Lawsuit accuses Houston energy company of ADA violation
On behalf of Warren & Siurek, L.L.P. posted in americans with disabilities act on Monday, July 1, 2019.
A Houston-based multinational energy company has been accused of discriminating against one of its former workers in a complaint filed on June 24 in the Harris County District Court. The 66-year-old Brazoria County resident alleges in his litigation that the Phillips 66 Company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by terminating his employment after he took leave under the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act.
In his lawsuit, the many claims that he was placed on administrative leave in May 2018 and fired a month later. The man says that he was not notified about any violations he had committed before he was let go and was not subject to any disciplinary action at the time of his termination. The man underwent back surgery in 2017 and requested FMLA leave after injuring his back in April 2018. He was placed on administrative leave just days after being medically cleared to return to work.
The man, who worked for seven years at a Phillips 66 facility in Old Ocean, is seeking compensatory, liquidated and punitive damages for the alleged Americans With Disabilities Act violation. He also wants his case to be heard by a jury. Initial media reports do not contain any statements about the case from Phillips 66.
Attorneys with experience in this area could explain to individuals who claim to have been treated unfairly that they may seek remedies under the ADA if they have a condition that substantially impairs everyday life activities. Impairments can be either physical or mental. Attorneys could also point out that workers may file ADA claims when their employers demand medical testing or fail to make to make reasonable accommodations. Attorneys may advise workers who wish to pursue such claims to keep detailed records of their workplace experiences and their requests for reasonable accommodations.

'The Blacklist' Season 2, Episode 5: 'The Front'
Posted byBy Ricky Riley | Published on October 20, 2014 CommentsComments (0)
The Blacklist season 2, episode 5: The Front airs tonight on NBC.
The team targets an eco-terrorist cell seeking a deadly weapon. Meanwhile, Liz attempts to lose her guardian, and Red resorts to manipulation to pursue a special someone.
NBC describes the show as follows:
"For decades, ex-government agent Raymond 'Red' Reddington (James Spader, The Office, Boston Legal) has been one of the FBI's most-wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as 'The Concierge of Crime.' Now, he's mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth 'Liz' Keen (Megan Boone, Law & Order: Los Angeles), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it's going to be one hell of a first day on the job. What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red's true intentions? Why has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection? Does Liz have secrets of her own? Zamani is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years: a 'blacklist' of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all … with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal to 'see the bigger picture' – whether she wants to or not."
The Blacklist season 2, episode 5 airs Oct. 20 at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC. Preview below:

Lakeside Park & Rose Garden

Mayor Dedicates Lakeside Sunken Gardens Fort Wayne, IN: Mayor Graham Richard, with City officials and Parks and Recreation representatives, dedicated the newly-reconstructed Sunken Gardens at Lakeside Park today.
"Reconstruction of this historic park feature has been anxiously awaited by the many admirers of Lakeside Park," said Mayor Richard. "With the dedication of this historic park, we can offer our citizens a beautiful respite to visit and enjoy."Restoration of Lakeside Park's sunken garden was a primary recommendation from a Cultural Landscape study. We directed CEDIT funds of more than $586,000 to satisfy the total project cost," said Richard.The original sunken garden design was created by Parks Superintendent Adolf Jaenicke by 1920. In his own words, the area "was a depression of about six feet deep and … was used as a dump by the neighborhood." Jaenicke had been experimenting with the idea of a rose garden, which was considered difficult in this area because of our harsh winters. But he found the clay of Indiana was ideal for the roses. The completed rose garden, elevated above a sunken garden with reflecting ponds, was finished in the early 1920's and has brought many thousands of visitors to Lakeside Park.
Reconstruction began on the sunken gardens in August, 2005. All of the hardscape elements (concrete) in the garden area were removed; specifically the retaining walls, stairs, sidewalks and reflecting ponds were replaced. Old postcards of the original structure showed the paths were composed of an orange material – probably crushed clay. So the current sidewalks have brick pavers to simulate more closely the original design."In keeping with historic photos, we rebuilt the pergola to conform to the original design," said Director Al Moll, Parks and Recreation. "Visitors will notice additional improvements, including more lighting for evening visits to the garden and a fabulous bronze fountain on the north retaining wall. The original cement lion's head fountain did not weather well, and it required reconstruction by Lloyd Cooper and was cast in bronze by Frank Bougher."
The project's landscape architect firm was the Landplan Group, and the construction firm was Clounie Landscaping, Inc. The total cost was $586,526.75. Lakeside was named a National Rose Garden in 1928, an honor it still holds today. As such, it is nationally renowned and people from all over the country think it is a "must see." It currently holds more than 2,000 rose plants with at least 150 varieties.
If you are interested in renting the Rose Garden for an event, it is available in two hour increments and costs $50. Rent NOW
There are also two pavilions available at Lakeside Park for rent. Rent NOW
LAKESIDE PARK & ROSE GARDEN AMENITIES
Lakeside Park provides 25.8 acres to enjoy such activities as: basketball, fishing, ice skating, picnicking, playgrounds, trails, and tennis courts besides finding scenic spots for taking photos or simply relaxing and enjoying the day!

Who The Feluda Took My Internet?
Madhu Trehan
Published on Mar 04 2016 2:36 pm
The CBFC is extending its tentacles to the internet by saying censored portions of films can't be released online.
Big Brother is flexing his muscles again. The Central Board of Certification pushes its boundaries from simply certifying films to cutting, chopping, snipping, hacking and butchering films as per the whims and moods of those who sit on it. Now the Butcher has decided all filmmakers must sign an undertaking that censored portions of films will not be released on the Internet.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, regulating the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act 1952, amended in 1983. This Act covers films and television but does not mention the Internet. It was found that filmmakers were releasing censored sections of films on the Internet, such as adult comedies Mastizaade and Kya Kool Hain Hum 3. In response to a public interest litigation in the Punjab and Haryana high court, the Information & Broadcasting ministry along with CBFC issued a decision that forbade filmmakers from reinstating censored sections from their films on the Internet.
It goes without saying that there is stuff out there that is inappropriate for children. Just as films are certified as 'Adults Only', children's access to the Internet must be managed. That is where Parental Controls come in. If parents can be educated on these methods by the same schools their children attend, they can set in motion what their children can or cannot view.
Why should thinking adults be subjected to schoolmarm behaviour by the State? Simply put, who the feluda does the CBFC think they are to decide what Indian adults — some who are better educated and qualified than the members — can see or not see? Obviously they don't trust us. But, don't they see? "Us" is "them" too at any given time. How are those sitting on the Board superior to the rest of us in India? If they weren't corrupted by what they saw, why would we be?
As Ai Weiwei said, "Censorship is saying: 'I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.' But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper".
What pedestal is this Butcher Board on that they believe that it is fine for them to have all the fun, expose themselves to new ideas, expand their minds and the rest of us masses would be corrupted if we see it?
First came Jawarharlal Nehru's fiddle with Article 19, adding restrictions to freedom of speech. This Nehru passed in Parliament when to his horror, he discovered the press did not idolise him as Prime Minister as they had when he was a freedom fighter. Then the Emergency, and details of that period are bordering on boring now. The now defunct infamous Section 66A had a cartoonist in jail, arrested young people for their Facebook posts, blocked and removed Twitter handles. Over the years, various political parties have had a glorious time banning books and films, while gathering vote banks.
Now, The Indian Express reported that they (who is 'they', as they say?) are setting up a cell to monitor all website content that will be marked 'positive', 'negative' or 'neutral'. They already had 200 persons on staff and it is conveniently fuzzy on how many more they will hire. And guess who is paying for all this? We are. We are paying to get ourselves monitored and possibly disciplined by the school marm. But, yes, I forgot. It is specious to compare it to the Emergency, which was so clear and in your face. So I cannot even bring up a whiff of the Emergency because you see, it isn't there. And I must point out, I have the freedom to write this, don't I?
But, this new decision on what films or what part of films are allowed on the Internet is not as minor or mild as it may appear. It would mean that none of us would have seen Leslie Udwin's film India's Daughter to even hold a debate on it.
As George Bernard Shaw said, "Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads". And that applies to films as well. Now the Internet.
But dear readers, do not fret. We won't see what they don't want us to see so we won't know what we are missing. Or did you forget that Ignorance is Bliss? India's Happiness Index will go up. Of course, the index will be tallied by 'them'. Who is 'them?' How the feluda do I know? I'm in bliss.

Hearing loss affects three out of every 1,000 infants in the U.S. Ten million older adults have age-related hearing loss. Yet 68 percent of Americans with hearing loss cite financial constraints as a key reason they do not use hearing aids. In fact, hearing aids are often cited as the third largest lifetime expense for individuals – after a mortgage and a car.
To help raise awareness for hearing loss and the lack of financial assistance (such as insurance, Medicare, etc.) available to children and adults, the Hearing Industries Association (HIA), which represents hearing aid manufacturers, participates in a broad coalition of organizations, health care providers and individuals to focus Congressional attention on the issue.
While the hearing health coalition worked persistently on this effort, the exemption language was a last minute addition. In fact, the provision exempting hearing aids from the tax was added in the final days before the bill's passage, while the FDA Class I medical device exemption (which would have also exempted hearing aids) was dropped from the bill in the final hours of leadership negotiations. Numerous Congressional champions worked to exclude hearing aids from the tax, including every Representative who attended an HIA-sponsored constituent event in support of the hearing aid tax credit held by people with hearing loss in their home districts in previous years.
Persistence. HIA has established and maintained an ongoing presence on Capitol Hill – both as part of a coalition and as an individual organization representing hearing aid manufacturers. It has worked diligently to identify and support "hearing champions" – Senators and Representatives who champion hearing health issues.
Play Offense and Defense. HIA has long and actively supported legislation that would implement a hearing aid tax credit for people with hearing loss who need hearing aids. This bi-partisan legislation was not considered as part of the ACA; however, the broad coalition developed to support the tax credit was able to quickly adapt to assist Congressional champions who insured that the tax on medical devices did not morph into a tax on hearing aids. It would have been quite difficult to jump start an effort of this magnitude in the absence of previous related efforts.
Get in Early. HIA and its coalition partners worked with House and Senate staff early in the process when the ACA was being drafted. Although an original legislative draft is nearly always amended, often significantly, it remains important to address issues early in the process.
Join a Coalition. HIA's efforts were successful in part because of all of the ongoing "groundwork" to build a diverse coalition of groups representing people with hearing loss, parents of children with hearing loss, hearing health professionals and anyone else interested in the issue. There were no opponents arguing that the ACA should tax hearing aids, although there were powerful groups lobbying against the exemption of all Class I medical devices from the device tax.
The group continues to support passage of the hearing aid tax credit (HR1479 and S905 in the 112th Congress). Starting in 2012, HIA has also helped to reorganize the Friends of the Congressional Hearing Health Caucus to provide a platform for Congressional hearing champions to examine issues of hearing loss on a regular basis at House luncheons, hearing screening events and receptions.
While HIA will remain vigilant as healthcare reform is enacted and as the Supreme Court addresses the bill's Constitutionality, the organization will continue with its two primary initiatives: Government Relations and Statistical Analysis of Hearing Aid Sales. The HIA government relations team will continue to work with Congressional champions while also working with the Food and Drug Administration on several issues of great significance to the hearing aid industry. In addition, HIA will continue to work in various states as they consider legislation that would mandate that insurance policies cover hearing aids or that would place restrictions on the sale of medical devices such as hearing aids.

'WAR IS LOST'
By Geoff Earle
April 20, 2007 | 9:00am
WASHINGTON – Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid yesterday waved the white flag of surrender, saying the war in Iraq "is lost."
"I believe . . . that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week," Reid said glumly at a press conference.
Reid's quitter comments caused an immediate uproar among Republicans and rippled across the presidential campaign.
Reid said he gave President Bush the same message Wednesday at a White House meeting, on a day when bombs killed 200 people in Baghdad.
"I know I was the odd guy out at the White House, but I told him, at least, what he needed to hear . . . I believe the war, at this stage, can only be won diplomatically, politically and economically," Reid said.
Reid told Bush the situation in Iraq was worse than in Vietnam, and he said Bush was taken aback by the comments.
Republicans bristled at the Nevada Democrat's comments, and the Republican National Committee e-mailed Reid's comments to reporters.
"You cannot negotiate 'diplomatically' with homicide bombers who kill innocent men, women and children," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said, calling Reid's comments "deeply disappointing."
Danny Diaz, spokesman for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said, "Now that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has admitted that he believes the war is lost, he should immediately cut funding for the effort and bring the troops home.
"Anything less would be intellectually dishonest and a sad exhibition, considering his comments last week that Democrats would benefit politically from the war."
White House spokesman Tony Fratto, referring to Reid's call for diplomacy and political and economic progress, said, "Those other three components will collapse without the military making their contribution to bringing security to the streets of Baghdad. Period."
Reid spokesman Jim Manley said the lawmaker stood by his comments, then added a qualification: "As long as we follow the president's path in Iraq, the war is lost. But there is a chance to change the course."
Staten Island Rep. Vito Fossella was upset by the comments.
"I recognize that times are tough in Iraq, but our American troops don't lose unless we allow them to lose, and cut and run before victory is at hand," the Republican said.
"And at this point, America and its leaders should be doing everything possible to bring about a victory and support our troops, and not pulling the rug out from underneath them."

This is a short auto biography of how Vertical Artisans came into existence.
It has been more than a ten year journey that has impacted my life physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope you enjoy reading it as it has been a delight for me to reflect and write it.
The year was 1982. Custom 77 auto re-builders was the name of the business and the job was sweeping up the place. I was so excited to be working and generating a pay check even if it was only $78 a week. Back then minimum wage was about $3.15 but for a young lad that was a good income. At least I thought it was. You see I got to be friends with the body men at the shop and one of them showed me his pay check after hours. He first asked to see my check and I showed him the $78 check as if to say, look how close that is to a hundo. He grinned and opened his envelope and I saw a seven and then a six and then a zero. I had to look at it closer to make sure I was seeing it right. I was paralyzed with the financial possibilities. It was late on Friday so I had to wait all weekend before I could talk to my boss again. So on Monday morning I was at work 30 minutes early. My boss was surprised of my early arrival and I was more than ready to negotiate the new terms of my employment.
That day changed my life. I realized what the difference was between an employee and an employer and I wanted to be the guy cutting the checks. The desire was mostly because of the money. It would take many years of my life to figure out how to be a success. I was only fifteen then but I knew that I would be an entrepreneur some day. I really didn't pass out that day but those words are still ring in my ears.
I've had many failed attempts at being a business man, in fact very few ideas ever made any money. I always seem to end up working for the man. But my first big move was with a friend who convinced me to invest in a new software company he was building selling niche market data to the steel industry. This company was going to make me a millionaire and I was told this often. My investment was ten grand and I was instantly the vice president. The concept was sound, the vision was excellent and the sky was the limit. The concept was light years ahead of its industry and over the first two years with hard work and dedication we began to see progress. That was until he took a six figure paying position from one of our clients and left me with an offer to work for him. That was the beginning of the end. The money was gone and I was seeing the vision of our company take a back seat. It wasn't much later than that and I had to be let go because there just wasn't enough money to pay my salary.
I was devastated. I thought I was a vested partner. I owned stock. What about the company I invested in? How could he do this? I later found out that my original investment went to pay for previous debts. I was betrayed, jobless, and angry. I had a wife, a mortgage, and no job. This was not what I had in mind for in my life. I was at the end of my rope and it didn't look good. I was going to have to find a job and work my way up the ladder again and try to save money to re invent myself for the 100'th time. I did not know if my dreams as a young man were going to come to pass and at that moment my future looked very dim. I felt like a failure. I became depressed. I was defeated. I didn't have any motivation, and I was very bitter.
My first thought was what did he just say? Then he said it again and he added these words "Stop listening to what men say and watch their feet!" Now before you go getting upset with my pastor there is something you must know. This man has taught me more about growing, living and giving then perhaps any man alive. It was my deep respect for this man that kept me in my seat and allowed my heart to remain open to receive what the Bible had to say about my situation. My life up until that moment was all about the pursuit of success, money and being my own boss. I didn't care about what really matters in life, I just wanted my portion. That's not too much to ask for is it? I was pierced through with many sorrows at that point in my life and I had no peace. I had listened to the man and NOT watched his feet. People can and will deceive you to get what they want and when you no longer have anything they want, they are out of your life. Parasitical relationships! The principle being watch the actions of men not what they say. I realized that I had to believe God for what he wanted me to do and I had no idea what that would be.
I later came back to his office and executed a universal law called sowing and reaping. Simply put, what ever you need in life, sow for it, or give for it. I needed an income, a career and a future to support my wife and hopefully a family someday. So I took some money and gave it to my pastor and told him I was going to believe God for a new business. He prayed for me that day and when we were done he spoke these words.
"Nathan, you are going to be a success and have a great testimony." I believed him and then left and went out to look for a job. I got a job the very next day working for a friend selling and building fences and decks. Two weeks later from the time I meet with my pastor I meet a man named Irne' (Ernie). He was from South Africa and we became friends almost overnight. We both played chess, guitar, and made each other laugh with competing humor. It wasn't long until one day we sat down to play a game of chess and he said "Hey, I want to show you something." He pulled out a beat up picture book of his fathers business in South Africa of which he was a manager. As he showed me the pictures of crude rock work I asked him what it was. He called it wall cladding or stone facing. In my heart I said these words. I can do that. Then I looked at him and said it out loud. "Irne, I can do that and I'll be one of the best in the world!" He looked at me and said, "I believe you." We didn't even finish the game. We both sat down and began to work out the details of a new company. I needed a company and one that was marketable so I wrote a list of words that best described what it was and what we would be doing. It looked something like this.
There it was, Creative Rock Forming. That was the name that would start it all and say it all. I knew in my heart this was from the Lord. This was what I was waiting for so I created the business and built a web site. www.CreativeRockForming.com We also declared that the CRF had a double meaning, Christ Reigns Forever. The seed was beginning to grow.
I didn't have many pictures so Irne let me use some of his or at least the ones I knew I could carve. I still had to work every day but my boss told me if I needed to take some time I could do rock projects when ever I wanted. That was great favor. I sold fences and decks in the day and scheduled rock jobs estimates at night. In two weeks I sold three projects. Irne and I did the jobs at night many times under the light of our cars. The clients often wondered at our strange hours but the jobs were relatively small and we got the work done in three to four days. We did three projects together until his visa ran out then Irne had to go back home to South Africa. He has never been back but I hope he and his wife can visit sometime. He still runs South Africa's largest artificial rock company. http://www.rockworks.co.za/ We are still good friends and brothers to this day.
The style I learned from Irne was the grout style technique most common in vertical carving. The stone style was kind of crude but what I saw was a diamond in the rough. So I began to work on my own look and style. I knew that the carving would have to look better than cultured stone if I was going to compete in the market place. I was so hungry for any knowledge and tool, anything that would advance me in this craft. I found very little advise and those I did find were tight lipped. In fact most people had no idea what I was even talking about when I described it. There was one guy in California that told me I could come out and watch him for $1000 dollars a day and that I could stay as long as I wanted or as long as it took for me to learn the craft. But his methods were regular artificial rock hard scapes and water features. The basic principles I learned from Irne I could not find anywhere on the internet or in the work place.
The year was 1999. I'm sure somewhere it was being done but it was very obscure. Stamped floors were just starting to become popular and there were some companies that offered some form liners. But artificial rock really didn't include wall cladding at least from what I could tell.
For three years or so until 2002 I still had to work a day job and be rock man at night. There were a few companies beginning to surface in the market place that offered vertical stamping. In 2003 I took a step of faith and declined the sales position at the fence company and said I was a full time rock man. It was a challenge but I succeeded. I would stone face anything that stood still and was even temped to stone face my van as a moving advertisement but I'm glad I didn't. My wife had her doubts through the years as I would pine away in my garage at night working on a rock. My mother later told me she secretly thought I should just go and get a job. My dad always had a smile and would even buy more sand and cement for me or anything I needed at the time. I love my dad, what a great encourager. There is a lot to say about those years but the dream in me was bigger than what was manifesting in my life. I felt held down, reduced to just what my crew and I could do. I wanted exponential growth but I knew hiring 10 more men was not the answer. I began to pray and ask God for more wisdom for my business. I specifically asked to be exponential. In my heart I heard him say if you want to be exponential then you must first position yourself to be exponential.
That was the first time I considered sharing this craft with anyone. Up until then I actually had all my workers sign trade secret agreements and other documents to try to protect my innovations and skills. Despite these fears, I began to formulate a company that would be the largest information site of its kind on the web and in the world. But in order to achieve that goal I needed people that were very good in their craft. Furthermore, I needed them to be willing to share their ideas and innovations in a protected environment. I needed more artists like myself and if I couldn't find them, then I would train them. The decorative concrete arena was booming with floors and counter tops but I was strictly vertical. All I wanted to pursue was vertical and I wanted vertical artisans. Hmmm. That's a good name.
VerticalArtisans.com was launched January 18th at the World of Concrete event in 2008. I was a guest artist at the event and opened some eyes and the doors to Vertical Artisans. A site designed to illustrate the methods, styles, and techniques of stone facing. I had been developing the site for the past 2 years. I wanted to offer an incredible aid to fellow artisans who had a desire like I did for this craft. I wanted to give them something that I did not have many years ago. I wanted them to have access to the data I so desperately searched for but could rarely find. To this day I still record all my projects and innovations that are added to the site almost monthly. I have no desire to stop adding value to my site.
I have purposed to network with other like minded artisans in the industry to produce the most comprehensive video web site data base on artificial rock and themed environments.
We are no longer obscure and are fast becoming the hottest trade in the industry. It may have taken a decade for decorative concrete to become a house hold name but it will not take as long for vertical to be the next leader of the innovation and creation in the world of concrete. There are four times as many walls and I feel we have not yet even scratched the surface of what can be done. Vertical Artisans is going to be there filming it every step of the way and offering its subscribers the best data in the world of its kind.
My story is one of perseverance, hard work and faith. Perseverance – never giving up even in the face of depression, failure and financial hardships. Hard work - because you are not entitled to anything in life, not even food. Faith - because with out the Lord I would be a slave to sin and death would be my future.
It is my desire that you Examine Yourself. Please Download & Listen to this message from Ray Comfort Called "Hell's Best Kept Secret"
I never would have thought that I would be making a living in vertical decorative concrete. All I want to do is to emulate the most realistic work and teach others who are willing as well. My desire is that as you read this you will be challenged to produce excellence in your life in the work place as well as in your private lives. I thank God for the talents and innovations He has given me and I pray your talents are unlocked and revealed so as you can prosper in this wonderful craft.
Time is a precious non renewable commodity.

CONNELLY v. PAUL RUDDY'S EQUIPMENT REPAIR & SERVICE CO.
No. 1 March Term 1972, Docket No. 53,139.
200 N.W.2d 70
CONNELLY v. PAUL RUDDY'S EQUIPMENT REPAIR & SERVICE COMPANY
Supreme Court of Michigan.https://leagle.com/images/logo.png
Decided August 30, 1972.
Johnson, Campbell & Moesta, for plaintiffs.
Fischer, Franklin & Ford, for defendant Paul Ruddy's Equipment Repair & Service Company.
Louis Rosenzweig, for defendant Norwest Machinery Movers Company
Harvey, Kruse & Westen, for defendant Detroit Engineering & Machine Company
Supreme Court of Michigan.
T.E. BRENNAN, J.
This is an action for damages for personal injury, resulting from an industrial accident which occurred on May 12, 1965. Plaintiff Connelly commenced her action in circuit court on May 10, 1968.
Defendants moved for accelerated judgment based upon the bar of the statute of limitations. The motions were denied at circuit, but upon leave granted, the circuit court was summarily reversed by the Court of Appeals.
Since we must decide whether the motions for accelerated judgment should or should not have been granted, we must assume that plaintiff will be able at trial to prove the allegations contained in her complaint.
Thus viewed, the facts are these: In 1948, defendant Detroit Engineering purchased a Cleveland press. In 1964, Detroit Engineering rented the press to plaintiff's employer, Wolverine Industries.
Between February 1, 1965, and March 15, 1965, defendant Paul Ruddy's Equipment overhauled the press. Defendant Norwest Machinery Movers delivered the press back to Wolverine Industries on March 15, 1965.
Negligent acts are alleged with respect to all defendants in preparing, designing, repairing and delivering the press.
It is not disputed that the press has not been in the possession of any of the defendants since March 15, 1965, more than 3 years prior to the institution of the present action.
THE STATUTES
Defendants' motion is predicated upon these sections of the Revised Judicature Act:
"Sec 5805
"No person may bring or maintain any action to recover damages for injuries to persons or property unless, after the claim first accrued to himself or to someone through whom he claims, he commences the action within the periods of time prescribed by this section. * * *
"(7) The period of limitations is 3 years for all other actions to recover damages for injuries to persons and property." MCLA 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805.
"Except as otherwise expressly provided, the period of limitations runs from the time the claim accrues. The claim accrues at the time provided in sections 5829 to 5838, and in cases not covered by these sections the claim accrues at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results." MCLA 600.5827; MSA 27A.5827.
Prior to the adoption of RJA, it was settled that a cause of action accrues at the moment when the plaintiff could first commence a lawsuit upon it.
In the case of an action for damages arising out of tortious injury to a person, the cause of action accrues when all of the elements of the cause of action have occurred and can be alleged in a proper complaint.
Those elements are four in number.
(1) The existence of a legal duty by defendant toward plaintiff.
(2) The breach of such duty.
(3) A proximate causal relationship between the breach of such duty and an injury to the plaintiff.
(4) The plaintiff must have suffered damages.
Defendants argue that the statutory provision " * * * the claim accrues at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results" means, in the context of this case, that claims against them are barred, since breach of duty claimed against them must have occurred prior to March 15, 1965, more than 3 years before action was commenced.
Defendants contend that the word wrong refers to an act of carelessness or negligence in repairing or handling the press. By their view, the word damage refers to the personal injury suffered by the plaintiff on May 12, 1965, the day that the press malfunctioned.
Defendants claim that interpreting the word wrong to mean actionable wrong, tort, harm or injury is to broaden the meaning of that word, and render the word damage entirely meaningless.
It is argued by the plaintiff that under such a view, her claim is barred before she was hurt. She would never have been able to commence an action at all.
By that interpretation, plaintiff says, the statute is not one of limitation but one of abolition, completely destroying her cause of action before it arises.
Defendants counter by pointing out that the statute of limitations is a statute of repose, designed to protect defendants from stale claims; that this is an industrial state and it is therefore reasonable to conclude that the Legislature intended to protect industrial and commercial interests by fixing a certain limit upon exposure to liability for faulty products and workmanship.
We cannot accept the defendants' view. However desirable the stated objectives might be, it is doubted that such was the legislative purpose. The statute in question is the Revised Judicature Act. It was drawn, as defendants point out, by a distinguished committee of lawyers, known as the Joint Committee on Michigan Procedural Revision. The purpose of the Act was to effect procedural improvements, not advance social, industrial or commercial policy in substantive areas.
The word damage is not rendered meaningless in a fair reading of the statute, even where the word wrong is understood to mean actionable wrong.
It is quite common in personal injury actions to allege and prove future loss of earning capacity, future medical expenses, future pain and suffering. Indeed all of these elements must be alleged and proved in a single cause of action. Once all of the elements of an action for personal injury, including the element of damage, are present, the claim accrues and the statute of limitations begins to run. Later damages may result, but they give rise to no new cause of action, nor does the statute of limitations begin to run anew as each item of damage is incurred.
Section 5831 of RJA provides that with respect to an open account, the statute runs from the time of the last item proved in the account.
A claim for medical bills in an action for personal injuries is not treated in the same way. It is governed by the general rule as expressed in section 5827, that later resulting damage does not have the effect of extending the limitation upon the action.
The Court of Appeals is reversed and the cause remanded to circuit court for further proceedings. Costs to abide the outcome.
T.M. KAVANAGH, C.J., and ADAMS, T.G. KAVANAGH, SWAINSON, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concurred with T.E. BRENNAN, J.
BLACK, J., concurred in the result

Sexual assault complainant waits months for Queenstown police interview
17 Jul, 2019 11:00 PM 3 minutes to read
Police have to come from Dunedin or Invercargill to interview sexual assault complainants in Queenstown.
An alleged sexual assault victim says she is traumatised and planning to make a formal complaint after waiting months to be interviewed by Queenstown police.
Officers trained to interview sexual assault victims are having to travel from either Dunedin or Invercargill to interview victims, after Queenstown's two trained staff stepped down.
She is complaining to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
"I feel completely unheard, completely ignored," she says.
"I feel like I am in limbo."
She says she last heard from police on July 5, when an off-duty officer told her in a text message he was trying to find out where things were at, but there was "a lack of qualified interviewers at the moment".
"I can't sleep, every aspect of trauma has increased," the woman says.
"Sexual violence victims of any kind are usually interviewed by what we call a 'level three interviewer', someone who is specially trained in the interviewing of victims of sexual crimes," he says.

"They'd done it for several years, it became too much.
"The other interviewer we had recently resigned, which puts us under a wee bit of difficulty."
"We had five to do the other week, so we had two interviewers come from Dunedin to do those.
"There are another three to be done at the moment, we're trying to schedule those in at the moment."
"If they're brave enough to come in and make the complaint, we do try and move them along as quickly as we can."
There's also some longer-term support on the way, thanks to a significant staffing boost for Queenstown and the Otago-Lakes area.
Area commander inspector Olaf Jensen says between the 2018/19 and 2022/23 financial years, Queenstown will get 13 new staff. That'll add to its current ranks of 53.
It's a result of the government's policy of boosting police by 1800 staff across the country over four years.
Jensen says the boost will include staff in the sexual abuse and child protection areas, as well as the resort's first dedicated organised crime unit.
The organised crime staff, due to arrive in the 2021/22 year, will focus on gangs and drugs, he says.
It follows a major meth bust last month, where $200,000 worth of methamphetamine and more than $30,000 in cash was recovered in urban Queenstown.
At the time, Inglis said cops were concerned gangs were bringing an increasing amount of meth into the area, and there was also a growing gang presence.
Jensen says they want to focus on the dealers, who are the ones "who cause harm in our community".

"I further believe that object technology holds the potential for fundamental changes in the software industry and that it is here to stay."
Bertrand Meyer wrote, in the preface of his famous book, "Object-Oriented Software Construction".
The best part of the good news is PHP 7, a general-purpose scripting language, well suited for web applications, has now all the core combination of Object-oriented-programming. Now it moves in a direction that would help PHP stay in the competition in the future.
In this book, the core combination of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) has been explained in great detail. Mainly the four ideas govern the OOP principle - a structuring method, reliability discipline, an epistemological principle and a classification technique.
These ideas have been stated step by step so that one could learn them and use them in the web applications.
The structuring method shows us how you can decompose and reuse your code in PHP 7.
The reliability discipline helps us take the radical approach to the problems of building software. Now we can solve those problems by adhering to contracts or interfaces. The epistemological principle addresses the core question of how we define the classes and what we can do with those classes. This formally expresses the idea of Abstraction, Encapsulation and Information Hiding principles.
Finally, we come to know about the classification technique or discipline that relies heavily on inheritance.
This book teaches you how we can define classes. We learn how programs manipulate those classes and the corresponding objects? How can we maintain a relationship between classes so that they can exchange messages? How can these ideas be applied in reality so that they relate to the key software engineering concerns as extendibility and efficiency?
Answers to these questions are here.
It's described in a lucid way so that the "learning OOP the hard way" becomes easy.
This book provides you the tools that are straightaway practical to a wide range of problems in web applications.

No one expects you to become a farmer or a nouveau hippy if you decided you want to become more sustainably minded. You may even be on the right path already: recycling, drinking from a reusable water bottle and walking, cycling or taking public transport instead of driving all count.
However, the most important thing you can do to contribute to sustainability is to carefully consider what is going into your grocery basket.
It is a well purported myth that you must purchase expensive, organic foods or shop at 'foodie' markets to be buying sustainable products. But in reality, eating sustainably can often be better for your pocketbook in addition to the environment.
To prove my above statement, I will give you a personal example. Last weekend, I bought some locally grown vegetables at the market that were gorgeous. They looked and tasted better than anything I can get at the store for the exact same price.
While I was there, I also picked up some sustainably harvested fish from a fishmonger I know that was $2 per pound cheaper than the supermarket! For the record, I actually compared prices.
There is no reason to make major life changes to increase the sustainability of your food choices. In fact, it should be quite easy. Starting small and staying within your means -- both financially and ability-wise, is the best way to begin.
So how do you do it? Here are 7 simple strategies to help you dig in and get started.
Those days when you just know you'll need all the micro-nutrients you can get... You can find our grab & go meals at the Woodstock, Seven Corners, Slabtown, and Williams @newseasonsmarket, as well as at the SOMA @kombuchaspeakeasy in St. John's!
Learning to cook your favorite foods, especially when you incorporate seasonal, local ingredients, cooking can really make a difference. While the satisfaction and taste of a home-cooked meal should be enough to persuade you to try your hand with a knife, perhaps there is stronger motivation to be had.
Learning to cook has been proved time and again to save you bundles of money.
Lots and lots of lettuce! Come see us and get some greens at the farmers market every Saturday from 9-1 @sfclocal downtown and @texasfarmersmarket Lakeline.
This piece of advice likely doesn't come as any shock; you've been encouraged to eat organic food for years. It is possible, however, that you were never told exactly why.
US organic food is required to adhere to certain standards that promote biodiversity, sustainability, natural plant fertilization, natural pest management, and soil integrity. All these standards in turn serve to encourage diversity and thereby health within American crops.
Sure, this explanation doesn't alleviate cost, but you can start small by switching to the organic equivalents of the Dirty Dozen, or the 12 most pesticide-heavy produce products.
Think about the true cost of Scottish salmon. Sure it might be $17.99 a pound, but you're forgetting to factor in a handful of hidden costs.
The Scottish salmon is dependent on foreign oil, has travelled thousands of miles to your plate, and does not support the local economy.
So why wouldn't you buy the local alternative? It will taste fresher, anyways.
Don't give up now carnivores! Hear me out here. I promise I'm not going to ask you to convert to vegetarian or vegan-ism. However, I do think you should be aware that meat production is responsible for 18 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
That being said, you do not have to give up meat entirely. Maybe only once a week? If it still seems like too much, check out #MeatlessMonday to give yourself a support system in making the change.
If you do choose to reduce your meat consumption, know that just one day less of meat a week can lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, in addition to reducing your carbon footprint and saving natural resources.
I know that those individually wrapped snacks are just so convenient. But really, does it make that much of a difference in your life to spend 30 seconds packaging your own snack in a reusable container?
Try to buy things in bulk instead of pre-packaged. Or if you do buy things that are already packaged, reuse that package. That spinach container is a great way to store leftovers.
Part of the reason that we spend so much on food and generate so much waste is that old, conventional culinary wisdom has ceased to be passed down. Now we judge a product's expiration by its printed "best if used by" date rather than our noses.
Likewise, no longer do we preserve nature's cheap and plentiful summertime bounty into jams and pickles. Nor do many of us structure our cooking schedules around leftovers. For example, my grandmother would cook meat on Sunday, serve it cold on Monday, and grind and freeze the rest on Tuesday.
By sitting down with your elders, you can rediscover some of these frugal tricks that can help keep costs and waste to a minimum.
Good evening. Tonight's #meatlessmonday dinner is butternut squash noodles sautéed in olive oil and garlic with an organic cage free egg, sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic bread made with buttery coconut oil. Topped with grated Parmesan, parsley and gourmet zesty citrus sea salt. So good!
Possibly the best way to reduce your impact on the environment, eating less also encourages you to prepare more thoughtful meals as well as enjoy them more.
For almost everyone, our waistlines will thank us too.

Step by step guide where to get New NDS ROMs for MacBook – Check Now
Kommentar verfassen / ROMs Games / Von hothey
The Premium version of the application strips away the ads but isn't strictly necessary for a good experience. Emulators are legal to download and use, however, sharing copyrighted ROMs online is illegal. There is no legal precedent for ripping and downloading ROMs for games you own, though an argument could be made for fair use. Gameshark and Action Replay cheat codes are not case sensitive, nor are spaces between numbers required. All codes listed are compatible with either accessory.
Insights Into Real-World Programs Of ROM Games
Starting from the next paragraph, you can read about his findings. Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure doesn't run especially well either. Seems the Game Boy Advance is trickier to emulate than one might expect. I will have to check if I can use the "Netplay" thing. I don't know if it's working if for exemple I use mGBA and a friend of mine gpSP.
Why not to find more about GameCube ROMs here.
The entire process is simpler than it sounds and all it takes are just a couple of minutes. Nintendo's retro revival has so far focused mostly on the classic boxes that you hooked to a TV, ignoring the portables that buoyed Nintendo when home consoles like the GameCube and Wii U faltered. While the emulator is definitely a great option, I ran into some audio lag during my time with it.
As of yet, it's the most complete GBA emulation effort, passing the older project VBA and its forks.
Game Boy ColorAccuracyHighly-AccurateWebsitemGBASupport ($)PatreonProgrammed inC, C++LicenseMPL v2.0Source codeGitHubmGBA is an open-source Game Boy/Color and Game Boy Advance emulator developed by endrift.
The GBA also received great ports of Final Fantasy I & II, Final Fantasy IV, and Final Fantasy V, but Final Fantasy VI rightfully earns a spot on our list.
Being written from scratch, it aims for speed, accuracy, and portability.
Those systems include Game Boy Classic, Super Game Boy, and Game Boy Color. A great Android GBA emulator, or really a great emulator in general, will prioritize emulation accuracy while also offering plenty of extra features. The most pressing of these features will include full gamepad support and save state management – especially when you want to be able to pick up, play and put away a GBA emulator at any time. mGBA is an open-source Game Boy Advance emulator, copyright © 2013–2020 Vicki Pfau.
Exploring Trouble-Free Systems Of GBA Games
To obtain this level of certification requires and demonstrates commitment to the profession, diverse knowledge of codes and a high-level of self-initiative. We recommend you to consider the above codes as general information to unlock your Samsung phones. It is better to ask the network provider to get it fixed if you have any problem. If you are having trouble using your Samsung Galaxy phone because it's locked, you should give Dr.Fone – Screen Unlock (Android) a try. It is a user-friendly and convenient way to fix all the issues with your Android device.
Advance Warsand its sequel, Black Hole Rising, arguably hold up better than any other GBA games, and they're both readily available on the Wii U right now. It's a shame that Nintendo hasn't released a new entry in the series since 2008's Days of Ruin for the DS. The e-reader was one of those goofy Nintendo peripherals that no one really bought, and was mostly useless except for one or two games. By attaching it to a second GBA and scanning proprietary cards into it, you could transfer it to a cartridge in a second GBA and unlock new content in a handful of games.

Qantas Airways sees record annual revenue
Qantas has posted a 2.3 per cent rise in third-quarter revenue and forecast record annual revenue, as more business travellers chose to fly with the airline.
The airline said group revenue rose to $4.4 billion in the third quarter ended March 31.
Qantas' overall market share of corporate travel revenue increased by 2.5 percentage points in the quarter to its highest level in three years.
Domestic demand has been mixed, with the corporate demand from the resource sector continuing to grow, chief executive Alan Joyce said.
Joyce, however, added that the company is "seeing increased softness in parts of the domestic corporate market for May and June".
The company also said it remained on track to fully offset the impact of significantly higher fuel costs, compared with last year.
In February, the airline reported a half-year underlying profit before tax of $780 million, its lowest since 2015 as a rise in international revenue failed to fully offset a margin squeeze from higher fuel prices.
Revenue per available seat kilometre, a measure that combines fares paid and the percentage of seats filled, grew by 5.5 per cent in the four months from January 1, 2019.
The company did not provide an outlook for underlying profit before tax, its most closely watched measure, for the fiscal year ending June 30.

I believe everyday objects communicate with us in a way that subtly holds sway over our daily actions. The ubiquity of the dining set and its saturated presence in antique stores, and thrift shops highlight past trends of a consumerist culture and the rise of the industrial faux handmade object. I re-work vintage silverplate using the traditional metalsmithing techniques of chasing and repoussé to embellish utensils, and trays with new imagery. This imagery illustrates animals living in our environment that we view as pests. For that reason, the insects represented on the silver are either extinct or have radically altered environments due to human actions.
The silver plated objects I chose had a previous life which can be seen on its scratched and worn surface. What intrigues me is the previous history unknown to me and the viewer. This history speaks of holiday dinners, weddings, special occasions, and ultimately the hawking of Grandma's silver because it does not fit with the new aesthetic. I take on the secondhand store challenge to give these objects a new life. In changing the function and imagery of the traditional machine made silverplate I propose a new way of viewing and engaging with the industrial made object and the increasing list of extinct species.
