Quid pro Quo – Subversive Festival, Zagreb (2nd vid)
My third talk in a series of three on capital was at the Subversive Festival in Zagreb. The second talk is here (Translating Capital in Context) and it makes sense to see the second talk first [the first one in Rijeka was not recorded, but was based on my text on Citizen Kane], not least because it will help explain why the conceit in this third talk has Marx relocated to India, which of course he was always deeply interested in, but he never went, only picking up bits of info, and some myths – eg the horror stories of Jagannath etc – from his wide-ranging and varied reading. I think it is justified to deploy Marx to Calcutta, at least in fantasy, though its true not even Engels took his father's advice to go to Calcutta to start in business. The old boys were European bound, but this did not mean they did not seek out the revolution elsewhere.
What also should be mentioned (the parts here are – great job – edited and slightly reordered, and the opening by Bernard missed) is that in this talk I set out to look at three different moments. 1) the arrival of Clive in Calcutta after the 'sham scandal' of the Black Hole in 1756; 2) the first all-India war of Independence, the so-called 'mutiny' 100 years later and; 3) the quid pro quo return of originary capital to the site of the East India Company shipyard in London in present times, under the aegis of the Farrell's development of Convoys' Wharf, Deptford, for Hutchinson Whampoa.
I am slowly writing this out as a long, too long, chapter, so this version is pretty schematic, but you will get the drift of new work. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks also to the crew at Subversive, especially Karolina Hrga, and Bernard Koludrović who was chair.
"Marx writing on India is key to understanding Capital. My argument is that we can make sense of Marx today by examining his theoretical and journalistic work together, each informed by an emergent anthropology, by historical hermeneutics, by a critique of political economy and by attention to a global political contest that mattered more than philosophy. Marx reading history, already against the grain and without being able to make actual alliances, is nevertheless seeking allies in a revolutionary cause. Is it possible to observe Marx coming round to realise, after the shaping experience of the 1848-1852 European uprisings, the possibilities for the many different workers of the world to unite? I consider the sources Marx finds available, what he reads, and how his writing practice parses critical support as habitual politics, and how far subcontinental events, themes and allegories are a presence in the key moves of his masterwork Capital almost as if India were a refocused bromide for Europe, just as slavery is for wages. I will take up four cases – the 'founding' of Calcutta by Job Charnock (disputed); the story of Clive sacking Chandernagore and going on to defeat Suraj-ud-duala at Palashi/Plassey in 1757 in retaliation for the 'Black Hole' (did it exist?); Disraeli verbosely saying nothing about the so-called Indian 'mutiny' 1857 ('the East as a career'); and the question of legalizing Opium in China and the advent of Matheson-Jardine Company after the East India Company comes to an end ('quid pro quo'). All of this brings us back to the realities of global investment and regeneration in Europe today, as international capital returns to the port of London to redevelop the old East India Company shipyards in Deptford."

VC Gherao Kolkata
On the day that I received a copy of my chapter in the book, Television at Large in South Asia (see here) this news from Kolkata seemed highly apposite.
After Jadavpur, Calcutta University students gherao VC
Kolkata: Close on the heels of gherao of the Jadavpur University vice chancellor by students for 51-hours, B-Tech students of a college of Calcutta University on Monday gheroed the varsity's VC and pro-VC alleging that the authorities were not taking any steps for their placement. Calcutta University VC Suranjan Das and Pro-VC (academic) Dhrubajyoti Chatterjee continue to remain gheraoed at the Raja Bazar Science College campus of the university by B-Tech students till late in the night, university sources said. The B-Tech students first gheraoed the principal of the Raja Bazar Science College at 2.30 pm, the sources said.
Hearing the news of the gherao of the principal, Das sent the pro-vc (academic) to talk to the students but they gheraoed him as well. The VC, who reached the campus around 7 pm, was gheraoed too and gates were locked from outside. "Gherao is a democratic right. But this locking of door and gates from outside is not acceptable because if there is fire of any such incident then there may be serious loss," the VC said over the phone from inside the college. The VC said "that there is a placement cell in the Raja Bazar Science College. However, there is no placement officer at present but a professor of the college is officiating additionally as the placement officer." "If companies reject the candidates (send for placement) then why should the college authorities be blamed," he added. The gherao of the VC, pro-VC (academic) and principal of the college was still continuing till 11 pm, the sources said. On September 20, engineering students of Jadavpur University lifted their 51-hour gherao of the vice- chancellor, pro vice-chancellor and registrar, demanding the revocation of the suspensions of two fourth-year students on ragging charges.

Black Hole Fantasy Again
I'm perversely pleased to see this old chestnut can never die. 'Sham scandal' Marx called it. Holwell was writing two years afterwards, and in the wake of Clive's retaliatory massacre of Suraj-ud-daulah at Plassey. I will refrain from some sort of pun on the name Holwell, but notice that embedded journalists are not exactly a new fold in the fabric of imperialism. But for my take on Plassey, and the quotes from Marx, see here.
The Hindu of course does not go so far as to do more than hint at 'disputed veracity'.
A survivor's account of Calcutta's Black Hole
Bangalorean has the article from 'The Scots Magazine'
A rare copy of an 18th century publication that contains a first-person account of the imprisonment of British men, women and children in the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta (now Kolkata) is now in the possession of a Bangalore-based document collector. The Scots Magazine contains an account of the episode by one of its few survivors, J.Z. Holwell.
The February 1758 edition of The Scots Magazine carried a 10-page article titled 'Holwell's account of the sufferings in the Black Hole', which recalled the events at a dungeon in Fort William on the night of June 20, 1756, following the defeat of the East India Company by the forces of Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal. Holwell, in his account, claimed that 123 of the 146 prisoners put in a crammed dungeon died. But, later, historians have disputed the veracity of his account.
"There are only four known copies of the February 1758 edition in the world," collector Sunil Baboo, told The Hindu. "It cost me a fortune," he said, unwilling to reveal the amount.
What is in Mr. Baboo's collection is the 10-page portion of the magazine that is in good condition. "While two are in the U.K., the other is in the U.S. These three are fully bound in leather-and-marble covers," he said.
This document collector recently got the part of the magazine from a U.S.-based collector.
"It took a little while to get the copy from him as I had to convince the collector to part with this little piece of history," he said.
The dungeon, according to Holwell, was a cube of about 18 ft (324 sq. ft) with only two windows in which 146 prisoners were crammed. He recounted the travails of the prisoners in the extremely hot conditions and no fresh air, which left them exhausted and extremely thirsty. He wrote of their attempts to bribe the guards to help them and their efforts to break open the door, all of which came to nought. Finally, a few survivors were brought out of the dungeon on the orders of Siraj-ud-Daulah.
However, while publishing the entire account of Holwell — a letter written to his friend William Davis on February 28, 1757 on board a vessel while returning from East Indies (India) — The Scots Magazine also cautioned its readers about the account being a "little passionate in some places" and in others "somewhat diffused".

Immigration themed Op Ed from India that should be noticed.
This Op Ed appeared in The Statesman newspaper in Kolkata, and skewers the madness of Tory immigration/xenophobia/economic jingoism on this boggy Isle. The writer is a staffer on that paper – jolly good to see that the rest of the world notices your crap Cameron. 'Independent ethics advisor' my arse – he is called Sir, which means he's hardly independent, nor ethical. And anyway, as an advisor, his job is to tell Cameron what he can and can't get away with. Not a brake, more an alibi.
The moral netherland
2 June 2012
UK's increasing non-EU visa restrictions and requirements are symptomatic of a country that has not yet found the means or the will to articulate its ever-decreasing position in the world pecking order, writes lara choksey
Of all the things that the Leveson Inquiry into the ethics of British Press has exposed, perhaps one of the most remarkable is that British Prime Minister David Cameron has an ethics advisor. Responding to the possibility of being called up in front of the Inquiry, Mr Cameron said that should any evidence against him suggest the breaking of ministerial codes, he will call in Sir Alex Allan ~ his independent ethics advisor ~ for consultation.
On one level it seems sensible to have someone in or around Downing Street who can determine the ethical dimensions of political quandaries. On another, it is disturbing that the leader of a country that has not ceased promoting itself as a moral leader in the world needs someone else to distinguish between right and wrong.
In terms of the international Press, there are two stories dominating discussions of the UK. The first is the Leveson Inquiry, which started off as a simple matter of investigating the hacking of celebrity phones by itinerant news agencies, and which has now begun to expose the sordid nature of Downing Street's relationship with the Murdochs under the Cameron, Brown and Blair leaderships.
This in itself is nothing new; anyone who has watched an episode of Yes, Minister! would expect nothing more. But when placed parallel to the second story circulating across the globe ~ that of implemented and threatened restrictions on UK visas for those who do not meet specific economic requirements ~ the hypocrisy and shortsightedness at Westminster's rotten core becomes ever clearer.
There are two issues at stake here. The first concerns Downing Street's idea of Britain as a moral leader in global politics. The second concerns Downing Street's idea of what constitutes Britain's nationhood. The discursive frame through which Mr Cameron and his ministers frame Britain domestically and internationally reveals a central administration willfully ignoring the economic and cultural heterogeneity of the population under its control, as well as the hypocrisy of its justifying its actions to the rest of the world on the grounds of moral superiority.
Above any other nation ~ in terms of pure numbers ~ India is the country likely to be most affected by the UK's increasing non-EU visa restrictions and requirements. According to the International Passenger Survey, Indian nationals made up the largest percentage (11.9 per cent) of immigrants granted entry to the UK in 2010-11. Of these Indian nationals, a large number entered the UK on student visas. Those entering in 2010 would have been granted a two-year post-study work visa.
Fast forward a year, and there has been more than a 30 per cent drop in the number of Indian nationals applying for student visas, with many choosing the United States, Australia and Canada as alternatives. This is partly because the post-study work visa was scrapped this April, and partly ~ according to some British university professors ~ due to the increasing hostility and suspicion shown by the UK border agency towards non-EU students, particularly those from South Asia. This observation is compounded by the fact that the total number of student visas granted by the UK to non-EU residents dropped by 62 per cent in the first quarter of 2012.
We could easily leap to charges of xenophobia, and speculate about a small island closing its borders as a four-year recession refuses to budge. The residual prejudices of post-9/11 homeland security become an increasingly convenient justification for reinforcing national borders. Yet, this logic ignores the pre-Olympic pro-investment road show that various British foreign diplomats have been charged with promoting in their respective countries over the last 12 months, encouraging non-EU businesses to invest in the UK.
In February, the UK immigration minister Mr Damien Green announced that from 2016, people not from the EU and not earning at least £35,000 will not be able to apply to be a permanent resident in the UK. The message is clear: the UK welcomes big business and high salaries, regardless of ideology or investment ethics. Diversity is embraced, as long as it comes with a thick cheque book. In return, multinational companies benefit from tax evasion and low borrowing costs on international financial markets. It is undeniably ~ at least for the moment ~ a mutually beneficial arrangement. Prosaic questions of ethics are put out of the window ~ Britain is in a recession, and dog will eat dog.
Why does this matter to India? Apart from the fact that Britain is still considered to be a desirable place to visit, study and live (although this view is undoubtedly changing), this matters because Britain is behind the times. Specifically in the context of India's increasing importance on the world stage ~ both economically and diplomatically ~ Britain's restrictions on non-EU immigration seem ridiculous. Such restrictions are symptomatic of a country that has not yet found the means or the will to articulate its ever-decreasing position in the world pecking order.
For the sake of argument, let us just speculate that Britain once had a right to claim moral superiority over other nations (we need not go very far back in history to look at the violence of such a claim). But as the Cameron government decimates the welfare structures that might have once allowed Britain to claim a certain moral superiority with regard to providing the infrastructure (if not always the materialisation) of holistic care for its population, the claim becomes increasingly fragile. A national heath service, financial support for people at the bottom of the food chain, and ~ perhaps most pertinently in the context of the visa discussion ~ open borders for economic migrants and political refugees: these are some of the structures that might convincingly constitute the discourse of moral superiority.
Yet, in the last twenty years, these structures have become dirty words in Downing Street, replaced by privatisation, austerity and border security, seemingly in direct spite of the increasing scale of global poverty and warfare: so many people have never been so poor, and genocide has never been simpler. India should take heed: there is a fast-appearing vacancy in the global moral high-ground market that needs prompt filling. In an interview published in The Daily Telegraph on 25 May, 2012, British home secretary Ms Theresa May responded to a question on curbing immigration by saying: "The aim is to create here in Britain a really hostile environment for illegal migration." We might ask, what constitutes an illegal migrant? The term suggests an international law preventing movement between countries. However, while the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights decrees that a country should grant entry to its own citizens, there is no international law that prevents a person from entering a country in the first place.
Immigration laws are national laws, coded by national interests and national understandings of who should be allowed entry. Thus, we learn much about the way in which a country understands itself by the way in which it categorises those who arrive on its shores. In the UK, the terms of 'illegal migration' are clear: it has everything to do with economic status. Those who are not considered fit to make a significant economic contribution to the UK, quite simply, become illegal ~ outside legitimacy ~ and vulnerable to any form of physical or mental subjugation. The right to claim access to Britain is based on purely economic terms: this is the new model of national belonging.
Downing Street has thrown off the mantle of social responsibility, both domestically and internationally. Internationally speaking, its participation in Libya on the grounds of humanitarian intervention is laughable when we consider that there is a British Ambassador ~ Nicholas Ray ~ permanently stationed in Khartoum, Sudan. His purpose is to perform diplomacy with the al Bashir government, an administration currently carrying out ethnic cleansing operations on its borders. Domestically, the British government's claim to provide for its population (as opposed to its citizens) is being made forfeit by the systematic destruction of structures built on the ideas of a common right to life, and the responsibility of government to provide for its population. The Cameron government's policies are regressive to a Dickensian degree, and increasing internal unrest ~ characterised by last year's riots ~ will only be kept at bay by Jubilee morale boosting for so long. With the removal of welfare structures, Downing Street would model Britain as nothing more than a vast, transnational bank, complete with hordes of the hungry standing outside. From an international perspective, this is the only form of diversity Cameron's government is currently interested in promoting.
The writer is on the staff of The Statesman
[10.6.2012 Lara adds: Clarification: I take it for granted that 'morals' are socially-inscribed codes, whereas ethics – broadly speaking – are a means of defending concepts of right and wrong actions. My use of the phrase 'moral superiority' is therefore performative – the description or impression of a national discourse, as opposed to 'ethical behaviour'. A longer piece might make this distinction clearer, but I did not feel it was necessary to point out the ethical importance of, for example, the NHS etc.
To clarify my argument and take it forward: firstly, that Britain's claim to moral superiority is being made forfeit not because it ever had a right to make this claim in the first place, but because the infrastructure supporting this claim (class/gender/race equality and equal opportunities and so on) is being dismantled: the discourse, or performance, can no longer support itself.
Or so it would seem from one perspective. However, taking this forward, I would suggest that if Britain maintains its performance of 'moral superiority' on an international stage, then the discourse (and infrastructure) of 'moral superiority' is now based on codes of economic viability. To be 'moral', in the context of Downing Street's national aspirations, one must be financially solvent. Foreign investors are invited to buy a stake in moral superiority.]

The Nightmare on Donahue DrivePublished 10:01am Wednesday, October 31, 2012
By Andy Graham | Sportz Blitz
Today is what's known as All Hallows Eve,
It's a time to be frightened and have candy received.
I hope everyone enjoys the festivities quite well,
So here's a little story of horror and death knell.
It began on the night of four days past,
When Auburn was slaughtered and it happened so fast.
A worse possible game I could not contrive,
I was there and I witnessed the nightmare on Donahue Drive.
The pregame was rousing with military flair,
I could feel the electricity and my heart began to dare.
It didn't take long to crush my faint hope,
The Aggies scored quickly and I felt like a dope.
The defense will settle down I assured myself,
Three touchdowns later and I was truly bereft.
Who is this quarterback they call Manziel?
He slashed and he dashed and he passed as well.
The Tigers finally scored with delight from the crowd,
But A&M answered quickly and made their fans proud.
The Auburn defense looked helpless to even slow them down,
It was painful to watch and I didn't stick around.
I made it to halftime when the bloodletting ceased,
It was 42-7 and I begged for release.
Half the crowd couldn't stand to see anymore,
I think Chizik's fate was sealed and he'll be shown the door.
This loss was one of historic proportions,
It caused fans like me all manner of angst and contortions.
It boggles the mind to try to make sense,
The Tigers actually gave up 63 points and 671 yards of offense.
I feel sorry for the players who gave it their all,
They shouldn't feel embarrassed and should always stand tall.
One man doesn't deserve all the reproach,
But this is college football and it falls on the head coach.
Auburn will survive to play good football again,
One bad season can't destroy or do them in.
They'll probably be back sooner than you think,
With new faces and ideas all in a blink.
Only time will tell what the future will bring new,
No doubt Tigers are resilient, fearless and true.
My story ends with no attempt to connive,
I was there and I witnessed the nightmare on Donahue Drive.
Graham is a columnist for Sportz Blitz.

The 1903 Schade Brewery was one of several that popped up around the turn of the twentieth century to slake the thirst of working men in Spokane. German immigrant Bernhardt Schade arrived in 1892 and began working for other brewers and dreaming of his own business. His building, with architectural features from his homeland, opened in 1903, even as the temperance movement was growing in influence.

The first edition of 60 MINUTES SPORTS will feature a rare interview with Lionel Messi, the record-breaking soccer player considered by many to be the best of all time. Bob Simon went to Spain to talk to Messi, an Argentine who plays for FC Barcelona, to interview the man who just broke the 40-year-old record for scoring the most goals in a calendar year. Messi is only 25 years old. The profile will be featured on the series premiere of 60 MINUTES SPORTS, a new magazine program from the makers of the iconic CBS News series 60 MINUTES, the originator of the television genre. The monthly, one-hour 60 MINUTES SPORTS premieres on Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT on SHOWTIME and represents the first time original 60 MINUTES content will air on premium television.
Messi was already being compared to soccer legends like Pele and Diego Maradona and last Sunday scored his 86th goal of 2012 to break the record set by Germany's Gerd Muller in 1972. Messi tells Simon he's hungry for goals and, given his appetite, more records should fall. "I always want more. Whether it's a goal or winning in a game, I am never satisfied... I always push my limits. And I always try to get better every day," says Messi, who has years ahead of him in an already historic career.
Also on the 60 MINUTES SPORTS premiere will be a Scott Pelley report that looks inside the case against Lance Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Service Cycling Team that led to the stripping of the cyclist's seven Tour de France wins.
A third story will be announced closer to the broadcast, which will also feature Lara Logan's update of her 60 MINUTES story on free solo climber Alex Honnold, who climbs rock walls using only his hands and feet.
60 MINUTES SPORTS expands SHOWTIME Sports' existing lineup of award-winning original programming, which includes INSIDE THE NFL, ALL ACCESS, THE FRANCHISE and live event series SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and ShoBox: The New Generation.
60 MINUTES OF SPORTS is co-executive produced by CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager and 60 MINUTES Executive Editor Bill Owens and SHOWTIME Sports.

How does an ERISA claimant start an administrative appeal?
Can a mere request for medical records, and a reference to an "appeal in the future tense," trigger the appeal? No.
Here's the case of Reindl v. Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Co., –F.3d __, 2013 WL 425356 ( 8th Cir. February 5, 2013) [PDF].
FACTS. Reindl participated in an ERISA governed employee benefit plan and sought and obtained disability benefits. Hartford later reassessed her claim and discontinued benefits. On November 25, 2008, Hartford sent a letter informing Reindl she had 180 days to file an administrative appeal. On December 12, 2008, Reindl's lawyer sent a letter requesting medical records and stating: "We will be reviewing the records and obtaining additional medical information for my client's appeal of the decision to terminate [benefits]." On July 8, 2009 Reindl's attorney expressed disagreement with the benefits termination decision and stated: "I would appreciate your reversal of the decision to terminate [Reindl's benefit claim]."
ISSUE: Whether a request for medical records, and a reference to an appeal sometime in the future constitute an "appeal."
TRIAL COURT HELD: Plaintiff had failed to file a timely appeal.

With the Ravens sitting at 4-1 after their toughest five-game stretch of the season and two one-win teams next on their schedule, the question I'm getting the most these days is "What concerns you most about this team?" The popular answers are the banged-up secondary, the young and relatively unproven receiving corps behind Anquan Boldin or just all the injuries in general. And of course, some people are always going to say Joe Flacco until he leads the Ravens to the Super Bowl. But my answer – and it isn't particularly close – is the pass protection. Without a veteran backup quarterback on the roster, the Ravens simply can't afford Flacco to take the beating that he took last Sunday. And that's not even mentioning the obvious that Flacco is a completely different quarterback when he doesn't have a defender in his face every play.
Kudos to Ravens coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron for giving fullback Vonta Leach two carries near the goal line Sunday against the Houston Texans, his former team. They were just Leach's fourth and fifth carries of his eight-year career and his first in a span of 38 games. Leach didn't get in the end zone, but that's the kind of coaching gesture that makes an impression on the players. Everybody knew how much Leach wanted to punish his old team, which he felt didn't make his re-signing enough of a priority. Leach is the ultimate team guy who never asks for anything but for his teammates to play with the same passion that he does. To give him two shots at a touchdown – his first carry went for five yards - was a really nice touch.
The NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported last week that Ravens Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta is among the executives the Oakland Raiders are considering to fill their GM vacancy. DeCosta doesn't comment publicly on his career plans and I certainly won't speak for him. But the sense around the organization is that DeCosta, who has turned down several interview opportunities in the past, is the GM-in-waiting for when Ozzie Newsome retires. DeCosta is also an East Coast guy with a young family, so I'd imagine it would take an unbelievable opportunity for him to leave Baltimore.

Before Verizon came into Mohave County the service was very limited. Now everything is great! The first thing I did was get a local phone number. I still only use a basic phone as that is all I need, but if I wanted to upgrade I would be able to and have full services on the 4G network.Was this review helpful to you?
verizon store in kingman sold my wife the latest fancy phones that two old retirees do not need. they convinced her they were the best there is and now tell her that for us to dump Verizon we have to cell these damn phones to someone ourselves, based on the way they keep screwing up our biliing and the issue with fancy phones that we don't want or need, we will be paying about $2k for this crap a yr. can't find any one at Verixon to physically talk to, Obama must be running this company... .Was this review helpful to you?
Excellent service every once and a while it will give me issues but when I go into the store they get me taken care and explain what is going on. I have noticed the service has gotten better in the past few monthsWas this review helpful to you?
I have Verizon and I was all over Kingman, at the Harley Dealer, Tire store, Golden Corral, and I could not make any calls. I kept getting a message from Mojave Wireless saying to reenter the 10 digit number. I must have tried to make 20 calls in Kingman. If I were to break down there I would be screwed because I had absolutely no way to make a call. This needs to be fixed.Was this review helpful to you?
Verizon services are significantly decreased here on the Extended Network. Of course, I pay full price as per my contract. Cannot upgrade or reprogram my phone unless I drive at least to Laughlin, NV. Verizon refused to give me a local number, even though Golden Valley was listed as a number option; my number is a Phoenix number.Was this review helpful to you?
Keep losing network can't call out. Mohave Wireless blocks calls. Can't upgrade phone unless drive to Laughlin NVWas this review helpful to you?
I, too, wish Verizon were here. Phone, text, pictures okay. This model phone has a strong antenna. Still, can't connect to any extras because of extended network. Also, Mohave Wireless won't let me get a local (Kingman, Golden Valley) phone number thru VZW. :(Was this review helpful to you?
No Verizon network, extended network via Mohave Wireless. Picture messages very slow, if at all. Calls are ok, sometimes phone re-boots because of the weak network. Wish Verizon would come in to the Kingman area or Mohave Wireless upgrade so 3G coverage is available in the greater Kingman area, which it presently is not.Was this review helpful to you?
6 years with Sprint and we're tired of the constant fighting and lousy customer service. Now they tell us they have dropped coverage in our area. Requests for referrals from friends are all negative, especially toward Mohave Wireless. What to do?Was this review helpful to you?
Sketchy at best! Over the past five years living at this location, the service has been a gamble; sometimes okay, other times non-existent. Complaints seem to improve the quality temporarily; NOW it's horrible - seldom able to make / receive calls within our home, and sometimes not even outside. We've received a few refunds along the way and even once offered to end contract. Argh!Was this review helpful to you?
Will work for months without any trouble then the cell phone monster's take over can't even get my message's. And dropped calls is matter of fact! Never more then 2 bars. Somedays I want to just throw the phone! In town it's great. Go Fiqure-Sprint said it's because there is no tower near us we live in a roaming area. I really don't know what to except move???Was this review helpful to you?
VZW has basic service only, via Mohave wireless, once the local wireless carrier upgrades their hardware, feature service will be accessible. For now just txt and phone calls are function. On occasion a picture message if your lucky...Was this review helpful to you?
Verizon has NO service in Mohave county, uses very patchy extended service.Was this review helpful to you?
Spotty because of distance to any cell towers, but Sprint works with low amount of bars, Cell One, ATT, Nextel and Mohave wireless seem to only work on 4 or 5 barsWas this review helpful to you?
Lazy Yu ranch has hit and miss spots. Alltel uses other service for romings. However, they switches services from tower to tower. There is no way to tell which day point your cell phone to what direction.Was this review helpful to you?
I think because we live near a substantial hill, our reception in the house is variable. If we go outside, it gets better.Was this review helpful to you?
Reception is fine all over town, but the second we turn into our driveway, we get nothing. We have different phone models also.Was this review helpful to you?
Cellular One
This is actually a comment on Mohave Wireless. I had cellular one and it was less than mediocre with the dropped calls. Verizon does not work out here. Sprint does not work and Cingular does not work I personnaly tried these phones at this location and have had friends try T mobil and that doesn't work. If you want the broadest range of signal get Mohave Wireless! They own most of the towers. If you want fancy commercials and lousy signal and service get one of the others. There is no comparison.Was this review helpful to you?
I mind as well forget that I have service with this provider once I hit the street I live on. I've had Sprint for 6 years. Have lived in the same home for 2 yrs. Now out of nowhere 6 months ago, I no longer have service at my home. Thier customer service stinks.. I put in a report but they said that since others haven't complained my call drop rate for that area is 1%.. That 1 % should really be coverage... They say they have a tower on beverly.. but I found out they don't.. What they do have is a partner contract on a dobson tower. Haven't found out what thier SID is yet to find out thier priority on that tower but it can't be much. They won't get another dime outta me, and they won't let me outta my contract no matter how many times I complain. I switched to Cingular and have great coverage at my home again.Was this review helpful to you?
Continued great reception here after moving from Phoenix. Although new service isn`t available here, existing customers can roam free on the Mohave Wireless network.Was this review helpful to you?

|A rare Irish George III silver tea caddy with a Chinese finial, dated 1804, made by Richard Sawyer of Dublin. The tea caddy is hallmarked on the interior with the seated Hibernia for Irish sterling silver, the crowned harp for Dublin, the date letter H for 1804, and a makers mark of RS for Richard Sawyer. The underside of the lid is also marked with the seated Hibernia and the crowned harp. This remarkable object is engraved with the coat of arms of the Jephson-Norreys Baronets. Bernard Burkes Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the United Kingdom, published in 1826 has a biography of the family and a picture of this coat of arms. They lived at the Castle Mallow in County Cork, Ireland. Unfortunately the Baronetcy is extinct. The caddy is in excellent condition with no repairs. The tea caddy was formerly part of the collection of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and was de-accessioned at auction.

This fragrance-free serum from Clinique makes some intriguing claims, but before we get to those, it's worth pointing out that the formula isn't as unique or customized as it seems. It mostly contains crossover ingredients from Clinique's Repairwear Laser Focus serum and their Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector, with the latter being the most similar to Smart Custom Repair Serum. Despite the overlapping formulas, Clinique Smart makes some claims that the other two Clinique products do not. But let's see if it's really a smarter option!
The big claim (and one we're highly skeptical of) is that this serum can somehow "sense" where your skin needs repair and where it doesn't. It's supposed to be able to identify and then respond to the differing "signals" skin sends when, for example, it's tone is uneven, dark spots are present, and loss of elasticity has occurred. Clinique maintains these signals differ depending on the state of one's skin, hence their claim that this serum provides customized repair.
Here's how it's supposed to work: You apply this serum and once it senses where the trouble spots are, it releases repairing ingredients to improve the concern, and where no damage is detected, it moves on. Consider that the face is a small area, so how would ingredients, such as the emollients this contains, only be able to spread over certain areas? How would any of the plant extracts or the salicylic acid this contains know to go to one area of damaged skin cells but not another? The science isn't there, but even if it was possible then all of the other Clinique products that contain these same ingredients (and there are several) would do the same thing.
As with any well-formulated serum (or moisturizer) this contains barrier-repairing ingredients that can, to some extent, reduce signs of sun damage. Barrier-repairing ingredients are an important part of serums and moisturizers because research has shown sun damage impairs skin's barrier, leading to a host of skin problems (Sources: Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, October 2012, pages 75-81; and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, October 2012, pages 17,111-17,116). So, it's "smart" that Clinique included such ingredients in this serum's formula, but they're hardly the only brand using them.
Cell-communicating ingredients such as the peptide this serum contains, are believed to be able to attach to receptor sites on skin cells, where the ingredient can "tell" misbehaving, damaged cells to start making better, healthier cells. Assuming the right "connections" are made, good cellular communication results, and, over time, skin begins to look and act younger—because the cells are now communicating like they did before they became damaged. Keep in mind these ingredients go to all cells with receptor sites for them, not just a select few showing signs of damage. This entire category of ingredients is fascinating and absolutely the future of anti-aging skin care—but, just as with barrier-repair ingredients, Clinique is hardly the only brand capitalizing on it.
Antioxidants play a role, too, and they're plentiful in this serum—though again, the same antioxidants show up in lots of Clinique products, diminishing Smart Custom Repair Serum's must-have status for those already using another good Clinique product. When you apply a product loaded with antioxidants, these ingredients shore up skin's defenses as they reduce inflammation and, in some cases, stimulate healthy collagen production.
One cause for concern is that this serum contains a higher-than-usual amount of grapefruit peel extract. Appearing as Citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel extract on the ingredient list, the peel is loaded with a class of ingredients known as furanocoumarins and coumarins which are primarily responsible for what's known as a phototoxic reaction when skin is exposed to the sun—the result can leave skin discolored (Source: Journal of Food and Agriculture, October 2013, pages 10,677–10,684). Suffice to say, this is not the result you want when using a product promising to improve skin tone, as this serum claims! If you opt to use this product, please make sure you're protecting your skin from UV light exposure every day, rain or shine. Forgoing this important step can make the grapefruit peel extract a potential problem that gets in the way of this serum being able to produce good results.
Although this product isn't any smarter than other Clinique serums to those on our list of Best Serums, it's an overall good formula for all skin types. It feels light, is very silky, and can double as your foundation primer. The matte-finish formula contains "brightening" mineral pigments for a subtle radiance that softly perks up a dull complexion, a benefit many other serums have, too.
If you're wondering about the salicylic acid this serum contains, the amount seems to be way too low to benefit skin, not to mention this product's pH of 6.1 is far beyond the range salicylic acid needs to function as an exfoliant.
Note: Clinique also sells a 1.7-ounce size of this serum for $89 and a 3.4-ounce size for $154.

Clinique At-A-Glance
Strengths: One of the best selections of state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums loaded with ingredients that research has shown are of great benefit to skin; excellent sunscreens; several Redness Solutions products excel; an outstanding benzoyl peroxide product; good selection of self-tanning products; some very good cleansers and eye makeup removers; some unique mattifying products; a large and wholly impressive selection of foundations, many with reliable sun protection (and shades for darker skin tones); good concealers; some remarkable mascaras; much-improved eyeshadows; loose powder; blush products; some brilliant lipsticks and lip gloss; gel eyeliner; priced lower than most competing department-store lines.
Weaknesses: The three-step skincare routine, because of the bar soaps and irritant-laden clarifying lotions; jar packaging downgrades several otherwise top-notch moisturizers; incomplete routines for those prone to acne; skin-lightening products with either unproven or insufficient levels of lightening agents.
Estee Lauder-owned Clinique's tremendous success (the company's products are sold in over 13,000 department stores and in 110 countries) reshaped the way cosmetics lines identified themselves, sending the concept of line loyalty out to pasture. Today, cosmetics companies expand their market either by buying already established companies or by creating new ones, and Lauder has been adept at doing both. Of course, cosmetics companies keep this multiple-personality identity hidden from the consumer. If the general buying public realized that these apparently different companies were so intertwined with each other, how could they flaunt their independence and claim that their unparalleled formulations are secret or the best? It's hard to think Lauder (or any company) would, even if they could, keep secrets from one branch separate from the others. And as evidenced by the formulary similarities between brands, they don't!
The niche Clinique built launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does add some fragrant extracts to a few products). Regarding allergy testing, unless you can see the results, what difference does it make if a product makes that claim? What if the test showed 20% of the women who used it had a sensitizing reaction, dryness, or irritation? Would Clinique highlight this, or is it just easier to default to the generic allergy-tested claim and leave such details out, figuring consumers won't ask for more?
Moreover, "hypoallergenic" is a term not regulated by the FDA, so any product can use the word without having to substantiate the claim. "Dermatologist tested" is also bogus, because without published test results the term can easily mean nothing more than that a dermatologist picked up the product, looked at the container, and said "This looks good." And what about the dermatologists on Clinique's payroll? How do we know they're not the ones involved in testing, rather than sending the products out for independent, impartial evaluation (though how impartial can any study be that's paid for by the company making the product)?
Clinique declined any participation for this site, which included refusing to send us copies of the allergy studies they maintain have been performed for every product they sell. We find their unwillingness to help odd because, for the most part, we genuinely like most of their products. In fact, more than any other department-store line except Estee Lauder, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums, plus some formidable makeup. They also have their act together for sunscreens and have expanded their decades-old three-step skin-care routine to include water-soluble cleansers instead of bar soap. They also now have a second "Dramatically Different" moisturizer that's well-suited for those with normal to oily skin and FINALLY reformulated their longstanding water-and-wax yellow lotion.
The Clinique consultants, dressed in medical-looking white lab coats (Clinique's image in that sense was ahead of the times given today's plethora of doctor-designed skin-care lines), do their best to speak intelligently about skin-care routines, but for the most part they're trained to sell the products rather than to provide information about what substantiated research has shown about the skin's needs to look and feel its best.
The good news for you is that the chemists behind Clinique's arsenal of products have been keeping up on this exciting information, and formulating superior products in response. We wouldn't blindly and solely bank on Clinique as your skin-care solution, but more than ever what they offer is, despite some far-out claims and problematic products, what epitomizes advanced skin care for all ages. Shop carefully and you'll leave confident that you are purchasing products with solid science, not just marketing hype, behind them.
Turning to makeup, Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially in their huge and imposing selection of foundations, many of which feature effective sunscreens. In fact, this category has become the most compelling reason to shop Clinique's makeup collection. Without a doubt the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color. The shade selection has improved considerably, with more neutrals and a broader range than ever before. You still need to use caution and watch out for peach-toned duds, but for the most part finding a natural-looking match shouldn't be a frustrating experience, and the counter personnel are happy to provide samples.
Although the foundation and powder shades take darker skin tones into account, the blush, eye pencil, and most of the lipstick shades do not. Perhaps that will change in the future, as Clinique beautifully updated their eyeshadow collection with ultra-smooth textures and deeper colors that show up on darker skin.
Compliments are also due for Clinique's updated makeup tester units. They are well-organized, labeled with product name and price, and easily accessible without a salesperson's help. And speaking of salespeople, most of the Clinique consultants we encounter go above and beyond to provide assistance and to answer any questions we had (even if we didn't always agree with their responses). Those white lab coats don't mean medical expertise, but we'll take outstanding customer service over pseudoscience any day!
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.

It smells like bubblegum, but so far non-irritating. I only use at night to avoid possible phototoxicity.
Is the review rating affected at all by the ratings in user comments (an average?) I hope not. People seem to be giving one star ratings just because they can't find free samples, or pronounce the ingredients. I hope personal problems don't affect the rating as seen next to the picture.
Hi there! You are correct - the rating given at the top of the review (near the photo/name) is from the Beautypedia Team and is completely independent of the reader/user reviews at the very bottom :)
this made my skin oily. and i normally have dry skin. i dont see how this product works
Great! Didn't break me out! Smoothing, worked well
I tried several stores ALL who stated they were out of the 20 day trial. I was very upset because this was the second time I tried to obtain samples to be told they were out. I spend a good amount of money on skin care (esp as my wrinkles increase with age 46) any suggestions?
Thank you
I find that the Mary Kay Timewise Repair products are FAR SUPERIOR to Clinique's Smart Repair - also, when you compare the ingredient list, Mary Kay has far more PLANT product vs chemicals no one can pronounce...just sayin'
I started using this product in June when I visited my Clinique counter and it was recommended to me because I used both even better serum and RWLF serum. I loved my routine and didn't want to change. After 3 weeks of using smart serum I noticed my skin was more radiant and bouncy. At 6 weeks everyone started complimenting on how smooth and pretty my skin looked. I NEVER want to be with out this serum and I will always have a spare bottle in my cabinet! Amazing!!!
This serum worked just ok on my 50-something, combo-to-oily skin. Problem is, it ran out in only 2 months, using one pump twice daily. If you used as much as Clinique wants you to, it would only last a month! The packaging doesn't give you any way to see how much is left, and I suspect that's on purpose. Clinique's still my favorite line; I'll probably go back to Laser Focus.
I was offered a sample when this product 1st came out and had no desire to try until now. There was absolutely no irritation with this product. But the 2 products 1 put on afterwards made me on the verge of tears. I need to make a change. That's how sensitive my skin can get. That's a compliment to Clinique and this product.
I don't trust grapefruit, I'll never put it on my skin ever again. Cosmetics companies have a lot to learn about improving their products.

No Audio/Sound occasionally on iPad since iOS 6 update
I use my iPad 3 with an alarm clock app to wake me up every morning. I put it on the dock, set the alarm, and go to sleep. Half the time since I've updated to iOS6, the alarm is going off, but no sound is coming out.
I've noticed this happen when I pick it up off the dock once in a while and want to watch a video... no sound. So it's not just the alarm clock app. It's like the whole audio software system is dead.
When this happens, I need to restart the iPad to get sound back but the audio will stop working at some random time later, making my iPad useless as an alarm clock.
It worked flawlessly before iOS6.
WTF! Anyone else having this issue?
I've got just about every product there is and a bunch of Canon DSLR gear that feeds my passion for tech, travel, and photography.
|Nov 7, 2012, 07:04 PM
I had this happen with my iPhone 5. I only had it happen on one evening and through limited testing I was thinking it had to do with the use of max volume. It was within the first couple of weekends of launch and we were at my son's high school soccer game, but we wanted to keep up with the Reds baseball game. I fired up the MLB app and cranked the volume to max so that others around me could hear it.
That's when the sound cut out. From that point, no matter how I set the volume I had no sound. I could kill an app and on restart it would play for an instant and then cut out again. The only way to really get sound back was to have the volume lower and then reboot the phone. I've not needed max volume since and never felt the need to test the theory again for fear that I couldn't get it back to normal again.

When we heard a collab between Polar and Converse was in the works, we knew it'd be epic. Converse is the perfect example of clean aesthetics and has thrived off the classics since it's inception. Mix this with Polar's great graphics and you're lookin' at a five star collab. The Cons x Polar kicks will be online Saturday., October 4th.
Pontus Alv's Manhattan Days for Converse Cons
Pontus Alv has released his new video, Manhattan Days in celebration of the Converse Cons x Polar Skate Co. collaboration shoe, coming soon to Skate Warehouse. Manhattan Days features the likes of both Polar and Cons riders including Aaron Herrington, Kevin Rodrigues, David Stenström, Jerome Campbell, Dane Brady and Pontus. The video is said to draw inspiration from early days of skating all over town while lugging around shit to skate and letting the day unfold around you. Pure and simple stuff.
Crispy New New | Helena's Complete Skateboard
Now this is one seriously crispy setup. Rockin' a Polar deck, Independent Trucks and Spitfire Wheels, Helena did a killer job picking out some of my personal favorites. Finish it off with Andalé Bearings, Bro Style Grip and Diamond Hardware and you have this week's Crispy New New!

I used a Canonet 28 (bought cheaply without a manual) in 1990's with a SR44 battery and soon discovered serious under exposure. Well - I thought - the meter has seen better days and compensated using a setting "ASA 25" for ASA 400 film if my memory serves me right. Worked well enough for negative films.
So this puzzle is settled then. The thing might still work properly - there was nothing wrong with the picture quality.

Lotus Pond
Musings on life and death
My friend's 4-year-old daughter has leukemia. Despite limited understanding of medical technicalities, she coped with her illness. She was initially terrified of nurses and doctors, but realized that they were trying to help her, and got braver!
Her parents explained to her the meaning of life and the reality of death. They told her that, while her body was temporary, the soul inside her will live forever. So, she shouldn't fear death.
A patient learns many truths: We can't control time, the laws of karma, and death. We have to eat healthy, accept pain as it comes, and focus on God's love.
Our friend's daughter went through chemotherapy, and her cancer is in remission. She's happy and at peace. She's unlike the 4-year-old boy we saw at a supermarket, telling his grandpa to buy him a toy truck. He was throwing a tantrum, and his grandpa didn't know how to deal with him!
Children need to learn important lessons in life. It's never too early to teach them wisdom. Let's not make them ignorant by thinking that they wouldn't understand!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This queen sized bed (and double sofa bed) apartment faces onto the old market square of the historic centre. It is comprised of an extremely spacious living and sleeping area with a very rare all-wooden ceiling and a luxuriously appointed bathroom.
cable TV/ DVD player
free WIFI (wireless) internet
Nespresso coffee machine
high pressure over-sized shower
washing machine
iron and ironing board
access to a drying machine
high-quality cotton sheets and fluffy towels
Apartment II sleeps maximum 4 people and is a non-smoking apartment.
The flat is on the 4th floor of a historic building from 1374, no elevator.
It is situated just a couple of minutes walk from Mozart's birthplace in the pedestrian area of Salzburg's Old Town. All the famous coffee houses and restaurants, together with the best shops and boutiques are right on your doorstep.
It was completely renovated in 2011 allowing for a 21st century lifestyle in a 14th century house.
This apartment was perfect! The building was very historic (I think built in the 1300's?) so we really enjoyed that aspect of it. The inside of the apartment itself is VERY modern and clean and spacious. Quiet. Right smack-dab in the middle of town. Can't beat this location! I would definitely stay here again. I am VERY pleased with our stay and the attentiveness of the owners. One thing I could see older people or people who are unhealthy will have a problem with: the stairs. Getting up to the apartment is going to require the ability to go up lots of stairs. BUT the stairs are very safe and wide. Michael, the owner's son, met us and carried our luggage up the stairs for us, so that will not be a problem for you if you are concerned. I am very in shape as a runner, so the stairs were not a problem at all for me. Nor for my husband (who is not a runnner).
Tip: if you want to use the nespresso machine, bring your own pods.
My husband and I stayed in apartment II for four nights. It was perfect in every way! Located right near Mozartplatz, it was convenient to old town Salzburg. We enjoyed the open markets, strolling in old town and the ease of using the public transport in Salzburg to go to sites across the river and out of town. Gabi and Igor were so helpful and accommodating. Gabi met us at the apartment and gave us some ideas of what to do and see during our visit. The apartment itself is very nicely appointed, with every amenity you would want. This was the most comfortable place we stayed in during our three weeks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. I highly recommend this apartment and working with Gabi!
The apartment is exactly as shown, really beautifully renovated & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the heatwave conditions. We feel much fitter after numerous trips up stairs (all 80 of them). If you arrive by car as we did your sat nav will not take you to the apartment as it is in a pedestrian/restricted access zone after 11.00
I just loved this place. It is on the 4th floor and you have to walk up some medieval stairs but it is worth it. Property is just as described. The apartment has been very nicely renovated and was clean and well-maintained. I arrived early and my phone was dead, so I had to borrow a phone from another tenant to contact the manager, but he responded promptly and I was able to get into the apartment without significant delay. I love the location. Great little restaurant just half a block away; street vendor in the evening with wonderful wursts. Plenty of shopping, bakeries and cafes within easy walk. Nice grocery in the Mozart house just a couple of blocks. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay there again.
We had a really good stay at this apartment for 3 day.
Great location! The apartment is right in the centre of everything.
Staying in Salzburg has been the best stay in Europe so far.
The owner is very kind and thank you!
We have just had our first visit to Salzburg and cant wait to go again.
Gabi and her housekeeper Igor were very nice people and made us feel so welcome, As for the apartment it was perfect and had everything
we needed and you could not find a better location everything is at your doorstep. I cannot find a fault with the apartments and we will definetly
stay there again.
In the very centre of Salzburg
!!! You cannot beat this location !!!
This property is just around the corner from 'Getreidegasse', the main pedestrian street in the centre of the old town of Salzburg and the old market square. It is located on a quiet side street.
You can walk to the fortress, the cathedral, Residence fountain, the tourist information on Mozart square ,Mozart's birthplace or some of the locations from the film 'Sound of Music') in less than 5 minutes.
You will also find lots of the very famous cafés (Tomaselli, the oldest one in town from 1703), pastry shops (such as Fürst, the inventor of the Mozartkugel), restaurants, bars and boutiques in the very close neighbourhood.

NPL 'selfie' one of Physics World's pictures of 2013
Physics World, the member magazine of the Institute of Physics, has chosen a 'selfie' taken by NPL scientist Michael de Podesta to be one of its 'pictures of 2013'. 'Selfie', meaning a self-portrait photograph, was named the word of 2013 by Oxford Dictionaries, after its usage increased by 17,000% in the year.
The photograph shows one half of the copper resonator used by NPL scientists to perform the most accurate measurement yet of the Boltzmann constant, which states how much energy at the individual particle level corresponds to each degree of temperature. This measurement could revolutionise the way we define temperature, replacing the standard method that has been used for over 50 years.
The Physics World website describes the decision to include the photograph:
"2013 is the year when Oxford Dictionaries chose 'selfie' as its word of the year. In light of that, we could not resist including this rather excellent selfie of researcher Michael de Podesta, from the National Physical Laboratory in the UK, who recounts the six-year experiment where he and his colleagues have made the most accurate measurement yet of the Boltzmann constant - a result that will help redefine the kelvin."
Find out more about NPL's work to redefine the unit of temperature

A day after unusually high tides — around 7 metres — hit city shores, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) removed 64 tonnes of floating refuse that entered seafronts.
According to BMC, areas in G-north ward, which covers Dadar and Mahim, were found to be the filthiest, with removal of 34 tonnes of waste from there. In C (Marine Drive), D (Girgaum) G-south (Worli), H-west (Bandra) and K-west (Juhu, Sagar Kutir) wards, BMC lifted 6, 5, 1.5, 1.5 and 16 tonnes of refuse, respectively.
"Filth defaced Marine Drive, Worli sea face and also Shivaji Park. Immediately on receiving complaints about it, the solid waste management (SWM) department swung into action. Out of the total waste removed, 47.5 tonnes was removed on Friday itself," a senior civic official said.
With the city set to witness more than 4.5-metre-high tides on four occasions until Wednesday, BMC has decided to deploy its men, over 50 personnel, at the Girgaum, Worli, Dadar, Versova, Juhu, Aksa and Gorai beaches as a preventive measure. The personnel include one assistant station fire officer, four firemen, six national disaster response force men, 15 civic security personnel and policemen at every beach.
In addition, five security men have been deployed at the Gateway of India, and 15 civic officials from storm water drain and SWM departments and NGOs have been put to work.
"We have instructed nodal officers to be present at control rooms three hours prior to and after high tides to ensure proper coordination. These men will work for eight hours a day. On holidays, like Sunday, we are contemplating extending hours and keeping two shifts," the officer said.
BMC has also appealed to residents to avoid being close to seafronts on high-tide days. "Our men will be watchful. People will not be allowed to go anywhere near seafronts. But people too should cooperate in avoiding any untoward incident," he added.
Civic officials on Friday said neither the meteorological department nor oceanographers have any clue why the tides rose to such heights. "Officially, we are unaware of the reason... But given the amount of water entering city limits, it's high time the governing agencies sit together and figure it out," the official said.
Watch out!
High-tide days ahead...
Sunday: 4.85 metres
Monday: 4.85 metres
Tuesday: 4.74 metres
Wednesday: 4.55 metres
