From the Guardian's work sectionLast autumn, in a dispute over pay, IBM workers in Italy organised a picket outside their company headquarters. They marched and waved banners, gate-crashed a staff meeting and forced the company to close its business centre to visitors. They were joined by more than a thousand supporters, among them a range of geometric shapes, "sentient" fruit and even a stack of square discs shaped like a human holding a banner with the somewhat cryptic message, "seriously guys what has Korea ever done for us".Welcome to the world of 21st-century strike action. The protest, by more than 9,000 workers and 1,850 supporting "avatars" from 30 countries, was carried out in the virtual environment Second Life, where IBM operates a "corporate campus". In a world where workers ar

In 1761 German physician Leopold Auenbrugger remarked, "It has always been the fate of those who have illustrated or improved the arts and sciences by their discoveries to be beset by envy, malice, hatred, destruction and calumny." Following Great Feuds in Science, Hellman (Beyond Your Senses) now documents 10 dramatic medical disputes. British anatomist William Harvey's 1628 discovery of blood circulation challenged anatomical theory and caused his ostracism by the scientific community. In the late 18th-century, electrical disputes raged between Galvani whose "animal electricity" theory, to modern sensibilities, borders on the occult, though it garnered immediate support and prefigured current studies of electricity and paralysis and Volta, who worked to disprove Galvani.

How many times have you watched a commercial for a new toy or a new tool and thought, "That was my idea!"? They say that great minds think alike, so it's no real surprise that simultaneous discovery is very common in the inventing world. Inventors have a knack for recognizing problems and developing solutions, but what happens when two inventors come up with the same solution to the same problem? The answer is, sometimes, a feud.
Many times, inaccurate information will appear on your credit report. In my experiences, one of the most common mistakes credit reporting agencies make is that they mix up the credit information of family members with the same name. For example, my father and I share the same name. I cannot tell you how many times my father’s credit accounts have shown up on my credit report. It is very frustrating, however, all one can do is fix the inaccuracy.The easiest way to remove inaccurate information is to dispute the inaccuracy. The three main credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) all have options where a person can dispute inaccurate information through the respective credit bureau’s website. First, you should only dispute the inaccurate information to the credit bureau that has reported the inaccurate information. Therefore, if the inaccurate information is reported only in your Equifax report, there is no need to dispute anything in your TransUnion report because th
A senior official in the Abu Dhabi Rental Disputes Resolution Committee has clarified that Landlords cannot evict tenants for the sole purpose of change of business, from residential buildings to hotel apartments.The Chairman of the Resolution Committee, Mohammad Rashid Al Hameli, said "Changing business from residential building to hotel apartments is not a legal ground to evict tenants".Al Hameli mentioned that legally landlords do not own the right to evict tenants, unless in specific cases, such as approved demolishing for personal use, or for tenants failure to pay the rent, or subletting the property without the approval from landlord or for violating public norms.In case of demolishing the building, the tenant should be informed about it six months in advance, and in case it is found that the landlord has not been living in the property after evicting the tenants under the pretext of personal use, or if the property has been re-rented to another party, the tenant can place a com

John Merris has an above-average credit score. But he felt it was worth taking time and effort to make it even better."Although my credit report and score are both good, the credit-reporting agency informed me that my score would be even higher if I had a credit card history," the Shrewsbury, N.J., man explained.Merris was confused, because he has been using credit cards for more than two decades."So, I gathered all the information regarding the three credit cards I have had for the past 20 years. I sent the credit reporting agency a letter listing the three cards, the dates I had them and the addresses where I send payments each month."About 2 weeks later, I got a letter from the credit-reporting agency. It stated that I personally cannot submit such information about my credit cards. Rather, the information must come from my creditors. Therefore, all my detective work was for nil because the credit-reporting agency would not accept my information."It's no wonder consumers get frustr
By Mark PartridgeDomain name conflicts affecting business are on the rise.Fortunately, victims of domain name abuse have an effective tool to fight cybersquatting. The Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) adopted in 1999 by the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the international body responsible for domain name governance, has been used to address thousands of domain name conflicts.As an ICANN UDRP Panelist with over 125 reported decisions, I have read many submissions, some very good, many bad.Here are six recommendations for UDRP submissions.1. The Complaint (or Answer) should be a brief. This is your only chance to argue your position. Treat it like a memorandum in support of a motion for preliminary injunction or summary judgment by presenting your case as an advocate. Mere notice pleading allowed in our federal system is not effective for the circumstances.2. The Pleading should be brief. Although the provider's limitations on length are largel
Complaints with regards to settlement of mediclaims by health insurance companies are increasing, according to the data available with the Insurance Ombudsman. Additionally, complaints relating to issues such as lack of transparency in settlement of medical claims are growing of late. Settlement of overseas mediclaims was also becoming an issue with the increase in the number of people going abroad on work, he added. In both life and non-life, complaints on settlements are on the rise. For instance, as per the data of office of the Governing Body of Insurance Council, about 7,420 complaints were made to Insurance Ombudsmen in the 12 circles in the country between April and December 2006. Kolkata has a major share with over 1,300 complaints, followed by Mumbai with 1091 , Lucknow 907, Chennai 870 and Hyderabad 947, among others.

This MIT scientist is another example of how not all scientists are on board with the man-made aspect of global warming. The fact that scientists have a consensus, as we are told, means there are scientists out there who don’t believe it. Yet we don’t hear their side of the issue in the media.
We are told the debate is over yet I don’t remember there being a debate.
This scientist make a good point in the fact that they can’t predict what the weather is going to be like next week accurately, yet we are supposed to believe they can predict the weather years down the road.
