October 18, 2023, this site took the lead in launching comprehensive joint commissioning.

## Station layout

The station has an island platform under a planned road. The station has a double line to the north that connects to Shishan Depot.

# Douglas Barton Osborne Savile

**Douglas Barton Osborne Savile** (July 19, 1909 – August 1, 2000) was an Irish-born Canadian mycologist, plant pathologist and evolutionary biologist. He is particularly renowned for his unique work on the coevolution of host plants and their rust fungi.

Doug Savile was born in Dublin, and went to elementary school in tropical Africa and secondary school in England. He graduated from Macdonald College of McGill University in Quebec in 1934 (M.Sc.), and took 1939 his PhD from the University of Michigan under the supervision of Edwin Butterworth Mains. His thesis was on nuclear structure and behaviour in species of the Uredinales. 1939–1943 he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. Upon his return, he was employed in the *Division of Botany and Plant Pathology* at the Central Experimental Farm of the Department of Agriculture. He mainly worked on diseases of ornamental plants. From 1949, he went on numerous expeditions to the Canadian Arctic. He retired from Agriculture Canada in 1974.

## Honours

Savile was a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was awarded the George Lawson Medal, the highest award presented by the Canadian Botanical Association and the Distinguished Mycologist Award from the Mycological Society of America (in 1988). In 1978, he was made honorary doctor at McGill University.

## Research

Among his scientific works, his studies of coevolution of Saxifragaceae, Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Juncaceae and their respective rust fungi stand out. He showed that since closely related pathogenic fungi tend to prefer closely related host plants, fungi could serve as an aid to plant taxonomy and vice versa.

During the 1960s and 1970s, he published some 80 papers on parasitic fungi of a number of plant families: Saxifragaceae, Portulacaceae, Onagraceae, Apiaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Asteraceae, Liliaceae, Cyperaceae, Juncaceae and Poaceae. He also wrote regional mycofloras of the Arctic, Nova Scotia and British Columbia.

He studied splashcup dispersal of peridioles in Nidulariales and of seeds from the capsules of *Chrysosplenium* and *Mitella*.

His monograph on adaptations in arctic plants still stands as a landmark.

The standard author abbreviation Savile is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

title: Romain Maes

abstract: Romain Maes was a Belgian cyclist who won the 1935 Tour de France after wearing the yellow jersey of leadership from beginning to end. Maes was the 13th child in his family. He started racing when he was 17. He turned professional in 1933 and won the Tour de l'Ouest. The following year he started the Tour de France and twice finished stages in second place. He then crashed on the day from Digne to Nice and left the race in an ambulance. His Tour de France win in 1935 ended a six-year run by French riders. He became a hero in Belgium. He won the 1936 Paris–Roubaix but wasn't given the victory. The judge said he had seen the Frenchman, Georges Speicher, win. In 1938 he was well on the way to winning Paris-Brussels, leading the race by 100m with only 500m to go. He rode into the velodrome on which the race finished, crossed the line and stopped. The chasers, who had remembered that there was a further lap to ride, swept by him. Maes realised his mistake too late and Marcel Kint won. Maes started the Tour de France in 1939 and won the stage from Caen to Vire, a time trial over 63 km. It gave him the lead. Then he crashed on the eighth stage and abandoned the race. Maes rode on the track for several years with his namesake, Sylvère Maes, to whom he wasn't related. Romain Maes stopped racing in 1944 and opened a bar, "In de Gele Trui", near the North station in Brussels.

**Blue Ensign Technologies Limited** (ASX: BLE) is an Australian oil shale company developing the Julia Creek oil shale project through its subsidiary Queensland Shale Oil Limited. It is an owner of the intellectual property of the Rendall Process, a patented hydrogen donor solvent process of shale oil extraction. JSG-A LP (John Rendall's family) owns 42.6% of shares and Colonial First State owns 24.3%.

## Julia Creek Project

Queensland Shale Oil Limited holds a tenement of 93 square kilometres (36 sq mi) near Julia Creek in Queensland. At the first stage, a pilot shale oil plant with processing capacity one tonne of oil shale per hour will be built at Townsville. At the second stage, an oil shale mine and commercial scale shale oil plant with processing capacity of 600 tonnes per hour to be developed at Julia Creek. At the third stage, a full scale commercial shale oil plant with capacity of 2,000 tonnes per hour will be developed.

## Rendall Process

In the Rendall Process, oil shale is mixed with a petroleum-based liquid fuel. The mixture is heated to 450 °C (840 °F) with pressure of ~600 PSI in a closed chamber before it's fed into a second unit for hydrogenation of kerogen in a hydrogen donor solvent. Shale gas vapors are captured to produce hydrogen for the processing unit and to generate heat and power.

title: Ohio State Route 330

abstract: State Route 330 (SR 330) is a north–south state highway in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 330 is at a diamond interchange with the SR 15 expressway just south of the village limits of Vanlue. Its northern terminus is at SR 568 nearly 1.75 miles (2.82 km) north of Vanlue. This two-lane state route was created in the early 1930s, generally along its present routing. From the late 1930s until the middle of the 1960s, SR 330 continued further north along present-day County Road 330 (CR 330) to SR 12 near Arcadia. At the end of that time frame, the highway was restored to its original, shorter routing whose primary function was to serve the community of Vanlue.

# Ohio State Route 330

**State Route 330** (**SR 330**) is a northsouth state highway in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 330 is at a diamond interchange with the SR 15 expressway just south of the village limits of Vanlue. Its northern terminus is at SR 568 nearly 1.75 miles (2.82 km) north of Vanlue.

This two-lane state route was created in the early 1930s, generally along its present routing. From the late 1930s until the middle of the 1960s, SR 330 continued further north along present-day County Road 330 (CR 330) to SR 12 near Arcadia. At the end of that time frame, the highway was restored to its original, shorter routing whose primary function was to serve the community of Vanlue.

## Route description

SR 330 is situated entirely within the eastern half of Hancock County. The highway begins at a diamond interchange with the SR 15 expressway in Amanda Township, picking up where CR 197 leaves off. The highway briefly travels to the northeast amidst farmland before entering Vanlue. SR 330 follows Buffalo Street into the village, passing amidst some commercial businesses as it enters into the downtown of the village. SR 330 turns southeast onto Main Street, and goes through a residential neighborhood before reaching the East Street intersection, which is located adjacent to Vanlue High School. The state route turns north onto East Street, and passes amidst a few more residences prior to departing the village and re-entering Amanda Township. The remainder of the highway travels among a landscape of vast farmland, with a few homes appearing here and there. SR 330 travels due north, then follows a slight reverse curve that takes it to the northwest before resuming a northerly trek. Amidst that curve, it enters Biglick Township. SR 330 comes to an end at its junction with SR 568. Continuing north following the end of the state route is CR 330.

This highway is not included as a component of the National Highway System, a network of highways identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the country.

## History

The SR 330 designation was assigned in 1932. Originally, the highway, following its present alignment, served as a spur route off of what is now SR 568 serving the village of Vanlue. At the time, SR 568 was designated as a portion of SR 15.

Five years after its assignment, SR 330 was extended north from its present northern terminus along the routing of CR 330 to a new endpoint at SR 12 approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Arcadia. By 1965, SR 330's northern terminus was re-instated to its original location when the entirety of the 1937 extension was deleted from the state highway system. With jurisdiction of this portion of roadway transferred to Hancock County, the road was now identified as CR 330. Meanwhile, this was also the year when the SR 15 designation was transferred to a new four-lane expressway that was constructed in parallel to the south of its original two-lane alignment between Findlay and Carey, passing just to the south of Vanlue. Consequently, the route intersecting SR 330 at its northern terminus was now designated as SR 568. At the same time, SR 330 was extended slightly to the south of its former southern terminus in Vanlue to a new endpoint at a diamond interchange with the new SR 15 expressway.

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Hancock County.

title: Pietro Dusina

abstract: Pietro Dusina was an Italian Roman Catholic priest from Brescia who was the inquisitor and apostolic delegate to Malta between 1574 and 1575. Dusina was nominated inquisitor of Malta by Pope Gregory XIII on 3 July 1574, and he arrived on the island on 1 August of the same year. Prior to Dusina's appointment, the Bishop of Malta had held inquisitorial authority, but disputes between Grand Master Jean de la Cassière and Bishop Martín Royas de Portalrubio led to the Pope's nomination of Dusina as inquisitor. On 28 January 1575, the Pope confirmed Dusina's role as apostolic visitor to Malta. La Cassière offered Dusina the former Castellania in Birgu to house his official residence as well as the tribunal of the inquisition. The building had been vacant for some years, and Dusina was temporarily accommodated at Fort Saint Elmo in Valletta and later the Dominican convent in Birgu before settling in the Castellania. The latter continued to house Malta's inquisitors until 1798, and it became known as the Inquisitor's Palace. Dusina first heard a case as inquisitor on 25 August 1574, and he retained this role for only eight months, hearing the last case in May 1575 and probably leaving Malta within that month. He was succeeded by Pietro Sant'Umano as inquisitor. In 1575, Dusina visited every church in the Maltese Islands and kept a detailed record of them. Handwritten copies of this report are found in the National Library of Malta, the Archiepiscopal Archives and the Vatican Apostolic Archive, and they are important primary sources about Maltese history in the 16th century. No portrait of Dusina is known to exist.

# Core Design

**Core Design Limited** (known as **Rebellion (Derby) Ltd** between 2006 and 2010) was a British video game developer based in Derby. Founded in May 1988 by former Gremlin Graphics employees, it originally bore the name Megabrite until rebranding as Core Design in October the same year. The company was acquired by umbrella company CentreGold in December 1994, which in turn was acquired by Eidos Interactive in April 1996. In May 2006, the Core Design personnel and assets were acquired by Rebellion Developments, and the company became Rebellion Derby, which was then shut down in March 2010.

## History

Based in the city of Derby, England, Core Design was founded in 1988 by Chris Shrigley, Andy Green, Rob Toone, Terry Lloyd, Simon Phipps, Dave Pridmore, Jeremy Heath-Smith, Kevin Norburn and Greg Holmes. Most were former employees of Gremlin Graphics. The studio was part of distribution company CentreGold when it was acquired by Eidos Interactive in 1996. Heath-Smith regarded the acquisition as a relief, commenting, "The funding of development is so expensive that I doubt we could have continued to fund ourselves as an independent company." Eidos subsequently sold most of CentreGold, but retained U.S. Gold, the owners of Core Design.

The company is widely known for the *Tomb Raider* series. The first game was created by Toby Gard and Paul Douglas, released in 1996, and followed by several sequels. The success of the first *Tomb Raider* has been credited with making Eidos Interactive a major force in the industry, and turned Eidos's 1996 pretax loss of $2.6 million into a $14.5 million profit. In September 1997, Sony Computer Entertainment's U.S. arm, SCEA, signed an agreement with Eidos to make the sequel exclusive to the PlayStation console. The deal was extended to include *Tomb Raider III*. Fourth and fifth games in the franchise, *Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation* and *Tomb Raider: Chronicles* respectively, followed.

After the critical failure of *Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness* in 2003, parent company Eidos put Crystal Dynamics, another Eidos-owned studio, in charge of *Tomb Raider* franchise development. This prompted members of the Core Design management team, including Heath-Smith, and development staff to leave the company and establish a new company, Circle Studio.

In May 2006, Eidos announced that independent developer Rebellion Developments had acquired Core Design's assets and staff, while the Core brand and intellectual property, including *Tomb Raider*, remained in Eidos' possession.

In June 2006, Crystal Dynamics was confirmed to have a PSP anniversary edition of the original *Tomb Raider* in development. Remnants of the Core Design team (under the banner of Rebellion) went on to work on several titles in years since, including *Shellshock 2: Blood Trails* and *Rogue Warrior*. Starting in January 2010, due to an expiring lease on Rebellion Derby's offices, Rebellion Developments started seeking restructuring opportunities for the studio. As no other possibility than closure was found, Rebellion Derby was closed down effective on 17 March 2010.

## Legacy

In July 2010, shortly after the closure of the studio, a nearby road in Derby was named "Lara Croft Way", in honour of the studio's contribution to the creative industries.
