In my last acne post we discussed what the four causes of acne are, with a lot more detail about how it is caused and how those four things interrelate to make for problem skin. But I also get this question A LOT – Why am I getting acne now? I'm an adult! Isn't acne for teenagers?
Here are some numbers for you – between 40 and 55 percent of adults age 20-40 are or have been diagnosed with persistent acne and oily skin. According to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 54 percent of women older than age 25 have some form of chronic facial acne. So no, it is no longer a problem for teenagers. It seems to be affecting more and more of America all the time.
And it is. Research conducted at Dermalogica's International Dermal Institute indicates that acne is rising in adulthood. However it is more likely to be more inflammatory in nature since adults generally take better care of their skin, which is different than the acne experienced by teenagers. Additionally, adults often have sensitized skin or a combination of skin conditions that makes treatment especially challenging, moreso than teens who often have oily but consistent skin.
Triggered by hormones, acne can occur at any stage of our lives. We discussed the four primary causes of acne, but what are the aggravating factors? What causes hormones to get out of balance, which then causes excess oil production? What can you do?
The primary, number one aggravator leading to acne is chronic stress. Acute stress that comes and goes may cause a momentary breakout, but chronic, continued stress will affect the hormone levels in your body, which can dramatically increase oil production and is the root cause of persistent acne. Women are generally more affected by this stress as they combine workplace stress with household responsibilities. Add in to this normal monthly fluctuations in hormone levels, and you have just created the perfect breeding ground for acne.
There are other big contributors too: cosmetics that contain ingredients that are irritants to the skin, or just don't use quality ingredients; actually picking or squeezing acne blemishes will deposit more bacteria on your skin, adding to the problem; the psychological effects of acne first showing up can increase hormone levels, causing more acne, creating an acne cycle.
Another contributor is using skincare products that are harsh and irritate your skin. Your skin is an organ, and must be maintained in optimum health for it to function properly. Using harsh chemicals to treat your skin often does nothing to correct the main causes of acne, but irritates or inflames the skin, negatively impacting follicles. Inflammation, as you may remember, is an immediate condition that can promote acne. There are numerous products advertised on TV, magazines and the internet that can actually do more harm than good. Subjecting your skin to a harsh cleaner or acne treatment without properly preparing your skin and following up with a care regimen is going to do more harm than good.
The bottom line – chronic stress negatively impacts hormone levels, and is the biggest contributor to what can cause acne. Harsh chemicals found in many skincare products, or cosmetics that contain irritants, chemicals, or low quality ingredients are also contributors.
The single best thing you can do at home for the treatment of acne is to reduce stress in your life. Go for a walk, ride a bike, take a day off. Pray, meditate, spend time relaxing. Adopt a more healthy lifestyle with better foods and regular activity. Evaluate what is going on in the workplace and at home, try to find ways to reduce stress in your life. I will happily give you all the acne detox facials you want, and recommend an entire line of products that will help you, but the single best thing you can do is reduce stress. Reduce your stress, and suddenly the detox facials and products will be working much better!
Now you know some of the big contributing factors, and what you can be doing at home, I will finish this up in my last article – what can I do for you, what can you expect, and how are we going to get you on the path to healthy skin!

5 Reasons To Include Lyon On Your Next Trip To France
Maybe it's because the lights of Paris burn so brightly, but travelers often forget there are other cities in France. I suspect smaller French cities get skipped over on the way to the countryside, where people seek life-affirming epiphanies in a quaint, Provençal setting or for suntans on the southern beaches.
I don't blame these vacationers, really, but since moving to Lyon (sometimes called "Lyons" in English), I have had several friends miss a visit to my city because they simply just couldn't squeeze it into their European itinerary. Quel dommage!
I understand that if you plan a week-long visit to New York City, that doesn't mean you will scrap seeing the Statue of Liberty to jaunt over to Chicago for the Sears Tower, or that you wouldn't avoid Rome's Colosseum for Turin's shroud. However, Lyon, now France's second-largest city, is easily accessible by other European and international hubs, and is only two hours by train from Paris. And as the oldest city in France, and the reputed food capital of a nation renowned for its cuisine, you really are running out of excuses not to visit. Here are five reasons why Lyon needs to be included in your next trip to France.
1) Lyon Is Delicious
It's no secret to foodies that Lyon is known for its culinary tradition — the city itself is home to an impressive 22 Michelin stars. Here you can wrap your lips around Lyonnaise specialties such as boudin noir (a dark blood sausage), quenelles (flour and seafood dumplings), tarte aux pralines (a sugary, electric pink dessert) or sip the many varieties of Rhône river valley wine.
Most of these dishes can be found in the traditional bouchons, or the vegetarian-unfriendly local restaurants known for their snout-to-tail style cuisine such as the Café Des Fédérations, Danielet Denise and Le Bouchon Des Filles, the latter of which offers slightly updated versions of the classics.
Personally, I prefer the lighter fair at the daily outdoor marchés, such as the Marché Saint Antoine, which offers an eye-popping array of seasonal produce, cheeses and flowers. Or I shop the Asian markets in the small Chinatown of the Guillotière quarter for curry paste, limes and cilantro.
The most famous specialty food market is Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Paul Bocuse is one of France's most celebrated chefs, a local hero and also namesake to a prestigious cooking school and the world culinary contest known as the Bocuse d'Or.
Finally, no French city is complete without its cafes, necessary for socializing over an apéro before dinner, or for, uh, socializing, over a tiny cup of espresso. For the best coffee in town, head straight for Cafe Mokxa, run by a Franco-New Zealand couple who are very passionate about how their coffee is grown, roasted and served. And for an apéro, try the Café de la Mairie, for the local color of the pétanque players launching their metal balls in the adjacent Place Sathonay.
2) Lyon Is For Lovers
Just one stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets of Vieux Lyon, aka the Renaissance-era "old town," and you will be canoodling with your sweetie. I dare you to steal a kiss in one of the many hidden traboules, which are a network of secret, covered walkways throughout the city. Once used by silk workers to protect their delicate wares, they could inspire your next clandestine romantic meeting.
Vieux Lyon is best avoided on the weekends, though, when it gets clogged with tourists and panhandling street performers. Also, generally, the restaurants here are overpriced, and the pubs full of loud footballers.
Quieter spots for romantic moments can be found on the quais lining the Rhône and Saône. The center of Lyon is a peninsula, or presqu'ile, between two rivers. On the Rhône River side, a peaceful green space with bike lanes is good for people-watching and sunset views. You can also prendre un verre at any of the péniches, which are bars inside the boats floating on the river.
With next to no money and some imagination, lovers can have a memorable time. A fresh baguette, fromage and wine in the grand Parc de la Tête d'Or can make for a sweet picnic. Or they can take a spin on the 200-foot-tall Ferris wheel at Place Bellecour, the largest public square in Europe. If you're lucky, you'll be alone together at the top with a great view of the city.
3) Lyon Is For artists
Creative types will appreciate that the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art has gained increasing international attention in recent years, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts attracts ambitious art students from all over.
While the Musée des Beaux Arts hosts an impressive collection of pieces from ancient Egypt and European paintings and sculpture dating from the 14th Century, many of the galleries on Rue Burdeau showcase modern artists. One gallery that is a constant standout is néon, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to championing the work of younger unknowns.
Art in Lyon can even be found its rues, in its many trompe l'oeil murals and pervasive graffiti. Spacejunk is a gallery for graffers and street artists located on the slopes, or pentes of Croix-Rousse. Here you can buy spray paint bombes, limited prints and original art to a hip-hop soundtrack.
4) Lyon Is For History Buffs
Say this five times fast: Colonia Copia Claudia Augusta Lugdunum. This is Lyon's original Roman name, and her history as a former colony of the empire is evident when you hike up the Fourvière hill for the Musée Gallo-Romain. The UNESCO world heritage site features ruins and two sizable Roman theaters, one of which has been renovated and has recently hosted concerts by Bjork and Bob Dylan.
One of Lyon's most notable landmarks, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, is a very short walk from the ruins, and this impressively constructed church receives two million visitors annually. The most spectacular time to visit is during the Fête des Lumières, or the Festival of Lights, in early December.
It is then that Lyon pays tribute to the Virgin Mary for saving the city from a cholera epidemic that hit Europe in 1823. The Basilica hosts choir and organ concerts, and is illuminated by candles and lights inside and out. In fact, all of Lyon is aglow, as the Lyonnais put candles in their windows and the city organizes nightly light shows. Also, don't tell Mary, but you can sip warm mulled wine on the streets with the other happy revelers.
5) Lyon Is Affordable
Unlike Paris, Lyon is not always crawling with tourists, therefore it's harder to find the prices to match. In most places you can have a decent espresso for less than €2 and a demi pint of beer for €2.50. Lunch for two at a notable bouchon is €60, which includes aperitif, wine, appetizers, mains, and cheese or dessert. This is on the expensive end of things, but forgoing the libations will usually cut the price in half.
The metro, bus and tram lines are very easy to navigate, and €4.90 buys you a "Liberté 1 jour" ticket good for unlimited transfers for the day. You can also rent a Vélo'V city bicycle for €1.50 a day.
Accommodations range from ritzy to basic, depending on your budget. If you want a more personal experience, some nice canut-style apartments, which are 19th-Century silk worker ateliers converted into livable lofts can be rented directly from their owners on Airbnb.
The TGV high speed train from Paris starts at €25 euro one way and €30 EasyJet tickets make it easy to city hop from most places in continental Europe. Otherwise, there are several big airlines that operate international flights into Lyon Saint Exupéry airport year-round.
The official slogan for Lyon is "Only Lyon," which is a way of extolling an alluring city with a 2,000-year history and a rich cultural and culinary heritage. I find Lyon to be very safe, scenic and easy to navigate. It has all the conveniences of any city, but definitely a French way of living, which means that many shops and businesses are closed on Sundays and Mondays, and during lunch hours. But trust me, you won't mine, you'll want to slow down and take your time here anyway.

A Clarion Call for Customers to be Valued as Resources
Jamie Wimberly explains why utilities face a threat, but have an opportunity at this moment to build new relationships with customers. "Energy transactions .. such as prepay energy offerings … accomplish many business objectives at once … as a result of real-time, relevant communications that consumers can act on," he explains.
"Customers will be a critical component of the resource portfolio in the future."

I reached Manipal University early on 11th morning for my M Tech. counseling. Its a 2 hour bus journey from Manglore Central Railway station. I had breakfast in the food court in the campus. I was glad to find cool food joints like Subway and Dominos pizzas too there. I was not that tensed because I was pretty confident that I would get a seat! The counseling began with a couple of presentations about the new programs introduced this year. The countdown of the seats began very soon as the seat were getting filled one by one. My top priority was to get a Computer Science and Engineering seat. If failed then Software Engineering or Network Engineering.
The total intake was only 24 and my rank for the entrance exam is 171. As the rank neared 100 in the counseling, there were 16 vacant and 8 seats filled in CSE. So I thought, for another 100, another 8 will be filled and 8 vacant making my chances to get a CSE seat better! I kept my fingers crossed as my rank was nearing.
And finally my name was called and there were 8 seats remaining in CSE, just as I expected! All the three branches were there for me to choose from. I was thrilled and excited as I got my CSE I wanted. Later I booked my hostel room and also got myself a bank account in SBI!
After failing in the IIIT, Hyderabad exam and seats falling short in VIT, Vellore, I can now finally taste success at MIT, Manipal!
Looking forward for a new beginning at Manipal. To study in a new state and a new language to learn! Lots in store for me as a challenging 2 years study in MIT will begin early next month!

For the last 8 days at least for some part of the day I was traveling in train from one city to another. I was traveling across the southern states of India through Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
It all started on 4th of July when I boarded the sabari express to Hyderabad from Trivandrum via Tamil Nadu. After a 30-hour journey I finally reached secunderabad on 5th at 1PM.
On 6th I went to my college which is an hour and a half journey in train to get my provisional certificate and for a change I came back by bus! On 7th July, I started back to kerala and reached Trivandrum on 8th. I could take little rest till 9th evening as I started to Manglore from Trivandrum for my MTech counseling and reached there on 10th morning. After the counseling on 11th July I started back to Trivandrum in the evening to reach on 12th morning to end the marathon train journey I started a week back!
It ended on a happy note as I got a seat in MTech CSE in MIT, Manipal!

Hello guys… hope you have had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and you were able to spoil them all and of course that you got some wonderful gifts as well.
We all love to make handmade things and usually this blog is dedicated for my main hobby the card making but as some of you know I also like to knit, here and there I crochet and one of my goals for 2014 is to learn how to sew. So today I would like to show you some of my handmade scarfs I made in addition to the purchased gifts. Some ladies also got a card but I wasn't able to get each of them a card because as you all know of the situation in the house. Now I also want you to know that all those things have been made all though out the year. Usually I make scarfs in the cold months for gifts but the baby things you see at the end of this posting are made in the summer because they just don't take that much time. If you are still interested… keep on looking all the way to the bottom, I am offering the baby items for sale.. I have a bunch more if you are interested just don't have a picture of them taken. I am also happy to share with you the name of the pattern if you email me.
Anyways… Ii 'd like to show you some of the gifts.
This Pattern is called Cameo and the scarf was knitted with 2 skeins of Madeline Tosh Merino light (Antler and Corsage) – This scarf was sent to Sweden – thought the lady loved lace
This one I made for myself.. splurging on cost of yarn.. its made from cashmere not knowing that I would break out in hives. My neck turned lobster red bummer. The pattern is called NAE, I made once a scarf with this pattern but this time I altered it and knitted it elongated so I have nice ends to tie around my neck. Cant get over it… this scarf is so pretty.
Here is the set I made for my very sweet friend Tammi. The pattern is called "Boneyard" by Stephen West and some fingerless mittens to go with the scarf. Both patterns were free wohoohooo! The yarn is a mixture of Silk and Merino and it has a very pretty shine to it. Love that dust rose color.
This is a set I have made for my husbands to our wedding anniversary which was on November 30. It also uses Cashmere (variegated yarn) – Noro and Silk Alpaca (Debbie Bliss – Andes). The pattern is made up by myself. Cast on 49 sts you slip the 7 sts in the solid color.
Matching hat – pattern is by Stephen West "Botanic"
Scarf for one of my girlfriends. Pattern is called Pendelum. Yarn is Madelinetosh Merino light (Grasshopper and cloack_
slouchy hats for the kids – because they loose a bunch of them each year. Yarn is Stonehenge Fiber Mill in Michigan worsted. Pattern is by Purl SoHo (free)
Red, red, red, red – Pattern is "Just enough Ruffles", yarn is Malabrigo Worsted
Just enough ruffles
Brioche cowl for my son Lucas made with left over Malabrigo worsted yarn (cast on 33 sts) Brioche was too hard to do Kitchener so I did 3 needle bind off. Works for Lucas but its not totally invisible.
here is an other "Cameo" for my sweet friend Chrissy. yarn is Madeine Tosh Light (Antler and sugarplum)
Here is another "Boneyard" I added to every second stitch a seed bead – once and never again with this yarn. It was so hard. 1 skein of Madeline Tosh Pashmina in color Cherry (Cashmere, Silk and Merino) was enough to make this shawl.
And here are some of the things I have made I like to sell. The sizes range from newborn to like 12 months, please email me (claudiaesrosaathotmail.com) if you are interested and I can give you more information. I only use higher end yarns brands used are Malabrigo Worsted, Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, Blue Sky Alpaca Cotton, Madeline Tosh Vintage, Thaki Cotton, Araucania Ulmo, Dream in Color Classic
For Sale Baby sweaters, tops & cardis
For Sale Baby sweater, dress and Italy top
Anyways… I guess I get my rear moving. I have to go to the fish shop and bring a dead crab back maybe pick a nice coral up. My son's got a reef aquarium for his birthday – it was supposed to be a hobby for him and hubby but for some reason I got pulled into that too.. so now its my job to get the water ect. and later I might watch some more youtube videos. I am lately into how to style your hair tutorials lol. I feel like 22 lol, geezz… how embarrassing that I need actually someone to show me how to use a curling iron. Later today I want to browse a bit more to card blogs and also need to prepare my blog posting for the Magnolia Christmas calendar. My slot is on the 29! so don't forget to see me on my Magnolia only blog for a chance to win some candy. hugs to all of you. Thanks for still reading.

Looking for a scanner antenna for your house, but you don't work for NASA or teach physics at MIT? Look no further—this antenna package is for you. While there are no shortage of antenna options (Scanner Antenna Buyer's Guide ) on the market as well as endless ways to set up your antenna, this package has everything you need to successfully complete an outdoor scanner antenna installation:
› Antenna
› Coax Cable (50' with BNC male on both ends)
› Mast (optional add on)
› Grounding Kit (optional add on)
Every home antenna installation is unique, so we left some items optional. We break down each option below.
Police Scanner Antenna
A wideband, omni directional antenna allows you to monitor everything possible from all directions. The ProComm SP800/50BN is the best out-of-home (OOH) on the market. We used to offer several OOH antennas, but the ProComm SP800/50BN is the best value, so we cut out all other options. Some scanner antennas cost upwards of $300, but the gains are marginal at best. The ProComm SP800/50BN antenna is incredibly easy to assemble (no tools needed), inexpensive, durable, can go on any roof/attic/closet installation and small. Basically, you can use anywhere and have it set up in about 10 minutes. It's awesome, we're sure you'll love it. Scroll down to the 'compare' tab to see technical specs.
Coax Cable
Package includes 50' of RG58 coax with BNC male connectors on each end; add additional coax if needed. Recommended coax length usage for reference:
› 50 feet - 1 story home with pitched roof or 2 story with flat roof
› 100 feet - 2 story home with pitched roof or 3 story with flat roof
For a detailed explanation of coaxial cable (coax) here is the Wikipedia page.
RG58 is an affordable coax cable for police scanner antenna installations. Coated with a 90% rated outer layer, RG58 reduces interference & leakage. Both ends terminate with BNC male which fits on any scanner or scanner antenna. It's coax, we recommend not overthinking this aspect. If 50' is not enough when you get an antenna, you can always pick one up at local hardware store.
We ofter 2 mast types, a pole and a J-mount. The mast required depends on how/where you'll install your antenna. Already have a mast on your roof? We highly recommend using what you have if possible.
Grounding Kit
Our police scanner antenna grounding kit provides you with everything needed to ground your antenna with zero technical know-how in about 15 minutes. Basically, you need to put 2 clamps on with a wrench and push one 3-foot stake in the ground. Kit comes with 3 stakes, but only one needs to be used. No equipment or electrical know-how required. Works with any outdoor antenna including all scanner antennas we sell. This is a safety item that should be used on all outdoor antennas. Protects against electrical shorts and lighting strikes. The antenna grounding kit provides a lower path to a safe discharge point. Also grounding the antenna will "drain off" electrical noise, leaving a cleaner signal. Grounding Kit includes:
› 1/2" ground clamps - 3 included
› 3' 1/2" D galvanized grounding rods - 3 included
› 50' spool of 12.5 gauge aluminized steel ground wire - 1 included
Antenna grounding rules & laws vary greatly depending on the state/city you live in and your homeowners insurance policy, but this kit will have you covered. Some states do not require antenna grounding, but you're putting a metal rod on your home which will act as a lightening magnet—we recommend springing a few extra bucks to ground your antenna.
Specifics & Compare
|ProComm SP800/50BN Home Scanner Antenna Technical Specifics
|Model Number
|Antenna Type
|3lbs. - 48oz.
|25"(H) x 14"(W)
|Connector input
|BNC male
|Whip Material
|Stainless Steel
|Natural Metal
|Mast Requirement
|1.25" to 2" Pipe
|Frequency Range
|30-1200 MHz
|Antenna, 50' coax with BNC male end
|1 Year
How much will this increase what I can hear?
Varies greatly based on several factors like topography, antenna location and cable length but a good rule of thumb is about 50% increase. Digital police scanners get about 30 miles of range so an outdoor antenna would bring this to 45 miles. Again, there are a lot of factors that play into reception but this is a good rule of thumb.
Can I install this on my own?
You should be able to. We give you everything needed; as long as you have very basic tools like a hammer, screwdriver and a ladder you should be sound as a pound.
Can you help me if I can't figure it out?
Absolutely - this is what we're here for.

I cannot see the cigarette burns on Manju's* arms. I cannot see Priya's broken front tooth or Jyoti's misshapen arm from a break that was never set. I am blind—not literally, but selectively. Literally, I see the scars that speak of the unspeakable atrocities these young women suffered from being trafficked in India's multi-billion dollar sex trade. As I stand before these courageous survivors, my eyes focus on what I am here to see, which is who these young women are, right now, in this moment. And right now, they are just like any other 17 to 22-year-old women anywhere in the world facing something new—they fidget with their clothes and hair, tell jokes, and nervously glance in my direction, uncertain and tentative of who I am and what I am doing here in this women's rescue organization half a world away from my home in Chicago.
Before they can think too much, I have them on their feet and making a fist. As their arms stretch toward the ceiling, I rush from girl to girl to check that each fist is tight and each thumb curls across the fronts of their bent fingers. Now they are punching to my count. At first they punch slowly, but then they punch more quickly and powerfully. They are rapt; their determination to learn obliterates their recent nervousness. Having been told all their short lives that only men have power, these ladies are getting a sense of the power that lies within them—a power no one can touch, a power that grows with every punch. Their eyes fix on my movements as I show them how to strike with a hammer fist, with a palm, and then a knee. We chant the weak parts of where to strike a male assailant, the strong parts of a woman, and map one to the other. By the end of class, there is an almost tangible energy, and the glow of an inner power lights each face. This is what I see.
I have had the privilege to similarly teach some 300 women and girls since 2010 with my non-profit Green Tara Project. That year, after reading about human trafficking in the book Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudun, I found myself compelled to do something. A short internet search yielded numerous anti-trafficking organizations I could help, but my training as a geologist left me lacking in sought-after volunteer skills. And even though I had a passion for the martial arts, one I had honed over for 17 years as an athlete, a coach, and a student, those skills were not being sought. Then a thought struck me, "Why aren't they?"
I reflected on the self-defense I had been teaching to women here in the U. S.; many had been sexually assaulted through the same tactics that predators the world over use to entrap and traffic girls—drugs, emotional coercion, and physical abuse. Surely anti-trafficking organizations needed these skills for the at-risk and the rescued. Another internet search yielded a "yes" and a rescue organization in Bihar, one of the poorest states in India. After a few email exchanges and a couple of months, I was on my way. That first trip showed me the overwhelming need for getting these skills to those who need them most—the outcast, the marginalized, and the impoverished who fall prey to human traffickers. Thus, Green Tara Project was born.
Today, Green Tara Project has provided self-defense classes to five organizations in India, is starting work here in the U. S., and is returning to India in November. Named after the Buddhist goddess of enlightened activity, my nonprofit's focus is on physical, psychological, and pre-assault aspects of self-defense. We not only impart skills to girls, but also confidence and self-esteem. With human trafficking relying on a ready supply of physically and psychologically vulnerable people, if a woman has the skill to defend herself, the self-confidence to speak up for herself, and the knowledge to identify predators before they strike, then she and her children may be less likely to be victimized and trafficked. From this, a small disruption in the trafficking cycle might occur. Green Tara Project is dedicated to providing the means to disrupt the cycle.

Beagle Garden Products is a new company, established by a semi-retired property professional whose garden had been riddled with moles and who decided to take the bull by the horns and design and manufacture a better mole trap than was already available. The revolutionary EasySet Mole Trap represents a significant step-change in mole trap design, reducing the chance of personal injury whilst simultaneously increasing the chances of a kill.
Just Us has been involved with Beagle since the outset. The brand identity was developed to reflect the high quality of the products, whilst press advertising, POS, packaging and product literature have all followed, the result being a comprehensive and cohesive set of communications whose messages are consistent.

HA NOI (VNS) — Two people were killed on the spot while 24 were injured after two coaches running in the same direction collided on the Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway yesterday afternoon.
The accident happened in Vinh Phuc Province's Lap Thach District on the 265km highway, which connect Ha Noi to the northern province of Lao Cai. The collision killed a couple from Ha Noi sitting at the front of the second coach. Both vehicles were seriously damaged.
Most of the injured were taken to Vinh Phuc General Hospital, while some were transported to Phu Ninh Hospital in the neighbouring Phu Tho Province.
In response to the accident, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who is also the Chairman of the National Committee for Traffic Safety, asked all relevant agencies to investigate the accident immediately.
In his urgent official message to traffic safety committees in Vinh Phuc, Lao Cai and Ha Noi, as well as related agencies under the Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Transport, Phuc instructed police to start their investigation into the accident and identify the victims.
The traffic safety committee in Vinh Phuc Province has been assigned to supply health workers, medicine and medical equipment to minimise human losses.
The Directorate of Viet Nam was asked to provide transport data for the investigation and review inter-provincial coach safety.
The Viet Nam Expressway Corporation was asked to check problems on the expressway.
Also yesterday, two separate accidents killed two and injured three others.
A truck killed a student and severely injured three others yesterday in Bau Lam Commune, Xuyen Moc District in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
The truck reportedly moved into the opposite lane and hit a group of four students from the local Hoa Binh High School.
The truck's driver and another man who was in the truck were also slightly injured when it fell off the side of the road. The case is under investigation.
Another man died after being hit by a train running from Ha Noi to the central city of Vinh.
Dinh Van Dinh, 36, was said to have deliberately driven his motorbike over the railway even though the train was approaching. He and the motorbike were dragged 200 metres by the train. — VNS

Rolling out of bed to the sound of chirping birds
I realized its a morning of a new dawn
Promising the adventure of nature
That awaits to be embraced by all who pay attention to the marvels of our surroundings
I walk towards the window and peer out to the bright morning sun
That baths the earth with its motherly warmth
In that moment my skin tingles with the appreciation of life
Here in this moment I live to see the day
Here in this moment I rejoice and take advantage of what I have
Here in this moment I cherish the love of family and friends
Here in this moment I will enjoy the pleasures of my life
And above all, I will spread the fragrance of love like the spring rose to all who need to be loved
Beautiful cherry blossoms
Majestically you stand, just like the king and queen you are.
Your presence triggers my heart to realize what love is all about
It's gentle, warm and beautiful like cherry blossoms
Twinkling with light in the night
While glowing with sparks of inspiration during the day
And bringing forth laughter and the spirit of friendship
Cherry blossoms, you spring along everlasting amusement in all humanity.
Keep on blossoming and cheering all the tender hearted…
Laughter is such a relief
It soothes my pain to the core
Like the calm waters, it allows to flow with happiness
Laughter lights up my day
It propels me in the right direction
Laughter is like this precious jewel to me
I wanna laugh all the time and share its light
Even in the midst of depressing times
I always find strength in my laughter
It gives me a positive outlook on life
I wanna share my laughter with you
Kick that stinky mood you are in today and laugh a little
Live, laugh, love!
Buoyant about what awaits ahead
I courageously take the wheel
And drive into the red sunset
To fill my tank with springs of wisdom
I peer through my rearview mirror
And see the fragile imagery of me
Crumbling down into the heat of summer
Wiping sweat from my somber brows
Today I put my foot on the pedal
And accelerate to new heights
Leaving all of my yesterday
Submerged in the rearview mirror
I joyously sigh for relief
Suddenly sparks the realization of a utopian destiny
Where pain and hatred is foreign
But love prevails and shines like the red sunset
Jolly flowers, waving at me with an endearing love
The kind of love for all who seek and cherish it
But it only takes a few to stop in their tracks and
Notice thy beauty filled with abundance love
It only takes a few to feed and satisfy their dispirited vases
Oh jolly flowers, you are more than plants to me
You are the forceful spirit of joy transforming those
Who come into contact with you and breathe love into faces
Your colorful blooms feed the desires of the heart
Jolly flowers:
You may come in different forms, but your beauty is
Everywhere, and I know right here in front of me
I'm not just peering at pretty purple jolly flowers
I am actually standing in your magnificent presence
Filled with astounding love for all
Jolly flower, you warm my heart with a tingling sensation
Running through my body and gracing me with a sweet
Aroma permeating through the air I breath and filling my vase
With bountiful love to share with others as I blissfully snuggle in
Your awesome love and kindness
Thy endless love bestowed by you pretty jolly flowers
Sitting here alone in my living room, I take a deep sigh as I reflect on what I have gone through for the last year and a half, when my husband left me. I was afraid, but I did not yield to fear. Instead I dug deep inside and found the strength I never knew I had. This tough time did not break me, it only made me stronger, and I am proud of the woman I am today.
Yes, this deep sigh is a sign of relief, I know that in time of adversity, it is important to stand tall and go on with your life and figure out the right puzzles that will make your life better than before. Remember to just live, laugh, and love!

Mumbai rail authorities want fare hike for better maintenance of assets
Mumbai rail authorities want fare hike for better maintenance of assets like tracks, rails, signals and overhead cables as there was another case of rail fracture that affected punctuality of local trains
Mumbai: Rail authorities in Mumbai want fare hike for better maintenance of assets like tracks, rails, signals and overhead cables. On November 5 there was another case of rail fracture that affected punctuality of local trains.
Railway Ministry has asked the CR authorities to chalk out an immediate plan to tackle maintenance and technical issues.
File pic
The problems faced by the 42 lakh rail commuters of Central Railway will now be addressed by the Railway ministry in Delhi. After yet another case of technical snag, this time rail fracture near Dockyard Road station on November 5, the railway ministry called the CR authorities to explain reasons.
Ironically on the same day the General Manager of CR, SK Sood apparently once again stated the need for a fare hike to balance out with other modes of transport in Mumbai.
On Wednesday afternoon, there was a rail fracture – a crack on rail tracks – on platform 2 of Dockyard Road station. "This happened at 3.40pm and was rectified at 3.52pm. There were no cancellations," said AK Singh, PRO, Central Railway.
However, this led to chaos on the two-line Harbour section where trains begin to run late with delay of 10 minutes and more. On Tuesday the pantograph of one of the long distance trains' got stuck which resulted in cancellations and delays. Earlier last week there was major derailment of a long distance train at Kalyan, which had created lot of trouble for the commuters.
"The Railway minister has asked for an immediate action plan for these recurrences of technical failures from the Central Railway authorities," said MP Kirit Somaiya. The Central Railway had recently proposed to carry out mega blocks even on Saturday's as they were facing time crunch for carrying maintenance works.
Moreover, the same authorities have been stating the fall back of fare hike earlier this year in the budget, has resulted in severe losses to tune of over Rs 700 crore annually. This lack of funds has resulted in problems in carrying out maintenance work efficiently.

Past Winner of TGA's New Product Innovation Award Poised to Impress
Travelpro, the original inventor of Rollaboard® luggage and a pioneer in innovative luggage design, will premier unique collections from the Travelpro® and Atlantic® brands at the 2016 Travel Goods Association (TGA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Industry leaders looking for the "best of the best attend" the show, which runs from March 8-10 in Las Vegas. Travelpro is introducing a record number of new luggage lines at the event: Crew™ 11 (hardside and softside); Crew™ Executive Choice™ 2 (business cases); Maxlite® 4 (hardside and softside); and Marquis™ 2 (softside), while Unite™ 2 and the new Atlantic® Designer Series will be launched under the Atlantic brand."Always pushing the boundaries of creativity and design, Atlantic Luggage is guaranteed to garner a lot of attention at this year's show. Two renowned artists/designers – Kris Ruff and Amanda Caronia – have partnered with our in-house design team to create some of the most unique and fashionable luggage collections on the market today under the new Atlantic Designer Series brand," said Scott Applebee, Vice President of Marketing for the Travelpro and Atlantic brands.
A life-long love of pattern, color and interior design led Kris Ruff into surface design. She is influenced by the clean graphics and saturated hues of Scandinavian design and finds inspiration in nature and on her travels. Her bold colors and lively line work make the Kris Ruff brand contemporary and energetic.
Bella Caronia is a lifestyle brand for those who love nature, color and style. With a background in fashion, designer Amanda Caronia has a unique eye for creating prints from her hand paintings and drawings. Her modern-meets-vintage look brings color and style to your everyday life. Travelpro will be introducing the next generation of its flagship collection, Crew, at the show. Continuing the heritage of the line that traces its roots back to the original Rollaboard invention by Travelpro company founder, Bob Plath, the 11th generation of the line includes a full offering of softside and hardside luggage, along with a business case collection designed to meet the needs of the frequent traveler.
Highlights of the Crew 11 series include an external USB port and integrated battery pouch on select carry-on models which provides access to power on the go. The hardside carry-on model also has a built-in rear cup holder for convenient storage of a favorite beverage when moving through busy airports. Other key features are the Patented Contour Grip design that provides more control and comfort when pushing Spinner luggage; the Patented MagnaTrac™ system with self-aligning magnetic dual wheel Spinners that ensure luggage always rolls in a straight line; and the Patented PowerScope extension handle that minimizes wobble and has multiple stops at 38″, 40″ and 42.5″ for a smooth roll for travelers of different heights.
An essential business accessory, the Crew Executive Choice 2 business case collection is perfect for today's frequent business travelers. Crew Executive Choice 2 includes a variety of briefs, backpacks, rolling briefs and totes for the business traveler that demands it all: durability, convenience, versatility and a fashionable look that makes a bold statement. Executives appreciate features such as a padded sleeve for laptops up to 15.6″, plus a separate padded tablet pocket. An External USB port on select models provides access to power on the go, while extra security is ensured with an RFID-blocking pocket that keeps credit cards and passports hidden to protect against identity theft.More durable than ever, Travelpro Maxlite 4 Hardside and Softside luggage ensures you can travel ultra light and travel right. Packed with innovations like tapered expansion for added stability, a Contour Grip on Spinners for more comfort and stylish accents throughout, Maxlite 4 makes travel a pleasure. Plus, every piece is tested to our most demanding standards and backed by our reassuring Lifetime Warranty.
The Maxlite 4 Hardside Collection features a unique scratch-resistant shell treatment called Chromashift™ that changes color as the light shifts and viewing angles change. This dynamic color changing shell is sure to draw a crowd at the show. Four-wheel spinners rotate 360°, ensuring superior maneuverability in both the hardside and softside collections.

Life is mysterious, fascinating, intriguing. Here my words nibble around the edges of it as the mood takes me.
Tuesday, March 28, 2017
A is for Write.
They say the key to writing is to write.
Something every day
I don't r-e-a-l-l-y want to do a "about my life" type blog (although it may impinge from time to time)
so I have hit on this plan -
Going through the alphabet, writing on random subjects, starting with the letter for that day.
I am aiming at (holds breath) something every day!
This is a kind of dare to my doubting self -
Will I keep at it because I've said it out loud in public?
"Angry is just sad's bodyguard" *
If this be so, our country must be one of the saddest places around.
The level of people's anger is intense, bubbling just below the surface, ready to explode into view at any moment.
Today, with the president having summoned our esteemed Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan back to the country in the middle of a road show overseas like a naughty school boy, the anger is palpable.
Of course this is just the latest in a litany of other questionable goings on, which only adds fuel to the fire.
There is anger -
About the levels of corruption
About the funnelling funds to cronies and away from the poor, who have always suffered the most
At the betrayal of those people who faithfully vote for the betrayers every election, choosing to believe that maybe, just maybe, this time they would deliver.
At a country being run into the ground for some people's personal gain.
And behind it all, sadness looking for a way to cope with the pain.

2019 Nissan Titan
The 2019 Nissan Titan will feature some good updates. It appears it is time for some tweaks to the existing model, after 3 years of production. To advise you, the initial variation of this extremely capable truck was active for complete 12 years. Regardless of such extra-long production cycle, it stayed competitive.
With the redesign that came 3 years back, things ended up being even much better. The popular Patrol-based truck included many changes, consisting of entirely new style, upgraded engines, new cabin and a lot more. After 3 years of production, it is time to see some changes. Thinking about that the original existed for 12 years, we do not anticipate wonders from this upgrade. Probably, this refresh will consist of a new variation of a diesel motor, and some small tweaks in regards to basic devices. On the other side, styling changes do not look so most likely.
2019 Nissan Titan Design Changes
As we've currently pointed out, more crucial changes in regards to base style qualities are not anticipated. The 2019 Nissan Titan will continue to ride on the very same platform and keep exact same percentages also. Mentioning the style language, our company believe that it is still early for some adjustments. Nevertheless, some small novelties fresh color alternatives and wheels style are rather possible. Remainder of the truck will stay the very same.
A genuine mid-cycle refresh will most likely come someplace in 2 or 3 years, when we anticipate to see numerous changes in regards to styling, such as new headlights, grille and a lot more. The interior decoration will likewise stay basically the exact same.
2019 Nissan Titan Interior Design
Consider this refresh as simply the very first upgrade. The genuine one will come later on. For this celebration, a top priority is a new diesel engine, while the interior must stay the very same. We will see a familiar control panel design, along with general cabin style. Still, some changes in regards to basic devices are rather possible. The trim level company will stay the very same, however each variation ought to get couple of novelties.
There are essentially 4 trim levels. Those are S, SV, SL and Platinum Reserve. Each of these models slowly gets a growing number of devices. Lastly, there is another, unique variation. You might consider it the 5th trim level also. It is called Pro-4X and it is created for the off-road drive. Compared to other versions, it includes many adjustments on chassis, such as suspension, brakes, tires and so on. In addition, it gets couple of special styling information too.
2019 Nissan Titan Engines
The existing variation includes 2 engines in the deal. The base and the more popular engine is a well-known 5.6-liter V8. This engine has actually remained in the deal for several years in numerous Nissan models and it is well-known for its incredible sturdiness. With the most recent tweaks, it is likewise extremely effective. It has an overall output of 390 horse power and 394 pound-feet of torque. When it concerns transmission, this engine is available in couple with a 7-speed automated transmission.
On the other side, there is a 5.0-liter diesel engine from Cummins. With the most recent upgrade, it will get extra 45 pound-feet of torque. So, overall numbers will walk around 310 horses and 600 pound-feet of torque. This increase will supply even much better lead to regards to towing. Transmission for this engine is a familiar 6-speed automated.
2019 Nissan Titan Release Date and Price
In spite of these updates, 2019 Nissan Titan will can be found in a basically normal time, in late 2018. Changes in cost are not anticipated, so base models will walk around 33.000 dollars. Competitors is quite difficult. There are models like Toyota Tundra, GMC Sierra, Chevy Colorado, Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and so on.

Halal Harry
Cuong Dang / Tom Sullen
Amidst the chaos of 7/7, love continues to blossom. Harry, a London barman, living at home with his domineering Catholic mother, has never been lucky enough to meet 'the one', until a chance encounter brings him into contact with Aisha. She too feels a connection, but there is one problem. Her parents are strict Muslims.
Their relationship appears doomed from the start but Harry is determined to overcome any obstacles. He works his way into Aisha's family by donning a head-to-toe burka and taking lessons in Islam. Despite several appalling cultural and religious faux pas, Harry makes good progress, and with Aisha's help he gradually wins over her forbidding father.
But the hard-line neighbours are not so quick to accept him: Ghoni, the pious pillar of the community, whose devotion to Islam is second only to that for his local call-girl, Cherise, tells everyone that Harry is an infidel and has been seeing another woman!
Will Harry prove his innocence and win back the heart of the one he loves? To do so he must dare to confront the unbending, uncompromising force of extremist Islam - and his mother.

While working on the Earthish theme, I wanted to theme the Drupal user login block. I did a quick Google search, but the results were not great. Many of the tutorials were about customizing the user form or customizing the login form on the user page. It was close, but that's not what I was looking for, I just wanted to theme just the login block. I did find some outdated examples, but the whole process was more challenging than I had expected. The steps below aim to simplify the process and help other Drupal themers.
First I tried getting as far as possible using CSS.
Next I used the Devel module to see what I could override and find out more about the login block. I ran into a problem here, the login form is visible only when you are logged out. Yet, using devel requires you to login. To address this issue I set the devel permissions to be viewed by anonymous users on my local development environment (Do not do this on a production website). So after changing the permissions and using devel you can see the general theme_form() function is called and ultimately used to create the login block. But, there is no specific theme function to override and since I don't want to override all forms (this was not what I wanted to do) I needed to register a theme function.
Themes register a theme function, by implementing the function hook_theme. To register a theme function you need to know the form ID. Using Firebug, you can find id="user-login-form". The function hook_theme always returns an array that contains info about the hook. For forms, the name of the hook is the form ID. You can find out more about hook_theme on Drupal API. So one would think that using user_login_form for our theme function would work. To add to the complexity, it does not because we are trying to theme the login block. Instead we need to use, user_login_block. Below is code that needs to be pasted into your theme template.php file.
* Register user theme function
function themename_theme(){ // No theme function defined for user login block
return array(
// Register theming function, it's user login block and not user login form
'user_login_block' => array(
'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
// Template file, ex: user-login-block.tpl.php
'template' => 'user-login-block',
Now that we have our theme function we can create a preprocess function and template file (user-login-block.tpl.php). You don't necessarily need to provide a template file but I find it useful if you want to have more granular control of the display. Below is my preprocess function. With the preprocess fucntion you can add or modify variables. In the example below I'm changing the text of the login button to 'Login', instead of the default 'Log in'. Also, I'm modifying the text field size for the name and password fields. Here you can get creative and add or remove all sorts of information. You can use devel to see what variables are available to you.
function themename_preprocess_user_login_block(&$vars) {
// Modify the output
$vars['form']['submit']['#value'] = "Login";
$vars['form']['name']['#size'] = "12";
$vars['form']['pass']['#size'] = "12";
$vars['form_markup'] = drupal_render($vars['form']); // Print out in template file
For the template file, the sky is the the limit. You can create any markup you like and even print out elements individually, just like you would for any other template file. Remember to use the devel module to troubleshoot any problems while creating or modifying the template file.

Acme Bread Company is one of the nation's foremost artisan bakeries, turning organic flour and a host of California-grown ingredients into more than 30 different types of bread.
If Steve and Suzie Sullivan had listened to the crusty carpenter who was helping build their first bakery, they would have been making hot dogs instead of world-class bread.
The young entrepreneurs persevered and in 1983 opened Acme Bread Co. in Berkeley.
Their decision has meant manna from epicurean heaven for Bay Area bread lovers, who are considered some of the most discerning in the world.
Acme is one of the nation's foremost artisan bakeries, turning organic flour and a host of California-grown ingredients into more than 30 different types of bread that have impressed their wide customer base as well as critics.
The humble beginning of the bakery occurred in the 1970s. Steve Sullivan, at the time a busboy at the acclaimed Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, vacationed in Europe and fell in love with old-style bread. He returned and began to bake bread, which eventually convinced him and his new bride to open their own bakery. The business has been a steady, if not spectacular, success.
"People used to scoff at our modest growth," Sullivan said. "But then we've had that same modest, 5- to 15-percent growth per year for the last 25 years. That bespeaks a certain growth in the market. I don't think it's the same people buying more bread. More people are looking for better bread."
Sullivan said people realize that good bread is an affordable indulgence.
"Good bread doesn't cost $50 a loaf," he said. "The best bread doesn't cost that much more than the worst bread, so I think people are discovering that that's an area where they can find the best the area has to offer, without having to spend what seems like an absurd amount of money."
Acme has four bakeries: two in Berkeley, one at San Francisco's Ferry Plaza Marketplace and one in Mountain View. At their main facility in Berkeley, three shifts of bakers work around the clock, seven days a week, making thousands of loaves of bread daily to meet customer demands. Everything except mixing is done by hand in the traditional way, including the baking, in their impressive hearth ovens.
Whether it's pain au levain, New York rye or a simple sourdough baguette, Sullivan said a good loaf of bread is an experience that's enjoyable on several different levels.
"It's something pretty primitive," he said. "For us, because we bake it, it's associated to some extent with the hearth, heat and fire—the sounds and smell of the crust crackling as it cools after it comes out of the oven. … When you know how something is made and it's made in a way that you feel good about, that gives an emotional boost to the experience as well."

I 'd like to continue my talks about one of my favourite arguments: currencies correlations.
Just as a reminder… the correlation tells you how much two pairs (or two single currencies) are related: if they tend to move in the same direction (direct correlation), in opposite directions (inverse correlation) or if they don't have any relation between them (no correlation).
Spread trading is a "non directional" way to trade with stocks or CFDs, etc. but it can be used in Forex as well.
In general, you take two pairs that are directly correlated and trade long the one that is relatively stronger than the other, while you trade short the weaker. In practice you buy the stronger one and sell the weaker one.
That way you try to reduce trading risks, still doing some profits.
How does it work? Since the two pairs (or currencies) tend to move in the same direction, if the one that you traded long is in gain, probably the one that you're trading short is in loss.
But you "bet" on the fact that the one that you traded long will gain more than the loss you're taking with the one you're trading short as it is actually "stronger" than the other.
This is a "non directional" trading as you don't care anymore about the trend as your gain comes from the relative gain/loss between the two pairs.
- you analyse the correlation between pairs
- you choose two pairs that are strongly correlated (not too much) Ex. EURUSD/GBPUSD
- wait for the moment when a pair becomes "stronger" than the other and you go long that one and short the other
This is the classical "non directional" approach to Forex Spread trading.
There are another couple of approaches: one that is about the same but that waits the periods when two pairs that are usually correlated, decorrelate. It trades those periods assuming that the two pairs sooner or later will came back "home" and came back to be correlated again.
Another approach is the "directional" one. The steps are exactly the same described above but you choose two inversely correlated pairs (Ex. EURUSD/USDCHF) instead of directly correlated. That may expose you to higher risks but it also usually leads to bigger profits.
As usual we developed a set of indicators and an EA using that strategy (directional and non directional). Both will be available in the coming weeks.


text: More information: Everyone Deserves a Roof - Korean Resource Center | Shelter for All Koreatown . Dear Mayor Garcetti and Members of the City Council: I am writing to you to urge you to vote in favor of the proposed shelter at 682 S. Vermont in Koreatown, and for the other bridge home sites across the city. As a neighbor of the Koreatown shelter site, I see this as an opportunity for the city to directly help my homeless neighbors. Koreatown is a neighborhood we love, a diverse community that has thrived in the face of adversity. Unfortunately, Koreatown, like much of Los Angeles, has faced growing problems due to the shortage of affordable housing. The most visible and damaging of these consequences is the growing number of homeless people living on the streets. Koreatown currently lacks the facilities necessary to house even a small fraction of its homeless residents. As a result, my homeless neighbors face violence, exposure to the elements, and the everyday indignities of life without a home. In order to begin addressing this issue, I urge you to support the proposed plan for a temporary emergency shelter. It is important that this project includes consideration for the cluster of problems that are often linked to homelessness, including mental health and addiction issues, exposure to violence, economic hardship, domestic abuse, illness, and disability. The city must ensure that residents of bridge home shelters are able to access the support services necessary to address difficult and interrelated problems. That is why I believe this location, which sits in the heart of the Koreatown community and at the intersection of a number of key transit corridors, will help ensure that residents are able to access not just the services provided by the shelter, but all of the services and opportunities offered by this city. While Koreatown's residents and other shelter neighbors need to have a voice in this project, I reject the politics of fear that see the shelter as a threat to this neighborhood's safety and economic vibrancy. Koreatown has managed to grow and thrive, even as its homeless population has grown. During this period, Los Angeles has tried to police its way out of this problem, a strategy that has failed to improve conditions for the homeless or the housed. The shelter in Koreatown, and others like it across the city, offer an alternative to this failed approach. I hope that this vote is not an endpoint. As the details begin to take shape, I urge you to undertake this project in a transparent manner that includes community stakeholders in the process. Shelter housing is not a burden to be carried by each community, but an opportunity to be part of the solution. Koreatown loves our neighbors, and I hope that you will support this shelter, and future plans for shelters, supportive housing, and affordable housing throughout Los Angeles.

Immigration Debate Twist: Internet Access and Net Neutrality
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - People in the midst of the immigration debate say it's intertwined with another issue, one that might be surprising: universal broadband access and net neutrality. They're two big issues that might be more related than they seem. Migrant advocacy groups celebrated last week when the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it would regulate broadband in much the same way as telephone networks. Telephone service is essentially treated as a universal service that all Americans should have access to.
George Lujan, communications organizer with the Southwest Organizing Project, says the Internet has played a major role in the ongoing drama over Arizona's new immigration law.
"From news websites and everybody's blogs, all across Facebook, the entire social media network, really, it was inescapable for a couple of weeks now."
The FCC recently unveiled its new broadband plan, which includes plans to extend broadband access to all Americans over the next decade. Lujan says rural, migrant and low-income communities are among those still most likely to lack broadband access and the opportunities that come with it. Grassroots groups are calling the FCC announcement a big victory, and one that wouldn't have been possible without organizing done over the Internet.
Lujan says he's optimistic that the recent FCC regulation decision will also strengthen the argument for preserving net neutrality, which prevents telecom companies from shutting off, or slowing, certain types of information on the Internet.
"It's very scary to think that we might even face a future where we're closing down that communication, where instead of hearing more about what's going on, we're hearing less and less."
Lujan says keeping the Internet open is important to the work that migrant advocates do, as well as to maintaining communications with family across political borders, and even helping develop small businesses.
Broadband companies argue that they should be able to operate their networks as they see fit, and in at least one legal ruling, a court agreed.

News spread like lightning through publishing circles on Wednesday when it was revealed that Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements had resigned after a decade-long reign at the magazine.
The announcement was made by chief executive of the Murdoch-owned NewsLifeMedia, Nicole Sheffield, and was soon followed by the news that Edwina McCann, editor of Harper's Bazaar Australia for the last three years, will be talking over at Vogue.
Understandably, the news came as something of a shock to those in fashion circles, not least because the rivalry between Harper's Bazaar and Vogue has always been fierce. Both titles have been historically influential as 'women's interests' magazines ever since they launched in the USA at the turn of the 20th century. While Vogue's standing as the world's most influential fashion title has waned somewhat in recent years, in most markets it still leads the charge. Australia, however, is the only market where Bazaar has consistently achieved higher circulation figures than Vogue.
The editorial shake-up has left many wondering what it all means for the publications. For insiders, Vogue has scored major points with its consistent use of models on the cover, rather than celebrities, with the last non-model appearing on the cover in August 2011. On the other hand, Bazaar's covers are generally borrowed from their US-based sister publication and mostly feature celebrities.
The defection of McCann, then, raises all kinds of questions. Whether Vogue will take on a similar feel to the successful one she has applied at Bazaar remains to be seen, but either way, the new editor has a bank of experience on her side, starting her career at Vogue and garnering over 20 years in the luxury fashion industry.
In her three years at Bazaar, McCann oversaw a significant overhaul of the magazine's online presence, while Vogue's online model has proved lacklustre – something that cannot have escaped her new boss's attention. McCann's role as editor-in-chief will include guiding the Vogue Australia brand across print and online platforms.
While the past couple of years has seen Vogue Australia shake off its reputation as one of the lesser Vogue titles, clearly this wasn't enough to improve circulation figures or satisfy the higher-ups. It's certainly a publication in need of some reinvigorating, especially in the digital sphere, so we'll be watching with interest as to just where McCann takes the magazine.
