ANGLESEY, ENGLAND, January 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Stena Line has announced that its newly launched ferry crossing to Holland will allow travellers to visit the newly opened Canal House hotel in central Amsterdam.
Since the completion of Stena Line's North Sea fleet renewal in October 2010 the ferry company has offered travel to the Hook of Holland from southeast England on two plush new supersized Superferries, replete with Swedish beds, free WiFi, wine bar, sun terrace and a la carte restaurant. This month Holland will also see the opening of a chic 23-room hotel along the Keizersgracht canal in Amsterdam's trendy Nine Streets district.
The third property of A Curious Group of Hotels, Canal House will boast individually designed rooms featuring limited edition handpicked art. Created by Amsterdam-based design firm Concrete Architectural Associates, the glamorous and contemporary interiors are based on a muted colour scheme of black, purples, coppers and greys. Canal House will also feature a 40-seat Great Room for dining, and menus and mini-bars will include regional delicacies. In Canal House's spa, guests will find the Curious Group of Hotels' own bath and body range, Green and Spring.
Travellers seeking a cultural weekend will love Amsterdam's Nine Streets district, flower market and Anne Frank's house. For the budget-conscious an overnight ferry to Amsterdam with Stena Line will allow people to maximise their stay without adding additional hotel nights to the cost of the trip.
Stena Line offers a twice-daily six-hour ferry to Holland crossings between Harwich and the Hook of Holland.

'UnZIPPING' zinc protects hippocampal neurons
2011-01-06
HOUSTON – (Jan. 5, 2011) – Zinc ions released at the junction between two neurons (called a synapse) are important signals, but when too much zinc accumulates, cells become dysfunctional or die.
Researchers in the Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory (http://www.thebluebirdcircle.com/Clinic/NeurogeneticsLaboratory.aspx) in the department of neurology at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that zinc enters cells through specialized protein gates known as ZIP transporters, and removing these ZIP proteins from cells in the hippocampus (an area of ...
New glaucoma test allows earlier, more accurate detection
2011-01-06
TUCSON, Ariz. (January 4, 2011) -- Cumbersome glaucoma tests requiring a visit to the ophthalmologist could soon be history thanks to a home test developed by an engineer at the University of Arizona.
A new hand-held instrument involving a system of micro-force sensors, specially designed microchips, and math-based programmed procedures has been designed by researchers at the UA College of Engineering. The easy-to-use probe gently rubs the eyelid and can be used at home, threatening to replace painful eye drops and the need for a sterilized sensor.

Kittiwakes' trans-Atlantic winter odyssey linked to breeding success
2011-01-06
One of Britain's best known seabirds winters on opposite sides of the Atlantic depending on whether its breeding attempt has been successful according to new research published today in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The findings highlight previously unsuspected links between summer breeding performance and wintering distributions of kittiwakes.
The research team was led by Dr Maria Bogdanova from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) in conjunction with colleagues from CEH and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
The discovery of such patterns ...
Europe reins in the smoking habit
2011-01-06
A study led by the Smoking Control Unit of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) has confirmed that the anti-tobacco laws in Europe have a direct effect on the reduction in consumption and passive exposure to smoke. This conclusion was reached by relating the Tobacco Eurobarometer and the Tobacco Control Scale (TCS).
A new study, published in the magazine Plos One, has confirmed the hypothesis that the greater the restrictions, the lower the consumption and passive exposure to smoke. The study was carried out in the 27 countries of the EU and relates the Eurobarometer ...
Neuronal migration errors: Right cells, wrong place
2011-01-06
Philadelphia, PA, 4 January 2011 - Normally, cortical nerve cells or neurons reside in the brain's gray matter with only a few scattered neurons in the white matter, but some people with schizophrenia have a higher number of neurons in the white matter. Neuronal migration errors may arise in schizophrenia as a consequence of both genetic and environmental factors.
The phenomenon of aberrant cellular localization has now been studied in detail in a paper by Yang and colleagues, published in the current issue of Biological Psychiatry.
Using a specialized technique that ...
