5 properties were sold under the hammer at Bayleys' Total Property auction in Auckland yesterday, out of the 12 on the auction list.
The Portage Licensing Trust bought the first property up, an under-utilised site at the end of a block of shops in Blockhouse Bay, and trust president Ross Clow was ecstatic.
Mr Clow, who's also chaired Auckland Council's finance & performance committee this term, said the trust would introduce a liquor store, and there was ample room to add apartments to the site.
Sub-5% yields were achieved on 3 of the sales – on one, a North Shore warehouse with office, it was down at 4.5% and on a Pukekohe property it was 4.8%.
Buyer energy was noticeably up for some properties, but half the offering attracted no or little interest. The former Epsom Post Office, plus development land, got one bid and was passed in, while a 4.3ha site in a development area at Karaka attracted no bid.

In an earlier post, I shared hotel security video of a man stealing the Famous Monsters Convention banner with a Dracula portrait by noted artist Basil Gogos. But the story has a happy ending-- the man has turned in the banner! He was nagged into it by his teenage daughter, who saw the video elsewhere on the Net and was, like, TOTALLY EMBARRASSED!
It's been reported no charges will be filed. A few years sentence of being around his mortified kid seems to be enough punishment for the guy!

Austria to close 7 mosques and expel up to 60 foreign-funded imams and their families
The Austrian government is to order the closure of seven mosques and expel up to 60 imams and their families in a crackdown on political Islam and Turkish nationalism, it has announced.
"Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalization have no place in our country," Sebastian Kurz, the Austrian chancellor, said.
'This is just the beginning,' Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache added.
Six of the seven mosques are being closed on suspicion of links to Islamic terrorism. They are run by an organization called the Arab Religious Community, which the government has also ordered to be shut down.
The seventh mosque is a separate case. It is to be closed for links to the Grey Wolves, a far-Right Turkish nationalist group.
Interior Minister Herbert Kickl of the Freedom Party (FPOe), partner in Austria's coalition government, said: 'The circle of people possibly affected by these measures – the pool that we're talking about – comprises around 60 imams.'
Kickl was referring to imams with links to the Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations (ATIB) organisation, a branch of Turkey's religious affairs agency Diyanet.
The interior minister added that the government suspects them of contravening a ban on foreign funding of religious office holders.
The ministry said 40 of them had an active application for extending their residency and that a number of these had already been referred to immigration authorities, where a process for expelling them was underway.
Once family members were taken into account, a total 150 people risked losing their right to residence, Kickl told a Vienna press conference.
One of the seven mosques will be shut after an investigation by Austria's religious affairs authority sparked by images which emerged in April of children in a Turkish-backed mosque playing dead and re-enacting the World War I battle of Gallipoli.
The photos of children, published by the Falter weekly, showed the young boys in camouflage uniforms marching, saluting, waving Turkish flags and then playing dead.
In Friday's press conference Kurz was keen to emphasise that the action was being taken under legislation to regulate Islamic associations that he himself brought in as a minister in the previous government and which had so far not been used often enough.

Recording artist Jewel and her non-profit charity Project Clean Water have announced a partnership with the Voss Foundation (www.thevossfoundation.org) and Virgin Unite (www.virginunite.com), to launch the Give A Drop campaign. The program's goal is to support water projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and its first venture will be the village of Pel in Dogon, Mali.
"I'm very excited that Project Clean Water has formed a partnership with the Voss Foundation and Virgin Unite to help people in need," said Jewel. "When I was homeless, I became ill and couldn't afford to buy the bottled water I needed for my sick kidneys. I realized then that it was hard to get clean drinking water in the United States, and discovered it was a huge problem globally."
The project in Pel will rehabilitate five wells to modern, efficient and hygienic standards. The village will receive training sessions on well maintenance, hygiene, and water treatment. Studies will be conducted on each well to ensure responsible use and sustainability.
The Give A Drop campaign works through website and text donations. Visit www.giveadrop.com or, to make a $5 donation, just text the message "DROP" to phone number 85944.

Jewish learning organization Limmud NY recently held their annual retreat, full of workshops, classes, and panel discussions.
With the recent resurgence in the Jewish food scene (not to mention a few millennia of Jewish culture emphasizing food), the retreat naturally confronted one of the biggest debates in Jewish food and identity today: can non-kosher food be called Jewish?
At an event entitled "The Food Panel: Fusion Foodies Talk," three diverse Jewish food experts addressed the controversial subject, prompted by celebrity chef Ilan Hall's bacon-wrapped matzo balls at his restaurant The Gorbals in LA.
Rabbi Mary Zamore, editor of "The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish Food Ethic," suggested the dish could even be anti-Semitic; other critics had previously called it "confrontational cooking."
But Shannon Sarna, the blogger behind The Nosher, called the dish "very cool." And Michael Twitty, the author of "Afroculinaria," invoked Mile End Deli in Brooklyn. The hot spot has revived traditional Jewish dishes, putting a modern spin on pastrami (it technically serves Montreal-style smoked meat), chopped liver, and tongue. But the restaurant is definitely not kosher.
Interestingly, all three panelists agreed that Jews should avoid defining foods as more or less "authentic," reflecting both historical diversity and changing demographics.
Many contemporary chefs are taking on dishes that could be considered inherently Jewish: generally traditional Ashkenazi dishes or Middle Eastern cuisine. But many of these new producers of pastrami, brisket, lox, gefilte fish, hummus, falafel, and schnitzel do not want to incur the additional costs of keeping kosher, or want to use treif ingredients.
Some question the connection between kashrut and Jewish identity, as a minority of American Jews keep kosher. Even landmark restaurants like Katz's Deli, Sammy's Roumanian, and Russ and Daughters are not actually kosher, but kosher-style.
Meanwhie, kosher food does not always mean traditionally Jewish. Kosher restaurants include everything from pizza to sushi to French steakhouses.

I know it's a nod to the past and the history of the Virgin brand but for a new, contemporary, lavish cruise line image that they appear to be aiming for, it doesn't exactly fit does it?

Bored with her pack life, Fel trotted out of the clearing once the sun began to set. Quinn would be safely in her den by now and any intrusion that far into their territories would not go unnoticed by others. Not long after the border markers were left behind, the huge fae took off at a full gallop. Her limbs stretched and coiled rhythmically as the older fae bounded across forest and plains, tail streaming behind her in the cold wind. As the moon slowly gained height, her destination drifted closer to her as her paws thundered against the snow-covered earth, each stride accommodated by a crushing noise. Obsidian ears fell flat against her large head in determination while she examined the mountainside she was charging straight at. The actual slope was quite unpredictable and shielded from examination by a frozen blanket; the gravel leading up to it was cemented by chilled slush. A smile curled at the lips of the Guardian. How perfect this was… It was so much like her home pack's territories, but yet the timeframe was different. There would be no gruff voice barking at her from some ledge, or warning her of an approaching mountain lion. No wolf would be calling for Blackfur. For all anyone knew, Blackfur was dead. But now more than ever, she felt the spirit of her old form, and it was very much alive.
A scratch of claws on rock disturbed the night, then followed by a moment of silence. Raven limbs then sunk into the snow, several feet up from the launching site. Fel glanced down over her shoulder, then began to steadily make her way up, testing each foothold with a cautious prod before continuing. It would seem that this was a slow pace for someone so experienced in mountainous terrain, yet she knew the cost of foolishness. Many times she had seen yearlings who thought they were kings and queens of the slopes proven wrong and destroyed by the land they thought they owned. A wolf could own territory, but all will submit to the forces of the land and Mother Nature. Icy hues flickered around as she reached a high ledge that seemed to follow the very crest of this mountain. Finding this path a little more stable than scaling her way to the top, she chose it instead. Careful not to tread close to the edge, Fel walked aimlessly, keeping her ears pricked and searching for any sign of life of danger. Luckily, there seemed to be nothing in her proximity. The lonely trail eventually ended in a drop-off, the shelf-like path expanding into a large platform. It was clearly a frequently visited spot by wolves and wildlife alike, and the fae could easily see why. It provided an excellent panoramic view of the location and was fairly protected from the elements by one wall of rock because of the mountain. Fel padded around the perimeter and noticed a thinner, less used trail that lead down the side opposite to that from which she came but felt no need in running down it. Instead, she sat down in the thin layer of snow a foot away from the edge of the cliff. Her body became still in her seat, not moving besides a flicker of her ears and her ever-wandering colorless eyes. Intermediately, a gust of wind would bombard her and attempt to penetrate her well-adapted pelt in vain. Somehow, the silence and cold of Isle de Muerto was absolutely calming to her. Most creatures were resting at this hour of the high moon, yet some, she knew, would be on the prowl. Nostrils flaring, Fel took in the clean air and filtered through the scents, glad to find no predators currently around her perch or above her. Yet she could sense that she was not alone in the wilds. Something was moving somewhere below. With a silent huff, she remained as she was on her watch, like an onyx statue in the moonlight. Her gaze travelled around the ledge she was on, studying it to make sure she was well acquainted with her choice of resting spot. If an unexpected series of events led to a fight, she wanted to be prepared. Preparation for the worst scenarios was always in her mind as it had been beaten into her as a pup. But there was no sense in jumping the gun and fleeing to a more hidden location. Fel would be patient and wait for whatever it was to come her way if it had any desire to.

Further and further he trekked up the snow-blown slope on steady, assured paws. He glanced over the sharp, jagged edge of the ledge to his left, peering down at the strip of slate grey and white that was the snow-ridden ground beneath. It was precarious on these peaks which were narrow and dead-ended, fragmented. He wasn't high up but Tye could already feel the wind sweeping by in vicious gusts, knifing through his winter fur to try to claw at his flesh. His winter coat, much thicker and shaggier than his normal pelt, provided ample protection from the weather. The Lead Warrior was large, a rock-hard muscle-bound gladiator with a calm strength about him in the way he moved and held himself. Never wavering, never slowing down. Assured in his actions and movements. His head went down slightly, a natural reaction to the cruel winds that buffeted him. His coarse black fur whipped wildly, teasing it out. Ahead, the path twisted to the left. He soldiered onwards, snow tumbling off the edges as he moved on. Below him was nothing but a plummet to the ground, crevasses embedded deep into the mountain. Beautiful in its own way really. Above him were gigantic peaks, pointing towards the air like spires. This was Tye's second time here and it was just as sublime and wild as before yet also serene. It was nature in all its finest glory, untamed and unrelenting. He padded upwards, puffs of air escaping from his cold nose as his breaths came out in steady rhythm to find shelter. Again, Tye had sought out treacherous, difficult terrain to train in in the worst weather possible. But he had survived worse. He needed to find shelter soon though or he would probably get frostbite.
Turning the corner, he spied another wolf perched on the ledge further ahead, a moonlit figure. A female with a pelt and eyes like his. She was gazing out over the edge at the view, studying it keenly. If Tye had to guess he would have guessed Helidos and further confirmed it when another gust of wind bombarded them, shovelling snow off the ledge in one vicious swoop. The scent invaded his senses and he identified it immediately as that of the rival pack. He slowed to a stop, gazing evenly across at the fae with striking, ice blue eyes that stood out against a ruggedly handsome face of black fur. Underneath the sparse moonlight his pelt gleamed slightly, making his eyes lighter and colder than they already appeared to be. The area she was standing on was wide enough to comfortably fit more wolves. She seemed relatively peaceful. But then again, compared to Erenyx everyone else was a veritable angel. The Lead Warrior turned his head slightly, catching the light of the moon and stilled, tail coming to a stop behind his hind legs. Then he approached her, coming to a stop a short distance beside her to sit down. His broad, wide shoulders were back, form tall and quietly confident. When he spoke it was deep and powerful, the voice seeming to rumble from his chest,
"Hello there Helidos Guardian. Enjoying the cold?"
A guardian was what she seemed to be to him. He did not know if it was true or not but if she bit, or reacted he would know.

She was not wrong. Within some minutes, a faint Erenyx scent drifted in the air and approached, interrupted several times by unfavorable winds. The gusts of air buffeted her pelt thoroughly, but did not chill her or make her move a muscle. In the corner of her vision, a dark figure walked along, pausing at the sight of her. Fel did not care to acknowledge the insignificant wolf until he sat down not far from her and spoke. Her form was already in a tall, calmly confident seated position and did not alter in the slightest when he mimicked her. They were very similar in general appearance, though her fur was longer and sleeker than his scruffy pelt. An onyx ear flicked towards him to hear the words clearly over the winds. Without taking her icy gaze off of the landscape, she uttered a reply.
"Why would I not enjoy something I was born in and bred to endure?"
He had made a guess at her rank and was successful. It was almost pleasing to know that she carried herself in the manner of a guardian. Finally she turned her head to look at the brute directly, noticing that even their eyes were similar in their cold color. Her gaze raked over his pelt in a quick inspection, deciding that he was a warrior of sorts. His confidence, which she hoped would not result in cockiness and entice her to shove him off of the ledge, suggested he had a more exclusive rank. Fel's voice was deep for a fae, but came out with less of a rumble and more of the scathing smoothness of ice.
"My proper name is Guardian Fel, though I suppose Helidos Guardian would be acceptable. And what of you… Lead Warrior of Erenyx, I assume? Do you bear a name?"
She was not at all intimidated by the significantly younger brute beside her. After all, the only wolf she feared in her life was her own father since in her opinion there was indeed no devil more dangerous or menacing. Her emotionless, uninterested gaze drifted towards his, awaiting a reply before looking once more toward the scenery. The raven fae watched the gorge below for a moment, then the mountain opposite of them. An ear remained pointed towards the enemy brute. She would notice if he stirred a single paw on the cold rock underneath them. The fae did not think that he would be stupid enough to attack an older Guardian on this ledge where one false step could send them both plummeting towards a quick death, but her body was trained to always be in a fluidly tensed state. This made it easier for her to react if a sudden, unanticipated attack was to occur. Silently, she lifted her chin as the bone-chilling wind launched yet another attack. It lifted and ruffled her fur; she found the effect on her neck fur extremely pleasant. Once the wind died down for a few more minutes, Fel asked in her usual tone,
"So what brings you here?"

He chuckled. Indeed why not? He had been half-jesting when he had spoken. It was interesting to meet someone who had actually been born in the mountains. Raised on rough terrain. Raised in a place where one had to be always resilient, tough. Where the only two options were to sink or swim. Somehow, the silence wasn't unsettling between the pair. Or that's what he felt anyway. It was understood between them. That they were of different packs. That in another circumstance, another situation they would've been trying to kill each other. That they were on a precarious ledge with a sure-fire drop to certain death. That any kind of attack would result in at least one of them dying or getting fatally injured. So they both kept their guards up, wary and cautious but oddly enough, relaxed. There weren't many options to win as there wasn't enough space to fight and the terrain was too dangerous. He wondered if she thought he wanted to fight. He may as well as been brainless if that was the case. Fighting was only useful when another wanted blood, not to talk. And he had no interest in doing anything but peering out at the brilliant, snow-laden scenery. Just snow and frost and wind. Nothing like it. Yep, nothing at all. He wondered how old the female was. She was bigger than average but she carried herself like someone who had seen a lot in her time. She was possibly a couple or a few years older than him. Then again, Tye had never been adept at estimating ages. Tye himself was almost 4 years old now, having joined when he was 3. He was raw strength personified. A hulking, powerful force. But he used his strength when it was needed, not wildly and recklessly. Did being Lead Warrior mean he had to jump at every opportunity to fight as well? Granted, she was the enemy. It was a steep fall and a long way to the bottom. But they would probably both die. And Tye was alive, kicking as it were. She was as he had estimated, a Guardian. But despite their respective packs out here she was a lone wolf just like him. Where rank was irrelevant and stature and confidence reigned supreme. She held herself tall and proud, which he respected because her aura to him resembled one who was secure in herself.
She had a deep voice for a fae. Not unusual but not common either. It was smooth, undeniably so. And he noticed, now that he had taken a good look at her that her appearance was close to identical with his. The same black fur, the same icy blue eyes. Maybe they were long-lost twins. Except his pelt was, of course, rougher than hers. His lips creased, a faint smile threatening to tug at the corners of them as she went on with the formalities.
"Pleasure to meet you on this fine, winter night Fel."
His words were wrought with sarcasm. Winter could be a fine night for some but not for others. But in the context of his words, the night was anything but fine in the conventional sense. But the Guardian was enjoying it. Tye was indifferent. If he was an element, he was more earth and ice combined, with a bend towards pure earth instead of ice-covered earth. He lowered his muzzle to her slightly in a pantomime display of respect. It was half-mocking for he was well aware she was the enemy despite where they were. If he were ordered to kill her then he would have no choice. Though, personally he wouldn't have preferred it.
The wind came again, sweeping more snow past them. He gazed out over at the land-scape, responding wryly after some thought,
"The stars and the moon I suppose. Who doesn't love the constellations? And the scenery. Nothing but white all around. And you? Is Helidos too boring for a demon like yourself?"

((Terribly sorry for the wait. I was busy with irl stuff.))
A pleasure to meet her? The voice in her mind mocked a scoff then smiled in its faceless way.
"Oh no.
The pleasure is all mine
Fel replied in a voice that threw his same sarcastic edge back at him, the words rolling off her tongue naturally. Still, despite their exchanging of words, she did not move her gaze away from the shadowed snow beyond them. The guardian did keep an ear directed his way and could see his form out of the corner of her vision, but otherwise seemed uninterested in his presence. This was not true, as she was monitoring him in these indirect ways and still listening. There seemed to be a pause, a wonderful silence. The two of them quietly sitting on the ledge of a mountain that would be fatal to fall from… It was serenity at its finest. Many wolves found their most peaceful spots in spring meadows or autumn forests, yet Fel only enjoyed places like these – where winds were moaning on the heights.They were cold, desolate, and best of all, lethal. She loved it. She was born and raised in it. One might even say she was the child of it. Fel was hard as rock and cold as ice, like she was meant to be. 'Blackfur' they used to call her… Her parents were wrong to do so. She was tainted and proud to be so. 'Fel' was the perfect prefix from which to take her name. Demonic.
Her thoughts flickered away when the brute mentioned his name. The black membranes of her lips curved into a smirk.
"What a pretty name."
As soon as her words were uttered, a gust of wind sent a pawful or so of snow cascading off of the cliff. It landed silently, so the point of impact was unclear. Tye began to speak of the stars and moon above. The fae was taught to believe that her ancestors lived among the stars, though it did not really matter. Her home pack's law stated that once a wolf is exiled, even their ancestors abandon them. If any of this was true, then they were some lousy ancestors indeed. Fel's gaze flickered up above her briefly as he continued. Her smirk grew into a slight smile for a moment when he called her a demon, then faded altogether.
"After you've seen so many packs in a lifetime, all of them are boring,"
her voice rolled on,
"I have no real reason for coming here besides enjoying the bone-chilling weather and dangerous environment. Reminds me of my younger days."
The fae looked almost directly down, frame still tall but her head was clearly pointed towards the drop before them as she studied the land below. Slowly, a smile that borderlined sadism crept across her snout. In an almost cheery tone, she added,
"I've seen so many wolves fall off ledges like these. So many pups… They were the weak and the stupid. The superior in strength and intellect would not slip so easily."
It was not clear whether she was being sarcastic or simply maniacal, though it was a bit of both.
"I'm Russian. I don't ignore people who annoy me... I exterminate them." - Me

"Of course. You were here before me so the pleasure received is yours,"
Tye replied smoothly. He almost laughed. It was interesting to meet someone who didn't seem to take themselves so seriously. He turned his head slightly downwards to the right as he spied something moving, the haphazard fur on the back of his neck shaking with the movement. Tye was usually a calm wolf, not one for spontaneous or random outbursts of emotion but sometimes his appearance deemed otherwise. It suggested he was maniacal and insane which was a sharp contrast to his actual personality. But he didn't care to tame that part of him. It was better and it proved valuable to deter those who gave into fear easily. It helped to separate the lambs from the lions so to speak. Appearances were facades, illusions that disguised what a wolf truly was on the inside. And perhaps this Guardian from Helidos, Fel, could understood that as well or had similar ideas. She had come in search of peace it seemed. In a land that suited her interests and habits. For now the mountains showed what she was, separate from her appearance. On the outside, a demon. On the inside, a soul that was hardened. That felt at home in an unforgiving, relentless environment. Circumstances had brought them together but it had also granted them some form of commonality despite being from rival packs. He sought a reprieve, a moment of peace from training and moving. He, from Erenyx, the demonic pack, was seeking peace. And she too, was doing the same under the strangest conditions. Knowing that at any minute, they could destroy each other but maintaining a farce of civility while scene-gazing was irony at its finest. Truth be told, Tye had never cared for the stars much but he could appreciate their beauty all the same. He straightened his head, raising a paw to brush some snow off his head.
"Mm my father loved me so much he gave me a name that I would be proud of much to my mother's dismay,"
Tye said, not missing a beat. That wasn't true, not really but the black wolf was not one to reveal what he was truly feeling or thinking to anyone to wolves he had just met, much less information about himself.
He also didn't care much for diplomacy but he understood the need for it. Even Erenyx, for all its famed barbarism and injustice, possessed some silvers of it. It was generally understood that when the Alpha was killed, the killer was the new Alpha and took his place. That was an agreement between the individual and the group and not to be broken. That was the law of the land. That was diplomacy in practice at its barest form. If it had been broken by them attacking the new Alpha then diplomacy was broken until one of them declared themselves the Alpha by killing the new Alpha then diplomacy would be restored. It was really an endless cycle but it was one that could be broken so easily if the precious gems of civility that Erenyx had were abandoned. He caught her smiling slightly, her smirk sliding easily into a more pleasant smile. A momentary sight that was visible for a fleeting second but still there nevertheless. She enjoyed the name it seemed. The first he had encountered who entertained the notion of
being wholly good and pure. Of indulging in their evil side so to speak. Would an Erenyx wolf ever do the same? To indulge fully in the better part of themselves? The
half. Without reservations. Perhaps one had already and perhaps there would come a time when he would have to defend at as well. Defending in a time of anarchy and revolution weren't without their sacrifices. He looked at her and said, joking,
"Join us. We have a mountain far more dangerous than this and a river that's as wild as the winds here."
He was joking of course and would have been surprised if she'd taken him seriously. Her head moved, angled so that she was looking down. Before he asked what she thinking about she started to smile in a weird, almost sadistic way and spoke in a way that was not quite unexpected considering her expression. But he had seen stranger things. He listened to her, rugged features unchanging. Her words unaffected him. He had seen things like that happen before and he had felt no sympathy for them at the time when he had been a pup. He guessed the Helidos Guardian was being sarcastic with a hint of mania.
"Maybe. I guess that makes us the pinnacle of achievement. So tell me Fel, what was your puphood like? You sound like you've seen a lot of pups die this way, from their own foolishness."

BME Lecture Series: Hina Chaudhry, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Associate Professor of Medicine
Director of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine
Abstract: The inability of the adult mammalian heart to regenerate after injury has prompted the need for novel gene and cell-based therapies that can repopulate lost myocytes and restore contractile function in heart disease. We have previously characterized the role of cyclin A2 in cardiomyocyte mitosis and a critical role for cyclin A2 in cardiac repair in murine, rat and porcine models of myocardial infarction. In the porcine model, one-time administration of vector delivery of cyclin A2 resulted in a 55% increase in the number of peri-infarct cardiomyocytes compared with animals receiving a control null virus with significant restoration of contractility as assessed with multimodality imaging including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We are now in the process of designing human clinical trials using cyclin A2.
We also have discovered a functional role for fetal maternal microchimerism in cardiac regeneration. Fetal cells home to injured maternal hearts, differentiating into diverse cardiac cell types. When isolated and cultured, they recapitulate these differentiation pathways and form vascular tubes and spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes. The fetal cells displayed a variety of stem/progenitor cell markers, but notably, approximately 40% expressed Cdx2, a member of the Caudal domain homeobox family of proteins. We have now shown that Cdx2 cells isolated from end-gestation placenta specifically differentiate to beating cardiomyocytes, and vascular cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, they regenerate the heart when injected intravenously even into male mice with significant enhancement of cardiac function as assessed with MRI. Proteomics and immune transcriptomics studies of Cdx2-eGFP cells compared to embryonic stem (ES) cells reveal that they appear to retain 'stem'-related functions of ES cells, but exhibit unique signatures supporting roles in homing and survival, with an ability to evade immune surveillance, critical for cell-based therapy. These studies complement our ongoing efforts to identify new factors and cell types that can repair diseased hearts.
Bio: Hina Chaudhry, MD is an associate professor of medicine and director of cardiovascular regenerative medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Chaudhry was previously the Florence Irving Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. She holds multiple patents in the areas of cell cycle manipulation for heart repair and the use of placental stem cells for heart repair.

Man City 2-0 Cardiff: Manchester City moved back above Liverpool at the top of the Premier League after easing to victory against struggling Cardiff.
An eighth successive league win for the defending champions was seldom in doubt and means they lead Jurgen Klopp's team by a point with six games remaining.
Pep Guardiola's side, who are chasing an unprecedented quadruple, know they will finish top if they win their remaining matches but it is unlikely many of them will be as straightforward as this one.
Kevin de Bruyne took just five minutes to open the scoring with his first league goal since 22 December, running on to Aymeric Laporte's pass and squeezing his shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle.
More Manchester City possession and chances followed, before Leroy Sane made it 2-0 just before half-time, burying his shot into the bottom corner after a neat chested knock-down from Gabriel Jesus.
Cardiff, who remain five points adrift of safety, barely threatened at the other end and did not register an effort at goal or a touch in the home area until Junior Hoilett had a hopeful shot blocked at the very end of the first half.
They did not manage a serious foray forward until Oumar Niasse broke away to force Ederson into a fine save after 85 minutes, while Manchester City continued to pepper Neil Etheridge's goal with shots.
Phil Foden had two efforts brilliantly stopped by Etheridge as he tried unsuccessfully to mark his first league start with a goal, while Jesus saw an elaborate flick fly wide when it appeared easy to tap the ball home, with his blushes saved by an offside flag.
Despite failing to add to their tally in the second half, Manchester City's goal difference is now nine better than Liverpool's – although the Reds can replace them at the top if they win at Southampton on Friday.
City's squad steps up to secure win
The home side's superiority meant they were able to coast through large parts of this game, but they face a punishing schedule if they are to become the first English team to manage a clean sweep across four fronts.
They will play twice a week for the rest of April, with their next two tests against Brighton in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday and Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.
All of Manchester City's squad will surely play some part in a the next few weeks, so it must have been reassuring for Guardiola to see some of his lesser-used players in such convincing form here.
With Sergio Aguero injured and Raheem Sterling left on the bench, it was left to Jesus to lead the line and although he did not manage a goal himself, his non-stop running frequently opened up spaces for others.
Like Jesus, Riyad Mahrez has also been short of first-team starts recently. One early misplaced pass brought groans from his side's fans but he continued to look lively and should have had a penalty when he was fouled in the box in the second half.
Foden forced Etheridge into a fine save and hit the post in the second-half as he looked completely at ease in his surroundings, understandable given his first-team appearances in other competitions, while a fit-again De Bruyne is clearly a huge boost to City's hopes.
The only cloud on an otherwise pretty much perfect night was an early injury to Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has made the left-back slot his own since the start of the year.
Cardiff can have no complaints about this result
Huddersfield and Fulham have already been relegated from the Premier League and Cardiff are fighting to avoid joining them.
The Bluebirds did nothing to improve their situation here, but their survival prospects were always going to depend more on how they fare in their next two games – away at Burnley and Brighton, who are two of the three teams immediately above them – than their result against Guardiola's team.
Several key decisions went against the Bluebirds in their defeat by Chelsea on Sunday, bringing a furious reaction from manager Neil Warnock, but on this occasion he cannot argue that his side deserved more than they got.
Their attempts to keep the home side out looked doomed to failure from the moment Jesus missed a De Bruyne cross by a matter of millimetres just 30 seconds into the game, and things did not improve much from that point.
If Niasse had taken his chance when he ran clear, then the visitors might have made the final five minutes of the game into more of a contest, but Cardiff were clearly second best throughout.
He is ready' – what they said
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "We played really well. We started really well. A magnificent goal from Kevin de Bruyne. Unfortunately we missed a lot of chances; we need to score more goals.
"Phil Foden played excellently. He did everything, arriving in the right positions with the right tempo. He always has chances, has a sense of goal. He's ready, we know it, to play any game in any position.
"He competes with David Silva, Kevin, [Ilkay] Gundogan, Bernardo [Silva]. He trains incredible."
On whether Sergio Aguero be fit for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final: "We will see on Aguero…"
Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock: "I don't think my players could've given us any more. I was disappointed to concede early doors. They move it so quickly, it is difficult.
"It would have been interesting if we scored at the end to see how nervous we could have made them, but I have to be pleased.
"The first goal – Neil Etheridge played really well – he knew he should've saved it. I shouted to Kevin de Bruyne at half-time: 'Kevin, did you mean that? Tell me the truth.' He said: 'No I didn't.' So I can let Neil off, although he should still save it!"
On Cardiff's survival chances: "You can afford the odd draw but I think we have to win three at least, add a draw and who knows?"
Fortress Etihad – the stats
- Manchester City have won 23 of their 25 home matches across all competitions in 2018-19 (L2), including 16 of 17 in the Premier League (L1).
- Only Chelsea in 2004-05 (31 games) and Manchester City last season (30 games) have reached 80 points (assuming three points for a win) in fewer games in English top-flight history than City have this season (32 games).
- Cardiff remain the only side in Premier League history to have never won a midweek match (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) in the competition (P11 W0 D3 L8). They have scored just two goals in their 11 such fixtures.
- Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has lost all eight of his managerial league matches against the reigning top-flight champions, including six in the Premier League; only Paul Jewell (eight) and Paul Lambert (seven) have a poorer 100% loss rate against reigning champions in the competition.
- Only Blackburn Rovers (18 in 1994-95) have ever scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of their games in a single Premier League season than Manchester City have in 2018-19 (17).
- Leroy Sane has had a hand in 24 goals in his past 21 appearances at Etihad Stadium for Manchester City in all competitions (nine goals, 15 assists).
- With an average age of 25 years and 139 days, Manchester City's starting XI against Cardiff was their youngest in a Premier League match since April 2011 against Sunderland (24 years 341 days).
- Phil Foden (18 years 310 days) was the youngest player to make his first Premier League start for Manchester City since Jose Pozo against Leicester in December 2014 (18 years 273 days), and youngest English player to do so since Daniel Sturridge in January 2008 against Derby (18 years 151 days).
What's next?
City head for Wembley for the fourth time this season this weekend to face Brighton (17:30 BST, live on BBC One), having won on all three previous visits – the Community Shield, Spurs in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup final.
Cardiff have the weekend off. They are next in action at Burnley on 13 April (15:00).

The pros and cons of using a John Huxley Wheel for Fun Casinos
Update:: The wheel above is no longer for sale. If you're looking for a better, lightweight alternative, please see our recent post where you'll find a listing for fun casino roulette wheel and equipment for sale.
There's no doubt about it, one of the world leaders in stunning, precision roulette wheel manufacturing is John Huxley. You can find their wheels in plush casinos all around the world from Vegas to Monte Carlo and they have built up a reputation for a broad range of high-quality casino products including tables and other accessories.
If you hire a fun casino for your event, you'll sometimes see them on a roulette table right in front of you. Whilst you can buy lightweight roulette wheels that are specifically made for the fun casino industry, they're fairly expensive to buy brand new. It's mainly the price tag that sees many fun casino operators scouring eBay looking for a cheaper alternative.
John Huxley roulette wheels will set you back a pretty penny if you buy one new but you can actually pick up a used one for a fairly modest price on eBay; typically a few hundred pounds for one that's got a few dings in it.
The pros
A genuine, well-maintained ex-casino wheel spins for an eternity!. Well, OK, maybe not that long but you get the point. If you look after it, it really doesn't need any maintenance but if you leave it in a shed or lock-up, expect the chrome plated turret to begin to rust over time. It's also made of really high-quality materials and these wheels are an exception, precision bit of kit; as they're found in real casinos, they need to be. If you've never set foot in a casino, you can still see these roulette wheels on many of the online and live TV gambling channels.
They look fabulous at fun casino events. We've seen a few horrors in our time that look like they've been thrown down a flight of stairs but if you see a good one, it really is a thing of beauty. They're also "full-size", meaning that they're 80cm in diameter which is of course nothing like the size of the cheaper plastic ones you can pick up for a few pounds on eBay or Amazon.
The cons
We used to use these wheels at all of our events as they certainly do add a certain panache to the setup. However, there are a few cons... and they're pretty big ones. If they get damaged, they're expensive to repair so you need to constantly make sure no one spills alcohol or sticky, sugary drinks in them. They also constantly suffer from the danger of chips, knocks and dents at fun casino jobs. It's really easy to bash a door frame or catch them on a stone step. If you want to keep these wheels in tip-top condition, you may need the services of a skilled French polisher to bring them back up to spec. The alternative is to carry them around in bespoke wooden transport containers but this adds to the overall weight and would need two people to pick one of them up.
With all this being said, by far the biggest problem with John Huxley roulette wheels at fun casino events is their sheer weight. As they're precision engineered, they're extremely heavy; around 75KGs worth of heavy. If they're in a real casino, this isn't a problem as they always stay in one place but if you're moving them from venue to venue, week in and week out, you need pretty strong arms. Even taking the centre out of them whilst in transport only helps a bit. They are still difficult to even lift up onto the roulette table unless you're a regular on the weights at your local gym.
In summary, whilst they look fab and are cheap to buy secondhand, they're just not practical for fun casinos and there are now some really, really beautiful lightweight alternatives that look equally stunning but are much lighter to carry. We now use these instead as, whilst they represent a significant initial outlay, they're the same size, look just as impressive and are far more easy to carry around.

Has the automatic support tool replaced the ability to mark any primitive as support? I'm no longer able to mark a primitive as a support unless I'm overlooking something. Version 18.104.22.16857 (stable release)
Any chance of future versions having tree type supports similar to Cura? It would be nice to have the supports originate all on the bed for some prints.

Your first triathlon can be an intimidating experience. Aside from all of your training and mental preparations for the big race, you also need to think about your race gear…and things can get expensive…fast.
Breaking the bank on a sport you haven't yet really tried isn't the smartest move, so we've put together some beginner triathlon gear essentials that will help you get kitted up in style without putting yourself in the poorhouse.
Beginner Triathlon Gear Essentials
The Swim
The importance of good goggles can't be overstated. You don't want water leaking in as you compete in the first, and often most intimidating part of your race. The litmus test for goggles is whether they stick to your eye sockets (without a strap) after you press them in place. We personally like goggles that give us greater peripheral view than the traditional. Some tint to the lenses is also preferred because glare can be a distraction on a sunny race day.
Jammers or Tri-suits
Swimsuits aren't optional in a triathlon, unless you are at some sort of endurance-racing clothing-optional resort. We wouldn't suggest hitting the water in your loose board shorts or bikini either, as these are neither optimized for drag nor optimized to stay on after getting pulled and kicked by your fellow racers (it happens). Tri-suits are the preferred item of clothing of male triathletes, but another alternative is Jammers or Tri-shorts. Jammers are relatively low cost and create little drag in the water. Women should go with a durable bathing suit (not prone to a "wardrobe malfunction"), tri-shorts + sports bra that can be worn under water or a tri-suit.
Other notes:
Don't buy a triathlon wetsuit for your first race, rent. Most races have rentals on site. Wetsuits not only protect you from the cold, they also provide some helpful extra buoyancy. Most races include color-coded bathing caps in your race kit, so you won't need to purchase.
The Bike
A Bike
Triathlon bike selection is a whole topic onto itself. The big question that faces more casual triathloners is whether to invest in a road bike or a dedicated triathlon bike (the geometry is different on both). Our suggestion for your first race is not to buy a bike at all, but rather use whatever bike you already have (be it a mountain bike, an old road bike) or borrow a race bike from a friend. The bike should be a good fit for your body type though, so you might want to take the time to visit a bike shop and get a sense of the frame size that is best for you, or self size yourself using this tool.
Still there are those that start a sport and have to get the gear, and so if you are a gear hound, know that many triathletes find the ubiquitous Cervelo P2 to be the best tri-bike for the money.
A moisture wicking shirt
You need will need a tank or a tee to wear during the bike and run (some races force you to wear one) here you can go the inexpensive route or go for a bona fide tri-top. Tri-tops are definitely pricier, so if it is your first tri we recommend something basic.
A Helmet
You are required to wear a skid lid while competing in a triathlon. Remember: you aren't going for a leisurely Sunday ride, this is a race and there are crashes. Choose a helmet that fits snugly yet comfortably with ample ventilation so that your noggin doesn't overheat.
A Number Belt
Many would say that this isn't essential, and we suppose they would be right (you can use safety pins to attach your number to your shirt), but these can be a sub $10 item is an inexpensive convenience, and we find them very comfortable. Reminder that you can be DQed if you aren't wearing your race bib, so don't forget it.
Other notes
Make sure to eat during the bike if you are doing a race of significant distance. We find energy bars too dry to eat on the bike. Energy chews are a great bet (be sure to open the package for easy access before you start the race). We like Gu Chomps
The Run
The "Right" Running Shoes
Buying a good pair of shoes is a must and this is an area where you shouldn't skimp on research or money. This isn't to say that your ideal shoes need to be $200…quite the contrary, as some elite runners swear by lower-priced runners. But you should take the time to determine the best shoes for you and be willing to invest in the ones that are most suited to you and comfortable. Considerations when buying running shoes include your arch shape (high arch, normal arch or flat footed) and your running biomechanics (Neutral, pronation, supination). We suggest that you go to brick and mortal store dedicated to running or endurance racing first and work with an expert to determine the best shoe for you. Then, price the shoes online to make sure that you are getting a fair deal. Click here to learn more about how to buy the running shoe that is best for you.
Other notes
Though not a necessity, speed laces are a great, low-cost addition to your running shoes, allowing you to save some time in the transition area(you can pick up some speed laces here)Also, if it's sunny, a light running hat will give you a little protection from the sun.
Those are the beginner triathlon gear essentials, we hope it was helpful and that you enjoy your first triathlon.

Winter is finally upon us. Or rather, it is here. Tis the season to hide under your blankets and binge watch all the episodes of your favourite season.

Shortly before the machines, spares and team members head off to Australia for the first round of the
2013 championship, media, sponsors and VIP guests had the chance to see the latest race version of the
official Ninja ZX-10R in its full glory.
The guests were also treated to a visual presentation of what it takes to turn a completely stock Ninja
ZX-10R into a Superbike World Championship contender, with parts of the SBK machine also laid out
one-by-one alongside a stock roadgoing bike and the full Superbike racing spec machine.
The event was held, appropriately enough, inside the Fostering Arts and Design complex, which like the
Ninja ZX-10R is famous for being on the cutting edge of modern design.
Speakers included both riders; 2012 championship runner-up Tom Sykes and proven race winner Loris
Baz. Team Manger Guim Roda, Kawasaki Europe Director Shigemi Tanaka, and Kawasaki Europe
Racing Manager Steve Guttridge also addressed their guests before the new bike was proudly unveiled
by Tanaka-san, Loris and Tom.
Guim Roda, Team Manager: "I want to say thanks to the mechanics and the Kawasaki staff, who from the
beginning supported us strongly in this project. We have to consider that from the beginning this was a
kind of team-building job, which now allows us to explain how we build the bike to take it to the level of
competing in the Superbike World Championship. I also want to say thanks to everybody who has helped
us, especially our suppliers, the Motocard family, all the team who have worked to let us be here today
and who will help us to have more success in the future."
Shigemi Tanaka, Director Kawasaki Motors Europe: "I am honoured to be here to represent Kawasaki
Motors Europe and KHI Japan, which are responsible for the World Superbike racing project. Five years
ago Kawasaki joined forces with a new and young team called Provec, who managed our World
Supersport effort in Europe. They provided an excellent overall effort for Kawasaki. Just last year the
Provec team were rewarded by being promoted to assist our factory engineers in Japan, to develop our
official World Superbike racing effort. Technically, the team are at a very high level and all the staff work
hand-in-hand with our technical partners around the world to provide a race-winning package - the
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. Kawasaki regards our investment in both the Provec team and the World
Superbike Championship as money very well spent. So we are very happy to be here again, in beautiful
Barcelona, to launch the official Kawasaki Racing Team and to look at our amazing 2013 Ninja ZX-10R
race bike, delivered by Provec. We wish the team, its staff, its riders and everybody involved in the racing
programme the very best of success over the 2013 season."
Having already enjoyed some extremely positive testing experiences since the end of the 2012 SBK
season the Kawasaki Racing Team heads to the first round in Australia full of confidence and expectation
for a strong 2013.

Ralph Lauren's Beer, Bikers, and Cheeseburgers
Talk about a cheeseburger in paradise: Ralph Lauren unexpectedly decided to host a biker-themed shindig at his Double RL store in Paris. Attended by only the chicest motorcyclists in Paris, the event was a casual mess of Sam Adams beer, cheeseburgers, and an unprecedented number of denim-clad guests. The Boulevard Saint Germain store has likely never seen so many bikers at the store at one time.
The "RRL Riders Tour", as the affair was called, invited guests to peruse antique gas station curios and visit 200 of the world's most tricked-out bikes. If such activities weren't enticing enough, attendees could choose to take a miniature 61.5 mile motorbike ride, courtesy of Mr. Lauren. Upon arriving back at the store, guests indulged in the casual fare and listened to the country tunes of singer Fiona Culley.
Perhaps due to some combination of Ralph Lauren's quintessentially preppy vibe, and the stars-and-stripes emblazoned Olympic Opening Ceremony sweaters, I was more than slightly astonished at the Lauren's relaxed soiree. After all, this is a designer whose storied Madison Avenue boutique is housed in the grandiose limestone Rhinelander Mansion, and whose recent collections look as though they belong on the characters of The Great Gatsby. However, Lauren's obsession with a good pair of worn-in jeans is a well-documented fact, and the designer has flirted with biker style before, thanks to his 1950s childhood spent in the Bronx. Whatever the reasoning behind Lauren's sudden renewal of interest in the biker scene, it seems that the designer will go about it in his signature, sophisticated manner.

She taught English to mature students, then went into working with the elderly and that's where she discovered her talent for writing. Patricia wrote, directed, starred in and toured with the hilariously funny 'I'll Tell Me Ma', the story of four generations of a West Belfast family and the ups and downs they face.
The play is about to open at the Mac for a two-week run and will then tour 18 venues across the north. However, there is one major difference with this production: Patricia has handed the producer reins Joe Rea and her part will now be played by the fabulously funny Christina Nelson (star of 'Handbag Positive'). Speaking to the Belfast Media Group, Patricia said: "I cannot wait to see my play through the audience's eyes for the first time ever. This has been my baby for over five years now and people keep asking me how I feel about someone else stepping into my role and I have to say I'm really excited. I was getting very tired performing all the time but at the same time I didn't want to give the play up, so Joe Rea Productions came into my life at exactly the right time. I feel very privileged that he wanted my play – not a bad achievement for a granny!
"I was doing a charity night in the PD and Christina Nelson was directing me and that's where Joe Rea approached me and asked me if I would be willing to do a two-week run in the Mac. I told him I couldn't do it every night as it would be too much for me, I'm in my 60s now. We agreed that Christina would be perfect in my place."
Patricia discovered her passion for writing while she was working with the elderly.
"I was a supervisor in a fold and I didn't want the residents to be playing bingo all day so I decided to do creative writing with them. We wrote and performed our own plays. We were doing a play on the Shankill Road one evening and a girl called Lesley Johnston approached me and asked me if I would like to do a one-woman show. I said 'Funny you should mention that, I've actually got an idea for one' and two weeks later I'll Tell Me Ma was written. I played the four characters. It's based on my own life and experiences, it shows you the changes a year can make in a person's life. There is something in the play for everyone, men and women of all ages, even teenagers love it. As well as being a comedy it tackles social issues such as grief, old age, finding coping mechanisms and fulfilling your ambitions."
I'll Tell Me Ma deals with the heartbreaking effects of a young girl's death and is based on the death of Patricia's 18-year-old sister.
"That part of the play was always so tough for me to get through. The tears I shed on stage were real. Because it's not such a personal issue for Christina I think she will play it in a completely different way. I honestly wouldn't have wanted anyone else to play my part only Christina."
I'll Tell Me Ma takes a trip through West Belfast from the Falls Road to Andersonstown to Twin-brook. It's a laugh-out-loud show about the ups and downs of family life with the important message that whatever life throws at us, we can get through it with a bit of love and laughter.
I'll Tell Me Ma is at the Mac Theatre from January 18 to February 4. To book tickets telephone 02890 235053 or visit themaclive.com
