Victory! An End to the 50-Mile Regulation
June 29, 2018 / Jason Bayless
I have been interviewing and working with migrant farmworkers at the Buena Vista Migrant Camp since 1997. The state's 24 migrant camps provide some of the only affordable, decent housing for farmworkers. The common and biggest complaint among farmworkers who live at the camp is the 50-mile regulation. This state regulation forces migrants to leave the camp at the end of the season in November and move a distance from the camp of at least fifty miles, if they wish to return the following season.
Nearly all farmworker parents want their children educated so they'll have career choices in life other than working in the fields. However, the 50-mile regulation disrupts children's education by forcing them to attend at least two schools each year. The disruption causes children to fall further and further behind in school and eventually drop out before completing high school. Their choices are then very limited, and many continue the cycle of poverty by becoming farmworkers.
Some parents are so committed to their children's education that they send them away to live with friends or relatives during the school year; thereby providing their children with consistent education in a single school. However, parents complain of family separation and missing their children.
Governor Brown's signature to the 2018 Budget Trailer Bill will allow those migrants with school-age children to remain in camp for the entire school year; thereby providing children with consistent education in one school throughout the school year. Thousands of school children living in the camps will be affected by Governor Brown's actions. Children will have a chance to break the cycle of poverty and look forward to a better life.
Because of you and your ongoing support, this monumental positive change is possible. Thank-you for the many ways you have supported Center for Farmworker Families and made our work possible. We look forward to continued future collaboration in our efforts to bring justice and a better life to the people that are responsible for our food supply, the farmworkers.

California Stands up for Children of Farmworkers, Lifts Key Barrier to Education
Provision in California State Budget, passed yesterday, now exempts farmworker families from "50-mile rule" interrupting school year.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Thousands of schoolchildren are celebrating the passage of the state budget because it creates a new exemption to the oppressive "50-mile rule" that previously forced them to change schools twice each year, a barrier to getting an education.
The exemption was sponsored in Sacramento by Food Empowerment Project (F.E.P.), a food justice organization that addresses inequities in the food system, and The Center for Farmworker Families, a nonprofit improving the lives of farmworker families. Assemblymember Anna M. Caballero (D-Salinas) authored the exemption, which became California Law.
A regulation of the California Department of Housing and Community Development requires farmworkers to leave state-subsidized housing provided to migrant labor, and move at least 50 miles away, in order to be eligible for housing the following year. The law is a relic of a time when migrant workers were primarily young, single men – but today, the state's agricultural workers are a vastly different demographic, and include families with approximately 3,500 children, according to research by Kaveh Danesh, economics PhD candidate at UC Berkeley studying poverty and inequality.
Children's education is grievously interrupted each time they are forced to move. Families eligible for housing in the state's 24 housing centers were obligated to leave their school districts in November, two months into the K-12 academic year, and return in May near the end of the year, often too late for standardized testing. This disruption "contributes to academic failure and a persistent cycle of poverty," according to Dr. Ann López, executive director of the Center for Farmworker Families.
"Mexican American children of farmworkers represent the only targeted minority group in the state of California that is deprived of consistent childhood education," said López.
"This damaging racist policy has now been corrected." "The 50-mile regulation was a violation of the basic human right of education, and intentionally harmed children of farmworkers," said F.E.P. executive director Iauren Ornelas. "The people who feed all of us sacrifice so much for their children, and this unfair hardship was an added oppression."
"Children are the most important infrastructure program we have, and staying in their schools will contribute to everyone having a better quality of life," said Harry Snyder, is Advocacy Leader in Residence, UC Berkeley School of Public Health. "These families have worked for decades so their children can have the opportunity other kids have. California's future is enhanced by these children, who know firsthand that hard work pays off, getting the education they want."
"The arbitrary 50-mile rule has long forced migrant families to move at the end of the agricultural season and take their children out of school mid-year, causing children to fall behind," said Caballero. "Now, after months of working with stakeholders and the Administration, this wrong has been corrected. School-aged children and their families will now be allowed to reside at OMS centers year-round, so children can stay enrolled in the same school. There is no question that education is vital to a child's future success. Housing and school stability will allow the children of migrant farmworkers to focus on their studies and on learning, not on the anxiety of moving to a new school mid-year."
The exemption allows for up to half of all migrant worker housing to be exempt if needed by families with children in K-12 schools.
The two organizations, which have been advocating for this change since 2010, wish to thank those who sent letters, attended protests, called their legislators, contributed research, and wish to thank farmworkers for their efforts.
The exemption is in effect only until 2024, and will need to be made permanent at that point.

It is a privilege to have the opportunity to play a role in reducing individual's pain. Modern pain science and advancements in neuroscience support the role of massage therapy in this endeavor.
As the great Diane Jacob, PT states, the skin is essentially the outside of the brain. The nervous system and the skin both arise from the embryological ectoderm. Massage creates "useful impulses" that can often result in pain reduction.
My practice is evidence-led and focused on pain relief and functional restoration, working in conjunction with your other health-care providers. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.


Security startup Terbium says it can find stolen data in the dark corners of the Internet by using data fingerprinting techniques.
The company is called Terbium Labs, named after a malleable, silver-gray element. CEO Danny Rogers and CTO Michael Moore say they're taking a large scale, computational approach to finding pilfered data.
Terbium's product, Matchlight, uses data fingerprinting techniques to create hashes of an organization's data in fragments as small as 14 bytes. Only those hashes -- which can't be transformed back into the original data -- are stored by Terbium.
The other major component of Terbium's service is a massive private index of the so-called Dark and Deep Web, both terms for hard-to-find websites and crevices of the Internet where cybercriminals trade and sell data.
The hashes collected from companies by Terbium are then compared with data shared on the Web, "which is a way for us to automatically search for an element of the company's data without actually knowing what that data is," Rogers said.
"The number one concern for information security folks at these large enterprises is control and protection of the data, even from their own vendors," he said. "So this allows them to search for things without having to reveal what those things are."
Because the hashing and comparing is done in real time, the company said it can shorten the breach discovery time -- which in some studies ranges up to six to eight months -- down to minutes.
Companies can choose what applications or data stores they want Terbium to monitor. If Matchlight finds something similar on the Dark Web, it can score it, which gives an idea of how similar it may be to the company's data.
Terbium spiders and indexes obscure parts of the Web, such as Tor hidden services, which are websites using the anonymity system to obscure the sites' real IP addresses. Hidden sites are increasingly favored by hackers, as it makes it harder for law enforcement to track.
The indexing system naturally follows links posted within the Dark Web. "Where we're looking at are places where people are leaking or are trying to monetize data," Rogers said.
Rogers said the first day Terbium turned Matchlight on, it found in a single 24-hour period 20,000 to 30,000 credit card numbers and 600 leaked email addresses and passwords. Both sets of data were detected minutes after being posted, Rogers said.
Several Fortune 500 companies, including health insurers, manufacturers and financial services ones, are beta testing Matchlight now.
Terbium hasn't determined pricing yet, but it is considering a flat rate based on data volumes or the number of records monitored, Rogers said.

Site-Enhancing Oils May Cause Systemic, Life-Threatening Complications

The use of site-enhancing-oils (SEOs) for liquid body contouring is a risky practice and may lead to systemic and life-threatening complications, according to study data published in Clinics in Dermatology.
Liquid body contouring through intramuscular injection of SEOs for muscle volume enlargement is becoming a popular practice among bodybuilders, researchers explain. However, the immediate and long-term health consequences remain unclear, and post-injection complications are seldom reported in medical literature.
In a retrospective study, researchers identified a total of 10 patients with a history of single or multiple SEO use. All patients were men (mean age, 37 years; age range, 23 to 60 years) and presented from May 2016 to July 2021. All were admitted on average 9 years (range, 3-20 years) after the injections.
Researchers found that most patients experienced painful swelling and nodular indurations in the injected target muscles, which occurred months to years after injection. A total of 2 patients exhibited signs of infection such as erythema, elevated body temperature, and local inflammatory symptoms. Also, 1 patient presented additionally with a severe case of nonparathyroid hypercalcemia. A total of 4 patients underwent surgical treatment. All 4 patients reported symptom improvement following surgical excision, but certain side effects including nonparathyroid hypercalcemia have not been cured.
The study may have been limited by the retrospective design.
The researchers encourage athletes and medical professionals to "be mindful of the serious side-effects associated with these injections and bear in mind the potentially systemic and life-threatening complications." They also note that "surgical treatment should be performed timely if possible in order to avoid severe complications."

Kickycan, there is a sure way to win a discussion.
1. Learn every long word or latin word in the dictionary.
2. Learn a lot of unknown writer's names and the books that they have published, but don't actually read the book.
3. Write a nonsensical argument that makes just enough sense to be read. Add many large words that nobody else knows and use those author's books as proof without actually writing any quotes. The reader should be confused enough to think that you are the ultimate authority on everything. Congratulations, you have just received your diploma.
By the way, a discussion is to prove a point while an argument is simply for the sake of arguing until the other person gives up.

Most of my past experiences with 360-video-cameras were rather disappointing. I was one of the first users of Kodak SP360 and Ricoh Theta, the low video resolution was unforgivable.
When Samsung launched the new Gear 360 camera 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about the visual quality. After battling many days of considerations, I gave in to temptation to try it. Thankfully, I have a spare Samsung Note 5. If not, this would be a very heavy investment for anyone who wants to own it.
The Samsung Gear 360 is very easy to use. Just turn on the spheric camera and the operation comes intuitively. I was so excited to test the camera that I forgot to bring my Samsung phone out. The phone acts as a remote viewfinder and controller for the 360-camera. Fortunately, the Gear 360 worked just fine without the phone.
Battery life was pretty decent. The camera was switched on continuously for about 90 minutes. I shot over 20 photographs, 4 time-lapse videos and 10-minute footages. By the time I reached home, there was still 60% battery power remaining in the camera.
Shooting 360 was a breeze but it took additional steps to share the video on social media. Before I can share any video or photo, I have to stitch & save both images and footages via the Samsung Gear 360 app.
The original uncompressed picture, video and audio quality was surprisingly promising (viewing on the smart phone and computer). It exceeded my expectation. However, the final viewing quality on Facebook & Youtube underwent heavy compression and the final result was less than satisfactory. Also, there is a minor flaw in the stitching. Often I can spot the stitch line on the video and photo. Hopefully Samsung releases a new firmware or app to solve this.
The biggest difficulty I encountered was transferring the files and editing the videos via a Mac. Samsung Gear 360 App allows individual file-sharing to Youtube or Facebook. However, I wanted to edit all the 360 media files into one single vlog. I realised I cannot edit and publish these 360 files via iMovie. Also, Samsung 360 Director software file is only for Windows user. It is a frustrating experience to download, edit and publish Samsung Gear 360 files using a Mac.
Like many Mac users, I checked many websites and Youtube videos to learn how to export the Samsung 360 files. After 2 days of exploration and many failed testings, I finally found the simpliest way.
1) First, I have to install "Samsung SmartSwitch" (file transfer app) to download the stitched 360-files from the Samsung device to my Mac.
2) Once I have downloaded the stitched files (photos and videos) onto my Mac, I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro. At this moment, Adobe Premiere Elements doesn't support any VR video editing or exporting.
7) Youtube and Facebook will detect the video and automatically stream 360. Do exercise patience. It takes about 15-30 minutes for the 360 video to be live. Hang on there!
That's it! I finally got my first 360 Vlog up and running! If only this 360 cam can be integrated on the Osmo and Phantom 4, it will be perfect! Who knows, maybe DJI has something in their sleeves now!
I love you're tutorial, i designed a mount for my 3DR Solo. – Obvious problem, all videos will be upside down! I import files from my galaxy S7 Edge, drop them into Premiere , transform vertically and then output. ONLY problem is I have premiere CS6 no CC so their is no option for monoscopic output!. And i really dont want to pay 19.95/month for premiere CC. Any suggestions. I'm using the 7 day trail and was able to get one to work in CC. But once my trial runs out what now!?!?!?
Hi, I am not very familiar with this too. Hope you find a solution soon. Cheers!
Hey man, I just came across this. I run a software company in Singapore, and we are building a Mac app which can let your stitch Samsung Gear 360 camera videos and trim it, add music and post to FB and YT directly (app will do the meta data injection required). So stay tuned, we expect to release it as soon as end Nov!

2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob review, test ride
3rd Oct 2017 6:46 pm
The 2018 Fat Bob is a stunning machine that promises loads of performance. We ride it on some twisty Catalan roads.
Priyadarshan Bawikar Author
Make : Harley Davidson
Model : Fat-Bob
Harley-Davidson's Touring line-up which debuted last year with the new Milwaukee-Eight engine proved to be rather impressive. The Milwaukee-Eight, in fact, was H-D's only third all-new big twin engine in 80 years, and it brought with it a whole raft of features including four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder, a larger alternator, improved air box and even oil-cooling. Recently, this new motor has become the basis for the company's new Softail line-up which encompasses eight models – the Fat Boy, Fat Bob, Street Bob, Low Rider, Deluxe, Slim, Breakout and the Heritage Classic. If you know your Harleys, you might say, "Hold up… aren't the Bobs and the Fat Boy actually Dynas and not Softails?" Well, that was the case until now, as the Dyna line-up has been consolidated into the 2018 Softail and built around the same core platform.
Of the eight new Softails which have been launched, four are headed to India. But the most radical looking of these has to be the Fat Bob, so we decided to give it a go first.
Mean and muscular
In Harley's own words, the new Fat Bob was designed for the zombie apocalypse, and I have no difficulty in believing that it would look perfect ridden by Milla Jovovich in the next Resident Evil movie. A lot of that is down to the smallish 16-inch wheels running chunky 150-section front and 180-section rear tyres, along with the fat 2-1-2 bronze-finished exhaust headers culminating into twin stubby mufflers. The muscular look of the Fat Bob is further enhanced by the extremely short, chopped fenders at both ends. However, the empty space under the rear fender makes it looks like something is missing from the back of the bike. While the entire 2018 Softail range gets LED headlights, the Fat Bob's rectangular headlamp unit is extremely unique and plays a big part in the wild look Harley was going for with this bike.
At the heart of the new Softails is a common engine and chassis architecture that is a departure from traditional Harley-Davidson engineering in many ways. The Milwaukee-Eight is available in two different capacities – the 114 (1,868cc) and the 107 (1,745cc), with India only getting the latter spec. For the new Softails, the engine has been updated with twin counter-balancers, making the vibrations a lot lower than before; this has allowed the engineers at Harley to attach the motor to the new frame without rubber mounts, essentially letting it become a stressed member of the chassis. There is also a slight drop in the peak torque figure, which now sits at 145Nm which comes in a bit lower at 3,000rpm.
Harley says that it has also worked on improving heat management of this motor. The exhaust valves are oil-cooled ('precision oil cooling' in Harley speak), and the traditional underseat oil reservoir has been dumped in favour of an oil pan in the engine sump. The latter is supposed to reduce the amount of heat felt by riders. However, on our ride through the Spanish countryside outside Barcelona, the ambient temperature was quite low, so we will reserve judgement on how much of this engine heat is perceptible for when we ride the bikes in India. The one big advantage of more efficient cooling has been a bump up in compression ratio compared to older Harley-Davidson motors resulting in a motor that's quick to rev.
While torque may have dropped, performance has actually gone up, thanks to a healthy weight loss programme that has seen reductions of about 6 to 8kg just for the chassis and up to 17kg overall. And speaking about the chassis, the newly designed frame is said to be 65 percent stiffer than that on the outgoing Softail models. There are slight variations in the frames of all the new Softail bikes ranging from varying steering head angle suiting each design and riding style, as well as two variations in swing arm widths to accommodate different sized rear tyres. The swing arms along with the rear suspension have been completely redesigned and are similar to the new Triumph Bobber's 'swing cage' setup with a monoshock hidden under the seat. Apart from the obvious benefits to ride quality and handling, this has allowed for a traditional Harley-Davidson hard-tail look.
Front suspension too has seen a massive update, with the bikes getting Showa dual-bending valve forks for a significantly improved handling package, except for the Fat Bob which gets even sportier inverted forks. So strong is this new mantra for improving handling that even the six-speed transmission has been lifted up by a few degrees to improve the bikes' cornering clearance.
Tackling tarmac
The Fat Bob is meant to be the performance model from the new Softail range and the way it has been set-up attests to that. At 28 degrees, it has the sharpest rake of the lot and it's even a degree steeper than the outgoing model. Plus this is the only bike in this range that gets 43mm inverted forks and twin front disc brakes, much like the new Roadster. This model also gets a remote preload adjustor for the rear monoshock. Now when was the last time you saw this on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle?
The steering geometry and suspension setup easily make up for the chunky tyres and this fatty is surprisingly nimble, though it doesn't turn it as quickly as the Street Bob. However, it scores higher in mid-corner stability and gets significantly improved cornering clearance at each side. After two days of hard riding over some non-stop twisting and turning Catalan roads, of all the Softails we rode, the Fat Bob scraped its pegs the least. The feet-forward posture might not appear conducive to going fast around bends, but the bike manages to do that with an almost uncharacteristic grace, provided you put in the effort at the handlebars that is.
Bated breath
The Fat Bob, along with the other India-bound Softails will be launched by mid-October in the country. As we've seen with the company's updated Milwaukee-Eight-powered Touring line-up that came last year, prices are likely be bumped up a bit. With the older Fat Bob costing Rs 13.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India), we expect that the new one to be priced between Rs 14.5 lakh and Rs 15 lakh. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but easily justifiable considering just how good the Fat Bob has now become.

He viciously beat Mary and her three cats—again. Mary packed a bag, got into her car alone, and drove to a shelter for battered women. One big problem: pets weren't allowed. After she left, her batterer picked up Toby, the tabby, and threw him from the balcony to the ground three stories below. That's where he was when a neighbor found him. As gently as possible, she cradled his small body, taking him to her apartment and then gathered the other cats.

With new package designs by tattoo artist Maxime Büchi, you can get cool new versions of your favourite Sebastian styling products. Items included are Craft Clay, Drynamic +, Shaper Fierce, Volupt Spray, Sublimate and my favourite, Potion 9.
If you know someone that can't live without their Kérastase Discipline (I'm one of them), this is a great way to get their basics all in one place. With the Discipline shampoo, conditioner and thermal spray; it's also a great way to introduce someone with unruly, frizzy hair to the products that will give them super smooth hair.
if you know someone with coloured hair that's also in need of smoothing, the ColorProof Glam Girl gift is a great place to start. It has the CrazySmooth shampoo and conditioner plus the PlushLocks Leave-In Smooth. Perfect for dried out winter hair.
Dessange Paris is bringing the salon feel to your hair at home with this balancing collection. If you are looking for something totally different, then keep on reading.
This hair care line starts very different than any other hair line you use. You start with the Dessange Paris Purifying Clay Pre-Shampoo Mask. This hair mask is made to help oily scalps by absorbing all of that oil before you get in the shower. You have to use a little brush to apply this green clay all over your scalp. You are going to look silly and probably make a bit of a mess. That is just a warning! Now you have to wait about five to ten minutes before you hop in the shower to rinse it all out.
Once you get in the shower, it's now time for the Balancing Shampoo. When all of the mask is rinsed out, you can continue to wash your hair with this shampoo. It's interesting to think of the shampoo as what is conditioning your hair, but this cleanser does add back in some of that moisture. It is especially nice one the ends of your hair.
It was really hard to not condition my hair after using both of these products. Everything I know about my hair leads me to want to condition, so I resisted the urge.
My hair still felt nice and soft once it had dried like normal. I feel like the routine a woman has before a shower is a sacred thing. Everyone has little things that they do to get ready and this Dessange hair mask interrupts that. It's fun to do it once, but I don't know if I am willing to mix up my whole routine for this.
If you think that dry, frizzed out hair belongs exclusively to winter then you haven't lived through a ridiculously hot Toronto summer, where your hair is basically fried the entire season thanks to the sun. Especially if you have curly hair that has any kind of bleach in it. OGX has two coconut hair collections; Nourishing + Coconut Milk and Quenching + Coconut Curls, and it wasn't until I put them together that I started having really good hair days again. Here's what I used to save my hair.
I'm actually not a huge coconut fan, I can basically take it or leave it but these smell delicious. The shampoo is a thicker, almost jelly like texture that lathers really well. It doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped and I can actually go without conditioner if I have to. The conditioner though, is fantastic. It's also thick and really soaks into my hair. I use very little at my roots, something that's strange for someone who likes to slather conditioner everywhere, and just use a bunch on the bottom length. I leave it in my a couple minutes and have significantly more moisture and less frizz.
I use this curling butter for everything. I put it on dry hair as a pre-wash treatment, use it as a deep conditioner (although not if I'm using the Coconut Milk conditioner) and use it as a leave-in conditioning styling cream. It's a lot thinner than it looks and doesn't have a straight coconut scent, it's more like a tropical pina colada scent. But it gets rid of more frizz than nearly anything else I've tried and doesn't leave me with a crunchy or greasy feeling.
Although my hair was mostly in a ponytail this summer, I probably would've chopped it off completely without this regime of OGX products. I knew I liked OGX before but I didn't expect to love them this much.
My least favourite part about packing for a trip is trying to figure out what I'll need for my hair. Is it going to be humid? Dry? Windy? But I've found some products that make it really easy to have a good hair day, every day of you're away.
There's nothing better than a brush you can throw in your purse, especially when it comes with a cover that keeps it safe from whatever's lurking in there. And the Tangle Teezer's mini Compact Styler is the perfect brush for travelling. It's gentle, effective and comes in a bunch of super cute designs and colours.
A lot of hotels have blow dryers in their bathrooms but this Sephora brand mini dryer is better than what you'll find in most. Because it's ionic, you can blow dry your hair in half the time and get rid of a lot of your frizz for smooth hair. In theory you can use this anywhere in the world but I have heard of some European outlets making it short out, so you might want to keep this one in North America.
There's never a question that if I'm travelling, I'm taking my Moroccanoil treatment with me. This time the shampoo, conditioner and Intense Hydrating Mask are coming along. With all my basic hair needs covered in one set, it'll make my life a lot easier.
Sometimes you want to go for different styles while you're away and this travel kit from Drybar will make it really simple. With The Chaser Shine Cream, Mai Tai Spritzer Sea Salt Spray and Triple Sec 3-in-1 all included, you can really get any look you want. And the name is so great.

1. Size - Your OE (outer envelope) doesn't have to be a standard size. While it may cost more in postage to mail a non-standard envelope, this could be your best investment for standing out in a stack of predictable #10s or 6" x 9"s.
3. Color - If you've already got a winning control OE and you're looking for a simple test to bump response, test color. Keep everything else about the mailing the same. If it's white, make it blue. If it's blue, test a color that reflects your brand.
9. Window vs. closed face - Traditionally, window envelopes were used for business mail while closed face envelopes were thought to look more personal, more private. But this trend is changing. Window envelopes can provide a peek of your envelope's contents — no matter what you're selling.
11. Corner card/return address - A powerful piece of real estate, the corner card is that relatively small area in the upper left corner of an OE. It's one of the places the screener's eye goes first while deciding whether or not to keep your mail piece. That's because it reveals who sent the mailing. Treat it as an important strategic element."

Ever notice how pervasive stories are?
Stories can be found every time interesting, entertaining communication occurs.
Think of books, movies, gossip, documentaries, television series, good advertisements, biographies, autobiographies, news reports, ........ the list goes on and on.
When people want to communicate about events in entertaining, effective ways we make really good use of stories.
Every nation in the world makes really good use of stories and the same narrative structure to build and maintain culture and community.
Stories are told to and shared between all ages from babies to centenarians we can all enjoy and appreciate a good story. There's something warm and loving about the way human beings share stories.
Here's a photo that's a bit precious to me. You can probably guess that it's me and my dad and a Koala (from Lone Pine Sanctuary in Brisbane). It reminds me of all the times we went on family excursions and picnics and trips.
Telling stories from your family and personal life to children is a really good sharing activity to model for young children, especially if you tell those stories in entertaining ways.
Think about the good times you had as children with your family and friends or parents with your children and tell some of those stories as if you are in the story.
Telling these personal and family stories to children is a wonderful gift of friendship you are giving them and modelling for them.
Each and every culture around the world has stories which keep on being told to children for hundreds of years. Some of them are so popular or so important that they travel from one culture to another and are told in different languages. I remember well the delight I experienced when I heard 'Little Red Riding Hood' being told in Italian as 'Capucetta Rosa'.
Why wouldn't it be popular to young children around the world?
If you think about its theme from the point of view of the young child - 'innocent young person is sent off on a caring mission to help someone she loves but has to overcome a really big challenge by being observant and brave and she and the person she loves is rescued by a caring adult' - it's a pretty interesting story to explore and think about.
It makes a lot of sense that we should be able to tell these stories in entertaining ways for children. The more fun they have listening to stories like these the more positive and memorable the exploration learning will be for them.
A fine example of one of these stories that has been passed around the world, published and republished and told many times is called 'Caps for Sale'. You've probably all read the book that makes it look like a European story but I wouldn't mind betting that it is probably of Indian or Chinese origin. I usually tell it a set of caps for props and I've worked out how to give everyone in the audience a role.
I have three children being trees, they can pick what sort. I have a 'pedlar', 6 or 7 monkeys and the rest I ask to be birds who are pecking and chirping from the ground. The key thing is to have someone who can speak out quite well as the pedlar.
Now this usually goes really well, we have lots of fun, especially the monkeys and I bring it all to a successful conclusion.
One day however a boy, aged somewhere between three and four, gave us a wonderful demonstration of his mastery of narrative structure and storytelling. He'd been picked to be one of the trees and normally they don't do an awful lot in the story and I was at the stage of guiding the pedlar through his negotiation with the tricky monkeys when I heard him sing out, "This tree is dying!"
I looked around and there he was standing with the other two trees but his branches and trunk were all drooping and very sad looking. I asked the audience, "Oh no, what will do?"
Somebody said, "Water him." So we all mimed picking up a watering can and watering him. He straightened up with a smile on his face and we all thought something like, "That was great, on with the story." Towards the end though, we heard again, "This tree is really dying!" This time when we looked around our tree was flat on the ground with his branches stretched out. What could do? Someone said, "Call an ambulance!" So we had an ambulance, a couple of ambos who brought first aid water, they watered him and he arose from the dead and triumphed of the stage.
Now this boy was a master of narrative communication because he knew how to get some action and attention by using the story and story structure. He didn't say, "I'm bored." He didn't even say, "This tree is bored." He said, "This tree is dying!"
Magic? No. He had been immersed in story and narrative structure and was obviously very used to making sense of his world and the things that happened in it with story. Yes he interrupted but he did so without being disruptive. In fact he added to the story and the story potential.
As well as that, the audience responded in story as well. 'Water him.' 'Call an ambulance.' Story and storytelling was obviously an important activity at that centre. The gift that centre had given all of those children was enourmous.
Your centre can, partly through the regular programming and development of a whole range of storytelling, story reading, story creation, story publishing and story communication, develop a vibrant, human, fun loving culture of creativity which will stay with your children for the rest of their lives.

Q: NIC card using strange IP address I'm using Windows Vista on a laptop, and while my wireless card works fine and takes the address the wireless router's DHCP server gives it, for some reason when I plug my (built-in) laptop NIC port into the router via ethernet, the IP address assigned to the NIC is something like 169.254.xxx.xxx -- nothing close to the 192.168.0.xxx address range the DHCP server is supposed to be handing out.  It sounds like an old address I used at college whenever I plugged into the lab.
The NIC card is set to use auto configuration values for IP addresses --v4 and v6-- nothing hardcoded that I can see.  I've tried several things (ipconfig /release, rebooting) to clear that address but nothing does the trick.  Anyone know what I'm missing?

A: What you're getting is known as an APIPA address. This is basically a DHCP failover mechanism specific to Windows which automatically assigns you an address in the range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254 if it could not make an agreement with, or find, your DHCP server.
This could indicate a problem with your NIC or even the router. Check the router settings to ensure you are not filtered by MAC address for example. If you aren't using IPv6 for anything, see if disabling it helps.

Nolan admitted he wasn't exactly sure what direction to take with Miss Cavallo who has now won nearly three times her purchase price as a yearling of $55,000.
"Really I don't know if she would be up to the better horses in the winter. But then again after she failed at her first start and we spelled her. She has come back a better filly," Nolan said.
"She won first-up like a good horse in a midweek and she was then second in the Aquis Jewel at the Gold Coast."
"Miss Cavallo has come out and won like a smart horse today. I think she will get at least 1400m but whether that is in the winter or next season I don't know. Still if she keeps improving like this we will have to see."
Miss Cavallo is by Nicconi out of the mare Soaring Angel and was bred by Nolan's uncle Basil at Raheen Stud.
"I always like winning races for Raheen and I think Miss Cavallo can give them a few more boosts," he said.

Students laud US' decision to reverse deportation policy
Jul 17, 2020 | The Big Stories | 0 comments
By Shermain Bique-Charles
Antiguan and Barbudan students enrolled in US institutions, and who had been under threat of deportation once their classes were delivered fully online, are breathing a sigh of relief.
Recently, the students had expressed frustration and concern for their future, after some universities and colleges announced decisions to move all courses online, and the US government's subsequent announcement it would revoke the visas of all affected foreign students.
However, on Tuesday, the Trump administration rescinded its policy aimed at barring international students who only take online courses from staying in the US.
The decision comes a little over a week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that students at schools offering only online courses due to the coronavirus pandemic would need to either leave the US or transfer to schools that deliver in-person instruction.
"When I heard what they were going to do I started to panic. I was very nervous. I bit my nails and I wasn't even aware. With the whole Covid-19 thing, nobody wants to be travelling in US ports," an Antiguan student in the US told Observer.
The student did not want to be named but she said other students, who are also from the twin island state and are in the US, were also worried.
"We would call each other every day wondering what we were going to do. Even our parents were concerned as well," she said.
However, the White House is now focused on having the rule apply only to new students, instead of students already in the US.
According to reports, the US government's about-face came after at least two prestigious American universities threatened to sue over the decision, which they stated would significantly affect their revenues.
When the initial decision first came to light, Antigua and Barbuda's Director of Education, Clare Browne, told Observer that his ministry was monitoring the situation for any potential impact on students from the twin island nation.

Out running errands the other night, Master Pravus and me saw a giant bear! It's true that I don't have a lot of bears, but Master says that what I don't have in bears I make up for in size! I mean, I have Bearbosa, who is a sizable bear too, but he's not for snuggling. He sits up high on a shelf and he is not a snuggle buggle like this bear.
When I saw Stephen (that's this bear's name!) I struggled to lift him (I believe he is over my three pound lifting limit…) but I did manage to eventually get him into the cart. Master stood there and giggled at me, and said how cute I looked with him.
I was grinning like an idiot looking at Stephen, and he even made Master smile. Such jaunty ears and toe beans to spare! You can't even see his swishy-wishy taily-waily from this angle, but trust me, it's adorable. Also, the bear was on sale for a pittance.
He let me keep the bear.
Of course, as with any new plush that comes into our house we had to do a photo shoot with it. I hope you enjoy seeing me with Stephen as much as Master and me enjoyed taking pictures. Stephen hasn't figured out quite where he will live in the house yet, but we'll figure it out soon. In the meantime, we're trying random places out to see where he works.
Styxxie had to investigate. After all, we're talking about a four and a half foot tall bear! It's almost as big as her mama!

Steve is a ECB qualified Level 3 coach and FTA 1 and 2 qualified Personal Trainer. He held a professional cricket contract with Derbyshire County Cricket Club from 2001-2004 and played alongside internationals such as Dominic Cork and Rob Bailey (England), Michael Divenuto (AUS), Shahid Afridi (Pakistan) and Mohammed Kaif (India). He has also played several full seasons of cricket abroad, in Perth and Sydney, Australia. From 2005-2008, Steve played for Dorset ccc in the minor county championship, averaging 72 with the bat in 2005.
It is from these experiences, in both the UK and Australia, that he draws his principles and enthusiasm for coaching and the nurturing and development of young players. Working on his own game, and developing his coaching principles with Neil 'Noddy' Holder (batting coach to Justin Langer, Mike Hussey and Owais Shah) in Perth, Steve has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience which he has used to develop his own coaching techniques.
Steve's elite level coaching and playing experience is coupled with his background at Loughborough University's Centre of Cricket Excellence (where he also gained a degree in Politics with Sociology), and their cricket training and fitness programs, as well as his Personal Fitness Qualification from Premier Global.
"I've developed a passion for coaching since finishing my professional career with Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 2004. I began working with Neil 'Noddy' Holder in Perth, Western Australia - Batting Coach to Justin Langer, Mike Hussey, Owais Shah and many other state and County Players. It was the inspiration that I gained from his passion and enthusiasm and new and exciting theories on the game that made me commit to continue my own professional career and develop my own coaching programme to pass on what I have learned to the younger generation.
Excellence in professional cricket is sustained only by ensuring the constant flow of young talent into the sport and I am fully commited to providing kids with the opportunity to learn in a fun environment and with a high level of technical awareness so they have the choice as to how far they wish to go."

Former Pioneers 'Living the Dream' in NY-Penn League

AUBURN — When anyone asks me why I became a sports writer, I usually answer with some variation of, "Well, I loved sports, and I knew I wasn't going to play first base for the Yankees, and I could write a little, so ..."
I started writing about sports at a relatively young age, and knew it's what I wanted to do, so I guess you could say that I'm "living my dream" of being a sports journalist. But am I really "living the dream"? Not hardly.
On the other hand, Newfield's Andrew Wall (Elmira 2010) and Lansing's David Valesente (Elmira 2007) are very much living out their childhood fantasies.
Wall, a left-handed pitcher, and catcher/utility infielder Valesente have realized the fantasy of every kid who ever pulled on a Little League uniform, who ever played for a league or sectional title in high school, or even just played in the sandlot on a Saturday (do kids even do that anymore?): They're playing professional baseball.

After safely dropping Vickie at the airport around noon, Lynn and Jamie stopped by the Denver Art Museum on the way home. We mainly saw traveling exhibits. Most of the permanent collection is in the North Building which is undergoing a renovation program for the next few years. We did see some of the old masters scattered throughout these more modern exhibits, but only a fraction. Armed with some ice cream money Vickie gave us, on the way home from the art museum we hit Jing Restaurant again. This time we sat on the bar side; as great as ever. All the photos are here.

Installation view: Ben Schumacher, The Older Repeatable Image/Coins, 2011.
Reading Room: Sarah Chacich, Angie Keefer, Matt Keegan, and Rita Sobral Campos
Part Two: Danna Vajda, Rona Yefman, October 8 - November 6
Part Three: Alejandro Cesarco, Ursula Mayer, November 12 - December 4
SculptureCenter is pleased to announce a unique exhibition series Short Stories, guest curated by Isla Leaver-Yap. Short Stories navigates the fabricated spaces of representation. It questions the role of art historian and critic as the best readers of an artwork, favoring instead the internal logic and fiction of the artist's practice. The series will feature rotating solo exhibitions by six New York-based artists, an onsite reading room, as well as readings and performances. Exhibiting artists include: Alejandro Cesarco, Iman Issa, Ursula Mayer, Ben Schumacher, Danna Vajda and Rona Yefman. The reading room, configured in collaboration with Angie Keefer, also features work by Sarah Chacich, Matt Keegan, and Rita Sobral Campos. Short Stories will be on view September 10 - December 4, 2011. An opening reception in conjunction with SculptureCenter's Artist in Residence Commission, Sanford Biggers: Cosmic Voodoo Circus, will take place Saturday, September 10th, 5-7pm and is open to the public. Please note the above schedule, there will be an opening reception for each of the exhibitions.
During each month of Short Stories, SculptureCenter's lower level galleries will be turned over to two artists who will each present an autonomous exhibition project. The rear ground floor gallery, meanwhile, will be transformed into a reading room, a locus and constant throughout the duration of project. It will feature art works, books selected by the artists in relation to their exhibition presentations, commissioned texts, audio works and other ephemera. This space will act as a site of production and dissemination, where the accrual of material will also serve as the documentation for Short Stories. Finally, in the closing week of Short Stories, the main gallery will be used as an event space by participating artists to feature performances, screenings, and talks.
Through the artist independently fashioned narratives, Short Stories presents work engaged in the architecture of how to read and write the object, the image, and the practice. Short Stories takes the notion of 'reading' as a framework through which an artist might begin to construct personal positions and self-determined subjects.
Iman Issa (Cairo, Egypt, 1979) works with photography, video, sound, objects, and texts, creating reconstructed images of personal yet inaccessible places, and exploring collective memory. Her practice asks whether place is independent of history and questions how the frame of the image informs our understanding of context.
Ben Schumacher (Kitchener, Canada, 1985) creates images and sculptural installations that explore diverse ways to conceptualize and present art, both in-situ and online. He is interested in the collapse between object and image, and the artist frequently engages with the dispersion and circulation of images of his work on the Internet as an uneasy surrogate or postscript to his gallery-based work. Schumacher customizes the image documentation of all his sculptural output, thus creating a visual fiction of the original object.

Review by Brian Eggert September 19, 2008
Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Wilson, Kerry Washington, Jay Hernandez
Samuel L. Jackson can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. That's something I've learned from his movies. And even when he's acting friendly, you still feel like he could destroy you at any moment. There's a frightening intensity that burns beneath his eyes. In Lakeview Terrace, he's a suburban nightmare made flesh—his character's bouts of unrestrained anger and racism are followed by irrationally aggressive behavior, dogmatic parenting, and reactionary violence. And it doesn't help that he's a cop.
Widower and single-father Abel Turner (Jackson) doesn't care for his new neighbors Chris and Lisa Mattson (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington respectively), first-time homeowners enjoying that their property has a sizeable yard, lush garden, and swimming pool. They're nice people, but Abel can't get by that Chris is white and Lisa is black. In one scene he tells Chris, who's listening to rap music, "You can listen to that noise all you want, but when you wake up in the morning, you'll still be white." Dropping none-too-subtle hints, such as shining security lights through their windows and flat-out telling them to leave, Abel makes his feelings clear. And for a while, there's a macho cat-and-mouse game where Abel and Chris push back and forth over neighborly privileges, vying for their right to stay or just be left alone.
Director Neil LaBute organizes a film intent on making the viewer question the two leads, Abel and Chris. Each seems to have issues with interracial couples. Abel because they remind him of how he lost his wife; Chris because he's tired of feeling threatened, of being "on the front lines" whenever a black man realizes he's married to Lisa, such as with Abel. LaBute's discussions of race are seemingly always interrupted by the escalating hostilities, fueled by each man's narrow-minded assumptions about the other. But this dynamic fails when the script makes it clear Abel is little more than a despotic, unhinged, curiously motivated psychopath intent on terrorizing his neighbors.
LaBute's commentary works best as a concept after the fact, when we realize his film wouldn't have the same meaning nor earn the same reaction had the races of its characters been switched. When we start envisioning Abel as a racist white cop and Chris as a black victim, we find a story in the vein of Rodney King's beating (indeed, Los Angeles' actual Lake View Terrace is where King was assaulted by officers in 1991), only with a less sympathetic villain. LaBute challenges exactly how his audience is racist, as he assuredly believes we all are, even by the smallest degree. Consider how he forces us to doubt the characters. Are those doubts based on race? That we're even thinking about these issues forces me to admit they are. But nevermind engaging observations about the audience's unconscious prejudices, there's a thriller to sell! After all, who needs questions of morality when there're action sequences and gunfire to behold? The film's third act tosses out its thought-provoking situation for a sloppy and unnatural wrap-up, transforming a clever drama into an all-too-common thriller.
Except, LaBute isn't a director of thrillers. He's a writer-director of the blackest comedies, scathing tales of decency gone awry, and people's natural evil emerging in the everyday. His 1997 debut In the Company of Men featured Aaron Eckhart playing a cruel game to get back at the women who've hurt him; he chooses a vulnerable deaf woman as his target. 2003's The Shape of Things contains a radical student (Rachel Weisz) dating a loser (Paul Rudd) only as a social experiment as to the lengths people change themselves for their partners. These often cruel notes on the depths of humanity are where LaBute is best. He raises similar concerns with Lakeview Terrace, for a while anyway, abandoning them altogether for a product frustratingly similar to the straight-lined good-guy vs. bad-cop setup of Unlawful Entry.
Until the last fifteen minutes of the film when LaBute ceases to challenge us, but rather aggravates circumstances to the predictable nature of Hollywood potboilers, there's much to admire. Given the finale, however, I think LaBute missed an opportunity to solidify the heavy commentary with an equally poignant message. After the gunsmoke clears, we wonder what anyone learned from the experience, if anything. Considering the time spent building these characters, each of them worth investing the time to get to know, their outcomes disappoint by being merely entertaining, instead of provocative like the rest of the film.

Pelton Wheel is the common example of Impulse Turbine.
This turbine is developed by L.A.Pelton.
Pelton Wheel Turbine is used for high water head and low discharge.
Turbines are the modern machines used to generate electricity from a renewable energy source in power plant.
Hence in Hydro-Electric Power Plant Impulse Turbine and Reaction Turbine are used based on the requirement.
It is the circular guide mechanism, which guides the water to flow at designed direction. This also regulates the flow rate.
A conical needle or spear operates inside the nozzle in an axial direction.
This spear controls the quantity of water flowing through the nozzle.
The area of the jet is reduced by pushing the spear forward inside the nozzle.
Hence this results in a reduction of water quantity flowing through the jet.
Similarly, if the spear is pushed back, the greater quantity of water is flowing through the jet.
Spear is controlled by automatic governing mechanism or by hand depending upon the need.
Some additional nozzles, known as Bypass Nozzles are provided.
This way we avoid the bursting of pipe in case of sudden closing of water supply.
Bypass nozzle doesn't allow water to strike the buckets.
In some Pelton Wheel Engineering defectors are provided in a nozzle, which is used to deflect the water jet.
Hence preventing it from striking the buckets.
The runner of a Pelton Wheel consists of a circular disc fixed to a horizontal shaft.
On the periphery of the runner, a number of buckets in hemispherical or bowl shape will be fixed uniformly.
The surface of buckets is made very smooth to avoid friction losses.
The material of bucket for low water head is Cast Iron.
For a high head, they are made from bronze, Stainless Steel or another alloy.
Special Alloys are used to manufacture buckets when water is chemically impure.
The buckets are generally bolted on runner disc.
So, when few buckets are worn and need a replacement that can be done.
The casing is, generally, made of cast or fabricated parts, to safeguard the runner and bucket assembly against accident.
And also to prevent the splashing of water and lead the water to the tailrace.
The casing of Pelton Wheel does not perform any hydraulic function.
To reduce the speed of the runner, breaking jet is work as a break.
These are very small nozzles in order to bring runner to rest in short time period.
Braking jet works on the back side of buckets.
This jet brought the turbine to rest for necessary action to do by engineering dept.


Younger than four, a medical condition called toddler acne may appear but it is rare, depending on drgreene.com. Also, infantile acne (which occurs right after birth) is transient and often will disappear over time. Keeping the vicinity dry and clean is vital. Clindamycin suppresses the formation of bacterial proteins, leading to fewer acne-causing bacteria. Anyone with a record of ulcerative colitis or gastroenteritis should avoid using clindamycin orally. Be careful: hydroquinone at greater than 2 percent concentration can bleach the facial skin too much, leaving white spots where your dark spots were, based on the AAD. Possible Prescriptions Bionic Beauty writes that these two dyes were specifically tested and found to generally be high among the list of acne-causing pigments. However, other red dyes can be dangerous. Avoid DC red dyes if you are vulnerable to breakouts. Acne breakouts are brought on by the infection that sets in after a pimple ruptures that has been formed by dirt, grease and oil on your skin. Lemongrass oil may be included with your water whenever you bath to eliminate excess oil from your skin.
There's no acne medication out there that will make pimples go away in a single day-or perhaps a week. The AAD stresses the necessity of sticking with your acne treatment plan, as it can take four to 12 weeks to view results. High-glycemic-index foods contain carbohydrates and also have a higher possible ways to improve your blood sugar levels than other foods, in line with MayoClinic.com. The American Dietetic Association recommends that adults consume not less than 2 cups of fruits daily; blueberries will help you to meet this minimum daily recommended amount. Set the crown from your head on the surface so your cupped palms touch the rear of your mind. Hold this position for several breaths, then lift your knees over floor and slowly walk your feet toward your mind which means that your entire torso is perpendicular to your floor. E Vitamin is primarily present in different oils and nuts. Five from the richest sources of e vitamin are wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, almonds, sunflower oil and safflower oil visit site www.horsemagique.eu. You will discover a number of ways to combat acne, and the other method is to enjoy specific foods that will aid to lower or prevent the severity of bad acne.
Depending on the database supplied by Drugs.com, black currant oil contains more than a dozen phenolic acids, with coumaric acid leading the rest. Other compounds include anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, phytochemicals offering anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. Scents can irritate acne-prone and sensitive skin, so choose lotions, foundations and makeup that happen to be labeled fragrance-free, because they have small quantities of scent. He also advises keeping away from hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors and dyes, and chemical sweeteners. Lather at a broad-spectrum, oil-free sunscreen every single day and wear a diverse-brimmed hat when outdoors. Topical treatments including benzoyl peroxide and retinoids are frequently effective acne skin care treatments, but dermatologists also frequently prescribe oral medication. Sulfamethoxazole, when mixed with trimethoprim, is a kind of oral antibiotic prescribed to combat acne. These minerals can talk with chemicals in soap to build build-up or a curd that clings to your skin — the identical film you notice on glasses or cutlery.
Apply a lemon and aloe toner in your acne sores to lessen inflammation and increase skin cell turnover. Fill a spray bottle with 8 oz. of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and add 1 tbsp. of aloe vera gel into it. Shake the bottle well to mix the substances. Spray your skin liberally, and give it time to air dry. As soon as your pores are blocked, the oil behind the blockage gets to be a breeding ground for a type of bacteria generally known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. In Bikram yoga, you perform one pose right another without stopping. Some instructors forbid breaks because Bikram is a form of meditation. Start using a sulfur mask as well as acid peel 1-2 times weekly to cleanse bacteria from your own pores and provides your sensitive skin a deep exfoliating treatment. Smooth a thin layer in the product on your clean face, avoiding your eye area, and give it time to dry before you start to wash it well. Researchers believe saw palmetto directly alters testosterone levels inside your body by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue permits to take Steller sea lions for research, including during surveys using unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The effects of various research methods on Steller sea lions were evaluated in a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement on the Steller Sea Lion and Northern Fur Seal Research Programs (PEIS; NMFS 2007). That PEIS included analysis of the effects of aerial surveys using manned aircraft and did not consider the effects of UAS because they were not a proposed survey method at the time the PEIS was prepared. This EA supplements the analysis in that PEIS to evaluate the effects of takes by surveys using UAS. It also evaluates new information on the status of the species as it relates to the effects of permit issuance.

Leafs, Habs reveal new looks as season opens
By Rod Perry
[audio:http://torontoobserver.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/rod_leafs_podcast.mp3|titles=rod_leafs_podcast]
Phaneuf is the 18th captain in franchise history
The letter C will draw plenty of attention on Thursday night in Toronto.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens renew their rivalry at the Air Canada Centre, both teams will be entrusting leadership duties to new faces.
When Dion Phaneuf steps onto the ice in the blue and white jersey for the Leafs' first regular season game of 2010, he will officially begin his career as the 18th captain in franchise history.
Brian Gionta will suit up for the bleu blanc et rouge and become the 28th player to wear the letter of leadership for the storied franchise when his skates hit the ice surface.
The 31-year-old began to solidify his position with a good post-season during the Habs' run to the Eastern Conference finals last year.
"The way he led our group, to me, it became obvious that he was the captain," Canadiens' head coach Jacques Martin told Yahoo.
Commanding the Canadiens' roster is exactly what the Rochester native will have to do on Thursday night as they will be without the services of several key players.
Mike Cammalleri, who led the team with 13 post-season goals last year, will be serving a one-game suspension resulting from a pre-season slashing of Nino Niederraiter.
In his place? Lars Eller.
It will be a chance for the centerpiece of the deal that sent goalie Jaroslav Halak to the St. Louis Blues to make his mark and flank the top line beside Tomas Plekanec.
Halak's former teammate, Carey Price, is also a question mark as he has come down with the flu and that may leave Alex Auld to handle the netminding duties.
Defensive stalwart Andrei Markov will also be out of the line-up as he recovers from knee surgery. Veteran Roman Hamrlik's knee is also giving him trouble and he won't suit up either.
Leafs looking for new results
With Phaneuf at the helm, the Toronto blue-line will anchor the alternate captaincy as well. Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin will team up to wear the A, re-iterating Brian Burke's defence-first philosophy.
For the first time in several years, Tomas Kaberle's sweater won't have anything more than the Leafs' logo on the front.
Strong leadership may very well be a core component for Toronto to be successful as well, with plenty of new faces ready to make their regular season debuts with the Buds.
Kris Versteeg, Colby Armstrong, Clarke MacArthur and Tim Brent will be looked upon to contribute offensively, and re-vamp what was a futile power play last year.
The Leafs were laughable with the man advantage, converting on just 13.97 per cent of their opportunities.
Toronto's crease will be tended by veteran Jean-Sebastien Giguere, and he'll have to be solid if the home team hopes to come up on the positive side of the win column.
Either way, both squads will have a new look come puck drop and their off-season tinkering will be put to the test.
