Der Strand erstreckt sich nach und nach - Korallen kostenlos - in den blauen Wasser. Weitere Offshore sind Riffe, die zum Angeln, Tauchen perfekt sind.
Dieses Haus bietet Platz für vier, und hat zwei Schlafzimmer mit Kingsize-Betten und ein Bad. Bettwäsche und Handtücher werden gestellt.
Die voll ausgestattete Küche verfügt über eine Mikrowelle, Mixer, Toaster, Kaffeemaschine. und Waschmaschine. Das Wohnzimmer hat einen Kamin, Radio, CD.

Im Lieferumfang des Hauses sind zwei Kajaks, perfekt für den Knochenfischen in unserem Bach zu nehmen, Meeresschildkröten beobachten und Schnorcheln.
Eines der Dinge, die Cat Island ist bekannt für die ist es Knochenfischen. Do not Miss It !!
Unser 2006 Ford Escape ist für Miete der Insel blaue Löcher, Seeglas Erkundungen und historischen Strukturen zu erkunden.
Wir haben eine große cabana für jene Zeiten, direkt am Strand gelegen, wenn Sie die Hitze zu entkommen wollen. Ein perfekter Ort für die Kinder zu beobachten oder die untergehende Sonne zu beobachten.
Dies ist ein ideales Urlaubsziel für Paare oder Familien.
We loved this place. It was as advertised and we were not disappointed. It was private and the right size house. Beach out back was clean with good sand. Not rocky. Really a nice beach. We used the kayaks extensively. I took the kayak up a ways to the left and found several small isolated beaches that were very nice. There are floaties in the small shed. Fun to float around on the beach. Nice private cabana at the beach too.
The car was an adventure, but it didn't leave us stranded. There are some tricks to it so have the caretaker show you how to use the wipers. Cat island was just what we were looking for. If we come back to Cat we will certainly consider this house again.
Nous connaissions déjà très bien Cat Island mais avons été enchantés par cette agréable maison. Elle possède une âme, bien entretenue et propre. Une situation de rêve sur la plage mais protégée par de magnifiques cocotiers.
Trevor le caretaker est quelqu'un de sérieux, très aimable et dévoué.
La voiture fournie est un exceptionnel bonus car elle permet de faire les courses et de tout visiter. Nous en avons pris soin !
Nous pensons avoir trouvé notre "pied à terre" sur Cat Island et tous nos remerciements vont aux propriétaires.
I have hesitated writing a review because i don't want this place over run with people. The house was better than expected, it has everything one needs. It is set back from the beach just far enough for privacy but it is an easy walk to the beach. The deck is very large and only has a few steps to the sand. The owners are great and the caretaker Trevor will come if you need something but will never bother you. The people of Cat Island are the most engaging and kind people i have met since growing up on a farm in Iowa. They will help you find what you need, and in the 2 weeks we were on Cat no one asked us to buy anything or heckled us like other islands. I have been to 26 islands in the Carribean and the beach rates at the top. You can be on the beach all day and never see another person. Places like Shangri-la are rare in these times. This was the most relaxed and at ease i have been for years. If you come to Cat you need to understand it does not have the big night life casinos and 4 star hotels, it will rejvenate your soul if you just slow down and take it all in. Also it does have the basic supplies, but it is a good idea to bring some meat and a few supplies yourself. When you go exploring you will want to get back to Shangri-La because it is the best spot. Five of us stayed in the house the first week with no problem. If you come looking for treasure you will find it in the people of Cat Island!
We have visited beaches from Australia to the Seychelles and many points in between, but Shangri-La on Cat Island remains our absolute favorite beach vacation in the world. Once again, we had this beautiful and pristine beach to ourselves for our entire two week stay. We have stayed at Shangri-La at least sixteen times over the past sixteen years, and we've been the only two people on the beach on all but two of our visits. To say we love this place is an understatement. The house is always very clean, in perfect condition and is extremely comfortable. The people on Cat Island are the most friendly, helpful and happy people we have ever met. This is a true escape from the world, and when you must leave the island, you will be very relaxed and rejuvenated. (Although we're also very sad because we don't want to leave!) Ginny and Richie are such wonderful people to deal with, and we cannot recommend this very special place highly enough.
We love this beach house and keep returning -- our 16th time just this past June. The white sandy beach is at least 1/3 mile long and we spent most of the time in the water. We were the only ones on the beach the whole week long.
The house is immaculate and the whole property is well-taken care of.
You will find everything you need to use in the kitchen.
We bought conch and grouper from a local fisherman. The people are so friendly and helpful! If you want casinos, fancy restaurants, loud music, Facebook, and other forms of virtual happiness, you need to go to a different island. Otherwise, this rental is truly paradise!
My husband, two adult sons and I spent the second week of Feb. at ShangriLa. From the time I first contacted Ginny and Rich about the possibility of renting, they have been wonderful to deal with. Ginny told me alot about the Island so I had a good idea of what to expect. We flew into Nassau on Friday and then took Sky Bahamas to Cat on Saturday. Trevor picked us up at the airport and drove us to the house. Quite honestly I wasn't sure what to expect because so many houses on the island are in really bad shape. But after the trip back the long lane we were so impressed with how lovely the house really is. We've stayed in several tropical vacation spots, but I've got to say that the first view from the patio is absolutely breathtaking! Although the pictures on this website are beautiful, they don't really do the property justice. The beach is pristine and pretty much private. My husband spent most of his week under the cabana reading, and I spent most of my week in a lounge chair by the water. The sons had never been to the Caribbean and were honestly speechless at it's beauty. Eric, Trevor's son, brought them snorkeling equipment and they used the neighbor's kayaks every day.The house is lovely and homey. There are no ceilings in the rooms, so be warned if you're traveling with a snorer(like our son). Luckily I took ear plugs. You'll need things like laundry soap, dish soap, coffee and filters,paper towels and toilet paper. It's really high on the island so you might want to bring with you.Several people told us they checked a cooler w/frozen food, which was a good idea. We did a few days of sightseeing but mostly just enjoyed our own beach. We bought steaks at King's Meats and grilled out one night. We ate at Yardy's several times.Rev. Johnson stopped 1st day selling fruit and veggies off his truck. Good but expensive. We got to watch the Super Bowl at the house on their satellite TV - way to go, Packers!! - but I think that was just about the only time the TV was on all week. Loved the CD collection, tho. Weather was mid 80's and sunny all week, which we were told was unusual for Feb. Sand fleas were viscious, but I heard they were bad all over the island, so it wasn't just at our place. Please be aware - Cat Island is very, very rustic and undeveloped, which appealed to us. We hope to be able to return very soon. Thanks so much to Ginny, Rich, Trevor, Eric and everyone else who contributed to making our vacation wonderful.

WEST BROMWICH (AFP) – Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful Harry Kane (AFP photo below) will remain at Tottenham for "a long time" after the forward reached 20 goals for the season with a brace in the 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
Kane's double and another sublime Christian Eriksen free-kick helped Spurs dominate at the Hawthorns on Saturday as they moved within two points of fourth-placed Southampton, who play Swansea on Sunday.
Inflicting a first defeat on recently appointed Albion manager Tony Pulis capped a perfect week for Spurs after they had sealed a League Cup final date with Chelsea on Wednesday.
Kane, 21, has been widely tipped to sign a new and improved contract in the coming days and, while Tottenham manager Pochettino remained tight-lipped on that development, he made it clear he believes Kane's long-term future lies at White Hart Lane.
"This is the club's and the player's decision," he said. "This is our business but Harry wants to stay at Tottenham and Tottenham want Harry to stay a long time with us.
"It (the brace) is good for him and he is good for the team, his was a great performance, and whenever a striker scores goals it is good for the team.
"My focus is always that a player can improve — he is young and all players need to show that they want to improve.
"You can never stop your improvement but it was not only him — all the players showed character and this was the challenge to them when we arrived, to start to show character in this way. It is what we have wanted from the beginning."

Cars – Sedans – 2014 Ratings
Posted by Canstar Blue November 5th 2014
You are viewing the archived 2014 ratings for sedans. Go to the current ratings for sedan cars.
In the market for a new sedan? Compare some of the best sedan brands using our car customer satisfaction ratings.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Canstar Blue research finalised and published in 2014.
Sedans are fairly popular in Australia, most likely because we have such large roads to accommodate them, longer driving distances suited for their bigger engines, and a great selection of available models. In the last few years, several noteworthy sedans have made their mark:
- Ford Falcon
- Holden Commodore
- Hyundai Sonata
- Toyota Camry
- Mitsubishi Lancer
- Honda Accord
- Mazda 6
…And countless others. In our latest survey of new car owners, we asked those who had purchased a sedan in the last few years what they thought of their purchase. All the brands you see above made it into our final results, with Mitsubishi emerging in front.
Congratulations to Mitsubishi for achieving our Most Satisfied Customers Award – Sedans, 2014. So what do Mitsubishi offer to its customers?
- Mirage: a compact sedan that packs in plenty of features into a (relatively speaking) budget package.
- Lancer: a well-known small car name in many circles, the Lancer has been roaming Australian roads for more than 20 years. Additionally, the frame and stylings of this car inspired…
- Lancer Ralliart: the sports variant of the Lancer. Its maximum engine power improves on the standard model – from 110kW to 177kW. However, this doesn't come close to matching…
- Lancer Evolution: the racing variant of the Lancer. It has a 217kW MIVEC engine, six speed transmission, and is styled to look positively stunning.
It's plain to all that Mitsubishi certainly cater to a wide variety of drivers. If you're after something simple, you'd probably opt for the Mirage. If you were a consummate petrol-head, however, you might instead be tempted by the Ralliart or Evo'. In any case, Mitsubishi has you covered in a number of areas.
Mitsubishi achieved five stars for overall satisfaction, value for money, point of sale service, reliability, and performance. It also received a three star rating for after sales service.
About this research
Canstar Blue commissioned Colmar Brunton to survey 5,000 Australian drivers across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have bought a brand new sedan from a dealership in the last three years – in this case, 570 Australians.
Each brand must have received at least 30 responses in order to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey.

I am a PhD Candidate and Lecturer at the University of New Hampshire, and have previously studied and taught at the University of Copenhagen. I was also a member of the 2012 INET Young Scholar Initiative. My PhD Thesis uses survey data on traders' actual exchange rate forecasts to better understand their expectations and risk behavior. I compare the traditional models of risk based on volatility with a new Imperfect Knowledge Economics (IKE) model which instead connects risk to the departure of prices from benchmark values (such as Purchasing Power Parity). I find robust support for the IKE model in a Cointegrated VAR analysis. I am also able to detect an effect of volatility, but only once controlling for this effect of how far the exchange rate has moved away from PPP. This suggests that the difficulty in the literature to find an effect of volatility on the premium was in part an omitted variable bias. I have also conducted research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on the effects of environmental policies on clean-technology patenting and employment.

Chapter 3- Confrontation
"You ruined your reputation, Envy."
The muscular, topless eight year old sitting on his bed looked up at his older, stronger brother in confusion. "Ruined it?" he repeated innocently.
"Don't play dumb, bro. As if people didn't expect it enough from you starting The Boys' Club – now with that speech you gave today you're practically announcing to the world you're gay."
Envy stared intently at the ground at Itami's remark.
Itami smirked to himself when he saw his brother's defeat for that brief moment, but was soon taken back when he stood tall and got up to him face to face.
"I am NOT gay," Envy told him. "Although, I will admit I was saying what I felt was the truth, and what should be taken seriously."
The two stared at each other for what seemed like forever. And just when Envy was about to dismiss the argument...
"...I saw you flirting with the new kid this morning."
It was late in the afternoon – Hitan, Chishio, and Misery were all gathered in Misery's dorm wearing their comfortable, casual clothing instead of their uniforms for school hours. Hitan was lying down on the floor wearing a blue polo, faded grey jeans as well as a gay pride wristband, grasping a graphic novel while having a stick of pocky in his mouth. Chishio was propped up against the wall wearing a traditional dark grey samurai kimono, lost in thought. And Misery was wearing a white buttoned up shirt with black pants, sitting on the bed.
"So, tell me again, who is this Envy guy? Really?" Misery spoke up. Hitan put down the graphic novel and took the pocky stick out of his mouth.
"He's complicated, Miz-chan. One moment he could be a classy Casanova, the next he could be bouncing off the walls. And there are times when he's just plain serious. Then again, there are a lot of other kids like that in the orphanage as well – I suppose it comes from us not having a real family and instead having to lie with each other," he explained.
"Why has he been acting so nice to me since I got here? And in class today, with the lesson about equality in the reference of love when he gave that speech, did he really mean that?"
Hitan smiled, "You certainly ask a lot of questions for someone so young."
Misery looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry," he apologized. The brown haired six year old kneeled down in front of him and lifted his chin so he was looking up.
He grinned and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about – being curious is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, when I first arrived here with Chishio we were both just as curious, but we know we had each other to help cope in the confusion of things. And now you've got us, so we can help you!" The blind boy smiled slightly back at him, feeling a bit more encouraged now.
"You're a good friend...Hitan-chan."
Hitan's face brightened. "We're really friends now?? Arigatō, Miz-chan, you're so cool!" He then wrapped his arms around him in a tight embrace. Their moment of joy lasted about a minute or two before they were interrupted by a knock heard on the door. Both of the young boys turned their heads to the entrance and watched as Chishio voluntarily open the door and bow to the person entering.
"It's Envy-kun, he would like to know if it's okay to come in," he told Misery and Hitan. Hesitating, the two paused briefly and looked at each other before replying to Chishio with an approving nod. "Very well." He then stepped aside, allowing Envy to step inside the dorm.
Hitan suddenly perked up. "Envy-chan!!!" he greeted him with a friendly hug around the waist. Envy patted his head and tried wriggling away from him.
"Hey there, Hitan," he responded awkwardly.
"Oops, teehee, excuse me," Hitan then let go of his grasp on Envy and stepped back, "How ironic, we were just talking about you."
Almost instantly, Envy focused his gaze on Misery. "Oh were you?' He walked over to the small child. Hearing the sound of his footsteps getting increasingly closer, Misery prepared himself for whatever contact the intimidating blue haired boy would make.
At last, making sure not to startle him, Envy gently sat himself down next to the blind boy on the bed and wrapped on arm around his shoulders; Misery couldn't help but to instinctively flinch. This caused Envy to smirk; he then turned his attention back to Chishio and Hitan. "The two of you wouldn't mind if I had a little alone time with this black haired beauty would you?" he mused.
Hitan blinked twice before smiling. "Not at all, you two have fun!" he chuckled. And with that, he looked up at Chishio, grabbed his hand tightly and together the duo made their exit out of the room - Misery and Envy were left alone, no longer anticipating future interruptions.
"Hitan!.."Misery desperately tried calling out. But by then he was already too late, and at this time, Envy's hand was on his knee. Misery gulped. "Envy-senpai?.."
The older boy lightly put a finger to the younger one's pale, cold, yet soft and delicate lips. "Listen, I only came here to talk. But don't worry...I won't do anything to harm you or make you feel uncomfortable. I just would like to be a friend – I wanna talk about what happened earlier today."...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Hitan had his ear pressed against the door, trying to hear the conversation going on in the other room.
"Is this really necessary, Hitan? After all, Envy did tell you they required privacy," Chishio lectured him, wanting nothing to do with the situation. Hitan smiled innocently at him, turning his attention away from the door for a moment.
"Aw, c'mon, Chishi-chan, it's not how you think it is. I'm just not sure if I trust Envy-tama being alone with a new guy who's half his age," he responded simply.
"Well,you're more than half my age, yet you find it completely safe being around me."
Hitan's innocent smile quickly turned into a sly grin. "That's only because when we were orphaned, Auntie told you specifically to take care of me or she'd have your head – because you're my older, more responsible cousin," he reminded him, "but you know you love me as much as I love you anyway so you really shouldn't be talking."
Chishio rolled his eyes. Then, before returning his attention back to the door, Hitan said with added youth and cuteness, "I love you, Chishi-chan, and don't you forget it."
Chishio raised an eyebrow and hesitated. After a second or two, his strong sense of demeanor seemed to brighten up even at the slightest to where he actually smiled.
"I won't, Hitan. I love you, too."

Nanoporous layered oxide materials and membranes for gas separations
Kim, Wun-Gwi
MetadataShow full item record
The overall focus of this thesis is on the development and understanding of nanoporous layered silicates and membranes, particularly for potential applications in gas separations. Nanoporous layered materials are a rapidly growing area of interest, and include materials such as layered zeolites, porous layered oxides, layered aluminophosphates, and porous graphenes. They possess unique transport properties that may be advantageous for membrane and thin film applications. These materials also have very different chemistry from 3-D porous materials due to the existence of a large, chemically active, external surface area. This feature also necessitates the development of innovative strategies to process these materials into membranes and thin films with high performance.

Trading plan for Sep. 19
CAD: Core CPI & Wholesale Sales (12:30 GMT)
The disappointing TLTRO didn't trigger a sizeable decline in EUR/USD. The European banks applied only for 82.6B euro in loans from the ECB, while the market expected a reading above 150B euro. Still, markets are rather calm: the euro zone's banks are under stress tests the results of which will be released by the end of October, so banks probably don't want additional burden. Moreover, it's only the first TLTRO, and there will be other ones in future. On Friday the market will be trading according to the result of the Scottish referendum. "Yes"-vote will be very negative for euro, while "no"-vote will support EUR/USD. Slightly better current account figures are expected in the euro area, though the economic calendar is rather empty. Recovery may take the pair to $1.2950 (base scenario). However, in general the fundamentals for euro still look weak compared with those for USD. The target remains at $1.2800/1.2790, and we expect to see it in the medium term.
British pound was the strongest currency of the day as markets are discounting the "No" campaign to prevail in the Scottish vote. The grade of uncertainty still remains high, however. Vote will finish at 21:00 GMT, while the results will be announced around 5:30 – 6:30 GMT. The moves will clearly be less volatile if Scotland decides to stay. Pound will be bought, but we forecast the $1.6600 area to limit the immediate recovery. The "Yes" victory will trigger a strong downward move as this will be a true shock for the market. The $1.6000 support will easily be broken, bearish target will switch to the $1.5720 area. It is strongly recommended to limit your risks with stop loss orders tonight – no matter are you long or short.
Japanese yen was the weakest currency with USD/JPY surging to 108.80. The pair is overbought, but bullish sentiment remains strong. The 110.60 mark is now in sight – this is the 2008 high. Pay attention to the JPY crosses: EUR/JPY surged above 140 yen, while GBP/JPY broke to a new 6-year high of 178, supported by the GBP bullishness.

This is a fantasy story that reminds me of some of Roald Dahl's writing. Mr and Mrs Brinkoff want their only son, Osbert, to be a genius. So they are thrilled when he gains a place at the Institute, which accepts only the cleverest children in the city.
Osbert's father had failed the entrance exam, so they are thrilled when he passes. He starts at the same time as Isabella, who becomes his friend and ally.
Their teacher, Mr Lomm, has a reputation for being very strict, but all is not as it seems in Mr Lomm's classroom. When he is dismissed from the school Osbert is determined to seek revenge, which he does in a very dramatic way.
This book is great fun to read; all the characters are unique and you find yourself willing Osbert to succeed in his mission. Because it is a fantasy, you won't feel guilty about liking a character who does terrible things.
The book is fairly predictable, but something happens at the end which will surprise you. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an amusing yet exciting story.

Book Talk: The dark doubts in the heart of a Mormon missionary
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters) - They're a familiar sight around the world, whether in northern Japan or southern Argentina: a pair of men in dark suits, with nameplates, often riding bicycles as they go about their job preaching the Mormon religion.
"Elders", Ryan McIlvain's debut novel, illuminates the lives of one such pair, American Elder McLeod and his Brazilian counterpart Elder Passos, through their frustrating daily round of knocking on doors and missionary work, the service that all adult Mormons must perform.
McIlvain, a former Mormon who went to Brazil on his mission, spoke about his book and basing fiction on his own life.
Q: How did this book get going?
A: It's something I know a lot about just by virtue of the fact that I was a Mormon missionary. More broadly, I thought it would be interesting to pay very close attention to the interior lives of two Mormon missionaries, people that we see almost exclusively from the outside ... They're so lonely, the pressures they face on a daily basis are so tremendous. Because of the nature of their work, they're seen as annoying at best and predatory at worst.
Q: Are a lot of the events in the book your own?
A: I gave some of my own experiences to McLeod and Passos, particularly mental experiences, to the extent that McLeod doubts and Passos feels a worldly longing for success. But the behavior themselves was where the fiction started to take over.
The experience of being a missionary is the experience of being a permanent foreigner, you wear this nametag and uniform that is meant to mark you out as different so you never feel that you can just blend in or have a lazy afternoon. You always feel on call and in fact, you are. Mormon missionaries are told to believe that they've received a call from God and that involves certain responsibilities. So instead of going to parties or football games or whatever your average 19 to 20-year-old does, they go out and preach the Gospel for two years. Continued...


text: Here is a simplified version of how the controlled hunt drawing system works: The procedure has been computerized since 1973 and was certified random by Boise State University professors in 1977. Every applicant has the same chance of drawing. Officials verify that applicants meet all of the eligibility requirements to draw a permit. Each application is then assigned a randomly generated number, which is then scrambled and coded before being drawn by the computer system. The computer, located in the state controller's office, selects the successful applicants from the entire application file of eligible applicants.When a group of people enter on the same application, the group is assigned a single application number, and the system will recognize only one application number. That means a group has the same chance of drawing as an individual.The controlled hunt drawing system processes all first choice hunts in the first round. The system then does a second drawing to fill any open hunts with second choice hunts. No person can draw a second choice before that hunt has been filled by first choice people.When residents and nonresidents enter on the same application, the chances of drawing are limited to the nonresident chances. Nonresidents are limited to up to 10 percent of the permits available in any individual controlled hunt. In a controlled hunt with 100 permits, for example, nonresidents can draw up to 10 permits. If, after drawing 90 applications, the computer draws an application and finds it includes a nonresident, it checks to see whether a permit is available for a nonresident. If 10 nonresidents already have drawn permits for that hunt, the computer simply goes to the next application.Hunters can improve their odds by doing a little homework. Using the odds and results from the previous year, found on the Idaho Fish and Game hunt planner at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov, hunters can find hunts with fewer applicants and better odds of drawing.

Chapter 8Mature
Chapter 8
Treasure everything that you imagine
Because everything you can imagine is real.
Elza and I watch as Xzenox leaps around the grassy clearing, attempting to catch an imaginary creature. He came back to his normal self when he awoke this morning; which was at four a.m., and he decided that there were moths in the room. There are footsteps behind us. "The roof aint gonna be easy to fix." Laughs Zasha. "Xzenox did a real number on it." After Xzenox had caught all of the moths, he had cut open a hole in the roof to 'set them free'. "You know, there was a place I used to go to when I was little." Elza said. "There was a small house there, abandoned. And on the hill across from it was a giant oak tree with a tree house in it. Maybe you'd like to go check it out? It's sure to be bigger and sturdier than this place. I mean, I know you've probably lived here for a while, but, I assure you, you'll like it." She grins. "It has a lake too."
Zasha is overcome with excitement "Where is it?"
"It's on a field not too far from here. We just have to get to the other side of this forest. Once we do you'll be able to see the oak tree and the lake." Elza replies.
"Well what are we waitin for? Let's grab some stuff and go!" Zasha skips inside the hole ridden shack, gathering up some things to take with us. Xzenox walks up beside me. "What's got her so excited?" he pauses then grins "Are we going somewhere? Where are we going? Will there be bandits who need slaying? Where are we going?"
Laughing, Elza replies "We are going to a house near a lake to see if you would like to live there instead of here." Xzenox tilts his head to the side. "So… the journey there…could be dangerous…right?"
"Who knows? There might be a whole clan of bandits in the forest." I say slyly. Xzenox gasps "Then we will be needing these!" He drags a bag from behind the shack, it rattles as he pulls it along. "This one is for you. Because it looks like you!" he pulls out a double bladed scythe from the bag. A zipper runs through the middle of the shaft, enabling the two blades to be pulled into two. "Where in hell did you get this?" I exclaim.
"I pillaged the bandit armoury." He laughs "They didn't need it. And they didn't need the rest of these either!" My jaw hangs open as a large pile of spears, bows, arrows, daggers, swords and axes forms before me. "You stole…all of this?" Xzenox looks down proudly on his pile of sharp objects. "Yup, every single blade. Neat hah?" Elza rummages through the pile and picks up the giant axe which she had been wielding when we found her. "Better safe than sorry." She mumbles. Does Elza even know how to use a heavy axe like that? Zasha surfaces from the shack with a bag full of supplies. "You guys ready yet let's go! Elza, lead the way!"
Elza had told us getting to the house would take about an hour. Zasha and I followed behind her while Xzenox darted from tree to tree, scouting for any bandits who came our way. The woodland path was covered in dying leaves, falling for the cold winter ahead. Wind whistled through the branches, showering us with their foliage. "Was it nice being able to go there? By the lake?" I ask.
"Ah, yes it was. It was the best place to go in the summer; you could cool off in the lake and swim around for hours. Usually I went there to hide from the world. I'd climb up to the tree house and read all kinds of books. It was very nice." Elza's gaze seemed to wander off, deep in thought. She was lucky, to have such a nice childhood. Then again all humans seemed to have an easy life. Nobody had reason to hate you, everyone respected you and nobody left you for dead. Zasha had been quiet for most of the way. She seemed so intent on getting to this dream place that Elza spoke of. We all were really. We needed a place where we could relax. Ahead I could see Xzenox running back towards us, worry on his face. "There is a scarily big tree and I don't know if I can trust it." His eyes shoot from corner to corner as if looking for monsters who worked for the tree. "Its fine Xzenox, that's the tree I was talking about. We have arrived!" Elza announces. Xzenox spins around.
"Oh, well in that case… woo!" Xzenox leaps forward and off down the hill. "He's a weirdo." I laugh. It isn't long before we hear him as he rolls down the hill. A sudden "ouch" coming every few seconds. Zasha runs after him, being a lot more careful than Xzenox when walking down the hill. Elza and I follow. Arriving at the bottom of the hill, I see Zasha has dumped her gear and has jumped into the lake. "It's so nice in here! Damien, come in!"
"No thanks I'm good just staying out here." I laugh. From behind me I hear swords clatter to the ground. Before I know it, Xzenox has shoved me into the icy cold water. "You'll regret that!" I yell grabbing onto his leg and pulling him in after me. After I pull him in, he doesn't come back up. Zasha is giggling like mad. "He's got my feet!" she yells. The next moment Xzenox bursts out of the water. "I am a water bandit~!" he growls. Zasha squeals and swims towards me.
"Save me brother!" she laughs, grabbing my shoulders and hiding behind me. "You'll regret doing that to my little sister water bandit!" I grin, remembering my other role. "For I am the evil kraken!" Xzenox raises an imaginary sword. "It's on." he says with a serious look on his face. As per usual in the next second he's laughing. He dives underwater and erupts before me. We wrestle in the cold water playfully while Zasha watches on gleefully from the side. Xzenox climbs onto my shoulders "I have conquered the mighty sea beas-" I flip him backwards into the water, cutting him short. He pops up again, snickering "Ok, maybe not.'
"Damien wins!" Zasha declares. "Good job big brother!" she jumps onto my back and hugs me. "This place is the best. Do you think we can stay here? I want to stay here forever."
"We haven't even seen the house yet though. Don't you want to see it before making a decision? Plus there's the tree house too." I point out. "Yeah, you're right. To the house we go!" Zasha speeds off to the edge of the water, leaping out and running to the main house. I get out too, followed by Xzenox who is shaking off all of the water. "I'll check out the tree house." He smirks "See if there are any bandits." I notice Elza off to the side. "Why didn't you join in? You missed out."
"It's ok. I was just fine watching…" her eyes looked at the house. "Zasha has gone to look around?" she asks.
"Yeah, she's already in love with the place. Think we could stay?" I look at Elza hopefully. "We'll see." She giggles. I find Zasha in a large room with paper screen doors which are covered in cherry blossoms. "They're so pretty! This is so much better than our other place. I hope we can stay here. I really, really want to!"
"I want to as well. I mean even Xzenox seems at home here. He has a lot more room to mess around." This place was a paradise. We could live here for years and years. In the background I can hear Xzenox yelling. I go outside to see what the problem is. I meet him at the bottom of the hill. "What's wrong? Bandits again?"
"Children." He snarls, staring into the distance. "There are very small… children." I laugh. He's either seeing things again or a couple of kids have been coming to this place just as Elza did. A familiar giggle sends chills down my spine. No. It can't be. They can't be here. Not here. Two little girls in dresses come sprinting towards us. They both shout in union "Did you miss us, Damien?" The twins had found out where I was, but how? I hear a scream and I snap around to see Elza holding the axe at Zasha's throat. "Big brother! Help me! Plea-"
"Stop your yapping kid or ill slit your throat." I stand shaking. What's happening? Why is this happening? Why?! "Lost for words, Damien?" Elza smirks. Lord Talson accompanied by Thomas Grenich appear behind her, and I can hear Xzenox as he fights off the twin terrors. Lord Talson speaks "Thought you could be free Damien? Well with the help of my friend here." He pats Thomas on the back, making him flinch. "You almost were. And without the help of yourfriend, I never would have been able to get you to come here." Elza smiles sympathetically. "I always did like you Damien. It's just, I'm sick of living a life as a poor seamstress. I need money. Money so I can live in comfort. And the great Lord Talson has offered me that…In return for me bringing you here." Zasha has tears running down from her turquoise eyes. I can feel darkness welling within me. "You're sick." I spit. "And to think I actually trusted you." I grin with tears in my eyes "But you know what? No human, is worth trusting. They all come behind you and stab you in the back!" Shadows surround me, my eyes begin to glow. Elza pushes the axe closer to Zasha's neck. "Calm yourself. You don't want me cutting your little sister's neck do you?" Lord Talson places his hand on Elza's back. "I don't want her dead either. I need her alive." Lord Talson traces Zasha's face with his finger. "Why don't we play a little game?" He stares down to me. "A game of come save the little girl from the clutches of a mad man." Chuckling he continues. "My two angels will take care of you and your…charming friend there… while we make off with her. Try anything though, and I will, hurt her. Your choice. Yours completely." I glance behind me, Xzenox is pinned to the ground with his own two swords gouged into his palms. Gracie sits on top of him, large white wings sprouting from her back. Lacie too has pure white wings, those of an angel. "They….They're actual angels?" I stutter.
"Oh so you can see that now? Haha! Me stabbing your eye out with that sacred blade must have given you something special. It's of no use to you in this situation though. It just proves to you that demons will always fall at the hand of God." He latches onto Zasha's bandaged arm. She grimaces. "Damien!" she screams. I try to run to her but Lacie glides before me, two sacred knives in her hands. Elza is the last to turn away. "It's the time spent with friends that counts." She remarks, following her corrupt leader. I attack Lacie, throwing all my shadows at her at once. She dodges each one of them as if I was throwing feathers. If only I could get to my scythe. Xzenox begins to growl. His teeth elongate and his whole body starts to change. The fox demon rips his swords from his paws and lunges at Gracie. "Ooh! A puppy!" she squeals, darting out of the way. Xzenox less than impressed with the remark lunges again, this time piercing her arm with his mighty jaws. "Pathetic demons." The twins giggle. Xzenox's voice is now deep with malice "I will hunt you down no matter what it takes. I will not give up, not even after death." He glares at the angels who are gliding happily above us. I see the opportunity to grab the scythe Xzenox had given to me. He said it was for slaying bandits, and slay bandits I shall. I bend my shadow, taking hold of the scythes hilt. It seems to resonate with my dark energy, making it seemingly stronger than before. Before the angels can react I split the scythe into two separate blades and send them spiralling to my targets. Both girls grimace as my blades cut through the tops of their now stained wings. They glide higher, angry and stubborn. "Killing us both now would accomplish nothing! Your friend is already far from here. If you want her back you'll play along with Daddy's game." The twins giggle together. "We'll see you again Damien~! And you as well puppy dog~!" Xzenox and I watch helplessly while the angels fly off to their master. And when it could all have been so perfect… perfect…

Weeding 101
It's time to win the war against weeds. Take back your lush lawn with these easy tips.
Attack Early
Getting weeds out of the garden at the start of the season, when they're most vulnerable, is a smart strategy for two reasons: It keeps annual weeds from forming seed heads and keeps perennial weeds from developing deeper roots.
The most important thing you can do is to prevent more seeds from developing. Here's why: Most weeds in your garden are annuals, and annual weeds are phenomenally prodigious seed producers. A single crabgrass plant, for example, can produce 100,000 seeds, according to Barbara Pleasant, author of The Gardener's Weed Book: Earth-Safe Controls. If you don't get rid of these intruders before they develop viable seeds, the number of foes you'll have to battle will increase every year, and you'll always be playing catch-up.

President Barack Obama May Ditch BlackBerry in Favor of Android Smartphone

Sender E-mail
Samsung and LG are the chosen hardware makers for testing
The U.S. government was once a huge customer for BlackBerry, but many agencies started using rival devices running operating systems from the likes of Apple and Google -- and now the president may switch as well.
According to
The Wall Street Journal
, the White House is testing Android-powered phones made by Samsung and LG. Apple's iPhone is reportedly not involved in the pilot.
The testing is in early stages, and it's not clear if President Barack Obama will actually switch from his modified BlackBerry. If he did, it would take months for the rollout to happen through the White House.
"We can confirm that the White House Communications Agency, consistent with the rest of the Department of Defense, is piloting and using a variety of mobile devices," said a Defense Department spokesman.
Samsung also verified that it's working with the government, without giving any specific details.
"We have seen strong interest from the government sector and are working closely with various agencies to deploy pilot programs," said a Samsung spokesman.
However, BlackBerry is trying to hold on to its government contract since the Canadian mobile company failed to keep hold of the consumer smartphone market -- which it now only has 0.6 percent of in North America.
[SOURCE: CrackBerry]
"For more than a decade, BlackBerry has been securing the U.S. government's mobile communications and only BlackBerry is designed to meet the high-security needs of U.S. and allied government agencies," said a BlackBerry spokeswoman.
But BlackBerry seems to continue losing government customers. For instance, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) ditched their BlackBerrys in May 2012 in favor of iPhones. Immigration and Customs Enforcement followed suit in September, and in October, the Defense Department left its BlackBerrys behind and chose to go with Android and Apple devices instead. Later in November of that year, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that it was dropping its BlackBerry smartphones for a new fleet of iPhone 5s.
This all happened after
a huge blackout
that occurred in October 2011. For four days, BlackBerry users from around the world completely lost their messaging, browsing and email services. These three features are key to any business (or consumer) user, and proved to be a huge mark on RIM's record. RIM blamed the service troubles on an extremely critical network failure during
a system upgrade
In March 2013, BlackBerry 10 (BB10) -- the company's latest mobile operating system --
failed to pass security requirements
for the UK government.
More recently,
the FBI said it was looking to dump BlackBerry
for Android-powered Samsung phones.
The situation is made worse with the company's recent financial losses. In
, the company reported a $4.4 billion USD loss and only shipped 1.9 million smartphones.
But BlackBerry CEO John Chen seems to stay in good spirits despite the current situation, cracking jokes about
selling BlackBerry
for the price Facebook paid for WhatsApp, and calling iPhone users
"wall huggers."
Lets hope that sense of humor can win BlackBerry some customers back -- namely the president.
The Wall Street Journal
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

The Glorious Appearing of Christ (2 of 10) by Stan Coffey
This content is part of a series.The Glorious Appearing of Christ (2 of 10)
Series: Restoring Your Passion for Life
Stan Coffey
Revelation 19:11-13
We have been studying a series on ''Restoring Your Passion For Life'' and today's lesson is entitled, ''Restoring Your Passion For His Appearing.'' I have in my hand the latest and last chapter of the Left Behind series. It is called, ''The Glorious Appearing.'' This is now available in most bookstores. And it is a wonderful, wonderful book, very, very encouraging to believers. When you read this book you will be so encouraged, if you are a Christian, about what awaits you when Christ comes again in His glorious appearing. And in the Left Behind series, Dr. LaHaye and Dr. Jenkins trace in a narrative form, the fictionalized characters as they make their way through the tribulation time, all the way through the great tribulation, through the time of Armageddon, and now to the glorious appearing. We are talking about the glorious appearing of Christ. I invite you to turn in your bibles to the book of Revelation.
Revelation 19:11-13 ''I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.''
Now the first thing that this passage tells us is the appearance of Christ. And you will notice, first of all, the descent of Christ. In Revelation 4:1, John is allowed to enter heaven. The door is open to heaven and John hears a voice that says come up and I will show you things that will be hereafter.
Again the door is open in heaven, but this time it is not open for John to enter, but this time it is open for Jesus to exit. This time the door of heaven is open for Jesus to return to earth, in power and great glory.
These two openin ...

One of the most time consuming business tasks is reviewing e-mail. Since e-mail is the primary source for sending business communications, the sheer volume of it can be overwhelming. When you can't find an e-mail, you waste time and the adage "time is money" is true for all businesses. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to control your e-mail and get back to business.
Organizing your email: action vs. reference
According to productivity specialist Sally McGhee, there are two types of e-mail: reference and action. Reference e-mails can be saved for later. Action e-mails contain information needed to complete an action, such as meeting dates. These e-mails should be transferred to your calendar or to-do list. If a reply is required, make the reply right away.
McGhee recommends that people set aside a scheduled time every day to review their e-mail. Set an appointment on your calendar and review without distractions. Decisions regarding some e-mail require focus which is difficult with phones ringing or people stopping by. McGhee admits this is tough to do at first, but once it becomes a habit, it takes less time to review the inbox.
Using flags
Personal productivity expert Peggy Duncan suggests flagging certain senders, such as your boss or sales reps you deal with regularly. When you periodically scan your e-mail during the day, you'll see those flags and be able to attend to them immediately.
The 4Ds of email organization
Both Duncan and McGhee agree that there are "4 Ds" to organizing e-mail:
- Delete It
- Do It
- Delegate It
- Defer It
These 4 steps can be used for any e-mail. Their consistent use will keep your mailbox organized and allow you to access saved information immediately.
1. Delete It.
Both experts admit that this is the most difficult step. Most people have the mistaken impression that they will need the information at some point so it must be kept. When deciding to delete you should ask yourself if the e-mail is meaningful to your current objectives. Can you find the information elsewhere? Will you refer to it in the next six (6) months? Is the information legally required to be retained? If you answer no, then delete.
2. Do It.
If you can respond in less than two (2) minutes, do it. Put the appointment on your calendar, and delete it.
3. Delegate It.
If it's not part of your job, forward it to the person it belongs to. Why keep something that's not yours?
4. Defer It.
According to McGhee, this is 20% of e-mail. When you defer e-mail, file it in meaningful categories. Rather than just having a file marked "accounting," create meaningful subfolders. If you recently went to a conference and have receipts and data from it, filing everything under accounting isn't the wisest choice. Try creating a folder for the seminar, or create subfolders in accounting for "travel invoices" and another under vendors under "vendor data." Just be sure you periodically check the information you've deferred. If you haven't used it in 6 months, return to step one.
Duncan recommends taking step 4 further by creating rules that will automatically move messages to specified folders based on the sender or key word in the subject line. Any e-mail received from a supplier can automatically be forwarded to a folder for that specific supplier. She also recommends setting e-mail security settings on high to help block spam.
By taking some simple steps and a little time, you can turn your unruly e-mail box that manages you into a smooth running system that you manage allowing you to spend time doing your job.

s the Bank of Japan poised to raise interest rates? The Japanese government last week raised its forecast for the country's 2006 economic growth to 2.1 per cent, adding to expectations that interest rates could increase for the first time in six years. The uncertainty is already unnerving investors in the Japanese stock market, who had hoped the roller-coaster ride of recent years was at last coming to an end. During 2005 and early 2006, investment professionals tipped Japan as a hot opportunity, with the economy finally turning the corner after two decades in the doldrums. But since April this year, the Nikkei 225 index of leading Japanese shares has fallen 14 per cent.
Despite these setbacks, analysts argue that the picture remains sound. The recent quarterly Tankan survey from Japan's central bank shows local companies plan to increase their investment at the fastest pace in almost 16 years, which suggest a significant improvement in business confidence among Japan's biggest manufacturers.
Ed Gaunt, the head of Japanese equities at fund manager Threadneedle, says an increase from zero per cent interest rates would have symbolic importance because it would be an official recognition that an 18-year period of deflation has ended. Gaunt thinks a small interest rate increase of 0.1 to 0.25 per cent is likely.
"Any interest-rate increase would not necessarily be because inflation is considered to be too high, which is normally the case," Gaunt says. "Rather it is important because it would mean the normalisation of the interest rate and economic cycle in Japan, where there are already plenty of firm signs that the economy is recovering."
Following years in the doldrums, companies are now leaner than in the past. Consequently, corporate profits are increasing sharply. For instance, in the fiscal year ending March 2006, the net profits of businesses in Japan were 39 per cent stronger than in the previous year, Gaunt says.
The labour market is also in good shape. He says the jobs-to-applicants ratio is now 1.07, indicating there are more jobs on offer than applicants. This compares to 0.61 in August 2000. The stronger labour market is resulting in falling unemployment (currently at an eight-year low of four per cent) and rising wages. Ultimately, this is leading to higher spending and a boost in consumer sentiment.
Anja Balfour, the head of Japanese equities at Axa Framlington, is similarly positive. Although there have been plenty of false dawns in the past, she is confident that this recovery is different because it is being driven by the domestic rather than export sectors.
Although the Japanese stock market has fallen more than others elsewhere in the world since April, when the recent jitters took hold, Balfour says it was a case of investors taking profits after a strong rally.
"The Japanese stock market went up further than others, so when it came to taking profits, there was more money to be taken off the table," she says. "The fundamental picture for Japan has not changed and I'm still very positive that we are at the early stages of a sustained recovery." She expects the domestic economy will benefit from the demand that has been building up in the market after years of weak investment.
Balfour points out that capital expenditure in Japan has lagged the rest of the world, leading to a situation where the average age of machinery in Japan is around 12 years, compared to six in the United States.
"That has resulted in pent-up demand for investment in Japan," she adds. "There was a recent announcement that Honda was going to build its first new factory in Japan in 30 years. Komatsu is building its first new plant for 11 years and Nippon Steel is building the first new steel plant in the country for 20 years."
Justin Modray, an independent financial adviser at Bestinvest, says privatisation and industry deregulation will also drive the Japanese economy in the future, as "Thatcher-like" reforms shift economic influence from the public to private sector. However, he warns that Japan is not a one-way bet and there are plenty of reasons to be cautious. For instance, the high level of public debt, coupled with a shrinking population means that consumption tax (similar to the UK's VAT) is likely to rise during 2007/2008, and there are concerns this could slow consumer spending.
A shrinking population also means a shrinking labour force, which could impact corporate profitability in the longer term as wages rise. Furthermore, manufacturing remains an important sector for Japan. If the feared slowdown in global demand does materialise, this would be bad news for Japan's exports. Some also fear that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates too quickly, which could impact on the profits of companies over the longer term.
Gaunt says that if interest rates do increase in the near future, the focus will then move to whether there will be subsequent hikes. He expects further increases to be very modest, with the Bank of Japan and Japanese politicians eager to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2000 when it tightened interest rates too quickly and derailed the recovery. He does not expect a modest increase to have a major impact on corporate profitability.
In fact, an increase could be a fillip for the stock market. The financial sector accounts for around 20 per cent of the Japanese stock market, and both Balfour and Gaunt expect the banks could benefit from being more profitable as a result of higher interest rates.
However, while Andrew Rose, the manager of the Schroder Tokyo fund, says the picture remains bright, most of the easy money has already been made, he thinks. He believes the period of strong overall earnings growthis now behind us. Therefore, companies will need to enhance shareholder value by other means, including the more efficient use of capital.
Paul Chesson, head of Japanese equities at Invesco Perpetual is even more cautious. His concern is events elsewhere in the world, particularly the US, where there are fears about growth and interest rates are rising.
Chesson says while all parts of the globe will be affected if there is a slow-down in growth, Japanese equities are more expensive than those in the rest of the world when considering their growth and earnings prospects. He is focusing on the defensive areas of the stock market, such as pharmaceuticals, railways and utilities.
The best funds for Japanese exposure
Investors with a moderate risk profile should have no more than five to 10 per cent of their portfolios invested in Japan, say independent financial advisers at Bestinvest and Chelsea Financial Services.
* Juliet Schooling, head of research at Chelsea, warns Japan is high-risk, so only invest if you are prepared for a bumpy ride.
* Justin Modray, an independent financial adviser at Bestinvest, says investors should consider funds that invest primarily in large companies.
"While this reduces the scope to benefit from increased domestic demand, it provides some insulation from the Japanese economy thanks to the globalised nature of these companies."
* Modray tips Martin Currie IF Japan and Schroder Tokyo, managed by Andrew Rose, as they are both run by experienced management teams.
* For higher-risk investors, JPM Japan, run by David Mitchinson, invests in smaller companies, which makes the fund more focused on domestic growth.
* For smaller companies exposure, Bestinvest recommends Legg Mason Japan Equity. Manager Hideo Shiozumi firmly believes in the structural change that is taking place. But this fund is very high risk so should only be held as a specialistholding, Modray says.
* Schooling also tips JPM Japan and Legg Mason Japan Equity funds as smaller-company focussed funds, along with recommending Axa Framlington Japan and Legal & General Japanese.

|Building the Impossible!
|Andrew Ryan
|August the 21st, 1945
Transcript: Of course, the buildings are being fabricated above the waves. But we will lower them on a lunette ring, submerged into the structure's steel frames. "So much steel!" you wonder. "How will we keep so large a purchase from the government?" Water is buoyant. We shall not frame Rapture in steel, but in aluminium. The government jackals may suspect me of building an air force -- but never a city…
Location: On a shelf inside the locked Control Room of the Service Bay.

A mislocalization of the Wrn mutant protein in the liver endoplasmic reticulum fraction increased oxidative stress in that cellular compartment. Vitamin C reversed this oxidative stress.
The deleterious effects of the helicase-deficient Wrn protein are mediated by the dysfunction of several cellular organelles.
Data suggest that, in the context of Wrn deficiency-related telomere dysfunction, loss of p16Ink4a function could prevent cells from senescence.
The FEN1 E359K germline mutation disrupts the FEN1-WRN interaction and FEN1 GEN activity, causing aneuploidy-associated cancers.
Studies show that in the context of Myc-associated tumorigenesis, loss of Wrn amplifies the DNA damage response, both in preneoplastic and neoplastic tissue, engaging activation of tumor suppressor pathways.
embryonic fibroblasts lacking a functional Wrn helicase (show DNA2 ELISA Kits) inhibited the immortalization of Safb1 (show SAFB ELISA Kits)-null cells. These results indicate that an intact Wrn protein is required for immortalization and tumorigenesis in Safb1 (show SAFB ELISA Kits)-null mice.
BCR/ABL-mediated stimulation of WRN modulates the efficiency and fidelity of major DSB repair mechanisms to protect leukemia cells from apoptosis and to facilitate genomic instability.
WRN has a role in processing specific types of homologous recombination intermediates as well as an important function in nonhomologous recombination
results demonstrate that WRN loss confers a strong cellular phenotype in early passage human - though not mouse - primary fibroblasts.
Genetic cooperation between this protein and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (show PARP1 ELISA Kits) prevent chromatid breaks, complex chromosomal rearrangements, and cancer in mice.
We found statistically significant association with AAO for three genes (WRN, NTN4 and LAMC3 (show LAMC3 ELISA Kits)) with common associated variants.
Finfings indicate a role for Werner syndrome helicase WRN as a modulator of DNA repair, replication, and recombination.
The WRN Cys1367Arg (T>C) polymorphism is not associated with overall cancer risk, although subgroup analyses suggested an association with breast cancer and overall cancer specifically in European populations. [meta-analysis]
The CC genotype of WRN rs1346044 may contribute to an increased risk and a premature onset of breast cancer.
Japanese subjects bearing at least one A allele of rs2230009 of the WRN gene are at a significantly higher risk of femoral fracture, possibly due to decreased bone density.
WRN prefers to act on DNA strand invasion intermediates in a manner that favours strand invasion and exchange.
we provide a proof of concept for applying the external guide sequence (EGS) approach in directing an RNase P RNA to efficiently cleave the WRN mRNA in cultured human cell lines.
Multiplex genetic testing of 90 cancer susceptibility genes disclosed a novel WRN frameshift mutation (p.N1370Tfs*23) in a mother and her 2 (show ERBB2 ELISA Kits) daughters with cancer and in the youngest unaffected daughter.
PARylation is involved in the recruitment of RECQL5 and WRN to laser-induced DNA damage and RECQL5 and WRN have differential responses to PARylated PARP1 and Poly(ADP-ribose).
WRN knockdown decreased the G(O):A-induced A:T --> C:G mutations, suggesting that WRN may enhance the mutations caused by G(O) in the nucleotide pool
This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily and the DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) subfamily of DNA and RNA helicases. DNA helicases are involved in many aspects of DNA metabolism, including transcription, replication, recombination, and repair. This protein contains a nuclear localization signal in the C-terminus and shows a predominant nucleolar localization. It possesses an intrinsic 3' to 5' DNA helicase activity, and is also a 3' to 5' exonuclease. Based on interactions between this protein and Ku70/80 heterodimer in DNA end processing, this protein may be involved in the repair of double strand DNA breaks. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging.
