I want to know that during the strike period(illegal strike) can the wages of striking people can be deducted, if yes, for how many days or hours during a month. If there is any percentage of deduction and the maximum percentage for deduction. If any body has displayed notice in notice board in this regard please send me the same. What are the other legal measures to deal with the people who are in strke in a factory.
D P S Chauhan
Thank you very much. Please clear my doubt whether we can deduct salary for more days. If strike was for 2 hours. should we deduct for only two hours or more. I would be thankful to you if you send me a draft that has to be displayed on the notice board saying that under which clause their was will be deducted and under which Act.
Best wishes,
D P S Chauhan
on the principle of no work no wages ,you can deduct the salary for the period workers were on strke.if they were on strike for 2 hours than u can deduct salary for 2 hour only.
if it is illegal strike you can deduct salary for maximum 8 days.but how u can say it was illegal strike because management will always say that it is illegal and workers/union will always say that it is legal.so deducting of 8 days salary is little typical.whether labour authorities has declared it as illegal than u can go ahead otherwise u should not deduct 8 days salary.
j s malik
I was wondering, that in case the Employees in a concerted manner, without due Notice resort to a Strike(absent themselves from work)-can the 8 days deduction not be effected?
The provision of Sec 9(2) of Payment of Wages Act can be considered.
Grateful for views?
Please let me know what actions we can take against employees for mass absenteeism (15 nos) by workmen?
Can we consider it as illegal strike and deduct 8 days wages for the same?
Can we deny sick leave for that one day to workmen and treat it as LOP?
Further please clear this doubt:
the proviso ends with:
"such deduction from any such person may include such amount not exceeding his wages for eight days as may by any such terms be due to the employer in lieu of due notice"
What are these terms that the clause is talking about?

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and Pace Bus rolled out Ventra, their new fare-payment system, to all transit customers throughout the region.With the Ventra contactless payment system, transit riders board CTA trains and buses and Pace buses with a simple "tap" of a Ventra Card or a contactless personal bank card. Customers who register their cards — a process that takes just a few minutes — will enjoy the benefits of an account-based system, including balance protection and easy account management. There are no extra costs to use Ventra for transit and fares are the same."Ventra replaces CTA's outdated, nearly 20-year-old fare-payment system and brings flexible, convenient amenities to customers who take nearly 1.7 million rides on the CTA each weekday," said CTA President Forrest Claypool. "This is another example of how the CTA is working to modernize our system while leveraging technology to better serve our customers.""Pace and CTA are taking the next step forward in the evolution of fare payment technology to maximize convenience and account security for riders," said Pace Executive Director T.J. Ross. "Whether a rider uses transit every day or on an occasional basis, Ventra simplifies the process of boarding the bus and paying their fare."Ventra will replace all CTA and Pace existing fare media by Dec. 15, 2013.As part of an extensive outreach and education campaign that began last year, the CTA and Pace have deployed Ventra Ambassadors across the region to assist customers. Stationed at most of the CTA's busiest rail stations, the Ambassadors provide information, answer questions and assist customers with using Ventra vending machines. CTA also has information specialists, identified by a yellow safety vest, deployed throughout the system to assist customers.The new Ventra Card features two accounts — one for transit payments only and another optional prepaid debit account for everyday purchases anywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted. The prepaid card is an optional feature for cardholders who choose to use the Money Network MasterCard Prepaid Debit Account.The full public introduction of Ventra is the latest step in a phased rollout of the new system. The CTA and Pace first introduced Ventra last month to select customers, including Chicago Public School students, U-Pass users and Chicago Card Plus customers. The phased rollout is designed to allow some customers to become acquainted with the system group by group, while allowing the CTA and Pace to closely monitor system performance.Chicago Card Plus and registered Chicago Card customers continue to receive their cards in the mail, preceded by email notifications that let customers know when their cards are expected to arrive. Once those customers receive their cards, they must call the toll-free number on a sticker affixed to the card to activate it for immediate use, a process that takes just a minute or two.The Chicago Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) will issue new Reduced Fare and Ride Free permits for customers who already receive reduced or free rides later this month. Chicago Card Plus and Chicago Card customers participating in the Transit Benefits program will begin to transition to Ventra starting this month through the fall.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

Fish spas in Singapore
If you must.
What we say:
Fish spas — where tiny "doctor fish" eat dead skin from your feet — are among the more bizarre beauty trends sweeping the world. Not only do they leave your feet softer and smoother, but proponents claim it improves blood circulation and relieves stress. If you're curious to give it a try, here's where to get nibbled on in Singapore.
Kenko Reflexology & Fish Spa is the leading chain of fish spas in Singapore with locations in popular shopping centres and tourist attractions. Their hygiene standards are impeccable and the water is treated by UV sterilization and ozone disinfection to kill any bacteria. The regular price is $20 for 15 minutes or $30 for 30 minutes, but Kenko often has promotional prices to encourage passersby to give the fish spa a try. The six locations are The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Tanglin Mall, 313@Somerset, Orchard Central, Marina Square and Singapore Flyer. Open daily around 10:00-22:00, with hours varying slightly by location.
A fitting location if ever there were one, Underwater World Sentosa has its very own fish spa. After you've explored the aquarium and seen the pink dolphin show, the "doctor fish" will nibble away the dead skin on your feet. It also makes a relaxing break if your kids are old enough to explore the aquarium on their own. A 20-minute session paired with a 20-minute foot massage (by a human) will set you back S$38. Open daily 10:00-19:00 (last appointment at 18:15). T: 6279 9229.
If you'd like to board your next flight with silky smooth feet, look for Refresh! Fish Spa & Reflexology after you go through immigration at Changi Airport. The price is S$22 for 20 minutes of nibbling in the warm water fish pool. Pair it with a quick reflexology massage (the specialty of the human employees), and you'll be napping before take-off. Open 24 hours at Terminal 1 Departure Lounge . T: 6542 8308.
On the cheap, your best option is MassageToday which charges S$10 for 10 minutes of fish spa for feet. If you'd like to extend it, the price is S$18 for 20 minutes. They also offer affordable pedicures and massages. The location in Harbourfront Centre is conveniently near the monorail to Sentosa Island. Open daily 10:00-22:00. T: 6376 2798.Last updated: 15th November, 2014

Tuff love
Our favorite element of VFW Post 1970 is that surprisingly comfortable overlap in the hipster-redneck Venn diagram: All the rock 'n' rollers are happy to order PBR and Miller High Life, and the staff — relentlessly busy as they were last Thursday night, bless their hearts — is happy to serve it. Plus, drunken hipsters tip better than you'd think, and both sets are pleased as punch to be able to smoke their Pall Malls indoors.
The sold-out crowd was bustling and chattering, but everyone managed to meander toward the stage as joke-folk duo Birdcloud kicked off just after 9 o'clock. With Makenzie Green in chartreuse tights and a bikini top and Jasmin Kaset in some sort of jersey-esque tube miniskirt, Birdcloud faced one another, plugging along in that artless if endearing manner of theirs on guitar and mandolin. We've seen the 'Cloud, oh, a handful of times (is there a bill they haven't played on in the past six months?), so we were as prepared as one could ever be for their two-minute folk ditties, all of them stuffed with sarcastic melisma between grunted, semi-harmonized, caterwauled verses about getting fucked up at the Springwater, swimming-hole jealousy, blowing rodeo clowns, living with your granny, being "Indianer than alla y'all" and "snail trails" — even The Spin doesn't have the stomach to explain what that last bit means. Anyway, the duo donned telemarketer-style headsets so Kaset could perform her trademark solo on Green's crotch-mounted harmonica during "Saving Myself for Jesus." But despite the fact that their subtle, nuanced hit "Warshin' My Big Ol' Pussy" tends to go over well with most audiences, crowd noise had grown louder than Birdcloud's tacky-by-design hollerin' by set's end.
After squeezing their gear onto the VFW's modest stage, Natural Child launched unceremoniously — just like we like it — into a set of scuzzed-out blooze-rock tunes, many of them from their forthcoming Hard in Heaven. Wes Traylor did a bit of the old Gene Simmons tongue-wag as he hammered away at mean bass riffs, guitarist Seth Murray grooving along and doubling vocals at his side.
So yeah, Natural Child is all Stonesy (they covered "Tumbling Dice" for Chrissakes), riff-fueled, filthy blues rock. And yeah, they stick to the same formula. But there's a magic to it — a slackerdom and weedy nonchalance, fortified by hooks, charm, chops and sweat-soaked fun — that puts them among Nashville's finest live rock 'n' roll outfits. We slipped away to get another beer during Natty C's last number, but we're fairly sure we heard Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" ... or was it "My My, Hey Hey"?
After a tender intro from Nashville dude and former King Tuff sideman Joseph Plunket, frontman Kyle Thomas & Co. fired off a stellar one-two punch of "Anthem" and "Keep on Movin'" from this year's eponymous LP. A large, dreadlocked youngster hoisted Birdcloud's Makenzie Green — bloody elbows and all — atop his shoulders right in front of us, but once we found our way out from under Mak's ass and past the high-on-youth moshers, we noted Thomas' ability to burn naturally through some rather complex little lead parts. "Freak When I'm Dead," as it happens, proved to be a rather apropos rallying call for the flock of haphazardly crowd-surfing little bastards up front, many of them nailing the VFW's disco ball and ceiling fan as they glided over our heads.
As for the music, Thomas fishes the most visceral elements from every corner of rock 'n' roll: the mean riffing of cock rock and metal; the zero-fuck-giving stoner ethos of psych rock; the wild-eyed, bumping fury of punk rock; and the strut of glam and proto-punk (the T. Rex and Tom Verlaine similarities being the most obvious, we'd say). Funny, while chatting with door gal Brynne Bowden — an employee of The Stone Fox, the forthcoming local venue that booked the show — toward set's end, The Spin called Thomas' general aesthetic "dirty," which Bowden misheard as "nerdy." But there's nothing nerdy about a dude who wears a Flyers cap and a feather earring, shreds like the devil and sings about sun medallions.
Ripe for the picking
Even for a show at the Ryman, the assortment of people that filled the old church to see Fiona Apple on Friday the 13th was surprising — made up of everyone from tiny, femi-fist-pumping punks to collared-shirt-big-boot dudes to every chick in Nashville who owns a pair of Dr. Martens. When Apple made her way onstage, the girl next to The Spin whispered, "Ugh, she's soooo skinny," as everyone else completely and totally lost their '90s-lovin' shit. Apple's red lips were visible from the balcony as she childishly tiptoed onto the stage and burst into "Fast as You Can" from When the Pawn ... while gyrating and beating her leg with a metal baton.
When The Spin arrived, opener Blake Mills — also Apple's guitarist — was a couple songs in and sounding decent, but the hustle and bustle of the room made it apparent that everyone was waiting for the lady of the hour. Mills is an exceptional guitarist, but came off shy during his own set. Until, that is, his cover of Santo and Johnny's classic "Sleepwalk," when he referenced the number's use in La Bamba with a cry of "RITTCHIIEE!"
Just when The Spin thought the crowd couldn't get any more bizarre, an usher cleared some seats, allowing Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to sit a few feet away with a small group of rowdy young ladies. So long as we obscured our vision with a strategically positioned beer, Urban semi-headbanging to "Sleep To Dream," which came mid-set, didn't take anything away from the show. The gloomy and ruminating "Shadowboxer" cut through the room, Apple's distinctive vibrato sending the crowd into shrieks, her harsh, primeval moans falling over the audience like a sweater that probably shouldn't be worn in the summer — a little heavy and overwhelming, but it fits in all the right ways.
Apple moved unpredictably from her piano bench to the microphone, prancing like a deer in and out of headlights. She covered her face during "Extraordinary Machine" and twitched, falling to her knees, then jumped up and ran over to beat on a floor tom during "Daredevil" from her latest, The Idler Wheel ... . Though there was no lack of energy in Apple's set, there were peaks and troughs, allowing for her to get wild for a song or two and then bring it down for a breather.
Wearing a crimson, glittered dress with a high slit up the side under a tiny tank top, Apple bent, twisted and contorted her body in a possessed but magnificent fashion — some folks cringed, others were delighted. On the way out, The Spin watched a kid with a popped collar (we know, we thought they didn't exist anymore either) imitate Apple while telling his buds that he knew she danced, "but that was just weird." That girl could writhe on the floor all day and not open her mouth to sing and we would watch, but add her soulful grunts, growls and howls, and we can assure you it's less weird than a dude who shows up to a Fiona Apple show and expects to see anything less than provocative.
And damn, did she writhe, jump, dance and squirm. It appeared as if her eccentric, sexual energy crawled offstage and up the pant leg of everyone in the crowd — couples licked one another's necks and rubbed each other's backs like they were pre-gaming for an Eyes Wide Shut party. Seriously though, had Apple played a few more songs, an all-out orgy might have defiled The Mother Church. When Apple finally busted out "Criminal" near the end of her set — something of her "Free Bird," if we may say — she almost appeared to sing it out of respect for the crowd, but with an ostensible disdain for performing it. It was the only song in the set that felt dry and rushed. Admittedly, The Spin wasn't displeased when Apple spoke after "Criminal" and said, "OK, let's pretend two minutes went by, you all clapped and I'm back." The "encore" was a sad, striking cover of Conway Twitty's "It's Only Make Believe." A little anticlimactic, but pleasing nonetheless.

"Justified" star Walton goggins has a brief but pivotal role in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained". We lassoed the actor over to the chatting bench to talk up the acclaimed, fun flick – hitting DVD and Blu-ray this week.
What drew you to the film and can you tell us a little about your character, "Billy Crash"?
Well, it's Quentin Tarantino. [Laughs] This is not a character that I would play anymore in my career. It's something I've been given an opportunity to do a number of times – not this specific guy – but things that are in this genre and in this way. It's no different than an Italian from New York playing a gangster a number of times. I'm from the South, therefore these are the opportunities that you get early in your career. But this is Quentin Tarantino and this role and this movie and every actor in this movie. After reading it the first time, I put it down and said to a friend of mine, "This movie's going to start a revolution. If it isn't people in the streets then it's going to be an inward revolution." Quentin has solidified himself as the person to tell this story for this next generation of people coming up.
Do you think this movie will give the topic of slavery a new platform for discussion or lead to any type of social movement?
I think it's a social movement and I think it's going to reinvigorate the discussion in this country. What Quentin's been able to do is essentially give us, visually, the greatest white fear in this country for three hundred years. That's what you do. That's what you fear most. And you should fear it. What you've done? How you've subjugated an entire race of people and the atrocities that were committed? You should be afraid when you go to sleep at night. And through the telling of this story and the journey of "Django," just to remind the audience, the man just wants to be with the woman that he loves. That's it. And it's an institution of unrighteous legislation and people that are preventing him from doing that. And for me, my job, and the reason why I wanted to be a part of this movie – in addition to it being Quentin Tarantino – was that I can do it. I know how to do it. And I want to participate in the telling of this story. And if that meant my sacrificing on some level a commitment to myself in order to do so in a movie that I thought was this important, then so be it. I feel like I'm a part of that and this is so antithetical to anything that I've ever been around in my life being a liberal who lives in California. I think it it's fucking important and I'm right in the chorus, screaming along with everybody else.
Would you call this film a revenge story, a love story or a social injustice story?
Why can't it be all three? God knows we put too many things in boxes these days. We only see them from one person's perspective. It's like the political parties in this country. I want to move past naming anything. Let's get to the essence of it. Let's get to the truth of it. And that requires seeing it from every different perspective. One thing that didn't make it into the final cut of the movie is the scene where I go to castrate Jamie or "Django." "Billy Crash" has a long conversation with him and it's beautifully written. It is vintage Tarantino and he really brings into focus the working poor white man's perspective: the man who attained power in a society that didn't allow that for people that were economically challenged. The only way that you could move up in the corporation is to commit horrible acts against another race of people. "Billy Crash" articulated it in this speech by saying, "I had me a good thing here and you done gone and fucked that up. It took me my lifetime to get to this place. I've made more money than I've ever made in my whole goddamn life and here you're gonna go on and fuck that up." His anger is coming from that place. "As hard as I know it is for you, also know it's a little hard for me out here, too. And I've finally gotten what's mine and you've taken that away." And it's interesting that, in that moment, when Billy walks out and Sam's character walks in, there is no racism between those two men. There's a simpatico understanding that we exist only because we have each other and we have a vested interest in keeping the status quo.
What type of person do you think your character would be in 2013?
A convict. [Laughs]

Property itself is nice. You are near everything. Just a block off US-1 but a very quiet area. Free Parking and Free Internet that had decent speed. Checked in and went to room. First thing the bathroom door would not close. Second there was a layer of dust on all the furniture including the flat screen tv. The coffee in the room was by far the worst coffee I have ever drank. Staff was very helpful though. Being a Marriott Rewards Member I responded to the Front Office Mgr and her 100% Guarantee of Customer Satisfaction email and still have not heard back from her about my issues. I think next time I will try the Residence Inn which is very close by this property.

Honduras tops Boca Juniors 2-0 in friendly match
Honduras cashed in while Boca Juniors squandered its chances in a friendly Wednesday night at Sun Life Stadium.
Famed Argentina club team Boca Juniors brought the bigger name. The Honduras national team brought the better game — at least on the scoreboard.
Jerry Bengtson's first goal, a lunging, flopping header in the 23rd minute, put Honduras ahead, and Bengtson's second goal, a shot from the edge of the area in the 89th minute finished off a 2-0 win in a friendly at Sun Life Stadium.
Both Bengtson goals followed attack flurries by Boca, which had the better chances. Boca Juniors controlled the second half, but couldn't finish. It came within a crossbar bounce of tying the score in the 76th minute when, off a free kick from about 35 yards out, Cristian Cellay's headed a drive toward the top of the goal. Honduras goalie Noel Valladares, caught out a bit, extended back to tip the shot off the underside of the crossbar.
Fortune's winds blew behind Valladares from early in the match. The first scoring chance came when he found himself well out of position, past the middle of the area and Boca's Leandro Parades had only to nestle or lob a shot past Valladares to open the scoring. Parades put his shot over the net.
Not so lucky was Valladares' counterpart, Sebastian D'Angelo. D'Angelo got beaten to a long high bouncing ball by Bengtson, who booted a shot off the right post a step before colliding with D'Angelo. As the ball ricocheted back toward him with an open net, Bengtson scrambled not quite to his feet and launched himself to head home the rebound, resembling (appropriately given the venue) a dolphin on land.
Although Boca outshot Honduras 8-3 in the first half, Honduras forced more corner kicks (4-3).
After Boca couldn't convert second-half possession control into the tying goal, Bengtson struck the clinching blow. From the edge of the area, he lost a defender with a zig-zag dribble, then turned and fired into the right side of the goal.
The game drew a gathering that covered perhaps 40 percent of Sun Life's lower bowl. The crowd was undoubtedly hurt by the game being played on a week night (the two previous soccer events this summer at Sun Life have been on Saturday nights); that a United States-Mexico match acted as home tractor beam to some local soccer fans; and the possibility that it would be an ersatz version of Boca Juniors on the Sun Life pitch.
Tuesday, a question saying some Honduras fans found the expected Boca lineup to show a lack of respect for Honduras was regarded as "disrespectful" by Boca vice president Oscar Moscariello, who claimed Boca always played the best of those available and playing well.
But with this match falling between Sunday's 2-0 first-division win against Tigre in Argentina and Saturday's match against All Boys, only forward Nicolas Blandi played Sunday and Wednesday.
Two other Wednesday starters, Cristian Cellay and Diego Rivero, and two players on the bench, Cristian Alvarez and Orlando Gaona Lugo, were on the bench Sunday.

Barack Obama may have learned a lesson from his "lipstick on a pig" remark that generated sharp rebukes from the John McCain campaign.
Obama has used a teleprompter when delivering speeches, but normally he hasn't employed one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events, CNN reported.
However, he did use a teleprompter at two campaign events in Colorado on Monday.
The use of the teleprompter is seen by some as a way to avoid off the cuff remarks like the "lipstick" quip he delivered at a town hall meeting in Virginia.
"You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig," he said.
When vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech at the Republican convention, she joked about being a hockey mom, saying the only difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom is lipstick.
McCain's campaign called Obama's remark "offensive and disgraceful" and said Obama owed Palin an apology.
Obama insisted he wasn't referring to Palin.

"Intersectionality" – or the ways in which systems of oppression coproduce one another rather than exist as discreet or parallel forces – has become somewhat of an academic buzzword in recent years, particularly in gender studies and other social justice-focused fields. Despite a longstanding feminist tradition in STS, there is notably limited uptake of intersectionality in STS, broadly construed, despite explicit calls for critical STS inquiry at the intersections of inequality and a recent proposal in "Science, Technology, and Human Values" that STS scholars need to think about justice beyond the narrow confines of ethics. An explicit focus on intersectionality sensitizes STS to the politics of race, gender, class and sexuality, rather than imagining these concepts as the symptoms, effects, or artifacts of (techno)scientific knowledge production. This talk highlights meaningful but elusive affinities between STS and intersectionality – some of which are actively being traced by leaders in both fields. These shared affinities represent powerful lenses — or "analytic dispositions" (Cho, Crenshaw, & McCall, 2013) — through which to interrogate the ways in which health, medicine, technology, and scientific practices are created, organized by, and situated within complex structural dynamics, such as reproductive health, stratified biomedicine, racial genomics, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.

Since the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973, psychology has transformed the way it approaches sexual orientation and gender identity issues in scientific research and clinical practice. The paradigmatic shift from psychopathology to identity has corresponded with the introduction of "LGBT-affirmative therapy," which suggests that therapists should affirm clients' sexual orientations rather than reinforce sexual minorities' experiences of stigma and marginalization. And though the academic literature on LGBT-affirmative therapy is proliferating, there remains little consensus on what exactly this means conceptually and what it looks like in practice. This interdisciplinary research explores psychology's ongoing project of both producing what constitutes LGBT issues and the practices used to treat them therapeutically. Based on analysis of over 2,000 minutes of recently produced psychotherapy training videos, I will explore what these films suggest an LGBT-affirmative psychotherapist looks like: what does she know, what does she (not) do, and how is her approach any different from therapy-as-usual? In the complex space where science, culture, beliefs, and attitudes about sexual orientation, gender, and other dimensions of identity collide, what is the new psychotherapy of sexual orientation?

How to Police Your Food: A Story of Controlling Homes and Bodies in the Early Age of Manufactured Foods is a talk about three concerns of our day: food, knowledge, and control. The concerns are anchored in debates over environmental and public health inside a world of manufactured, industrial food. Cohen will talk about the dawn of that manufactured food system to show the basis for and consistency of such anxieties. As it were, the biggest story of agriculture and food from the mid-1800s to early 1900s is one of shifts in control from the field to the kitchen, from the farm to the city, from production to consumption. Those trends grew substantially across the 1900s, but their shape was put in place early in the century. In the midst of those massive changes, domestic economists, chemists, and grocers engaged in intense arguments over the best way to police the food of new urban households. Taste, smell, and sight had long provided ways to judge the quality and presumed purity of foods. Those were measurements of the body derived from daily experience. But just as the household body was challenged by new foods from outside sources—some domestic, some foreign—so too did officials challenge the value of evidence from individual bodies in protecting that space. This talk focuses on debates between the value of bodily knowledge and the incursion of analytical evidence during the so-called pure food crusades. Those debates highlighted a struggle between household management (what foods were brought into the house) and individual health (how to assure sustenance and nourishment). It's all very familiar as we struggle, to this day, to manage relationships between food, bodies, and the land.Benjamin R. Cohen is assistant professor in the Engineering Studies and Environmental Studies Programs at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. From 2005-2011, Cohen was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Science, Technology, and Society [STS] at the University of Virginia. Holding STS, history, and environmental studies together, his interests sit at the intersection of the histories of science, technology, and the environment, with particular attention to industrial agriculture from the 19th century to today.

A Fukushima Farmer Tills His Soil For Radiation
By Dick Gordon
Dick calls Japanese farmer Mitsuo Sato, who lived close to the Fukushima Daiichi reactor when it began to meltdown in 2011. We have spoken to him twice now and check back on whether there has been any progress in returning to his farm. He is part of a crew that is decontaminating the soil in his community, and says he might be able to work the soil again by 2015.
To hear the audio for this interview, visit The Story's website. Also in this show: Japanese photographer Shimpei Tekada collected contaminated soil and placed it on film; and photographer Wendy Ewald re-visits an Innu community after 40 years.

WIS Design's Decades chest of drawers stopped us dead in our tracks at Salone Satellite. Dramatically positioned before a hot pink background, its combination of drawers were selectively rescued from local Stockholm flea markets. "Decades" was first launched at last year's Casa Cor exhibition in Stockholm, where WIS Design are based and have a showroom. This is the first time the products have been shown at an international exhibition such as Salone Satellite and the debut made some seriously sustainable waves throughout Milan.
The Vanity Easy Chair is Decades's sister product. Adorned with loose leather scales made from old 'out of style' jackets. The varying ages and qualities of the material invite you to sit, lie, read and remember. Made from carefully selected and locally sourced elements WIS Design's collection echoes fashion's flirt with mixing the vintage aesthetic with sharp modern lines.
Behind WIS design are Lisa Widén and Anna Irinarchos. They work on self initiated projects and commissioned work in furniture, graphic, product and interior design and are currently taking orders directly. When Inhabitat spoke to WIS Design in Milan, they told us how they had been so inspired by such positive feedback on their product, that they are going to start investigating alternative, more sustainable materials to replace the MDF frame.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Frank, Rimerman +Co., LLP in October 2014.Interview Details
Was introduced to the firm from my university's accounting society and meet the firms event. Applied through my university's job portal.
Shortly after, I received a first round interview and was later invited to a second round interview in Palo Alto. I was flown to San Jose where I was picked up by some professionals and taken to dinner with the professionals and two other candidates. After dinner they dropped us off at a nice hotel. The next morning another professional picked us up and drove us to the Palo Alto office. Second round interviews consisted of an interview with a senior manager and a partner.

- Nothing tricky. The interviewers only asked simple behavioral questions. If you can hold a professional conversation with them you'll do fine. Answer Question

I applied through college or university. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Frank, Rimerman +Co., LLP.Interview Details
I applied through my school's career portal. The company approved my resume, cover letter, and transcript and I received notification from the career portal that I had been selected for the on-campus interview.
The on-campus interview was stress-free. I was held in a waiting room with a second-year associate and made small talk until my interview began. Getting to know one of the employees before my interview helped to alleviate any nervousness I had going into the whole process. The actual interview began with the classic 'tell me about yourself' question and then a quick run-down of my resume. After that, I asked the questions I had prepared and we talked about company history and current operations, clients, and company culture/vision.
About a week later I received a email from the recruiter saying I had been selected for the on-site office interview. There were no problems scheduling my visit - the firm paid for all of my travel, lodging, and food expenses for the duration of my stay.
An associate picked me up from the airport, took me to dinner, and then dropped me off at the hotel. In the morning, I was shuttled to the office and interviewed with a senior manager. This interview was a little more formal than the on-campus interview with a few more behavioral questions. Still very conversational in nature.
I then went to lunch with two second-year associates and another candidate. After lunch I interviewed with a partner and this was the most formal interview, but still maintained a somewhat conversational tone. Nothing beyond behavioral questions and questions about my goals, interests, etc.
I received my offer via email in the terminal of my home airport.

Half a century before Dodi and Diana, another Prince of Wales would be involved in a deadly love triangle with a fabulously wealthy Egyptian "prince." Prince Edward was the future King of England, a destiny he would famously forsake over his love for Wallis Simpson. But two decades prior he was involved in another love affair that threatened to jeopardize the royal family. The story took place in maisons de rendezvous, luxurious chateaux in the French countryside providing hospitality for the British upper classes, the richest food, the finest wines and the most beautiful women, the violent and dangerous Paris demi-monde - where many of the women came from - and the Savoy hotel in London, where a murder was committed. This major royal scandal, superbly covered up by the Royal family, the government and the judiciary has remained secret ever since.This is the story of a passionate and deadly love affair set against the dramatic backdrop of the Great War. Edward was enthralled by the ''crazy physical attraction'' of Marguerite Alibert, queen of the Paris demi-monde. When he broke off their hidden relationship, Edward thought that he was free of Marguerite. He was wrong. After the war, as a violent thunderstorm raged outside the luxurious Savoy Hotel in London Marguerite fired three shots from a semi-automatic pistol. Her husband, and Egyptian multimillionaire and playboy, was shot dead at point blank range. Marguerite stood trial for murder at the Old Bailey. As Prince Charming and poster boy of the British Empire, Edward now risked exposure as a degenerate wastrel, partying behind the lines while thousands were blown away on the Western Front.Andrew Rose, using his long experience as a barrister and judge, has uncovered a royal scandal carefully airbrushed from history. Edward never quite escaped from Marguerite who had taught the arts of love to a once and future King.The Prince, the Princess and the Perfect Murder is the product of several years'' research, accessing unpublished documents held in the Royal Archives and private collections in England and France.
