GEORGETOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Heirloom Fund Management Ltd., manager of the Heirloom Caribbean Real Estate Fund (HCREF), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the property known as High Hope Wiltshire in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Located only 6 miles from Montego Bay and sitting at 1,200 feet above sea level on 87 acres, the property offers spectacular views of the city and bay.
The objective of this investment is to refurbish and re-open the property as a boutique hotel and spa. Approximately 50 acres of the property will be sub-divided into a gated community with the hotel/spa becoming the focal point of the development. In addition, the property also has 10 unfinished 1,200 sq ft chalets that will be completed and form part of the hotel.
The elegant 6,000 sq. ft. villa on the property was the former home of U.S. Ambassador Walter L. Rice and it was also home to movie producer David Selznick who produced the blockbuster film "Gone with the Wind" and also "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
Montego Bay is one of the top tourist destinations in the Caribbean, and the manager believes that this investment offers an excellent opportunity for local and overseas investors to participate in the growing Jamaican real estate market.
Further announcement will be made by the Company once the acquisition has been completed.
Investors wishing to participate in this venture please visit our website for additional information at www.heirloomfunds.com or for a copy of the fund prospectus please contact Bruce Ramsey at Heirloom Fund Management Ltd. at invest@heirloomfunds.com.

Researchers create molecular Braille to identify DNA molecules
2012-03-29
Researchers at UCLA and New York University have developed a method to detect sequence differences in individual DNA molecules by taking nanoscopic pictures of the molecules themselves.
The work is reported in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
Using the approach they call "Direct Molecular Recognition," the UCLA and NYU researchers used nanoparticles to turn the DNA molecules into a form of molecular braille that can be read in the scale of nanometers, or one billionth of a meter, using high-speed Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
The leaders of the study ...

New gene therapy approach developed for red blood cell disorders
2012-03-29
NEW YORK (March 27, 2012) -- A team of researchers led by scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College has designed what appears to be a powerful gene therapy strategy that can treat both beta-thalassemia disease and sickle cell anemia. They have also developed a test to predict patient response before treatment.
This study's findings, published in PLoS ONE, represents a new approach to treating these related, and serious, red blood cells disorders, say the investigators.
"This gene therapy technique has the potential to cure many patients, especially if we prescreen ...

Map of substrate-kinase interactions may lead to more effective cancer drugs
2012-03-29
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Later-stage cancers thrive by finding detours around roadblocks that cancer drugs put in their path, but a Purdue University biochemist is creating maps that will help drugmakers close more routes and develop better drugs.
Kinase enzymes deliver phosphates to cell proteins in a process called phosphorylation, switching a cellular function on or off. Irregularities in phosphorylation can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and are a hallmark of cancer.
Many successful cancer drugs are kinase inhibitors, which block the ability of a kinase to bind ...
Mud manifests history of clear water in murky Minnesota duck depot Lake Christina
2012-03-29
During peak migration days in the early 1900s, tens of thousands of canvasback ducks could be seen floating and diving on Minnesota's Lake Christina. Since midcentury, changes to the lake have diminished this grand, iconic spectacle.
Restoring it will require both top-down control of life in the lake, and bottom-up management of the surrounding landscape. So says a team of Minnesota scientists calling on extensive modern records and 200 years of history trapped in sediment, in a report released online last week in the journal Ecological Applications.
"Lake Christina ...
NASA satellite sees thunderstorms banding around developing system 96W
2012-03-29
A low pressure system that has been lingering in the western North Pacific Ocean for several days appears to be coming together today in infrared imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite.
NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the low pressure area called "System 96W" on March 27 at 0547 UTC (1:47 a.m. EDT) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument captured an infrared and visible look at the storm.
On March 27, 2012 at 0600 UTC (2 a.m. EDT), System 96W was located in the western North Pacific Ocean about 205 miles north-northwest of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, near ...
Nanostarfruits are pure gold for research
2012-03-29
HOUSTON -- (March 27, 2012) -- They look like fruit, and indeed the nanoscale stars of new research at Rice University have tasty implications for medical imaging and chemical sensing.
Starfruit-shaped gold nanorods synthesized by chemist Eugene Zubarev and Leonid Vigderman, a graduate student in his lab at Rice's BioScience Research Collaborative, could nourish applications that rely on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
The research appeared online this month in the American Chemical Society journal Langmuir.
The researchers found their particles returned ...
