The Calgary Flames Sign Mikael Backlund To A Mulit-Year Contract
CALGARY, AB -- The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed centre Mikael Backlund to a multi-year contract.
Backlund, a native of Vasteras, Sweden recorded double-digit totals in goals and assists in the 2014-15 season, despite missing 30 games through injury. The 26-year-old also made his NHL post-season debut this year and he recorded a goal and an assist in Calgary's playoff run. He was drafted by the Flames in the first round (24th overall) in the 2007 NHL Draft.
Mikael Backlund's Abdominal Strain A Concern For The Calgary Flames
from Kristen Odland of the Calgary Herald,
Turns out, Mikael Backlund's injury could be more serious than originally thought.
The 25-year-old centreman has been dealing with an abdominal strain he suffered during the final few weeks of training in Sweden before the Calgary Flames 2014-15 training camp. And although he's been listed as day-to-day, Backlund has been missing from on-ice sessions since the beginning of training camp,
"I don't have any news to tell you," reported Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley when asked about the pivot's absence from the ice over the past few days. "But I'm worried . . . he's still not on the ice."
Not a good sign, especially so early on and especially based on the strides he made last season, becoming one of Calgary's most reliable pivots.

Backlund Signs Two-Year Contract With Calgary
Calgary, AB – The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed centre Mikael Backlund to a two year contract.
"Mikael really stepped-up last season and took advantage of the change in direction under a new coaching staff," said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster. "He came into camp in very good shape and also had regained his confidence. He parlayed that into a strong season, and if it wasn't for his injury we believe he would have progressed even further in his development. We need Mikael to be one of our go-to players this year, and we are excited about watching him continue to evolve and take that step to the next level as a player."
Backlund played 32 games with the Flames last season netting eight goals and eight assists for 16 points along with 29 penalty minutes. He was the Flames first round draft pick in the 2007 NHL Draft.
Contract Terms: Two-year one-way contract with an AAV of $1,500,000 per season
Why This Goal Should Not Have Been Allowed
Kerry Fraser of TSN discusses why the Mikael Backlund goal from Saturday nigh should not have been allowed.
Backlund was not pushed into Oiler goalkeeper, Devan Dubnyk by Ryan Smyth or any other Oiler teammate.Mikael Backlund followed the puck into the crease and crashed the net (and Dubnyk) though his own initiative. If that isn't enough reason for some to understand why this goal must be disallowed let me provide the technical reasons to support this call.
Rule 69.3 Contact Inside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his crease and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.
More specifically, Mikael Backlund's actions on this play are best described by the bold type in Rule 69.6 Rebounds and Loose Pucks - In the event that a goalkeeper has been pushed into the net together with the puck after making a stop the goal will be disallowed.
more and watch the goal below, All I know is these calls could go either way and as I wrote yesterday, replay should be allowed to make sure the call on the ice is the correct one.

Backlund's Swedish Club Expected His Return After WJC
by Alanah McGinley on 01/12/09 at 06:02 PM ET
From TSN:
According to the Calgary Herald, Swedish club Vasteras was under the assumption that Backlund would rejoin them after the World Junior Hockey Championship.
''Mikael Backlund has not been given permission to play for another club,'' Vasteras official Anders Eklund told the Swedish media. ''There is nothing in his agreement with us that allows him to play for a club in North America and we don't think it's right that he did this without communicating with us.
''We are very disappointed in Backlund's conduct in this case and do not think he acted honestly.'
Backlund suited up for the Calgary Flames last week. Read on.

Flames Recall Backlund
Calgary, AB - Calgary Flames General Manager Darryl Sutter announced today the recall of forward Mikael Backlund.
Backlund is coming off a silver medal at the 2009 IIHF World Junior Championships as a member of team Sweden, and was named as one of Sweden's Top Three players in the Tournament. Backlund finished tied for 2nd on the team with seven points (5+2), and tied for 7th overall in tournament scoring with five goals in six games. This is Backlund's second straight silver medal after finishing second at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic.
Flames Hope 1st Round Pick Can Make An Impact
from Bruce Dowbiggin of the Calgary Herald,
Nineteen-year-old Mikael Backlund will skate with the draftees and free agents this week. But the hope is the young Swede will knock everyone's socks off and jump from prospect to producer with the big club.
The greening of Backlund could well decide whether Calgary moves forward or falls back this coming season….
Many scouts feel he's very close to ready.
And now you can see why GM Darryl Sutter went so far from his comfort level in selecting a European player in the first round of the 2007 draft.
Put simply, this organization desperately needs a skilled player on an entry-level contract to emerge now—not in 12 months or two years.
The core of veterans assembled in Calgary has maybe another season or so left at its peak.
At about $57.6 million in guaranteed money, the Flames have reached the salary cap.

Can Cities Help Preserve the Butterflies and the Bees?
Researchers found that urban gardens and allotments provide especially good habitat for pollinator communities.

Many pollinator insect species like bees, butterflies, and hoverflies are on the decline, due in large part to habitat destruction driven by conversion of land to agricultural fields and urbanization. But, while cities are generally considered to be poorer in biodiversity than rural areas, new research finds that urban areas could actually play a key role in conserving pollinator communities.
A team of researchers led by scientists at the United Kingdom's University of Bristol studied pollinators and floral resources at 360 sites in four British cities representing all major urban land uses, including allotments (community gardens), cemeteries, gardens, man-made surfaces like parking lots, nature reserves and other green spaces, parks, sidewalks, and road verges. Their findings are detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution earlier this month.
After sampling 4,996 insects and documenting 347 different flower-visiting pollinator species interacting with 326 plant species, the researchers found that gardens and allotments provide especially good habitat for pollinators, and that lavender, borage, dandelions, thistles, brambles, and buttercups are important plant species for pollinator communities in cities.
"Allotments and gardens supported the highest bee and hoverfly abundances, while man-made surfaces (for example, car parks and industrial estates) supported the lowest abundances," the researchers write in the study.
Previous studies of pollinator communities in cities have been smaller in scale, focusing on a small subset of urban land uses or pollinator species. This is the first study to examine pollinator communities as a whole in entire urban areas, according to Dr. Katherine Baldock, a researcher with the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol and the study's lead author.
"Pollinators are under threat from multiple factors including more intense farming, climate change, disease and changing land use, such as urbanisztion," Baldock says. "However recent studies have suggested that urban areas could actually be beneficial, at least for some pollinators." For instance, Baldock pointed to a 2015 study, which she also led, of 12 towns and cities in the U.K. that found there were higher numbers of bee species in those urbanized areas than in neighboring farmland.
By understanding the impact of each urban land use on pollinators, Baldock added, we can make cities more hospitable to pollinators. Ensuring healthy populations of pollinators in urban areas, in turn, would benefit native plants and ecosystems as well as people who grow food in residential or community gardens—and could aid in the conservation of pollinators more broadly.
"Towns and cities could be acting as important refuges for pollinators in the wider landscape, especially since agricultural areas can be limited in terms of the habitat they provide," Baldock says. "However we do need to protect and create good pollinator habitat for pollinators outside of towns and cities too."
Baldock and her co-authors make a number of recommendations to help policymakers and urban planners more fully realize the potential of cities to contribute to pollinator conservation.
"Our results suggest that community gardens (known as allotments in the U.K.) are good places for bees and other pollinating insects, and that creating more of them will benefit the pollinators in towns and cities," Baldock says. "These sites have been shown to be beneficial for human health and well-being, and they can also help boost local food production. Local authorities and urban planners need to recognize that creating more community gardens is a winning move, which will benefit people, pollinators, and sustainable food production."
The researchers also recorded high numbers of pollinating insects in residential gardens, which make up between one-fourth and one-third of the total area of the four cities included in the study. Urban planners and developers should include garden plots in all new housing developments, and all garden owners could improve their gardens by planting plants that pollinator insects prefer.
Though parks, road verges (also known as medians), and other green spaces collectively make up about one-third of the cities studied, the research team found far fewer pollinators in those areas than in gardens. "Our results suggest that increasing the numbers of flowers in these areas, potentially by mowing less often, could have a real benefit for pollinators (and save money)," Baldock says. "In the U.K., there are already several initiatives underway to encourage local authorities to mow less often."

/ E-registration deadline extended, applied to ...
E-registration deadline extended, applied to broader group of foreigners
IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? Authorities have extended to Jan. 12 the deadline for foreign nationals to complete e-registration. They have also indicated that foreign nationals seeking to extend 60-day temporary work permits should complete e-registration, even if they intend to leave the country within 90 days of arriving.
Implementation time frame: Between now and Jan. 12.
Visas/permits affected: All visas or permits.
Who is affected: Foreign nationals who are 18 or older and reside in Nigeria or intend to stay in Nigeria beyond the initial 60-day validity of their visas or work permit.
Business impact: Employers are encouraged to work with foreign employees to ensure they fulfill e-registration requirements.
Background: The Nigeria Immigration Service announced the e-registration program earlier this year, saying it is undertaking the effort to develop a database of foreign nationals and improve security through better-regulated borders and stronger immigration control. Officials originally set a Dec. 31 deadline, but have now extended the deadline to Jan. 12.
E-registration requires long-term foreign nationals who are 18 or older to visit an e-registration center in their state of residence. They are required to provide relevant documentation and information to complete an online registration form and have their biometrics taken. Initially, authorities indicated that only those who intended to remain in Nigeria for more than 90 days would be required to register. In some instances, however, officials have told foreign nationals to complete e-registration when extending 60-day temporary work permits even if they intend to stay for less than 90 days.
Analysis & Comments: Employers are encouraged to make sure that foreign employees complete e-registration as soon as possible if they are required to do so. Failure to register carries the possibility of stiff penalties, including up to three years in prison, a fine of 500,000 naira (about US$1,390), or both. Deloitte is available to assist employers in making sure their employees properly complete the e-registration procedures.

When it comes to insurance agencies, there are hundreds of options available to you but choosing the right one can be a challenge. You also have the option of buying an insurance policy online or by calling a toll-free number, but you should buy an insurance policy on your own only if you have simple requirements and you clearly understand the pros and cons of different types of policy covers.
Experts suggest hiring the services of an experienced and reliable life insurance agency in case you are buying slightly complicated insurance product including home insurance, business insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance or life insurance among other things. A good life insurance agency will not only help you choose the right type of insurance coverage, but they will also help you get it at the right price and you can also ask for their help when you need to make a claim. Here is a list of some of the important factors you need to look at in order to choose the right insurance agency.
First and foremost, you need to understand that there are many different types of insurance agents. One of the main types is the online or phone agents that are employed directly by the insurance company. Another type of insurance agent is a captive agent who is authorized to sell only a particular company's insurance products. These captive agents cannot sell insurance products of any other companies.
Then, there is the independent agents and brokers that are allowed to sell insurance products from a variety of companies and offer customers a wide range of options. They have appointments with insurance companies that authorize these agents to sell insurance products from many different companies. The biggest advantage of using an independent insurance agency or an agent is that you should be able to compare prices and coverage options from a number of companies and get the coverage you need at the right price.
It is important for you to know that there are small business insurance companies Florida, in all these three categories. The online or phone agents are a good choice for buying personal insurance that does not involve too much complexity but buying complex insurance products should not be done through call centers or online process. Keep in mind that when you need to file a claim, they won't be an insurance agent who will work on your behalf and help you get the money.
The advantage of using a captive agent is that they can advise you on choosing the right type of coverage keeping all your concerns in mind. They are a great option for a variety of personal insurance products including your home insurance, life insurance and auto insurance as well as some types of business products. However, these agents typically sell products from only a single insurance company which means you will need to look for a fresh start in case you do not like the type of coverage offered by that company or the renewal price. Also, you won't be able to shop the market when you work with a captive agent.
The biggest advantage of working with an independent agent is that they represent multiple insurance carriers and are not employed by any insurance carrier. They are likely to give you the right advice to get the right coverage at the best value. Also, an independent insurance agency usually has multiple agents that specialize in particular areas and work in tandem which means an independent insurance agency is likely to meet all your insurance requirements. Also, an independent agent is more likely to work on your behalf when you need to make a claim.
The best way to check the experience of a life insurance agent is to ask for their licensing. It will tell you the level of professional insurance experience they have. Needless to say, you want to work with someone who has been working in the industry for several years and is aware of various options to help you choose the right combination of insurance products based on your needs.
Some insurance agencies specialize in a particular type of insurance products. A specialized insurance agency makes for a great choice if you want only a particular type of insurance that is sold by the agency, but most people have varied insurance needs (personal and business). Therefore, it is recommended to work with an agency that handles various types of insurance you might need. It will make it easy for you to get all your needs fulfilled at one place.
Needless to say, if you do not like an insurance agent, you are not likely to get optimum results. It is important that the insurance agent you are working with takes time to understand your goals, your needs as well as your objectives for buying insurance. An agent that tries to hard sell certain products usually does not have your best interests in mind and you do not want to work with such agents. So, make sure you like them.
With time, your insurance agent is likely to become your trusted advisor. It is important to develop a professional and comfortable relationship with your insurance agent to get straightforward and informative responses to your queries as your insurance requirements will change with time. Therefore, you need to ensure that the chosen insurance agent is someone who matches your personality and you feel comfortable discussing things with them.
A professional insurance agent is someone who help their clients choose the right insurance products in order to provide them all the coverage they need, at the right price. Also, they help their customers with the claims process. Professional insurance agents are always available for their clients. They also continuously review the insurance portfolio of their clients to ensure proper coverage.
The best way to get an idea of the customer service of an insurance agency is to check their reviews on various discussion portals and review websites. Read the positive and negative reviews to get an idea of the value of their insurance advice as well as their assistance during the claims process among other things.
Overall, these are some of the important factors you should consider choosing the right insurance agency that suits your requirements. It is recommended to interview at least 3 to 5 insurance agencies and compare the services provided by them before you choose a particular agency. You should also know that your insurance agent will be earning a broker fee along with a commission and you can always negotiate the broker fees with the agent, but the commission cannot be negotiated as its fixed by the insurance company. You should also ask them how they will assist you in case you need to file a claim.

"Fixing the slaughter plants was easy," Temple Grandin told the 2015 annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF). "But now I see problems that we are going to have to fix at the farm: lame dairy cows, emaciated dairy cows because somebody let them go too long, animal production to the point we are starting to have problems with animal biology" (Grandin comments at http://tinyurl.com/qfohe24). "We need to look at what is optimal not what is maximum.
Grandin was at the AFBF meeting in San Diego to receive one of two Distinguished Service Awards presented to honor individuals who have devoted their careers to serving agriculture. Grandin is known to many for her work with slaughter plants to reduce animal stress during the slaughter process. The result is a system that is both more humane and more efficient. Grandin was born with autism, but ignoring the experts her parents kept her out of an institution and taught her how to speak.
After high school she went on to Franklin Pierce College and Arizona State University before receiving a PhD from the University of Illinois. Grandin is currently on the faculty at Colorado State University. She was the subject of a 2010 HBO movie, "Temple Grandin," starring Claire Danes. She has many animal welfare videos on YouTube and is a highly sought after speaker.
The comments she made in her brief acceptance remarks are a synopsis of her paper "Animal welfare and society concerns finding the missing link," published in Meat Science (Grandin, T., Animal welfare and society concerns finding the missing link, Meat Science (2014), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.meatsci.2014.05.011). In that paper she points out than in today's highly urbanized culture most young adults have little connection to or knowledge about farming and farming practices. This lack of knowledge deprives them of context when it comes to understanding a video clip involving farm animals.
Talking about industry response to consumer concerns, Grandin points out that video cameras are ubiquitous. She suggests that industry become proactive by videoing their operations so everyone can see how things work. In her remarks to the press, Grandin praised one operator for providing 24/7 camera feeds of their animal operations. She also advocates opening up farms for public tours as a means of creating an informed consumer base.
"Bad responses from the U.S. industry are so-called Ag Gag laws which make it a crime to take undercover video. This sends the wrong message to today's consumer. Agriculture has to look at everything it does and ask themselves, 'Can I explain this to my guests from the city,'" Grandin writes (for a similar discussion see our column 656 http://tinyurl.com/klwr8l5).

The 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic had a significant impact on migration flows in the Russian territory. The factors attracting the population to megacities have reduced their impact, giving rise to centrifugal forces which in turn has led to an increase in atypical migration processes, primarily to a massive outflow of citizens to out-of-town spaces. This process can be termed "crisis deurbanization". The article examines the features of the current Russian Pandemic deurbanization, taking place in the specific Russian conditions of incomplete urbanization and, at the same time, the beginning of a posturbanization stage. In March-April-May 2020 the migration for short, medium and long distances to country homes in Moscow, Vladimir, Kostroma, Vologda and Nizhny Novgorod regions had reached its climax. The so-called "second homes" of the townspeople from now on fully began to combine recreational, "quarantine-sanitary" and work functions, which allows them to be used for long-term residence also after the end of the crisis. This clearly indicates prospects for formation in the future of settlement clusters of immigrants from megacities.

On 23 August 2017, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands delivered a landmark judgment in Primeo Fund (in Official Liquidation) (Primeo) v Bank of Bermuda (Cayman Limited) and HSBC Securities Services (Luxembourg) SA (HSSL) (together the HSBC Defendants).
In his judgment, Mr Justice Jones QC found that the HSBC Defendants breached various ongoing duties to Primeo, a Madoff feeder fund, in respect of the appointment and supervision of Bernard L Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS) as its sub-custodian.
Primeo was an investment fund incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 1993. It had directly invested in BLMIS until 1 May 2007 and, from that point on, had indirectly invested in BLMIS through two other Madoff feeder funds domiciled in the Cayman Islands, Herald Fund SPC (In Official Liquidation) (Herald) and Alpha Prime Fund Limited (Alpha).
With the arrest of Bernard Madoff in December 2008 and the discovery of the world's largest Ponzi scheme, Primeo's liquidators issued legal proceedings in 2013 against the HSBC Defendants in relation to losses incurred as a result of the Madoff fraud.
Primeo alleged, amongst other things, gross negligence on the part of the HSBC Defendants in respect of the performance of their contractual duties as custodian and administrator and claimed damages in excess of USD 2 billion in connection with its losses.
The Court ruled that HSSL had breached its ongoing supervisory obligations to Primeo in respect of BLMIS as sub-custodian to Primeo. It was found by the Court that HSSL owed continuing contractual duties to satisfy itself about the ongoing suitability of BLMIS as sub-custodian and to require BLMIS to implement effective safeguards to protect Primeo's assets.
It was an implied term of the custodian agreement in place that HSSL would exercise the care and skill expected of a reasonably competent global custodian and the fact that Primeo had appointed BLMIS to act as sub-custodian did not vitiate HSSL's supervisory duties.
Notably Mr Justice Jones QC held that having regard to BLMIS' business model and associated heightened operational risks, HSSL had failed to recommend that (i) a separate Depositary Trust Company (DTC) account be established to hold Primeo's securities (as opposed to being held in BLMIS' single omnibus account at the DTC) and/or make use of the Institutional Delivery System (ID System) and (ii) a separate sub-account at Bank of New York be established to hold Primeo's US Treasury Bills. The Court commented that in both instances, the 'safeguards would be equally effective if BLMIS had established the accounts for Primeo alone or for HSBC's relevant clients collectively'.
The Court accepted expert evidence on behalf of Primeo which stated that by requiring BLMIS to establish these sub-accounts, and through use of the ID System, it would have been possible to independently verify the existence of Primeo's assets.
Failure to apply these readily available and 'most effective safeguards' amounted to a breach of duty on the part of HSSL and, if implemented, would have been effective to safeguard Primeo's assets, the Court determined. The Court concluded that 'when the normal procedure is known to be ineffective, failing to apply a readily available alternative is negligent'.
Despite the Court's findings of breach of duty by the HSBC Defendants, Primeo's claim was dismissed on the basis of a number of technical legal arguments dealing with, amongst other issues, limitation and reflective loss points.
Although Primeo's claim was ultimately unsuccessful, the judgment is significant in terms of stating the professional and legal standards expected of investment fund service providers operating in the Cayman Islands and will be of some interest in the Irish context. Whether or not the judgment will be appealed remains to be seen.
