D.F.F. – Button Factory – 12-04-14 – Review
By No More Workhorse on April 13, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )
D.F.F. played in the Button Factory last night to launch their new album 'Pouric Songs'. DFF are a 'supergroup' including the talents of Dave Flynn, Vyvienne Long, Niwel Tsumbu, Dan Bodwell, Aidan Dunphy, Cion O'Callaghan and Ciarán Swift.The band is fronted by Dave Flynn who plays guitar and vocals, with Vyvienne Long on Cello and vocals, and lead guitar from Niwel Tsumbu. They have a very impressive rhythm section; with Dan Bodwell on Double Bass, Ciarán Swift on Rhythm guitar and two percussionists Aidan Dunphy and Cion O'Callaghan. Michelle Owens joined the band on stage playing a variety of instruments and also acted as the support act on the night. The album features the lyrics of Pádraic Ó'Beirn, and that is where the name of the album came from.
There was an unusual mix of sounds at the concert last night, as the band showed off their various talents. They moved through African sounds, to pop and funk, and most genres in between. The one constant on all tracks is the impressive rhythm section that drives the tunes on. Despite the bands best efforts, early in the night the small crowd were resisting their attempts to get people up and dancing, and remained suction cupped to their chairs but later in the night the beat or alcohol had driven many to their feet to fill the space in front of the stage.
The band covered much ground and featured tracks such as 'Beautiful Freaks like us', 'Quartz', 'Harvest Do' and 'Mad for you', along with the majority of the new album. It's an interesting and diverse sound they create, that has a mesmeric quality. Their songs slowly build and create grooves that you don't want to stop! Check them out on the links below.
You can find out more about the band on their web site here.
Their new album is streaming exclusively on the Irish Times Website here.

The last ever on-stage appearance of iconic comedy duo Little and Large will be broadcast in full tonight (August 14).
Syd Little and Eddie Large looked back on their glittering decade-spanning careers during a 90-minute talk at Bristol's Slapstick Festival in January 2019.
But it turned out to be the final time the pair would share the same stage.
In April this year, Eddie - who lived in Portishead - died at the age of 78 after catching Covid-19.
The beloved pair's hilarious and touching reunion will be streamed online at 7.30pm tonight, allowing viewers to see Little and Large on screen once again.
The streaming event will be free, but viewers will be asked to donate to charity (Image: Gavin Crilly)
The film, which will be shown on Slapstick's YouTube channel, is free to watch but viewers will be invited to donate to a charity set up in Eddie's name.
It will be accompanied by a Facebook watch party, which members of Eddie's family are expected to join.
Aside from brief appearances on shows such as Pointless Celebrities and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Little and Large had not performed regularly since 2002, when Eddie - real name Edward McGinnis - developed heart problems.
Syd, Eddie's sidekick for more than half a century, gave the eulogy at the funeral of his close friend at South Bristol Crematorium in April.
Other films of one-off events organised by Slapstick can also be seen for free on the festival's YouTube channel.
They include the last outing by all three members of The Goodies, prior to Tim Brooke Taylor's death, also in April from coronavirus and the event at which Sir Ken Dodd received the Aardman Slapstick Comedy Legend Award.

Slapstick Festival director Chris Daniels said: "These are challenging times for everyone involved with entertaining the public and it is particularly tough on small organisations like Slapstick which rely so heavily on year-round fundraising and ticket sales to keep going.
"But we've been thrilled by the response so far to our online offerings and the upside is that many more people have been able to experience virtual Slapstick than we'd ever be able to accommodate in any local venue."
To see the final performance of Little and Large, head to Slapstick's YouTube channel at 7.30pm tonight.

A White Rose at Midnight
Lim Chor Pee
On the cusp of independence, cultures collide in a bedroom in Singapore. As the Vietnam War rages on, the English-educated scholar Lee Hua Min—"the finest product of the University"—finds himself hopelessly disillusioned. Enter Wong Ching Mei, a Chinese-educated former nightclub singer seeking to enrol in Nanyang University. Mirroring the intense tussles between the English- and Chinese-speaking during Singapore's formative years, Hua Min and Ching Mei trade ferocious barbs even as they are inexplicably drawn to each other. When Su-Ling, Hua Min's ex-classmate, returns from London, Hua Min is torn between their advances and the extremely different worlds they inhabit. Humorous, witty and prescient, A White Rose At Midnight is a pithy portrait of a soul—and nation—divided.
A White Rose At Midnight was first staged to critical acclaim by the Experimental Theatre Club in 1964. It was pioneer playwright Lim Chor Pee's second and final play after the landmark Mimi Fan (1962). In 2014, Centre 42 mounted a partial dramatised reading of the play.
Praise:
"Full of wit and humour... Though the humour is unending this play has a serious theme — the search for identity by the present day generation."
"[Lim Chor Pee has] a mind that has something original to say to an audience which is sympathetic to the growth of Malayan theatre."
About the Playwright:
Lim Chor Pee was a pioneer Singapore playwright writing in English in the early 1960s, part of a circle of writers and theatre practitioners finding their voice as Singapore gained independence.
Born in Penang in 1936, he attended the Penang Free School and in 1955, he set sail for England where he read law at St. John's College, Cambridge University. Upon graduation in 1958, he moved to London to sit for the English Bar exams. He came to Singapore in 1959 joining the Singapore Legal Service and later established himself in private practice where he spent the rest of his career.
He was the founder president of the Experimental Theatre Club (ETC), which, together with like-minded friends, he set up in 1961 to foster the growth of English language Malayan theatre in a time when the local theatre scene was dominated by expatriates and Western plays. As well as producing plays for ETC, he began to write. The following year his first play Mimi Fan was staged by ETC at the Drama Centre at Fort Canning. His second play A White Rose at Midnight was staged in 1964.
He contributed articles on the development of local theatre to Tumasek, a literary journal, for which he also served as a member of its editorial advisory board. Started by poet and novelist, Dr. Goh Poh Seng in 1964, Tumasek aimed to provide a platform to nurture local writers and counted Edwin Thumboo and Robert Yeo among its contributors.
Lim practised law for over 40 years until he passed away in December 2006, leaving behind his Swiss-born wife, three children and three grandchildren.

Assistantship: A form of financial aid in which the graduate student is paid for work performance. This work is often related to the student's studies or area of specialization. A research assistantship or "RA" pays a student to assist a professor on an experiment or research project; a teaching assistantship or "TA" pays a student to teach sections or classes of undergraduate courses, or to help grade papers and examinations.
Admissions Committee: This committee considers applications for graduate school. Decisions are made by a committee of faculty members within an academic department. For example, students applying to an engineering department will be admitted or denied by the admission committee composed of faculty members in engineering rather than by a central admissions director within the university's administration.
Thesis/Dissertation or Examination Committee: A committee of faculty members usually chosen by the graduate student from his or her department or from closely related departments. This committee helps the student plan the thesis/dissertation or determines the general content of the qualifying examination for the final thesis/dissertation defense.
These committees usually serve both as advisors to the student and as examiners on the material studied or research performed.
Committee Chair: The chairperson of the thesis/dissertation is a faculty member in the department the student is studying in. Cho ice of a chairperson is made by the student according to his/her proposed area of research. The chairperson acts as the academic advisor, as well as assuming primary responsibility for guiding the student throughout the thesis/dissertation research project and completion of the thesis/dissertation. The chair is responsible for the integrity and scholarly intent by insuring the thesis/dissertation is consistent with the standards of research in the discipline.
Comprehensive Exam: Exams usually taken in the final year of the graduate program. The type of exam varies on the program and degree earned, but is usually a minimum of 8 hours in length. Exam questions are open ended to allow the student to demonstrate their comprehensive knowledge of the discipline. Usually, exam answers are evaluated by the committee of faculty who wrote the questions. Each question must pass by a majority vote for the student to pass the exam and be allowed to graduate.
Defense: This is the final examination on a graduate student's thesis/dissertation, and the final requirement for the Master's or Ph.D. The defense may take one of several forms, such as a lecture on the thesis/dissertation topic, or a formal oral examination. The graduate student explains and defends the accuracy and significance of the research and arguments in his or her thesis.
Director of Graduate Study: Also called a Graduate Advisor. The faculty member in a department who is responsible for disseminating information about the graduate program, answering questions from the applicants, and advising graduate students who have not yet selected a thesis/dissertation topic. The Director of Graduate Study usually sits on or chairs the department admissions and is the best source of information for the potential applicant.
Discipline: A broad field of study such as psychology, physics, English, or computer science.
Dissertation: The independent project conducted by a graduate student after completing coursework and general examinations. The dissertation will vary in form and length depending on the discipline and nature of the research project; it usually requires one to three years to complete. The dissertation is supposed to show mastery of knowledge and research tools, and should contribute something new to the discipline in which it is written.
Doctorate: Another word for the Ph.D. or Doctor of Philosophy degree. Those who earn the Ph.D. are entitled to use the title "Doctor."
(GAPSFAS): The Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid Service. The GAPSFAS form is a standardized, detailed financial aid form many graduate schools ask applicants to complete if they apply for financial aid. GAPSFAS is a department of Educational Testing Service.
(GRE): The Graduate Record Examination is for graduate school applicants what the SAT is for college applicants. It is a standardized test designed by the Educational Testing Service to measure knowledge and skills; it is scored on a 200-800 scale. The GRE Aptitude Test has three sections: verbal, quantitative, and analytical. There are also GRE Advanced tests in specific disciplines such as French, mathematics, philosophy, engineering, and so on. GRE scores are often an admissions application requirement.
General Examination: This is also called the preliminary or qualifying examination. The general exam tests the depth and the breadth of a graduate student's knowledge in his or her discipline. It may be written or oral, is often divided into sections corresponding to the specific fields within the discipline, and is usually taken after the completion of coursework. The student prepares for it independently. After passing "generals" or "qualifiers" the student begins work on the dissertation.
Master's Degree: The degree of professional certification in the field, following the Bachelor's. A master's curriculum usually rests on one to three years of course work and may involve a thesis, a limited research project or a comprehensive exam as the final requirement. The master's is not often a prerequisite for admission to a Ph.D. program.
Outside Fellowship: A fellowship awarded by a source outside the student's university or graduate department such as a corporation, government program, or foundation.
Ph.D.: The Doctor of Philosophy degree, a research degree which usually involves coursework, special and general examinations, a major research project leading to the writing of a dissertation, and defense of the dissertation. The Ph.D. can require anywhere between three to seven years to complete depending on the discipline, institutional policies, and the student's preparedness.
Postdoctoral "Postdoc" Position: A position which allows individuals who have completed a Ph.D. to gain additional experience in their chosen field.
Proposal: Also called a prospectus. A statement or paper in which the graduate student proposes to his or her department committee a thesis/dissertation topic with details on what the thesis/dissertation will accomplish, and how the research will be conducted. The proposal must be approved before work on the thesis/dissertation begins.
Reader: A professional responsible for advising, reading, and approving a graduate student's thesis/dissertation. A student usually has two or three readers (the "first" reader being the main adviser), all of whom have some special interest or expertise in the student's field, and are thus in a good position to help supervise the research and writing of the thesis/dissertation.
Research Degree: A degree, like the Ph.D., which prepares the student for a career in research, scholarship, and college or university teaching. The program of study requires substantial independent research and presentation of the results in a dissertation.
Stipend: A grant of money to a graduate student for expenses beyond tuition and fees. Graduate fellowships sometimes pay both tuition and a stipend, which can be applied toward living expenses.
Thesis: A research paper presented as a major, and usually the final, requirement of a degree program. The thesis is sometimes used interchangeably with "dissertation," in Ph.D. research. More often it refers to a project more limited in scope completed as a Master's requirement.


Insurance watchdog Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority said on Tuesday it estimates the insurance business in India to touch Rs 4 lakh crore (Rs 4 trillion) in the current fiscal.
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Chairman T S Vijayan also said the regulator is mulling to bring out norms for sub-brokers of insurance products.
He, however, did not put any timeframe for bringing out guidelines.
"October seems to be business is good for all companies, both life and non-life.
"Whole year there should be a good growth compared to last year. Last year industry has collected Rs 3.75 lakh crore (Rs 3.75 trillion)," Vijayan said on the sidelines of a programme.
Asked if the business would touch Rs 4 lakh crore in the current fiscal, he said: "Anybody's guess. It will be somewhere around that (Rs 4 lakh crore)."
"Similarly distribution also we are very keen that distribution channel should contribute to the development of the industry where agents or brokers which are the traditional models. We also brought out regulation for CSC (customer service centers) seriously looking at the sub-broker level," Vijayan said.
Later talking to reporters he said: "It (regulation for sub-brokers) is still under discussion. There is no timeframe for that."
He said the regulator is working to see that both the insurance distribution and products come to a stage where they can contribute and address the real need of the customers propelling the industry to the next level of growth.
According to him the regulator approves products in such way that there is little or no scope for mis-selling the product.

5 Essential Tips for a Successful Content Marketing Strategy
Wendy Dessler	on February 2, 2019
For sure, content marketing is here to stay. And why not? It's a great way to attract and engage new customers, so the businesses use this strategy to its fullest. 90% of the businesses already use content marketing as their main strategy to promote the brand. But what's more important is that people want brands to create content. Reportedly, 84% of people expect brands to come up with new content on a regular basis. But here's what stats also have to say: Image credit: Cision It's obvious that marketers value content and see it as the primary way to improve marketing impact. Moreover, internet users are interested in content more than in traditional ads, but they value only helpful and informative content. Nevertheless, for 63% of marketers, it's a challenge to generate traffic and leads, meaning that their content fails to perform well. How can you avoid that? Here are 5 essential tips for a successful content marketing strategy.
Know Your Audience Well
For a content marketing strategy, there's nothing more important than having your audience personas figured out (besides creating high-quality content, of course). Some brands make a huge mistake by trying to target everyone in order to increase sales. But what they don't understand is that it seriously harms the quality of the content itself. To identify audience personas, you can follow this pattern:
What is their occupation or what field they work in?
What's the demographics? (age, gender, location, etc.)
What are their goals and challenges?
What are their expectations?
By answering these questions you'll be able to identify exactly who you want to target with your content. A perfect example is Nike's Instagram content, where they target people of disabilities empowering them to pursue their dreams: Image credit: Nike
Focus on Personalizing
Personalization is the key trend in content marketing. 31% of consumers want their experiences with brands to be more personalized, while the rest want the personalization to blend with high-quality content. You can implement personalization in many different ways, starting from the content for emails, like here: or make their shopping experiences more personalized. Consumers like personalized interactive content, where they have a chance to get active and participate in helping you develop your brand. So, personalized content like surveys and quizzes is also a good way to engage more customers.
Benefit from Storytelling
Storytelling has recently become the most followed trend in content marketing. Consumers support this trend, as they have become tired of traditional forms of advertising and prefer a more subtle, behind-the-scenes promotion. Nike has made content that is based on storytelling something regular on their Instagram page. Here's the example of how they used the story of LeBron James to promote their brand: Image credit: Nike There are many other examples of Nike telling the story of famous athletes Simone Biles, Kyrie Irving, and Serena Williams to show their followers that you can achieve your dreams, even if you were born to a poor family. These posts have over 8 million likes each, which shows that storytelling format can be incredibly engaging.
Invest in Video Content
The world of marketing is slowly starting to invest more and more into video content. Stats show that people spend 2.6 more times on pages that have video content on them and 89% of consumers claim that watching a video has influenced their purchasing decisions. Creating videos is a great way to diversify your content strategy. Especially when there are so many different options for posting videos, from stories on Instagram to creating content for YouTube. However, essay writers warn brands that the process of creating a video must include writing a script. Otherwise, you'll have a video that doesn't have any purpose.
Does Your Content Have a Mobile Version?
It's absolutely vital that you create content, which will fit both the desktop version and the mobile version of your website. It is reported that 48% of customers started searching for the product they bought on mobile first, not to mention that 90% of consumers more than 4 hours a day using their phones. The stats also show that consumers will leave the website, where content does not upload fast, within 3 to 5 seconds. So, it's worth investing in the mobile version of your content as well, not only to keep existing customers but to attract new ones as well.
Planning and implementing a content marketing strategy can be quite time-consuming. Hence, smart marketers curate content relevant to their niche and share it with their audience. This helps them save time, build trust and be authentic. Free content curation and discovery tools like ShareIt help you find the right content without much effort.
The Bottom Line Content marketing is worth investing money, but make sure that you invest all your time and creativity into developing a content marketing strategy. Hopefully, these tips will get you inspired to create a content marketing strategy that will bring your business to success!

LIBRARY COLUMN | Picture books of 2021
Jennifer Bergen Contributing writer
So many wonderful children's picture books came out this year, some of them light-hearted, some serious, and some with amazing illustrations — all of them begging to be shared with a young person. Pre-readers depend on their grown-ups to spend time reading stories and delighting in them together, and reading aloud forms a strong bond as well. Here are some new books at the top of my list to share:
"Change Sings" by Amanda Gorman is just a beautiful book, from the colorful flowing illustrations by Loren Long to the lyrical poetry of the text. It follows one girl with a guitar who befriends a boy while they pick up trash in the neighborhood. With each page turn, more children are added. Each child is given an instrument to play along as they find ways to positively impact their environment and people around them. Gorman's remarkable talents for composing poetry and inspiring others are both evident in this book which reminds us all that we can change our world.
"Chez Bob" by Bob Shea (we see what you did there, Bob!) will have your kids giggling from the start as a very lazy alligator named Bob plans to get his dinner without having to put in any work. How can he get delectable birdies to come to him? He decides to open a bird restaurant on his snout! This plan actually works, as birds flock to Chez Bob, "which is a real restaurant and not a trick," Bob assures them. But, as Bob Shea says, this is "not a European picture book." Violence is averted, and Bob is sure to steal your heart by the end.
"It Was Supposed to Be Sunny" by Samantha Cotterill is an important book to share with children about the strong emotions that come from disappointment. Part of the "Little Senses" series, Cotterill's stories are helpful for "wonderfully sensitive kids," including those on the autism spectrum. When Laila planned her birthday party, she had very distinct ideas about how it would go, including being outside in the sunshine and having a unicorn cake. She and her mother planned activities that suited Laila's sensibilities, like not having balloons or a loud birthday song, and instead planning a sparkly craft and a "wish jar." The book begins with a loud thunder boom, and Laila's party doesn't look like it will go right. She and her mother have to keep adjusting and finding solutions. This book is every bit as important for the parents as it is for the child to see how to work through frustrations and sadness, and find ways to still have fun!
"The Littlest Yak" by Lu Fraser and Kate Hindley is the perfect pick for the child who feels too small, too young, and too left out. Hindley's extremely adorable-looking yaks do not make fun of little Gertie, but she feels left out just the same. "I'm a yak at the back who is stuck in her smallness, I want to grow UP and have greatness and tallness!" When an even tinier yak is stuck at the end of a narrow mountain ledge, only Gertie is small enough to climb up and save him. As Gertie's mummy has said, bigness comes in different shapes and sizes. Being small is not so bad after all.
"It Fell from the Sky" by brothers Terry and Eric Fan will delight kids and adults with black and white detailed drawings of insects looking like they dropped out of Alice's Wonderland. The only color is from a magical object that has dropped down from the sky for the ladybug, walking stick and grasshopper to analyze. What could this amazing, round, yellow and green object be? When the finely accessorized spider decides to take it as his own, he creates an exhibit where bugs must pay for a rare glimpse of the Wonder from the Sky. Part cautionary tale, part magical fantasy, the art and story will entice young listeners.

In the late Victorian era, sisters Anna and Emma are two kindred spirits in every sense of the word. Kindred is the story of their enduring friendship, as a gigantic wave sweeps Anna into the modern era, forcing Emma to jump through time and space in search of her beloved sister. Meanwhile Anna is enjoying life in the modern world, and adapting to its quirks, although she misses her sister dearly.

Considering the gazillion transformation photos flooding our Instagram feeds each day, we have to admit it's rare that they ever actually inspire us to put down that slice of pizza and put the gym membership to good use. That was until we discovered this student's account who's gained two stone but still giving your usual transformation posts some serious competition. SO refreshing.
The slew of transformation photos we're so used to seeing each day on our social feeds are often merely carefully styled images of 'success stories', with the dieter in question posing to perfection to show off their decrease in lbs. But how many of these actually empower and inspire you to be the best version of yourself? How many of them admit to putting on weight rather than actually losing it?
BCS student Amie Wiley is switching things up by sharing transformation posts of her own, but with a stark difference - she's actually gained over two stone.
After admitting to previously coveting the super skinny aesthetic with 'matchstick legs' achieved by 'overdoing it on the cardio and eating very little' she has since quit the dieting and transformed her body to become stronger and much healthier - and gain over two stone in the process.
Explaining how she's gone 'from skinny to strong' Amie couldn't be more confident with her body. She admits the transformation has taken four years to become 'a stronger Amie with much more muscle, who lifts weights and that eats much more food!' and it's refreshing AF to see such a fitness account filtering out the ahem, unwanted ab spam and showing carbs some love for once.
Talking about the photo on the left, Amie explained, 'this picture was taken back in 2014, when I was still doing cardio but I had just started to do some strength training and body weight exercises e.g. Core exercises and body weighted squats. I was still extremely skinny and my legs are to show for that.
Documenting her journey so frankly on her account with such posts has won her an abundance of likes and positive comments from followers in support of her honesty and empowering message.
We think this kind of frank, open attitude to the images we see on Instagram and most importantly, transforming your body in a healthy way is refreshing and Amie looks unreal as a result.
A two stone weight gain certainly doesn't have to mean the end of the world if you're happy - and Amie is proof of that. Get it girl!

Ghost Walker by Mary Rundle – Exclusive Excerpt
March 26, 2019 June 23, 2020 by mattdoylemedia, posted in Books And Blog Tours
GHOST WALKER / Mary Rundle
Hi all, Wow! Thank you so much for hosting the blog tour of Ghost Walker, Book 6 of the Blackwood Pack series. It's exciting to be here and I have a special exclusive excerpt. The Fated Mates in this story are Zane and David ̶ a couple that faces danger and evil from the past that they have to overcome to find their HEA. Luckily, the entire Blackwood Pack will help them. Please enjoy!
During dinner, Logan kept an eye on Zane and David, wondering what was so special about the newest member of the Blackwood Pack that Jackson would ask for a picture of him. He hadn't told his brother about what happened when Zane and David shook hands, but he'd get to that when he called him later, back in the privacy of his hotel suite.
"David, are you coming back to the hotel with us tonight?" asked Theo.
Zane spoke up, "We haven't decided what we're doing, Theo."
"Where are you from?" asked Norm, then adding quickly, "Not that it matters but I was just wondering."
"No problem," David said, "I'm from a region in Italy called Tuscany."
"I know all about it," Kieran said, "It was one of the areas my Shaman made me study. I always wanted to go there to see the Church of the Four Gods. From the pictures my Shaman showed me, it's magnificent, but he told me I couldn't really appreciate it unless I stood exactly in the center of it, looked up and turned around in a circle and then I'd understand why so many paranormals chose to follow that religion. Have you ever been there?"
Unsure if Kieran was trying to expose him, David felt the urge to vanish again and it was only Zane's hand holding his that kept him there giving him a sense of calmness. "Yes, I have," he answered, "but I never did that. What happens when you do the circle thing?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Kieran said, "I don't know. My Shaman never told me that, only that I would find understanding, but that doesn't matter to me, I just want to see the architecture…Oh macushla, did you ever go there?"
"No, but I agree with you—it's a stunning piece of workmanship," answered Logan, "and it's one of the finest examples of Ancient High Gothic Celestial architecture left on earth."
"It's a church for paranormals? I never heard of it. Can humans go there too?" asked Theo.
"Only if they're mated to a paranormal," Kieran said.
"You mean a shifter can have a human for a mate? Pooh bear, did you know that?" Theo asked.
"No, I don't remember learning that in school," Norman answered.
"My Shaman," continued Kieran, "told me it was more common a long time ago, but after humans started to hunt shifters—and when shifters began to go underground, so to speak—the gods decreed it should stop. They also forbade any shifter from disclosing the existence of another."
Dakota then joined in. "Slate told me the original owners of this pub were a wolf shifter and a human and that's what saved it when the war against the Scottish wolf shifters occurred."
"Very true," Ian's mother, Lili, joined in. "Your parents would bring you here, Ian, whenever they had to visit Edinburgh. Do you remember?"
"So that's why I had a déjà vu moment downstairs," Ian chuckled. "I was chalking it up to my pregnancy hormones."
Smiling, Lili's husband, Samuel, said, "Remember dear, we would come here every year for our anniversary."
Lili ducked her head, giggling, as she remembered what they did afterwards, and said, "Of course I do…and I also recall how beautiful the nights were."
Seeing Ian blush at his mother's comment, Colton smirked at the thought his mate wasn't comfortable about his parents reminiscing about their sex life, so he steered the conversation back to the original topic. "If I understand you, Kieran, the Church of the Four Gods is also a religion?" asked Colton.
"Uh-huh. My Shaman told me about it but I wasn't too impressed at the time because my belief in our gods and the Fates was very strong, but seeing the Church of the Four Gods was always something I wanted to do. Hey, macushla, I have a great idea!"
"Oh, no, here we go again!" groaned Theo.
"What do you mean?" Zane asked.
"Anytime, Ki says he has a great idea, beware," answered Norman.
"P-u-u-leeze, that is so not true," Kieran said. "I was thinking Logan and I could stop there on our way to Mykonos."
"Why are you going to Greece?" asked David.
"Oh. My. God. David, you and Zane must come with us since you are newly mated also."

People described the impact of not being able to access the Internet in terms of exclusion, isolation, powerlessness and limited opportunity.
For some groups of participants, losing digital access also meant losing access to other essential activities. For youth with disabilities, a lack of digital access could mean time away from accessible education, which put pressure and stress on the young person and whānau. Likewise, a lack of data and GPS for navigating undermined the independence of disabled youth, and furthered the isolation some feel. Using apps to navigate was particularly important for vision impaired youth. Finding free WiFi spots was an important theme in many conversations across impairment types.
Participants also emphasised that losing the ability to be digitally connected could have a disproportionately disastrous impact on people in vulnerable or tenuous times, or when moving through a life transition.
This was a significant theme in the discussions and interviews, and came from people who were referring to their own personal experience, people who had seen this impact on their friends and family and people who worked with people during times of stress and transition. These diverse participants agreed that the very times when you were most likely to lose digital connection – e.g. when leaving a violent relationship or when leaving school with no job to go to - were also the times when that lack of connection could have the most negative impacts.

A Balázs Vendéglő Budapest II. kerületében, a Hűvösvölgyi út 207. szám alatt működött. A vendéglőt egy 18. századi kocsma helyén nyitották meg 1838-ban. Az államosításig a család 6 generációja vezette, akiknek a János-hegyen, Máriaremetén és Pesthidegkúton is voltak vendéglői.

Jó konyhája miatt egyaránt népszerű volt mind a polgárság, mind az arisztokrácia körében. A vendéglő cégére a Magyar Kereskedelmi és Vendéglátóipari Múzeumban található.

A vendéglő épülete 1980 augusztusában leégett, de korabeli formájában újjáépítették, és műemléki védelmet is kapott. Ennek ellenére - a tulajdonosi viszonyok tisztázatlansága miatt - 2004-ben bezárt, majd állapota leromlásával párhuzamosan hajléktalanok tanyája lett. 2009 októberében az épület kiégett.

2012-ben a magántulajdonban lévő épületet törölték a műemléki nyilvántartásból. Megkezdték az épület bontását, így az végleg eltűnik.

If you have hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), you will know that losing weight can be problematic. The condition causes you to gain weight, so even if you virtually starve yourself you cannot lose weight.
For some, once their underactive thyroid has been treated losing weight becomes easier. Unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone. Some people find that even after successful hypothyroidism treatment, weight loss is still difficult.
In this article, we are going to look at why that is the case and, importantly, what you can do to further heal your body and improve its ability to shed the pounds.
Why Does an Underactive Thyroid make it Hard to Lose Weight?
There is a definite connection between hypothyroidism and weight loss or gain. It has been medically proven, and is not an urban myth, which is what some people will tell you.
The thyroid is a small gland, but it has a big effect on how well your body works. Its main function is to regulate the body's metabolism. Therefore, if there is something wrong with the thyroid there will be a problem with the body's metabolism.
Your body's metabolism is extremely complex and it has an impact on many aspects of your health. However, here we are looking at only one aspect of your metabolism. Specifically, how it regulates the rate at which your body burns energy.
For the purposes of this article, we suggest that you look at energy in this way. View each calorie that you eat as a unit of energy. A healthy body with a normally functioning thyroid (and therefore metabolism or metabolic rate) will burn energy at the proper rate.
In a healthy person, their weight gain or loss will accurately reflect how many calories they eat. If they eat more than their body needs, they will gain weight. When they eat and consume fewer calories, they lose weight.
Someone with an underactive thyroid will not burn energy anywhere near as fast as someone with a healthy thyroid. The result is that even if they eat less they gain weight. This is why those who suffer with hypothyroidism struggle with weight loss.
Is Weight Loss with Hypothyroidism Possible?
However, weight loss with hypothyroidism is possible. It takes a multi-disciplined approach, but it is possible.
You need to follow a diet, but it is quite unlike a normal weight loss diet. You need to restart or reboot your metabolism, and you have to give your body the nutrients it needs to heal and begin to function properly.
To function properly, your thyroid needs certain trace elements, vitamins, and minerals. Unfortunately, some people's diets do not include enough of these to keep the body functioning properly.
Address these deficiencies and you will considerably improve the functionality of your thyroid gland. It takes time to do this and reverse what is often years of damage, but it can be done.
Once balance has returned to your body losing weight will become possible. The more diligently you follow the diet the faster you will recover, but it takes time.
Again, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding this. It is commonly believed that a lack of iodine is the cause of hypothyroidism.
Whilst that is true, that oversimplifies the issue. Many dietary deficits and factors contribute to thyroid problems. For this reason, simply eating more foods that are rich in iodine will not necessarily solve your thyroid issues.
Concentrating on improving the functionality of the thyroid is vital if you want to lose weight. However, again it is not as simple as getting your thyroid functioning properly again.
When it comes to weight loss and metabolism the liver plays a vital role. If your liver is not functioning well it can lead to your body not burning energy at a normal rate. If your thyroid is healthy and your liver is not, you may still not lose weight. You need to heal both organs.
There are many reasons why your liver may not be functioning well, but one of them is a malfunctioning thyroid. This is another reason why, for people with hypothyroidism, weight loss can be difficult. Both a malfunctioning thyroid and liver are slowing their metabolism.
As you can see the connection between hypothyroidism and weight loss is strong. It is, like the human body, also complex. The above is only a taste of what needs to be done to help hypothyroid sufferers to lose weight.
There are a lot of reasons your thyroid is under-performing. Identifying and addressing each one of them is the best way to tackle hypothyroidism and regain the ability to lose weight. Tackling the problem from several angles will considerably improve your changes of healing your thyroid and beginning to lose weight.
Using this website will help you to gain a better understanding of the disease and help you to learn how to become healthy again. Take the time to read the other articles to learn more and begin the path to recovery.

Top Cars
John Cena's Lawsuit Ford Up For Sale
For those auto enthusiasts who love following celebrity car news, then you may recall a couple months ago when Ford settle a lawsuit with WWE superstar and now Hollywood movie actor, John Cena, as well as a dealership. Cena resold a Ford GT shortly after purchase, breaking a contractual rule that the vehicle could not be sold for at least two years of ownership.
Well, Jalopnik revealed that very same car is back up for grabs, soon to be in Monterey, California, as part of an auction to sell it off via the same dealer that was originally sued.
Chico, California's News Auto Inc. president, Bernie Knaus, stated that the reason behind the resale (again) is that the famer that they sold it to, at 78 years old, can not get in and out of the car after purchasing it a year ago; therefore, while he was excited about own one last sports car, he also wants it to go to a person who can drive it. In an interesting turn of events, the farmer reportedly applied for the GT directly to Ford, but was denied.
Sadly, it took close to a year after the car was delivered to discover that, due to back problems, the farmer could not easily get out or into the vehicle. Rather than having the car sit in his garage, he wants to sell it to a person who can actually drive it.
As the farmer is a 'private guy' he didn't want Knaus to release his name, but did approach him on the best way to sell it. Both thought the Monterey Car Week auction was their best bet. The last time a Ford GT was auctioned off, it sold for close to 1.7 million. Ironically, it is currently part of another Ford lawsuit issued to Mecum Auctions.
The farmer's GT only has 625 miles on it, and considering how much it has been bounced around, here's hoping it finds its forever garage, soon.

Q: Zend_Db_Adapater_Oracle and "UPPER" problem Following problem:
Table with 1000 000 Records
If i use the following query with Zend_Db_Adapter_Oracle:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM XYZ WHERE (UPPER(ATTRIBUTE)='XXX') AND UPPER(OBJECT)='XX'

I takes a round 15sec.
If i use OCI_CONNECT (native php) i takes 3 seconds.
If i remove (UPPER) from the query with the Zend Adapater its altough 3 seconds.
Does somone has an idea how to user upper and altough run an fast query? :-)

A: use a function based index: http://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/where-clause/functions/case-insensitive-search
however, that doesn't explain why it works better with a different connection type, sure you issue the same statement twice? or maybe caching effects?


Blue mussels (Mytilus Edulis) have a smooth, bluish-black shell. Wild blue mussels and tend to live in coastal estuaries or near shorelines. Wallaroo jetty is full of them.They often grow in clumps, attaching themselves to rocks or to each other by means of sticky filaments, sometimes referred to as a "beard". They are typically harvested by hand at low tide. In the North Atlantic, blue mussels are often grown using a variety of methods, but most methods share common traits, usually providing some means for mussels to anchor and live above the sea floor.
Blue mussels inhabit a wide range of estuarine and marine environments. They attach to rocks, jetties and piers and sometimes form dense beds on sandy flat substrates. They can be found from the low tide level to a depth of 10 metres, and they prefer sites with significant water movement. When collecting Mussels do not remove them from steel columns or bolts as they can become toxic.
Blue mussels have a minor spawning period in June, followed by a second, extended spawning period from August to January. Spawning occurs at water temperatures of 14°C. Blue mussels are "broadcast spawners" releasing eggs and sperm simultaneously into the water with fertilisation taking place in open water.
Did you know? he colour of the mussel meat varies slightly – the girls are pink and the boys are paler !!

British Airways and Iberia staff said they couldn't let at a number of Brits board a Madrid-bound plane, reportedly arguing when shown the UK and Spanish government guidelines that it "was not the advice they had received".
A number of UK expats hoping to return to their homes in Spain after New Year's celebrations have complained about having been stopped from boarding their flight at Heathrow reportedly on the grounds that their residency documents were no longer valid post-Brexit, Sky News reported.
Despite Spanish and British authorities having asserted that a green-coloured certificate of EU citizenship featuring a Spain-issued national identification number still applies for British citizens living in Spain, staff from two airlines – British Airways and Iberia – reportedly declined to allow a number of people to travel to Spain.
Patricia Moody, 69, was among seven British residents of Spain unable to board a Madrid-bound BA/Iberia flight from Heathrow on Saturday.
"Absolutely gutted. Gutted. Because my husband's not well. Yeah, it's spoilt it all", she complained.
"We're going home. Spain is home. We class it as home. And my husband is in urgent need of medical care, which we're running out of tablets, so we need to be home", Moody, who has been calling the town of Zurgena in Almeria her home for almost four years, fumed.
She told Sky News that she and her husband had spent £1,900 on the virus test, their subsequent trip to the airport, and new tickets after staff refused to allow them to board their first flight. However, even a later attempt to board a home-bound flight didn't yield any results.

Warning for French Fishermen? Five UK Warships Deployed to Channel After Brexit Deal Enters Force
Another person tweeted, as per the Express, that a different passenger was turned away on similar grounds, adding:
"When we showed staff the UK and Spanish government guidelines, allowing the green card, BA said that was not the advice they had received", the person reportedly said.
The news came as Spain banned all travel from the UK except for its nationals and British citizens with proven residency rights, amid warnings that a new mutated COVID-19 type has been spreading across Britain. Separately, Spain has been in the process of introducing a new system called TIE that would register and monitor permanent foreign residents, including from the UK
But as there has been a backlog due heavy pressure put on the system, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs ruled the "green certificate" would still be in place until 19 January, despite the Brexit transition period having expired.
British Airways and Iberia, both part of the IAG group, did not immediately respond to questions from the media.
What's in Post-Brexit Passport Regulations
British nationals already settled in Europe have the right to remain there, although restrictions apply to their travel to other EU countries.
EU citizens in the UK before 31 December are entitled to stay but campaigners warn they have only six months to make sure they are granted settled status or pre-settled status by the Home Office.
Those coming to Britain for the first time after 1 January will have to go through a new points-based system requiring a minimum salary of £25,600 for skilled workers and £20,480 for those with job offers in a shortage occupation or in possession of a relevant PhD.
British nationals travelling to Europe on holiday will be able to do so visa-free for 90 days in a 180-day period but will lose the previously automatic right to live and work in an EU country.

York launches abuse inquiry
It follows accusations made in The Times newspaper, and concern alleged abuse against a schoolboy in Australia in the 1960s and a Manchester Cathedral choirboy in the 1980s. Waddington died in 2007.
The former Archbishop of York, David Hope (now Lord Hope) was reportedly told of the allegations in 1999 and 2003. It is alleged he confronted Waddington and banned him from conducting services, but did not call the police.
Lord Hope ? who was Archbishop of York from 1995 to 2005 ? said he had acted in line with Church child protection policy of the time. He said in a statement, 'I strenuously deny…the suggestion that myself or my team at the time would have acted negligently in this or any other safeguarding matter.'
Dr Sentamu's office said the probe would look 'specifically into the issues surrounding the reports' and the findings would be made public.
In May it was also announced that the Church of England is to undertake a national audit of its entire child protection system.
The move is an initiative of the Church's House of Bishops which met last month and discussed the final report into safeguarding failures in the Chichester Diocese.
A statement from the House of Bishops read, 'Whilst supporting the continuing good work of diocesan child protection officers and the best practise of safeguarding guidelines currently in operation in the Church, there was also a recognition that there was no room for complacency particularly at a time when cases from past decades were being brought to light.'
The statement continues: 'These steps included the undertaking of an audit of safeguarding provision in every diocese, the review of risk assessment procedures and the review and development of national core materials for safeguarding training.'
This year three retired Anglican priests from Sussex have been jailed for sexual offences.
In February Robert Coles, 71, of Upperton Road, Eastbourne, pleaded guilty to 11 charges of abusing boys in West Sussex, Devon, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight. He was jailed for eight years.
In May Father Keith Wilkie Denford, 78, of Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, was jailed for 18 months at Hove Crown Court. He was found guilty at an earlier hearing of indecently assaulting two teenage boys.
Canon Gordon Rideout, 74, from East Sussex was found guilty of 36 separate sex offences by a jury at Lewes Crown Court for assaults committed in the 1960s and 1970s. He was sentenced to ten years in prison in May.

The metabolism of amino acids
Last Updated on Tue, 18 Sep 2018 | Nutrition and Metabolism
An adult has a requirement for a dietary intake of protein because there is continual oxidation of amino acids as a source of metabolic fuel and for gluconeogenesis in the fasting state. In the fed state, amino acids in excess of immediate requirements for protein synthesis are oxidized. Overall, for an adult in nitrogen balance, the total amount of amino acids being metabolized will be equal to the total intake of amino acids in dietary proteins.
Amino acids are also required for the synthesis of a variety of metabolic products, including:
purines and pyrimidines for nucleic acid synthesis;
haem, synthesized from glycine;
the catecholamine neurotransmitters, dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline, synthesized from tyrosine;
the thyroid hormones thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine, synthesized from tyrosine (section 11.15.3.3);
melanin, the pigment of skin and hair, synthesized from tyrosine;
the nicotinamide ring of the coenzymes NAD and NADP, synthesized from tryptophan (section 11.8.2);
the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), synthesized from tryptophan.
The neurotransmitter histamine, synthesized from histidine;
the neurotransmitter GABA (y-aminobutyrate) synthesized from glutamate (see Figure 5.19);
carnitine (section 5.5.1), synthesized from lysine and methionine;
creatine (section 3.2.3.1), synthesized from arginine, glycine and methionine;
the phospholipid bases ethanolamine and choline (section 4.2.1.3), synthesized from serine and methionine. Acetyl choline functions as a neurotransmitter;
taurine, synthesized from cysteine.
In general, the amounts of amino acids required for synthesis of these products are small compared with the requirement for maintenance of nitrogen balance and protein turnover.
9.3.1 METABOLISM OF THE AMINO NITROGEN
The initial step in the metabolism of amino acids is the removal of the amino group (—NH2), leaving the carbon skeleton of the amino acid. Chemically, these carbon skeletons are ketoacids (more correctly, they are oxo-acids). A ketoacid has a —C = O group in place of the HC—NH2 group of an amino acid; the metabolism of ketoacids is discussed in section 9.3.2.
9.3.1.1 Deamination
Some amino acids can be directly oxidized to their corresponding ketoacids, releasing ammonia: the process of deamination (Figure 9.7). There is a general amino acid oxidase which catalyses this reaction, but it has a low activity.
There is an active D-amino acid oxidase in the kidneys, which acts to deaminate, and hence detoxify, the small amounts of D-amino acids that arise from bacterial proteins. The ketoacids resulting from the action of D-amino acid oxidase on D-amino acids can undergo transamination (section 9.3.1.2) to yield the L-isomers. This means that, at least to a limited extent, D-amino acids can be isomerized and used for protein synthesis. Although there is evidence from experimental animals that D-isomers of (some of) the essential amino acids can be used to maintain nitrogen balance, there is little information on utilization of D-amino acids in human beings.
Four amino acids are deaminated by specific enzymes:
Figure 9.7 Deamination of amino acids.
Glycine is deaminated to its ketoacid, glyoxylic acid, and ammonium ions by glycine oxidase.
Glutamate is deaminated to ketoglutarate and ammonium ions by glutamate dehydrogenase.
Serine is deaminated and dehydrated to pyruvate by serine deaminase (sometimes called serine dehydratase).
Threonine is deaminated and dehydrated to oxobutyrate by threonine deaminase.
9.3.1.2 Transamination
Most amino acids are not deaminated, but undergo the process of transamination. The amino group of the amino acid is transferred onto the enzyme, leaving the ketoacid. In the second half of the reaction, the enzyme transfers the amino group onto an acceptor, which is a different ketoacid, so forming the amino acid corresponding to that ketoacid. The acceptor for the amino group at the active site of the enzyme is pyridoxal phosphate, the metabolically active coenzyme derived from vitamin B6 (section 11.9.2), forming pyridoxamine phosphate as an intermediate in the reaction. The reaction of transamination is shown in Figure 9.8, and the ketoacids corresponding to the amino acids in Table 9.9.
Transamination is a reversible reaction, so that if the ketoacid can be synthesized in the body, so can the amino acid. The essential amino acids (section 9.1.3) are those for which the only source of the ketoacid is the amino acid itself. Three of the ketoacids listed in Table 9.9 are common metabolic intermediates; they are the precursors of the three amino acids that can be considered to be completely dispensable, in that there is no requirement for them in the diet (section 9.1.3):
pyruvate — the ketoacid of alanine;
a-ketoglutarate — the ketoacid of glutamate;
oxaloacetate — the ketoacid of aspartate.
The reversibility of transamination has been exploited in the treatment of patients in renal failure. The traditional treatment was to provide them with a very low-protein diet, so as to minimize the total amount of urea that has to be excreted (section 9.3.1.4). However, they still have to be provided with the essential amino acids. If they are provided with the essential ketoacids, they can synthesize the corresponding essential amino acids by transamination, so reducing yet further their nitrogen burden. The only amino acid for which this is not possible is lysine — the ketoacid corresponding to lysine undergoes rapid non-enzymic condensation to pipecolic acid, which cannot be metabolized further.
If the acceptor ketoacid in a transamination reaction is a-ketoglutarate, then glutamate is formed, and glutamate can readily be oxidized back to a-ketoglutarate, catalysed by glutamate dehydrogenase, with the release of ammonia. Similarly, if the acceptor ketoacid is glyoxylate, then the product is glycine, which can be oxidized

back to glyoxylate and ammonia, catalysed by glycine oxidase. Thus, by means of a variety of transaminases, and using the reactions of glutamate dehydrogenase and glycine oxidase, all of the amino acids can, indirectly, be converted to their ketoacids and ammonia (Figure 9.9). Aspartate can also act as an intermediate in the indirect deamination of a variety of amino acids, as shown in Figure 9.12.
9.3.1.3 The metabolism of ammonia
The deamination of amino acids (and a number of other reactions in the body) results in the formation of ammonium ions. Ammonium is highly toxic. The normal plasma concentration is less than 50 ^mol/L; an increase to 80—100 ^mol/L (far too little to have any detectable effect on plasma pH) results in disturbance of consciousness, and in patients whose blood ammonium rises above about 200 ^mol/L ammonia intoxication leads to coma and convulsions, and may be fatal.

The ketoacid formed by transamination of lysine undergoes spontaneous cyclization.
At any time, the total amount of ammonium to be transported around the body, and eventually excreted, is greatly in excess of the toxic level. What happens is that, as it is formed, ammonium is metabolized, mainly by the formation of glutamate from a-ketoglutarate, and then glutamine from glutamate, in a reaction catalysed by glutamine synthetase, as shown in Figure 9.10. Glutamine is transported in the bloodstream to the liver and kidneys.
It is the formation of glutamate from a-ketoglutarate that explains the neurotoxicity of ammonium; as ammonium concentrations in the nervous system rise, the reaction of glutamate dehydrogenase depletes the mitochondrial pool of a-ketoglutarate, resulting in impairment of the activity of the citric acid cycle (section 5.4.4), and so impairing energy-yielding metabolism.
In the kidneys, some glutamine is hydrolysed to glutamate (which remains in the body) and ammonium, which is excreted in the urine to neutralize excess acid excretion.
9.3.1.4 The synthesis of urea
In the liver, ammonium arising from either the hydrolysis of glutamine or the reaction of adenosine deaminase (section 9.3.1.5) is the substrate for synthesis of urea, the main nitrogenous excretion product. The cyclic pathway for urea synthesis is shown
Figure 9.9 Transdeamination of amino acids — transamination linked to oxidative deamination.
Figure 9.10 The synthesis of glutamate andglutamine from ammonium, and hydrolysis of glutamine by glutaminase.
in Figure 9.11. The key compound is ornithine, which acts as a carrier on which the molecule of urea is built up. At the end of the reaction sequence, urea is released by the hydrolysis of arginine, yielding ornithine to begin the cycle again. Some urea is retained in the distal renal tubules, where it has an important role in maintaining an osmotic gradient for the resorption of water.
The total amount of urea synthesized each day is several-fold higher than the amount that is excreted. Urea diffuses readily from the bloodstream into the large intestine, where it is hydrolysed by bacterial urease to carbon dioxide and ammonium. Much of the ammonium is reabsorbed and used in the liver for the synthesis of glutamate and glutamine, and then a variety of other nitrogenous compounds. Studies with 15N urea show that a significant amount of label is found in essential amino acids. This may reflect intestinal bacterial synthesis of amino acids, or it may reflect the reversibility of the transamination of essential amino acids.
The urea synthesis cycle is also the pathway for the synthesis of the amino acid arginine. Ornithine is synthesized from glutamate, and then undergoes the reactions shown in Figure 9.11 to form arginine. Although the whole pathway of urea synthesis occurs only in the liver, the sequence of reactions leading to the formation of arginine also occurs in the kidneys, and the kidneys are the main source of arginine in the body.
The precursor for ornithine synthesis is N-acetylglutamate, which is also an obligatory activator of carbamyl phosphate synthetase. This provides a regulatory mechanism — if N-acetylglutamate is not available for ornithine synthesis (and hence there would be impaired activity of the urea synthesis cycle), then ammonium is not incorporated into carbamyl phosphate. This can be a cause of hyperammonaemia in a variety of metabolic disturbances that lead to either a lack of acetyl CoA for N-acetyl glutamate synthesis or an accumulation of propionyl CoA, which is a poor substrate for, and hence an inhibitor of, N-acetylglutamate synthetase.
9.3.1.5 Incorporation of nitrogen in biosynthesis
Amino acids are the only significant source of nitrogen for synthesis of nitrogenous compounds such as haem, purines and pyrimidines. Three amino acids are especially important as nitrogen donors:
Glycine is incorporated intact into purines, haem and other porphyrins, and creatine (section 3.2.3.1).
Glutamine; the amide nitrogen is transferred in an ATP-dependent reaction, replacing an oxo-group in the acceptor with an amino group.
Aspartate undergoes an ATP- or GTP-dependent condensation reaction with an oxo-group, followed by cleavage to release fumarate.
As shown in Figure 9.12, reactions in which aspartate acts as a nitrogen donor in this way result in a net gain of ATP, as the fumarate is hydrated to malate, then oxidized to oxaloacetate, which is then available to undergo transamination to aspartate.
Figure 9.11 The synthesis of urea.
Figure 9.12 The role of aspartate as a nitrogen donor in synthetic reactions, and of adenosine deaminase as a source of ammonium ions.
Adenosine deaminase converts adenosine monophosphate back to inosine monophosphate, liberating ammonia. This sequence of reactions thus provides a pathway for the deamination of a variety of amino acids, linked to transamination, similar to those shown in Figure 9.9 for transamination linked to glutamate dehydrogenase or glycine oxidase.
9.3.2 The metabolism of amino acid carbon skeletons
Acetyl CoA and acetoacetate arising from the carbon skeletons of amino acids may be used for fatty acid synthesis (section 5.6.1) or be oxidized as metabolic fuel, but cannot be utilized for the synthesis of glucose (gluconeogenesis; section 5.7). Amino acids that yield acetyl CoA or acetoacetate are termed ketogenic.
By contrast, those amino acids that yield intermediates that can be used for gluconeogenesis are termed glucogenic. As shown in Table 9.10, only two amino acids are purely ketogenic: leucine and lysine. Three others yield both glucogenic fragments and either acetyl CoA or acetoacetate: tryptophan, isoleucine and phenylalanine.
The principal substrate for gluconeogenesis is oxaloacetate, which undergoes the reaction catalysed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase to yield phos-phoenolpyruvate, as shown in Figure 5.31. The onward metabolism of phosphoenolpyruvate to glucose is essentially the reverse of glycolysis shown in Figure 5.10.
The points of entry of amino acid carbon skeletons into central metabolic pathways are shown in Figure 5.20. Those that give rise to ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, fumarate or oxaloacetate can be regarded as directly increasing the tissue pool of citric acid cycle intermediates, and hence permitting the withdrawal of oxaloacetate for gluconeogenesis.
Those amino acids that give rise to pyruvate also increase the tissue pool of oxaloacetate, as pyruvate is carboxylated to oxaloacetate in the reaction catalysed by pyruvate carboxylase (section 5.7).
Gluconeogenesis is an important fate of amino acid carbon skeletons in the fasting state, when the metabolic imperative is to maintain a supply of glucose for the central nervous system and red blood cells. However, in the fed state the carbon skeletons of

Q: Qual a diferença entre usar uma div e React.Fragment? Estou estudando React mais a fundo e em um dos cursos que estou acompanhando é citado o uso do <React.Fragment> para renderizar vários elementos de uma vez.
Normalmente nos meus componentes eu utilizo uma
:

Olá mundo

Até logo

Mas vi que também é possível com:
<React.Fragment>

Olá mundo

Até logo

</React.Fragment>

Quais as vantagens de se utilizar o <React.Fragment> em comparação com uma
?
Em quais casos é apropriado utilizar a
 e em quais casos devo utilizar o Fragment?

A: Como você deve saber, o JSX é um mero açúcar sintático. Não faz parte da especificação do ECMAScript. Assim, quando compilado, o JSX se torna algo mais ou menos assim:
React.createElement(component, props, ...children);

Portanto, agora entendemos a necessidade de só se retornar um elemento React por componente. Isto é válido, já que retorna somente um elemento:
function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      Foo
      Bar
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}

Contudo, este outro exemplo já não é válido, já que um componente não pode retornar mais de dois elementos:
function MyComponent() {
  // ❗ Errado!
  return (
    Foo
    Bar
  );
}

Desse modo, se você precisar retornar mais de dois elementos em um mesmo nível, o React obriga-o a envolvê-los em um único componente. Anteriormente à introdução dos fragmentos, você deveria utilizar uma tag do HTML ou algum outro componente genérico, o que nem sempre era ideal, já que seria inserido mais um elemento HTML no DOM, podendo inclusive afetar a acessibilidade ou dificultar a componentização tão importante para o React.
A documentação sobre fragmentos explica essas motivações com um pouco mais de aprofundamento.

Quais as vantagens de se utilizar o <React.Fragment> em comparação com uma
?

Conforme colocado acima, a principal vantagem de se utilizar um fragmento é o fato de você poder retornar múltiplos elementos a um mesmo nível sem necessariamente ter que envolvê-los em algum componente que irá renderizar algum nó no DOM.
Por exemplo, no trecho abaixo, uma
 será renderizada:

function MyComponent() {
  return (

      Foo
      Bar

  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.body);

Mas neste outro exemplo, nenhuma outra tag além de strong e span serão inseridas no DOM, já que um fragmento foi utilizado:

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      Foo
      Bar
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.body);

Em quais casos é apropriado utilizar a
 e em quais casos devo utilizar o Fragment?

Utilize a div — ou qualquer outro componente que irá renderizar algo na árvore do DOM — quando você quiser que isso aconteça. Se você não quiser que o componente que "envolve" seja renderizado no DOM, utilize um fragmento.
