We're back with another informative post here on the Seattle Stem Cell Center Blog! This time around we want to take a look at one facet of stem cell science that gets a lot of interest– amniotic stem cells. We focus on using adult mesenchymal stem cells only, found in fat cells and exosomes to boost stem cell strength and activity which has no genetic material or DNA. We do carry mesenchymal stem cells taken from the lining of the umbilical cord called Wharton's Jelly. This is considered a tissue and has a very high screening requirement and we feel is a safer and more powerful option than amniotic stem cells, especially given the recent contamination outbreak as twelve people were hospitalized in the US from contaminated amniotic stem cell treatments with a result in a nationwide recall.
Amniotic Stem Cells -What Are They?
Any mixture of cells that are gathered from amniotic fluid and or membrane are "amniotic stem cells". Much like other stem cells they can develop into a number of different tissues, including bone, muscle, skin, cartilage, even cardiac and nerve tissues! Amniotic stem cells must be frozen and the number of live stem cells in amniotic fluid is minimal to none after this process. Clinics that use amniotic stem cells will tell you how many stem cells are in the "dose" but they often to not do a cell count prior to your treatment as we do.
How Are Amniotic Stem Cells Harvested?
The name 'amniotic' gives us a clear picture of where those cells are found of course, but did you know that amniotic fluid is produced from the urine of the growing baby? The next logical question is 'Just how do we get that?' That process is called 'amniocentesis.'
Amniocentesis was originally developed as a manner of determining the sex of the fetus, and later it was developed for its most common use as a way to determine any possible chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders. But that's not all!
That same process is used for getting amniotic stem cells. In the procedure, also known as amniocentesis, a local anesthetic is given and then a needle is inserted through the abdominal wall, then the womb, until it enters the amniotic sac. Then the fluid is withdrawn. Wharton's Jelly is harvested from donated placenta and umbilical cord from healthy live births in the USA. Wharton's Jelly is the lining of the umbilical cord. After the stem cells are harvested, screened for safety they are then manufactured in the same way a medication is.
Why Use Umbilical Cord aka Wharton's Jelly Stem Cells?
A common thing I hear from patients and when I am giving lectures to physicians is, "Aren't amniotic stem cells better than my old and sick stem cells from my own body?"
Amniotic stem cells and Umbilical Cord stem cells are certainly "younger" but what exactly does that mean? Younger stem cells have two main attributes; they are able to replicate and turn into other cells and tissues at a faster rate and there are a larger number of them. They are adult stem cells which ensures that they are free from the risk of tumor formation and cancer associated with embryonic and fetal stem cells.
Why would I use my own old Stem Cells?
It has been shown in research that your own stem cells have a communication system to find and heal your own body. For example, when you cut your right index finger, your stem cells communicate with your body and they grow new skin on your right index finger where it is needed and not on the end of your nose! This cell to cell communication is an essential guiding system to help a stem cell treatment be targeted to where the problem is in your body.
If Umbilical Cord Cells are Younger can I combine them with my own stem cell?
YES! We often have patients that want to do everything they can to get the best outcome possible. There is a lot of research that shows your own stem cells are effective. By banking your own stem cells you are able to overcome the low quantity (they are grown for you in the lab) but they still have the perfect guidance system for you. It is possible to safely combine youthful Umbilical Cord Stem cells, your own stem cells and exosomes to create a supercharged stem cell treatment.
Interested in a treatment? Wondering if stem cells are right for you? Suffering from any of a number of conditions that have taken the Vitality out of your life? Or, do you simply want to prepare yourself for any future treatments with our stem cell banking process? US Stemology and Seattle Stem Cell Center can help with all of these and more, as well as give the holistic care to heal the body, not just the injury. Fill out our health intake form or reach out for a consultation today. US Stemology and Seattle Stem Cell is a part of a national clinical trial, and you can be sure that your results will be worthy of it.

Release Date: July 6,2017
July 6, 2017
While it was Julia Child who declared "Life itself is the proper binge," another chef who has decided to call Santa Barbara home has taken those words to heart.
In 2014, Duvaldi Marneweck, a South African who made a name for himself in Australia, decided to relocate from Perth to New York City. Upon his arrival, Mr. Marneweck set about channeling his unique culinary perspective into a stall at Smorgasburg, Brooklyn's famed artisanal food vendor market, that he dubbed Goa Taco.
Six months later, Goa Taco was the talk of the town and the unassuming South African-born Australian had his own brick-and-mortar establishment on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Last year, Mr. Marneweck decided to relocate yet again, this time to Santa Barbara — and he brought his lauded take on tacos with him.
"We've only been open about three weeks and while it has been a crazy three weeks, it's also been fun — even if we've had to do a lot of explaining about the name," Mr. Marneweck told the News Press during a visit to the recently opened State Street eatery.
While the name "Goa" (GO'-uh) immediately inspires visions of a far-flung exotic paradise — which, by the way, is what Mr. Marneweck's gorgeously eccentric tacos also conjure — the name has a slightly more down-to-earth Australian origin.
When thirst hits while socializing down under, it is quite common to hear someone declare, "I could 'go a' beer right now." With that in mind, Mr. Marneweck figured folks here could always "go a" taco.
That's where the explanation stops, as Mr. Marneweck's paratha tacos speak for themselves.
Served in a shell made by folding a round of paratha (a layered, flaky Indian flatbread) in half, the tacos are then filled with various world flavors before being flattened in a panini press. Fittingly, the origin of this intriguing and delicious take on street food is as unique as the concept itself.
"I used to make these things when we were back in Australia," Mr. Marneweck said. Southeast Asian cuisine, such as paratha, is popular in the country. "I would go camping with mates down south around Margaret River and would cook these up for my friends. I used to make a bacon and egg one for breakfast, and, one day, I decided to put a name to it. I called them tacos because you kind of hold them like tacos."
Prior to moving to New York City in 2014, Mr. Marneweck worked as a chef in several restaurants in and around the Western Australian city of Perth — most notably Clint Nolan's acclaimed North Fremantle restaurant, Harvest.
"When we came to the U.S., I thought it was probably time to do my own thing," said Mr. Marneweck, who landed in the States with his girlfriend. "So I applied to get into the Smorgasburg market in Brooklyn and I thought these little paratha tacos I've been cooking up would be a good concept because they were a street food that nobody else was doing. Once I got into the market, the whole thing developed from there."
The concept is still developing. In bringing his paratha tacos to the West Coast upon his girlfriend taking a job here, Mr. Marneweck has expanded the Goa Taco menu to include appetizers and sides.
The portion of the menu dubbed Snacks, priced at $7 or under, includes Garam Masala Fried Chickpeas; Mexican Street Corn, Hominy, Queso Fresco; Raclette Cheesy Quesadilla, Sweet Potato Salsa; Pickled Beetroot, Kale, Burrata, Queso Fundido; and House-Made Chicharron, Hot Sauce. House-made Corn Chips ($3) with guacamole, bean dip or salsa add-ons are also available.
Then there's the Paratha Tacos, which come in an array of tantalizing options.
The meat choices include Slow Roasted Pork Belly with pickled red cabbage and chipotle mayo; Recado Rojo Lamb Shoulder with tzatziki and eggplant salsa; Five-Spice Confit Duck with hot mustard pickled cucumber, radish, sweet soy and sesame; House-made Chicken Chorizo with Brussels sprout slaw and fontina cheese; and Mojo beef with pinto bean puree, smoked jalape¢o and plantain chips.
Vegetarian options include a Tofu Banh Mi Taco with shiitake mushroom pate, crunchy vegetables and peanuts; Paneer Cheese with spinach pesto, garam masala fried chickpea and pickled tomatillo; and Spiced Honey Roasted Squash with kale, queso pepita and salsa verde.
The tacos range from $6.50 to $8.50.
Rounding off the menu are a couple of Sweet Treats, such as a chocolate hazelnut mascarpone Churro ($2.75) and a dulce de leche, banana, chocolate puffed rice Paratha Taco ($5). In addition to the food, there is a selection of beer, wine and Fun Drinks including Micheladas, Agave Wine Margaritas and Spicy Habanero Agave Wine Margaritas.
"I have a lot of other things that I want to try out too," Mr. Marneweck said. "I want to introduce a brunch menu soon including the original bacon and egg taco that I made up while camping one morning as well as a whole bunch of different egg tacos."
With patrons still lining up out the door of the New York City restaurant and the Santa Barbara eatery now up and running, Mr. Marneweck is also doing a weekly Sunday pop-up in Los Angeles as part of the West Coast installment of Smorgasburg.
While critics have delighted in debating the nomenclature of Mr. Marneweck's handheld creations, the architect of the Goa Taco says all that really matters is what his customers think.
"Every culture has some sort of handheld street food with some sort of bread wrapped around a filling," Mr. Marneweck said. "They're given all these different names. But tacos, wraps and sandwiches are a pretty universal thing no matter what you call them.
"And, so far, people seem to like these."
email: email@example.com
Goa Taco, 718 State St., is open 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday; 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday; and 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information, call 770-7079 or visit www.goataco.com.

Get the straight teeth you have always wanted with Invisalign treatment in Los Angeles, CA
Crooked teeth can not only affect your confidence, but also cause problems with your bite, receding gums, tooth sensitivity, or uneven wear patterns on your teeth. Fortunately, with Invisalign treatment, straightening your teeth has never been easier or more comfortable. Whether you want to straighten your teeth for cosmetic reasons, oral health reasons, or both, Dr. Mamta Dalwani and the experienced team at the Center for Holistic Dentistry in Los Angeles, CA can work with you to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you and provide the high quality care you deserve throughout the treatment process.
How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses clear tooth aligners that are placed over your teeth, similar to a mouthguard, to shift your teeth into the right place.
The aligners are custom-designed for your individual mouth using digital images of your teeth and the latest software and technology to obtain optimal results. Throughout Invisalign treatment, you are provided with several sets of aligners that are used in a series to progressively shift the placement of your teeth until they are straight and your jaw bites down correctly.
Benefits of Invisalign
The aligners used in Invisalign treatment are thin and clear, so they are nearly impossible for others to see when you are wearing them. Additionally, Invisalign has several other benefits over more traditional orthodontic tooth straightening methods like metal braces or clear braces:
- The aligners are removable, so you will not have any dietary restrictions such as avoiding sticky, chewy, or crunchy foods
- With the removable aligners, you can more effectively and thoroughly clean your teeth by brushing and flossing each day than if there were brackets and wires on your teeth, resulting in fewer cavities or stains than you would potentially get with braces
- The aligners are comfortable in your mouth and do not involve any wires or pointy metal parts that can injure your mouth or cause discomfort
- Invisalign can work faster than traditional braces – most people wear braces for an average of 3 years, while Invisalign treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months
- A computerized system is used to plan your Invisalign treatment, so you can see what your end results will be before your treatment even begins
What to expect during the Invisalign treatment process
The first step in straightening your teeth with Invisalign is a consultation with a highly qualified dentist experienced in Invisalign treatment like Dr. Mamta Dalwani. The dentist will discuss your goals and examine your overall oral health, the position of your current teeth, and your bite to determine whether Invisalign is the best option for your needs.
The dentist will also discuss the cost of Invisalign treatment, which is typically about the same as the cost of traditional braces. The cost varies depending on your current teeth and how many sets of aligners will be needed to achieve the desired results. Your insurance company may cover some of the cost of the treatment like they would for other orthodontic treatments.
The next step is to take digital impressions of your mouth using precise 3D imaging technology. These images are then used to digitally create your aligners. A series of aligners will be created that you switch out to progressively straighten your teeth over time.
When the aligners are ready, the dentist will give them to you and make sure that they fit well. The dentist will also provide you instructions on everything you need to know about how to use and care for the aligners and your mouth during your treatment. This includes how many hours to wear them per day, cleaning the aligners, when to move to the next set of aligners and any other questions you may have.
During the treatment process, you will need to see the dentist every six to eight weeks to make sure that your teeth are straightening as expected and provide you with the next sets of aligners as needed. When you first put on a new set of aligners, you may feel some tightness or discomfort for the first few days as your teeth begin to adjust to the new aligners. This is a good sign that your Invisalign treatment is working and the discomfort usually passes after a few days.
Get the smile you have always dreamed about with Invisalign treatment! Call Dr. Mamta Dalwani at (310) 340-0153 to schedule your consultation today.

I'm a big fan of any kind of chess pie. My Buttermilk, Peach Chess, and Eggnog Chess Piesare all delicious winners in my book. But I will admit that Chocolate Chess Pie is probably my favorite. It just has the most perfect, creamy, chocolatey filling and I just love the crusty top that forms as it bakes.
The best part, though, is how dang easy it is to make. You mix all the ingredients together and pour them into a prepared pie crust.
Now, when it comes to the crust, I like to use the pre-made, rolled-up pie crusts that you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store over by the canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls. It allows me to use my own pie plate but doesn't have me making a homemade crust – which I appreciate. That said, the preformed frozen crusts work just as well. All you overachievers can make a crust from scratch if you have some extra time.
Regardless of what kind of crust you bake it in, this pie is destined to be a new family favorite. My folks just love it – and always have. It's one of those classic southern recipes that has been around for ages. In fact, the original recipe I have made two pies – like many old pie recipes do – so I just cut everything in half to make one. As a result, this doubles beautifully if you need two pies. And, I mean, who doesn't need two pies? Ha. Y'all enjoy.
Chocolate Chess Pie
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought is fine)
- whipped cream, if desired
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar and cornstarch.
- Add in the beaten egg, melted butter, milk and vanilla.
- Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a crust has formed completely across the top of the pie and is mostly set.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

'Attack on Titan' Reveals First Season 3B Trailer
'Attack on Titan' Reveals First Season 3B Trailer
|'Attack on Titan' Reveals First Season 3B Trailer
The second half of Attack on Titan's third season is officially slated for a big premiere this April, and fans are in for quite an intense experience if this first look at the rest of the season is anything to go by. The first half of the third season came to an end as the Survey Corps and the military prepared to retake Wall Maria and headed to the Shiganshina District.
Now that Eren has acquired a more stable hardening Titan power, this is humanity's chance to fight back and get back an important part of their territory. But it's not going to be so easy as fans found at the end of the third season part one that Reiner and Bertholdt are there waiting to intercept them. This first trailer for Season 3B teases the first taste of this major battle against the two, and it's going to much harder to watch for the series to return now.
Attack on Titan was originally created by Hajime Isayama, and the series has since been collected into 23 volumes as of 2017. It's set in a world where the last remnants of humanity live within a walled city in order to escape the danger of the Titans, a race of giants monsters that eats humans. The lead character, Eren Yeager, ends up joining the military with his two childhood friends Mikasa and Armin after the Titans break through the wall and attack his hometown. Now Eren, Mikasa, and Armin must survive in a world where they not only have the Titans to fear, but the very humans they are trying to save. You can currently find the series streaming on Crunchyroll, Funimation.
We are curious about how the series may end, however, series creator Hajime Isayama recently revealed the final page of the manga, meaning that not only is the endgame of the series nearing than ever there's a concrete ending in mind.

Letter writing usually doesn't take very long. Most professionals spend up to an hour engaged in letter writing every day, yet individual letters don't tend to receive a lot of attention. As such, the idea of getting help with letter writing is not something you're likely to have considered. But hasty letter writing can be a mistake. Every now and again, getting a letter right can be absolutely essential to career success. That's when a letter writing professional can make all the difference.
Despite the generic nature of much modern correspondence, letter writing still tends to be seen as a highly personal activity. For this reason, mistakes in letter writing can reflect very badly on the writer. Letter writing can also require much more subtle language skills. For instance, there will be times when you need to make your letter writing highly persuasive, or when you need to make it emotionally convincing. Letter writing professionals are skilled in work of this type. Although it might seem odd to get somebody else involved in your correspondence, professional letter writing can, ironically, be very effective at adding the personal touch.
As well as helping with difficult individual missives, letter writing professionals can help you to produce generic letters which you can then go on to use on a regular basis. It's well worth employing a letter writing professional to generate mass marketing letters, for instance, as these will make a much better impression on potential customers if they're well written and free from mistakes. As you'll only need to get this kind of letter writing done once, but you can benefit from it many times, it's a great investment.
Letter writing isn't something which you should treat casually. High quality letter writing can greatly improve the impression you make as a professional, so keep letter writing services in mind next time you run into difficulty with your correspondence.

This report takes a long-term view to expanding the middle class and creating more security among those who do achieve a middle-class life. Looking ahead to where the United States should aspire to be a decade from now, the report advances policy proposals that would be phased in over time and are bold enough to fully meet the challenges at hand. The agenda focuses on higher education, home ownership, and adequate income – three strategies that have historically been pivotal to the expansion of the middle class. Each of these strategies empowers individuals to advance themselves through self-improvement and hard work. The three strategies work in combination with one another to help people to move up the ladder of economic opportunity and, in turn, pass on opportunity to their children.
Top Facts:
• The Contract for College would strengthen the middle class through a dramatic expansion of investments—in partnership with the private and nonprofit sectors—that will give millions of young people a shot at middle-class success by doubling the percentage of college-qualified students from low- and moderate-income families who enroll and complete degrees at 4-year colleges.
• Homeownership and savings have historically been pivotal to securing a place in the middle class. To boost assets for low-income families, this report proposes making the mortgage interest deduction refundable, creating a matching savings program for low-income families, and providing each newborn child with an asset account endowed with $6,000 at birth.
• Closing the gap between wages and the cost of living could be achieved by raising the minimum wage and indexing it to inflation, introducing a Working Families Tax Credit to assure that full-time workers earn enough to provide a minimally decent life, and creating a Federal Office of Living Standards to assess the income needs of households in different parts of the US and set guidelines for policymakers.
• Affording a stronger middle class will require rearranging national priorities. The investments proposed in this paper are not out of line with investments made during the great period of middle-class expansion in the early postwar period. In the long run, these earlier investments more than paid for themselves by helping to fuel decades of dynamic economic growth.

Beau Miklethun wanted something unique, and he got it. Starting with an inline-six powered 1968 Ford Mustang, Beau wanted more power without sacrificing the novelty of his straight six. When conventional thinking said to put in an LS motor, Beau, growing up with The Fast and The Furious, decided to put in the "Japanese LS" instead. The 2JZ motor, famously used in the Supra and other Toyotas, provided the power, reliability and strangeness Miklethun required. After blowing an engine and going through a handful of transmissions, he is finally happy with his Toyota powered, Gulf liveried muscle car.
The turbo six cylinder Japanese motor in an American icon is sure to ruffle some feathers, and Beau knows it, painting "Abomination" on the valve cover so it is the first thing to greet anyone who opens the hood.
Whether it is an abomination, sacrilege or just a creative engine choice, Beau says his experience with the car is pretty much what you'd expect:
"Everybody is really nice in person, not so much on the internet"
He promises his next project will be even crazier.

When it comes to first-year associates' salaries, history has again repeated itself.
Even though some of the nation's largest law firms made news for increasing first-year salaries to $190,000 in 2018, hardly all firms followed suit, according to the National Association for Law Placement's (NALP) 2019 Associate Salary Survey report, which was released recently.
That's also what happened in 2017, when some firms upped the starting first-year salary to $180,000.
And that's what happened in 2007, when the first-year salary went up to $160,000.
It normally takes a couple of years for the hike to become more prevalent — yet hardly universal. Additionally, the top salaries are mostly awarded to associates working in larger cities, such as New York and Los Angeles.
"As with other associate base pay hikes in the past, while the press focus is usually on how quickly law firms race to meet a market change like this one, the data reveal that there are in fact many large law firm offices that are still not paying $190,000 as a base first-year salary," said NALP's executive director James Leipold, in a news release.
This year's report shows, however, that the $190,000 starting salary was the most often reported. It accounted for nearly 30 percent of all reported first-year salaries. It was not enough, though, to make it the median, even in the largest firms.
The median at the largest firms — those of 701+ lawyers — was $180,000, up from the $155,000 two years ago. That was the biggest statistical increase, at 16 percent.
Other firms, according to NALP, did not report a similar kind of hike.
NALP reported: "Some modest growth was seen in firm sizes of 251-500 lawyers, with median first-year base salaries moving from $150,000 in 2017 to $160,000 in 2019 (6.7 percent increase). Median first-year base salaries in 2019 for firm sizes of 51-100 lawyers ($115,000), 101-250 lawyers ($115,000), and 501-700 lawyers ($160,000) were flat or relatively flat compared to 2017.
NALP also noted that the increase in the largest firms came at the same time that Big Law reported its most successful earnings cycle ever.

New sentencing guidelines for offenders convicted of child cruelty come into effect on 1 January 2019 across England and Wales. The guidelines, published by the Sentencing Council, cover three offences:
The new guidelines mark the first time guidance has been issued for the offences of causing or allowing a child to die or suffer serious physical harm and failing to protect a girl from the risk of FGM. The guidelines also provide revised guidance for the offence of cruelty to a child, replacing previous guidelines issued in 2008.
The guidelines introduce a new aggravating factor of an offender blaming others for an offence as such cases frequently involve one parent or carer/guardian seeking to blame the other to avoid prosecution.
Child cruelty offences are complex and can vary greatly. Some offenders may be incompetent parents, while others may deliberately inflict harm on children in their care. Offences could include parents or guardians leaving children home alone, neglecting them or putting them at risk through alcohol or drug abuse or subjecting them to sustained and deliberate ill-treatment and violence that leads to serious injury or death.
Offences could also involve a parent or guardian having failed to act to protect their child from ill-treatment by someone else in the household, which could be due to them being victims of violence and intimidation from the same person themselves.
The guidelines are available at: www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk

The MGR Phenomenon: How to be Worshipped by Those You Exploit
Films and politics have shared a close relationship in Tamil Nadu. From being a medium for anti-British propaganda, films in Tamil Nadu evolved to provide the Dravidian Movement the required filip and enabled the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)'s success in elections.
But, what edge do those with a silver screen presence have over other contenders? How can films be used by the dominant strata to manufacture consent among common people? In his writings on Tamil Nadu over the years, MSS Pandian painted a vivid picture of how an image on screen can transform into a phenomenon which affects real lives of common people.
In the following mind map, we explore how MG Ramachandran (MGR), popular actor and subsequently the founder of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party in Tamil Nadu, could become one such phenomenon.

NEWARK, United States (CMC) — Caribbean nationals are among 36 people arrested by law enforcement authorities in the United States during a five-day operation as part of an on-going "public safety efforts" campaign.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that the operation targeted criminal immigrants who were previously incarcerated at the Middlesex County Jail (MCJ) in New Jersey, and who were subsequently released to the community by MCJ without honouring the ICE detainer or advising ICE of their release.
An immigration detainer is a tool used by ICE and other US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials when the agency identifies potentially deportable individuals who are held in jails or prisons nationwide, according to the American Immigration Council.
Typically, it said detainers are issued by an authorised immigration official or local police officer designated to act as an immigration official under section 287(g) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
ICE said the operation also targeted other criminal immigrants residing in Middlesex County. The Caribbean immigrants arrested as part of the operation were nationals of Anguilla, Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Others were nationals of El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, Paraguay, Philippines and Turkey.
ICE said these individuals range from 19 to 62 years old, and all were previously arrested or convicted of a variety of offenses.
Some of the arrests and convictions included sexual assault of a minor, child abuse, criminal restraint of a minor, domestic violence, possession of narcotics, distribution of narcotics, robbery, receiving stolen property, theft, aggravated assault, hindering apprehension, resisting officer, driving under the influence (DUI), unsworn falsification, possession of a weapon, burglary, prostitution and illegal re-entry into the US.
ICE said among those arrested during the operation included a Trinidadian citizen arrested for "hindering apprehension and unsworn falsification."

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? This is a well-known anti-war song made by Peter Seeger. He used more modest folk songs to interpret and remind common people that everything would come to the dust and people should return to the nature. I opened the door of retro café. Old radio, camera, red sofa chair, mosaic floor tile and window furnishings with mixed picture frame were full of retro nostalgia. A trace of sweet and flowery flavor fled from the incense plate, filling the air, as if walking into the busy and noisy 1970s. Then I bought a cup of Coffee Latte, and listened to the favorite Hippie music, as if returning to the 1970s.
The incense on the desk of the café owner triggers my soul into the Hippie area. The shape of the incense plate is unique and elegant, causing my desire to explore. The incense curling upwards, the slight fire beating, and the black carved designs seem to be very unconventional. What surprises me is, although it looks like a summer mosquito coil plate, its artistic conception and texture are very different. Therefore, I chatted with the café owner due to my curiosity, and the boss laughed and said, "many people have asked me about it, because the incense plate makes people think of the summer nights in their childhood".
This kind of camellia incense plate is from Tsubamesanjo of Japan. When I firstly saw this camellia incense plate, it also made me think of a dusk in my childhood. In the courtyard, my grandpa and grandma were drinking tea, and children were playing games. Those leisure memories were accompanied by this kind of incense flavor, so I decided to take it back to my store. It is very suitable for subtropical summers. On the daytime, I'll light the incense to fill the café with aroma; at night, I'll move the incense plate to the door side to repel mosquitoes. What a great idea! One object can be used for two purposes with the same interest and fun. The incense plate not only can be used as vessel or dish, but also can be used to repel mosquitoes.
By the explanation of the boss, this camellia incense plate made me think of a poem "silver candle, autumn light and cold painted screen, holding a small fan to flutter fireflies; the night sky is cool as if water, lying down to see the stars Altair and Vega". The poem says "holding a small fan to flutter fireflies", but chasing and beating mosquitoes was one of the most interesting games in our childhood. The summer night in the south is really a good time. The boss went on saying, "in addition to the materials of the incense, the selection for the plate is very important. Even if the plate is very simple, the Japanese craftsmen make it carefully".
Then I immediately look up Tsubamesanjo on the internet. Tsubamesanjo, as an important metal processing town, is a joint name of Tsubame and Sanjō in Niigata of middle Japan. The output of metal tableware in Tsubamesanjo accounts for 95% of the total Japanese output. The craftsmen in the workshops need to hammer repeatedly, so as to make various high-quality and practical ironware. The professional spirits of Japanese craftsmen have been integrated into the fabrication of incense plates. Tsubamesanjo is the worth the name of "Japanese Iron Man".
It is originated from Chinese incense, which spread into Japan in Tang Dynasty, and became one part of Japanese culture. In Japan, every family has incense plates. At the time of welcoming guests, Japanese will light the incense. Different incenses will be used at different occasions.
The incense culture extended from the incense, with the effect of calming the mind, is called "Three Graces" together with tea ceremony and flower culture. In the past, playing incense and tasting incense were games of Japanese nobles, and a multi- function incense plate was also a necessary tool for playing and tasting incense. This JIZODO (地藏堂) camellia incense plate is Japanese art and craft.
This Ksitigarbha Temple camellia incense plate is cast by iron and other similar materials, with simple shape. Its base adopts one body design; the pattern on the cover is very beautiful, like a blooming flower. After lighting the incense, close it with the cover to avoid unpleasant smoke. Its weight is 1.1 kg. Don't worry about being knocked over by children.
By the high temperature, the flavor of the incense material is driven out. Come close to taste its flavor changes. The fragrance fluctuates, as if a brilliant classic music, bringing different feelings and leading a person to endless aftertastes.

Do you still use traditional mosquito coils? The smoke produced after lighting not only smells unpleasant, but also is harmful to human bodies and carcinogenic. The lavender flowers not only smell sweet, but also repel mosquitoes. In fact, the smell of mosquito coils may be good.
Lavender mosquito coils imported from Japan are safe and non-toxic. With the purple appearance of lavender, in addition to insect repellent, they can calm the mind. In 2 hours, it can bring quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
Although we can't return to the ancient times, we can own the elegance of a plate of incense. Sitting quietly in burning incense, the nervous mood will soon be relaxed.
On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, mosquitoes will appear due to continuous rain and hot weather. Mosquito coil products are always hot selling, and we will bring you different feelings in the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
- Posted on: May 15 2019
As the prevalence of mental health conditions continues to increase, dedicating space specifically for the conversation of children's mental health is vital to our families, our communities, and to the global population. Children's Mental Health Awareness Day occurred on May 9th. Children and adolescents may not have the ability or security to understand or describe what is happening in their life and mind. Awareness days and months provide us with the opportunity to stand beside these children and advocate for them as they learn to do so for themselves.
Common Mental Health Challenges in Children
The human brain does not reach full development until about the age of 28 years. This means that children and teens, as well as young adults, continue to be vulnerable to conditions that originate in genetics, and are then complicated by subsequent exposure to the wide range of life experiences — psychosocial stressors, academic stress, trauma, addiction, neglect, and so on. Many disorders begin in early childhood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that approximately 1 in 6 young children (aged 2 to 8 years) have a behavioral, mental, or developmental condition. Many conditions commonly occur together. Some of the more common diagnoses include:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Anxiety Disorders
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Behavioral disorders
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Tourette Syndrome
Attending to Children's Emotional Needs
Every human has emotional needs that are just as important as their physical needs. One of the first steps that parents, teachers, and caregivers can take is to observe emotional health in this light and give it the thoughtful attention it requires. When needed, professional help should be considered. By learning how to identify a mental health concern, those who are in the position to help a child can do so earlier rather than later.
Know the Signs
There are several ways in which a mental health problem may present in a child. A professional evaluation is critical to identifying if a true disorder exists and, if so, how best to approach it so the child can enjoy an optimal quality of life. A psychiatric evaluation can benefit a child who:
- Is irritable or sad
- Tends to be worried or anxious
- Has frequent nightmares
- Frequently expresses fear
- Has angry outbursts
- Avoids being around people
- Is showing less interest in previously preferred activities
- Is socializing less than before
- Talks about death or suicide
- Can't sit still or maintain appropriate attention
- Damages property or hurts people or pets

Collaboration has always been an integral part of working practice. Through social connection and engagement, ideas are expanded and people begin to challenge themselves and each other to produce better output. An increasing body of research has shown that traditional collaborative workspaces are not providing the necessary atmosphere to harness maximum productivity. A move towards more versatile environments has been shown to improve productivity, wellbeing, and quality of work.
Continuing or workspace inspiration series, we turn to working environments for group activities, and what it takes to create a successful collaboration space.
Traditional Vs Modern Collaboration - Whats the difference?
What does it take to have a successful collaboration area? This question is frequently asked by facilities managers, architects and designers when tasked with designing workspaces. The answer, of course, lies in the function of the spaces.
Traditionally, the purpose of collaboration areas was for the dissemination of information to large groups of people and for group decision making. This includes conference rooms, lecture theatres and formal meeting spaces.
Recently, there has been a shift towards focusing on social engagement, away from a single directional flow of information and a more egalitarian approach. Modern collaboration areas include huddle, video conference, and brainstorm rooms, alongside areas for small unplanned meetings.
There is still place for the traditional collaboration spaces, such as boardrooms. Featured above, HÅG H09.
Aspects for a successful collaboration space
So how do you create a successful collaboration space?
We have identified four aspects to consider when designing or implementing a collaboration working area.
1. Technology
Video conferencing and projectors are standard equipment in most modern collaboration rooms. Utilising technology efficiently is key to a successful collab environment. Featured above, RBM Noor.
Understanding the role of technology is key to creating a successful collaboration zone. Ensuring participants have easy access to power and the internet are basic necessities in the modern workplace. Almost everything is done digitally and online, ignoring this will stifle creativity. Other considerations include:
Sharing Software – There are so many out there right now - Don't be a late adopter. You should constantly be evaluating the scene and checking if there anything you can use. Basecamp, Huddle, Smart Sheet as well as Google Docs online document sharing and good examples of collaborative software.
Visual Displays – Access to a projector or television screen gives people the ability to share digital information more effectively.
WIFI - No wifi no work – everything is done digitally and online. Ignore this and you stifle creativity.
Power - Gone are the days of a 3 week battery life on your mobile phone. Ensuring ample power supplies ensures that you aren't hampered.
2. Furnishings
Multi level surfaces, visual displays, quirky objects and seating which promotes a variety of postures can all help stimulate minds in brainstorming spaces. Featured above, HÅG Capisco.
Brainstorming rooms are all about creativity, and are the fastest growing type of collaboration space. They should include:
Ensuring you have inviting colours, natural light and the right sized room can go alongway to creating the right atmosphere. Featured above, HÅG Capisco Puls.
Creating the right atmosphere is key. Make your room too big or too small and you can disturb creative juices. Having an array of different sized rooms gives flexibility and also means that space is utilised more efficiently, with the right amount of room for the right amount of people.
Lighting and colours also play a key role in this, which you can read more about here.
4. Amenities
Strong coffee, strong lighting and a homely feel can all improve productivity in group areas. Featured above, HÅG SoFi & HÅG SoFi mesh.
Providing the right resources is essential in keeping productivity up. Access to good coffee, healthy foods and natural daylight go a long way to harnessing creativity and initiative. Other considerations include providing a visual connection to other working areas, to reduce any feelings of isolation. Making people feel at home is key.
Even traditional collaboration spaces such as lecture rooms can benefit from the right amenities. Featured above, HÅG Conventio Wing & HÅG Capisco Puls.
When implementing modern collaboration spaces, it is important to clarify with employees how and when to use these group spaces, as there can be some confusion and ultimately disruption in productivity if these issues are not addressed.
Cafeterias have increasingly been seen as an area of work, with informal meetings and discussions taking place there. Featured above, RBM Noor.
Social spaces can often feel unfamiliar, not feeling like places where honest work can take place. Employee's may be wary of entering these areas for fear of looking like they are slacking. It is important to educate and create a workable system to counter these problems.
Getting it right though can yield great results, increasing cooperation, a sense of togetherness and ultimately an advantage over your competitors.

In a bid to provide one-day relief to the consumers of CNG on upcoming elections day (Saturday), the caretaker government has now given directions to the petroleum ministry to ensure uninterrupted supply of natural gas to the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) filling stations.
Sources in the ministry of petroleum & natural resources told this scribe that following the directions of caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khoso, the ministry of petroleum and natural resources has finally issued instructions to the state owned gas utilities-SNGPL & SSGCL to ensure continuous supply of natural gas to the filling stations located in various parts of the country on the day of general elections.
"Yes, the CNG filling stations will remain open to ensure continuous cheap fuel supply on the historic occasion (May 11) to the CNG consumers already bearing heavy brunt of 18 days a month gas loadshedding across the country for a long time, "said a senior official at petroleum ministry.
However, senior leader of All Pakistan CNG Association Ghiayas Abdullah Paracha, when contacted, deplored over the government decision to provide natural gas to the CNG filling stations on a single day of general elections in the country. He said the CNG outlets remained closed for 18 days a month, partially works for 12 days, but the government was not paying attention to the association's recommendations to resolve long pending woes of once-robust CNG industry. He also said the government has not informed them about the provision of CNG on elections day (May 11) as so far they have not received any official intimation or any schedule featuring plan for provision of gas besides the announcement made by Information Minister during a press conference held the other day.
It is worthwhile to mention that a cell established by the interim government would start its operation from today (May 7) and would remain open for 24 hours a day. This oil and gas cell would ensure co-ordination among Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, Finance, Water and Power, Sui Northern Gas PipeLines, Sui Southern Gas Company Limited, Oil and Gas Development Company Limited and Pakistan State Oil to provide continuous supply of oil and gas. Members of this cell include Additional Secretary Petroleum (Focal Point), Director General Oil, Director General Gas, General Manager PSO, General Manager SNGPL and Chief Manager SSGCL.
Meanwhile, caretaker federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, Sohail Wajahat H. Siddiqui Monday visited the 'Oil and Gas Control Cell' established in the premises of the ministry.
While visiting the Oil and Gas Control Cell, Sohail Wajahat H Siddiqui said that he had a detailed discussion with the Minister for Water & Power Dr. Musadik Malik and Minister for IT & Telecom Dr. Sania Nishtar regarding this control cell and both the above ministries will be providing full support for the continuous supply of electricity and gas and to keep the telecommunication and mobile network operational during the elections 2013.
He said that all the relevant Ministries and departments will coordinate to ensure the availability oil and gas for the power sector and to keep the petrol pumps, CNG stations and telephone and mobile phone networks operational during the election days.
so that smooth electoral process can be ensured. Oil and Gas Control Cell will be operational round-the-clock and all information regarding oil and gas stocks and supplies will be available in the control cell. The minister directed the officials concerned to ensure the co-ordination at all levels among various ministries and departments to make the Control Cell a success.

Thursday, Nov. 1 — November Intentions: I'm a big believer in living with intention. Kick off the month by listing your intentions for November. This list can focus on what you hope to get out of #bloglikecrazy or detail your personal and professional goals for the month.
November 1: Here is the blog on INTENTIONS I "intended" on posting
The one prior to this was the "off the cuff" one I wrote this morning……so as far as I can count~
I have just earned a "skip" 🙂
(already trying to figure out how to "beat the system")
Fall rode in on the tail of Halloween, bringing November in with a vengeance here in the South. A week ago we were in shorts with nearly eighty degree weather. Today I am coveting the stack of firewood (delivered yesterday by one legged Billy) that stands just outside my front door. It feels to me as if winter is here although it has still not dipped below freezing.
Every year I have the best of intentions as November rolls in. I vow to savor Thanksgiving, especially when we hosted our "borrowed daughters from Norway and Germany". I vowed to teach them everything I could about America, to share traditions. As the two years rolled past I found that just getting them to and from their activities, as well as the three we were raising here of our own was about all I could muster.
Each year in November I vow to be more diligent in my Christmas decor so that we can savor the holiday longer. I vow to have cookie smells radiating throughout the house every day as the kids get home from school. I vow to help them be organized in the morning so they can take their time to enjoy a warm cup of cocoa before they head out for the day. I vow to be creative, to sell my artwork in more places, to write in my journal every day, to capture memories on film and put them together in books from shutterfly or picasso to savor those fulfilled intentions.
As the sun shifts from the afternoon extension of our outdoor activities to warming our early starts it tends to bring out my hibernating bear attitude. We eat earlier so get snuggled in earlier, yet as a night owl, I still can't make the early adjustment to that clock setting phenomenon that steals my gusto. Just as my body is getting fully acclimated to life as it is, they have to go and change it on me.
So just like every other year, I review my intentions that often blend in with my ordinary day. Like this morning, as I got up and wrapped my daughter in her jacket and tried to wrap her in a scarf (she ditched the scarf) I thought of all of the kids this morning who had no warm stuff anywhere within reach. While mine is in the garage in buckets, they probably have none or a smaller version. I thought of their walk to school, thinking I would try to find a way to get all of these clothes that the teenagers don't wear to the appropriate cold little legs and fingers. My intentions are nothing without action.
And right now, I am intending to get a fire lit and turn on my Christmas music on the Sonos rotation and getting a start to my day, but I am actually perched in my bed next to a fluffy Pomeranian who is wondering why my hands are here typing on a volunteer assignment instead of cuddling her.
So many intentions, so little time.
By Allison Puccetti Adams www.allisonpuccettiadams.blogspot.com
Since I wandered off the subject of the LIST….here are a few of my
INTENTIONS for the remainder of 2012
Stay on track with my writing:
Novel writing course at Samford –
I intend to have my final outline and draft for my book complete by March
This weekend I am headed to Georgia for a workshop with the CRACKER QUEEN
on writing the family memoir. During Thanksgiving I intend to gather all of the garb and data on my family history as my mom and aunt remembered it. Some relatives in Eutaw are also compiling some good stuff for me on the Allison family. 2013 is the year of the novel.
