A former employee for a company that produces prefabricated homes is suing the company, alleging he was fired in retaliation for removing a tracking device placed in a tool case that allowed his boss to keep tabs on his whereabouts on and off duty.

Octavio Reynoso's Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against Connect Homes, located in downtown Los Angeles, alleges wrongful termination, invasion of privacy, common law intrusion into private affairs or matters and unfair business practices. He seeks unspecified damages in the suit filed Friday.

A Connect Homes representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Reynoso began working for Connect Homes last June and his duties included installing drywall and performing roofing, electrical and plumbing tasks at construction sites, the suit states. His supervisor ordered Reynoso to report to specific jobs throughout Southern California, the suit states.

The company paid for Reynoso's hotel lodgings during lengthy projects far from his home, the suit states. Management decided when Reynoso could take breaks and where he would work, and he used a cellphone app to clock-in and clock-out, the suit states.

The cellphone app enabled the company to verify that he was at his scheduled job, the suit states.By last August Reynoso had worked on six Connect projects and received a positive job evaluation, the suit states. However, in January of thisyear, "things took a turn for the worse" when his boss gave Reynoso a case containing several tools even though the plaintiff typically used his own tools and he had limited room in his truck, the suit states.

Reynoso grew suspicious when management demanded he return the case at the end of each work week, the suit states. But the plaintiff "felt afraidto initiate a detailed conversation about the case" with his supervisor because of the boss' "history of angry outbursts'' and because Reynoso valued his job, the suit states.

In early February, Reynoso's boss ordered him to report to a job in Culver City and ordered him to keep the case in his truck, the suit states.

On the first night of the job, Reynoso drove in his personal truck to the hotel where he stayed and brought the case up to his room, where he opened it and noticed it had "a discreet cavity filled with packing foam," the suit states.

Reynoso pulled out some of the foam and found a small rectangular device about the size of a flip phone with the letters "GPS," the suit states. The device had small glowing lights indicating it was turned-on and on the back of it was the logo, "Spytec," the suit states.

"Mr. Reynoso felt shocked," the suit states. "He realized that for the past three weeks, (his boss) had been monitoring Mr. Reynoso's whereabouts, including during evenings when Mr. Reynoso was not working."

The device allowed Reynoso's supervisor to know where he went on his free time and how long he stayed at non-work related places, including his relatives' homes, the suit alleges.

Reynoso feared that discussing the device with his boss would anger him, remembering how many times the supervisor lost his temper and yelled at him and his co-workers, the suit states.

"Mr. Reynoso felt desperate, so he soon after placed the (device) in a cabinet at the jobsite so that (his boss) could not track," the suit states, but the next day Reynoso saw that it was removed from the cabinet, the suit states.

In February, Reynoso's boss met with him and another worker to discuss their next job, the suit states. During the entire conversation, Reynoso felt "on edge" and at the end he stared at the plaintiff and said, "I like to have all of my tools tracked. I like to know where they are at all times," the suit states.

Reynoso interpreted the boss' use of the term "tools" mean his employees, the suit states.

About a week later, Reynoso felt so stressed and concerned about possible further surveillance that he believed he had no choice other than to quit, according to the suit.

Reynoso gave the company two weeks notice of his intention to quit, but before that period ended he and other members of his construction team were fired, the suit states.

Reynoso believes that because other employees not on his team kept their jobs, his firing was in retaliation for having removed the monitoringdevice from the case, the suit states.

Reynoso found a similar construction job about a month later, but it pays him a lower hourly rate and does not pay him a daily rate as Connect had, the suit states.

"As a result, Mr. Reynoso has struggled to support himself and his family," according to the suit.

Man Alleges He Was Fired For Removing Device Meant to Track Him - NBC Southern California

My mother has, for years, expressed her opinion that one day I will be famous. My wife as well has asserted that she expects people across the world to know me. But being, in my view, a no one from nowhere, I have merely brushed those lofty expectations aside as the rose-colored- glasses view of the people who love me. So when fame finally came, it was as much of a shock to me as to anyone.

Hey, is this your nose?

That message was a bit disconcerting. I cast about in my mind trying to figure out what my good friend could possibly be talking about, and then I saw the picture he attached.

It was indeed my nose.

Perhaps a bit of a backdrop is needed for you to fully grasp the hilarity and oddity of my Mike Wazowski Im on the cover of a magazine! type moment.

In the five years we have lived at our house, I have repaired many of the things that were destroyed by vandals as it sat vacant for many months before we bought it. But I had not yet gotten around to fixing all of the destroyed drywall in the garage. A few weeks ago, I finally turned my attention to that loathsome task. I rehung, repaired, re-taped, and mudded everything. Finally, it was sanding day, and for five hours, I sanded like a madman.

In order to keep from choking to death, I wore a dust mask. When I finally finished and came upstairs, I gasped at the deathly sight I saw in the mirror. I looked absolutely horrible, enough so to make me laugh hysterically.

If I take selfies, those kind of pictures are usually what you will see from me. So I snapped a picture, captioned it If you are looking for a radical transformation, may I recommend five hours of sanding drywall? and put it online.

A Facebook friend saw it, cut it down to just my nose and mouth, and noted that the mask had not protected me against drywall dust, and would not be effective at protecting against covid-19 either.

Please pay attention: this column is not about masks or covid-19. If you want to debate that issue, your debate is not with me. The only thing I unwittingly contributed to the situation was my nose, complete with nostril hairs coated in white dust. My point in writing this is that, within 24 hours, I was getting messages literally from across the country saying things like Your nose went viral! and Hey, is this you? It looks like you!

My Mike Wazowski moment. I have preached in fourteen different countries, written weekly newspaper columns (complete with my entire face on the profile picture) for nearly ten years, authored multiple books, been interviewed on the news, and it is my nose that is finally making the rounds from coast to coast.

Fame is such a weird, fickle thing.

Nearly 2000 years ago, Peter penned these words. 1 Peter 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away.

Mankind has always had within himself the desire for glory, fame, despite the fact that, as Peter said, all of that glory quickly fades away and disappears. Living life seeking after it, therefore, is the height of wastefulness. And yet, people fight to get in front of the news cameras, clamor to have their picture taken with celebrities, and literally have their day made or ruined by how many or few likes a post or picture gets.

Live your days to honor God and be productive, and let neither fame nor anonymity be a factor or a goal. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Any life lived for our glory will be disappointing to God and will leave us hollow rather than fulfilled.

That is something that we all need to nose.

SAYREVILLE Officials in Sayreville have taken action to fine a borough property owner after determining that trees on the property were improperly removed.

During a Borough Council meeting on April 27, council members accepted the recommendation of Borough Attorney Michael DuPont to authorize Construction Official Kirk Miik to issue a $94,750 fine against the Fultons Landing property. The area, also known as the Mocco Property, is 158 acres in size and currently vacant. It is located in the central portion of the borough, south of Main Street and north of the Conrail Railroad Raritan River Line.

DuPont informed the governing body that he received a report from Borough Engineer Jay Cornell following an inspection of the property. The inspection, performed by Cornells firm CME Associates, found that approximately 250 trees were removed as the result of construction activity without a proper permit. Using the penalties set forth in the boroughs tree conservation and reforestation ordinance, CME Associates calculated that the penalty against Fultons Landing totals $94,750.

I had the opportunity to speak to counsel for Fultons Landing and they gave me some argument as to why [the penalty] shouldnt be instituted, DuPont said. I didnt buy the argument and Im going to ask for authorization to have Kirk Miik issue a fine so outlined in the report of CME.

Fultons Landing has been subject to land use applications and litigation for several years. In 2019, the council adopted an ordinance allowing for warehouse space to be developed on the property. Intended to prevent the development of residential units on the property, the ordinance was met with concern from residents over potential contamination on the site, the impact that the proposed warehouses may have on traffic, and other safety and quality of life issues.

After the council authorized DuPont to move forward with having the fine issued, DuPont advised the governing body not to comment further because there may be litigation and charges and liens filed against the property owner.

Resident Arthur Rittenhouse, who is the chairperson of the Sayreville Shade Tree Commission, thanked DuPont and CME Associates for their actions.

When we allow a developer to do work without permits and without checking the permits, this is the type of thing that happens, Rittenhouse said. I would also [add that], in addition to the lawsuit that will be filed or the charges that will be filed, no work should be done on that site until this matter is corrected so that they dont do things in the future such as this.

As part of its commitment to using data and analytics to solve the world's most pressing problems, SAS' recent work includes helping to save the world's No. 1 food crop pollinator the honey bee. With the number of bee colonies drastically declining around the world, SAS is using technology such as theInternet of Things (IoT), machine learning and visual analytics to help maintain and support healthy bee populations.

In honor of World Bee Day, SAS is highlighting three separate projects where technology is monitoring, tracking and improving pollinator populations around the globe. First, researchers at SAS have developed a noninvasive way to monitor real-time conditions of beehives through auditory data and machine learning algorithms. SAS is also working withAppalachian State Universityon the World Bee Count to visualize world bee population data and understand the best ways to save them. Lastly, recent SASViyaHackathon winners decoded bee communication through machine learning in order to maximize their food access and boost human food supplies.

"SAS has always looked for ways to use technology for a better world," said Oliver Schabenberger, COO and CTO of SAS. "By applying advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to beehive health, we have a better shot as a society to secure this critically important part of our ecosystem and, ultimately, our food supply."

Noninvasively Monitoring Beehive HealthResearchers from the SAS IoT Division are developing abioacoustic monitoring systemto noninvasively track real-time conditions of beehives using digital signal processing tools and machine learning algorithms available in SASEvent Stream Processingand SAS Viya software. This system helps beekeepers better understand and predict hive problems which could lead to colony failure, including the emergence of new queens something they would not ordinarily be able to detect.

Annual loss rates of U.S. beehives exceed 40%, and between 25% and 40% of these losses are due to queen failure. Acoustic analysis can alert beekeepers to queen disappearances immediately, which is vitally important to significantly reducing colony loss rates. With this system, beekeepers will have a deeper understanding of their hives without having to conduct time-consuming and disruptive manual inspections.

"As a beekeeper myself, I know the magnitude of bees' impact on our ecosystem, and I'm inspired to find innovative ways to raise healthier bees to benefit us all," saidAnya McGuirk, Distinguished Research Statistician Developer in the IoT division at SAS. "And as a SAS employee, I'm proud to have conducted this experiment with SAS software at our very own campus beehives, demonstrating both the power of our analytical capabilities and our commitment to innovation and sustainability."

By connecting sensors to SAS' four Bee Downtown hives at its headquarters inCary, NC, the team startedstreaming hive datadirectly to the cloud to continuously measure data points in and around the hive, including weight, temperature, humidity, flight activity and acoustics. In-stream machine learning models were used to "listen" to the hive sounds, which can indicate health, stress levels, swarming activities and the status of the queen bee. To ensure only the hum of the hive was being used to determine bees' health and happiness, researchers used robust principal component analysis (RPCA), a machine learning technique, to separate extraneous or irrelevant noises from the inventory of sounds collected by hive microphones.

The researchers found that with RPCA capabilities, they could detect worker bees "piping" at the same frequency range at which a virgin queen pipes after a swarm, likely to assess whether a queen was present. The researchers then designed an automated pipeline to detect either queen piping following a swarm or worker piping that occurs when the colony is queenless. This is greatly beneficial to beekeepers, warning them that a new queen may be emerging and giving them the opportunity to intervene before significant loss occurs.

The researchers plan to implement the acoustic streaming system very soon and are continuing to look for ways to broaden the usage of technology to help honey bees and ultimately humankind.

Visualizing the World's Pollinator PopulationsOn World Bee Day, SAS is launching a data visualization that maps out bees "counted" around the globe for theWorld Bee Count, an initiative co-founded by theCenter for Analytics Research and Education(CARE) atAppalachian State University. The goal of a World Bee Count is to engage citizens across the world to take pictures of bees as a first step toward understanding the reasons for their alarming decline.

"The World Bee Count allows us to crowdsource bee data to both visualize our planet's bee population and create one of the largest, most informative data sets about bees to date," saidJoseph Cazier, Professor and Executive Director atAppalachian State University'sCARE. "SAS' data visualization will show the crowdsourced location of bees and other pollinators. In a later phase of the project, researchers can overlay key data points like crop yield, precipitation and other contributing factors of bee health, gathering a more comprehensive understanding of our world's pollinators." Bayer has agreed to help sponsor CARE to allow its students and faculty to perform research on the World Bee Count data and other digital pollinator data sources.

In early May, the World Bee Count app was launched for users both beekeepers and the general public, aka "citizen data scientists" to add data points to the Global Pollinator Map. Within the app, beekeepers can enter the number of hives they have, and any user can submit pictures of pollinators from their camera roll or through the in-app camera. Through SAS Visual Analytics, SAS has created avisualization mapto display the images users submit via the app. In addition to showing the results of the project, the visualizations can potentially provide insights about the conditions that lead to the healthiest bee populations.

In future stages of this project, the robust data set created from the app could help groups like universities and research institutes better strategize ways to save these vital creatures.

Using Machine Learning to Maximize Bees' Access to FoodRepresenting the Nordic region, a team from Amesto NextBridgewon the 2020 SAS EMEA Hackathon, which challenged participants to improve sustainability using SAS Viya. Their winning project used machine learning to maximize bees' access to food, which would in turn benefit mankind's food supply. In partnership withBeefutures, the team successfully accomplished this by developing a system capable of automatically detecting, decoding and mapping bee "waggle" dances using Beefutures' observation hives and SAS Viya.

Bees are responsible for pollinating nearly 75% of all plant species directly used for human food, but the number of bee colonies are declining, which will lead to a devastating loss for human food supply. A main reason for the decline of bee populations is a lack of access to food due to an increase in monoculture farming. When bees do find a good food source, they come back to the hive to communicate its exact location through a "waggle dance." By observing these dances, beekeepers can better understand where their bees are getting food and then consider establishing new hives in these locations to help maintain strong colonies.

"Observing all of these dances manually is virtually impossible, but by using video footage from inside the hives and training machine learning algorithms to decode the dance, we will be able to better understand where bees are finding food," said Kjetil Kalager, lead of the Amesto NextBridge and Beefutures team. "We implemented this information, along with hive coordinates, sun angle, time of day and agriculture around the hives into an interactive map in SAS Viya and then beekeepers can easily decode this hive information and relocate to better suited environments if necessary."

This systematic real-time monitoring of waggle dances allows bees to act as sensors for their ecosystems. Further research using this technology may uncover other information bees communicate through dance that could help us save and protect their population, which ultimately benefits us all.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Parkgoers will again need to make other plans Tuesday and Wednesday if wanting to spend the morning or afternoon at Cheyenne Canon.

The park will be closed to visitors from 5 a.m.-3 p.m. on the 19h and 20th so that crews can continue removing dead trees and perform other necessary maintenance work. The park was previously closed on the 12th and 13th.

The city says among the work started last week and continuing Tuesday, crews will be removing between 30-40 dead and hazardous trees along Cheyenne Canon Road, the main artery in and out of the park, as well as doing maintenance on ditches and culverts along Gold Camp Road.

The trees in question were killed off by beetles several years ago, said city forester Dennis Will.

"Theyre 80 feet tall. They weigh literally tons, and they would put a bonk on your head if they fell on you, so were very concerned about citizen safety. So we want to take the opportunity to take those trees out before they fall and hurt somebody," Will said.

Cheyenne Canon has been even more popular than ever since the COVID-19 outbreak left citizens with few entertainment options beyond the great outdoors. But this Tuesday and Wednesday is a great time to check out another park or open space in El Paso County. The gate to Cheyenne Canon will be closed during the aforementioned hours, but there are still trails leading into the park that don't require using the gate. Even with those back ways into the park, bikers, hikers, runners and other recreation seekers are asked to stay out so that work can be done safely.

"We just have to make sure that everybody is safe. We cant have anyone in there. We want our sawers to be perfectly safe while theyre also working. We dont want them worried about dropping a tree or branch on somebody else. We want them totally focused on what theyre doing, so its about their safety as well as people who may be in the park," Will said.

If the work isn't finished on the 20th, crews will come back at a later date.

Cheyenne Canon to close May 19 and 20 for dead tree removal, other work - KKTV 11 News

ANN ARBOR, MI When a man trying to cut down a tree became injured and trapped about 25 feet up this week, it was all hands on deck for the Ann Arbor Fire Department.

All on-duty firefighters responded at 11:29 a.m. Thursday, May 21, to the incident on Forest Creek Court off Stone School Road, said Fire Chief Mike Kennedy.

A friend of a homeowner was helping with tree removal when things went wrong, resulting in a case of blunt force trauma, Kennedy said.

It appears as he was taking a limb down, the limb struck him, and so he was injured and also stuck, Kennedy said.

Fortunately, several of the firefighters are members of the Washtenaw County Technical Rescue Team with specialized training to deal with such rescues, Kennedy said.

While the injured man wasnt pinned by the limb, it was still a complex and challenging rescue, Kennedy said, noting crews had to stabilize the patient and set up a rope system, while others cleared the area and braced a ladder.

There was just a lot of complicated and moving parts to this, he said, noting 18 firefighters and six trucks were on scene.

By 12:39 p.m., the man was down from the tree and transported by Huron Valley Ambulance in stable condition to the University of Michigan Hospital, the fire department reported.

He was conscious and alert throughout the entire ordeal, Kennedy said.

Based on the type of climbing and tree-trimming equipment the man had, he seemed to have experience, but he wasnt doing it as a contractor, Kennedy said.

I dont know if he ever did this professionally, but it sounded like he had quite a bit of personal experience, he said. This wasnt like a weekend chainsaw warrior or something.

The mans harness probably saved him from really significant injury, Kennedy said.

While Ann Arbor firefighters were on scene, firefighters from Pittsfield, Scio and Ann Arbor townships provided coverage of the city under mutual-aid agreements.

These types of technical rescues are pretty rare and its been well over a decade since there was a similar tree rescue in Ann Arbor, Kennedy said. Sadly, he said, there usually are some deaths resulting from tree trimming in Michigan every year.

These are very serious events, he said, noting the amount of force from a tree limb can be significant.

Fortunately, he said, firefighters spend a lot of time training for incidents like this, so the rescue went like clockwork.

If CESC has become the most sought after name in the city, desperation is driving Calcutta neighbourhoods to unparalleled lengths in their effort to catch hold of linesmen.

At Suryanagar in Bansdroni on Sunday morning, a group of CESC workers were repairing cables, surrounded by a group of residents who had not had power over the past four days.

Yards away, a knot of Calcuttans had formed another ring. They were from an adjoining neighbourhood, Pallishree, keeping vigil so that they could ensure the linesmen accompanied them to their locality instead of being hijacked by some other desperate group bereft of power.

We are all camping here so we can catch hold of them, homemaker Gouri Kanjilal said, pointing at the CESC team.

In Lake Gardens on Saturday, a middle-aged woman was grateful and gracious enough to offer snacks to the CESC workers but not before she had taken the universal precaution of grabbing the ignition key from their pick-up.

She tied the key to her sari-end and kept it with her for several hours till late Saturday afternoon, that is, until the repairmen had fixed the lines.

She offered them biscuits and tea. But the keys were with her till the job was done, an eyewitness said.

Scenes of linesmen being chased, cajoled, detained and released from captivity only after the mission has been accomplished have been playing out across a city shaken by the aftershocks of the cyclone.

In both tree removal often a prerequisite for power cable repairs and the restoration of electricity, there was visible improvement on the ground on Sunday. Several teams of tree cutters, including some from the army, were at work.

The state home department tweeted the names of several places where power had been restored.

CESC today informed the state government that power was restored in Jadavpur, Selimpur, Mukundapur, Survey Park, Patuli, Regent Estate, NSC Bose Road, Behala Chowrasta, James Long Sarani, Silpara, Lake Town, Jessore Road, Nagerbazar, Rashbehari Connector, BB Chatterjee Road (1/2), the tweet said.

(A resident of the main Survey Park told this newspaper at 9.30pm on Sunday that her home was without power for the fifth consecutive evening. She said the army had on Sunday cleared the area of fallen trees, some of which had already been cut down by workers hired by the residents.)

(The state-run) WBSEDCL today informed the state government that power was restored in Garia, Bansdroni, Kestopur, Baguiati, Teghoria, Salt Lake, New Town, Barasat, Tamluk, Egra, Contai, Krishnanagar, Santipur, Ranaghat, Gayespur and Kalyani (1/2), Sonarpur, Baruipur, Rajpur, Narendrapur, Kakdwip and Namkhana, the home department tweet added.

A bus stop away from Suryanagar, in Netaji Nagar Colony, a five-member CESC team that was about to move on after an inspection was held inside a club building from Sunday morning.

Some of the residents said the five would be set free once power returned. We have not misbehaved with them. We just want them to restore the power connection, said Arunabha Basu.

Basus neighbour Ashis Das said boys from the adjoining Sanghati Colony had come and taken away two of the five personnel.

This triggered tension among the residents of the two colonies but both sides had reason to act in such desperation; CESC must mobilise more men, Das said.

CESC has said that several of its staff had gone home to Bihar and Uttar Pradesh because of the virus-fuelled lockdown and have been unable to return at short notice.

At Suryanagar, scores of residents, wearing masks because of the Covid-19 threat, had assembled on Sunday morning around the point where the CESC workers had raised their ladder to disentangle cables from an uprooted radhachura tree.

No one was allowed to pass through the lane lest their movement disrupt the pace of work.

It would not be proper to disturb them. Please wait, Jignesh, who identified himself only by his first name, was heard telling a young man on a bike.

For the Pallishree group, it was a long vigil. Standing a few feet from Gauri, Pradip Majumder said they were taking turns keeping watch. We cannot afford to lose sight of the workers, he said.

The CESC team, which had started on the job on Saturday, worked till 3pm on Sunday to restore power in Suryanagar.

From Suryanagar, they were whisked away to Pallishree, which had its power restored by 6pm.

A doctor in the Rathtala area of NSC Bose Road was left wondering whether her side of the road was paying the price for not protesting on the streets.

The houses on the opposite side of the road had their supply restored today but ours havent. They had agitated yesterday; we only made a formal complaint. Perhaps thats why, the doctor said.

"It's not Tom Brady'sLast Dance," Chopra told Breer. "It's not that. That may or may not exist 20 years from now, I don't know. There's this sort of immediacy to this. The premise [ofThe Last Dance] was telling stories about the seasons, whereas [Brady's], it does feel a little bit more real time. Tom continues to be an active player. So the idea is, O.K., let's talk about these nine seasons, this incredible body of work across 20 years, and how it's still sort of affecting him.'"

"Jordan's sitting on a couch, looking back, literally looking at stuff on the iPad, reminiscing about things. Tom's kind of, just when you're talking to him, it's still very fresh, because he's still processing a lot of things that may have happened across a season."

As for who elsewill make appearances in the series, that remains to be seen. Chopra notes the COVID-19 pandemic has stalled the interview process, but important figures in Brady's career such as Bill Belichick and Drew Bledsoe have already been reached out to.

"This is inside the mind of Tom," Chopra said. "So we'll ask Tom, I'll use the most obvious one, 2001,What was it like working with Drew [Bledsoe] that season?Got it, now we go talk to Drew, and get his perspective on that. So yeah, there are other voices, other players, coaches, etc., and people off the field that had a lot of influence across those specific seasons that we're trying to get. Now, we've got the added layer of complexity of getting to those people, like everyone else in the world, we're dealing with that."

Along with the Super Bowl appearances, Chopra saysMan In the Arenawill cover both the "Spygate" and "Deflate-gate" controversies. As for whether Brady's 2020 campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be included in the series, Chopra says there are no plans for that as of now.
