Pcsk2 has been sequenced and characterized.
PCSK2 gene polymorphisms are associated with pleiotropic effects on various traits of glucose homeostasis and incident diabetes.
FAM20C (show FAM20C Antibodies) plays a role in 7B2 (show SCG5 Antibodies)-mediated proPC2 activation by phosphorylating residue Thr111; and that 7B2 (show SCG5 Antibodies) function is regulated by alternative splicing.
Cbx4 (show CBX4 Antibodies) is an independent prognostic factor for HCC (show FAM126A Antibodies) patients, and the patients with high Cbx4 (show CBX4 Antibodies) expression should receive postoperative TACE (show ADAM17 Antibodies) treatment to improve their survival
our study demonstrated that miR (show MLXIP Antibodies)-195 acts as a tumor suppressor by directly targeting CBX4 (show CBX4 Antibodies) in hepatocellular carcinoma
Role of Cbx4 in migration and metastasis of a metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Results show that Cbx4 overexpression increases the in vitro vessel formation of vascular endothelial cells in its SUMO interaction motifs-dependent manner.
The presence of CBX4-GFP in the same focus had a minor impact on BMI1 and RING1 recovery kinetics.
High cytoplasmic expression of CBX4 (show CBX4 Antibodies) is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.
our findings demonstrate that Cbx4 (show CBX4 Antibodies) plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis by governing HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A Antibodies) protein
in the processing of hypothalamic neuropeptides in huntington disease (show HTT Antibodies) may partially arise from decreased PC1/3 (show PCSK1 Antibodies) and PC2 (show KRT6B Antibodies) expressions.
variant of the PCSK2 gene was associated with reduced glucose-stimulated insulin (show INS Antibodies) secretion, but also with lower glucagon (show GCG Antibodies) levels, which could potentially counteract the effects of decreased insulin (show INS Antibodies) secretion on the risk of type 2 diabetes
PC1 (show PCSK1 Antibodies) and PC2 (show CBX4 Antibodies) are involved in the C-terminal processing of protachykinin peptides and suggest a major role in the maturation of the protachykinin-1 (show TAC1 Antibodies) protein
activation of the hypothalamic GPR40 (show FFAR1 Antibodies)/FFA1 signaling pathway may regulate beta-endorphin (show POMC Antibodies) release via PC2 (show CBX4 Antibodies), and regulate the endogenous pain control system
Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(-/-) mice with homozygous PKD2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(tg)-transgene alleles (Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(-/-);PKD2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(tg/tg (show CACNA1A Antibodies))) showed significant further amelioration of the cystic severity compared to that in Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(-/-) mice
Pkd1 (show PKD1 Antibodies) and Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies) have coordinate effects on osteoblast differentiation and opposite effects on adipogenesis, suggesting that Pkd1 (show PKD1 Antibodies) and Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies) signaling pathways can have independent effects on mesenchymal lineage commitment in bone
novel protein complex composed of Rabep1 (show RABEP1 Antibodies), GGA1 (show GGA1 Antibodies) and Arl3 is responsible for the sorting and targeting of the polycystin 1 (show PKD1 Antibodies) andpolycystin 2 to the cilium.
Verified the roles of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 2 in regulating IGF1 (show IGF1 Antibodies) and female sexual maturation, it also might be involved in the regulation of aging.
PKD2 (show PKD2 Antibodies) regulates directly and indirectly about 5% of the cytotoxic T-cell phosphoproteome.
The results of this study demonstrate that PC1 (show PCSK1 Antibodies) trafficking and expression require GPS (show NBEAL2 Antibodies) cleavage and PC2 (show CBX4 Antibodies) interaction, respectively, and provide a framework for functional assays to categorize the effects of missense mutations in polycystins.
In inner medullary collecting duct, flow, via polycystin-2 (show PKD2 Antibodies) and P2 receptors, engages Ca(2 (show CA2 Antibodies)+)-dependent signaling pathways that stimulate ET-1 (show EDN1 Antibodies) synthesis.
Pkd2 (show PKD2 Antibodies)(+/-) cardiomyocytes shift the beta adrenergic receptor pathway and have altered calcium handling, independent of desensitized calcium-contraction coupling.
Prohormone convertase PC2 expression is up-regulated in a cell-specific manner in bovine neuroendocrine ocular ciliary epithelium.
This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. These enzymes process latent precursor proteins into their biologically active products. The encoded protein plays a critical role in hormone biosynthesis by processing a variety of prohormones including proinsulin, proopiomelanocortin and proluteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may increase susceptibility to myocardial infarction and type 2 diabetes. This gene may also play a role in tumor development and progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Money can't buy:
Love will overcome any obstacle
You cannot defeat nature
Everyone needs to be loved
Sacrifice brings reward
Friendship requires sacrifice
Love is the worthiest of all pursuits
Crime Does not pay
It is a

love, hate, fear, friendship, hope, family, fate, loyalty, honesty….

Theme is the author's message!
Identifying theme in a work of literature
Who is the main character and what does he want?
What is preventing the main character from getting what he wants?
How does the main character end up at the conclusion? Is he successful? Is he Happy? Does he fail? Is he punished?

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) Crews using lasers are creating a three-dimensional digital scan of the four presidential faces and other features of the Mount Rushmore National Monument for historic documentation and preservation.
National Park Service spokesman Nav Singh said the 3-D modeling also will allow virtual tours of the monument.
"This has tremendous potential for education and it's really exciting stuff," he said. "We finally have a way to help children see what an 18-foot mouth or a 20-foot nose looks like from a bird's eye view."
PHOTO GALLERY: Reader photos of Mount Rushmore
Singh said the laser-scanning project at the granite monument began on May 8 and is slated to wrap up this weekend.
The work is being done by the National Park Service and CyArk, a nonprofit project of the Kacyra Family Foundation based in Orinda, Calif. The Scottish government is providing resources and technology to perform the 3-D laser documentation, Singh said.
The Kacyra Family Foundation was formed to foster humanitarian, cultural and scientific endeavors, and says it is committed to preserving world heritage. Ben Kacyra, who heads the foundation, immigrated from Iraq in 1964.
"Being an immigrant, the monument is a symbol that I cherish," he said. "It's a symbol for the U.S. and a symbol for the world."
The Scottish government also is providing resources and technology to perform the 3-D laser documentation, Singh said. It's part of the so-called the "Scottish 10," a project with a goal of scanning five historic sites in Scotland and five in other countries. Mount Rushmore is the first site outside Scotland to be laser-scanned, he said.
Singh said if the monument ever is damaged, the data would allow workers to make repairs to replicate the sculpture to the millimeter.
"It's the first time a colossal carving of this scale has ever been attempted to be digitally surveyed to the accuracy we're talking about here," he said.

They were recently discussing how to use more than $600 in proceeds they earned selling Girl Scout cookies. They wanted to do a fun outing as a troop and also do something to help other kids. They decided to give a batch of small toys to Phoenix Children's Hospital to cheer up young patients who might need a boost for their spirits. They bought more then $300 worth of toys and delivered them in person.

Rebels Bleed, the World Looks Away
The heart breaks for the freedom fighters of today when they begin with high ideals but end up begging for help to get the bigger guy off their backs.
One can almost feel the despair of Ahmad Jarba in his Nov. 19 op-ed "A Moment of Truth Looms for Syria." His call for international assistance for the rebels is clearly an admission that they didn't consider the cost of beginning a war against the Assad regime that even Mr. Jarba admits is "not a civil war. It is a revolution."
This shows that the rebels' faith in international assistance was more zeal than contemplation. Did they not recall the films of the Iranian woman bleeding to death in the street...

My name is Charlotte and i have revently graduated with a BA French and Business Management degree at the University of Manchester. Having studied the language at a degree level and having worked in France on two separate occasions has helped me to acquire an advanced level of French, which I am now keen to pass on to others. I obtained a distinction in my final year French spoken exam at university. Being of french origin and visiting my family in France on a regular basis has helped me to maintain my fluency in spoken French. I worked as an English Language Assistant in France for 9 months for my year abroad (as part of my degree) where i prepared and carried out English oral and grammar lessons in French primary schools. I have gained 3 A levels, including an A in french, and achieved an A* in my French GCSE taken a year in advance. I am focused, dedicated and enthusiatic, as well as being patient.
In 2012 i worked as an English Language Assistant in France for 9 months. I therefore prepared and carried out English oral and grammar lessons in a French primary school and tailored my behaviour and teaching techniques for different age groups, e.g. from teaching through games and song to teaching grammar. This enjoyable experience has made me seriously consider a future in education. In 2007 i worked as a receptionist for an after school French club, where i observed and occasionally assisted the teachers teaching french.
I will adapt my teaching methods according to the preferences and needs of each student. I aim to cover all of the areas that the student would like to concentrate on.

While you're out hustling at the stores today to buy gifts for that driver in your life, you might be impressed to see how the 1% lives.
The Robb Report, a journal aimed at the super-rich, is out with its annual "Ultimate Gift Guide." More like outrageous than ultimate, if you ask us. A couple of the 21 ideas involve cars:
Consider buying the package of two Bentleys, one new and one old, that highlight the "quintessential open-air driving experience for the definitive British motorcar enthusiast." You get a 1927 Bentley 6.5-liter Vanden Plas Sports Tourer and a made-to-order 2012 Bentley Continental GTC convertible, both for a mere $3.4 million. The deal comes with first-class airfare for two on British Airways to England, an exclusive visit to the fabled Bentley factory in Crewe, two nights of lodging at nearby Nunsmere Hall Hotel, and a one-night stay at London's Lanesborough Hotel.
Need a place to put all those expensive cars? How about a $7 million, 6,000 square-foot garage by Gary Dreier Designs. There is not only room for seven vehicles, but a wine room, humidor, home theater, driving simulators, a bar, and a hydraulic lift. Over the garage would be a furnished rooftop terrace with reflecting pool and display platform for one showcase automobile. Oh, but how to do you go about choosing? It's not easy.

"In the interior of a deceleration solid belongings market, on the rise seasoning rates and salaries that are not conformity gait beside standard of conscious increases, we have seen a swift proliferate in foreclosures nationwide," said David Nilssen, CEO of Guidant Financial GroupTM. "This is not grave news; still it does initiate opportunities for discernment investors superficial to come by properties at downwards bazaar worth."

To increase engagement Push Notification is widely used in mobile native apps. Though seems extremely useful feature it is a bit tricky to implement it. Configuring your own server, creating p12 files are some of the steps which makes things little difficult for developers.
We have also been receiving a few queries in the last few days on configuring push notification service on an iOS device using App42. So, we decided to put down the steps here for iOS developers for their benefit and ready reference.
Steps involved in configuring the push notification service:
1. First you have to create a certificate from iOS Dev Center, Here is a step by step tutorial to do that: App42 iOS Push Notification Tutorial
2. Double click the .cer file, which was downloaded in the above step, to install it.
3. Convert the iPhone developer certificate into a .p12 file by following the below mentioned steps:
- Open the Keychain Access application (in the Applications/Utilities folder)
- Select the Keys category in Keychain Access
- Select the private key associated with your iPhone Development Certificate.The private key is identified by the iPhone Developer as: public certificate that is paired with it.
- Select File > Export Items
- Save your key in the Personal Information Exchange (.p12) file format
- You will be prompted to create a password which will be used when you will attempt to import this key on another computer.
4. Make your .p12 file compatible with APP42 server by following the below mentioned steps:
- Keep your .cer file and .p12 file in a single folder
- Open terminal and go to the folder that has both the files
shephertz-technologiess-iMac:~ shephertztechnologies$ cd "your folder path"
- Now execute the following commands in the terminal
openssl x509 -in developer_identity.cer -inform DER -out developer_identity.pem -outform PEM
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in yourPrivateKey.p12 -out yourPrivateKey.pem
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey yourPrivateKey.pem -in developer_identity.pem -out iphone_dev.p12
- developer_identity.cer <= certificate you downloaded from Apple
- yourPrivateKey.p12 <= your private key
5. Upload iphone_dev.p12 file to the AppHQ console
- Login to AppHQ console and select Push Notification in AppHQ Menu
- Select iOS settings in Settings
- Select your App Name from the drop down menu
- Browse your iphone_developer.p12 file by clicking 'choose file' option to upload the file
- Enter password given during creation of the iphone_developer.p12 file
- Select the environment from the drop down menu
- Click on the submit button and it's done here
6. Open your Xcode project and navigate to the AppDelegate.m class and change the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method to look like this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
// Let the device know we want to receive push notifications
// Register for Push Notitications, if running on iOS 8
if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
UIUserNotificationType userNotificationTypes = (UIUserNotificationTypeAlert |
UIUserNotificationTypeBadge |
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:userNotificationTypes
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
// Register for Push Notifications, if running iOS version < 8
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
return YES;
The above code tells the OS that this App wants to receive push notifications.
7. Now you need to add the following delegate methods in your AppDelegate.m in order to receive push notification:
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
NSLog(@"My token is: %@", deviceToken);
// Prepare the Device Token for Registration (remove spaces and )
NSString *devToken = [[[[deviceToken description]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@""]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @" " withString: @""];
NSLog(@"My Device token is: %@", devToken);
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError*)error
NSLog(@"Failed to get token, error: %@", error);
When your App registers for remote (push) notifications, it tries to obtain a "device token". This is a 32-byte number that uniquely identifies your device. A device token is the address to which a push notification will be delivered.
8. After getting the device token you need to register your device with the App42 Server to set up a connection to APNS to send the push notification to this device token. Change the delegate method application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: in the AppDelegate.m class to look like this:
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
NSLog(@"My token is: %@", deviceToken);
// Prepare the Device Token for Registration (remove spaces and )
NSString *devToken = [[[[deviceToken description]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@""]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @" " withString: @""];
NSLog(@"My Device token is: %@", devToken);
* Register the device token for App42 Push notification services
[self registerUserForPushNotificationToApp42Cloud:devToken];
ServiceAPI *serviceObj = [[ServiceAPI alloc]init];
serviceObj.apiKey = APP42_APP_KEY;
serviceObj.secretKey = APP42_SECRET_KEY;
PushNotificationService *pushObj = [serviceObj buildPushService];
PushNotification *pushNotification =[pushObj registerDeviceToken:deviceToken withUser:@"User Name"];
[pushNotification release];
@catch (App42Exception *exception)
[serviceObj release];
[pushObj release];
9. Now to send a push notification, call the following method in a commonly used class in your project so that you can call this whenever you want to:
ServiceAPI *serviceObj = [[ServiceAPI alloc]init];
serviceObj.apiKey = APP42_APP_KEY;
serviceObj.secretKey = APP42_SECRET_KEY;
PushNotificationService *pushObj = [serviceObj buildPushService];
NSMutableDictionary *pushDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[pushDictionary setObject:message forKey:@"alert"];
[pushDictionary setObject:@"default" forKey:@"sound"];
[pushDictionary setObject:@"1" forKey:@"badge"];
PushNotification *pushNotification = [pushObj sendPushMessageToUser:@"User Name" withMessageDictionary: pushDictionary];
[pushNotification release];
@catch (App42Exception *exception)
[serviceObj release];
[pushObj release];
The pushDictionary in the above code should always follow the same structure as mentioned above to deliver the push notification successfully using App42 Server. You can remove or add the items to the pushDictionary if needed as per the Apple guidelines.
10. If you want to take any actions when you receive push notification then you need to add the following delegate method in the AppDelegate.m class:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
* Dump your code here according to your requirement after receiving push
With the above mentioned step, your App has been successfully set up to receive/send push notifications through our App42 Server using App42 Push Notification Service.
It would be great to hear the views from the readers of this blog. In case you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

centralt. sengen/ ikke dyner
et udmærket trestjernet hotel med et kønt værelse og en skøn beliggenhed centralt placeret i VI* arr. Morgenmad fremragende serveret i en smuk sal.
God beliggenhed, tæt på Metro/RER Luxembourg - gå-afstand til Notre Dame og Pompidou Centret.
Fantastisk beliggenhed. Elendig lille elevator.
Central beliggenhed i stille gade, hotellet roligt med venlig og hjælpsom betjening. Værelset lille med lidt mørke farver på vægge og gulv, badeværelse fint.
Hotel ligger helt central for en byferie i Paris Nej
Værelsets indretning og materialle valg. Godt design især badeværelset.
receptionspersonalet var generelt venlige og hjælpsomme. passede til vores behov. var hurtige og uden problemer.beliggenheden var virkelig god, tæt på alt og alligevel roligt.værelset havde hvad der kunne forventes af et 4-stjernet.godt at vinduer kunne åbnes. jeg synes kun der var 2 ting, der sprang mig i øjnene. rengøringspigen var ikke tilfreds med os (vil jeg tro, eller med sit job) banker på før 9, selvom der er not disturb på døren. kaster nattøjet på det meet lille sengebord, så ting ligger væltet når vi kommer tilbage, skraldespanden var fyldt på badeværelset da vi ankom den første dag, kleenex blev aldrig fyldt op, var tom da vi kom. drikkevarerne bvlev ikke fyldt op næstsidste dag osv. jeg havde desuden forventet at et surperior rum havde været en lidt større end det var. vi skulle kante os meget rundt, og måtte skiftes lidt til at bevæge os rundt.
Dejligt lille hotel, gode og rene værelser. Super god beliggenhed i lille, stille gade midt i byen.
the kindness of the staff the room was too small and uncomfortable to be a "superior double".
friendly staff. Situation of hotel. Small selection at breakfast.
Excellent location. Unwelcoming staf on day of arrival. LImited TV channels options. No "do not disturb" note in the room and maid entering without warning.
Excelent location, silent at night, kindness and professionalism of staff, good room size, comfort. Breakfast should be included in the room rate.
The hotel is very clean and all of the facilities have been updated. On a very pleasant, tree-lined quiet street near the Luxembourg Gardens. The room was a bit small given the (French government-awarded) 4-star rating. The muzak in the hallways is very annoying. A shower curtain would help keep the bathroom from getting flooded. Internet service should be for 24 hours, not two hours.
the staff were really helpful. the rooms comfortable the kettle did not work
The location is convenient to reach RER, but there are neither shops nor good restaurants in immediate proximity. The canteen is very small, the breakfast selection is poor.
The Relaise Saint Jaques is a very fine well run hotel close to the Sorbon university in Paris and is idealy situated close to the Latin Quarter and the splendid Luxemburg gardens, The room was splendid with a good sized bathroom, and the staff on reception and the staff in the bufet breakfast room were very friendly and helpful all the time nothing was too much trouble. nothing i did not like.
The location and staff were great The hotel room was too hot.
Very polite personel and the position was good.
The design of this hotel is 'uber trendy' and will appeal to anyone with a keen appreciation for interior design and futuristic gadgets! It is a great fun experience. The breakfast was delicious and good quality food with plenty of choice and fitted with the trendy style of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. The cocktails made at the bar were fab. The parking situation is very difficult at this hotel. You have to park at a city car park which is about 10 minutes in the car from the hotel (it is 5 minutes to walk but further due to the road structure of the city). It is not easy to find and we would strongly recommend asking the hotel for the parking address and printing a map before you enter Paris. Also, the hotel room did smell a little damp when we arrived and the nespresso machine was not cleaned.
The lightning in the room - glass bathroom + 3 showers Water came under the door to the room. Wet carpet
Staff superb, excellent rooms, very different
very nice and friendly staff, rooms are amazing - great fun
The funky designs of the rooms. The interesting bar concept in teh evening of help yourself and honesty system It could have done with some music in the evening when the bar opened to add atmosphere.
We appreciated the very helpful staff, and loved the convenient location. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. Can't think of anything negative. We'd stay there again!
The staff was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful! The room was also very beautiful and comfortable! Everything was amazing! Would not change a thing!!
The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was modern, clean and had enough space to move around. The only thing that was a bit less than perfect was when I arrived at the hotel at around noon, instead of being greeted by the lady at the front desk- her first words were, "Oh, it is way too early for you to be checking-in." I knew that, and was fine to leave my bags, however it would have been more hospitable to welcome me to the hotel, take my information and let me know that they could accomodate my luggage instead of making me feel like I had inconvenienced her, or that I expected to go straight to my room.
Everything was perfect. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us a lot in a few things that we needed assistance. The location was excellent, near RER/Metro station which could deliver you directly to CDG Airport and all the good spots of Paris. Very good design of breakfast/bar area. The room was a bit small but I guess that is a typical situtation with most Paris hotels.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay in Paris. The icing on the cake was our hotel which was a great base to explore (or get Lost) in the streets of the Left bank and the latin quarter. The Hotel staff where very helpful and courteous and we would definitely stay there again.
Location is very optimal and the stuff is very helpfull. Elevators
Excellent service, beautiful furnishings and finishes, great location.
Nice, clean and quiet.....hotel staff very very helpful with questions and recommendations for restaurants etc....was also given an upgraded room which was very nice
Wonderful friendly staff. The smallness of the establishment added to the warm ambience of the hotel. Recently refurbished so fresh and modern. So close to so many attractions. Loved the whole experience.
Hotellet er rigtig godt placeret lige overfor metro. Nabo til Jardin du Luxembourg en meget flot park som stort set er egen have til hotellet. Tresengsværelserne er pæne og store og der er venlig betjening på hotellet. Lille købmand lige overfor hotellet kan forsyne dig med morgenmad, frugt drikkevarer m.m. og der er lille køleskab på værelset til opbevaring. Nej.
Venlig modtagelse ved ankomt ca 22.30 Hoveddøren låst om natten betryggende. Pænt og rent værelse. Beliggenhed rolig og alligevel tæt på seværdigheder. En rigtig god oplevelse sammen med min datter, kommer gerne igen.
Beliggenheden, indretningen af værelset. Komforten.
Beliggenheden er rigtig god, tæt ved metro og hovedstrøg. Mange muligheder for shopping og fortæring.Man kan komme hurtigt rundt i byen Der var meget støj fra gaden og specielt fra en bus med holdeplads lige nedenfor hotellet. Dieselmotor...
Den centrale beliggende,meget venligt personale og hyggelige rum
Beliggenheden var rigtig god. Værelset var fint, vendte ud mod sidegade med pæn lille park. Stille om natten. Personalet var flinkt og hjælpsomme.Alt i alt et rigtigt godt ophold.
Dinners Club virkede ikke--
Det var et ok ophold ikke det bedste vi har været på, morgenmaden var dyr og elendig, Bedre morgenmad til prisen. eller sætte prisen ned
Venlig betjening, pænt og ordentliogt sted. Rengørringen var helt i top. Der var rene håndklæder og rent værelse hver dag. Det er ikke nødvendigt. Man kan jo ikke lave om på, at værelserne var lidt små. Sådan er det jo i Paris
Meget hjælpsomt personale der alle talte perfekt engelsk. Rene værelser og god beliggenhed til butikker og Luxembourg Haven. Små værelser og lille elevator. En lille klapvogn kunne godt være derinde. Men ikke en alm str og slet ikke en barnevogn.
Its central location. Close to tourist attractions, metro, supermarket etc. Tea & coffee making facilities in our room would have been very welcome.
The location of the hotel is excellent - right in the heart of Quartier Latin. 1 min walk from the Sorbonne university. Very clean and nice.
Great location and balcony. Quoted one price via email for 6th floor at 99e but receptionist denies all knowledge of this price even tho we had it in writing from them.Very small rooms with no tea or coffee facilities. Old bathrooms.
Good position next to the Sorbonne University Rooms are too small! Impossible to move into it
The hotel has an excellent location. It's also very clean. I thought some staff members could try to speak a bit more in English, especially when someone asks for an information. I've got some answers in French, although I have asked in English. They also could have frigobars in the rooms. And they could offer free breakfast too. Of course I knew these before, but it could be a perfect hotel.
Location Tiny room (to be expected in Paris but still a challenge!). Noise from other rooms - plumbing and 'nocturnal' activity!
Very good location. Comfortable clean and simple Breakfast not included
The staff were friendly, patiently answered questions even though we didn't speak French and gave unsolicited good suggestions (e.g., the strike may cause problems even after it is over and taking a cab to the airport would be a good idea). It was a little cramped, but that is why it is less expensive.
The room and bathroom are kept sparkling clean! The service: I asked for two pillows instead of the long very uncomfortable "roll" provided and for the heating to be turned on; despite smiling promises nothing was done to comply with either of my requests.
The room (superior double) was new, very clean, very romantic. We liked it so much. The position of the hotel is ok. Not all the staff was friendly (except the arabian (maybe) guy that was very cordial) and it speaks only french, even if they know english they rarely speak it. But we noticed that it is very common in France.
The service from the staff was exemplary. The location superb, would strongly recommend a trip down Rue Mouffetard, best market in Paris and some really good restaurants.
Front desk staff was very helpful with directions. The neighborhood is terrific, not touristy at all. The air conditioning broke down twice during our stay. The airport shuttle featured at the front desk took 3 hours instead of 1 and made us miss our flight. The hotel is no longer associated with Best Western.
The staff was very helpful. The room was very clean. The breakfast was good. When it got hot, the air conditioning did not work. My room was very warm.
the manager paul was very helpful a proper gentleman the first room offered had three single beds which were only suitable for children,this room badly needed a make over
room was very small and in desperate need of refurbishment. We were positioned on the ground floor next to reception and it was quite noisy. We checked out a day early and went to stay elsewhere
very kindly staff, one free internet laptop at the entrance for quick googling, our family room (2 double room with a shared entrance) was excellent for us (parents and 13y + 15y kids) metro distance quite long (but bus stop just beside the hotel), TV equipment not worth to switch on
The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Every one tried to help in so many different ways. And everyone tried to speak English or spoke English very well. The hotel was in the course of renovation so I could not assess to what extent facilities that were not provided were absent because not yet there or would never be there.
This hotel is too expensive for Its quality.It is not a best western hotel. But the staff is very nice, the breakfast is ok and Its location is very good.
meget charmerende værelse, ikke stort, men funktionelt. TV`et er gemt i skabet, så det kun er den ene, der kan se det fra sengen. Men det var ikke relevant at bruge TV i Paris. TV`et erstattes af en ny model. Tager også for meget plads op, for der er ikke meget skabsplads. Og boksen til at opbevare værdigenstande i, var placeret nederst og inderst i det ene skab. Min mand kunne kravle ned og bruge den, men pga dårligt knæ, var jeg ikke i stand til det.
The only really good things were the location and that there was free wifi. The front desk clerk when we checked in was good. There was construction going on and there were only 3 outlets in the room and one was not working. The room was very small and the shower head did not work well. The front desk clerk when we checked out was not friendly.
Location to transportation and very easy to get to all the sites They need to work on the breakfast set up and selections.
Placering var perfekt. Super morgenmadsrestaurant på den anden side af gaden! Hotellet ligger godt men er slidt. De kunne arbejde lidt på servicen i receptionen.
Hotellet beliggendehed er rigtig rigtig god, ligger fredeligt i en gade i et godt kvarter, 75 m fra Luxemborgparken. Der er ikke langt til metro, shoppingmulighed, cafeer og restaurationer og div. attraktioner. Vi havde et stort værelse med badekar, meget fin størrelse i forhold til hvad man ellers kan opleve i paris, det er dog ikke alle værelsere der er således. Når der ingen bar/cafe i hotellet er, bør man overveje at udstyre værelserne med en mulighed for at lave sig en kop kaffe eller te. Man kunne derudover gøre morgenmaden lidt mere attraktiv.
Rene badeværelser og rene senge. God beliggenhed tæt på Metro og bus.godt brød til morgenmadeb. Dyner i stedet for tæpper.
Beliggenheden er fin, gode senge og rigtig fin morgenmad selvom varmt mangler. Der blev gjort fint rent på værelset. Alt var som forventet.
Fint nyt badeværelse, god morgenmad,god seng. Det ligger dejlig tæt ved en RER-station med direkte forbindelse til CDG

These series of works are based around the themes of visual communication and information overload. An initial inspiration for the artworks was the 'test card' screen shown when TV stations (such as the BBC in the UK) finished broadcasting for the evening.
We live in times where large parts of the population of the world have access to 24-hour information and communication methods, via the internet or through mobile phones. This amount of information can be overwhelming. The previous generation were restricted by TV channels ending broadcasts late evening. There was no internet or mobile phones, and news updates were obtained via newspapers or TV / radio updates.
These artworks are created by digitally recycling this visual information into new multi-layered, mixed-media artworks. The artworks contain news headlines, distorted imagery and abstracts from various information sources – both online and offline. The title of each piece is taken from a news headline, with further related text contained within the artwork.

Seddon and his pre-Raphelite friend Holman Hunt journeyed to the Holy Land in 1854. His painstaking, sun-lit detail shows the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane, the site of Christs anguish before the crucifixion.
Note: image shown is our best representation of how your print will look. See more info on Custom Prints
Painter Thomas Seddon originally trained as a furniture designer and draughtsman, but discovered his passion for painting in the late 1840s. In 1850 he co-founded a school of drawing for working men. In 1852 he exhibited his first work at the Royal Academy. In that year, too, he visited Dinan in France and at the end of 1853 travelled to Alexandria to join his friend William Holman Hunt on a tour of Egypt and the Holy Land. This led to a series of landscapes in keeping with the Pre-Raphelites.

Gerald Jackson is a former assistant of NCIS Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Mallard.
Most of Gerald's past is shrouded in mystery although as a child, he spent a lot of time with his grandfather who once owned a funeral with the two spending a lot of quality time bonding over the embalming table.
At some point, presumably between Meltdown (episode) and Yankee White (episode), Gerald joined NCIS, becoming Ducky's assistant.
NCIS Season 1Edit
Gerald made his debut appearance in the Season 1 premiere episode, Yankee White (episode) where he helped Ducky with the autopsy of Naval Commander Ray Trapp who had died after having lunch with the President on Air Force One.
NCIS Season 3Edit
Gerald was a tall, lean young man in his late twenties, early thirties with black hair and brown eyes.
Donald "Ducky" MallardEdit
Gerald had a good, working friendship with Ducky with the two working on numerous autopsies together although Ducky regularly and strongly disapproved to Gerald's habit of listening to music on his MP3.

After a strangely jarring conversation with the new hospital chaplain, Abby finds herself taking the elevator upstairs, to the surgical department. Making her way to her husband's office, she waffles outside the door, pacing, stalling.
It's not until she sees one of the surgical nurses casting a curious look in her direction that she knocks softly on the door, then pushes it open. She takes a deep breath, running her fingers through her hair, and lets the door close behind her as she steps into Lee's office.
She begins to speak but has to clear her throat before she tries again. Hey...how's the leg feeling? She approaches her husband slowly, gesturing to his injured leg.
Abby zips up her coat as Lily keeps sing-songing the words, happy with the approval from her father.
He presses a kiss against Lily's curls, smiling softly at her behavior though the knowledge that she doesn't understand any of this is making him sad. He's not looking forward to being on his own with the little girl again, not because he isn't capable but because he knows Lily's going to be confused and looking for her mother.
Abby's thoughts are similar to Lee's as she watches their daughter with him. She gives them a small smile and speaks softly. Let's get this over with...
He nods as he moves towards the front door with Lily. All right.
She follows him to the front door, her hand on Lily's back, wanting to stay connected to the little girl as long as she can.
He can't ignore how close she's hovering and giving her a sympathetic look his head at Lily. Do you want to take her? I'll lock the door.
She nods, holding her hands out for the little girl. C'mere, Lilybug.
He settles the child in Abby's arms then turns to pull the door closed behind them and lock it.
She rubs her nose against Lily's. Ooh, it's cold out here, isn't it baby?
He nods, pulling his coat closed as he shivers. It's going to get colder tonight. At least it's not snowing.
She holds Lily tighter. Guess you'll wear your fleece jammies tonight, right Lily?
Of course she will. He places a hand on Abby's back as they walk to the car. Daddy probably will too.
That makes three of us. She comments absently, thinking of the warm pajamas he'd suggested she pack.
He refuses to think about the fact that they'll be in separate beds tonight. Instead, he unlocks the car's door and holds open the rear passenger door so she can put the baby in the car.
She slips into the car and gets Lily situated in her carseat. She kisses the little girl and gives her a board book to handle before closing the door and moving to the front seat.
He's all ready in the car by the time she gets in, engine running as he waits for the car to warm up. Ah...where exactly is this place?
She gives him the address and general directions as she fastens her seatbelt, unable to look at him.
He closes his eyes and inhales deeply, calming himself over the anxiety he feels about the drive, about having to say good bye to her shortly. Finally looking over at her again he realizes she's averted her gaze. You're doing the right thing.
She looks at him finally, taking a breath. I hope so.
He was going to back out of the driveway but her words cause him to stop and sit staring at her. Do you want to do this?
She stares back at him. Want? I need to do this.
Yes you do. He agrees with her, ignoring the look she's giving him. And like you've told me repeatedly, it won't do a damned bit of good unless you *want* to do this.
She sighs. I want to get better, Lee. I do.
Then why don't you know if you're doing the right thing by ...He doesn't want to say the words and they stick in his throat at first, By going to a rehab facility?
She takes a deep breath and lets it out, being completely, utterly honest with him for the first time in what seems like a long time. What if it doesn't work? What if I...can't do it?

3 Tier Real Cake On Top Of 2 Dummies..
Decorating By CBMom Updated 16 Sep 2009 , 1:57am by leah_s
Will this work?
Can the dummies support the weight of the 3 cakes above?
I would have done the 5 tier in dummies, and sheets to serve, but she doesn't want sheets, wants the "effect' of the 5 tier, but only needs 3 cakes to serve.
6,8,10" in real
12, and 14" in dummies.
Thanks for any advice!
It will work fine...and I hope you charge almost the same for those dummies. I charge 75% of the price of a real cake for dummies.
Thank you!!
I was worried that the dummies would squish somehow. That's excellent that they can support the weight.
You could probably stand on those dummies, holding the other three tiers.

The Reptile and Amphibian Group for Somerset(RAGS) was inaugurated in 1994 as a specialist group of the Somerset Wildlife Trust and forms part of the national ARG-UK network.
The group aims to protect and promote the interests of the county's snakes, lizards, newts, frogs and toads. RAGS members can provide expertise for a variety of advisory and educational purposes and keeps enthusiasts in contact with one another, building up information for practical purposes.
What we do:
- Surveying and recording reptile and amphibian populations across the county - Every year RAGS conducts Adder surveys across the Quantocks hills to map their distribution and identify hibernacula! This year we are also reaching out to the Mendips and the Blackdown hills. Also we do night surveys of great crested newts on both known and potential sites.
- Survey training workshops - We are keen to get our volunteers out there enjoying our local reptiles and amphibians, so we provide training days and continual support for surveying techniques and identification.
- Field meetings
- Interesting and inspiring talks - A range of talks throughout the year covering subjects such as identification, behaviour, ecology, conservation, reptile and amphibian diseases.
- Visits to reptile and amphibian sites both within the county and further afield.
- Advising the public on all aspects of reptile and amphibian conservation, including snakes in the garden - Many people are unaware of the reptiles and amphibians all around them, and what they can do to help them. There are also a lot of people who are scared to have snakes in their garden due to the way they are portrayed in the media. We try to advise people to make their land more herp friendly!
- Practical conservation - RAGS also help the public in the practical side of managing their land in site of helping our local herps. Recently we have been involved in pond clearing during the winter at various places across Somerset ready for the amphibians to come back for breeding in the spring!
- Organising Toad patrols -During the breeding season Toads make their Journey to their favoured ponds to breed, this can be dangerous as it often means crossing busy roads, where a lot of them don't make it! So we set up night patrols to try and control traffic to give the toads a better chance of survival.
A lot of this would not be possible without the help of volunteers and enthusiasts! If you want to be involved in any of this then feel free to drop us an e-mail and we will add you to the mailing list for regular updates.

(Austin, Texas)
Yesterday I sat by Gran's bedside with one hand atop her chest and the other in her near-limp right hand. I could feel her chest rattle and wheeze as she labored to take each breath, alternating between shallow, sharp, and smooth exhalations. As I stared at the purplish tinge her hands had started acquiring and the cold, white pallor her forehead assumed, I knew she didn't have long. No longer able to receive sufficient oxygen from merely her nostrils, she'd started breathing primarily through her mouth, which caused it to dry. Mouth agape, Gran was positioned in such a way that the deterioration of her tongue was painfully visible. It had the texture of pinkish-gray concrete after a brief rain.
On Saturday I'd come down with a severe cold, which included a nasty sore throat and extreme nasal congestion. With my own oxygen supply severely restricted, I found it more exhausting sitting with Gran each day. My physical fatigue started approaching the emotional and mental suffocation I've felt since Mom died. Because of my nightly insomnia and this recent health-decline, I took an over-the-counter sleep aid last night. Sophie had driven home, and as we both drifted towards our pill-induced slumbers, she asked if I would turn out the lamp in the room where we were staying. I told her that I felt foolish but that I'd like to keep it on because I had a strong feeling that Gran's spirit might visit me. Sophie thought I was being stupid. But, I had a feeling that Gran didn't have long. And I did end up dreaming of Gran and Mom last night. Who knows... In this dream sequence I also had an Angels in America kind of angel vision, complete with a Prior Walter kind of orgasm. I can't complain there.
This morning Sophie jumped in the shower first. As I waited for her to finish, Dad called to say that the hospice nurse had been in to see Gran and had told him that she didn't have long at all. In fact, she'd said that Gran was dying. I yelled to Sophie to hurry. I brushed my teeth, threw on a mismatched outfit, and headed out the door, with Sophie following close behind. We drove there separately since she thought she would end up working later in the day.
I drove to the nursing home at 85 mph. The highway was traffic-free, so I had no problem reaching the place quickly. Two minutes before I arrived there, I had a feeling that Gran had died. I didn't know how. I just knew. And as I rushed to her room, finding the door closed, my suspicions were confirmed. When a nursing room door is closed, they're usually hiding something distressing from the other residents. And they did keep Gran hidden from as many of them as possible, perhaps to save them from the painful realization that they, too, were all destined for Gran's fate.
I opened the door and saw Aunt Jenna bawling, sobbing so hysterically that she was almost hyperventilating. I hugged her and firmly held her. There are no words that you can say to comfort a person who is grieving, in shock that his or her world is now completely foreign to them. So I just held her. Dad cried, too, and I didn't know what to say to him either. I approached Gran's body and saw that her eyes were slightly open, so I closed them.
Then I stared long and hard at Gran's dead face, which looked nothing like her at all. Once again I felt alienated from the body of a person who I loved. It is odd how a human being can be reduced to a pure material body when they're dead. The body is merely a vessel that carries the precious cargo of the soul. Without that divine spark that animates us, we're just strange shells. I half wanted to laugh at the absurdity of the scene. After 75 years, this is how it ended.
I called family and friends to tell them of Gran's death and everyone else did the same. Sophie and I drove to Scarlett's work to deliver the news. Scarlett works as a cashier at a local grocery store. Sophie and I had found her manager and told her we needed to speak with her. At first she'd eyed us suspiciously and told us that she couldn't tell us where Scarlett was working due to privacy concerns. But when I told her that we were Scarlett's sisters and that we needed to tell Scarlett that her grandmother had just died and take her to view the body, she changed her tune. When Scarlett first saw us, she was beaming, having had a pleasant day, temporarily forgetting the nightmare that our lives had become. The instant her manager told us that we needed to speak with her, her smile dropped. We told her Gran had died and drove her to the nursing home, where she was able to say her goodbyes.
About an hour after we had returned to the nursing home, while we were waiting for the funeral home to pick up Gran's body, Sophie, Scarlett, me, and a great-aunt of ours had examined Gran's dead body, noting the yellowish white purple pallor of her fingers and the reddish purple of her heels. I tried closing Gran's mouth, but gravity fought against me, and her jaw kept slowly dropping open despite efforts. Gran's fingers moved limply against mine, no life left in them. Her face was blanched. I kissed her forehead and could smell the staleness of the oil that came from her hair, a smell that anyone gets when they haven't had a proper shower in a day or two. What I remember most about Gran's forehead is the way it felt cold. It was unnaturally frigid for a person. But that's death: unnatural naturalness/natural unnaturalness.
It wasn't long before the funeral home arrived. Sophie, Scarlett, and I watched as the hospice nurse, Dad, and the funeral director hoisted Gran onto a stretcher. After the funeral director strapped her into it and raised it so that he could roll it down the hall, he and Dad covered Gran with a cheap, red cloth that bore the name of the funeral home. The nurse walked ahead of the funeral director as he wheeled Gran down the hall. She closed doors to residents' rooms, trying to shelter them from the harsh reality that many of them would soon face. But she couldn't hide Gran's red cloth-covered body from the residents who sat eating in the dining area. As we walked past them with our tear-stained faces of grief, I watched several of them look up. The awareness that their own deaths were approaching and could arrive at any moment seemed to strike many of them. You could see it in their eyes.
The funeral director wheeled Gran outside to his funereal minivan. These days hearses are made to look inconspicuous. I couldn't believe it, but I could. Instead of a traditional, unmistakable hearse, the vehicle looked like a van you might see a bunch of kids hopping out of to attend a soccer game. Our society is so anxious about death, and we often do everything that we can to keep it out of our consciousness. Hair color, anti-aging cremes, euphemisms, minivan-looking hearses, controlled displays of grief--you name it.
No matter how ugly Death can seem, I think it's beautiful in all its ugliness. It's raw. It's real. And we're all destined for it. Let's stop pretending we're not.

Bayern Munich trimmed Borusssia Dortmund's lead at the top of the German league to two points on Saturday as the Bavarians enjoyed a 2-1 home win over Hannover.
After midfielder Toni Kroos put the hosts ahead at Munich's Allianz Arena with a well-taken first-half chip, Germany striker Mario Gomez extended his tally as the Bundesliga's top scorer with his 23rd goal in 26 matches.
He rolled his shot under Hannover goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler on 68 minutes to claim Bayern's second before Ivory Coast striker Didier Ya Konan pulled a goal back with a spectacular bicycle kick on 74 minutes.
Hannover could have rescued a point as ex-Manchester United striker Mame Diouf headed over the bar with time almost up.
With Dortmund at Cologne on Sunday in the Rhineland derby, Bayern took the opportunity to cut the defending champions lead, leaving them on 57 points to Dortmund's 59 with seven matches left.
Third-placed Borussia Moechengladbach slipped further back in the title race when they threw away the lead to lose 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim, which leaves them six points behind Bayern and eight behind Dortmund.
Gladbach were cruising to victory after a first-half goal from Dortmund-bound midfielder Marco Reus seven minutes before half-time but Hoffenheim took the three points with two goals in as many second-half minutes.
Brazil midfielder Roberto Firmino earned a yellow card for his shirtless celebrations on 77 minutes before a sharp header from Boris Vukcevic on 79 minutes scuppered Gladbach's hopes.
Schalke 04, who host Leverkusen on Saturday night, can now claim third place if they beat Robin Dutt's team in Gelsenkirchen.
Kaiserslautern coach Krassimir Balakov, who took over after Marco Kurz was sacked in midweek, had an unhappy start to his tenure as his team was beaten 2-0 at Freiburg to remain bottom of the league.
It was Kaiserslautern's 17th league game without a win and means they are now six points adrift at the bottom.
Slovakia's Karim Guede put his side ahead after only eight minutes before Freiburg captain and Congo international Cedrick Makiadi added the second with a header on 14 minutes.
The win lifts Freiburg to 14th and drops Hamburg into the relegation places after they lost 2-1 to Wolfsburg on Friday night.
Hertha Berlin remain second from bottom despite their 3-1 win at Mainz but things are tight at the bottom as only two points separate 17th and 13th in the league.
Hamburg's chairman has backed coach Thorsten Fink to keep them away from relegation despite the German league club's fourth consecutive defeat that saw them slip into the bottom three.
"I'm still convinced that we have the right coaching staff," said Carl-Edgar Jarchow on Saturday after a meeting with Fink.

Jesper Kirstein established Kirstein A/S (formerly Kirstein Finansrådgivning A/S) in 1993 after a career including positions as a stockbroker and a managing director. The first well-defined area of business was pension analysis, and we were the first in Denmark to collect and record accounting data from Danish pension funds. This makes us the only company today that holds financial data on all pension firms in Denmark since 1990.
Our focus on pension funds naturally led to an interest in asset management and mutual funds, and Kirstein was the first company to analyse real return data for Danish mutual funds, and we were also the first in Denmark to conduct structured global searches and analysis of asset managers for institutional investors. Parallel to this, Kirstein began advising small and medium-sized institutional investors on investment strategy, selection of managers, etc.
In 2002, Kirstein conducted its first Investor Survey for Danish and international asset managers. The survey uncovers Danish investors' attitudes towards investments and asset managers. The Nordic region quickly became immersed in the universe of investors, followed by the Benelux countries, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and in 2015, the universe includes approximately 450 investors from Continental Europe. At the same time, the service has changed from being an annual survey to an ongoing consultancy service.
In 2014, we established K Invest, whitelabelling the best Danish and international asset managers in a Danish mutual fund.
In May 2015, Kirstein opened a subsidiary in Boston to service our clients even better. The Boston office is available for and services our wide span of both Danish and international clients.
The first employee was already hired in autumn 1993, and since then the amount of employees has grown steadily, but with a small halt during the financial crisis. Today, there are 26 employees at Kirstein.

Laxmi, I don't think it is that simple. There are two aspects which need to be taken care of, in the digital world. One of course is SEO and discoverability. And having a controlled online presence makes all the difference. The other is for authors to create a family of readers who follow you, who love you, who talk about you and who promote you.
Some times, I think that most of this stuff should be obvious to most people, but the more I interact with authors, the more I realize how much work all this entails.
Ritesh — you hit the nail on the head. Building a community is lot of work, and slow burn, a brick at a time. SEO as well has to be optimised slowly — as long as it does not take you away from the actual writing 🙂
