Small spaces are hard to decorate especially if there are items that need to sit on shelves, and wall shelves are not an option. A great space saving tip is to use corner shelves. They take up less floor space and sit in the corner out of the way. They are a great way to display collectibles, figurines, crafts, trophies and other items that need to be displayed in a home.
Wall mount shelves can be a neat alternative to traditional bookcases or upright shelves. Modern materials have enabled these shelves to be very light yet very durable at the same time. Shelves mounted on the wall can become your rightful place for anything and everything - from books, to porcelain collections, to family photos, to even purses. Just make sure that the thickness of the frame you choose can withstand the weight of the things you intend to put up in your shelf. The material for most shelves is still primarily wood. Some shelves are made of pure hardwood and some are made of combination solid wood and plywood. Modern shelves have accents made of glass, metal, and even plastic to enhance their design and function. Your shelves can come in any color you prefer - natural wood finish, bright colors, or black paint finishes.
Modular Storage Kits - These have components that you can mix and match to solve your particular storage challenges. The pre-set sizes and allowable weight loads, limit how the shelving can be used and may also create lots of wasted space. Once the kits are constructed, it would be wise to secure them to the wall to prevent accidental tipping.

The publication reports Elgort also climbed up onto the DJ console to spray the crowd with Champagne and throw out slices of birthday cake.

A 7-year-old girl, who identifies as transgender, received advice from Orange is the New Black actor and activist Laverne Cox earlier this month, according to the little girl's mother.
The mother, Mack, who writes under the pseudonym Gender mom, blogged about the celebrity encounter a couple of weeks ago, when she says Cox passed through her town for a speaking engagement.
"I had shown M. the photo of Ms. Cox on the cover of TIME when it came out last year, so M. had a vague idea that this was someone important who was also transgender," wrote Mack. "But I don't think she really got it until we showed up for the event."
Mack said M. was thrilled when they first got to the event, but even more so after they learned they also had the chance to meet Cox, thanks to a friend.
Mack said that she and M. staked out by a few doors outside of the reception hall, and that M.'s eyes were glued to the doors waiting for Cox to emerge.
When the actress finally walked through the doors, Mack said she approached her daughter to say Hello.
She wrote:
Laverne waved her Hollywood wave at the crowd, thanked us graciously, and then looked down at the little girl blocking her path.
"Well, hello," she said.
"I'm M.," my daughter said.
Laverne smiled down at her. "Hello, M."
"And I'm trans," M. said.
I don't think Ms. Cox saw that coming. The crowd around me gasped their approval ("Did you hear what that little girl said?"). Laverne seemed at a bit of a loss.
Mack then said after a few photos were snapped, Cox crouched down to M.'s eye level to give her a hug just before saying to her daughter:
"Remember, honey, transgender is beautiful."

Are You Looking for Snapchat Girls?
Snapchat is one of the most popular apps for sexting nowadays and if you're not using it already, you'll certainly start at some point. People like sexting on Snapchat because the app doesn't save the nasty sexts and nudes they send so their privacy is protected. When you know that there's very little chance your nudes will go public, everything becomes simpler and more relaxed.
But how do you meet someone to sext to begin with? Everybody's talking about sexting with sexy Snapchat girls, but the average person doesn't really know where to look in order to find other Snapchat users looking for a good time. However, finding a Snapchat sexting partner is much simpler than you would think.
Most people actually go through forums. They browse through forums like Snapchat Usernames first. Snapchat girls who'd like to have some hot sexting usually leave their usernames in this section. There are also more specific forums like Snapchat Sexting.
Hot Snapchat girls that share their usernames in these forums clearly want to find a sexting partner, so you don't have to worry about being misunderstood. Begin by searching through the forum and find a Snapchat girl who seems interesting. Try adding her on Snapchat and start a conversation if she accepts. Maybe nothing will happen, but maybe she's your ticket to some steamy sexting. You won't know until you try.
These forums are often stuffed with different usernames, sometimes there are more men than women, and sometimes fake usernames appear and just make a mess. If you like things faster and simpler, you can always check out a forum specifically for Snapchat Girls like this one. You can find bunch of Snapchat girls there and you won't even have to break your back search for them. Girls share their Snapchat usernames every day on this forum and you can always find someone new.
If you would like to find out a bit more about your sexting partner before adding them, try looking through a forum like Snapchat Stories. This way it'll be easier for you to check whether the user is a genuine Snapchat girl or the account is a scam. Find a Snapchat girl, take a look at her story and see if she's your sexting match.
And a special treat for all those extra horny heads are forums like Snapchat Nudes. In case you haven't found a Snapchat girl you like to sext with tonight, you can always scroll through some nudes to help you during your "me time". You might even come across a Snapchat girl who's as horny as you and ready to start trading nudes immediately. Anyways, this definitely is a section worth your time.
Don't wander in the corners of internet, go straight to some good forums and find a sexy Snapchat girl in no time.

Islamic State militants are making £26 million a month selling oil with large volume going to the Syrian government, it's been claimed.
U.S. officials say the terrorist organisation is engaged in a major oil trade with some finding its way to Turkey.
Senior U.S. Treasury official Adam Szubin today said: "ISIL is selling a great deal of oil to the Assad regime.
"The volumes we are talking about and the amounts of money we are talking about are very sizeable."
Szubin, acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence with the U.S. Treasury, was speaking at Chatham House in London.
He said the "far greater amount" of Islamic State oil ends up under Assad's control while some is consumed internally in Islamic State areas but some ends up in Kurdish regions and Turkey.
"Some is coming across the border into Turkey," he added.

ISIS militants have made more than £330 million ($500 million) from black market oil sales and looted up to £650 million - or the equivalent of $1 billion - from bank vaults in Syria and Iraq , he said in prepared remarks.
"Our sense is that ISIL is taking its profits basically at the wellhead and so while you do have ISIL oil ending up in a variety of different places that's not really the pressure we want when it comes to stemming the flow of funding - it really comes down to taking down their infrastructure," Szubin said.
He added that the U.S. is working closely with the Iraqi government to cut access to dozens of bank branches located in ISIS territory.
The United States has aided troops with air strikes against the terrorists, and Obama is considering sending attack helicopters to aid fighters against the terrorists on the ground.
On Monday, the US-led coalition said it had carried out 20 air strikes in Iraq, six of which targeted ISIS units, weaponry and positions near Ramadi.
Meanwhile Russia has reportedly refused to rule out using nuclear weapons in its fight against ISIS .
President Vladimir Putin eluded to the stance during an interview yesterday after the country's Defence Minister confirmed the first ever cruise missiles strikes launched from a submarine in the Caspian Sea had successfully struck targets in Raqqa.
During the encounter broadcast on state television Sergei Shoigu said Calibre missiles were launched from the Rostov-on-Don submarine in the Mediterranean.
Mr Putin then added that the missiles can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear warheads "which, I hope, will never be needed", he said.
His warning came as Russia stepped up its barrage on Syrian rebels with the submarine strikes and bombing raids in the air.
Mr Shoigu said "300 targets of different kinds" had been hit in the past three days as the assault on the terror cell continued from both the sea and sky.

(AP) Joshua Ledet continues to impress on 'Idol'
By DERRIK J. LANG
AP Entertainment Writer
Joshua Ledet earned another pair of standing ovations on "American Idol."
The powerful 20-year-old gospel singer from Westlake, La., got the Fox talent contest's judges on their feet again Wednesday after his energetic take on Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and restrained rendition of India.Arie's "Ready for Love." The finalists were tasked with tackling both a Queen classic and a song of their own choosing.
Skylar Laine, the 18-year-old country rocker from Brandon, Miss., who impressed the panel with "The Show Must Go On" and Jason Aldean's "Tattoos on This Town," joked that Ledet earned his 12th standing ovation of the season. Laine herself wasn't lacking for fans. Steven Tyler called her country interpretation of the Queen ballad "over the top."
But Jackson and Tyler didn't love Elise Testone's bold selection of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love." Tyler warned the rockin' 28-year-old teacher from Charleston, S.C., that while it warmed his heart for her to do Hendrix, she's "gotta do songs that people know." Lopez issued a similar warning to 21-year-old pawn shop worker Phillip Phillips of Leesburg, Ga.
Jackson disagreed though, telling the growly blues-inspired crooner, who earlier earned rave reviews for Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls," that "you showed your true colors again."
After delivering a truncated "Bohemian Rhapsody," 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez of San Diego struck an emotional chord with Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father," which she dedicated to her soldier father.
Hollie Cavanagh, the soaring 18-year-old singer from McKinney, Texas, also tugged at the judges' heartstrings with Queen's "Save Me" and Miley Cyrus' "The Climb."
Before their individual performances, the top six finalists were medley accompanied by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor for a Queen medley.
One of the singers will be dismissed Thursday.
Fox is a unit of News Corp.

These guys really have no clue how Stalin-esque they've become, do they?
That was under the threat of death.
Here/CNN/OTHERS do so of their own free will.
Entirely more deplorable.
For the sake of argument, let's say that CNN is all-in for Clinton. Is that not their right? They have the freedom of the press and they can publish, print and air whatever they so choose.
You, also, have the right to freedom of the press. You can create your own outlet to counter CNN if you wish.

I wonder if CNN would be taking the same approach if WikiLeaks was revealing something about Republicans?

When it comes to exes, Ke$ha's new material will take no prisoners.
+ Ke$ha dished on the inspiration behind her new material, and it sounds like a recent ex better watch out. "So I wrote a song called 'F*** You,' but then that title was already taken, so 'U Suck Ass' is another title." Ouch. We guess it's safe to assume that it didn't end amicably. (MTV News)
+ So, judging from Kanye West's series of ALL CAPS tweets last night, he's a bit miffed with Jimmy Kimmel's recent parody where two kids re-enact the rapper's BBC 1 interview using 'Ye's exact words. (RapFix)
+ Get a behind-the-scenes peek at Adam Lambert and Demi Lovato on the set of "Glee," which castmate Lea Michele shared on Twitter. In the photos, it looks like the two may have formed a band. (Just Jared)
+ Speaking of "Glee," did you miss the season 5 premiere last night? Or, do you just want to see the McKinley High kids cover The Beatles' greatest hits all over again? Watch six of the musical numbers here. (Billboard)
+ The track list for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" has been revealed. Contributing artists who will join Christina Aguilera include Ellie Goulding, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and more. (MTV News)
+ Listen to CHVRCHES' synth-laden cover of Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay." Seriously, it's flawless, just do it. (Idolator)

The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
The first book in The Diabolic series.
416 Pages.
My Rating – 5*/5*
'Nemesis is a Diabolic. Created to protect a galactic Senator's daughter, Sidonia. There's no one Nemesis wouldn't kill to keep her safe. But when the power-mad Emperor summons Sidonia to the galactic court as a hostage, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia.
She must become her.
Now one of the galaxy's most dangerous weapons is masquerading in a world of corruption and Nemesis has to hide her true abilities or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns that there is something stronger than her deadly force: the one thing she's been told she doesn't have – humanity. And, amidst all the danger, action and intrigue, her humanity might be the only thing that can save her, Sidonia and the entire Empire…'
I am so glad I finally got around to reading this book, it has been on my shelf forever and I have no idea why I kept pushing it back constantly. ❤❤
This book had everything I wanted and more, a space adventure with a twist, complex world building, politics and an unusual love interest (which I 100% supported!!!!!)
It takes places during a war between science and religion with people being killed left, right and centre. Nemesis disguises herself as her 'master' Sidonia and takes her place when the Emperor requests her presence as a sort of "punishment" because of the things Sidonia's father has done.
Nemesis' interaction with the emperor and his family were some of my favourite scenes to read, they were so interesting to see them play out and see how Nemsis will react.
I bloody love a good well plotted book and this delivered, the writing is wonderful and the plot twists had me gagging for more. I am so glad that this is turning out to be a duology instead of a stand alone as after that (very rushed) ending I am dying to get my hands on the next book.
ALSO, because I feel like I need to mention it somewhere that I have a new favourite top ten couple and that is Tyrus and Nemsis, I love them together and I do want them to have a happy ending together but no doubt there will be some problems along the way!!
Overall a fantastic read and I recommend it to lovers of sci-fi and romance 🙂
Preferably the two together 😉
Have you read this?
Are you happy there is going to be another one or would you rather it stayed as a stand alone?

We're not involved in Warmbier's death, says N/Korea
North Korea on Friday denied it cruelly treated or tortured an American student who was detained for more than year and died days after being released in a coma. His family and others have blamed North Korea for his condition. Rodman told ABC News he didn't know Warmbier was in a coma when he heard the news of his release.

HERE's a roundup of gadget releases in the past week.
Fitbit, Inc. desperately needs a hit.
The company unveiled its first smartwatch on Aug. 29, hoping that the health-focused features of the device will reverse the hardware maker's declining influence in the wearables market.
The smartwatch, called the Fitbit Ionic, costs $299.95. It has a square touchscreen similar to the one on the Apple Watch. It includes a heart-rate monitor, GPS tracking and four-day battery life. The watch, which is water resistant up to 50 meters, can make wireless payments and store music offline from Pandora Media, Inc.
The smartwatch is the company's first device to include a sensor that can estimate blood oxygen levels, called a relative SpO2 sensor. The Ionic will be pre-loaded with the apps for weather, payments, fitness, Starbucks Corp. and Pandora.
The company has started using the Fitbit Ionic to work with clinical researchers to measure sleep apnea. In the next several years, Fitbit aims to eventually deliver consumer subscriptions that predict health outcomes to move beyond hardware and into a recurring revenue stream, according to Joe Wittine, an analyst at Longbow research.
The stakes are high for Samsung Electronics Co.'s rollout of the Note8, after the previous model's exploding battery fiasco last year.
Like the Note7, which was scrapped and cost the South Korean company an estimated $6 billion, the new smartphone sports a big screen and advanced features to make it a more versatile device compared with Samsung's main Galaxy S8 flagship product. Like its predecessors, it includes a stylus.
By keeping the same brand name, Samsung is making clear that the Note8 is an iterative (and better) device, and signals that it thinks it's fixed the problems with the previous version. While the Note doesn't command as wide an appeal as the Galaxy S line, both are premium devices in Samsung's efforts against Apple, Inc. in the battle for global smartphone supremacy. The Note also helps the Suwon-based manufacturer keep pressure on its rival just before the release of three new iPhone models in September.
The most significant change in the Note8 is a larger display that curves at the edges like the S8. The 6.3-inch AMOLED screen, a variant of the organic light-emitting diode display used on many recent high-end smartphones, is noticeably bigger than the Note7's 5.7-inch touchscreen and slightly larger than the Galaxy S8+'s 6.2-inch display. Although many phone makers are working on ways to get a fingerprint scanner built into the display, the Note8 — like many other models — will have one in the back.
The longer screen on the new phone lets users view more content, such as text messages and e-mails, without having to scroll, Samsung said in a demonstration. The Note8 also has new features for the stylus: users can write notes without unlocking the device, draw animated pictures that can be shared with contacts and words can be highlighted to be translated into different languages. The bigger screen also lets users swipe from the display's edge to launch two paired apps at a time in a split view.
The new smartphone from Samsung will also feature an upgraded camera system that sports two lenses on the back for the first time. Like the iPhone 7 Plus, the advanced optics let users take pictures that can determine depth so that the background behind a person's profile can appear blurred. The Note8 will also support Gigabit LTE, a faster networking technology for browsing the Web and downloading content, which the next iPhone won't have, Bloomberg News has reported.
Acer announced on Aug. 30 at the IFA 2017 in Berlin new additions to its premium Predator gaming line, which include the Predator Orion 9000 series gaming desktops with Windows 10, its most powerful to date.
Designed to inspire game play, the commanding aesthetics of the Predator Orion 9000 series feature a black-and-silver spacecraft-like exterior with customizable RGB lighting along the sides of the front bezel. A massive side window panel showcases the striking and powerful interior with a design that keeps electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels in check despite the size of the opening. Optional fans with customizable RGB lighting create a virtual light show for an even more arresting appearance. Outfitted with two handles and wheels covered with a carbon fiber pattern, the new rigs can be easily moved from one location to another. Tool-less side panels make component upgrades easy and the push-open top gives users a quick way to switch fans. A front-access headset cradle and cable management help keep the game area tidy.
The Predator Orion 9000 will offer up to a cutting-edge Intel® CoreTM i9 Extreme Edition 18-core processor and up to 128-GB quad-channel DDR4 memory, allowing it to handle compute-intensive tasks with ease while providing exceptional performance.
ASUS PHILIPPINES unveiled last Aug. 19 its latest smartphones under the Zenfone 4 series, which included Zenfone 4 , Zenfone 4 Pro, Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro, Zenfone 4 Selfie, and Zenfone 4 MAX. All feature a dual-camera system.
The premium models, the Zenfone 4 and 4 Pro, target mobile photography enthusiasts with improved rear camera specs such as 2x optical zoom (Zenfone 4 Pro), and bigger storage (Zenfone 4 at 4 GB RAM; 4 PRO at 6 GB RAM) compared to Asus' previous flagship, the Asus Zenfone 3 (4 GB RAM).
The two Zenfone 4 Selfie series, on the other hand, comes with Asus' "beautification" application called SelfieMaster. Its front-facing camera captures wide-angle shots and can be used when capturing videos, photos, as well as live streaming.
Lastly, the Zenfone 4 MAX features a 5000-mAh battery that Asus claims can last up to 46 days on stand-by. It doubles as a powerbank and charge other devices — otherwise known as "Reverse Charging." For the latest iteration, however, the ASUS promises 2x faster reverse — which means whatever is being charged will gain 100% battery life in no-time. — with reports from Bloomberg

The proverb may be a cliché, but that does make it untrue to say "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
In Zambia, that's exactly what Bread and Water for Africa® partner Kabwata Orphanage & Transit Centre is proposing to do, albeit on a much larger scale.
Angela Miyanda, director of the Kabwata Orphanage, founded the home in 1998 out of compassion for vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Zambia to provide them basic necessities of life.
"Through the provision of education, shelter, health, nutrition, love and security we try to help the children reach their full potential in life," says Angela.
To assist in the funding of the orphanage leading to self-sufficiency, she has created a banana plantation, which has expanded over the years because of its success and competent management, as well as a vegetable garden.
"Our long term goal is to achieve self-sufficiency," said Angela. "In order to do this we plan to expand our income generating projects."
But now, Angela is busily working on another income-generating project with help from Bread and Water for Africa® – fish farming.
The short, medium and long term goals for the fish farm is to first learn the guidelines to dig a fish pond and gain experience in its operation and then expand from there.
In addition, Angela notes that some of the older children at Kabwata will be included in the project for training as preparation for the time when they move out of the orphanage.
Angela said she has already acquired the land, and that it only takes a week to actually dig the pond, another 10 days to prepare the ponds for stocking and that the time to harvest will be between 90 and 120 days.
Angela is proposing two dig two ponds that will contain 3,000 fish each with additional stocking to occur at six-week intervals for continuation and projects making between $8,000 and $10,000 annually in profits.
In total, Angela estimates the fish ponds will result in the production of 24,000 fish annually. About a third of the fish –8,000 – will be used to feed the children at the orphanage, with the other two-thirds being sold at local markets to raise operating funds for Kabwata towards its goal of reaching self-sufficiency.
She has also already established a relationship with various shops that sell farm produce every day and they will be able to get from the project.
Initially, a group of six people will be necessary to operate the fish farm, as well as a farm manager with experience in fish farming and a supervisor with knowledge of water reticulation.
In requesting grant funding to dig the ponds, Angela comments that Kabwata has been a partner with Bread and Water for Africa® since inception.
"Today we look back at the many achievements and we are amazed at what faithfulness can be when two partners come together for the assistance of vulnerable people," she said.
"We are aware, that with time, the project will need to stand on its own for its continuity. The time is getting close and indeed we are getting ready to be weaned.
"Words will never be enough to pay our gratitude to the entire team of Bread and Water for Africa®. Children in the project have made higher than they ever expected. They are a testimony of what love can do.
"Thank you Bread and Water for Africa®. We will never disappoint you."

Born in Australia, Chef Jennifer McLagan did not take much interest in the culinary industry till the end of her secondary schooling after she started reading Jane Grigson and Elizabeth David. Jennifer earned her reputation by writing books on food and is the author of the book Fat: An appreciation of a misunderstood ingredient. She dropped out of Monash University where she studied politics and economics to pursue her passion and began her career in the culinary industry.
She started out as a chef in the Southern Cross Hotel in Melbourne and never once looked back. Jennifer currently lives in Toronto and splits most of her time between Toronto and Paris and often visits her home town Melbourne. She attributes her success to her colleagues for their active support and their generosity with culinary knowledge.
She supports the use of locally grown ingredients as a means to support the local farmers and to keep the food fresh and healthy. Jennifer has a weakness for white asparagus and truffles. She also loves game, blood sausages and mushrooms, which are some of her favourite ingredients to work with.
She believes that the will to share happiness and knowledge is a quality every great chef is required to have. That and a never ending enthusiasm to create good food.

I really want to give more of an update, but I don't intend to spend my vacation on Tobias's computer making long, well thought out blog entries, so I will just summarize my past few days:
-Sweden is just as beautiful in March as it was in July. Just, chillier.
-I have already seen a few friends and made a few new ones too! I love my Swedish friends.
-I am still really horrible at speaking and understanding Swedish.
- "Sluta snackar om mig!" I was taught this phrase to use when others are speaking Swedish.
-I saw a Viking rune stone. It was so beautiful I almost cried!!!
-Tomorrow I go to the Old Town, the oldest part of Stockholm. Im so excited.
-I tried Swedish milk. It's not disgusting like American milk is.
-I can drink black coffee now! I prefer not to, but it has a very interesting taste anyway.
-I, unaware of Swedish 220v, burnt a large piece of hair off by accident with my curling iron.
-But you can't tell.
A real update might come soon, but not before I take a BILLION pictures with my new digital camera!!!!!!

Josephine (#131) and Karen (#134) were donated to CSULB by Cornelius Shields himself, in 1967. The boats became the foundation for Shields Fleet 20.
Fast and smooth through the water in her younger days, Josephine was always a club favorite among skippers. But 40 years of sailing took their toll, and in 2007 she was removed from the water and moved to the club's shipyard, where she's awaited a complete hull restoration.
But finally, after 8 years of waiting, the club recently raised the money for her restoration in Summer 2014. The work began in October and in nearly complete. She'll be back on the water as soon as June 2015.
More on Josephine
Hull Number: 131
Built: 1967, by Chris Craft Corporation
Acquired: 1967, from Cornelius Shields
Restored: 2014-15

Yesterday afternoon one of our project workers wrote a small blog about what he got up to yesterday….
Today on the farm there is no electric on in the new cafe because the builders are sorting out the new electrics in the barn. They are having to use a generator to cook the food.
In the morning our group held a mini Olympics with Jimbo and Willow (two of our horses). This was to see how good or bad we are at handling the horses. We also watched Billy (another one of our horses) get lunged. She was feeling a bit feisty. She was being silly and slipped but she was fine and then did some jumps on the lunge.
In the afternoon i helped another project worker write down the numbers 1 to 10 in college.

A NEW spongy material which could revolutionise surgery and save lives has been developed in Manchester.
Scientist Dr Chris Underwood, who has spent years perfecting the technology for a new generation of implantable medical devices, is seeking the funding which could make it a commercial and medical reality.
The artificial material, which has elastic flexibility, is said to be unlike any other on the market and unmatched for its diverse range of applications.
It is capable of making huge improvements in surgery for vascular disease, and was developed to replace diseased blood vessels which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
For example, a heart by-pass operation could be simplified because the synthetic tubing could be used instead of replacement blood vessels which are usually taken from the patient's own leg.
But the concept also has the multi-million pound potential to be used in place of other soft tissue - such as eye corneas, spinal discs, or cosmetically.
As a safe breast implant, for example, the material would be ideal because it has nothing in it to leak, unlike silicone implants, which are alleged to have caused such damage to patients in the past, says Dr Underwood. Synthetic replacements for blood vessels have been used for many years, but are rigid and do not give or stretch.
This new material is so flexible, that it behaves very like the natural tissue of the body, allowing blood to flow more easily through the implants.
After years spent developing the ground-breaking material he is now seeking to raise up to é2m for initial commercialisation, and to undertake further patienttrials and testing.
"This is world-leading technology, but that was the easy part compared with raising the funding for further development," said Dr Underwood, who in 1997 founded the CuMedica Group, based at Campus Ventures, the business incubator based at Manchester University, to develop the fledgling idea.
The project has attracted funding from the Department of Trade and Industry, with two SMART awards of around é250,000 for feasibility studies, and é200,000 from seedcorn investment company WorkNorth 11.
The company had estimated the market for replacement blood vessels and heart valves alone could be é1bn a year.
But, if used in tissue engineering, the potential is believed to be nearer é20bn a year, says Dr Underwood.

The first data set has been released by a team of British scientists taking part in an international, multi-organizational effort to stem the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone.
The scientists have developed a genetic analysis, which is now available online at www.virological.org. With this information, other members of the scientific community are able to study the evolution of the pathogen in real time.
The research of the British scientists was funded by the Wellcome Trust and was conducted using semi-conductor next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The resulting data generated in a lab funded by Public Health England and International Medical Corps.
Ian Goodfellow, Ph.D., head of virology at the University of Cambridge in England, volunteered twice at the diagnostic laboratory of an Ebola treatment center in one of the most Ebola-ridden areas of Sierra Leone. He came back a third time to research the virus using the advanced NGS technology.
"Sequencing the genome of a virus can tell us a lot about how it spreads and changes as it passes from person to person," Dr. Paul Kellam, professor of the virus genomics laboratory at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said. "While this information is invaluable to researchers, the rapid sharing of data does not always occur."
Kellam leads the group of scientists mapping the genomic data from Goodfellow and his colleagues.
Since the first case of Ebola in West Africa was reported in March 2014, nearly 11,000 people have died there from the disease.
The cutting-edge sequencing system was put in place in a laboratory next to an Ebola Treatment Centre in Makeni. This was funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development and is run by Public Health England; the Ebola Treatment Centre is run by International Medical Corps.
"This important and timely effort to better understand Ebola's evolution at the molecular level would not have been possible without the active participation and support from each organization involved," said Chris Linthwaite, president of genetic sciences at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
A similar sequencing system is slated to be installed at the University of Makeni.
"We've learned many painful lessons from the Ebola outbreak, not least of which is that as a scientific community we must become less secretive with the data that is generated," Dr. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, said. "The Wellcome Trust is delighted to support this crucial work with its center of gravity in Sierra Leone."

All but the footrim and base covered in a crackled, cream-tone glaze that pools to a pale celadon-tone in the crevices of the petals and as it falls towards the base of the vessel.
