The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that trade union collective agreements that are incorporated into the contracts of employees should not be protected during a transfer.
The contracts of Parkwood Leisure employees stated that their wages should rise "from time to time" according to collective bargaining agreements, but the Court ruled that such "dynamic" agreements do not need to be adhered to after a transfer has taken place.
In a statement, the Court said: "The transferee's contractual freedom is seriously reduced to the point that such a limitation is liable to adversely affect the very essence of its freedom to conduct a business".
"ECJ decisions in the Viking, Laval, Ruffert and Luxemburg ECJ cases take us back over 100 years to the Taff Vale judgment when any trade union activity was perceived by the bosses to be 'in restraint of trade.
"Global companies operating in EU states are free under EU law to tender for procurement building and service contracts in Britain and hire cheaper labour from abroad," he said.

Woodward's Designer Reveals Secrets
Architect Gregory Henriquez gives a tour of his creation's quirky nooks and crannies, and replies to his critics.

In 2003, Vancouver's city council was in opposition to the 2010 Olympic bid. They gave their support for it, however, contingent on a trade. They would endorse the bid if the province would sell them the land on which to build what has become the largest, and one of the most controversial developments in Vancouver's history: the Woodward's complex.
Woodward's Takes Shape: 'Nothing like it in North America'
Now, seven years later, the Downtown Eastside city block that once held an empty, dilapidated department store has a density over three times that of Vancouver's West End -- already one of the most dense neighborhoods in North America. Woodward's houses 200 units of singles and family non-market housing including a dentist and doctor's office, a tower of 1,400 units of market housing, a floor of wheelchair accessible units, a grocery store, a drug store, a bank, an indoor public atrium, an outdoor public square, City of Vancouver offices, office space for non-profit organizations, a coffee shop, a school for contemporary arts, an art gallery, a performing arts theatre, a daycare facility, a massive, controversial mural depicting the 1971 Gastown Riot, and a community basketball hoop.
It is the climax of a vision that the City of Vancouver had for the revitalization of the Downtown Eastside. In order for it to be a success, however, it had to be a work of perfectly balanced art; both a symbolic and tangible expression of the quest for justice and equality in Vancouver's troubled Downtown Eastside.
The man who packaged it all together, architect Gregory Henriquez, has spent his entire career seeking to blend architecture with activism. In the few decades since Henriquez graduated from his architectural training at Carleton University, he has barely touched market-priced housing, aside from the design of his own home. Instead, he has built community centres, arts facilities, and schools on First Nations reserves. He has designed award-winning housing co-ops and social housing developments that seek to empower the residents by involving them in the decisions that shape their living spaces.
At Woodward's, Henriquez sought to do this by challenging himself to become the citizen architect -- by participating socially, politically, and environmentally in the community through the architecture he designed. The goal was not only to design housing, but to mould a sense of belonging, interaction, and inclusivity in the Woodward's community and Downtown Eastside.
As the pinnacle of Henriquez's career nears completion, The Tyee caught up with him in the centre of the action to see the final product through the visionary's eyes, and to hear firsthand what Woodward's means to him.
If you ever get a tour of Woodward's from Gregory Henriquez, I dare you to contain him to one section of the complex. When I met him in the atrium, his time was short. I assumed this is typical, given how I immediately found myself trailing breathlessly behind him as he barked out details to the left and right, pointing with his long, wood-handled umbrella. But what was meant to be a quick, truncated glimpse of only one part of the complex quickly became a two-hour long master tour. Maybe he's just a grandstander, I thought at first, who can't help but show-off the minutia of the masterpiece of his career. But the deeper we went, the more I began to see his rigor as a subtle expression of a much deeper notion: that no single part of Woodward's means as much without the context that surrounds it.
A tower of market-priced housing, for instance, is nothing special in Vancouver. And despite a communal penthouse space, fitness studio, climbing wall, and W-shaped hot tub on the roof, the condo tower in Woodward's -- known as the W Tower -- is no different than most (though most condo developers don't specially design the men's urinals to overlook the north shore mountains). Small apartments with big price tags, high-end appliances, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean make up much of Vancouver's skyline.
But as we walked from Hastings Street into the lobby of the single-room social housing units adjacent to the condos, the W Tower suddenly meant something completely different. Residents of the social housing units, run by the Portland Hotel Society, waited in the lobby for the elevator when Henriquez and I galloped in. Some had transferred here from SRO hotel rooms on the Downtown Eastside. Some had moved right off the street. And a select number of new residents were even part of the original squat group of protestors that demanded the city build social housing on the site. Henriquez, in a slick black trenchcoat and suit pants, immediately struck up conversation with one of the tenants -- who he already knew by name -- and made plans with him to go for a drink.
The elevator spat us out on the communal floor, where residents have access to laundry, health services, television, couches, and an enormous outdoor patio with a viewing pond overlooking the city. The extra cost for such public spaces in the non-market housing, Henriquez explained, was absorbed entirely by developer Ian Gillespie.
"I took him on a tour of my social housing project just around the corner called Laurie Krill Co-op, which won a Governor Generals award and is considered by many to be one of the nicest social housing projects in the entire country. I'm very proud of it," Henriquez said. "And Ian said, 'This is just not good enough. We have to do better than this, right?'"
"I explained that it was done at the end of the NDP's last reign and the funding you're getting now from BC Housing doesn't translate into a building like that anymore. And he said, 'Okay, whatever you need to make up the difference we'll do.' And he did."
'Treated with same dignity'
HENRIQUEZ'S FAVOURITE TOUCHES TO WOODWARD'S
The mews: Instead of one main entrance, many little alleyways lead into the centre of Woodward's from midblock Cordova, Abbot, and Hastings Streets. Henriquez fractured the site like this to allow room for as much public space and density to be packed into the same small area, resulting in what he calls "Tokyo meets London in Vancouver."
The view from the top: It may be lonely, but if you can sweet-talk Jim Green -- or one of the W Tower's other residents -- into giving you a private tour, you may use other words to describe the view from the outdoor patio 40-plus stories above Vancouver: like "breathtaking," "spectacular," or something far less cliché in the same vein.
Old-growth benches: A colleague from Henriquez's office discovered some fallen old growth logs one day in Stanley Park. When they learned that the Parks Board was getting rid of the logs, the firm enlisted an artist to carve them up into furniture for the inner atrium.
The "french fry columns": Like four criss-crossing fries, these huge semi-vertical cement slabs in the outdoor courtyard support the W Tower that looms above. Stand at just the right angle however, and watch them form yet another W. As if two on the roof weren't enough...
The spiral staircase to nowhere: A very important piece to Henriquez, the staircase in the middle atrium is the one soft object in an otherwise hard, urban environment. Like a giant umbilical cord rising from a pool of water, it stands a symbolic statement of re-birth.
"Parking" relic: For a blast from the past, take the umbilical cord to the second floor, and walk back towards the parkade into the glass walkway, where the traffic rushes beneath you. Try to spot the turquoise "Parking" sign, an exact replica of a sign from part of the original Woodward's building, meant to induce nostalgic childhood memories.
First-rate rays: Though they're imported from Scandinavia, the romantic strings of glowing orbs illuminating the courtyard at night are not the cheap IKEA model. Henriquez splurged on these special, top of the line European lamps to lend intimate warmth to the outdoor public space.
— C.M.
The 350 square foot units have real maple cabinets, a full three-piece acrylic bathroom, and woodworked shelving aside the Murphy bed that folds into the wall. Towels, blankets, and a gift basket with cleaning supplies all sit on the shelves, awaiting the room's new tenant. The windows and heating system in the building are identical to those in the market housing, despite the fact that the government does not require that quality of materials for social housing.
"They are treated with the same dignity, the same windows, same quality of finishes as everyone else," Henriquez said.
He guided me to a large ballroom off of the communal space that can be used by residents for weddings and special events, and crosses the room to look through the window over to the family housing. Smiling, he pointed to an elevated outdoor playground where children from the family social housing units can play, a mere 20 metres away from the gleaming balconies of the market condos.
"The architecture of this site is really fundamentally about programming. It's about a mixed-use program trying to posit an inclusive form of community," he said. "I think the fact that market housing can live with singles non-market housing, with families non-market housing, with institutional uses, with all these things, really posits hope for our society."
"It's pretty amazing that the world let us do this."
Beauty, ethics and Woodward's
The first page of Henriquez's book Towards an Ethical Architecture boasts an ambitious manifesto.
It reads: "Architecture must be a poetic expression of social justice."
"The Greeks did not make a distinction between ethics and beauty being two separate disciplines of endeavors of human existence," Henriquez told me, looking through the steam of a skim-milk chai latte at the massive feature mural dominating the outdoor plaza. "It's only modernity that's done that... So what we've done with modernity is we've separated everything into distinct endeavors. Social justice issues are now very separate from what most architecture is about. That's a very unfortunate reality in our profession."
"I knew that if you were going to do Woodward's, you had to not only do the right thing, it had to be beautiful. It had to be both. The ethics had to be dealt with and it had to be beautiful. If it wasn't both, it would just end up being a disaster."
"So the things that make it beautiful are the acknowledgement of the realities of what it is, and the conflict, the tension, and the love of this building that we have to somehow reflect in what we build here. That's what this is trying to do in some way."
'We displaced nobody'
But what about that fear lingering in the back of everyone's mind on the Downtown Eastside: that the glitzy Woodward's condos will lead the tip not towards a diverse, inclusive neighborhood, but rather a trendier, pricier locale?
"I think that gentrification is a real fear that people have. I think that it's coming with or without Woodward's. There's going to be a change in this neighborhood. The developers came long before Woodward's; they were building loft projects just down the way here. I would argue that the loft projects that people love -- all the arts community thinks they're fabulous, and everyone thinks are this great historical integration into the neighborhood -- are more of a gentrifying force than Woodward's. There's no social agenda to them, there's no inclusivity. They're just pure market condominiums.
"I think if you look at Woodward's as a model... if every project had to have 40 per cent non-market housing in it like Woodward's does, then it doesn't displace. This project on this site -- we displaced nobody."
"If every little project that occurs when gentrification does come, if each one was as thoughtful and tried to do something of worth and value to society and this community, I think you could do it in a sensitive way. It's possible."
"I think you have to accept that this neighborhood was once much different than it is... This neighborhood wasn't what it is today. It was a much more diverse neighborhood... To think that somehow the fix is to leave it the way it is and only build social housing is a little naïve, as well. The reality is that it has to change, and if we make that change, something that is healthy for the neighborhood and provides a diversity of housing types and doesn't displace people -- the essence is not whether it's gentrification or not, the essence is displacement, and to this day Woodward's has not displaced one person. It's actually added housing to the neighborhood and that's the thing we need to focus on: zero displacement and the creation of more affordable housing. That's what it should be about."
'We can have inclusive communities'
"I hope that Woodward's is seen as a symbolic step in the right direction. That people use it as a model, not as a literal model of the scale of the development, but as a model of inclusivity where we try and include non-market housing, market housing, affordable ownership and all these types of things in a broad mix that doesn't displace anyone, that is inclusive. That's the real message, right?" Henriquez says as we leave, adjusting his umbrella to shield me from the cold Vancouver drizzle.
"We're all just people, and all the sort of departmentalization that happens in most cities doesn't have to happen in Vancouver. We don't have to have gated communities. We can have inclusive communities and create healthier cities and happier cities."

Taxes, Bans and Ballots
Last year two California cities, San Francisco and Berkeley, had soda tax items on their ballots. The soda industry is said to have responded by investing $9 million in a campaign designed to stamp out any bad thoughts about their companies or products. Those elections attracted the attention of two experts, both from Cornell University, but with very different philosophies.
In an essay issued by the university, their positions are described. David Just teaches food marketing and economics, and does not believe that soda taxes are effective against obesity. Also, like every other denier of a connection between sugary drinks and the obesity epidemic, he states that soda taxes penalize the poor more than the rich. When it comes to repeating the party line, Prof. Just can be depended upon. Listen to this carefully honed pronouncement:
While drinking too much soda can lead to obesity, the best research out there shows it is not the soda that is making us fat. It is our overall diet and lack of exercise.
At least this soda apologist has the decency to refrain from claiming that calories don't count. The statement begins with the astonishingly frank admission that obesity can be caused by too much soda. But the professor goes on to reinforce the big fib, the one that says people can drink all the sweetened beverages they please, as long as they set aside 10 or 12 hours a day for enough workouts to lose those calories.
Also, "the best research out there" makes scientific studies sound like low-hanging fruit that happens to grow on the Research Tree, and corporations just wander around gathering it. In reality, they carefully pick the scientists who do their research. "Best according to whom?" is another viable question.
In Favor of a Soda Tax
The other side is represented by Jeff Niederdeppe, who teaches communications and concentrates on the field of health messaging. He co-authored a study titled, "Americans' opinions about policies to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages."
First of all, Niederdeppe says, the advertisements produced by the American Beverage Association are engineered to confuse consumers and/or voters. For instance, their public relations material encourages the public to regard them as courageous knights who fight on behalf of the downtrodden peasants against a proposed turnip tax. In their propagandistic, rabble-rousing way, the ABA talks about a "food tax." But there is a world of difference between a sugar-sweetened beverage and a turnip.
In Berkeley, more than three quarters of voters approved a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. As 2014 drew to its close, the contrarian California city became the first to institute a soda tax of one cent per ounce, and made $116,000 in the first month. They apparently had not determined ahead of time what to do with the money, and a panel was empaneled to decide. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., Rep. Rosa DeLauro had proposed the SWEET Act, a national soda tax. Reason writer Baylen Linnekin is not a fan:
Rep. DeLauro publicly announced her intentions to introduce the tax during a videotaped appearance at the Center for Science in the Public Interest's insiders-only "soda summit" in June, shortly before a New York State court sounded the death knell for New York City's reviled soda ban.
If memory serves, what Mayor Bloomberg tried to do in New York was stop the sale of soda portions larger than 16 ounces, which, when you think of it, was kind of a quixotic move. All anybody would have to do, really, is just buy two. At any rate, that mild attempt could hardly be called a "soda ban."

The Importance Of The Charter Of Rights And Freedom In Canada
In Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is considered to be one of the fundamentals of this nation. In the text below, I will argue that the Charter has indeed strengthened democracy in this nation by illustrating five points. I fully agree with Larry Diamond, a political scientist, on his point of view of democratic system. He believes that it should include active participation of all citizens by making a law that protects and applies to the population equally.
First of all, to better understand the content of this essay the definition of democracy is essential. Democracy is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a …show more content…
It is considered a reasonable initiative in the government's part to put limits on the police force for the good of the general public. For example, in a recent case in Montreal, the police had put many reporters' phones under surveillance. It is an act that violated people's privacy and an intrusion on part two and part three of people's fundamental rights that states "…. [Freedom] to associate with whomever we wish, as long as we do not infringe valid laws, which protect the rights and interests of others." It also states that" The media are free to print and broadcast news and other information, subject only to reasonable and justifiable limits set out in law." The Charter is set as a mean to protect the freedoms and rights for the people who are not in a position to make decisions that affects their lives. Therefore, the Charter of Rights truly empowered individuals to recognize their fundamental rights. As a result, it strengthened democracy for the reason that it protects the human rights of all …show more content…
There's more provinces in Canada that are French speaking than just Québec, maybe it appears to us that way because of its history of the French habitation. As a matter of fact, there is an enormous amount of the French population outside the province of Québec in areas such as New Brunswick, Manitoba and Western part of Ontario. In section 16 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom gives all Canadians the right to use either French or English in Parliament, which helps to facilitate the involvement of Quebec and other French speaking provinces. Another part of the Charter is section 23 gives rights for children to be educated under either French or English school systems. With the freedom and availability to choose the language of instruction in either in English or French truly gave Quebecers more sense of belonging in our nation. This point illustrates that democracy was increased in ways of inclusion and social support on freedom of language, which encourages Canadians to embrace its rich French heritage
Fourthly, before the Charter came into effect, the rights of the First Nation were unprotected, neglected and demeaned. The Charter of Rights and Freedom protect the aboriginal population's rights in section 25.
The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as to abrogate or derogate from any
The Importance Of Canada's New Light
The best way to demonstrate a characteristic is to act on it. Only action will prove ideals true, because ideals constantly change. As W.L. Mackenzie King said "Experience has shown that the contribution of smaller powers is not a negligible one" (Canada and the United Nations, 1945, p.10). Now, Canada has a new resolve to project Canadian values, such as fairness, equal opportunity and respect for human rights.…
The Impact Of The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms
However, through the Charter's fundamental freedoms, its impact on legislatures and how appointed judges interpret the Charter, the Charter has made Canada an extremely just society. To begin with, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the first part of the 1982 Constitution Act. The Charter guarantees rights to everyone in Canada; "some sections (like democratic rights) apply specifically to citizens, while others (like equality) apply to all" (Burgess). Charter content, the basic framework for all Canadians, was created with the idea of uniting Canadians through rights codification. Despite the Charter's 34 sections, it is Section 2 that has progressed Canada towards a more just society.…
Pierre Trudeau And Multiculturalism
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a charter that would be enforced anywhere in Canada. It included basic rights such as freedom of expression, the right to vote, and the right to life, but most importantly, it prevented discrimination of any sort under the law. This is important to Canada because it provided us with the basic human rights, that we can live our life the way we want to, not the way we have to, without having to face discrimination and hostility, no matter of what race or what religion. It also gained Canada the reputation of being an international leader in human rights. It is because of his vision for a just society, that we, as Canadians, get to live in a welcoming country, a country that is equal for all races, gender, and religion,…
The Importance Of Values In Canadian History
The Balfour Declaration states that all dominions (Canada) are to be seen as equals to Britain. This declaration was momentous for Canadian independence from Great Britain because it allowed for Canada to be separated from British ties. The Statute of Westminster states that only Canada gets the rights to make Canadian laws and that it can now have the right to a legal attorney. This also shows increased independence from Britain but additionally the development of unity among Canadians. Unity was increased with the right to a government because Canada was now a nation and every province was now held together by a Canadian government rather than a British one.…
Importance Of Pierre Trudeau
He also played a significant role in forming Canada into a bilingual country, showing how much he supported the French language just as much as the English language. There were lots of issues happening with Quebec wanting to be…
The Importance Of Immigration In Canada
The cause and consequence of this event is the act itself and the effect, rather than consequence, being the progressive responses that continued to strengthen our Canadian identity. Another effect was the further revised act, the Multiculturalism Act, making Canada the first country to pass such law. In the photo for this topic there are each different lettered hands holding onto each other signifying a united Canada, hence the Canadian flag in the center and the word being unite. The next photo is of the act itself on a table surrounded by people showing the acceptance and recognition of the policy. In my last photo there are two pairs of shoes where one pair is clean and the other is old.…
The Pros And Cons Of The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms
Although this specific section is no longer, the spirit of this statute is still applicable. The notion that people should be free from hatred and contempt on the grounds of discrimination is still recognized in many forms of Canadian legislature. (C) British Columbia The British Columbia Human Rights code is a provincial law that guarantees people equal rights and freedom from discrimination. Section 7.1(b) of this applies to discriminatory publication and prohibits the production of material that is discriminatory and/or would expose people to hatred or contempt. III.…
Battle Of Vimy Ridge Case Analysis
Not only has it provided equality rights but it created recognition and enforcement of the rights of many minority and disadvantaged groups(Government of Canada,2014). Since these rights were applied to everyone in Canada, it provided less chance of biased laws(unfair treatment) and more equality in the nation. In addition, this event has influenced not just Canadian law but jurisprudence and the drafting of constitutions around the world these findings are consistent with the work of many other scholars. In a study done by law professors, they found that between 1946 and 2006, the primary source of inspiration for constitution-making was Canada. Not only was the overall global constitutional trend found to be one of increasing similarity to the Canadian constitution, but also the leading influence on Israel 's basic laws and the bill of rights of Hong Kong, South Africa and New Zealand (Daniel Schwartz,2012).…
John Diefenbaker And The Canadian Bill Of Rights
It supplied Canadians with a list of their rights and freedoms in the law, and provided equality to those who did not have the same privileges as others. The Bill of Rights was "the first attempt to codify rights and freedoms across Canada… The Canadian Bill of Rights recognized the rights of individuals to life, liberty, personal security and the enjoyment of property". (Law in Action; Understanding Canadian Law, p. 77) This helped in the development of an identity for Canada, because Canada is widely known as a country of polite, nice people, and with the end of racist and unjust immigration policies and behaviours in Canada, this helped the country gain the title of one of the nicest countries in the world. It also helped in the development of citizenship because citizenship is by definition, "the qualities that a person is expected to have as a responsible member of a community". (Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary) Being a responsible member of a community means to be fair and just, and it is not fair to judge or set limits for someone because of their gender or the color of their skin.…
The Impact Of The Canadian English Language
Even though it has two official languages, one being French, the English language is widely spoken across its vast territory. Someone could believe that the result of the Canadian Confederation, which led to the unity of the British colonies, would have highly impacted the English…

Louis Gray, the now Product Marketer at Google+ spoke to yBC and Digital Transformation TV about the world of social media. In this clip he speaks about social media becoming so engrained in the lives of people that you won't even think about it anymore. Much like the Internet and email itself – you assume that everyone has it.
Social media is going to be integrated into all business scenarios in all departments without colleagues even thinking about it. The multitude of platforms means there are so many possibilities to be influential in particular subjects.


What is optic nerve drusen?
Optic nerve disorders are eye disorders. Drusen are the small collections of hyalin, a protein material. These optic nerve drusen most commonly form beneath the macula, which serves an indication for macular degeneration. But, they less commonly form within the optic nerve. They look like small yellow deposits scattered in the optic nerve. They are more common in Caucasians and occur in 1% of people. Typically they are not present at birth, but may become visible in teens and might become more prominent as we age. In some cases, calcium is formed inside, which makes them more obvious to see for doctors.
The symptoms of optic nerve drusen are rarely noticeable.
: This can be mistaken for swelling around the brain due to high pressure, which is more serious.
: This can be detected by visual field analyzers in the doctor's office. Patients usually do not appreciate side vision loss and not as a functional concern. But, rarely the drusen can result in severe and noticeable vision loss.
: This is caused by drusen in extremely rare cases. This can be due to the development of new blood vessels nearby to the optic nerve called choroidal neovascular membrane.
Certainly it is a genetic component, as they occur often in multiple family members. However, why some persons are prone to buildup of this protein is not known. This protein is thought to be the by-product of cell metabolism.
There are no proven treatments or preventive measures for optic nerve drusen. However, the symptoms occur very rarely even if the condition is severe. But the condition of choroidal neovascular membranes might be effectively treated with injections of VEGF inhibitors or laser if detected early.
If you experience a mild loss of side vision then immediately consult your eye specialist.

The 53-year-old Burke became the 13th General Manager in Maple Leafs history and brings over 20 years of National Hockey League experience in various roles to the franchise. Since taking over the Maple Leafs, the club finished the 2008-09 regular season with a record of 27-26-7.
Most recently, Burke served as Executive Vice-President and General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks from 2005 to 2008. In just over three seasons in Anaheim, Burke guided the Ducks to their first Stanley Cup (2007), first Pacific Division title (2007), and first-two 100+ point seasons (2006-07 & 2007-08). The Ducks also qualified for post-season contention in all three seasons, winning six-of-eight playoff series over that span.
Burke's history with USA Hockey is filled with great achievements. Last February, he helped lead the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team to a silver medal as the squad's general manager for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C. He also recently served as general manager of the 2010 U.S. Men's National Team, having also taken on the same role in 2009 and 1993. He was honored with the 2008 Lester Patrick Award for outstanding service to hockey in the United States on August 7.
Burke was ranked No. 1 by The Hockey News in the magazine's Annual GM Rankings in March of 2008, and was a finalist for The Hockey News Executive of the Year in 2006. He was named The Sporting News Executive of the Year in 2001, and was a runner-up for the same award following the 2005-06 season.
Burke joined the Ducks after a six-year stint (1998-2004) as President and General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks where he revitalized the team and the community en route to consecutive 100+ point seasons and the 2004 Northwest Division title. Under Burke's leadership, the Canucks improved their point total in four consecutive years from 1999-2003. Since the 2000-01 season, Burke's teams have qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs seven times, playing in 13 total postseason series. In addition, those seven clubs recorded at least 90+ points, including four 100-point seasons.
Born in Providence, Rhode Island and raised in Edina, Minnesota, Burke was named the Vice-President and Director of Hockey Operations by the Vancouver Canucks in June of 1987. Burke left Vancouver to serve as General Manager of the Hartford Whalers for one season in 1992, before joining the NHL front office as Senior Vice-President and Director of Hockey Operations in September of 1993. Some of his duties with the NHL included acting as chief disciplinarian by ruling on violations for on-ice player conduct, and working closely with Commissioner Gary Bettman on league direction and collective bargaining matters.
After earning his Bachelor of Arts in History from Providence College in 1977, Burke signed with the Philadelphia Flyers prior to the 1977-78 season and won a Calder Cup Championship with the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate the Maine Mariners. He then returned to school and graduated from Harvard Law in 1981. Burke practiced law in Boston for the next six years, representing professional hockey players until joining the Canucks in 1987. Brian resides with his wife Jennifer and has six children: Katie, Patrick, Brendan, Molly, Mairin and Gracie.

Published 2:27 pm Friday, August 28, 2020
The number of COVID-19 patients in Louisiana's hospitals has fallen more than 40 percent since the start of August, according to statistics released Friday by the Louisiana Department of Health.
According to the LDH, the state reported 900 COVID-19 patients in hospitals as of Friday at noon. In its Aug. 1 update, the LDH reported 1,534 hospitalizations — the decrease of 634 hospitalizations represents a 41.3-percent drop.
The LDH reported that there were 141 patients on ventilators on Friday. On Aug. 1, there were 221 ventilators in use — the decrease of 80 ventilators represents a 36.2-percent drop.
Hospitalizations spiked in July at 1,600 on July 27, and have been on a steady decline since.
On Friday, the state reported 30 additional deaths, bringing the overall total to 4,741. There were an additional 627 cases reported, bringing the overall total to 146,243.
The LDH has reported 127,918 cases as presumed recovered, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state is currently under "Phase Two" of re-opening, and that order will continue until at least Friday, Sept. 11.
The LDH releases new statistics every day at noon, except for Saturdays. They can be found online at ldh.la.gov/coronavirus.


We don't believe that there is any chance of stopping Obama's renewed push for his horrible health care changes in the Senate. Harry Reid is going to use the reconciliation procedure to jam it through with 51 votes — and he will get them. All the hype about how difficult it will be is to distract us from the real battle which will come in the House.
There, where every member faces re-election, it will be a lot harder for Pelosi to round up the vote she needs. Last time she passed health care by 220-215. This time, a lot of the Democrats who voted for health care are going to be so worried about re-election that they might be induced to jump ship.

Removing, substituting, filtering and otherwise changing a background in a photo can all be done quite easily in Adobe Photoshop CC. The hardest part is separating the background from the foreground objects, but using the Color Range select tool can make this process much more convenient. If you're replacing one background with another, you can just delete the background pixels. If you just want to alter the background, use a duplicate layer to separate foreground objects from the photo's background.
Apply filters like a Dry Brush without affecting foreground dog models.
Click the small Lock icon located in the Background layer of the Layers panel. After you do this, the layer is renamed "Layer 0." Unlike a locked background layer, Layer 0 supports transparency, so you can delete pixels without them being replaced with a solid color.
Use the Eraser Tool to remove the background.
Erase the background from the photo using the Eraser Tool. Another way to erase is to use the Lasso Tool to encircle the background, then press Delete.
Adjust the Fuzziness so that only background pixels are visible.
Use Color Range to remove most, if not all, of the background. Click the Select menu and then click Color Range. Click a background color in the photo and then drag the Fuzziness slider so that as much of the background is visible in the preview as possible, while the foreground objects are black. Click OK.
Press Delete if none of the foreground is selected. Otherwise, use the Eraser Tool to delete the selected background pixels.
The background here is completely removed.
Zoom in and out of the photo to verify you have deleted all of the background. Clean up any missed pixels with the Eraser Tool. If you accidentally deleted part of the foreground objects, press Alt-Ctrl-Z as many times as you need to go back.
Drag the new background layer below Layer 0.
Locate an image that has the background you want in Photoshop. Drag it onto the canvas and press Enter to place it. In the Layers panel, Drag the new layer below Layer 0 to make it the new background.
Adjust the lighting by changing the brightness and contrast.
Adjust the background as needed. Beyond resizing or scaling the background, which you can do using the options under the Edit menu, you may need to blur a background using a blur filter from the Filter menu.
Erase the background from duplicate layer of the photo.
Drag the Background layer onto the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. Remove the photo's background from the top layer the same way you would when replacing a background. To make your work easier to see, hide the bottom layer by clicking its Eye icon, then make it visible again when you're finished.
A Photo Filter Adjustment Layer has been inserted in this photo.
Make any changes to the bottom layer, without affecting the foreground objects still visible in the top layer. A good way to make these changes while you experiment with different effects is to insert a layer between them by selecting a Fill Layer or an Adjustment Layer from the Layers panel and then dragging this layer between your two photo layers. If you change your mind, you can just delete the adjustment layer or make it invisible without having to go back and redo your work.
A Dry Brush filter applied to the background.
Select Filter Gallery from the Filter menu while the bottom layer in the Layers panel is select. Select a filter that suits your photo and adjust it as needed.


"Dear Mr. Haase, I got the pen on Thursday, it's very nice and smooth, what ever is you do to the pen it writes beautiful, and it looks expensive, I will keep you in mind for my next purchase."
Another beautiful lacquer-over-brass pen design from DUKE, the Pinstripe is a classy, understated pen with chrome highlights. It's a full-sized pen, measuring 5-1/4" capped, 6" posted and 4-1/2" with cap held aside and has a pleasing heft without being at all tiring during long writing sessions. It has the same basic design as the Khaki Squares model.
The subtle pinstriping -- which almost disappears at a distance -- comes into sharp focus up close.
It's continued on both barrel and cap -- and even extends above the clip ring itself.
The cap top is engraved with 'German Duke Lux Pen GmbH', along with the DUKE 'crown' logo in the center -- which is reprised on the clip.
The steel nib, an indented spear shape, is finished with white 22K gold-plate and attests to that fact with '22KGP' within a modified scallop shell engraving. The DUKE crown logo is also reproduced here. The nib size, like virtually all DUKE models, is what I describe as a light-medium, falling in between a typical western fine and medium.
Unscrewing the all-metal threads between the section and barrel displays the piston converter -- with a steel ink agitator -- for bottled ink. It will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve.
As with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter/filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. A gift box is included.


There is general consensus in the construction industry that the best-built projects have many critical problems anticipated and solved in the Preconstruction Phase, before any construction begins. By far, the largest percentage of potential cost savings is identified through Owner / Architect / Construction Manager / Subcontractor cooperation before designs are finalized and before any subcontracts are awarded. Working with our network of construction trade specialists, EnviroStruct, LLC's Estimating/Purchasing/ Project Management experience, in consultation with our subcontractor and supplier relationships, will be able to develop numerous cost savings and value engineering recommendations for all types of building systems during the Project Preconstruction Phase and continue throughout the project. We take an approach to eliminate unforeseen change orders by being involved at an early stage.

The textile industry at Triangle
The woollen textile trade originated as a home-based industry run by many farming families who lived along the Ryburn valley hillsides. During the first phase of the Industrial Revolution 1720 - 1850 most textile mills were built beside a river to take advantage of water power. In its heyday, there were thirty eight mills in the Ryburn valley. Early working conditions were dangerous and unattractive but family-based textile workers could not compete with mass production. The mills forced the demise of home based working, at the same time providing work for local men, women and even young children.
The river not only powered the early mill machinery but also carried away domestic and mill effluent. The River Ryburn was highly polluted late into the 20th century and there are reports of the river water turning dramatic shades of colour, reflecting those used in dyeing processes in the mills. Quite often, mill machines downstream were damaged by discharges from mills further up the valley.

Stansfield Mill was constructed in the early 19th century, replacing three smaller flax mills at Triangle. It was built by the Stansfield family, near Grassy Bottom on Stansfield Mill Lane, one hundred yards from The Lodge. Stansfield Mill was a cotton mill in 1830 for a short period of time, and silk dressing took place here between 1845 and 1851. The first steam engine was introduced in 1940.

William Morris and Sons Ltd
William Morris took over the main mill in 1845 and established a wool processing business, which was its sole function until its closure. In 1865 Morris bought the mill complex outright along with many cottages, including The Lodge. In the next few years he improved the dam and a substantial four-storey mill was built in 1888, with a 120 foot chimney. In 1865 Morris was employing 400 people and by the 1890s there were 600-700 people working in his two mills at Triangle and Corporation Mill in Sowerby Bridge.
The period 1850 - 1900 saw a second wave of industrialisation when legislation was passed and attempts were made to improve the very poor conditions in the mills and the living conditions of the workers.

Illingworth Morris and Co Ltd.
Following the recession after the first world war, the Morris family business became part of Illingworth Morris and Co Ltd., and by 1944 many of Morris' properties were mortgaged.
In 1958 the Illingworth Morris headquarters moved to Saltaire following the buy-out of Salts Mill. From this time on there was a steady decline of production both at the Triangle mill and in local support industries.
The peak production time at Stansfield Mill was in the 1950s, when Illingworth Morris' fibres reputedly produced the most expensive fine worsted cloth in the world. During the 1960s however, demand diminished as synthetic and lightweight fabrics were imported at lower cost, and production at Stansfield Mill ceased in 1970.
The mill remained empty for fifteen years, although some of the smaller buildings were used by small businesses, and the main four-floored building and the chimney were demolished in 1985. Corporation Mill In Sowerby Bridge also closed in 1979.

Two men can be seen on top of the 120 foot chimney starting the demolition.
After Illingworth Morris
Between the 1940s and the 1970s, Illingworth Morris was controlled by Isidore and Maurice Ostrer who were majority shareholders in the company. As well as textiles, the Ostrer brothers had investments in Gaumont British films.
Upon the deaths of the Ostrer brothers, Mrs Pamela Mason, Isidore's daughter and her son Morgan inherited control of Illingworth Morris. Pamela was the ex-wife of the film star James Mason. In 1979 the Company was in financial difficulty. Mrs Mason was determined that Illingworth Morris move their headquarters to America. 'I want to get this company off its butt', she is quoted as saying. She dismissed auditors, bankers and stockbrokers and appointed people who had no background in textile manufacturing to the board.
Donald Hanson, who was Chief Executive of the Company, tried desperately to turn the Company around, at the same time challenging Mrs Mason over her attitude to UK textile manufacturing and the relocation of business to America.
Mrs Mason eventually sold her shares at a loss, and after Donald Hanson's retirement in 1980, Alan Lewis became Chairman of Illingworth Morris. Under his guidance, the Company paid off its debts of £50 million through asset stripping. He took the Company off the stock market and as manufacturing declined, he concentrated on the most valuable assets, which were properties. He also formed an investment bank and is now a multi-millionaire. He was awarded a CBE in 1990.
Today, (2016) the Hartley Investment Group, which Alan Lewis established, has a wide ranging portfolio including property, natural gas, harvesting timber and environmental technologies. The Group also promotes new businesses in Yorkshire.
The Stansfield Mill Water Clock
An unusual clock at Stansfield Mill was driven by dripping water. It had a 12-foot pendulum, and part of the mechanism was a miniature water wheel. It is believed to have been built before 1870. The clock is currently being restored by volunteer engineers at the Calderdale Industrial Museum.

In the late 19th century, legislation was passed to protect the health and safety of women mill workers. The most significant acts to affect women were;
1844 Women and children to work no more than 12 hours a day and 9 hours on Sunday
1847 Women and children to work no more than 10 hours a day or 58 hours a week.
1878 Women and children to work no more than 56 hours a week
1891 Improved safety and sanitary measure put in place and women given 4 weeks maternity leave.
1920 25 per cent of the female workforce were in a trade union
1928 Women over 21 given the vote
The fifty years between the 1920s and 1970s were a time of rapid empowerment for women. Women obtained the vote and contraception, available to married women, introduced choices about whether to have children or not. Domestically, electric appliances and machinery made a huge difference to women's experience in the home and at work, freeing up time for leisure pursuits and opportunities to develop careers. Electricity and advances in engineering also made work in the mills cleaner and less strenuous.

Celebrating the New
Why it's good to embrace the pace of technological innovation
By Jason Snell
Late in February 2007, for reasons I've long since forgotten, I signed up for yet another social-networking site with a funny name. The only thing different about this particular site was that it succeeded where others failed. And 13,400 messages later, I'm still using Twitter.
I know that many people think Twitter is the biggest waste of time since TV. And that's fine, because no new medium will suit everyone. (There are people who don't even own a TV set. I know this because they send me emails explaining why they're better than me.)
Twitter connects me to friends, colleagues, and even strangers in ways that email and instant messaging can't. But I didn't know that when I signed up. I signed up for it even though I didn't understand why anyone would use it or what it was good for. I just thought it deserved a fair trial.
I get paid to use new technology products for a living. This lets me save you the legwork of trying them all out yourself. The moment I blow off trying a new product or technology just because I don't want to be bothered is the moment I become obsolete.
Most people don't share my professional stake in trying out new stuff. But anyone who is enthusiastic about technology should, at some level, be excited about the prospect of change. That's why I am constantly surprised by the comments I see from technology users who wish that technological innovation would slow down.
It's smart to be a pragmatic user of technology. If your computer and software work for you, and the latest tech doesn't offer you any benefit, why should you upgrade? It's up to the hardware and software companies to provide upgrades that actually improve your experience.
But there's pragmatism, and then there's being stuck in the mud. Someone who reads a monthly magazine devoted to computers (yes, I'm looking at you) has proven to be open to new technology. At some point in your life, you adopted new technology; otherwise you wouldn't be here. So why stop now?
[ Further reading: Learn more about macOS Catalina ]
When I was in college, I worked with a family friend who ran a small business. This 70-year-old man had bought himself a Mac and FileMaker, and used them to create a customer database with hundreds of records. He sought out my help as the local Mac expert, but in reality I learned more from him than he did from me.
Bill Maasberg (who died this year at age 92) was more than a Mac user. He was an electrical engineer, a private pilot, and an inventor. But the thing I remember most from my time with him was that he never lost his curiosity. He could easily have shrugged off computers and continued to do things the way he had always done them. Instead, he took the time to explore what technology could do for him.
The moment any of us stop trying new things just because we're satisfied with what we've got, we cut ourselves off from the possibility of something better.
Yes, people in the technology business tend to rush to praise whatever's new. But there's no industry I'd rather write about, because for all its faults, the world of technology is relentlessly moving forward, striving to invent new products, services, and modes of communication, and (as Steve Jobs once said) to change the world.
The iPhone is a good example of the technological change I'm talking about. When we fist saw the iPhone, we didn't know how huge it would become, or that one day there would be more than 100,000 third-party iPhone apps. It's hard to believe that it's only been a year and a half since the App Store opened. (And harder to believe we spent that first whole year without any third-party apps!) What will 2010 bring us in terms of technological innovation? Will there be a product to rival the iPhone, replace Twitter, or make the Web obsolete? I don't know. But I can't wait to find out.

COREY TAYLOR Covers POISON's 'Nothin' But A Good Time'; BRET MICHAELS Is 'Honored' Tuesday April 30 2019, 12:07 AM
Bret Michaels says that it is an "honor" to see Corey Taylor covering the POISON classic "Nothin' But A Good Time" .
The SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR singer has played the song several times at various concerts over the years, including at his April 13 solo show at Q Casino And Hotel in Dubuque, Iowa.
Over the weekend, Michaels took to his Facebook page to share a video of Taylor 's rendition (see below), along with the following caption: "How awesome & what an honor to have the incredible Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT covering #NothingButAGoodTime Corey and the band are absolutely amazing - check them out in the video from [the April 13] show at the Q Casino!"
Taylor 's solo concerts regularly include covers of such artists as GUNS N' ROSES and VAN HALEN .
His recent show in Green Bay sold out within an hour after tickets went on sale back in February.
In addition to working on SLIPKNOT 's new album, Taylor has kept busy in recent months guesting on tracks by FALLING IN REVERSE and U.K. rapper Kid Bookie .
SLIPKNOT will embark on a European tour this summer before launching the "Knotfest Roadshow" across North America.
The band's as-yet-untitled new album is scheduled for release on August 9.

All participating English teams qualify for the knockout stage of Champions League

All English teams qualify for the knockout stage of Champions League from FootballCoin on Vimeo.
The English teams participating in the Champions League have just made history managing to all qualify for the knockout stage of the competition. It's an impressive result that once more goes to show how far the Premier League has come in the last years. But will any of the five teams have the strength to win the competition?
Manchester City strolled past their opponents, as they have done this year in the EPL. Guardiola's team finish with 15 points, after having won their first five games. City is at this stage, perhaps, English biggest hope at bringing home the trophy.
Manchester rivals United have won their group. Mourinho's men, however, needed to wait for the last game of the group to confirm their advancement to the next round. United lost only one game and have improved a good deal since last season, will hope they can challenge for the trophy.
Liverpool set a new record in terms of goals scored. Klopp's team managed 23 in the group stage, the best any English team has done in this stage of the contest. Liverpool has sure proven they can score, but defensive errors will need to be kept to a minimum to further advance in the competition.
Champions Chelsea are the only English team not to have topped their group. The current EPL champions will be pleased with themselves, however, after having progressed following a group that also included Atletico Madrid and Roma.
Tottenham has been the nicest surprise of any of the English clubs, having won a group that featured Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. Pochettino's team won against both teams. The stage looks set for Spurs to make a massive impact on the competition, with many believing they could even turn out as winners. Spurs' performances in the Premier League have not been to their usual standard, which could, in turn, mean the team will need to focus on Champions League instead, making them a force to be reckoned with.
