We land in Perth, Western Australia, where we spend some time earning some money for the trip. After a year and a half of hard work we resume the journey.
We land in Perth, Western Australia, where we spend some time earning some money for the trip. We start by working on a cow farm and discover the evil hidden behind the milk cartons at the supermarket. We also stop to work in the city: Davide is engaged in thousands of floor paving jobs and I (Jackie) work between a maid and a shop assistant, so we basically end up never seeing each other.
After a year and a half of hard work we resume the journey. We cross the Australian continent far and wide. From Perth to Broome, where we enjoy the wild Australian beaches, the unusual deserts, its bizarre kangaroos and sweet wallabies and the endless bays populated by whales and dolphins. We proceed along the Gibb River Road where the heat and the destructive bush-fires are juxtaposed with the cool waters of the deep canyons. We can still remember the fear of crocodiles while in Darwin and spiders as huge as the country's national parks. We also meet some new people, the noisy Australian aborigines. We come across the legends of the Black Mountains and take a dip back into the story of the great Captain Cook.
Finally we arrive in Queensland, where the tropical forest meets the coral reef. Here we meet koalas, Lorikeet parrots, possums and we snorkel to discover the hidden beauties of this tropical paradise. We let ourselves slip into the water, drifting along coral gardens animated by sea turtles and fish with the most vibrant colours. We also discover the sad truth about the corals and global warming, as a result of which we are losing a precious treasure. We follow a long desert route to the centre of Australia, to the fervent and solitary Alice Springs, to the mighty and sacred rock Uluru and the wandering camels. We then head southwards to Southern Australia where we are welcomed with open arms by an Australian couple in their vineyard in Adelaide. Once crowded Melbourne is behind us, we plunge into the exploration of the treasures of the Tasmanian rainforest. A succession of heavenly bays is ahead. We lose ourselves among clear lakes that reflect like mirrors, rapidly flowing rivers and verdant hairpin bends of ferns, millennial conifers and pines.
As we return, as a last stop, we call into Sydney where we venture into the Blue Mountains. We pause in front of the artistic grandeur of the Opera House and wander around the historic centre. An immense, romantic, cosmopolitan and certainly multicultural city where inhabitants can never be too tattooed or too eccentric.

We are half way through the second month and there is yet another Yeezy release!
The Yeezy 350 Boost V2 Flax to be more specific.
Not everyone may get their hands on these easily since they will release only in African and Asian regions.
The sneaker reselling business is as lucrative as ever as more sneaker lovers are realizing the potential profits especially in 2020.
Experts believe the opportunities in this multi-billion dollar market will continue to grow for years to come.
As always, keep reading for more useful information and tidbits.
If you're only interested in the resale guide however, skip to the end.
The man himself, Kanye West or "Yeezy" founded the brand and named it after himself. He has always been a sneaker head and was into designing shoes even as a kid.
"I was drawing sneakers while my mom couldn't afford them for me". He said in an interview with BBC Radio 1. At first he was ridiculed for his fashion sense but that all changed with the success of the Yeezy.
The shoe was already held on a pedestal as a lot of the consumers were his long-time fans. In short, the shoe represented Kanye himself and his fashion sense which his followers were not going to miss out on.
This was no easy task though and Kanye was to be plagued with problems, denying him a smooth road to success.
The first problem was that no one really took him seriously as a designer. He was quick to change that though by collaborating with various companies and designing shoes.
In 2007, He helped design the Bapesta which would later help him design the Yeezy.
After the breakup with Nike due to various issues from delays to royalties. Kanye signed with Adidas in 2015 which was a game changer not just for his sneaker empire but for Adidas as well. They were behind Nike and Under Armour but jumped back to the number 2 spot after signing Kanye.
The first launch with Adidas was the Yeezy Boost 750. This was the first time Kanye was allowed to express his fashion sense to the fullest.
This shoe was limited to 9000 pairs and flew off the shelves fast. Their style was unique and represented all that Kanye wanted from a shoe.
It is still considered a head turner because of its unusual appearance which is great. Moreover, due to the scarcity, these things have great resale value and can be sold for over $3000.
The next shoe was what continued the long line of Yeezy shoes to come. The Yeezy Boost 350. These had a different silhouette than usual.
They are Kanye's most successful as they aren't just insanely comfortable gym shoes but also funky fresh street fashion! The "turtle dove" color way was an instant classic.
Then in September 2016, the 350 V2 was released and made the Yeezy brand a house hold name. The difference was slight. For instance, the material was thicker as well as more comfortable.
These pairs were perhaps the best Yeezy on the market to resell when it launched back in 2016.
However, recently the appreciation has not been too high. They're barely being resold over retail prices. A few notable examples include:
These pairs are very reminiscent to previous pairs such as the citrin, statics and Lundmarks. That may not be good for its resale value and it might be true.
Their resale value is fairly mediocre as according to stock X, trade range is between $312-$420. The last pair sold being over $360.
Starting off the month of February, I have to give it to Yeezy. These are nice, the color as well as the reflective materials used. This was released as a Yeezy supply exclusive and sports a yellow color tone much like a few others.
Also includes a bright yellow prime knit upper, white outer side stripes, a translucent boost and gold interior. Over all a nice looking shoe!
Now coming down to the resale value, not too impressive. According to stock X, the trade range is between $245-$259. The latest few sales being under $255. A bit underwhelming considering how limited this release was.

The latest addition to the V2 family is the Flax colorway. This will be released only in African and Asian regions which may make it difficult to purchase for some.
The color is a shade of light brown with prime knit construction and yellow accents. The translucent signature stripes are as always, on the sides and a light grey boot mid sole.
Finally there's also a gum rubber out sole to finish off the style.
These are very reminiscent to the previous 350's called the Yeezy Boost 350 "Linen" Colorway. Apart from the blue Lining and the mid and outer soul, they are almost identical.
That's not all though sneaker heads, since these are regional releases 2 more are releasing on the same date. The Yeezy 350 "tail light", for the Europe and Russian regions and the "Earth" for the American Markets.
I have said it before and I'll say it again. Scarcity = Value. This especially goes for the Yeezy. Unfortunately, West's plans for the Yeezy don't make them ideal for the reselling business.
In fact, West said that he wanted to make as many as people wanted so that everyone could get one. He called it the "democracy philosophy".
Thus, supply would meet demand which basically turns the shoes into bricks.
The prices above all, do not move by a lot when they are resold. Part of the reason may be the myriad of new colorways that have been releasing the past few years.
They're just making too many of them!
Some believe that the Yeezy has lost its "wow" factor by appealing to the masses. Us sneakerheads know better than most that if everyone has a pair then there are no bragging rights which makes them less desirable.
Generally speaking, there is hope though. Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted stated in 2019. "Many of the launches we'll make with very few volume".
The future may be brighter but let's take a look at how similar colorways are currently doing on the market.
They have been sold for close to $1500 but nowadays the trade range is between $312-$488. Which is not very impressive.
Similarly, the resale value for these are not good at all. You may actually make a loss as according to stock X, trade range is between $153-$373.
The same story applies to this one. The trade range is between $168-$264 currently on stock X.
In Conclusion, it's a miss for me on this one sneakerheads. The numbers don't lie and they just aren't doing too well at the moment.
Adidas is taking positive steps to improve this, of coarse only time will tell how effective they are.
Well that's all for now readers! Don't forget to sign up to our email list below, I highly recommend it. You'll get a free preview of our highly reviewed Hypemaster Playbook as well as details about our exclusive winner's circle.

If you are ever interested in doing a short and easy hike - but want a real high-alpine experience, this is the hike for you. In fact, this is where I plan to take flat-lander tourists (friends and relatives) who come to visit and want to go hiking from now on.
The trailhead for Chief Mountain begins about 11 miles (???) west of Bergen Park on Squaw Pass road. You'll know you've found the begining of this trail when you pull off on a wide shoulder along this road (on the north side) where you can see through the trees below you the remnants of the old Squaw Pass ski area which has been abandoned for many years.
Tommy starts out the hike from the unmarked trailhead along the road.

About two-tenths of a mile into the hike you will cross an old gravel road. Continue on up the trail on the other side.
About a third of a mile into the hike, the scene changes as you approach a saddle between Papoose Mountain (el. 11,174 feet) and Chief Mountain.
Then the trail heads back up through the trees.
At about seven-tenths of a mile you begin to feel a real high alpine experience and you find yourself suddenly above treeline.
That's the top up there. It may look steep but the trail slopes gently across the face of the mountain.
Approaching the summit - the last 150 yards.
From the summit you've got a great view of Mount Evans (el. 14,264 feet) to the west.
Below you Squaw Pass Road is visible winding along the ridge headed West.
To the north the view is as far as the weather will allow.
Squaw Mountain (el. 11,486) is easily viewed in its entirety just east of Chief Mountain with the flats of Denver (Kansas?) visible beyond to the horizon.

The vision to unravel and develop biological healing mechanisms based on evolving molecular and cellular technologies has led to a worldwide scientific endeavor to establish regenerative medicine. This is a multidisciplinary field that involves basic and preclinical research and development on the repair, replacement, and regrowth or regeneration of cells, tissues, or organs in both diseases (congenital or acquired) and traumas. A total of over 63,000 patients were officially placed on organs' waiting lists on 31 December 2013 in the European Union (European Commission, 2014). Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have emerged as promising fields to achieve proper solutions for these concerns. However, we are far from having patient-specific tissue engineering scaffolds that mimic the native tissue regarding both structure and function. The proposed chapter is a qualitative review over the biomaterials, processes, and scaffold designs for tailored bioprinting. Relevant literature on bioengineered scaffolds for regenerative medicine will be updated. It is well known that mechanical properties play significant effects on biologic behavior which highlight the importance of an extensively discussion on tailoring biomechanical properties for bioengineered scaffolds. The following topics will be discussed: scaffold design, biomaterials and scaffolds bioactivity, biofabrication processes, scaffolds biodegradability, and cell viability. Moreover, new insights will be pointed out.
In a society that is in constant development, the discovery of "new" scientific and technological knowledge must (i) progress at an incredibly fast pace, (ii) target a wide audience, and (iii) have a practical impact in the society. The health sciences are naturally a priority area of research, mostly because of the impact they have on the augment human life expectancy, by developing advanced and patient-specific therapies.
Only the complexity of human tissues could justify that in the 1980s tissue engineering emerged as a scientific field with an enormous potential. Targeting to regenerate the bone, cartilage, skin, or other tissues and organs, bridging the anatomy with its physiology/function is a paramount challenge to be solved. Several efforts have been made, by research groups spread worldwide, to tailor bioengineering scaffolds (sometimes denominated by tissue constructs) that could mimic native tissues. However, the achievement of three-dimensional (3D) complex organ structures is far from being tangible. Due to its nature, tissue engineering gathers scientists, engineers, and physicians in multidisciplinary teams using a variety of methods to construct biological substitutes . Indeed, significant efforts are being developed worldwide in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but full tissue or organ regeneration remains a paramount challenge. Therefore, these multidisciplinary scientific fields apply a wide variety of methodologies, where multidisciplinary research teams can provide suitable inputs for its development .
One of the major goals is to produce biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or improve tissue function, using biocompatible and biodegradable support structures, i.e., scaffolds, in conjunction with human cells ( Figure 1 ) . Gathering tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, researchers have been interested on developing alternative approaches for restoring functionality. To do so, one of the most promising methodologies involves the use of additive manufacturing (AM) processes. AM technologies allow the production of complex 3D structures concerning mainly a high level of control, predefined geometry, size, and interconnected pores in a reproducible way. This optimized controlled organization enhances the vascularization and, thus, transports oxygen and nutrients throughout the whole structure, providing an adequate biomechanical environment for tissue regeneration . However, adapting the adequate technology with enhanced biomaterials, in order to obtain customized implants that mimic the native tissue, is nowadays a challenge with a huge potential.
Relevant steps based on the use of scaffolds for tissue engineering.
This chapter intends to provide a synopses in patient-specific engineering scaffolds. A revision of the scaffold design, biomaterials, and advanced manufacturing processes will help to establish new research paradigms on tailoring bioengineered scaffolds for regenerative medicine. Recent advances will be highlighted to stimulate the readers for future insights and possibilities.
Scaffold modeling plays a key role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A well-designed 3D scaffold is a fundamental tool to guide tissue formation both in vitro and in vivo. Properties such as high surface-area-to-volume ratio, porosity, pore size, pore design, pore interconnectivity, permeability, and degradation should be taken into account when designing scaffold for different and tailored applications. These will allow a desirable biological network for cell migration, nutrient transportation, and the mechanical stiffness, and strength can be therefore obtained [5, 6]. Growth factors (GFs) and drug release (DR) should also be considered to achieve an optimized tissue growth as scaffold degraded. Moreover, some authors have shown the benefits for tissue generation of using curvature and concave surfaces compared to convex and planar ones .
To address and fulfill aforementioned requirements, two scaffold design approaches can be used according to the flowchart presented in Figure 2 . The first one is based on the native tissue, whereas the second one is based on the unit digital cell model, both addressing tailored scaffold geometry. The geometry obtained can then be used on computer-aided engineering studies to optimize the performance of the tailored bioengineering scaffold. Finally, a physical optimized scaffold can be produced using 3D printing or AM technology before in vitro and/or in vivo implantation of the scaffold. Accordingly, several research works have been developed concerning tailored scaffold geometry and its fabrication. In these studies, physical scaffolds have been used directly for in vitro and/or in vivo studies. Nevertheless, the link between computer modeling and computer-aided engineering to tailor bioengineering scaffold remains a paramount challenge. When solved, it can significantly reduce animal experimental studies.
Computer modeling and simulation to tailor bioengineering scaffolds.
In the computer modeling based on native tissue, different noninvasive 3D scanning techniques can be considered to obtain the 3D anatomical geometric model. The most used are computed tomography (CT), μCT (micro-CT), and nCT (nano-CT), which considered different scale levels [8–10], as well as magnetic resonance image (MRI) and 3D optical techniques. All these techniques used different physical principles to obtain a series of two-dimensional (2D) images or a 3D point cloud of the sample of the native tissue studied. CT requires the exposition of the sample of the native tissue to ionizing radiation, whereas MRI uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy (avoiding radiation) both obtaining a series of 2D images. In CT, these images are displayed by density, while in MRI they are compiled and segmented by its signal intensity. Additionally, both techniques can be differentiated by its resolution. The high resolution of CT allows the characterization of the micro-architecture and the mechanical properties of the tissue scaffolds ; however, this technique has a drawback regarding soft tissues of similar density. It is more efficient in differentiating hard tissues with sharply defined density changes, such as the interface between bone and soft tissues. To overcome this problem, contrast agents can be added . Although the resolution of MRI is inferior to CT scans, with the advance of technology, it is improving, allowing the 3D representation of internal structures, such as the central nervous system, heart, and kidneys of a rat . The 2D individual images obtained using the previous techniques described are then assembled and realigned, and therefore a 3D geometric anatomical model distinguishing different types of tissue is obtained.
Microscopy optical technique is also used to obtain the 3D anatomical geometric model of the native tissue. However, it can only differentiate every type of tissue down to the level of the individual cell at the cost of a huge computational effort. Other 3D optical techniques, such as 3D structured light, cannot differentiate the types of tissues presented and only allow the generation of the outer 3D geometric model of the native sample. In the case of the native tissue sample (temporomandibular joint disc (TMJ disc)) presented in the flowchart of Figure 2 , a 3D point cloud was obtained using a white light 3D scanning system (Steinbichler—COMET 5®), and then an appropriate software was applied to replicate the 3D geometric anatomical model of the TMJ disc .
Hybrid modalities can also be used to construct the 3D model of the same specimen in order to take the advantage of each technique to differentiate the different types of tissues .
The second approach uses computer-aided design (CAD) techniques to create a 3D unit cell which is used as pattern. Then, a desired number of patterns are automatically generated and combined until a complete 3D geometric model of the scaffold is obtained with controlled architecture ( Figure 2 ). Following this approach, the main scientific achievements reported are based on permanent or temporary scaffolds.
Permanent tailored engineering scaffolds have been designed mainly for bone repair of large segmental defects caused by fracture, tumor, or infection. In 2013, Wieding et al.  reported a numerical study which is used to determine the suitability of open porous of titanium scaffolds to act as bone scaffolds under physiological loading conditions. Uniaxial compression structural modulus of the titanium scaffolds was tailored ranging from 3.5 to 19.1 GPa as a function of the scaffold porosity from 64 to 80%. Results revealed that minimizing the amount of material of the inner core had a smaller influence than increasing the porosity when the scaffolds were under biomechanical loading. It was also noted that the scaffold design could act similarly to the intact bone. In order to tailor the mechanical properties of cellular structured scaffolds,  designed metal scaffolds with high porosity (62–92%) to tailor both compressive strength (4.0–113.0 MPa) and elastic modulus (0.2–6.3 GPa), respectively, were comparable to trabecular and cortical bone. Porous titanium scaffolds were also investigated by van der Stok et al. [15, 16] for grafting large bone defects. Mechanical properties were tailored, whereas high porosity of the scaffold allowed the incorporation of colloidal gelatin gels for time- and dose-controlled delivery of dual growth factors (bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and/or fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)), promoting a quasi-full bone regeneration. The scaffold was designed based on a decahedron pattern and composed by 120-μm-thick titanium struts with porous size ranging from 240 to 730 μm. Porous size, porosity, porous volume, compression strength, and Young's modulus were 490 μm, 88%, 55 mm3, 14 MPa, and 0.4 GPa, respectively, allowing to achieve an optimized bone volume regeneration (~50 mm3) for a composite scaffold with BMP-2/FGF-2. In 2012, Van Bael et al.  developed six distinct geometries of Ti6Al4V scaffolds in three different pore shapes (triangular, hexagonal, and rectangular) and two different pore sizes (500 and 1000 μm) aiming to understand the effect of pore geometry of Ti6Al4V bone scaffolds on the in vitro biological behavior of human periosteum-derived cells. The main result showed that a functional Ti6Al4V-graded scaffold, with specific morphological and mechanical properties, will contribute to enhance cell seeding and at the same time can maintain nutrient transport throughout the whole scaffold during in vitro culturing by avoiding pore occlusion.
Temporary (or biodegradable) tailored engineering scaffolds have been designed as a tissue engineering approach that uses degradable porous biomaterial incorporating biological cells and/or molecules to regenerate tissues such as the bone, cartilage, skeletal muscle, nerve, and blood vessels. Scaffold design must be able to create hierarchical porous structures to fulfill all mechanical and biological requirements. In 2005, Hollister  introduced the concept of hierarchical scaffold design as geometric features at scales from the nanometer to millimeter level that will determine how well the scaffold meets conflicting mechanical function and mass transport needs. In 2011, Khoda et al.  developed a functionally gradient variational porosity architecture (hierarchical design) for hollowed scaffolds. In 2014, Giannitelli et al.  reviewed tailored scaffold architecture with microstructural features. Authors highlighted the growing interest in the development of innovative scaffold designs to overcome often conflict requirements (such as biological and mechanical ones). Considering different pore size gradients, Sobral et al.  designed and manufactured. The goal was to enhance cell seeding efficiency and control the spatial organization of cells within the scaffold. Some authors  also emphasized the importance of scaffold pore size gradients in osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells. In 2010, Puppi et al.  in deep reviewed the design of biodegradable and bioactive polymeric scaffolds, with properly suited architecture and tailored properties for bone and cartilage tissue regeneration. According to the authors, a good scaffold design must account that macro- and microstructural properties affect cells survival, signaling, growth, propagation, and reorganization and play also a major role in modeling cell shape and gene expressions, both related to cell growth and preservation of native phenotypes [24, 25]. In addition, several scaffold designs were developed and then manufactured using different AM processes. For example, Fierz et al.  designed three labeled anisotropic 3D hydroxyapatite scaffolds (pixel-wise and labeled layer-wise) with tailored pores ranging from the nanometer to millimeter scale for the reconstruction of centimeter-sized osseous defects. Seventy percent micrometer-wide pores were successfully interconnected, and virtual spheres (diameter of up to 350 ± 35 μm) were used to simulate cell migration along the pores linked with central channel. Melchels et al.  designed poly-dl-lactic acid (PDLLA) porous scaffolds with a gyroid architecture. This architecture was mathematically defined, allowing a precise control of porosity and pore size of a fully interconnected pore network. As noted by the authors, cell seeding of porous structures prepared from hydrophobic polymers, such as PDLLA, was difficult. Moreover, the penetration of a cell suspension was further hindered by the high tortuosity and poor interconnectivity of pore networks when manufactured by salt-leaching or freeze-drying conventional methods. Therefore, very open scaffold structure of the gyroid architecture that facilitates the penetration of water into PDLLA scaffold was manufactured by stereolithography. It was highlighted that the cells were well attached and homogeneously distributed throughout the porous scaffold. Good mechanical properties can be tailored in predesigned (porous) architectures from PDLLA based on gyroid architecture. In 2012, Melchels et al.  reviewed additive manufacturing of tissues and organs. Authors also addressed tailored engineering scaffolds for breast reconstruction, focusing pore size and porosity for the generation of three scaffold models. Cipitria et al.  developed a poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold incorporating recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (rhBMP-7) for the regeneration of critical-sized defects in sheep tibiae. PCL scaffold with b-tricalcium phosphate (mPCL-TCP) to promote bone regeneration was designed based on a honeycomb structure with large interconnected pores to facilitate cellular bridging, ingrowth of bone tissue, and efficient mass transport and vascular infiltration. Moreover, Domingos et al.  developed PCL scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. Authors addressed internal/external scaffold geometry, different material deposition strategies, and the biocompatibility of the material used. 3D PCL porous scaffolds (rectangular porous prisms) were designed with an average porosity of ~76% using commercial computer-aided design software. These structures were then produced via bioextrusion in a 0/90 lay-down pattern trying to reproduce a honeycomb-like pattern of fully interconnected square pores. Similar bioextruded scaffolds were designed (regular dimensions of 600 × 600 mm) to have a well-defined internal geometry with square interconnected pores and uniform distribution. The overall porosity of the structures was found to be ~76%. In vitro degradation of the scaffold was studied as a function of the degradation environment, pore size, and geometry [30, 31]. Scaffold degradation plays a key role when tailoring scaffold properties. In 2016, Morouço et al.  developed three types of PCL scaffolds reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNF), with and without the addition of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANP), aiming to tailor scaffold properties for tissue engineering applications. The authors studied scaffold porosity, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility as a function of three material combinations. PCL, PCL/CNF, and PCL/CNF/HANP scaffolds were described with porous fully interconnected and porosity (%) of 49.0, 49.5, and 50.0; compressive modulus (MPa) of 54.42, 64.58, and 70.88; and maximum compressive stress (MPa) of 10.96, 11.35, and 12.12, respectively. These structures were then produced via bioextrusion in a 0/90 lay-down pattern. Some authors  studied hybrid hierarchical 3D scaffolds with well-controlled architecture for both macro- and microscale. Hybrid and hierarchical 3D structures include thick filaments with the diameter of hundreds of microns, and thin filaments with sub-10 μm dimensions were developed. The microscale features can help in cell seeding, alignment, and guidance. Trying to mimic morphological and mechanical behavior of a blood vessel, Vaz et al.  proposed a tailored tissue engineering scaffold. Design parameters such as bilayered tubular scaffold, stiff and oriented outside fibrous layer, and a pliable and randomly oriented fibrous inner layer were considered, combining two biomaterials (PLA/PCL). Structural and mechanical properties of the scaffolds were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile testing. Cell viability was investigated using 3T3 mouse fibroblasts and the tubular scaffold in an appropriated in vitro environment. The proposed scaffold presented appropriate characteristics to be considered a candidate for blood vessel tissue engineering. Other authors also proposed to tailor tissue engineering scaffolds trying to mimic extracellular matrix morphology of natural tissue for blood vessel applications [35, 36].
In 2012, Chantarapanich et al.  developed a computer-aided design library based on polyhedrons for tissue engineering applications. Close-cellular scaffold included truncated octahedron, rhombicuboctahedron, and rhombitruncated cuboctahedron, while open-cellular scaffold included hexahedron, truncated octahedron, truncated hexahedron, cuboctahedron, rhombicuboctahedron, and rhombitruncated cuboctahedron. Both relationship between pore size and porosity of close-cellular scaffolds and relationship between pore size/beam thickness and porosity of open-cellular scaffolds were studied. The study concluded that some design combinations were not good for making the open-cellular scaffold, generating enclosed pores inside the scaffold, and, therefore, they were excluded from the digital library. Compressive stresses were computed as a function of polyhedron-based geometries which can also be helpful for tailoring mechanical properties of the scaffolds.
In the computer-aided engineering based on tailored scaffold geometry, several digital features should be taken into account to obtain computer-tailored bioengineering scaffolds. Such features encompass cell and growth factor encapsulating, cell aggregation, cell-cell and cell-tissue interaction, vascularization, scaffold degradation (or not if permanent) and tissue growth, drug release, and scaffold mechanical behavior ( Figure 2 ). To help digital prediction of cell/tissue phenomena, several automated methods exist, namely, cell counting, cell geometry determination, chromosomal counting, correlation of DNA expression determined through microarrays, interpreting fluorescence data, determining cell's lineage, and cross correlating gene expression with predicted in vivo pathology. All of these features have predictive value for determination of tissue viability and the differentiative rate of cells seeded with the goal of tissue culture. A detailed description about both accumulation of the expression data and large-scale computer cross correlation (between this expression and expressions commonly used in pathology) is provided in Ref. , as well as a number of specific tools for tissue analysis/identification.
Despite of the aforementioned research works, new scaffold designs integrating cell/GF/tissue phenomena and scaffold mechanical behavior (geometric characteristics and materials) are needed for regenerative medicine. These complex hierarchical 3D structures must be designed according to the structural heterogeneity of the host tissue and/or scaffold environment.
Tissues possess different structures and properties that a tissue engineering scaffold should be tailored to. A general requirement for all biomaterial scaffolds is to reproduce an extracellular matrix (ECM) environment for supporting cell growth outside of the body. Moreover, scaffold should host cell adhesion, proliferation, and ECM production. Hence, the scaffold should surrogate the missing ECM. Tissue engineering products can be designed to conduct, induct, or block tissue responses and architectures . Besides providing the three-dimensional growth of cells in an organized way, an ideal scaffold should be characterized by biocompatibility, biodegradability, appropriate mechanical properties, interconnectivity of pores with appropriate size to retain cells, and low exchanges of nutrients and waste products . Tailoring biomaterials for enhanced biofunctionality can be achieved using a variety of approaches that involve the introduction of chemical, topographical, or mechanical cues via top-down or bottom-up approaches . Therefore, the selection of the starting materials and of the fabrication techniques is of paramount importance. Numerous natural and synthetic materials can be used for the fabrication of scaffolds including polymers, ceramics, bioactive glass, calcium phosphates, and biometals. For example, scaffolds fabricated from bioactive ceramic materials such as hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate show promise because of their biological ability to support bone tissue regeneration. However, the use of ceramics as scaffold materials is limited because of their inherent brittleness and difficult processability . In 2006, Rezwan et al.'s  review showed that conventional material processing methods have been adapted and extended for incorporation of inorganic bioactive phases into porous and interconnected 3D polymer networks. The biomaterials were extended from purely synthetic materials to material/biologic hybrids, engineering at the same time bioactivity and biodegradability . Addressing this issues, in 2015, Fiedler et al.  focused on the mechanical characterization of PCL-bioglass composites and concluded that the addition of bioglass was found to decrease the elastic gradient and yield stress if two scaffolds of the same density are compared and the highest bioglass content (35%) seems beneficial as it (i) does not significantly deteriorate the scaffold mechanical properties and (ii) promotes bioactivity.
The next generation of synthetic biodegradable, bioactive, living composite biomaterials that feature high adaptiveness to the biological environment  considers the incorporation of biomolecules as promising and is currently under extensive research. Incorporating biomolecules such as growth factors during scaffold processing with the aim to accelerate local tissue healing however are not simple as biomolecules are sensitive to elevated temperatures and extreme chemical conditions. A promising strategy is the immobilization of proteins and growth factors in the post-processing phase via surface functionalization of the scaffold .
"Soft" material routes like sol-gel processing might be a strategy to incorporate biomolecules during scaffold fabrication. To the authors' knowledge, however, sol-gel-derived bioactive organic/inorganic hybrids have not yet been formed into highly interconnected porous structures, which would be essential for application of these composites as scaffolds. Another related challenge was the elucidation of the local impact of growth factors on the cell and tissue systems, including long-term effects . As pointed out in Section 2, mechanical property is one of the most critical parameters that determine the performance of a designed implant. It mainly depends on the process and structural properties of the biomaterials. Therefore, it is possible to achieve desired mechanical properties through modifying the structural characteristics of a biomaterial. Biological behavior of cell assessment after surface modifications is required to check its biocompatibility and bioactivity . The study of the interactions of biochemical and geometrical cues on stem cell differentiation and alignment should be also considered. The capability to spatially control stem cell orientation and differentiation toward multiple phenotypes simultaneously, i.e., myocyte, tenocyte, and osteoblast, allows cells grown in vitro to more closely mimic aspects of native tissue organization and structure . Although the precise mechanism behind geometry-induced cell alignment is presently unknown, it is likely that the alignment of cells observed on fibers may be attributed to a combination of factors including physical space constraint and relative stiffness of the underlying substrate (fiber); ultimately affecting changes in both cell spreading and cell stiffness, cells may be predisposed toward a specific orientation through the modulation of mechanotransduction pathways via cytoskeletal rearrangements .
Multilayer scaffolds and combinations of several biomaterials are a better option to create graded structures that resemble the biological interface. The development of multilayer scaffolds and the controlled release of bioactive molecules to promote in situ regeneration of biological tissues are some of the latest technologies that intended to improve on the available traditional treatments. To confirm the potential of these novel approaches, long-term evaluation is necessary with special focus on studying the biological and mechanical properties of the synthesized tissues .
Scaffolds should be designed more as a bioactive system rather than just passive cell carriers. Thus, integration of fabrication techniques with surface modification may also act as route to obtain nanofibrous scaffolds with better understanding of cell scaffolds both in vivo and in vitro. Similarly and significantly, the biomaterial as design strategy can be used in a better way to relate science and engineering, and use this advanced knowledge to engineer more advanced tissue scaffolds [46, 47].
Aiming to tailor bioengineering scaffolds that closely mimic the native tissues, AM technologies are suitable to dispense biomaterials (with live cells or cell aggregates) at specific, and desired, locations . The usage of these technologies has been commonly divided in three categories: (i) the jet-based techniques, (ii) robotic dispensing techniques, and (iii) laser-induced forward transfer [49, 50]. Each of these techniques has advantages and drawbacks ( Table 1 ). Thus, understanding its limitations and potentials is a must-do to choose the right approach for the specific tissue that is aimed to regenerate. Furthermore, some advancements have been recently achieved with integrated/hybrid systems. These systems combine different techniques within the same equipment aiming to generate a multifunctional graded construct with tailored properties similar to the native tissue.
Comparison of the three AM approaches for tissue engineering.
In the available literature, it is possible to find investigations using different approaches, for the same type of tissue. In fact, there seems to be a trend to some research groups get specialized in some type of technology and use it for various goals.
Regarding the jet-based techniques, with a common resolution of 10–50 μm, it is difficult to obtain an adequate structural support. It consists of dispensing a jet of small droplets of liquid material, also called as bioink, in a spatially controlled manner. There are two different approaches, thermal inkjet printing and piezoelectric-actuated inkjet printing, having the former lower suitability for 3D bioengineering scaffolds. Using a piezoelectric actuator, research has been able to suppress some of the thermal constraints . For instance, good viability of printed cell populations was obtained for human fibroblast cell line , and recently a silk-based ink eliminated the usage of any cytotoxic organic or inorganic solvents . Even though jet-based techniques are the pioneer techniques used for tissue engineering, translating it to the construct of large 3D structures is a challenge to overcome, mostly because of the low-viscous solutions that do not provide strong and complex 3D structures.
The most successful attempts to engineer cell-containing bioengineering scaffolds have been achieved through robotic dispensing systems. These technologies are based on a controlled extrusion of a material in a continuous fashion, instead of liquid droplets ( Figure 3 ) and are developed at the Center for Rapid and Sustainable Development (CDRSP) of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal. Therefore, this approach enables the printing of hydrogels encapsulating cells in a very controlled architecture . The most common methods are the pneumatic  or mechanical  dispensing systems, comprising (i) a dispensing system and a stage with the capability of moving along the x, y, and z axes; (ii) a light source to illuminate the working area and/or for photoinitiator activation; and (iii) a piezoelectric humidifier , with some of them using multiple printing heads to permit the dispensing of various materials without retooling . However, researcher should bear in mind that optimal balance should be aimed between pressure and nozzle size (to obtain higher cell viability).
Equipments developed at the CDRSP, Portugal: (a) one-head extrusion system, (b) dual-head extrusion system, (c) system combining an extrusion head and a syringe for hydrogel deposition, and (d) hybrid system combining extrusion with up to three hydrogels.
Recently, a US research group presented an integrated tissue-organ printer (ITOP) for the production of human-scale tissue bioengineering scaffolds of any shape, in a single structure . Combining different procedures, it was possible to successfully engineer (i) a mandible bone, (ii) an ear-shaped cartilage, and (iii) a skeletal muscle. Furthermore, some institutions are now combining different technologies, for instance, merging a robotic dispensing system with a jet-based printing for muscle-tendon unit repair .
Lastly, the laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a not-so-common technology for tissue engineering, but is gaining significant importance in this domain . It is based on using three layers of different components: the first layer based on a donor slide, covered by a laser energy-absorbing layer and completed with a cell-bioink component . There are three main advantages for this technology: it is suitable for using (i) a wide range of materials, (ii) a very high precise deposition (but in small 3D structures), and (iii) a clog-free process without the use of nozzles. However, it requires a rapid gelation process, and researchers should bear in mind that several factors should be considered (e.g., laser wavelength, bioink viscosity; for more info read Ref. ). Apart from these constraints, successful cell viability (>90%) has been reported for printing skin cell lines and human mesenchymal stem cells and to prepare a cardiac patch .
The main objective of tissue engineering is to allow the cells of the body to replace the implanted scaffold over a period. Because bioengineering scaffolds are not intended as permanent implants (besides some of them have shown good results mainly in bone regeneration), they must therefore be biodegradable, so that the need of surgical removal can be avoided. Furthermore, the degradation products should be nontoxic and should be able to swiftly exit from the body without interference with other organs. In addition to this, the intermediate product, the timing of the degradation process, and the route and mechanism of degradation are equally important aspects that need to be taken care . Scaffold materials should fulfill several requirements. A scaffold is not just a passive support for cell growth, but a device whose properties affects the regeneration cascade. Mechanical properties, surface properties, and morphology are in turn relevant to the specific application. Degradation kinetics and the rate at which scaffold properties change with degradation should always be predictable. In particular, the degradation behavior of biomaterials can follow several mechanisms and is controlled by different factors. Understanding the degradation kinetics and mechanism of biomaterials is necessary to optimize their possible usage. The rate of degradation is also strictly connected to the degree of porosity .
One of the general variables that need to be thoroughly considered to successfully bioprint viable and functional tissue bioengineering scaffolds is the inclusion of supportive biomaterials, generally in the form of proteins and polymers, which (1) facilitate the deposition method by mechanical means and (2) provide support and protection to the cells during and after the tissue construct fabrication process. These biomaterials can encompass the physical environment inside of which the cells will reside, as well as the biochemical signal cells need to function as they would in the body .
Scaffolds represent the space available for the tissue to develop and the physical support for cell growth. Scaffold mechanical properties should allow shape maintenance during tissue regeneration and enable stress transfer and load bearing. Moreover, during the first stage of tissue reconstruction, wound contraction forces act against the process, and enough mechanical strength and stiffness of the scaffold is required. Scaffold porosity is a fundamental characteristic for providing available space for cells to migrate and for vascularization of the tissue. Furthermore, the larger the surface available, the more cell interactions will arise. In general, the biological activity of a scaffold is determined by ligand density. Scaffold composition and porous fraction, that is, the total surface of the structure exposed to cells, determine the ligand density. Highly specific surface areas allow for cell attachment and anchorage, and a high pore volume fraction enables cell growth, migration, and effective transportation of fluids and nutrients. In particular, microporosity is important for capillary ingrowth and interactions between cells and matrix, while macroporosity is relevant to nutrient supply and waste removal of cell metabolism. The rate of degradation is also strictly connected to the degree of porosity .
As in the development of the tissue-engineered organs, regeneration of functional tissue requires maintenance of cell viability and differentiated function, encouragement of cell proliferation, modulation of the direction and speed of cell migration, and regulation of cellular adhesion . Cell viability may be judged by morphological changes or by changes in membrane permeability and/or physiological state inferred from the exclusion of certain dyes or the uptake and retention of others. Cultured cells are seeded onto a three-dimensional biocompatible scaffold that will slowly degrade and resorb as the soft and hard structures grow and assimilate in vitro and/or in vivo . Cell viability during 3D bioprinting is dependent on the shear stress experienced during extrusion, which in turn is dependent on the viscosity of the solution, the applied pressure, and the needle diameter. In addition, any post-printing bioink cross-linking may also impact on cell viability . Cell viability can be measured with Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity assay after printing  and could vary with dispensing pressure and nozzle diameter. It decreases as the pressure increases and the nozzle diameter decreases, and it is seen that the effect of pressure is significantly larger than the effect of the nozzle diameter. At higher pressures, there is an increase in the number of apoptotic cells as well as necrotic cells .
Tissue bioengineered scaffolds targeted for in vivo applications are typically restricted to a thickness of only a few hundreds of microns, owing to the diffusion limitations of oxygen and nutrients . One of the major challenges in tissue engineering for translation in clinical applications is the vascularization of bioengineering scaffolds of clinically relevant size. Insufficient vascularization inhibits nutrient and host cell delivery or migrations and leads to improper cell integration or cell death. While vascularization remains a challenge to maintain viability of large biofabricated tissue bioengineering scaffolds, recent advances in the field demonstrate that novel biofabrication techniques may resolve this problem .
Doing a survey on the Web of Science®, it is noticeable that the number of original articles on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has experienced a tremendous increase over the past 10 years ( Figure 4 ; review papers and proceedings not included). Likewise, bioprinting is attracting a lot of researchers presenting an exponential increase in the last 3 years. Meanwhile, 3D bioprinting market was valued at $98.6 million in 2015, and an annual growth of 36% for the next 6 years is expected .
Number of original articles on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine 2006–2016.
Nevertheless, 3D bioprinting has been focused on the development of bioengineering scaffolds that lack a crucial element for mimicking native live tissues: its ability to acutely change according to its function. That is why leading research groups have recently proposed the four-dimensional (4D) bioprinting (time is integrated with 3D bioprinting) as an enhanced approach for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: the development of stimuli-responsive biomaterials that can be printed and dynamic to intended stimulation. However, several challenges arise, namely, (i) bioinks have to be optimized to achieve successful bioprinting; (ii) processes must be mechanically designed to obtain robust shape-changing capability of the bioengineering scaffolds ; (iii) specific bioreactors for complex tissue function maturation need to be invented; and (iv) evaluation procedures should be defined to examine the functionality response.
Therefore, the most promising approach is to optimize the cell-bioengineering scaffold interactions, becoming feasible to explore the usage of computer modeling to examine the further responses. Developing "smart" biomaterials (also referred as "intelligent," "stimuli responsive," "stimuli sensitive," or "environmentally sensitive") to allow the dynamic changes of the structure, upgrade of the printing processes into defined architecture for targeting tissues, automation of stimulus, and standardizing the assessment procedures to evaluate the result is crucial for enhanced regenerative medicine approaches .

Overbrook High School's Footloose Review by Guest Writer Joanna Karpiel: "Every individual brought strong and committed performances"
Joanna Karpiel
The following is a guest article by Joanna Karpiel of Clayton High School
5, 6, 7, wait! As Overbrook High School was reminded during their performance of Footloose, dancing isn't allowed in the town of Bomont. Despite that, the theatre department did a great job during their performance this weekend.
Footloose the movie was released in 1984. Directed by Herbert Ross and starring Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer, the story follows a young man named Ren who moved from the big city of Chicago to a small town in the Bible belt, Bomont. Ren's passion for dance is immediately shut down upon finding it is illegal in the town. The Broadway musical opened in 1998.
Overbrook did an amazing job in their rendition of Footloose. The choreography, done by student Simone Pratt, was clean and lively. Vi (Natalie Sosing), Ethel (Amaya Bullock), and Ariel's (Lyanie Pagan) performance of "Learning to be Silent" was powerful and the actresses did an amazing job of showing their characters. But the number that really stood out was "Holdin' Out for a Hero" and the powerhouse vocals that were provided.
Ren McCormack (Santino Magazzu) was a triple threat in Overbrooks' performance of Footloose. Magazzu played an amazing rebellious teenager turned leader. He was very present on stage and made great choices. Opposite him, Ariel Moore (Lyanie Pagan) was the perfect leading lady. She brought a sassy, passionate, and emotional performance, and her character was very well developed. Together, the couple had wonderful chemistry, and their duet, "Almost Paradise", had their voices blending really well.
The antagonist of the show, Reverend Shaw Moore (Xavier Vargas), had the audience going from being against him to sympathizing. It was hard to believe that a teenager was playing him, and Vargas definitely put all of himself into his character. The family was complete with Vi Moore (Natalie Sosing). The two of them showed the pain of realizing that their child may be outgrowing them. Another member of the supporting cast who did a great job was comic relief, Willard Hewitt (Jeremy Davis). Every time Willard came on stage, the audience was laughing at his every word and action.
On the technical side, the show was also very well done. All of the costumes matched the characters very well. The lights were always right on time, and added so much to scenes. The sound could have been a little better, as the actors sometimes were not heard well over the musicians, but there weren't too many issues. The running crew were quick and efficient.
Overall, Overbrook did an amazing job with their performance of Footloose. Every individual brought strong and committed performances, and I hope to see another one of their productions in the future.

Start by coating the rim of a highball glass with celery salt. You can do this by rubbing the rim of the glass with a piece of lime and rubbing the glass over a small plate filled with celery salt.
Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
In a Boston glass, add the gin, sherry, few cracks of pepper and salt, squeeze half of the lime and add the tomato juice, followed by the horseradish, Worcester and Tabasco sauces.
Shake all the ingredients with ice and strain into the highball glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a piece of fresh celery.

Stunning, remote and dangerous more than anything else, the Shackleton Glacier isn't somewhere most people get the opportunity to go which is probably why adventurous souls are drawn there. The glacier bed comes from the bare rock Roberts Massif onto the Ross Ice Shelf. That probably means little to most people, bar that it is long and icy, but the terrain is one of the most spectacularly beautiful vistas you can imagine.
Another reason to fly over (most people will never get close to the opportunity of walking on it) the glacier is its name, which cements its place on an Antarctic hit list. It's very expensive and very difficult to get to - which could be both the main reasons to try and see it to not bother - but photos just don't do its beauty justice.

Today I wanted to run a quick comparison of the jungle items!
Conservation: You generate Conservation stacks every 1.5 seconds, up to 80. Killing a large monster will consume up to 40 stacks and grand 1 bonus gold per stack consumed.
But on top of that, they have Butcher (the minion clearing passive), a unique passive, and a gold passive.
Butcher is the same across the items, so we won't consider its value.
The unique passives are also VERY hard to value, so for now, we'll leave them aside.
How to the gold passives measure up?
Conservation is worth essentially 80 gold every 120 seconds, or 6.67 gp10.
Bounty Hunter, on the other hand, gives you 10 gold per camp. Let's assume you clear all of the camps constantly. Bounty Hunter will give you 40 gold every 50 seconds, 80 gold every 100 seconds, and about 96 gold every 120 seconds, or 8 gp10!
Gentleman Gustaf, that means that Elder Lizard and Ancient Golem are WAY more efficient than Ancient Golem, right? I can finally build straight damage from the jungle and carry!
Hang on! What happens if you stop clearing? Let's say you go back to the fountain; it takes you 30 seconds to get back to clearing. That's 24 gold you lose.
If you go back to the fountain once every 3 minutes, you'll get 120 gold every 180 seconds. That means that if you visit the fountain MORE than once every 3 minutes, Ancient Golem will give you more gold.
What if you gank? It probably takes you about 30 seconds as well, so you lose 24 gold. You'll get 40 gold if the ganks works out! So as long as you succeed 60% of your ganks, you're breaking even!
What if you have to hold a lane? No chance of a kill there, so you're probably just out 24 gold! Yes, you're getting that sweet, sweet minion farm, but you'd get that with Ancient Golem, too!
But Gentleman Gustaf, I'll clear faster with Elder Lizard/Spectral Wraith, and thus get more gold! This is true. On the other hand, you'll be incredibly squishy on a (probably) melee champion, so hope that doesn't ruin your farming.
But the true strength of the Ancient Golem is in the mid game, when laners start eating your camps. As long as you can clear one camp every 60 seconds or so, you keep getting the consistent gold from Conservation, whereas you will fall behind with the Bounty Hunter gold items.
So just looking at the Spirit Stone items, I'm a fan of all of them.
Ancient Golem is best for tanky junglers who are going to gank a lot, but it is good on everybody.
Elder Lizard is good on champions who can afford to just farm the jungle, due to long-ranged gank abilities. Vi, Hecarim, and Nocturne are all good examples.
Spectral Wraith is good on AP/mage junglers. Few are considered viable at the moment, but I think this item has the potential to make them so. Why? Because the passive guarantees you will be at full health/mana almost whenever you want. It makes the jungle into your fountain. Remember those fountain visits that cost you gold from Bounty Hunter? Spectral Wraith means you rarely have to make them! The one issue with these junglers is that there aren't any who fit the bill quite like Vi/Hecarim/Nocturne when it comes to ganking/counter-ganking from the jungle. Amumu and Fiddlesticks come close, though, as does Elise.
Finally, we've got Wriggle's Lantern. How much gold does it give you? Well, the Armor/AS stats on it are worth 1110. That's already a bad sign for an item that costs 2000 gold. However, it does increase your jungle gold by 40%! How much is that? Let's assume you get it at the 10 minute mark and power farm. The average gold for a jungle clear will be around 300 gold. This means you gain 120-ish gold per clear. You should get to clear 12 times, in 10 minutes, for a total of 1440 gold.
Gentleman Gustaf! That's so much gold! Why ever buy Ancient Golem?
Compared to the 80 gold/120 seconds from Ancient Golem (400 gold over the same 10 minute period), this may seem strong, but it's actually quite weak. Why?
First, the base stats on the item (20 Armor and 25% Attack Speed) are extremely low. Yes, you'll make 1000 gold more from power-farming. Yes, that 1000 gold basically equals the stat difference between Ancient Golem and Wriggle's. So you have to power-farm for the first 20 minutes of the game just to break even. And even if you did want to stop farming and gank, you'd have significantly fewer stats, giving you either less damage or less tankiness.
If you ARE going to power-farm, you may as well just pick up Elder Lizard or Spectral Wraith, because they will give around 480 gold.
But if you get Ancient Golem, you will continue to gain gold regardless of the pressure you exert, and with all three Spirit Stone items, you will have combat and sustain stats in between the 10 and 20 minute mark.
Yes, Wriggle's has its own regen passive. Yes, that regen passive probably is worth something similar to the health/mana regen on the Spirit Stone items. But the Spirit Stone items also have their own unique passives which have some significant value (Tenacity/True Damage Burn/Infinite Sustain).
Basically, don't buy Wriggle's Lantern. But do buy a Spirit Stone item! They give you 2000 gold in stats, not to mention increased minion damage (extremely valuable) a unique passive (tenacity/true damage burn/infinite sustain), and probably 1000 gold over the course of a 50-minute game from the gold passive.

Shipping from Seattle
Seattle, WA freight rates Not only can Seattle boast a Super Bowl winning football team, excellent coffee and a vibrant music scene, it is also a great air and ocean gateway for cargo from Asia to multiple points in North America. The Port of Seattle is made up of 1,543 acres of waterfront land and nearby properties including container terminals, general purpose/cargo terminals, a Foreign Trade Zone, break-bulk cargo and refrigerated cargo and storage. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers cargo options from 20 U.S. and 14 foreign carriers, as well as a concentration of nearby freight forwarders, customs brokers, distribution centers and other logistics supply chain service providers. Most of the state of Washington's rail lines connect to the busy ports, allowing for local shipping rates to remain low and reasonable. LTL freight is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the state. Winter weather in the mountainous regions of the state can affect price and efficiency of cargo moving on the ground to and from the city.
Shipping to Long Beach
Long Beach , CA freight rates More than 100,000 metric tons of international goods are transported annually through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which handle over 40 percent of all inbound containers for the entire United States. Shippers can efficiently move freight to and from the ports using the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile-long rail cargo expressway linking the ports to the transcontinental rail network near downtown Los Angeles. In addition, an excellent freeway and highway system allows multimodal transport and efficient origination for cross-country delivery. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is another component of the region's international trade. LAX handles high-value products, such as medical instruments, electronics, and perishables and processes about 2 million tons of cargo annually. The airport is served by 43 international carriers and all major air freight lines.


Maanas is a famous actor from Tamil television serials. He is a smart young person, who selects roles which suits his age and skills. He acts in them with full commitment and ensures the audience is happy by his performance. He believes that is the only thing that will help him grow in this industry.
Maanas wanted to be an actor from a very young age. He decided television is a great opportunity and was looking for a good role. He didn't get it. He had to struggle for few years, when no one was ready to try him on important roles. That break came when the producers of " Mundhanai Mudichu" serial approached him and asked him to do the role of "Madhavan". This was a great opportunity as "Mundhanai Mudichu" was already a very popular serial. Hence, Maanas got that chance and did the character very well and he got many awards and recognitions for that.
Maanas was next asked to play the role of " Saravanan" in "Vani Rani". As this was also a famous serial and an important role, Maanas was able to reach out to even more people by this performance. Today he is one of the most preferred heroes of television world. With this popularity, Maanas believes he will soon get a movie chance. He feels this will be a natural promotion for him and he would do well in movies. If he shows the same kind of skills and commitment that he has shown in the television serials, it will be certain that, he would succeed in the movies field as well, because he has all the right ingredients from age to body to talent!


On Tuesday, April 1, call Apple to demand the company protect its workers from dangerous chemicals.
Last month, The Nation joined Green America and China Labor Watch in calling on Apple to take the lead in protecting its workers from dangerous chemicals. As we pointed out, there are hundreds of chemicals routinely used in electronics manufacturing, some of which are known carcinogens and reproductive toxins and some of which have not been tested. Factory workers do not often receive adequate training or protective gear for handling toxic substances. Electronics manufacturers, including Apple, do not disclose the chemicals used in their supplier factories, making oversight and improvement difficult.
Tens of thousands of people have supported the cause by sending a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook and over 300 media outlets have covered the campaign. Today we're ramping up the pressure with a national day of action. To participate, call Apple at 408-996-1010 and demand they take the lead and protect factory workers from toxic chemicals. You can also head to Green America's website for more details on what to tell Apple when you call.
Shortly after the campaign launched, Apple responded in a statement to Computerworld, stating that it was a leader in ridding toxic chemicals from products and that its suppliers were required to match or exceed US safety regulations (the article incorrectly stated that the campaign was calling for a boycott). In response, Elizabeth O'Connell of Green America and Kevin Slaten of China Labor Watch pointed out that Apple still has not disclosed the list of chemicals used at its supplier factories, that its new training program does not guarantee that workers will be trained (only management) and that Apple must take responsibility for workers already made sick.
In the short film Who Pays the Price? The Human Cost of Electronics, documentary filmmaker Heather White tells the stories of workers in China who struggle for recognition after discovering that they have been poisoned by toxic chemicals at their jobs.


Maharashtra has five forest types as per the Champion and Seth's classification. Each forest type represents a unique Eco-system.
Forests of this type occur mostly on upper hill slope from 450 meters to 1050 metres above the m.s.l. in Western Ghats. The main species are Terminalia paniculata (Kinjal), Memocylon umbellatum (Anjani), Terminalia chebula (Hirda), Syzigium cumini (Jambul), Olea diocea (Parjamun) and Mangifera indica (mango), Actinodaphne hookeri (Pisa), etc.
Two main sub-types occur under this group.
Important and valuable forests of the State from commercial view point, these are mainly confined to Project Tiger area in Melghat region of Amrawati district, Chandrapur, Gadhchiroli and Thane districts with Tectona grandis (Teak), the associates are Terminalia tomentosa (Ain), Delbergia latifolia (Shisham), Adina cardifolia (haldu), Madhuca indica (Moha), Pterocarpusmarsupium (Bija), Mitragyna parviflora (kalam), Salmalia malabaricum (Semal) and Dendrocalamus strictus(Bamboo) etc.
Teak is present occasionally and the evergreen component of species is larger than in case of Teak bearing forests. The main species are Pterocarpus marsupium (Bija), Salmalia malabaricum (Semal), Terminalaia bellarica (Behada), Dalbergia latifolia (Shishum), Syzigium cumini (Jambul), Terminalia tomentosa (Ain), Lagerstremia parviflora (Bendara) etc.
Forests falling in this group occupy a major part of state. Main specie being Tectona grandis (Teak), these forests produce middle and small size timber. Following are the main forest sub-types.
Principal species is Tectona grandis (Teak) and the associates are Ougeinia dalbergiaoides (Tiwas), Acacia catechu (Khair), Gmelania arborea (Shivan) and Anogeissus latifolia (Dhawada) etc.
Under this forest type fall the forests of the low rainfall areas of Marathwada, Vidarbha, Khandesh and Western Maharashtra. Majorities of these forests are heavily degraded due to low fertility coupled with low rainfall. The main tree species found in these forests are Acacia arabica (Babul), Acacia leucophleca (Hiwar), Zizyphus jujuba (Bor), Butea monosperna (Palas), and Belanites rexburghii (Hinganbet) etc. These forests are full of Euphorbia and Cassia scrub.
The littoral and swamp forests occur along the creeks and littoral in Sindhudurg and Thane district. Although their comparative extent in the State is marginal, these forests are important for protection of seacoast and marine life. The typical mangrove species found in this area are Avicennia spp. and Rhizophora spp. etc.
