A growing brush fire was threatening thousands of homes in Brentwood and other hillside communities on the west side of Los Angeles, burning homes and prompting widespread evacuations early Monday.
The Getty fire broke out shortly after 1:30 a.m. along the 405 Freeway near the Getty Center and spread to the south and west, rapidly burning more than 500 acres and sending people fleeing from their homes in the dark. About 10,000 structures have been placed under mandatory evacuation orders.
The evacuation zone was described by fire officials as a box: Mulholland Drive on the north side, the 405 on the east, Sunset Boulevard on the south and Temescal Canyon Road on the west.
Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas said despite firefighters' efforts, at least five homes, including some on Tigertail Road, have been destroyed in the blaze. That number likely will climb in the coming hours.
Mayor Eric Garcetti urged residents to leave if they are under mandatory evacuation orders, saying some have had only 15 minutes to flee.
"Get out when we say get out," he said, urging homeowners to not try to fight the fire with garden hoses. "The only thing you cannot replace is you and your family."
The roughly 500 firefighters battling the blaze early Monday braced for a challenging fight as fire weather conditions are expected to worsen through the day. Pre-dawn, embers were being cast a mile ahead of the body of the fire amid moderate winds. Thick smoke was visible across the Los Angeles Basin.
Fire officials advised residents outside the mandatory evacuation zone but in the fire area to prepare to leave. UCLA and other areas east of the 405 are not under an evacuation warning.
"It's a dangerous season right now," Terrazas said. "We have not had any significant rainfall for a period of time. That's why we're very concerned about these weather conditions."
It was still dark on Tigertail Road when firefighters used hoses to douse hot spots smoldering near homes, sending rivers of water running down the street. A resident stood in his driveway in his bare feet, as his wife spoke to the police about where to evacuate.
Firetrucks lined the street, smoke choked the air and ash rained down as residents hurried to pack valuables into their cars. A woman pointed at a charred home on the street.
"That's my neighbor's house," she said.
A few miles away, firefighters remained stationed on Cloud Lane just off Kenter Avenue, keeping close watch as the fire burned from Tigertail Road down a hillside toward other homes. Hand crews used chain saws, pickaxes and shovels to create a containment line they hoped would slow the fire.

Around 5 a.m., winds at nearby Franklin Canyon Park east of the Sepulveda Pass were 10 mph, with gusts of up to 17 mph and a relative humidity of 23%, which is relatively dry. As the morning wears on, sustained winds from the northeast to the southwest could increase to 20-30 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. It's possible gusts could get up to 45 mph before they lessen in the early afternoon, National Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Phillips said.
Even worse, minimum relative humidity could fall into the single digits, perhaps as low as 5%. Temperatures in the area Monday are expected to top out in the upper 70s.
"As we heat up, we're not going to get any more moisture in the area," Phillips said. "The winds are still going to be strong through the morning hours."
The fire was threatening some of Los Angeles' most affluent neighborhoods. Among those evacuated was former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lakers star LeBron James, who said on Twitter: "Had to emergency evacuate my house and I've been driving around with my family trying to get rooms. No luck so far!"
Authorities drove through neighborhood streets with flashing lights ordering residents to leave.
Ray Vafa, 59, stood on his driveway along Kenter Avenue in the dark, where the mandatory evacuation had left the neighborhood empty. Across the street, smiling pumpkin and ghost decorations were still sitting on a front lawn. Strong winds tore through ghosts strung up in trees.
"I'm just waiting it out," he said. His wife and their poodle, Charlie Brown, had left earlier in the morning after they received the alerts. Vafa wasn't too worried when the first notification arrived. After all, it had been raining he night before, he said.
"The second alert — it really alerted us," he said.
In the 20 years they've lived in their home, they've never been under a mandatory evacuation order.
Farther down the street, a man who declined to give his name watched firetrucks lining Sunset Boulevard. The Brentwood resident was on the phone, trying to figure out whether he should leave. He has two cars and wouldn't be able to drive them both.
"I have to figure out what I'm going to do with my Ferrari," the 47-year-old man said.
Mount St. Mary's University was surrounded by flames early Monday, and a campus spokeswoman said all 450 students have been safely evacuated to the school's Doheny campus near downtown.
Diana Rodriguez, a second-year business major at the university, was studying for her Principles of Management class when the lights flicked out for about a minute at 1:30 a.m. Five minutes later, she smelled smoke. But she had smelled smoke last week, drifting south from the Tick fire in Santa Clarita. She figured whatever fire was burning now was similarly far away.
Then, around 2:30 a.m., resident assistants banged on the door of Rodriguez's dorm. Everyone needed to gather their things and evacuate, they said.
Rodriguez grabbed her laptop, phone, camera and chargers, stuffed her backpack with snacks and water, and left her dorm in pajamas. The sky was blood red.
"Really, really red and orange — pretty, but a little freaky too," she recalled.
Ash floated in the air. Her eyes stung from the smoke.

They put on masks and followed a road down the mountainside. Some students griped about having to evacuate while others were laughing "either because they didn't know what was happening or as a coping mechanism," Rodriguez said.
The students were picked up about halfway down the mountainside by ambulances, which ferried some to the school's Doheny campus and others, like Rodriguez, to an evacuation center in Westwood.
Helicopters and aircraft were making night drops along the fire line in a fight to protect homes. Fixed-wing aircraft began making retardant drops shortly after sunrise. The cause of the blaze is not yet known, fire officials said, but Garcetti said it was not caused by homeless camp fires.
Rhonda Taylor got back to her Palisades home around 1 a.m. Monday and was getting ready for bed when she saw images of a fire on TV. Taylor assumed it was burning somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, and even if it was closer, she reasoned, the blaze that broke out in the Palisades last week hadn't prompted an evacuation of her neighborhood.
She fell asleep, but awoke around 3 a.m. to her phone ringing. Her throat was parched and her head hurt. She answered an L.A. County phone alert, telling her she needed to leave.
Although she already had what she calls her "apocalypse bag" in the car, Taylor was so nervous she grabbed extra toiletries, toothbrushes, clothes and water. She put her Pomeranian, Bu, in his carrier, grabbed a 36-by-24-inch painting of her two children and swaddled it in pillowcases and loaded up her car.
As she drove to an evacuation center in Westwood, through smoke so thick it was like a deep fog descending on her neighborhood, Taylor cried, thinking of all the things she hadn't had the time or the space in her car to gather up in the night.
Taylor said she's grown weary of the lingering fear of fire, the possibility that she will need to get up at a moment's notice and leave her home behind, the worry that sets in when her gas tank hits half-full.
Taylor loves her house and the views it commands of the ocean. But she wonders if it is worth living, as she puts it, "on the edge of fear."
The speed of the fire — whipped by strong Santa Ana winds — took many by surprise as they rushed to evacuate. As the flames licked closer, some were reminded of the Skirball fire, which tore through the region in 2017.
Chad Elbert, 43, FaceTimed his wife from Mulholland and Walt Disney drives, where he had pulled over to get a look at the fire early Monday. The couple live a mile up the road and had woken up to the emergency alerts on their phones before 3 a.m.
They couldn't smell smoke from where they lived and wondered whether they'd end up being evacuated.
"It's a risk you take living out here," Elbert said.
When the couple first bought their home, the Skirball fire broke out four days later. Although they didn't evacuate, they were packed and ready to go.
In the predawn darkness Monday, Elbert watched the flames from a safe distance.
"It's very surreal," he said. "It's like a scene out of a movie."
Getty fire: Evacuation orders, school and road closures, and shelters
Several area schools will remain closed Wednesday due to fire conditions and evacuations.
Roberta Shintani and her son, Kevin, were woken at 3 a.m. by their roommate, who told them the police had said they needed to go. Two years ago, when flames lashed the hillsides above the 405, Roberta and Kevin had prepared to evacuate but ultimately weren't required to. Not this time.
Roberta gathered clothes and her laptop, Kevin grabbed his guitar and, with their two dachshund mixes, Mowglie and Baloo, they made their way to an evacuation center in Westwood. The streets were choked with cars. Debris whipped through the air.
The sky, which was glowing orange when they woke up, "went from bright to extremely bright in a very short amount of time," Kevin said.
Warnings and evacuation orders for the Getty fire stretch from the 405 Freeway west and north of Sunset Boulevard.
Evacuation centers have been opened at the Westwood Recreation Center at 1350 S. Sepulveda Blvd., the Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks Recreation Center at 14201 Huston St., the Stoner Recreation Center at 1835 Stoner Ave. and the Palisades Recreation Center at 851 Alma Real Drive.
The fire has caused a traffic nightmare on the 405 Freeway, one of the Southland's main arteries. Shortly before 9 a.m., the California Highway Patrol announced the southbound lanes of the freeway were closed from the 101 Freeway to Sunset Boulevard.
Some residents, like Sho Akiyama, were concerned about the fire's proximity to the Getty Museum and the treasures it holds.
"I hope they're trying to protect the Getty," he said. "I hope they've got a lot of water on that."
Museum officials wrote on Twitter that the fire is burning north and west of the Getty Center. The museum remains safe, they said, but it will be closed Monday because of the fire.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that the state has secured a fire management assistance grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help ensure the availability of resources to fight the Getty fire. The blaze erupted as firefighters were battling other large fires across the state, including the Tick fire in Santa Clarita and the Kincade fire in Sonoma County.
The Kincade fire exploded overnight from 54,000 acres to more than 66,200 acres and is just 5% contained as firefighters head into the blaze's fifth day. At least 96 structures have been destroyed, including 40 homes. No deaths have been reported.
The battle against the fire came as Pacific Gas & Electric Co. made the unprecedented decision to black out 940,000 residences and businesses, affecting millions of people from Bakersfield to Eureka, in an effort to prevent its electric lines from sparking new fires in hurricane-force gusts.
"California is grateful for the ongoing support as we battle fires up and down the state in extremely severe weather conditions," Newsom said. "I thank our heroic emergency responders and volunteers for their tireless, life-saving work to safeguard communities across the state."

Fish from Wisconsin lake may not be safe to eat
Posted: Jul 8, 2017 8:34 PM CST
(AP) — A new study is raising concerns about the safety of eating fish from a lake in eastern Wisconsin.
Research conducted by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Superior found that small pieces of plastic have skirted the wastewater treatment process and ended up in Lake Winnebago, USA Today Network-Wisconsin reported. The plastic can soak up toxins and are likely being consumed by fish.
Lead researcher Lorena Rios Mendoza said she advises against eating fish from the area, though more research needs to be conducted to determine if it's truly dangerous.
"It's definitely a concern," said Kelly Reyer, outreach coordinator for the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. "It can go through the food chain and potentially harm the ecosystem as well as public health because of people consuming the fish."
Plastics found in the lake include microbeads that are used as exfoliants in scrubs, plastic litter and clothing that can shed into plastic microfibers. Rios Mendoza estimates that about 400 microbeads flow into the lake every day from the Fond du Lac Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The lake is the state's largest inland lake and a source of drinking water for multiple cities. But the filtration process for drinking water is more vigorous and is able to catch particles smaller than microbeads, said Jennifer Sereno, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Natural Resources.
The plastics aren't biodegradable and may stay in the lake forever if no action is taken, Rios Mendoza said. Further research, more public education and reduction of plastic waste by manufacturers and consumers are the next steps that should be taken to address the problem, she said.
The New York Giants have hired Jason Garrett, the Cowboys' former coach, as offensive coordinator

1. There are fewer buyers on the market. This means you can go about your search without worrying that you'll wind up in a bidding war. Less competition means a more relaxed house hunting process.
2. Sellers are more motivated. Due to the lack of buyers on the market over the winter months, sellers will tend to be more flexible in negotiations at this point in the year.
3. Interest rates are on the rise. Though the current interest rate of 5.3% is still historically low, it's part of an ongoing upward trend that is sure to continue into next year. This means now is the perfect time to lock in a favorable rate before they go up any higher.

Buchholz History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Buchholz comes from Prussia, a historic region that originally encompassed the coastal lands of the southeast Baltic, but over time expanded to include much of Poland and the majority of Germany. In pre-medieval times, these Prussians used only one name, but later they were forced by a growing population to adopt hereditary surnames so that they would remain distinct from the many others with the same first name. Local names were often chosen. They originally indicated land ownership, and frequently carried the prefix von, meaning "of" or "from", which is often taken as an indication of aristocratic lineage. Buchholz was a name for some one lived any of the many places so named in the Holy Roman Empire.
Early Origins of the Buchholz family
The surname Buchholz was first found in Prussia, where the name Buchholtz was anciently associated with the tribal conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region. They branched into many houses, and their contributions were sought by many leaders in their search for power.

This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Buchholz research.
Another 64 words (5 lines of text) covering the year 1765 is included under the topic Early Buchholz History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Buchholz Spelling Variations
Many cultural groups lived in the German states in medieval times. Each had its own dialect and traditions, and unique variations of popular names. Low German, which is similar to contemporary Dutch, was spoken in Westphalia. German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound. The recorded spelling variations of Buchholz include Buchholtz, Bucholtz, Bucholts, Buchholz, Buchholts, Buckholtz, Buckholts, Bukkholtz, Bukkholts, Beuchholtz, Beuchholts, Beucholtz, Beucholts, Beuchholz, Beuchholts, Beuckholtz, Beuckholts, Beukkholtz, Beukkholts, Buecholtz, Buecholts, Buechholz, Buechholts, Bueckholtz, Bueckholts, Buekkholtz, Buekkholts, Buckhotz, Buckhout and many more.

Migration of the Buchholz family to the New World and Oceana
The state of Prussia was a great influence on the shape of modern Germany. After the Second World War, Prussia's land was divided among the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany and the state was abolished. Some Prussians remained in those countries after the war, while many others migrated to North America in search of a new start. Philadelphia was their primary point of entry to the United States, after which many of them moved on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. A large number of Prussians also migrated to Ontario and the prairie provinces as United Empire Loyalists. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Buchholzs to arrive in North America, and among them were:

Troubled German car maker Volkswagen is seeking to put some road between it and the emissions scandal which has dogged it in recent months by setting out its stall as a leader in green transport.
In a significant repositioning the car giant will reduce its reliance on the diesel engines which have caused it so much bother to focus on 30 all-electric models in a mammoth investment drive costing tens of billions of euros.
Company bosses hope that the environmentally sound models will account for as much as a quarter of its annual sales by 2025, giving it a much needed growth platform as its sales slip behind European rivals.
Outlining the changed strategy Volkswagen chief executive Matthias Mueller said the business would now focus on "the most attractive and fastest-growing market segments".
To pay for this overhaul however Volkswagen will initiate a period of company-wide savings and cost cutting; including streamlining a components business which is currently spread across 26 plants.

La Angostura de Paine, conocida simplemente como Angostura, es una localidad chilena ubicada en el límite de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago y la Región de O'Higgins, entre las comunas de Paine por el Norte y Mostazal por el Sur.

Geografía
Geográficamente, Angostura es un lugar significativo ya que es un paso estrecho entre cordones montañosos pertenecientes a la Cordillera de Los Andes, por el Este, y la Cordillera de la Costa por el Oeste, que en este punto se acercan considerablemente. Esta situación es muy distinta a lo que sucede desde Pelequén (donde también hay una angostura) hacia el Sur, donde la unidad geográfica conocida como Depresión Intermedia adquiere el nombre de Valle Central, que se caracteriza por planicies amplias entre las dos cordilleras.

La Angostura de Paine divide la cuenca de Santiago, donde se ubica la capital del país, el Gran Santiago, de la cuenca de Rancagua, donde se ubica la ciudad de Rancagua, capital de la Región de O'Higgins.

Por la localidad corre el río Angostura.

Historia
El origen del nombre de la localidad se compone por dos términos; Angostura, por ser un paso estrecho entre cordones montañosos, y "de Paine", el que adquirió por el poblado de Paine, que en el tiempo de la Colonia se convirtió en una gran hacienda, que tuvo como propietaria a comienzos del siglo XIX a Paula Jaraquemada. La extensión de esta hacienda llegaba hasta Angostura, quedando ésta bautizada con el complemento "de Paine".

En 1814, José Miguel Carrera propuso establecer la defensa patriota en la Angostura de Paine, con el fin de cuidar la entrada a Santiago del bando realista por el Sur, que ese mismo año ganaría la batalla disputada en Rancagua. La medida fue desestimada por Bernardo O'Higgins, ya que éstos no eran los únicos caminos desde Rancagua a Santiago, debido a que existían los pasos de Chada y Aculeo. De seguir la idea de Carrera, los patriotas pudieron ser atacados por dos frentes.

Durante su paso por Chile, la escritora inglesa Maria Graham pasó por la Angostura de Paine en 1822, relato que plasmó en su libro Diario de mi residencia en Chile en 1822, de 1824.

Transportes

Por la Angostura de Paine pasa la ruta 5 Panamericana, concesionada a la empresa Ruta del Maipo. La ruta se dividía en este punto en dos vías, la que iba en dirección Norte-Sur bordeando el río Angostura, mientras que la que iba en dirección Sur-Norte pasaba por un túnel de 347 metros bajo uno de los cerros del cordón que viene desde la Cordillera de Los Andes. Hoy en día la autopista en ambos sentidos bordea el río y como alternativa se puede usar el túnel en dirección al norte. Este túnel recibe el nombre de Túnel Angostura, fue inaugurado el 17 de septiembre de 1949 y se ubica en el kilómetro 55,2 de la carretera bajo el cerro Challay. Donde se juntaban ambas calzadas (km 57 de la autopista) existió la plaza de peaje troncal también llamada Angostura. Esta plaza de peaje, fue trasladada al sector correspondiente a Águila Sur, tres kilómetros más al norte.

La vía férrea también pasa por Angostura de Paine, conectando las estaciones Hospital con San Francisco del Metrotrén. En un momento, existió la estación Angostura en la zona.

Atractivos turísticos
Algunos de los puntos de interés en la localidad son el Monticello Grand Casino, construido en 2008, y el Country Club Angostura.
Reserva Natural Altos de Cantillana. Dentro del valle Aculeo, luego de Champa, se llega a la Reserva Natural Privada Altos de Cantillana, la cual alberga la biodiversidad típica de la zona. En el kilómetro 20 del camino Champa - Aculeo está su entrada y un museo en el cual se inscriben y cancelan los visitantes.

It was in 2006 that I heard from a remote place called Mohali that there was a likelihood of a new type called the inferred type in the new version of .Net. At the time this term did not cause as much alarm as did something called "Lambda Expressions"! Looking back over the last few years since .Net came in, .Net has kinda stunned you at first sight with new terminology. I remember writing somewhere it is all about new terminology only and there was nothing new actually. I guess I was wrong to some extent and right to some because the need to create new terminology arises from identifying new technology and introducing them in the right manner to a new audience. Like for instance, the LINQ. At first sight, it is not something that you will fall in love with but expanding it to "Language Integrated Query" makes your life suddenly easier.
Lambda Expressions are somewhat similar. Looked at individually, where c=> x==y;, they would seem to be the toughest things doing the rounds but if you progress from the .Net 1.1 version's way of calling methods through delegates to anonymous methods in 2.0, the expressions make a lot of sense for its conciseness.


The airbag shape integrated in the vest absorbs impacts and stabilizes the whole upper body from head to tailbone.
The TURTLE Technology is a breakthrough innovation that significantly improves energy absorption especially of sharp or intruding objects that would otherwise damage the bags of air.
Like in a car, just a simple click! The motorcycle lanyard is robust and practical because standard for all Helite airbag systems: mechanical and mechatronical.
The size of the CO2 cartridge is proportional to the size of the airbag. The cartridge is the only component that needs to be replaced after inflation.
Generous retro-reflective stripes all around the air vest for safety when it's dark out.
High-quality fluo yellow textile especially good for its colour fastness, tear and abrasion perfomances. (over 50.000 cycles by the MARTINDALE test).
The collar is folded so the soft part is in contact with your skin. The collar unfolds when the airbag deploys to maintain the neck and head effectively.
Interior textile 3D mesh for maximum air circulation.
Resistant enough to sustain many inflations. Quick and easy to open and close even with gloves and/or cold hands.
Adjustment straps to fit the Hi-Viz vest nicely over any motorcycle gear.
Very low cut underarm for full freedom of movement.
Can a Helite vest be washed?
Our Hi-viz yellow textile is very high-quality, so the colour is durable. However mosquitoes and grease need to be washed off, to keep a "new" yellow aspect. The airbag vest can be washed by hand without drowning the mechanical part of the system. We recommend that you energetically scrub with a brush in warm soapy water (no detergent, products may alter the fabric). Baby wipes are very effective. Do not rub hard on the retroreflective gray parts.
Washing machine and dryer are prohibited.
What is the difference between the TURTLE and the AIRNEST vest?
The Turtle is a 2015 airbag innovation from Helite. Helite relocated the back protector on top of the airbag versus underneath like the Airnest system is. This creates a "helmet shell" effect and proves to protect the back area much more efficiently, especially small intruding objects. The AIRNEST is the predecessor, easier to wear over a racing-hump it is still the first choice for riders that ride both on the road and on the track.
Are the airbag vests water resistant?
Yes, the airbag is water resistant. It was designed for outdoor use and can be exposed to wet conditions (rain, UV rays).
When sliding after a crash my Hi-Viz airbag vest will not be damaged?
Helite uses very resistant and anti-abrasion material for its vests. The airbag is integrated in the Hi-Viz vest; the textile of the vest will protect the airbag tubes. Additionally, the TURTLE vest has a back protector on top of the airbag, which also protects the airbag and from abrasion in general.
We have hundreds of happy customers that reuse their airbag after they have fallen and slid, whether on the road or on the track. If the airbag does get damaged it will probably have saved you from fractures and/or bruises. HELITE is at your service in case your airbag needs a repair or check.

Northville, MI (Law Firm Newswire) May 10, 2017 – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) responded to a recent critical internal watchdog report by insisting it has made significant progress in fixing long-running problems with its suicide hotline. However, lawmakers and veterans groups say the improvements are not enough.
The VA inspector general released a scathing audit in March that revealed a large number of rollover calls, inadequate data to determine call quality and other issues at the troubled Veterans Crisis Line. As recently as November, around one-third of calls went to voicemail or backup call centers operated by outside contractors instead of going to trained VA staffers.
Within days of the report's release, VA officials claimed all the problems with the 10-year-old hotline have been fixed. The agency pointed to a dramatic turnaround in the number of calls answered since it opened a second center in Atlanta, Georgia, in December. Officials said crisis line responders have answered all but 0.1 percent of incoming calls as of March 25.
Following the report's release, the House Committee on Veterans Affairs held a hearing to discuss concerns about how the VA crisis line is being run. VA Inspector General Michael Missal said the agency has still not addressed 24 pending recommendations for improvements outlined by his office in 2016. They include better training and clear policies for its staff, as well as improved tracking of problems at the hotline.
Steve Young, the VA deputy undersecretary for health for operations and management, claimed the emergency response hotline "is the strongest it has been since its inception in 2007." Additionally, rollover rates have decreased even though the number of weekly calls increased by several thousand between November and March. Young testified that the high number of diverted calls at the end of last year was due to the VA working to open its new Atlanta call center.
When questioned by lawmakers, Young said the agency is planning to boost quality control, hire a new permanent director for the hotline and work towards making the other improvements that were previously promised. He added that the VA intends to implement all the inspector general's recommendations by year-end.

BSNL has awarded a contract worth Rs 1000 Crore to L&T led consortium to set up more than 35000 public WiFi hotspots by March 2018. Cisco systems will install access points for the initiative, while Elitecore will provide the service management platform, which includes data analystics to help the Telco run adverisements from local merchants to generate revenue. The vision of the project is that it will digitally transform the country to allow 1.3 billion indians with affordable Internet access. Now comming to the implementation of project, the installation works are completing and the Hotspots are radiating. The coverage is very poor the signals are not at all available indoor. The wifi Broadband modems available in the market for Rs 1500 to Rs 2000 are reaching even 4 to 5 houses with good qulity connectivity from where it is installed. BSNL spending around Rs 3 Lakh for servicing one hotspot with no indoor coverage for the offices, shops and houses ! Where is the value for money?. If this project is not viewed seriously by the concerned now it will definetly going to be one more CORRDECT or CDMA project from CFA vertical.

Functioning of Bihar telecom Circle at all time low. HR issues are long pending and the circle management has just turned deaf year despite a series of letters and persuasions from NFTE. Many of the TDMs are acting like monarch. since GMs do not listen to CGM so on the same line TDMs do not listen to circle orders, DE/SDE do not listen to SSA head and so down then line whole mechanism has collapsed. God save BihaR..
Bihar Telecom Circle moving from bad to worse.Be it HR, operation, maintenance, marketing, sales, EB... everywhere the condition is pathetic. The action which should have been taken by management will never be completed unless NFTE goes and reminds them time and again. even council meeting are not taking place at regular interval. Market share is at all time low, shameless management remains nonbothered..

large no of subscribers have opted BSNL :State-run BSNL added 8 lakh new mobile subscribers in almost a month's time post the launch of free roaming service for its customers in June this year. "The schemes launched by us are starting to show positive results; particularly with free roaming service a lot of demand has been generated. We closed July with a total of 16 lakh mobile connections. This number was 8 lakh in May. So the subscriber base has doubled post the launch of free roaming in June," BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Srivastava told The Hindu. BSNL has been struggling to keep up with the competition from the private sector. However, efforts are now being made for revival of the company, whose losses stood at Rs.7,020 crore in 2013-14. The losses for first six months of 2014-15 (April-September) were Rs.3,786 crore. He added: "We know one month will not make a difference. But this is a start. If we are able to maintain this steam for next six months, at least till January or February, we will be home. We will be able to at least turn around BSNL's mobile business." He added that in the landline business too, "negativity has almost disappeared. Free night calling scheme is helping. If the trend continues, number of landline connections will turn positive in a month or two." July was also the first month wherein number of subscribers who left BSNL was less than the number of subscribers who joined the operator using mobile number portability (MNP). "July was the first month when BSNL was port-in positive. BSNL's port in-port out ratio for all the years MNP has been is 1:5, which means for every three customers who have left BSNL using MNP, two users joined," he said. In July, the trend reversed in favour of BSNL. While 1.52 lakh subscribers used mobile number portability to switch to BSNL, 1.20 lakh users ported out, leading to net addition of 30,000 users via MNP.
