David Beresford Grant  (born 8 August 1956) is an English singer, comedian and vocal coach.

Career
Grant became famous in the early 1980s as a member of UK soul/funk duo, Linx, whose biggest hit was "Intuition" in 1981. He began a solo career in 1983 with the top 40 hit "Stop and Go". Further hits included  "Watching You Watching Me" and two duets with Jaki Graham, "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" which reached number five in 1985 and the Todd Rundgren-penned "Mated", which made number 20 later that year. He has also worked as a session singer for artists including Diana Ross, Rick Astley and Lighthouse Family.

Grant has become well known, along with his wife Carrie Grant, as vocal coach on Pop Idol; judge and vocal coach on the BBC TV talent show Fame Academy; and its spin-off Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. In addition, he has worked with some of the UK's top pop acts including the Spice Girls, Take That, S Club, and more recently Will Young, Atomic Kitten, Melanie C, Lemar, Charlotte Church, Joss Stone, Geri Halliwell and Julian Perretta.

He also appeared regularly as a panellist on the Five topical debate show, The Wright Stuff. In 2006, he appeared in the four part BBC television series The Sound of Musicals. In September 2006 he appeared on BBC's MasterChef programme. At the start of 2008 Grant sat as a judge on the BBC One talent show The One and Only, where once again he worked alongside Carrie.

Soon after, Grant starred as the celebrity 'hider' in an episode of the CBBC show Hider in the House. He is so far the only celebrity to have been 'discovered' in the first day's filming of the show. This appearance was a precursor to Grant and Carrie branching out into children's television later in the year, when they hosted their own CBeebies show Carrie and David's Popshop.

Grant often presented episodes of the BBC religious programme Songs of Praise and is a regular talking head expert for Channel 5 on a number of pop music-based chart countdowns, with Carrie joining him for Channel 5's lookback at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Personal life
Grant was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and moved to London as a child in the late 1950s. Grant and his wife Carrie have four children: Olive, Tylan, Arlo, and an adopted son, Nathan. All of their children are neurodivergent. Grant and Carrie are both Christian, and run a church plant in their home.

Grant was created a Member of the British Empire (MBE) by Elizabeth II in the 2019 New Years Honours list.

Bestshoring, also known as rightshoring, is the process of identifying the best location to move manufacturing, IT or business processes for a company. The decision is to be based on quantifiable criteria which are intended to take subjective and political input out of the decision cycle. Many companies use external consulting firms to make these decisions.

On August 1, 2004, Hillary Clinton wrote an article explaining why bestshoring beats outsourcing. Her argument is that "Foreign labor isn't as cheap as it seems."

Redemption is the seventh studio album released by American Southern rap duo GRITS for the contemporary Christian music market. It was co-produced by GRITS.

Critical reception

Redemption has fared well with Christian critics, who have said that while clichéd and lacking substance, it offers musically enjoyable songs. Another common complaint is its abundance in synthesized beats. Jesus Freak Hideout called it "mediocre" and originally rated it 2.5, but later raised its rating to 3.

Rating the album an A− for CCM Magazine, Anthony Barr-Jeffrey states, "Redemption is a sparkling reflection of a mature group that seems to have outgrown the Christian music scene and is completely ready to surpass the best general market hip-hop has to offer." Andree Farias, giving the album three stars at Christianity Today, writes, "It's silly, sure, but GRITS has always had a knack for levity." Rating the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Steve Hayes says, "Nice ending to a great album." Justin Mabee, indicating in a three star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "this is a mediocre release from the rap pioneers of Gotee Records." Allocating four stars to the released from Rapzilla, Wordlife responds, "Redemption is a memorable graduation present as they prepare for their commencement and move on to what looks like continued and further success." Kevin Jones, writing a review at Exclaim!, replies, "Pigeon John and Canibus each lend some lyrical guidance on the topics of relationships and ambitions to round out a disc that you could easily imagine blowing out of a set of window rattling car speakers on a stuffy summer afternoon." Reviewing the album for GOSPELflava, Dwayne Lacy reports, "With Redemption, GRITS are poised to do what many fear is impossible in holy hip hop: be a commercial success while not isolating the church community." Justin 'Tha Shiznute' Chandler, allotting the album an eight and a half star review from Rap Reviews, recognizes, " This album expands their horizons and pushes them into a stronger direction towards the future." Signaling in a one star review at The Phantom Tollbooth, Scott Lake cautions, "There are positive lyrics on this CD, even a few references to Christ and God. But there are some serious mixed messages here. Parents, keep this one away from the kids if you don't want them confused."

Accolades
In 2008, the album was nominated for a Dove Award for Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year at the 39th GMA Dove Awards. The song "Open Bar" was also nominated for Rap/Hip-Hop Recorded Song of the Year.

In enzymology, an isocitrate epimerase is classified as follows: . This number indicates that it is an isomerase, specifically a racemase or epimerase that acts on hydroxy acids and their derivatives, namely isocitrate. Isocitrate epimerase specifically catalyzes the reversible reaction:
(1R,2S)-1-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate ↔ (1S,2S)-1-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate
which can also be described as
D-threo-isocitrate ↔ D-erythro-isocitrate

History 
Isocitrate epimerase was originally isolated from the fungal cell-free extract of Penicillium purpurogenum , where it was discovered due to the excess accumulation of L-alloisocitric acid (D-erythro-isocitrate)—a diastereomer of isocitrate previously not seen in nature. In order to accumulate L-alloisocitric acid as a fermentation product, P. purpurogenum needed to be grown on citrate supplemented nutrient agar. During this fermentation it was found that the fermentation yield of L-alloisocitric acid was capable of “exceeding 70% without producing any other stereoisomers of isocitiric acid or other metabolites”.

This enzyme has not been heavily studied since first being identified in 1982, as a result of this there is presently not a crystal structure or active site description for isocitrate epimerase. Other isocitrate enzymes, such as isocitrate lyase and isocitrate dehydrogenase have been studied more closely due to their key roles in glycolysis and the TCA cycle.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Prati (Our Lady of the Fields) is a 17th-century, Roman Catholic church, dedicated to Marian devotion, located a few kilometers outside of Busseto, in the frazione of Roncole Verdi, in the province of Parma, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

History
The Sanctuary was erected in 1690-1696 under the designs of a local architect, Francesco Callegari. It was the site of a parish church till 1926, when it became a sanctuary due to the veneration by pilgrims of an icon of the Virgin, denominated Madonna dei Prati.

However the church is likely most memorable for being the parish church near the birthplace of Giuseppe Verdi, and interlaced with some events of his early life. The rector of this church, Don Paolo Costa, was putatively the first mentor for musical training of a seven year old Verdi, who was born nearby. However, the rector Costa died soon after in 1820, and Verdi continued training under maestro Don Piero Baistrocchi.

A more dramatic event occurred in 1828, during the local festival honoring the Madonna. Verdi was making his way to the event to sing in boys' choir when a lightning bolt struck the church, killing the two choirboys and four priests. Verdi had been late to arrive due to the storm.

Some tellings of the events, say that one of the dead choirboys had bullied Verdi, and he had decreed a curse on him. This telling is not found on the official version.

The interior of the church is otherwise of no great artistic interest, but the story can be read in many ways either as a warning to Verdi, who for many years was seen as anti-clerical, or as a sign of god's protection of the artist. The connection of the lightning strike to Verdi is not emphasized in the Diocese entry on the church.

Otto Friedrich Ignatius (28 July 1794, Hageri - 7 September 1824, Saint Petersburg) was a Baltic-German painter, writer, and composer.

Life and work 
His father, , was a parish priest and theologian, who founded a school where he received his first drawing lessons. His teacher was ; a famous  painter from Dresden. One of his fellow students, Gustav Adolf Hippius, also became a prominent painter, and a lifelong friend. He married Ignatius' sister, Friederike (1798–1886), in 1820.

From 1812 to 1813, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. This was followed by studies at the Academy of Arts, Berlin, with Friedrich Georg Weitsch. In 1815, together with Hippius and August Georg Wilhelm Pezold, he went to Dresden, then Prague and Vienna. At the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he was a student of Heinrich Friedrich Füger.

His travels then took him to Italy, in 1817, where he lived and worked in Rome for two years. He also became associated with the Nazarene movement. He returned to Hageri in 1819, but was there only briefly before moving to Reval (Tallinn).

The following year, he became a painter for the court of Tsar Alexander I, at the Hermitage. He held that position until 1824, when he died of tuberculosis, shortly after the death of his wife, Adelheid, to whom he had been married for only a little more than a year.

His best known works are portraits, although he also created numerous works on religious themes. What would have been his greatest work, a wall painting in the church at Tsarskoye Selo, was left unfinished when he died. It was later completed by his friend, Hippius, but was ultimately destroyed during World War II.

He was also an amateur writer, producing poems and dramas; including a tragedy on the life of Marino Faliero (1824). He wrote songs as well. His Italian diary was published posthumously, in 1830.
