After you decide how to implement the Testing Agent and determine the object model that the Testing Agent will support as described in Planning Your UFT Testing Agent, you can begin to implement UFT Testing Extensibility. The first step is to implement the ITestable interface defined in the UFT Extensibility Agent type library. This interface provides support for the most basic UFT capabilities.
The ITestable interface is the only interface in the Testing Extensibility SDK that is mandatory. By implementing this interface, you enable UFT to recognize objects and run GUI tests on applications developed in your environment. In addition, you support the retrieving of run-time values of test object identification properties and the adding of test objects to the object repository.
After implementing the ITestable interface, you can implement the additional interfaces in the UFT Testing Extensibility SDK. These support more advanced UFT capabilities such as Record, Active Screen, Object Spy, Highlight, and more. For more information, see Enhancing Your UFT Testing Agent.
The ITestable2 interface inherits ITestable and declares method FindObjectId2. Implement FindObjectId2 instead of FindObjectId to support UFT Smart Identification. For more information, see Implementing FindObjectId or FindObjectID2: Map a Description to an Object ID.
The ITestable3 interface inherits ITestable2 and declares method RunEx. Implement RunEx instead of Run if you want to add test-object related lines to the UFT run results.
If you implement the ITestable3 interface, then UFT also calls FindObjectID2 instead of FindObjectID. Make sure to implement this method even if you do not want to support Smart Identification.
Develop the Testing Agent's handshake with UFT.
Implement only the initial handshake between the Testing Agent and UFT. This enables UFT to recognize the testing environment so that you can write UFT GUI tests with objects and operations defined in your environment.
Create support for recognizing objects and running tests.
Implement the methods required for UFT to recognize a few objects and run tests.
Create support for retrieving identification property run-time values.
Implement the methods required for UFT to retrieve identification property run-time values from the application being tested.
Create support for learning objects.
Implement the methods required for UFT to learn objects and add them to the object repository.
Extend the support you created to include all of the objects in your environment.
Complete the definition of your testing environment to include all of the objects in your environment. Implement support for all of the test objects and operations in your environment. Implement any remaining methods in the ITestable interface.

Dungeon & Dragons' mechanics go Creative Commons while the Open Game License 1.2 is released
Wizards of the Coast has a new update about the future of Dungeons & Dragons concerning their Open Game License (OGL).
A draft version of an updated OGL was leaked causing an uproar in the Dungeons & Dragons community over changes that included fees and restrictions. Recently, the D&D team has walked it all back promising a "working conversation" that included feedback before anything new was released.
The latest update not only gives the first look at OGL 1.2 for feedback but the announcement that the core mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons will be given to the community through a Creative Commons license. Dungeons & Dragons' core mechanics are being released under Creative Commons 4.0.
Creative Commons is a nonprofit that is focused on sharing information and knowledge. It has created a set of licenses that are a set of rules under which material can be used (for example you must attribute the original person).
If you want to use something more specific, that's where the OGL 1.2 comes in which provides a "perpetual, irrevocable license to do so".
Launched in 2000 for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition, the license allowed the use of a portion of the game for third parties to create compatible material. During the 4th edition, there was a more restrictive royalty-free license called the Game System License which took away some freedoms from the original license (though that was irrevocable and remains in use). Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition returned to the OGL and featured additional licensing options by publishing through the Dungeon Masters Guild storefront which allowed for the sale of content and creators could name their own price with Wizards of the Coast and OneBookShelf taking 50% of the proceeds.
The updated OGL 1.2 allows the D&D team to address hateful content and only applies to published tabletop roleplaying game content. It also is irrevocable.
What's not present is royalty payments, financial reporting, registration, license-back, or a distinction between commercial and non-commercial. The announcement again reiterates that anything published under OGL 1.0a will continue to be so. There had been some headscratching questions concerting that.
You can read the full announcement and the Draft Open Game License 1.2 here. A survey is being released to gather feedback until February 3 and a new update will be released around February 17 and will continue until things are gotten "right".

For many hunters, one deer and done
// November 6, 2014
St. Paul — When the firearms deer-hunting season kicks off Saturday, hunters in many parts of the state will be dealing with something they may not have experienced in years – one-deer bag limits.
In 121 of the state's 128 permit areas, hunters may harvest only one deer this year. As a result, officials expect this year's total kill to be the lowest in years.
At the low end, they say, the kill could be around 120,000. But even if it's higher than that, they don't expect it to be much higher.
"I don't expect it to be up around 140,000," said Leslie McInenly, the DNR's big game program leader.
It's unclear how this year's conservative regulations – in 14 northeastern permit areas, hunters may shoot only bucks – will affect hunter numbers, though as of two weeks before the opener, license sales were running ahead of the past three years at the same time.
In some areas, hunters may be surprised by the number of deer they see, McInenly said. Reports from around the state indicate there was good fawn recruitment this year, but she also noted conservative regulations last year saved some deer.
"Numbers in some places may be higher than some folks are expecting," McInenly said.
This year's regulations are at least in part a response to complaints about deer numbers that some hunters perceive as too low. On the heels of last year's season, when hunters killed about 173,000 deer, the DNR and Minnesota Deer Hunters Association embarked on "listening sessions" across the state.
Though the DNR is in the process of re-evaluating deer-population goals in many parts of the state – and those goals have a direct influence on management – this year's regulations should help grow the herd.
"Clearly, there's a social component to it. We recognize there are some folks out there who are saying that numbers are way too low, and they want to turn this around today," McInenly said. "That's not going to happen. But for 2014, we could take a conservative approach and respond to some of those concerns."
The agency's management direction could change next season, depending on the outcome of the forthcoming goal-setting process. And in some areas, the response to this year's conservative regulations could be "pretty robust," she said.
"I don't think we'll be looking at this conservative of a season going on for a number of years," McInenly said.
The season in the 100 series of permit areas runs Nov. 8-23. In the 200 and 300 series, it runs Nov. 8-16. The late season in the southeastern part of the state runs Nov. 22-30. In the metro area – Permit Area 601 – the season runs Nov. 8-30.
Goal-setting process
The DNR is accepting applications from people who want to be part of the goal-setting process for a total of 40 permit areas in five parts of the state. The self-nomination period ends Monday, Nov. 17.
The DNR will create five advisory teams of 15 to 20 people per team. Participants will take part in one or two public meetings and two or three team meetings. All the meetings will be held in February and March of 2015.
Teams will be created for the following areas:
• Area 1 – Superior Uplands Arrowhead, which includes permit areas 117, 122, 126, 127, 180.
• Area 2 – North Central Plains Moraines, which includes permit areas 169, 172, 184, 197, 210, 298.
• Area 3 – Pine Moraines, which includes permit areas 241, 242, 246, 248, 251, 258, 259, 287.
• Area 4 – East Central Uplands, which includes permit areas 152, 155, 156, 157, 159, 183, 221, 222, 225, 247, 259.
• Area 5 – Sand Plain-Big Woods, which includes permit areas 223, 224, 227, 229, 235, 236, 249, 285, 338, 339.
"The advisory teams provide a great opportunity for DNR staff to work directly with citizens who are interested in deer management," McInenly said. "By bringing in diverse, local interests, the DNR aims to collectively identify deer population goals that are ecologically sustainable and socially acceptable."

Every hat company sizes differently, kind of like different shoe companies will size a bit differently. Because of this, if you want to buy one of our hats, you must follow our sizing instructions.
1. Get a cloth measuring tape (you can buy them at any local convenient store), and measure your head where you like to wear your hat. We recommend measuring around the widest part of your head, which should hit the middle of your forehead and be 1/4 - 1/2 inch above your ears.
2. Your measurement to the nearest 1/8 of an inch will have an equivalent to our sizing chart. Depending on what type of fit you desire, your hat size may be the same, but usually larger than your head measurement.
A lot of people are in between the sizes listed. You're in luck, we also make in between sizes.
3. What shape is your head? The shape of your head can greatly affect the way the hat feels. If you are a long oval, you need to specify that when you order the hat so we know to make an adjustment for you. What does long oval mean? We use a device called a conformiteur to get a reading of the shape of your head.
Top Left: Round, Top right: Long Oval, Bottom left: very small, normal shape, Bottom right: Peanut shape.
If you cannot come in to put our ancient device on your head, than the best way to tell if you are a long oval head is to put on straw or felt hat you have access to and see what the brim does. If the brim appears wavy along the sides, and/or the hat feels tight on the front of your head, than you are most likely a long oval. In this case, indicate this when you order your hat.
If you have any questions at all, call us: 415.221.5332! We can also video chat with you through skype or gmail if necessary.

AZLAN SHAH CUP
SAS 2008: India is unimpressive (5/9/2008)
On the day of the Azlan Shah hockey tournament after India lost the second match, this incident occurred. As the team was returning, a group of Indian supporters hurled choicest of language at the returning players. Our players were stunned they have been at the receiving end of hugely embarassing situation.
Those young boys were frustrated as India conceded five goals while it could manage only one goal against argentina. Like every other sports supporters, they are als hurt. India did not play well against Argentina, and we cannot dwell on those reasons right now even as the event is underway.
But in sports what counts is winning, not the drab statistics (we attacked more, we lost despite dominating) type of stfuf.
Last week in Kazan, Russia, I saw large number of Indian students coming to stadium and supporting the girls. They stood by the girls even as they played hardly to their potential.
But here the fans abuse the players.
IT is not the difference of country and people.
The students supported the girls unrelently because they got a life time of a chance to see a national team in their city.
But the Ipoh crowd is different in that they are seasoned watchers of the game, as they have been watching this tournament and other hockey events very keenly and closely.
That's why they could feel the difference between India and the rest.
Last year Pakistan finished sixth here, but are here back with a bang this time. They scored goals in regular interval against Pakistan and for a while it appeared the fight is between two inequals.
Having seen Pakistan in full flow in the match before India's encounter against Argentina, they were in fact expecting a similar fare from India, which was not there
That's why they were aggressive against th players.
Unfortunately, Indian team is mostly of young players and are preparing themselves for the forthcoming Junior Asia Cup. Strictly speaking, they should not have been here, but only the well-trained senior Indian team.
This is the same question an agitated ethnic Indian journalist asked in the press rooom: "whay always India bring a junior side?"
By doing all sort of avoidable things, we stand to lose on the sporting turfs
Will those who take decisions at top level know the type of trauma both the players and the supporting base go through when they lose the way they did in Ipoh on the second day - 1-5?

A reputable rubbish removal business typically will provide free estimations. The price depends on the amount of junk and kind of materials to be eliminated. Furthermore, applicable fees really should be included in the approximate, so there are not any surprises later on.
You can also rent dumpsters even if you are not redecorating. Some people do not want to take their rubbish away continuously so renting some sort of dumpster can save you time and energy. All your bin be put in the dumpster and according to how often it needs dumped the actual dumpster company can come empty the item for you.

A 10 yard dumpster will fit in ones need when the project treated is smaller like house renovation. You have to go for selecting the larger just one if you are controlling construction projects and manufacturing projects. Employing the right sort of dumpster will save you through paying for the disposable space in the dumpster.


A peaceful round of negotiations has yielded a new contract for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra musicians that will carry the orchestra through the 2020-21 season, it was announced Monday.
The new contract will build the ensemble back to full strength and provide built-in salary increases. The old contract was set to elapse in September of this year.
Statements from representatives for the musicians and management emphasized the civility of the process leading to the agreement.
"The musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra are pleased that respectful and productive negotiations resulted in this new contract," said cellist Daniel Laufer, chair of the Atlanta Symphony Players' Association.
That friendliness was in contrast to the bruising conflict between the orchestra and the Woodruff Arts Center, which led to lockouts in 2012 and 2014, picket lines, and harsh words. Ongoing deficits and deteriorating relations also brought about pay cuts, a shorter season and a shrinking orchestra.
By the time the fore-shortened 2014-15 season finally commenced, nine weeks late, the orchestra had dropped from 95 to 77 members.
But the new contract, hammered out that year, also included a commitment to raise $25 million in donations to endow 11 new positions in the orchestra. The musicians had to depend on the success of a fund-raising drive to bring their orchestra back to a viable size. "It was necessary to take a leap of faith," said Howard Palefsky, board chairman of the ASO.
That money was raised in short order, and six of the positions were filled by October 2016. Currently the orchestra is auditioning players to fill the last two open positions, which will bring the orchestra to an agreed-upon strength of 88 positions.
The new contract also includes a three percent annual pay increase for the musicians, which was underwritten by a contribution from a single anonymous donor.
The new contract will elapse at the same time that long-time director Robert Spano will take his leave of the orchestra. Spano will have served as music director for 20 years when he leaves his post in 2021.

The evaluation system that St. Johns County has adopted is made up of four domains, nine "design questions," and 60 elements. Those 60 elements are the individual skills that we teachers should be demonstrating to show that we're good at what we do. That means that, when the evaluation system is implemented to its fullest extent, our administrators could theoretically be looking for us to demonstrate up to 60 different skills.
Now, with all of that said, I think you'll find that many teachers understand and see a need for teacher accountability. Like any other professional, our supervisors need to know that we're doing our very best. So those of us who genuinely love teaching and really are doing our best, likely have little to worry about. However, to base part of our salary on factors that are out of our grasp is unfair, to say the very least. The "value added measure" (VAM) component claims to level the playing field, but how do you quantify a child's absence because he has to take care of his sick mom at home or because he didn't eat breakfast on the morning of the FCAT? Will the VAM level it to such an extent that a special needs student with Down's syndrome is on the same playing field as a gifted student taking AP Physics?
This situation is not the fault of our school administrators, nor is it the fault of our superintendent. (Imagine how much time it must take administrators to observe every teacher in the school 3-5 times a year! I'm sure they had plenty on their plate before all of this came along.) No, this system is due largely - if not entirely - to the efforts of Proctor, Sen. John Thrasher, and Governor He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
And so, parents of St. Johns County, if your child's teacher seems a little on edge, please know that we, "The 98.4 percent," are doing our very best, but we're dealing with quite a bit these days. The real tragedy is that the time for action has pretty much come and gone. Short of a repeal of SB 736, I'm afraid that merit pay for teachers is a reality that's here to stay. Still, if parents have concerns regarding how merit pay for teachers will affect their child's education, I encourage them to put in a call to Tallahassee; phone lines are now open.

A delivery system for a haemostatic material comprises a self adhesive strip of a bioadhesive, especially pectin and a glycerol plasticiser. The haemostatic material may be a microdispersed oxidised cellulose which is dispersed in the strip. The strip is applied to control localised bleeding from surface skin wounds such as shaving nicks or minor cuts. The pectin dissolves in the blood, releasing the haemostatic material to control the bleeding.

In one embodiment the microdispersed oxidised cellulose is present in an amount of from 24 to 30% by weight of the system.
In another embodiment the system comprises a preservative such as potassium sorbate.
In a further embodiment the strip has a thickness of less than 200 microns, preferably less than 100 microns. In one arrangement the strip has a thickness of from 58 to 70 microns.
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description thereof, given by way of example only.
The following formulation was prepared. All ingredients are in parts by weight.
Microdispersed Oxidised Cellulose 24 to 30%
(from Alltracel Pharma Limited)
Pectin 58% max
(from CP Kelco-food grade Genu type D slow set Z)
Glycerine 30% max
(any suitable food grade such as 99.5% grade
from Natural Chemicals Ltd)
Potassium Sorbate 0.4% max
(Food Grade)
The microdispersed oxidised cellulose is a calcium/sodium salt of a random copolymer of anhydroglucouse (β-D-glucopyranose) and anhydroglucuronic (β-D-glucopyranic) acid. The product is prepared as described in WO98/33822A, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference. The amount of oxidised cellulose released is about 20 to 30 g/m2 which simulates the average amount of the material which may be applied as a dusting powder onto a wound area. The microdispersed oxidised cellulose is characterised by a high specific area and in contact with blood or tissue fluids readily forms a gel-like mat.
The microdispersed oxidised cellulose permits an easy and uniform incorporation into a carrier film. Because of the localised delivery it may be possible to achieve the same results with lower loading of microdispersed oxidised cellulose such as 10 to 15%.
Microdispersed oxidised cellulose is the preferred haemostatic material in view of its purity, stability and compatibility with the carrier however other haemostatic materials (which may be derived from cellulose) may be used alternatively or additionally.
The microdispersed oxidised cellulose material is intimately blended with the pectin, glycerol and potassium sorbate, and filtered. A thin film of the mixture is continuously applied to and spread onto a release paper and then air-dried. The product is then wound into a reel and subsequently the desired strips are cut to single strips about 20×30 mm, weight 50 to 60 mg and a thickness of 58 to 70 microns. A number of individual strips are then packed in a box.
The strips are intended for use as a means to help control minor bleeding from surface skin wounds such as shaving nicks, or minor cuts. They are intended for sale over-the-counter to both laymen patients and carers.
In use, the wound area is cleaned. An individual strip is removed from the box, applied directly over the wound area, and held in place for a few seconds. The portion of the strip in contact with the blood dissolves, releasing the microdispersed oxidised cellulose. When bleeding has stopped any remaining part of the strip maybe peeled off.
Pectin is the preferred carrier because it is a polysaccharide of plant origin with no known safety risks. There may be potential risks associated with animal based alternatives such as gelatine.
It is anticipated that plasticisers other than glycerine may be used. Similarly a preservative other that potassium sorbate may be used.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments herein before described which may be varied in detail.

Last evening we held the first meetup.
There were two of us. That's right — two. Myself and a gentleman called Glen.
I nonetheless consider it a success.
For one thing, the food was great, and we had an interesting conversation about our mutual philosophies and our individual takes about technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Glen is a veteran of the tech industry with a rich experience.
We both see eye-to-eye regarding the ideology of our Meetup group, The Toronto Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
Let me state what that is: we are fostering a tight-knit and supportive startup community in Toronto based on the idea of giving-before-getting.
A least now there is a small nucleus from which we can grow this thing.
Glen and I shall both talk to other people about the group.
And it will be great to gradually have more people join us.
So I encourage everyone to decide to take some part in making the Toronto startup community really bond together — even if you'd end up not joining our particular endeavor.
All it takes is a "why not" attitude and a mindset to get involved without expecting nothing specific or concrete in return. Karma will take care of that.
Building such a community is a long term effort. It doesn't have to start with a bang — if members who truly share the ethos get added bit by bit over time, the results will be pretty dramatic.
And this effort is not just about the meetups themselves. It is about fostering a vibrant group which will subsequently communicate using multiple channels to stay connected.


Our Hearthstone talent Dima "Rdu" Radu has written a blog with his thoughts about the changes that Blizzard has made to the Hearthstone World Championship Tour, which include bigger prize pools, more offline events and an altered Conquest format.
Last week, Blizzard announced several changes to the Hearthstone World Championship tour in terms of qualification and ranked points. In addition to boosting the prize money for the World Championship to $1 million, Blizzard will be hosting more offline events, giving players more opportunities to put their skills to the test and providing fans with more quality matches to watch.
"First of all, I really like that Blizzard will make bigger prize pools by reinvesting some of the profit that they accumulated from the game during the year, which will potentially bring more players in for the race to BlizzCon. Having a system with majors is really good for the health of the professional scene because we don't have to rely on third parties to organize all the big tournaments.
Compared to the chaotic qualifying system that we had last year, this one seems more straightforward and entertaining for the viewers. Having every season champion go directly to BlizzCon makes it so that every player participating has won a major beforehand and makes the competition more fierce while creating interesting stories for the viewers. Now, don't think that everything is going to be perfect. The biggest issue with qualifying for blizzcon is that, from a player's point of view, getting top 8 in a 128-man double elimination followed up by getting top two in the group is very unlikely to happen. If you add to that a four-man single-elimination to decide who gets the ticket to BlizzCon and you get yourself a 'clown fiesta'. However, I very much like the fact that every round of the tournament will be played on LAN, therefore preventing potential cheating and the use of tracking programs while also testing the nerves of the players on a LAN environment.
What I like about the improvement to the tournament set up is that we will have more big tournaments that give away a good amount of money and also give players the chance to become known in the scene. This leads to new rising stars and also to professional players consolidating their position.
What I don't like is that again, from a player perspective, individual players have very little chance to shine in 200-man tournaments.
Talking about the game format, even though 90%+ of the pro scene and a big percentage of the viewers don't like conquest, Blizzard has decided to keep a modified version of it as the official format at least for the next three months. Since big open cups will be already hard enough to win, adding conquest to it just makes it even harder for better players to beat lower skill level players. Conquest doesn't provide any outside-the-box strategy and also leaves players with no impact on their matchup selection, which leaves them only with the hope that it eventually evens out. Too bad if you queue two bad match ups in a row in an elimination game of a tournament. The positive aspect of the modified conquest is that the ban works really well in the conquest format since it helps you further solidify your line up and tech it better against what you want to face while not allowing people to just pick their best three ladder decks and jam them in a major.
The last thing that I don't like about this subject is that combining GSL style groups with conquest is very bad since if you face the same guy twice while also possibly having a stacked group, your chances of advancing are close to 0. We saw that at blizzcon, where even though Lifecoach made a really good meta call and went anti-freeze Mage for BlizzCon, he got a group with 0 freeze mages and lost twice to Kranich.The solution to this is to apply what some other games do: playing opponents from different groups at the score of 1-1 (crossing groups), therefore easily fixing the issues with facing the same guy twice and having stacked groups while still keeping the GSL style groups. I also like the fact that they gave themselves the option of changing the format every three months and I would love to see a new format in three months to bring some fresh air to the scene. Also the fact that Blizzard encourages organizers to make tournaments in diverse formats is really cool for the game and gives better players some more ways to shine.
Talking about majors that give BlizzCon points: I think only a few big tournaments will be fully open and give points since they have to run in (possibly) a Swiss format while still attracting the pro players to come and play for a big prize pool so that they can also achieve their viewership goals. I expect that a lot of tournaments will be full invitational while only companies like ESL and Dreamhack will have the big open cups. I want to make another bold and dark prediction: I think that BlizzCon points will matter less this year since the only major advantage of having a lot of them is that, after nine monthsm you will play an eight-man tournament from where 1 player qualifies and the other 7 are sad and salty because they grinded tons of tournaments for nothing. I think that the best approach is to try hard ladder every season and play all majors while playing zero online cups (this comes from a guy who won a lot of points last year by grinding and playing all the open cups for a minimal advantage).This would guarantee top 128 every 3 months and eventually even a top 8 at the end depending on how well the majors and ladder go.


I had a chance again to repair the Samsung S7390 Trend Lite after swimming in sea water, after the general recovery remained faulty camera error "Unexpected error. Restart your phone " .
By simple inspection, found that there is no supply voltage of 1.8 volts camera. Responsible for it marked on the stabilizer circuit phone Samsung S8500 as N1515 , unfortunately without any labeling. First I would like to power the camera from the voltage VIO is also 1.8 volts, the camera certainly earned after I gave food, but the phone went to reboot after a few seconds the camera.

Added the defines LGI_LITTLE_ENDIAN and LGI_BIG_ENDIAN for compiling byte order specific code.
Added the GIccProfile class to read/write ICC colour profiles.
Fixed the rops to write in non-pre-multiplied colour.
Fixed it not outputting the right most column of pixels when the bound box is sub-pixel.
Fixed it compositing the bottom scanline over the scanline above it.
Documented GFilter, GFilterFactory, GFontSystem and their attendant defines.
Added GFont::GetWeight() and GFont::SetWeight(). Bold(...) now just reuses the Weight.
Fixed too many OnMouseExit/OnMouseEnter events.
Ripped out the the old GXml library and converted all of Lgi over to the new GXmlTree (DOM style) XML parser. This will break some lgi.conf files, but it'll be easy enough to convert them over. Now they are closer to correct XML. This change effects the Config system in the GApp object.
Added a GXmlToUi class that builds on the GXmlTree classes to add support to mapping element attributes to dialog controls. This lets you store dialog values into XML really easily. This system will become the default way of serializing dialogs, taking over from DataDlgTools which uses the GProperties prop collection. Usage is basically a matter of adding the Attribute <-> Ctrl ID mappings to the GXmlToUi object then you can call Serialize with the window object and it'll "Just Work(TM)".
[Win32] Fixed deleting hidden/system/read-only files with GFileSystem::DeleteFiles, and also fixed deleting files with accented names.
[Win32] Fixed LgiMsg crashing on really long messages.
[Cygwin] Lgi now builds on cygwin.
Fixed the accelerator binding for the Backspace key.
Fixed the mouse/key hook system so that you can add a GWindow without a crash.
Fixed dropping files with unicode paths onto Lgi apps.
[Mac] Added the half finished mac port.

Q: Apply CSS change to a whole class at once with JavaScript I want to make a change to all elements in a class using JavaScript.
Currently it looks like this:
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName(classToChange);

for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    elements[i].style.fontFamily = newFont;
}

My question is, is there a way to apply the new CSS property to the entire class at once (without making a new CSS style rule) or can it only be done by looping through the elements individually?

A: You can change or add new css rules with Javascript like this

var style = document.styleSheets[0].cssRules || document.styleSheets[0].rules;
for (var i = 0; i < style.length; i++) {
  if (style[i].selectorText == '.classToChange') {
    style[i].style['font-size'] = '50px';
  }
}
.classToChange {
  color: blue;
}

Justia Dockets & Filings Ninth Circuit California Eastern District Korndobler, et al. v. DNC Parks & Resorts Filing 23
Korndobler, et al. v. DNC Parks & Resorts
MEMORANDUM Decision and ORDER re: Defendant's 12 Motion to Dismiss, signed by District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill on 6/18/15. Amended Complaint Due Within Fourteen Days. (Marrujo, C)
1 2 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 5 6 MARTIN KORNDOBLER, et al. Plaintiffs, 7 MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS (Doc. 12) v. 8 9 1:15-cv-00459 LJO SKO DNC PARKS & RESORTS AT SEQUOIA, and DOES 1-100, 10 Defendants. 11 12 I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT TO PARTIES AND COUNSEL 13 Judges in the Eastern District of California carry the heaviest caseloads in the nation, and this 14 Court is unable to devote inordinate time and resources to individual cases and matters. Given the 15 shortage of district judges and staff, this Court addresses only the arguments, evidence, and matters 16 necessary to reach the decision in this order. The parties and counsel are encouraged to contact the 17 offices of United States Senators Feinstein and Boxer to address this Court's inability to accommodate 18 the parties and this action. The parties are required to reconsider consent to conduct all further 19 proceedings before a Magistrate Judge, whose schedules are far more realistic and accommodating to 20 parties than that of U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill, who must prioritize criminal and older civil 21 cases. 22 Civil trials set before Judge O'Neill trail until he becomes available and are subject to suspension 23 mid-trial to accommodate criminal matters. Civil trials are no longer reset to a later date if Judge O'Neill 24 is unavailable on the original date set for trial. Moreover, this Court's Fresno Division randomly and 25 1 1 without advance notice reassigns civil actions to U.S. District Judges throughout the nation to serve as 2 visiting judges. In the absence of Magistrate Judge consent, this action is subject to reassignment to a 3 U.S. District Judge from outside the Eastern District of California. II. INTRODUCTION 4 Plaintiffs Martin Korndobler, Stephen Ernst, Matt Miller, Christopher Cruz and Greg Chaney are 5 6 current or former employees of Defendant DNC Parks & Resorts at Sequoia ("DNC"), a concessioner 7 operating in Sequoia National Park ("SNP"). Plaintiffs allege that Defendant is liable under the Fair 8 Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., California's Unfair Trade Practices Act 9 ("CUTPA"), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq., and California Labor Code §§ 1194, 1164.2 & 10 1197.1 for failure to pay minimum and overtime wages for on-call work. III. FACTUAL BACKGROUND1 11 Plaintiffs have all worked in the maintenance department of Defendant's operations in SNP. 12 13 Compl. ¶¶ 3, 10-14. Their duties include maintaining and repairing facilities and snow removal. Id. 14 Plaintiffs work "several" shifts a week on an on-call basis. Id. at ¶ 19. On-call shifts begin with the end 15 of one day's shift and continue through the beginning of the next day's shift, lasting between 14 and 16 16 hours. Id. at ¶¶ 19, 29. During these shifts, Plaintiffs must carry and monitor radios and remain within 17 the range of the radio's range (between a half and two miles of Defendant's operation). Id. at ¶¶ 20-21. 18 Plaintiffs must respond within 15 minutes for a maintenance call and within 30 minutes for a snow 19 removal call. Id. at ¶ 22. Plaintiffs must remain ready to work during these periods. Id. 20 Plaintiffs are not paid a wage for time spent waiting for calls. Id. at ¶ 23. Rather, they are only 21 paid for work performed when they are called out and clocked in to perform work on a recorded work 22 order. Id. Plaintiffs allege that at times they have been called in, but not paid, because work orders were 23 cancelled prior to their arrival. Id. Plaintiffs also allege that they are often called for technical advice for 24 25 1 These background facts are drawn from complaints submitted by the five plaintiffs, the truth of which the court must accept for purposes of a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. 2 1 which they are not paid. Id. Plaintiffs are subject to discipline if they fail to respond to a call. Id. During 2 the winter months, Plaintiffs are required to perform storm watch shifts in addition to maintenance call 3 shifts. Id.at ¶ 24. While on storm watch shifts, Plaintiffs are subject to the same constraints as they are 4 during maintenance call shifts. Id. at ¶¶ 24-26. 5 IV. PROCEDURAL HISTORY 6 Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on March 25, 2015. Compl., Doc. 1. On April 30, 2015, 7 Defendant DNC Parks moved to dismiss Plaintiffs' state law claims pursuant to Fed R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) 8 on the basis that they do not apply to activities in national parks under the Federal Enclave doctrine. 9 Def.'s Mot. to Dismiss ("MTD"), Doc. 12.

Defendant replied on June 8, 2015. Def.'s Reply ("Reply"), Doc. 20. A hearing 12 was originally scheduled for June 15, 2015, but was taken off calendar pursuant to Local Rule 230(g). 13 14 V. STANDARD OF DECISION A motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) is a challenge to the sufficiency of the 15 allegations set forth in the complaint. A 12(b)(6) dismissal is proper where there is either a "lack of a 16 cognizable legal theory" or "the absence of sufficient facts alleged under a cognizable legal theory." 17 Balisteri v. Pacifica Police Dept., 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990). In considering a motion to dismiss 18 for failure to state a claim, the court generally accepts as true the allegations in the complaint, construes 19 the pleading in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion, and resolves all doubts in the 20 pleader's favor. Lazy Y. Ranch LTD v. Behrens, 546 F.3d 580, 588 (9th Cir. 2008). 21 To survive a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, the plaintiff must allege "enough facts to state a claim 22 to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). "A claim 23 has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the 24 reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 25 662, 678 (2009). "The plausibility standard is not akin to a 'probability requirement,' but it asks for 3 1 more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully." Id. (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 2 556). "Where a complaint pleads facts that are 'merely consistent with' a defendant's liability, it 'stops 3 short of the line between possibility and plausibility for entitlement to relief.'" Id. (quoting Twombly, 4 550 U.S. at 557). "While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual 5 6 allegations, a plaintiff's obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief' requires more 7 than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." 8 Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555 (internal citations omitted). Thus, "bare assertions . . . amount[ing] to nothing 9 more than a 'formulaic recitation of the elements' . . . are not entitled to be assumed true." Iqbal, 556 10 U.S. at 681. In practice, "a complaint . . . must contain either direct or inferential allegations respecting 11 all the material elements necessary to sustain recovery under some viable legal theory." Twombly, 550 12 U.S. at 562. In other words, the Complaint must describe the alleged misconduct in enough detail to lay 13 the foundation for an identified legal claim. 14 To the extent that the pleadings can be cured by the allegation of additional facts, the plaintiff 15 should be afforded leave to amend. Cook, Perkiss and Liehe, Inc. v. Northern California Collection 16 Serv. Inc., 911 F.2d 242, 247 (9th Cir. 1990) (citations omitted). VI. ANALYSIS 17 18 A. Whether Plaintiffs Have Viable State Wage Law Claims 19 1. 20 The Federal Enclave Clause provides that: 21 22 23 24 Legal Background of the Federal Enclave Doctrine The Congress shall have power . . . To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise [18] like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings . . . 25 4 1 U.S. Const. Art. I § 8, cl. 17. Only federal law applies on a federal enclave under exclusive federal 2 jurisdiction, except to the extent Congress has otherwise provided. Pacific Coast Dairy v. Department of 3 Agriculture of California, 318 U.S. 285, 294 (1943). State laws which existed at the time of cession 4 remain in force unless they are abrogated by Congress. Id. "This assures that no area however small will 5 be left without a developed legal system for private rights." James Stewart & Co. v. Sadrakula, 309 U.S. 6 94, 100 (1940). Because the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction, such laws become federal 7 laws. Id. Subsequently enacted state laws have no effect in the enclave unless they are adopted by 8 Congress or the state expressly reserved jurisdiction over such matters. Paul v. United States, 371 U.S. 9 245, 269 (1963) (current regulations are effective if "the same basic scheme" was in effect at the time of 10 transfer). "[A]n authorization of state regulation is found only when and to the extent there is a clear 11 congressional mandate, specific congressional action that makes this authorization of state regulation 12 clear and unambiguous." Hancock v. Train, 426 U.S. 167, 167 (1976) (internal quotations omitted). 13 The United States assumed "sole and exclusive jurisdiction" over the areas that became Sequoia 14 and Yosemite National Parks on June 2, 1920. 16 U.S.C.A. § 57; see also Collins v. Yosemite Park & 15 Curry Co., 304 U.S. 518, 525-26 (1938). California reserved the right to serve civil or criminal process, 16 "to tax persons and corporations, their franchises and property on the lands," and to collect fees for 17 fishing licenses in these areas. 16 U.S.C. § 57. 18 2. Whether 36 C.F.R. § 8.4 Authorizes the Enforcement of State Laws in National Parks 19 National Park Service regulations state that "[a] concessioner shall comply with all standards 20 established pursuant to Federal or State labor laws, such as those concerning minimum wages, child 21 labor, hours of work, and safety, that apply in the State in which the concession facility is located." 36 22 C.F.R. § 8.4. Plaintiffs argue that through this regulation, the Secretary of the Interior incorporated state 23 labor laws into the federal law applicable to all national parks, under authority vested to him under the 24 National Park Services Act and the National Park Service Concessions Management Act (collectively, 25 5 1 the "Park Acts." Opposition at 5-7.2 Defendant argues that Section 8.4 does not give Plaintiffs the power 2 to enforce state labor laws because it is not a "clear and unambiguous" congressional statement of intent. 3 Reply at 2. In Goodyear Atomic Corp. v. Miller, 486 U.S. 174, 182, (1988), the Supreme Court found that a 4 5 statute that applied state worker's compensation laws to federal properties "provide[d] the requisite clear 6 congressional authority." This statute described that state workers compensation officials "shall have the 7 power and authority to apply such laws to all lands and premises owned or held by the United States of 8 America . . . to the same extent as if said premises were under the exclusive jurisdiction of the State 9 within whose exterior boundaries such place may be." Id. (quoting 40 U.S.C.A. § 290 (1988)). The Park Acts provided that the Secretary of the Interior "shall make and publish such rules and 10 11 regulations as he may deem necessary or proper for the use and management of the parks, monuments, 12 and reservations under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service." 16 U.S.C. § 3 (2013). Congress 13 however also included language that controlled the enforcement of these regulations. Originally, 14 punishment was limited to what was "provided for in section 50 of the Act entitled 'An Act to codify 15 and amend the Penal Laws of the United States . . .'" Id. This was amended in 1920 to be "a fine of not 16 more than $500 or imprisonment for not exceeding six months, or both, and [the] adjudged to pay all 17 costs of the proceedings." Id. The Court reads these statutes as indicating an absence of a Congressional 18 intent to subject Park lands to state authority, or to vest power in the Secretary of the Interior to allow 19 the Secretary to do so on behalf of Congress. While the Secretary has broad authority to manage the 20 Parks and write regulations, Congress limited the enforcement of these regulations to federal actions. 21 Because Congress has "directly spoken to the precise question at issue," that is the end of the matter. 22 Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 842 (1984). 23 24 25 2 Laws enacted pursuant to these acts were replaced under PL-113-287, effective December 19, 2014. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND RELATED PROGRAMS, PL 113-287, December 19, 2014, 128 Stat 3094. Savings provisions in 2014 Act preserve the integrity of regulations enacted under the Park Acts. Id. § 6(f). 6 1 3. Whether the State Laws Existed When The Enclave Was Created 2 Plaintiffs argue that the California statutes at issue in this case are part of the same "basic 3 scheme" of wage laws that existed at the time the Parks were ceded to the United States. Opposition at 4 7-10. Plaintiffs seek to recover under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200, et seq., and California Labor 5 Code §§ 1194, 1164.2 & 1197.1. Compl. ¶¶ 60, 66-67. 6 According to the statute, CUPTA was enacted in 1977. While Plaintiffs argue that state 7 minimum wage laws date back to 1913, as discussed below, they make no such argument that CUPTA, 8 or its provisions that might make wage violations enforceable as an unfair business practice do so. In 9 fact, they do not. Thus, the Court GRANTS Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Cause of 10 Action. Defendant also argues that Plaintiffs assert labor rights that were folded into law after SNP was 11 12 ceded. MTD at 10-11; Reply at 6. Plaintiffs do not contest that their claims for liquidated damages and 13 penalties arise out of laws adopted in 1991 and 1983, respectively. Cal. Lab. Code §§ 1194.2 & 1197.1. 14 Thus, the Court agrees that these claims fail as well. Plaintiffs' minimum wage claims are not so straightforward. As both parties recognize, 15 16 California has had minimum wage laws since 1913. Stats. 1913, ch. 324, §§ 12-13, p. 635-637. Plaintiffs 17 argue that these laws continue to apply in SNP. In Paul, 371 U.S. 245, the Supreme Court considered 18 the enforceability of California state milk price regulations on federal military installations. The Court 19 held that if state milk regulations were in effect at the time that the lands were ceded to the United 20 States, then they could be enforced on installations to the extent that they did not conflict with federal 3 21 procurement laws. Id. at 269. The Court also found that it made no difference that the price regulations 22 differed from those at the time the lands were ceded so long as the "same basic scheme" was in effect. 23 Id. 24 25 3 These facts could not be determined from the record before the Paul Court. Id. 7 California's 1913 laws created a private right of action under which employees could recover 1 2 damages against their employers: "Any employee receiving less than the minimum wage applicable to 3 such an employee shall be entitled to recover in a civil action the unpaid balance of the full amount of 4 such minimum wage, together with costs of suit, notwithstanding any agreement to work for such lesser 5 wage." Stats. 1913, ch. 324§ 13, p. 637. The current law reads: "Notwithstanding any agreement to work 6 for a lesser wage, any employee receiving less than the legal minimum wage or the legal overtime 7 compensation applicable to the employee is entitled to recover in a civil action the unpaid balance of the 8 full amount of this minimum wage or overtime compensation, including interest thereon, reasonable 9 attorney's fees, and costs of suit." Cal. Lab. Code § 1194(a). As the California Supreme Court has 10 recognized, "[v]irtually the same statutory and regulatory remains in place today." Martinez v. Combs, 11 49 Cal. 4th 35, 55-56 (2010), as modified (June 9, 2010) (discussing history of California's minimum 12 wage provisions). Defendant does not argue that the current minimum wage provisions are not of the 4 13 same "basic scheme" as those in the 1913 laws. Moreover, the Court is persuaded by the California 14 Supreme Court's findings that the laws are "virtually the same." Id. Thus, this Court concludes that 15 California's minimum wage laws remain in force at SNP. Defendant argues that case law recognizing the right to be compensated for on-call time did not 16 17 come about until 1944. Reply at 6. Defendant claims that the this right was established by the Supreme 18 Court in Armour & Co. v. Wantock, 323 U.S. 126, 133 (1944). Defendant must not have read this case 19 very closely, though, because Armour relies on a 1913 Supreme Court case for its conclusion "[t]hat 20 inactive duty may be duty nonetheless is not a new principal invented for application to this Act." Id. 21 (quoting Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas v. United States, 231 U.S. 112, 119 (1913)). The 1913 case, 22 in turn, relies on an even earlier case for its conclusion that railroad workers "were none the less on duty 23 when inactive. Their duty was to stand and wait." 231 U.S. at 119 (quoting United States v. Chicago, M. 24 25 4 Notably, the 1913 labor laws applied to women and children only. This language was made gender-neutral in 1972. However, neither party argued that the gender disparity present in the 1913 law should affect the Court's analysis of whether the laws currently in place are of the "basic scheme." Thus, the Court leaves this question for another time. 8 1 & P. S. Ry. Co., 197 F. 624, 628 (E.D. Wash. 1912)). Thus, the Court finds this argument unpersuasive. 2 Finally, Defendant argues that Plaintiffs' minimum wage claims cannot be applied in SNP 3 because they conflict with federal law. MTD at 11. Defendant relies on Mersnick v. USProtect Corp. for 4 the theory that claims under Cal. Labor Code §§ 201-203 are barred by the Federal Enclave Doctrine 5 because the FLSA "provides for minimum standards for both wages and overtime entitlement, and 6 delineates administrative procedures by which covered worktime must be compensated." No. C-06- 7 03993 RMW, 2006 WL 3734396, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2006). Plaintiffs, however, do not seek to 8 recover under these statutes. Moreover, the FLSA clearly allows states to establish and enforce higher minimum wages: 9 10 11 12 13 14 No provision of this chapter or of any order thereunder shall excuse noncompliance with any Federal or State law or municipal ordinance establishing a minimum wage higher than the minimum wage established under this chapter or a maximum work week lower than the maximum workweek established under this chapter, and no provision of this chapter relating to the employment of child labor shall justify noncompliance with any Federal or State law or municipal ordinance establishing a higher standard than the standard established under this chapter. 29 U.S.C.A. § 218. The Ninth Circuit has not weighed in on whether FLSA might "conflict" with state laws in 15 16 federal enclaves. It has, however, considered this issue in the context of maritime law. Pac. Merch. 5 17 Shipping Ass'n v. Aubry, 918 F.2d 1409, 1420 (9th Cir. 1990). In that case the Ninth Circuit found that 18 "Congress has specifically allowed states to enforce overtime laws more generous [sic] than the FLSA, 19 29 U.S.C. § 218(a), and we find no indication that Congress intended that maritime employees not 20 benefit from more generous state wage and hour laws." Id. The Ninth Circuit has since described this 21 case as relying "on the principle that FLSA sets a floor rather than a ceiling on protective legislation." 22 Wang v. Chinese Daily News, Inc., 623 F.3d 743, 760 (9th Cir. 2010) (vacated on other grounds). 23 Similarly, the Ninth Circuit has also recognized that the purpose of FLSA is "to enact minimum wage 24 25 5 "The rule on preemption in admiralty is that states may supplement federal admiralty law as applied to matters of local concern, so long as state law does not actually conflict with federal law or interfere with the uniform working of the maritime legal system." Id. at 1422 (emphasis in original). 9 1 and maximum hour provisions designed to protect employees." Williamson v. Gen. Dynamics Corp., 2 208 F.3d 1144, 1153-54 (9th Cir. 2000). In light of the Ninth Circuit's recognition of FLSA as providing 3 a "floor rather than a ceiling" on minimum wage issues and Congress's clear statement the FLSA shall 4 not "excuse noncompliance with any . . . State law . . . establishing a minimum wage higher than the 5 [federal] minimum wage," this Court cannot see how requiring concessionaires to comply with 6 California's minimum wage laws conflicts with FLSA. 7 For the reasons discussed above, the Court GRANTS Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' 8 Third Cause of Action. The Court DENIES Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Fourth Cause of 9 Action, to the extent that it is brought under Cal. Labor Code § 1194. Plaintiffs' claims arising under Cal 10 Labor Codes §§ 1164.2 and 1197.1 are dismissed. No leave to amend is granted the dismissed claims, 11 because further amendment would be futile. 12 B. Whether Korndobler's FLSA Claims are Time-Barred 13 Defendant argues that Plaintiff Korndobler's claims are time-barred by the FLSA's two-year 14 statute of limitations. MTD at 11-13; Reply at 7-10. Plaintiffs claim that Korndobler's claims are viable 15 because a three year limitations period applies when a claim arises out of a "willful violation." 16 Opposition at 10-12. 17 The FLSA provides that "every such action shall be forever barred unless commenced within 18 two years after the cause of action accrued, except that a cause of action arising out of a willful violation 19 may be commenced within three years after the cause of action accrued." 29 U.S.C.A. § 255(a). To 20 prove a "willful violation," a plaintiff must show that an employer "knew or showed reckless disregard 21 for the matter of whether its conduct was prohibited by the FLSA." McLaughlin v. Richland Shoe Co., 22 486 U.S. 128, 130 (1988) (emphasis in original) (quoting Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Thurston, 469 23 U.S. 111 (1985). "Mere negligence by the employer in determining its legal obligation is not sufficient; 24 there must be evidence that the employer affirmatively knew it was violating the FLSA or that it was 25 acting with 'reckless disregard' of the FLSA." Nelson v. Waste Mgmt. of Alameda Cnty., Inc., 33 F. 10 1 App'x 273, 274 (9th Cir. 2002). At the pleading stage, however, "a plaintiff need not allege willfulness 2 with specificity." Rivera v. Peri & Sons Farms, Inc., 735 F.3d 892, 902 (9th Cir. 2013). 3 Defendant cites to two cases as examples where Courts have dismissed FLSA claims that did not 4 assert factual premises that defendants acted willfully. MTD at 12-14. First, in Morgovsky v. AdBrite, 5 Inc., the Northern District of California found an employer's email explaining that "he expects 6 employees to put in '9–10 hours' and 'to give more than the typical 9–5 job'" did not "provide a factual 7 basis which plausibly suggests that Defendants' alleged FLSA violation was willful." No. C 10-05143 8 SBA, 2012 WL 1595105, at *6 (N.D. Cal. May 4, 2012). Similarly, in Thompson v. N. Am. Terrazzo, 9 Inc., the Western District of Washington found a plaintiff's allegations that employers "intentionally and 10 purposefully den[ied] overtime pay which had been owed to plaintiffs" and did not allege the factual 11 basis for the employer's "knowledge or reckless disregard that its conduct was prohibited by the FLSA." 12 C13-1007RAJ, 2014 WL 2048188, at *6 (W.D. Wash. May 19, 2014). 13 In their Opposition, Plaintiffs argue that their Complaint lays out a basis on which a jury could 14 conclude that DNC's failure was not "mere negligence, but clear policy designed to minimize its costs at 15 the expense of employees." Opposition at 11. Plaintiffs, however, fail to identify where such a policy is 16 alleged. Plaintiffs also point to examples of cases where willfulness has been found on the basis of an 17 employer's large size, complex operations, or sophistication. Id. Again, however, the Complaint is silent 18 on these issues. Rather, the only examples of willfulness that Plaintiffs identify in the Complaint are the 19 facts alleging the violations themselves. Opposition at 11. In light of the Supreme Court's holding that 20 there is "a significant distinction between ordinary violations and willful violations," this Court cannot 21 find that alleging only the facts of the underlying violations can support a finding that the three- year 22 period applies. McLaughlin, 486 U.S. at 130. 23 Plaintiffs also argue that their claims should be tolled for equitable reasons. Opposition at 11-12. 24 Equitable tolling applies in situations "where the claimant has actively pursued his judicial remedies by 25 filing a defective pleading during the statutory period, or where the complainant has been induced or 11 1 tricked by his adversary's misconduct into allowing the filing deadline to pass." Irwin v. Dep't of 2 Veterans Affairs, 498 U.S. 89, 96 (1990). Plaintiffs allege that their claims were tolled when they filed 3 claims for relief with the state court (which were dismissed under pursuant to Federal Enclave issues). 4 Opposition at 12. This argument fails. As Defendant points out, Plaintiffs allege that Korndobler ended 5 his employment for DNC in August 2012. Compl. ¶ 10. Plaintiffs did not file their state court case until 6 November of 2014. Req. For Judicial Notice, Doc. 13, Ex. B, at 47. Thus, Korndobler's claims were 7 barred at this time. 8 9 For the above reasons, the Court GRANTS Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' First and Second Causes of Action to the extent that they are based on Korndobler's claims. 10 VII. CONCLUSION AND ORDER 11 For the reasons discussed above the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART 12 Defendant's motion to dismiss, Doc. 12, as follows: 13 The Court GRANTS Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Cause of Action, without 14 leave to amend. 15 The Court DENIES Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Fourth Cause of Action, to the 16 extent that it is brought under Cal. Labor Code § 1194. 17 The Court GRANTS Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' Fourth Cause of Action, to the 18 extent that it is brought under Cal Labor Codes §§ 1164.2 and 1197.1, without leave to amend. 19 The Court GRANTS Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' First and Second Causes of 20 Action to the extent that they are based on Korndobler's claims. Plaintiffs are granted leave to amend 21 these claims. 22 Plaintiffs shall file any amended complaint within 14 calendar days of this order. No later than 23 21 days after service of any amended complaint, Defendant shall file a response thereto. Plaintiffs are 24 cautioned that this will be the last opportunity to amend. 25 Plaintiffs should only amend if amendment will not be futile based on the law and holding in this 12 1 Order. This court does not have the resources to review and write extensive orders on how to write, 2 rewrite and submit pleadings. This order gives the proper direction for the last time. 3 4 5 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: /s/ Lawrence J.

Legal & General has announced plans to create 171 build to rent homes in Bath, taking its total housing pipeline to over 70,000 properties.
The development will be situated on brownfield land in the Bath City Riverside Enterprise Area and will include 17,000 sq fr of retail space. LGIM Real Assets purchased the site for £47.5m on behalf of its build to rent fund, together with its joint venture partnership between Legal & General Capital (LGC), the Group's principal investment arm, and PGGM, the Dutch Pension Fund Manager.
Dan Batterton, BTR Fund Manager at LGIM Real Assets, called the acquisition "a prime example of the type of compelling opportunities there are in the market at the moment".
The Bath development is Legal & General's fourth build to rent scheme, with sites already underway in Bristol, Salford and Walthamstow.
In its Housing White Paper, published last month, the government called for the construction of more build to rent homes.
A consultation is currently underway on the changes to planning policy which could encourage authorities to to plan for build to rent schemes. The consultation closes on May 1.

ESA's Help Students
Owning pets while in college differs for everyone. While on-campus residence halls only allow certified emotional support animals, most apartment complexes and housing near campus allow any type of pet if the resident pays a certain fee.
Since pets aren't allowed in residence halls, students can apply to have an Emotional Support Animal with them through the Office of Access and Learning Accommodation.
Anna Shaw, assistant director of OALA, said within the last few years, there has been an increase in requests for ESAs across U.S. universities.
"Currently, I think there are five animals in the dorms," Shaw said.
Shaw said while service animals work for people who have a disability and are allowed to go with them anywhere, Emotional Support Animals are only allowed in residential housing.
"After they have been approved by our office, the approval goes to Tiffany Lowe, who is the director of Living and Learning, and she has to sign off on it as well," Shaw said. "The students will need to provide appropriate medical documentation."
The documentation must show the history of the pet working with the student and prove because of their psychological diagnosis, an ESA is something that the doctor recommends.
Dae Vasek, director of OALA, said after contacting the office of Living and Learning, the residence hall must contact the roommates of the individual requesting the ESA as well as contact the other residents in the hall.
"We have run into a situation where a student is allergic to cats and can't be on the same hall as someone with a cat," Vasek said. "Or they have a fear of animals, a fear of dogs."
They then have to decide if they need to move anyone. Vet paperwork, shot records and proof of liability insurance for the pet are also required.
"The animal also needs to be spayed or neutered, and a lot of students requesting, they just got a puppy and the puppy's too young to be spay-neutered or they don't want the animal to be spay-neutered." Shaw said. "Those requests are denied."
A weight limit of 50 pounds is also set to prevent large dogs from living in residence halls.
"There are always exceptions, but we try to stay within 50 pounds or less, as far as weight goes," Vasek said. "That's really for the health and safety of the animal too."
She said because Baylor is a private university, it has its own process that may look different from public universities.
If a student brings in an unapproved animal, they may be denied future ESA requests. However, once a student finds a place to live off campus after their freshman year, pet restrictions loosen depending on what lease a student decides to take up.
