WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Peter Roskam (IL-06) released the following statement on the passage of H.R. 3811 The Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act:
"The Administration has refused to be forthcoming about Obamacare's rocky rollout. Today, the House passed The Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act, shining a light on the deeply rooted problems within the law's website, Healthcare.gov. The legislation requires health officials to notify people within two days when there is a security breach on the site. Individuals must submit their Social Security Number and date of birth on Healthcare.gov – an identify thief's dream – even though technology experts repeatedly warned of 'limitless' and 'high' security risks. Americans deserve to know the truth about Obamacare. And as ordinary people feel the full impact of the law this year, the House will not stop its deliberate and thoughtful approach to ease the burden of the health care law and make sure the Administration is honest about its effects on the American public."

Helloooo, I need some input here please!
So as I have mentioned in a previous post, I have just started at the University of East London. One of my modules requires myself and others to create a book, an exhibition, a public forum, a workshop or whatever else we could possibly think of.
My group has decided on creating a book, with a book launch in London, and possibly a mini exhibition to compliment the event. Our general idea revolves around travel photography, as a lot of us have pictures from all over the globe (Malta, Normandy, Thailand, Rome, Albania…)
As well as using our own personal work, we love the idea of asking for contributors who have photographs from various countries. This blog post is just to gather if anyone out there would be interested in helping out with our University project.
We'd ask that if anyone wants to contribute, we would need to have HIGH quality DSLR images, and if we use images, full credit of the owner will be given.

Things I'd never buy, but perhaps secretly try out.
Nothing says, "RELAX" like reading a good book, sitting on the couch, wearing my yard sale hat, with my dog arrow and I wearing Snuggies! "Ahhhhhhhhh."

I would try the snuggie...but only if they have it in XL.

Red is definately your color!! Jeremy... I think that walking blanket looks plenty big for you and possibly roomy enough for 2.
I don't think I could wear a yard sale hat... even in secret.

Noted anti-religion nut Bill Mayer and good Catholic boy Ben Affleck really went at it last night on Maher's as-yet-uncancelled HBO show "Steal Time."
I call it "Steal Time" because Maher is basically stealing money. Every week he does his tired schtick where he hates on everyone and they pay him for it. Hollywood, man.

human anatomy - my favorite subject
Ok so many of you who know me will know i'm sort of obsessed with the female form, with sketchbooks littered with observations. So after a short week's break from producing anything big in maya, I decided to see what stage I'm up to with my modeling uv layout and texturing skills by attempting another human figure, with the emphasis on photorealism.
I'm really happy with the results, and now after a year of learning Maya's possibilities and limitations, I am starting to understand a lot more about the pipeline processes used in creating computer animation from the ground up.
If there is one area in which i am still wildly ignorant, its rigging. I did make a joint skeleton and curve control rig for this model, and for the most part, it worked. However the elbows would not perform as planned for, and i had forgotten to inset clavical joints in my joint chain before binding so i just left it for the time being.
So the last thing i plan to research and study before I officially start uni again on the 25th is rigging and muscle systems. Until then, enjoy this demo of my female model!

Steps to schedule a post:
- Create a new post and write your copy (or you can write it in Word and paste it into the editing window).
- Add any images/graphics you would like.
- Add in the labels it should be categorized under.
- Click the Post Options link in the bottom left of the window (see figure).
- Click the Schedule at radio button in the bottom right.
- Write in the date and time you want the post to publish.
- Click the Publish Post button.
Now in your list of blog posts there will be a "scheduled" label next to the post's name. This tells you that the post has been input into your system, but it has not yet been published for public view. The system will then launch your post at the assigned time.
Using this scheduling method, you can pre-write all your blogs for the week, month or whatever time schedule you prefer. So you can set aside larger amounts to time to write your blog, rather than spending every morning making sure it gets launched on time.

Good God, Perry White and Watertown Daily Times you keep digging your hole deeper.
Perry White never showed up at any of the Cape Town meetings regarding wind, none of the coalition meetings in the three counties, etc, etc,. If he had, he would have been able to meet hundreds of people who do not live on the water who had concerns and were working to keep bp out of town. He would have met the business people along the lake and the river who objected. He would have met the families living in the country who would lose all their investments in their homes.
Blogger White and the paper he works for missed the guts of the Hammond, Lyme, and Cape story and would be wise NOT to pretend that they know the the heart of the matter.

What Would Our Carbon Intensities Be Without Nuclear Power?
Normalizing CO2 emissions to overall energy consumption is a reasonable indicator of a country's carbon intensity. Low values indicate a greater dependency on low- or zero-carbon resources whereas higher values indicate a greater dependency on fossil fuels. This figure is for the top 7 GDP producing countries in the world, constituting about 60% of total global GDP. The figure includes nuclear and combined solar/wind as percentages of the respective generation portfolios as well as each country's residential price per kWhr.
Some notable points:
- The country with the lowest intensity is France, where the electricity portfolio is 76.9% nuclear (no real surprise here);
- U.S. nuclear generation is equal to Germany's renewable generation—both about 19.5%. While Germany has quite a bit more solar/wind than the U.S. (14.1% vs. 5.4%), U.S. carbon intensity generally tracks Germany's as well as as the UK's, which is at about 14.2% renewables.
- The major difference between the U.S. and Germany is price, where the U.S. is at 11.9 cents/kWhr and Germany is at 38.8 cents/kWhr. In fact, for the five countries for which I could get reasonable price data, the U.S. is the lowest of all.
- While the respective intensities for each country are trending downward, Japan and India are exceptions. For Japan, the reason being that, post-Fukushima, its nuclear share decreased from 25.8% in 2010 to 0.4% in 2015. For India, it's a deeply complex matter of establishing and developing an industrialized economy while trying to meet the energy needs for hundreds of millions living in energy poverty.
This is one more indication that if carbon and climate are the issues, then it's reasonable to argue the benefits of nuclear power as well as the need to focus our attention on developing regions such as India. While EPA's Clean Power Plan may give us the impression we're contributing to the climate issue (which I contend it really doesn't) our resources are much better invested in areas where U.S. industry and innovation can be leveraged in the development and deployment of modern power generation systems, particularly nuclear power.

Before beginning that, we wanted to thank Maddy, Push Ups, and our buddies in Detriot's Protomartyr for playing with us and being generally awesome last Thursday in Philly. Due to a whinny neighbor, with the patience of a matchstick, the show that started late, now had to end real early. It was the most fun 3 song set I've played, and the best 3 song set I've seen (that would be thanks to Push Ups who are amazing!). Anyway, it was a ton of fun and the band played on....
Also, Sunday August 19th we'll be at The Bowery Electric in NYC. Show starts at 7:30. Come hang out.
Here goes, the end of the summer as we knew it.....
Day 21- Fort Worth, TX- In the morning, we all met up with our buds The Young Leaves (from MA) and got coffee and walked around Denton's rad junk shop and candy stores. This town has it all I tell you. We headed 40 minutes south (equivalent to 47 hours of Texas traffic), to hang out with Al and Lacey who fed us, and bathed us in food and bath. Well, to be fair they did not bathe us. That would be embarassing and unnecessary for everyone. They did help throw a rad show for us at 1919 Hemphill which was about 1000 degrees.
Day 22- Tulsa, OK- I was in Tulsa OK when I was 6 months old visiting my mom's childhood friend, so ineveteably my mother kept texting me mom texts. "Does it look the same?" "Do you remember where her house is? Lol". Oh mom. Played the Soundpony with our buds The Fabulous St. Knicholas Cage, who are not only the crazies named band (in a great way), but are a crazy good garage rock band, shellaced in reverb!
Day 23- St. Louis, MO- Showed up in St. Louis, a place we played on a very first tour to quit disterous results. Upon arriving, pure confusion broke out as everyone involved at Lemmons had no clue what "show" we were talking about. Thankfully, the bartender and his friend got their drummer on the phone to make a show happen. In the meantime, the dudes from Trauma Harness, who booked it, arrived and all confusion was over. A near canceled show, turned into one of the best nights on tour all around. Take that Sunday night. Thanks to Johnny andTrauma Harness, along with Shut In for making the night work.
Day 24- Carbondale, IL- Headed out to Carbondale to the infamous Lost Cross house which just celebrated their 25 anniversary as a house! That's a long time for a house to have shows and not fall to a pile rubble. Got to play with Autonomy who were one of the best bands we played with on tour. This band is great! Holy shit! Put me to bed.
Day 25- Cleveland, TN- Off to Cleveland we went. Not the Cleveland we've been to multiple times in the land of OH-yeah, but 10 miles outside of Chattanooga. Played an early evening show at Inherent Records. The most relaxed show of tour, was a much needed sigh of fucking relief. Ending while the sun was still out was satisfying after 25 days of watching the damn sun rise for no good reason. Thanks to Chad and his girlfriend Kayla for housing us and making that night of tour feel like elementary school summer vacation.
Day 26- Lexington, KY- We've driven through KY so many times in the past 2 + years of touring but have never been able to play. We luckily made it to Kentucky thanks to Joe from The Elsinores. When we showed up at the Green Lantern, they also had no clue what was going on as a christian acoustic act got up on stage for a while? I don't know. Show turned out great, and no one died.
Day 27- Dayton, OH- The next day in Kentucky, we all went to check out some bourbon distilleries. Straight edge tears have just fallen on someones keyboard, I'm sure. Got to return to Blind Bob's, thanks to our bud Josh Goldman. Excellent show! I love this place. During our set, a fucking wedding party came into the bar post ceremony, and watched the show, hung out, and bought merch! Best of luck guys
Day 28- Westminster, MD- Last show. Bitter sweet sorrow for us all. Long drive that went rather quickly to get to MD. When we pulled up at Wallride Manor, it was great seeing so many familiar faces. The whole night was a goddamn blur. But what a great blur it was. Thank you Mike Stearns, everyone in Crimes, Whiff, and Steve and Dinger from Barecat for making it out. Also, for the show, Black Wine's Miranda played drums with us on "Slow too Fast" while our very own Steve played drums for Black Wine's "Chateau of Ghosts." Video coming soon ... maybe? (awaiting approval from the governor).

Hi all
I am about to have to change my profile and ensure I start using CLL/SLL. Today I visited my consultant and we were able to confirm that for six - months there is no longer any evidence of CLL cells in my peripheral blood. My counts are pre MBL and have been for six-nine months!!
My greatest concern these days has been my ticker this caused a recent unscheduled admission for observation the other day and blood draws (fortunately MI's were ruled out this time). So my CLL consult today was very swift (I had my results in hand), AND UNUSUAL. A year ago in March I was suffering with what I thought were severe CLL symptoms and lymphocyte counts had been climbing steadily for two years following CLL diagnosis and appeared to be doubling every twelve months and had reached 19 well above the minimum of 5 for a CLL diagnosis. At diagnosis I was diagnosed as stage A CLL with B symptoms. In March last year I received a primary heart intervention and was stented following heart attacks. After which over six months the CLL left the blood.
I surmise that the inflammatory situation caused by narrowing coronary arteries and heart disease were causing a feed forward loop that was keeping CLL cells in my blood and fueling development of more in my proliferation centers? For following removal of the inflammatory condition, a better diet and lifestyle change and exercise Elvis appears to have left the building, Could the massive fatigue I used to experience and difficulty getting about have been heart disease or the result of a cytokine storm that it continued to fuel?
He's gone somewhere and not left the block, CT scans confirm that nodal involvement is more widespread and in all regions although not bulky and my marrow was 45% infiltrated three years ago and FISH confirms I am trisomy 12.. So today I was met by my consultant agreeing with my thoughts of three months ago. I have SLL.?
My immunity is now more impaired and I have a weakness at fighting off subcutaneous bacterial infection and react badly to any insect bites too all other counts are good only platelets have drifted downwards from the high 200s to 160. trisomy 12 is more common in SLL too I believe.
So how do we now stage my disease and diagnosis and should I start thinking in Ann Arbour staging too. Or just consider myself CLL on watch and wait (-: What tests should I request? Is morphology sufficient?
How many patients have had what was behaving like CLL become the SLL presentation of the disorder after years of leukaemia presentation.
CLL/SLL is truly a heterogeneous disorder. it's like the twilight zone..
Any thoughts welcomed

Those Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gamepads you've got attending a little underdressed, and not about abundant like Batman. Thankfully, the Avenger Reflex is actuality to fix both issues in one fell swoop, appending a carapace to either the XB1 or PS4 gamepad that promises "faster acknowledgment time" and levers to hit the four capital face buttons after accepting to lift your thumbs from either thumbstick.
As you might've already guessed, the Reflex is artlessly the latest abundance in the Avenger series. It adds one new trick: dubbed the "bionic edge," a batten beneath your larboard deride "removes all charge to move your deride from your analog stick." We'll accept to accord it a attempt afore dupe that claim; we've got until "late March," if the Avenger Reflex goes on auction for $70 (pre-orders are accessible now for 20 percent off if you use abatement cipher "REFLEX").
The aggregation started aback in 2011 with an Xbox 360 gamepad shell, eventually evolving several acknowledged iterations. Beyond the Avenger ambassador series, the aggregation aswell makes the occasionally controversial, consistently camp Delta Six gaming peripheral.

When a call is in place on a object, it _is_ in use, and finalizing it is just wrong. Just imagine: Client A Client B -------- --------- b->foo() b_servant->callback->invoke() b->unref() [ Refcount of b drops to zero, b is finalized ] b_servant->count++; [ segfault ] If you want to live and die by refcounting, you can't just ignore this refcount from a currently active call. Unfortunately, in simple uses of the POA, there is no real distinction between the reference for currently active calls -- which is a strong reference, and entry in the active object map, which is a weak reference. One straightforward way around this is to use the ServantLocator framework, maintain your own active object map, and call bonobo_object_ref/unref() as calls come in an finish. The main alternative I see to that is to play tricks on bonobo_object_ref/unref() ... when your refcount goes to 1, you know that the last remaining refcount to your object is the reference count in the active object map. You then call ->deactivate on the CORBA object. Subsequently: If bonobo_object_ref() is called, you reactivate the object. [ It's a little fuzzy to me whether this is allowed by the POA spec, but I believe it is ] If servant->finalize happens, the you can actually finalize the GObjects. This is certainly messier, but something like this might be needed for performance reasons. But in any case, if finalization happens while a method invocation on an object is under way, then the object was finalized to early. Regards, Owen [ How do the proposals above relate to local short-ciruiting and the fabled hope to make local calls #defines for vtable accesses? Not very well, but if one wants to handle complicated reentrancy the price is either real garbage collection or a lot of refs/unref book-keeping. I don't think distributed instability is an option. ]

Adil on Life
Trips, books, quotes and general musings.
Saturday, 17 September 2011
On my way home from Cambridge last night I came across this quote in 'emel' magazine:
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
(Attributed to Aristotle) And it was with that that I put on Persepolis which aired on Channel 4 a couple weeks back and which I had saved on my digital box. Whilst very bluntly it portrays the Islamic leadership of Iran, its followers and religionists in general as backward, culture-less beings, and sitting there remembering the unquestionable negative Western coverage of the Iranian elections a year or so back, I couldn't help think a trip to Iran in the near future should be scheduled! Not sure how welcome I would be but the only way to verify the state of a country is to visit it :)> Anyway, putting those negatives aside if you can, it was a good movie from an artistic perspective and a nice coming-of-age story following a girl growing from childhood, innonence & ambition, to adolescence, mistakes & despair, to adulthood & maturity.

The Merriam School operates on a set of educational principles that have been developed over years of discussion and practice. Learn about these foundational principles in the Merriam School Handbook. What we teach in the classroom derives directly from these foundations in conjunction with the curriculum requirements of the Acton Public School System.
Organizational Structures for Students
Class Looping: At Merriam, we loop classes together for a two-year period with the same teacher (first graders stay together with the same teacher for second grade; third graders stay together with the same teacher for fourth grade; fifth graders stay with the same teacher for sixth grade.)
Class Groupings: The Merriam School believes that the development of a safe and supportive classroom community provides the anchor for children's academic and social emotional success in school.
The staff works closely and thoughtfully together at the end of each school year to structure classes for the following fall. Serious consideration is given to the following:
Grouping children with a comfortable peer (a peer with whom they work well!)
Balancing classes with respect to numbers of students, gender, special education neeeds, and academic, social, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.
Family Groupings: At Merriam School we value community. Supported by parents and teachers, all students are organized into mixed-age groupings. Students participate in the same family group (whenever possible) throughout their Merriam career. Embarking on all-school field trips, participating in core value work and experiencing school theme day celebrations, the children develop and deepen ongoing relationships which foster a strong sense of community. As students advance through the grades, they take on more responsibility.
Organizational Structures For Teachers
Classroom Assistants: Assistants are key supports in every classroom. The prime function of all fund-raising activities and efforts at Merriam School is to provide teachers with classroom assistants. Assistants work an average of 18 hours a week in a variety of ways, including: supporting project-based curriculum, working with small groups and individuals, supervising daily lunch and recess, and organizing materials.
Grade Level Meetings: Teachers on the same grade level meet weekly for an hour and a half on Friday (during the school day) to collaboratively develop meaningful curriculum, including projects.
Faculty Meetings: Merriam faculty meet regularly according to contract guidelines. Meetings are opportunities to discuss current teaching and learning topics of interest.
Triads: Triads is a peer mentoring model that consists of groups of three teachers (from across grades and disciplines) who support and observe one other during the teaching day on a monthly basis.
Organizational Structures For Parents, Teachers and Students
All School Meetings: Monday mornings and on some Friday afternoons, the whole school gathers together to start and end the week as a community. Students and teachers showcase curriculum via poems, plays, performances and other presentations.
Project-based Learning
Project-based learning is a teacher-generated approach to curriculum that is organized, planned, integrated, hands-on and authentic. A project may be short term or long term. The Merriam School staff believes that experiential, hands-on studies provide the richest opportunities for the development of students' skills, self confidence, sense of responsibility, and enthusiasm for learning while supporting various learning styles. For this reason, whenever appropriate, the Merriam School offers a project based curriculum. All students participate in a variety of projects over the course of a year. Math, science language arts, social studies, and the arts are integrated into interesting, challenging projects.
Much instruction is done within the contexts of these projects. Other explicit instruction and experiences are provided as well, to introduce, reinforce, complement, and enhance student learning. Examples of Projects around Merriam School are provided on this site.
What is a project?
"A project is a interdisciplinary study of a particular topic that one or more children undertake... Work on a project might extend over a period of days or weeks, depending on the children's ages and the nature of the topic... Projects usually involve children in advanced planning and in various activities that might require several days or weeks of sustained effort. This approach emphasizes the teacher's role in encouraging children to interact with people, objects, and the environment in ways that have personal meaning to them. As a way of learning, it emphasizes children's active participation in their own studies... An overall aim of this approach is to cultivate the life of the young child's mind. In its fullest sense, the term mind includes not only knowledge and skills, but also emotional, moral, and aesthetic sensibilities." (Engaging Children's Minds: The Project Approach) by Lilian Katz and Sylvia Chard.
Examples of Projects
- Knights, castles and medieval studies in kindergarten
- Study of Japan in first grade
- Life Cycles in second grade
- Farm to factory in third grade
- Native Americans in fourth grade

A few examples of Service Learning through school jobs include: running the school store, recycling in the school, leading the pledge of allegiance, delivering mail from the office to the classrooms, and publishing the student community newsletter, The Merriam Monthly.
Service Learning outside of the school might include: painting flower pots for Senior Citizens, collecting pennies for "Penniesfor Peace" program, and collecting unwanted Halloween candy for the U.S. soldiers and people in homeless shelters.

Read these 4 Your Baby After A Caesarean Tips tips to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. Each tip is approved by our Editors and created by expert writers so great we call them Gurus. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Caesarian tips and hundreds of other topics.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your Caesarean, your baby might need special care such as feeding tubes or oxygen. You can ask to be wheeled (after you leave recovery) to the nursery to see your little one.
It is common for babies born via Caesarean Section to have lower first minute Apgar Scores than those born by vaginal birth. Usually, the scores rise when the next Apgar test is given.
Your baby will most likely have quite a bit of mucus in his lungs after delivery. Because he was not squeezed through the birth canal, he has not had the chance to expel the mucus.
It is common for caesarean section babies to develop jaundice shortly after delivery. The skin and whites of the eyes will turn a pale yellow. If you notice these changes, report them to your pediatrician. Most likely, your pediatrician will catch this first and do a blood test. In most cases it is usually nothing to worry about, and will clear up before you leave the hospital.

Importance Of Contractors General Liability Insurance California
by Olivia Cross
Construction and contracting are capital intensive investments. Risks may arise resulting to legal actions that may lead to big losses. You are liable to a law suit whether the accident occurs on your premise to a third party or on a contract you did for a client . With contractors general liability insurance California citizens can shields themselves against losses that may arise in case of liability claim suit.
The Californian general liability insurance cover is vital in preventing the court from seizing your assets. It covers claim made by a third party person that they got injured or in harmed or lost property as a result of an accident at your company or from your previous works. To protect your business assets it is important that you take this cover.
Your work force is responsible for undertaking most of the actual construction and contracting putting them at direct risks. This therefore means that a third party may take them to court for claims of injury. However, with the this cover they have not worry. As an employer you should also have a workman compensation cover for your employees. This covers their medical cover which is not covered by the general liability policy.
The purpose of this cover is to safeguard you against losses that may arise due to a lawsuit. It ensures that you do not lose any business by taking care of the court fees and even covers for business that may have been lost during the trial. It importantly takes care of the settlement bill that the court may arrive at. You do not have to worry about your business shutting down because of a third party claims.
Insurance is an important but a complex business requirement. You thus need to seek professional advice from your insurer on what policies best fulfills your needs. You need to get all the details about the claims that can be covered by your policy. As a contractor you may be very careful so that you do not buy policies that you do not require.
One of the important cover you should take is the damage property claim. This is important in cases whereby your clients files a suit claiming that your work destroyed their business. They may also claim that as a result of your work they are unable to use that property. It's important to note that if you are a remodeling contractor this does not cover the property that you are working on.
Another important policy is the medical expense claims. It covers medical expenses for a third party who may be injured at your property. Immediate medical attention is advisable in such cases as they save on the trauma and extra costs that may arise from other claims. Your insurance company would rather cover the medical expense than be involved in court battles.
After completion of your work accidents may still occur and that is why you should also have the completed products claims cover. Other claims that can be covered involve copyright and branding claims covered by the personal and advertising injury policy. This covers claims that arise against your company on use of copyright information, materials or brands without permission. The liability insurance cover protects your assets, settles your claims and shields company from losses.

Sounds awfully close to put a price on their heads, doesn't it?
Gore lost the public so now he's get'n grizzly. 'We have this denial industry cranked up constantly...' That's right. If you don't buy Al's malodorous meringue you're a 'denier' not just an objective skeptic.
Since Pope Francis agreed with Al recently he says, 'I'm not a Catholic, but I could be persuaded to become one.' Wonder if Al heard about mass-killer Charlie Manson agreeing with him too?

As Filipinos, we have an important role to play in deciding the future of our country. With the 2016 national elections just months away, we are faced with the task of selecting leaders who will help pave the way for a better Philippines.
However, we can only make a truly informed choice when we are fully aware of all the issues that plague us as a nation, because these are the same problems that our elected leaders will seek to solve.
This year, we challenged our iACADEMY students to serve as catalysts for change by creating artwork that would raise awareness regarding issues involving poverty, tax reform, healthcare, environment, transportation, and infrastructure.
Their art pieces will be displayed during the 2016 iACADEMY Exhibit entitled START (Social Transformation through ART), which will be held at the Powerplant Mall on March 5 to 6, 2016. The installation will feature artwork composed of digital paintings, vector illustrations, 3D renderings, and photo manipulations with social relevance.
Read on to learn more about the artists behind the 2016 iACADEMY Exhibit:
Apple Aquino
"I want people to see the importance of standing up for yourself and fighting for your beliefs and goals in life."
Apple is a fourth year student of Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and Technology. Illustrating female forms and clothes has been her passion since she started college. She loves to draw things in pencil. Yet after four years of stay in iACADEMY, she found different forms of art that she could also be good at ---- both traditional and digital, and one of them is shooting fashion editorials. A lot of the concepts in her mind have come to life through these visuals, and one of them is this piece for START exhibit entitled "Bars". Her goal after college is to become a Creative Director either for Magazine or a clothing company,

Ar-em Bañas
"I feel like we are lagging behind other countries. We are too traditional and that's something we have to work on. That's why I used a paper-cut style for my work. It looks traditional but it was done digitally. It's a reminder that we have to learn how to step up our game and improve as a nation."
Ar-em is currently on her second year in iACADEMY. She took up BS Animation after realizing her passion for story-telling and drawing from her high school days. She takes inspiration from various directors and artists— Sylvain Chomet, Tim Burton, Satoshi Kon, Gabriel Picolo, Mike Inel, Kerby Rosanes, among many others— and hopes to reach their skill level and to diversify her art style in the process.
Even though most of her previous works were made with inks, colored pencils and paper, her pieces for START, entitled "Train" and "New & Improved," are digital paper-cut concepts that present the issues in public transportation.

Elvin Marlo Obien
"Pagtingin ko sa labas ng bintana, dun ko nakita yung problema ng Pilipinas. Naisip ko, what if pagsamahin ko sa isang artwork lahat ng issues na 'to? Tulad ng poverty at pollution. Dun nanggaling yung concept ko."
Mao is a first year student from iACADEMY, taking BS Animation. He is also a freelance digital artist that is inspired by Japanese Anime style. His piece for START entitled "The Choice is Ours" is a digital painting that tackles the issues of poverty and environment. You can see his artworks online at www.facebook.com/xscaverle
Hazel Key de Dios
"I chose poverty and food security for young children as the concept for my piece dahil ito yung issue na gusto kong ma-take into account ng future leaders natin, pati na rin ng voters for this coming election."
Hazel is a first year student from iACADEMY, taking up BS Animation. She knew she loved art from childhood but only had the opportunity to pursue it now. Her digital painting piece for START is entitled "The Empty Bowl" that tackles the issues of poverty and food shortage especially amongst children. Follow her artwork online at www.facebook.com/kisama19
John Paul Castillo
"My topic is poverty and kung paano ito nagiging hindrance sa pagkamit ng dreams ng isang tao."
JP is a fourth year student from iACADEMY, taking up BA Multimedia Arts and Design. Ever since high school, he had taken interest in the world of art. He did it in a traditional way, drawing on papers, doodling on notebooks and using oil pastels. He wasn't used to digital drawing or the digital way of making art, that's why he never thought that he would be enrolling in Multimedia Arts at iACADEMY. Now, after 3 years of taking up MMA, he's enjoying and still aiming to be the very best. His piece for START, entitled "The Tears of Flying Dream" is a combination of digital painting and vector art that tackles the issues of poverty and human violation. See his artwork online at behance.net/JPCastillo0 and instagram.com/jptcastillo
Juilian Bautista
"I made these artworks in the hopes that people will realize and see what it's like for Filipinos who are experiencing the bad side of things. I want them to feel the need to act for these people and act against all the abuse."
Juilian is in his third year of studying BS Animation. He enjoys painting with various mediums of art, but now focuses on specializing in digital painting, mostly making his works in a realistic style with dark color palettes. He never thought he'd ever develop from a young boy who couldn't even draw stick figures that well to a slightly older boy with remarkable skill and experience with art. His START artwork is pretty much self explanatory - a first-person point-of-view of Filipinos who are on the unfortunate side of things. See more of his works at www.facebook.com/juilianredb or at juilianbautista.tumblr.com
Julia Raine Maglalang
"Why can't we live in a country where healthcare is not an issue for everyone and where we can all access proper and affordable treatment?"
Julia Raine P. Maglalang, or simply called "Juju Bear" by most, is a 3rd year student studying BA Multimedia Arts & Design at iACADEMY. Born to a family of creatives, it was no surprise that she showed interest in the arts at a very young age. Juju Bear is fascinated and often draws her inspiration from oriental culture, turning it into art of her own playful style. For START, her piece "Palaisipan Ng Kalusugan" is a piece that speaks about the state of the nation's healthcare system.
More of her work can be seen on Instagram at @jujubearillustrations
Ken Presbitero
"A professor of mine mentioned once that the smog is really visible in Makati in the morning. That's what inspired me to choose it as an issue for my artwork."
Ken is second year student at iACADEMY, taking up Multimedia arts. He's been drawing ever since he was a little kid and he initially saw it as just a hobby. He takes a lot inspiration from another artist, Yuumei. The piece that he did for START, entitled "The Smog in Our Skies" is about the smog hovering over the city. You can see more of his works online at http://vxvxvvxvxv.deviantart.com/
Maxine San Agustin

Darwynn Soriano is a fourth year student from iACADEMY taking up BA Multimedia and Design. Her passion is drawing, digital painting and reading fictional books.

Dianne Bencito
"I decided to go with Gender Equality because I wanted to emphasize that in our lives we can be equal and we should believe more in equality."
Vibrant colors and wistful figures have always been the trademark for the 4th year Multimedia Arts and Design student, Dianne Bencito. Since she was little she had shown talent in drawing and had a good eye for color - copying the cartoons she watched and never coloring within the lines of her coloring books. Her dream is to write and illustrate her own fairytales and to travel the world.
The piece "Tabla" is her response to the distorted perception on Gender Equality in association to religions and beliefs. "All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return." It serves as a reminder that in birth, life and death we are all equal and we should not let the norms of gender hinder us.
Betina Mascenon
"Pollution is something that should be addressed because it doesn't just affect the Philippines; it affects the world."
Back when the 15-year-old Betina was set on pursuing a music career, her heart wandered to the art in video games. She said, "I want to make something as beautiful as that. From game design to 3D animation to traditional art, she finally settled with a love for digital painting. Now she is a freshman in iACADEMY taking up BA Multimedia Arts and Design and also illustrates for Candy Magazine from time to time. Her work for START is called 'Change The Fallen Future' which tackles the future that not only the Philippines faces, but also the world, if air pollution is not addressed.
Lanz Manalo
"I chose poverty because it's a serious issue and there's not much being done about it. Not enough people are going out there and doing something concrete. They're posting photos and getting likes and shares but they're not really helping."
Lanz is a third year student from iACADEMY, taking up BS Animation. He started drawing as a hobby when he was in elementary. Soon, he developed an interest for digital painting and animation and has been seeking to improve himself ever since. His piece for START, entitled "Start with a Snap", is a digital painting that tackles the issues of poverty and social media.
We encourage everyone to be pioneers of lasting positive change by visiting the START exhibit on March 5 to 6, 2016 at the Rockwell Powerplant Mall.
Change starts with being informed. We dare you to START today.

VEDA JAKOVLJEVICH AND STANLEY JAKOVLJEVICH, A/K/A STANIMIR JAKOVLJEVICH, INDIVIDUALLY, AND AS BENEFICIARIES UNDER COSMOPOLITAN NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO, TRUST NO. 4450, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.RICCARDO ALVAREZ, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. DANIEL
J. WHITE, Judge, presiding. Affirmed.
This is an appeal from a judgment that dismissed the cause of action after finding the fourth amended complaint insufficient for the reason that plaintiffs, as beneficiaries of a land trust, had no right to maintain an action for unpaid rent. The undisputed facts are set out below, along with specific references to provisions contained in relevant written instruments.
By trust agreement in 1955, a land trust was created with Cosmopolitan National Bank of Chicago as trustee and Stanley and Veda Jakovljevich as beneficiaries. The real estate concerned in this appeal was conveyed to Cosmopolitan by the same instrument.
On August 23, 1963, plaintiff Veda Jakovljevich executed with defendant a lease of the property which contained the following clause describing the parties thereto:
THIS INDENTURE, made this 23rd day of August, A.D. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Three between Cosmopolitan National Bank as Trustee U/T No. 4450 hereinafter called Lessor, and Riccardo Alvarez, hereinafter called Lessee.
It was signed for the lessor by "Veda Jakovljevich, Agent and Beneficiary of Trust No. 4450." This original lease commenced on September 1, 1963, and was to expire August 31, 1964, with a yearly rental of $2,400, payable in advance in equal monthly installments of $200. It was also stated in the lease that "Lessee shall pay to Lessor, at the office of Stanley Jakovljevich" the monthly rent, and, in practice, it resulted that defendant did pay rent directly to the plaintiffs.
Executed simultaneously with the lease was a rider granting defendant an option to renew the lease for an additional three years commencing September 1, 1964, at the same rental provided defendant made certain repairs, and, if defendant was unable to make the repairs, then at a monthly rental of $325. Defendant, who conducted a retail shoe business on the premises, on May 26, 1964, exercised his option under the rider by directing a letter to Stanley Jakovljevich notifying him that he would extend the lease and make the necessary repairs.
On April 16, 1965, Veda and Stanley Jakovljevich, by their attorney, directed a letter to defendant proposing a modification of the lease and rider "between yourself and the Cosmopolitan National Bank, as Trustee under Trust No. 4450, the beneficiaries of which are Stanley and Veda Jakovljevich," to the extent that defendant would be relieved of his obligation to make repairs but would pay, instead, a monthly sum of $300 commencing January 1, 1965, for the remainder of the term. This lease modification letter (which was agreed to by defendant) was signed by the Jakovljeviches without description of their capacity in signing, other than the language in the letter itself (quoted above in this paragraph), referring to the trustee bank as the lessor.
Defendant paid the $300 monthly sum directly to the Jakovljeviches from January to December, 1965. During the latter month, defendant abandoned the premises and moved his business to a new location. Since that time, no rent has been paid by defendant.
Plaintiffs, as beneficiaries of the trust, *fn1 have attempted to sue defendant, as tenant, for the unpaid rent, and defendant questions their authority to bring the action in that capacity since the trustee was designated as lessor in the lease. So far as we know, this specific issue has not previously been presented for review in this state, although Illinois courts have decided many cases relating to the rights of beneficiaries under a land trust. Thus, it was held in Chicago Title & Trust Co. v. Mercantile Trust & Savings Bank, 300 Ill. App. 329, 20 N.E.2d 992, that a judgment against a land trust beneficiary did not constitute a lien against the real estate, since the interest of such a beneficiary is a personal property interest. In Schneider v. Pioneer Trust & Savings Bank, 26 Ill. App.2d 463, 168 N.E.2d 808, the court held that a beneficiary did not have the authority to accept an offer to purchase the real estate, since only the trustee had power to deal with the title. It has been stated that the trustee under a land trust, and not the beneficiary, is the proper party to bring a forcible detainer action. Liberty Nat. Bank of Chicago v. Kosterlitz, 329 Ill. App. 244, 67 N.E.2d 876. It has been recognized that the trustee has full title to the real estate, both legal and equitable, and that a federal tax lien against a beneficiary did not attach to the real estate of a land trust. Chicago Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Cacciatore, 33 Ill. App.2d 131, 178 N.E.2d 888, affirmed 25 Ill.2d 535, 185 N.E.2d 670. See, also, Seno v. Franke, 20 Ill.2d 70, 169 N.E.2d 335; Chicago Title & Trust Co. v. Mercantile Trust & Savings Bank, 300 Ill. App. 329, 20 N.E.2d 992; and Robinson v. Chicago Nat. Bank, 32 Ill. App.2d 55, 176 N.E.2d 659.
Plaintiffs, as beneficiaries, ask this court to allow them to sue defendant for rents due under a lease agreement signed by one of them as "Agent and Beneficiary of Trust No. 4450." They advance the arguments that they had leased the property to defendant in their own behalf; and, further, that the specific designation (in the lease agreement) of the trustee bank as lessor, and the execution by one of the plaintiffs as agent, should not be controlling. Both contentions must be rejected.
There is nothing of substance to support plaintiffs' theory that Veda Jakovljevich executed the lease agreement on behalf of the beneficiaries. Plaintiffs contend that when she signed the lease, "Agent and Beneficiary of Trust No. 4450," she was acting as agent of the other beneficiary, Stanley Jakovljevich, and in her own behalf as beneficiary, and not as agent of the trustee, Cosmopolitan. Such a construction becomes unacceptable when the lease agreement is read in its entirety, as it must be. The introductory clause of the indenture states that the parties to the lease are Cosmopolitan, as lessor, and defendant, as lessee. Therefore, we are persuaded that the agency recited in Veda Jakovljevich's execution of the lease must be considered as that relationship which she thereby claimed existed between her as beneficiary and the lessor under the lease, the latter being very carefully described as the bank "as Trustee U/T No. 4450." Furthermore, the lease agreement does not mention the beneficiaries by name nor refer to them as beneficiaries of the trust, except in two instances. One such instance is in the execution clause to which we have just made reference. The other is in regard to the payment of rent, providing that it should be paid "to Lessor at the office of Stanley Jakovljevich." (Emphasis supplied.) Thus, plaintiffs' contention that their capacity as lessors was evidenced by the fact that defendant attorned to them through his payment of rent, is without merit since they were expressly designated in the lease as agents for the collection of rent on behalf of the lessor. We conclude that this lease agreement is a contract between two parties, the lessor, Cosmopolitan, and the lessee, defendant.
The basic issue whether a beneficiary can maintain an action for rent is therefore limited in the instant case to the situation where the beneficiary is not a party to the lease. It may well be that when a landlord-tenant relationship is established between a beneficiary as landlord and a tenant, the beneficiary may then sue for unpaid rent, since this result would be "more in line with the principles of land trusts as established by the decisions of the Illinois Courts and, by implication, contrary to the OPA cases (Liberty Nat. Bank, supra). . . ." Land Trusts, ed Henry W. Kenoe, Chicago Bar Association, 1967. *fn2 Since, however, we have found that that situation does not exist in the case before us, we do not consider ourselves bound by the Illinois cases which have upheld the right of a beneficiary-lessor to maintain an action for rent. E.G., Bellows v. Ziv, 38 Ill. App.2d 342, 187 N.E.2d 265.
We conclude that the trustee bank, as lessor, is the only party entitled to bring an action for unpaid rent in this case.
Plaintiffs maintain that the letter dated April 16, 1965, written by plaintiffs' attorney and accepted by plaintiffs in their own behalf and also by defendant, constituted a valid contract establishing the plaintiffs' right to sue defendant for rent. This document, however, was not intended to supplant the lease agreement, but merely to modify one of its terms. *fn3 In so doing, it specifically referred to the trustee bank as a party to the lease, and said nothing from which it could reasonably be understood that the letter constituted a novation, which, in any event, would have required the consent of the original lessor. Becker v. Dvorson, 28 Ill. App.2d 174, 171 N.E.2d 86; Karraker v. Eddleman, 101 Ill. App. 23. Nor has it been established that defendant, in accepting the modification, ...

2012Gardening in Middle Tennessee.
Thursday. Most of the trees have dropped their leaves. The nights are down in the low 30's & high 20's. The days are lovely, crisp, and while the mornings have been drizzly, the afternoons have been clear. Sounding like perfect weather for spinach under row covers. Missing my garden, but enjoying being a corporate girl. Still, this time of year begs me to buy seeds! What if I buy them and don't have a spring or summer garden, either? Lots of bunnies & skunks here. Pretty much have to cage in everything...Oddly, no snails. Probably due to the late afternoon robin invasion. "That's where I come from, I'm an old Tennessean..."

The Morning Call
The Market
The indices (DJIA 21532, S&P 2443) popped yesterday with the Dow (but not the S&P) near the upper end of its recent one month trading range. The question is, this is a one day phenomena or a precursor to the resumption of their upward momentum. Either way, they remain above their 100 and 200 day moving averages and in uptrends across all timeframes. So, at the moment, I see nothing, technically speaking, to inhibit the Averages' challenge of the upper boundaries of their long term uptrends---now circa 24198/2763. Volume was up slightly off of a low level and breadth improved but remains weak.
The VIX (10.3) fell 5 ½ %, closing very near to the lower boundaries of its intermediate and long term trading ranges (10.2/9.9) which it has unsuccessfully challenged seven prior times.
The long Treasury was up, finishing above its 200 day moving average. Like its very short term uptrend's pin actin on Tuesday, it regained this level the day after it reverted in trend. So like the very short term uptrend, I am putting the reversion call in abeyance subject to follow through in either direction. While I am not ready to reestablish the positive calls in both trends, the last two days' performance certainly suggests that TLT hit a bottom last Friday.
The dollar was unchanged, ending in a very short term downtrend and below its 100 and 200 day moving averages, supporting the notion that bonds could have found a bottom.
GLD was up, responding to lower rates but still has a sickly chart.
Bottom line: the Averages remain within a very tight one month trading range, though they appear to have been helped by a renewed dovish narrative from Yellen in her congressional testimony. So the 'everything is awesome' trade is alive and well. As I said yesterday, I could quote any number of headlines that would normally cause investor heartburn; but today all news is still good news. I have no insight into how long this psychology will last; but it seems reasonable to assume that, technically speaking, the indices next big move will be to challenge the upper boundaries of their long term uptrends.
Only one minor datapoint was released yesterday: weekly mortgage and purchase applications were down. I am sure that you know that the news was elsewhere:
Yellen did it again. After convincing almost everyone that the Fed was on a more hawkish policy path, she did a dipsy doodle that would make a scat back proud and turned dovish again. Specifically questioning the need for aggressive rate hikes which suggests that we may get only one further rate hike this year and possibly none.
Without getting too deep in the weeds, she theorized that 'normal' interest rates are lower today than they have been in the past, so the distance between current rates and the 'normal' rate is much narrower than many assumed and, hence, there is less reason to rush to higher rates. Sound like more academic bullsh*t? I think so. More likely, the Fed has at last realized that it can no longer pretend that all is well with the economy and that its credibility is at stake if it doesn't own up that fact. So its preferred response is to slow the rise in interest rates.
The catch is that the economy is not the 800 pound gorilla in the room. The massive mispricing and misallocation of assets (the Market) is. And that mispricing/misallocation was much more a function of QE than lower interest rates.
Remember, the Fed lowered interest rates to keep the banks (which had very shaky balance sheets in 2009) solvent by allowing them to build back their profitability by earning the spread between the (essentially risk free) Fed Funds rate and (essentially risk free) Treasury yields. True, the Fed hoped the banks would lend the money and believed that QE would increase the volume of that lending. And that all was supposed to stimulate the economy and promote the wealth effect (drive up asset prices) in the hope that this would trickle down to the masses, stimulating growth. However, the end result was the money didn't go to industry and did little to improve the economy. Rather, it went to speculators who ended up severely distorting asset prices and allocation.
But in her testimony, Yellen said that the program for winding down the Fed's balance sheet would proceed as originally proposed. (Not that its plan involves significant tightening. But it is a start.)
What I am essentially repeating here is my thesis that neither lower interest rates nor QE had much effect on the economy. But QE had a huge impact on asset prices. So keeping interest rates low is unlikely to help the economy but unwinding QE is apt to hurt the Markets. In short, Yellen/the Fed seems to have once again zigged when it should be zagging.

More on current debt levels (medium):
In addition, the latest Fed Beige Book was released. While it still had lots of 'on the one hand/on the other hand' commentary, its description of overall economic activity went from 'modest to moderate' to 'slight to moderate'. I dislike parsing the Fed's words (but I will since that is what you have to do when reading/listening to its infinite stream of qualifiers to any statement it makes), but that sounds like even it recognizes that it can't continue to ignore the constant barrage of disappointing numbers---and, at the risk of stating the obvious, probably contributed to the more dovish tone to Yellen's congressional commentary.
Bottom line: yesterday I said that 'the economy continues to struggle (which it is) and the Fed seems to be ignoring it'. It seems that changed with Yellen's testimony. I also said 'it won't change the fact that the Fed has mismanaged the transition from easy to normal monetary policy---again.' That hasn't changed. Holding interest rates low won't help the economy, in my opinion, since low rates have done little to stimulate growth. Unwinding QE won't hurt the economy because like low rates, it did little to help. But, in my opinion, it will result in correcting the mispricing and misallocation of assets.

This used to be my "Secret" blog. It was so secret, in fact, that even I hardly knew it was here! I've decided to change the nature of this blog, and to perhaps use it more often.
There are many people out there who blog professionally. There are even more people who blog about things they claim to know a lot about, but don't get paid. All of these blogs tend to be very technical and only appeal to others in that field.
I've decided to join these bloggers, and at the same time save my friends and family (who are non-weavers) from the loads of jargon that sometimes fill my posts.

Why almost? Because it has cute fur on the top edge, and the only goth features it has are the cross and black color. I made it since I had no bag for work and university. Btw goth stuff is good for scaring nasty teachers ^__~

I don't like the straps, so later I'm going to decorate them with fake fur. I'm thinking of adding roses to the cross. Or would it be better without them?

So I did have one chair to take a before picture of, but sadly, I forgot.
I did, however, get some shots of the bare bones of the chair.
This project was a great learning experience, as it included two things I had never worked with before.
1. Vinyl.
Vinyl is a pretty heavy materiel, which makes it hard to sew. Thankfully, these chairs didn't need much sewing. Instead, I used quite a lot of staples, and the other thing I had to learn about.
2. Ply Grip.
Scary looking stuff, isn't it? It was actually pretty fun to use once I got the hang of it.
Working with the vinyl was pretty neat too. Because it's manmade with a feel similar to leather, it doesn't fray, which is wonderful. The thickness did make it a bit tricky to recover the button details on the back of the chair, but I resolved that by simply sewing around the cover button, instead of trying to force it in the little press kit with the button back.
My client also refinished the chair frames, and let me have one of them to see how the chair seats would fit.
The frame and arms are right on; just the style of the cushions is different. The chairs I did also weren't such a vibrant ochre color. :)
I don't know their age for sure, but they definitely have a mid century mod look; and the cream color I recovered them in accentuates that even more, I think.
Are you ready for the reveal?
As Becca has been saying, pretty "mod", huh?
I think they turned out nicely. :)
Usually chairs aren't allowed to sit on the table, but we made an exception for the photo.
The ply grip allowed me to do the neat seams along the side with no sewing.
Sorry for the blurry photo, but here's a look at the ply grip before I folded the fabric around and secured it.
A finished side:
I only have time for a few projects before we're off to Bible school, but I'm glad I was able to do this one!

Located at Plouyé at the fine bottom of the Brittany center, close to Huelgoat. Its owner is Walles man attaching and which deserves the turning. Ty Elise is on the way to be an institution and one should classify it historical inheritance. Of course, you understood it, the asepticized European standards and HACCP not yet reached it and did not disfigure it. Some photographs to follow to entice you and give you desire for going there.

May is Michigan Wine Month
By Viki Gudas
Michigan's Grape & Wine Industry Council has declared May as Michigan Wine month for lots of reasons:
- Michigan is the fifth state in wine grape production in the nation, with southwest Michigan producing 45% of the grapes
- Vineyard area has doubled over the last 10 years
- Michigan's 121 commercial wineries bottle more than 2.3 million gallons of wine annually, making Michigan 10th in wine production
- The wine industry contributes $300 million annually to Michigan's economy
In Harbor Country, we're fortunate to have two world class tasting rooms in Union Pier (Round Barn Winery and St. Julian) and a dozen more nearby. Wine tour operators like Harbor Country Adventures, Fruitful Vine, Grape & Grain, and Leisure Limo operate tours so that you can sit back and relax and leave the driving to them.
If you haven't tasted a Michigan wine lately, you might be pleasantly surprised. Increasingly, Michigan wines are receiving high honors at national and international competitions and blind taste tests. Michigan wineries make many styles of wine, from dry to sweet including Ice Wine, sparkling, fortified, and fruit wines.
Southwest Michigan is also home to the Midwest's first commercial teaching winery. The Wine Technology & Viticulture program at Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor provides hands-on experience in wine-making and grape growing. The College will be opening a tasting room affiliated with the program (Lake Michigan Vintner's) in downtown Baroda this spring.
Set your GPS to WINE and sample a glass or two of Michigan wine. You don't have to wait till May, all wineries and tasting rooms are open year-round. You can find many of them on our website.

To this day red and purple is a color combo that always catches my eye. Last month I hit the jackpot of all jackpots at the flea market when I discovered not only the Eight Dollar Pants (yes caps are necessary), but also the most beautiful vintage 70's Missoni-esque halter dress. Try to envision me jumping up and down while various onlookers stare from a safe distance. It shouldn't be too hard if you're a regular reader. I'm just going to spill it: I wish I could turn back time. I want to wear old school vintage treasures that would make Farrah proud. I no longer want to pay more than $15 for anything. My name is Carrie and I am an addict...flea markets are my poison.

1 The NAA SP-A level and the ratio of the SP-A level to the total protein level in NAA (the TP ratio) both tended to be lower among neonates born after shorter gestational ages, and they were particularly low among neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). NAA contains human airway trypsin-like protease (HAT), which is thought to be involved in the physiological functions of the airway, we biochemically analyzed trypin-like enzymes contained in NAA.2 We measured contents of tracheobronchial and alveolar components contained in the newborn airway aspirates (NAA) obtained from 30 normal newborns, with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and bronchial lavage fluid (BLF) from healthy adults as controls. NAA may be useful for diagnosing pathologic conditions in the airway of the newborns, and for comparing the biological defense mechanism between newborns and adults.3 To examined NAA's relationship to maternal factors during pregnancy and in the peri-labor period, and neonatal factors. None of the neonatal factors ana differed significantly between the two groups.4 NAA are useful samples for clinical diagnosis of newborn respiratory disorders, the pulmonary surfactant (PS) content in NAAs from 19 term infants without respiratory problems (Group I) was compared with those from 14 preterm infants (Group II) and 3 infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS, Group III).
