Third Democratic Primary Debate
Musa Jabbour
This past Thursday, the third democratic presidential debate was held in Houston. There were ten democratic candidates up on the stage with only one minute and 45 seconds to answer the questions made by the moderators. Though the time given wasn't enough to answer the questions, it's fair to say that many candidates made some bold statements.
As democrats, it was obvious that they agreed overall on the topics, but like in the past debates, the question was how they were going to achieve it. From health care to gun control, the candidates were going after each other. While many were going for Biden or Sanders for being too old to run for President, Kamala Harris was attacked for where she stood with criminal justice reform. Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, and Andrew Yang made some strong arguments, but they weren't as strong as people expected them to be. As for the rest, they weren't able to voice their opinion the way they wanted to.
All the candidates agreed that health care should be for all. Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, and Beto O'Rourke agreed that American people should be able to choose between a public or private insurance. Joe Biden's plan, he described it as a "Mediace-like government insurance policy to be available to all working-age Americans alongside private insurance policies." However, Sanders, author of the "Medicare for All" bill argued that it's the government's job to provide healthcare for everyone in the U.S. Warren; Yang and Booker also support the "Medicare for All" legislation. Amy Klobuchar has a different opinion, she wants to expand coverage through a public option available through Medicare or Medicaid.
With gun control, all candidates agreed with a universal background check. However, Beto O'Rourke had a stronger opinion. "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47",he said when one of the moderators asked him about gun control, however, time was running short and he wasn't able to explain how he is going to accomplish this. This made the viewers mad, arguing that there's not enough time for candidates to open up about the issues they support and how they are going to get it done. Though all candidates agreed that military weapons shouldn't be sold to the public, O'Rourke was the only to make such a bold statement that led him to a standing ovation from the crowd.
Joe Biden said the U.S system is "broken" but can be fixed with a secure border "without tossing aside our values… and our humanity." Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker supported pathways to citizenship for people in the U.S, and are opposed to the separation of families. Kamala Harris supports "Medicare for All" that would cover immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Amy Klobuchar supported the DREAM Act, and proposed more money for border security. Beto O'Rourke proposed to end family separations and to end "Muslim Bans." Bernie Sanders wanted new visa rules that will make permanent residency easier for qualified immigrants. Andrew Yang wanted to provide permanent residency for people living illegally in the U.S. that would put them on an 18-year path to citizenship. Overall, all candidates agreed that separating families is inhumane and money is needed for border security.
Outcomes of the Debate
Though many issues were touched overall during the debate, people are concerned that other issues were not paid much importance, such as climate change. Many critics have said that the past three debates have all been the same: a group of people attacking each other and repeating the same thing. While many issues were not touched during this debate, President Donald Trump's was mentioned plenty of times. "President Trump you spent the last two-and-a-half years full-time trying to sow hate and division among us and that is why we've got nothing done. You have used hate, intimidation, fear, and over 12,00 lies as a way to distract from your failed policies and you broken promises. The only reason you've not been indicted is because there was a memo, and the Department of Justice that says a sitting President cannot be charged with a crime," said Kamala Harris minutes into the debate. The concern of people is that candidates are only focused into defeating President Donald Trump; they are forgetting the issue they are trying to get across. Now we will just have to wait and see if future debates will change or if it will all be the same again.

Loved the debut... Looking forward to the sophomore effort!
Nice, can't wait
The debut was great, but I still think they can do better.

Agree....Especially on the production/sonics. Hopefully they can beef things up so the drums don't sound like tin cans in spots. I'm rarely concerned with production and it generally isn't something I notice....But I noticed it on this release as overall it just sounds very "thin".
Still dug the first release and listened to it plenty though and would expect to like the next one.

Favorite Band:Motley Crue + Poison
Its humourous that a few years ago, Bruno and Paul did their side project, The Defiants and the next year Ted does this side project.
Now the new Defiants album is coming this year, so these guys have a new album coming next year.
Why cant we just get a new D2 album if these guys are still up for recording stuff? ha ha
1 hour ago, Captain Howdy said:
Agree, but I want ALL 3!!!
That raises an interesting question. If there was a new D2 album, who would you prefer on vocals? I really don't know, although I'm ever so slightly leaning towards Paul. Some sort of dual vocal role for both would be ideal, but probably too complicated to organize.

It would be Ted for me. Paul is great of course, I just prefer Ted.

It really is a hard one. I guess in the "pure" sense of D2, you'd have to go with Ted. Either one would be great. Perhaps some sort of Allen/Lande concept album type project?

Yup. But there's enough talent in TMF that the next album could turn that around.
Awesome news. Agree with most everything in this thread.
Slight tweak to production quality and the new album would be amazing.
And new D2 album would and could only ever be Ted for me. Laine is great, but Ted always has been and always will be the voice of D2. No brainer for me.

I feel the same way....
I do think Paul is the better vocalist but do feel like Ted is the voice of Danger Danger.
Frankly, I kinda like it the way it is now with the Defiants and TMF.....that way we get two great bands and double the good music
AlphaMale 61
Interests:women and music
Favorite Band:Harem Scarem
Favorite CD:Dokken Back For The Attack
I prefer the Paul-fronted Danger Danger over Ted. But I still do love the Ted version as well.
At the end of the day we get what is basically an album with the D2 musicians and Paul Laine on vocals and another album that has a D2 feel with Ted Poley on vocals so it's win/win.
I prefer TMF. Nothing against Laine... I liked that solo album from back in the day quite a bit.
But I absolutely LOVED me some D2 back in the day. Wore the debut "cassette" completely out and had to buy a replacement on CD in the early 90's. One of the greatest melodic rock debut recordings of all time. Had it been released in 1987 instead of 1989, more people than just those of us on this site (and those who remember NN from MTV) would still be fans. BRILLIANT.

Tokyo Motor Fist, the band featuring Danger Danger vocalist Ted Poley and TRIXTER guitarist Steve Brown, have announced that they have signed with Frontiers Music Srl for a follow-up album to their 2017 self-titled debut. The release is expected sometime in 2020.
Guitarist and producer Steve Brown says, "Rejoice FISTonians worldwide! My lion's of the melodic rock world, TOKYO MOTOR FIST, have re-signed with the legendary Frontiers and are about to begin recording our second album! After the overwhelming success of our debut, Ted, Chuck, Greg, and I are more than ready and roaring to unleash a new TMF album."
"I am so excited to start production on the second TMF album! I was super happy with the success of the first album and I can't wait to start recording the follow up! Time to show the world that TMF is a real band, not just a "one off" project! See us LIVE on the road in 2020," adds vocalist Ted Poley.
"Since hearing the news just a few days ago that Tokyo Motor Fist will be doing a second album for our friends at Frontier Records, I have been pumped beyond words! Well...one word does come to mind...JOY!!!! TMF is one of the coolest bands and most fun projects I've ever been involved with. Since it's inception, TMF has fulfilled a lifetime goal of mine which was to be in a great band playing great music where everyone not only gets along, but truly respects and cares for each other, a-a-a-and is awesome at their craft! For me the sky is the limit with what TMF will achieve in the future. With the vision and multi-talents of Steve Brown again at the helm, the powerhouse vocals of Ted Poley, the thunderous bass of Greg Smith caressing my drumming and the support of Frontiers, we are poised to rock the world with the follow-up to our debut album. It's gonna be wicked good!!" enthuses drummer Chuck Burgi
Bassist Greg Smith adds, "Words can't express how excited I am to do another album with my brothers in TMF! As much fun as it was doing the debut album, the fact that we actually got to play these songs in front of audiences proved to me what I knew in my heart: this was not just a one off deal and the material would resonate with audiences at our live performances. I'm very much looking forward to the recording process and even more excited to play the new tunes in front of fans after it is released! Feel The Fist!"
The band's self-titled debut is available now to buy or stream. See the music video for "Picking Up The Pieces" from the band's debut here:https://youtu.be/Pwz4TDMprFo The video will transport you back to the glory days of watching MTV during the '80s, patiently waiting for your favorite hard rock videos to come on!
You don't need to be a die-hard '80s metal fan to know that the fruits of an artistic alliance between Danger Danger singer Ted Poley and guitarist/producer Steve Brown of TRIXTER is going to make melodic rock fans rejoice! Indeed, Tokyo Motor Fist is exactly what you would expect: catchy and uplifting hard rock, the way it should be. You want big - we mean, BIG - hooks? You got 'em. What about major guitar riffs? Of course there's plenty of those. Killer rhythm section? Well, with Greg Smith (Ted Nugent , Rainbow , Alice Cooper ) and Chuck Burgi (Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult , Joe Lynn Turner ) you simply can't go wrong!

I'm here to do Well for Ghana – Gifty Adrah
By Justice Dzido	 Last updated Apr 8, 2019
An Aspiring Member of Parliament for the Anlo Constituency in the Volta Region for the 2020 General Election, Gifty Adrah has declared her intention in contesting the seat of government.
According to her, her decision to run for the position in the name of Liberal Party is to help strategies, help put Ghana first on the world map and as well assemble the best team of people to work with her shape the Constituency.
While admitting the task is an arduous one, she believes it is possible as there are many Ghanaians who are tired with the status quo of how governance has been done over the years between the two entrenched political parties, the NPP and the NDC.
"I am here to put Ghana first because Ghana deserves better! Because you deserve better! Because we deserve better," – she said in a facebook post.
"Our generation is a bridge – the only remaining bridge between the truncated dreams of our forebears and the eager hopes of posterity unborn. We have no choice but to disrupt every faulty status quo to make Ghana and the Anlo area work for all of us. It is a grave burden that will demand more from all of us collectively. God has indeed blessed our homeland Ghana. It is we, who must now make her Great and Strong," – the renowned filmmaker disclosed.
The Actress and an Entrepreneur describes herself as "a passionate Ghanaian with high integrity, a balanced Christian and respecter of all faiths and creeds."
Gifty further said, she hopes to position Ghana where it belongs in the community and thus called on the youth to rally behind her to create a fitting inheritance for future generation.
"In a nutshell it is not about getting people who have been in politics for long and shouted the most. That is not us. That is not me. That is not how I want to do this. We want to say there is an art to doing politics and let us do that art.
"But when it comes to the business of running the state, it needs professionals who can get the job done, because we are lagging behind. I am not saying any other state or jurisdiction is perfect but at least they get things done. It is one thing having a leader who understands how certain things should be done and how it should be directed than one who just hopes that the team gets it right. It makes a huge difference."
Gifty Adrah intent saying she "is not tainted by Ghana's political system and as such, she brings refreshing creativity, inclusiveness and objectivity to how politics is done."

In the past it was possible to acquire memory from linux systems by directly imaging (with dd) psudo-device files such as /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. In later kernels, this access was restricted and/or removed. To provide investigators and system administrator's unrestricted access, loadable kernel modules were developed and made available in projects such as fmem and LiME (Linux Memory Extractor).
In this blog post I will introduce you to a scenario where LiME is used to acquire memory from a CentOS 6.5 x64 system that is physically hosted in another continent.
Since LiME is distributed as source without any binaries you need to compile it yourself. You will find documentation on the internet suggesting that you jump right in and compile LiME on your target system. I recommend you first see if a pre-compiled LKM exists, or alternatively compile and test in a virtual machine first.
In either case, you first need to determine the kernel running on your target system, as the LKM you use must have been compiled on the the exact operating system, kernel version and architecture. Here we determine our target is running the kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64.
One great reputable resource for pre-compiled LiME LKM's is the Linux Forensics Tools Repository at Cert.org. They provide a RPM repository of forensic tools for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and Fedora.
To check to see your specific kernel is compiled for your operating system, visit Cert and find the "repoview" for your target operating system.
Browse to "applications/forensics tools" and view the documentation on "lime-kernel-objects".
Oh no! The kind folks at Cert are not completely up to date, and my target system is running a newer kernel. That means I have to do the heavy lifting myself.
I installed CentOS 6.5 x64 in a virtual machine and updated until I had the latest kernel matching 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64.
Since this was a kernel upgrade, I gave my virtual machine a reboot.
We now have the matching kernel, but we still need the associated kernel headers and source as well as the tools needed for compiling.
Now we are finally ready to download and compile our LiME LKM!
We can now test out our newly built LiME LKM on our virtual machine by loading the kernel module and dumping memory to a local file.
We are opting to create our memory image on the local file system, so I provide the argument path=/root/mem.img. LiME supports raw, padded and "lime" formats. Since volatility supports the lime format, I have provided the argument format=lime.
[root@vmtest ~]# insmod lime-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64.ko "path=/root/mem.img format=lime"
I have validated the memory images matches the amount of RAM I allocated to the virtual machine (1GB) and that it contains valid content.
Now we return to our scenario where we are trying to capture memory from a CentOS server on another continent. I opted to upload LiME LKM to a server I control and then download it via HTTP.
The great thing about LiME is that it is not limited to just output to a local disk or physical file. In our test run we supplied an output path with the argument path=/root/mem.img. We will instead create a TCP service using the argument path=tcp:4444.
[root@targetserver ~]# insmod lime-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64.ko "path=tcp:4444 format=lime"
If I were situated within our clients network or port 4444 was open over the internet, I could simply use netcat to connect and transfer the memory image to my investigative laptop.
Since in this scenario our server is on the internet, and a restrictive firewall is inline we are forced to get creative.
Remember how I downloaded the LiME LKM to the target server via HTTP (port 80)? That means the server can make outbound TCP connections via that port.
I can setup a netcat listener on my investigative laptop here in our lab, and opened it up to the internet. I did this by configuring my firewall to pass traffic on this port to my local LAN address, and you can achieve the same results with most routers designed for home/small office with port forwarding.
Step 1: setup netcat server at our lab listening on port 80.
Step 2: Run LiME LKM and configure it to wait for TCP connections on port 4444.
Step 3: In another shell initiate the netcat chain to transfer the memory image to my investigative laptop at our lab.
Voila! I now have a memory image on my investigative laptop and can start my analysis.
and information about the kernel's data structures (vtypes).
Requirements: Volatility source and the necessary tools to compile vtypes running on the same operating system, kernel version and architecture.
First let's create a folder for collection of required files.
Now let's collect the debug symbols. On a CentOS system it is located in /boot/ directory. We will need to find the System.map* file that matches the active kernel version that was running when we collected the system memory (2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64).
Copy the appropriate System.map file to the collection folder.
One of the requirements to compile the vtypes is libdwarf. While this may be easily installed on some operating systems using apt-get or yum, CentOS 6.5 requires that we borrow and compile the source from the Fedora Project. The remaining prerequisites for compiling should have been installed when we compiled LiME earlier in the section Getting LiME.
Now we can obtain a copy of the Volatility source code and compile the vtypes.
After successfully compiling the vtypes, we will copy the resulting module.dwarf back out to the collection folder.
Now that we have our collected the two requirements to create a system profile, let's package them into a ZIP file, as per the requirements of Volatility.
On my investigative laptop I could drop this ZIP file in the default volatility profile directory, but I would rather avoid losing it in the future due to upgrades/updates. I instead will create a folder to manage my custom profiles and reference it when running volatility.
Now I can confirm Volatility recognizes providing the new plugin directory.
Now I can start running the linux_ prefixed plugins that come shipped with Volatility to conduct memory analysis.

As a successful B2B PR Agency that has been in the business for 20 years, we've heard our fair share of PR jargon. The PR industry has always been guilty of creating PR jargon but recent years have seen something of a proliferation of buzzwords (including the word buzzword).
Those working in PR intrinsically understand PR jargon and should know when to use it and when to keep it to themselves. But, if you are caught amongst a group of PR professionals and are struggling to keep up with all the PR jargon, here are some key terms that you should know.
B2B: Public relations activity dedicated to providing information resources between businesses. Includes professional services, training, human resources and office supplies.
B2C: As above, but between businesses and the consumer.
Backlink: A link to a company's website hosted by a different website domain. Backlinks are usually used in articles or blog posts and help with SEO.
Boilerplate: The section at the end of a press release before the media contact information that gives a brief description of the company.
Byline article: A byline article is a piece of content produced by a company spokesperson and placed on a publication's website, with full credit.
Case study: A piece of content that show how a customer is using a client's product or service. This can be published on the company website or placed with a publication to showcase how a company's service or product is actually used, without speaking to the company themselves.
Crisis Management: Having a plan in place that can be actioned if and when something goes wrong for an organisation.
Earned Media: Media coverage that is generated due to direct relationship building, story pitching, and media relations, as opposed to paid advertising or a company mention as a result of another story.
End user: Just another word for customer.
Exclusive: Sending a story to only ONE media outlet information, so that they have the opportunity to publish a story first.
In-House: PR staff within a company or organisation, rather than an agency.
Media Relations: Dealing with and building up good working relationships with journalists.
Press Release: A written statement describing an event, announcement or item which is considered to be of sufficient interest to readers/viewers/listeners for a journalist or editor to publish reference to it.
These are just a handful of the many examples of PR jargon that PR professionals and agencies use daily. Knowing these should help you fit in with many people in the communications industry.
If you're looking for a B2B PR agency that speaks your language, then give our CEO Heather a shout.


GDV Systems + Solutions GmbH is your partner, if you like to know it precisely.
We are providing high-accuracy 3D measurements for industry with mobile optical systems.
"Modular" production techniques in aeroplane construction, together with european or even worldwide distribution of supply and assembly plants necessitate a large number of quality control survey measurements.
We regularly employ all our established measurement systems in a variety of projects associated with the development, production and final assembly of aeroplanes and in separate construction projects.
In the aerospace industry, where accuracy, flexibility and economic viability must be the highest order, our mobile measuring techniques really come into their own.
With high-end photogrammetry systems, deformation measurements are possible even under simulated space conditions (vacuum, extreme temperatures).
We are, for example, involved in various Ariane projects with our photogrammetric INCA cameras. Satellite and parabola antennas or other components are also given quality checks.
Wether in nuclear research, energy technology or in the construction of special machinery, in the case of technically challenging projects there is often a need for precision measurements in sub-millimetre range.
When traditional methods of alignment or adjustment in geometric verification are not economically viable our mobile 3D measuring procedures present clear advantages.
Quick availability and high mobility are the requirements for performing 3D measurements for production and assembling of wind turbines.
Our wind and weather resistant 3D measuring systems provide immediate high accuracy results even under the rough conditions on site.
Because of the rapid development of digital photogrammetry and the huge success in this area of CAD-based real-time measurement techniques with hand-held probes, the car industry is today one of our greatest customers.
As well as providing services to the tool and plant construction sections, robotic steering assembly and chassis sections, we are frequently involved with system integration and with training schemes.
Because of the international competition in the shipbuilding industry and the requirement of shorter lay times in port, shipyards are forced to speed up their maintenance processes.
With our mobile measuring systems we are quick to get to every harbour worldwide and provide versatile data about geometry and shape, long before the ship will be docking. Sections can be prefabricated, and time-effectively changed or added.

Copper Mining in South Africa
Copper mining in South Africa might not be as lucrative as uranium and platinum mines, but it's still an important part of the mining industry.
Scribante mining has assisted with numerous copper mining projects, ranging from infrastructure and machinery to material handling. Let's take a deeper look at copper mining in South Africa to understand more.
How is Copper Mined?
Traditionally, copper is mined using open-pit mines, like many other precious resources. It's the most common (but not the only) method of copper mining in Southern Africa. In some areas, such as the Okiep Copper Mine, shaft mining was the preferred method. Okiep Copper Mine once had some of the richest copper veins in the world and produced more than 2 million metric tons in its 150-year lifespan.
There isn't much difference between copper mining and the process for other precious metals. It uses hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy to separate and process the ore into usable product, much like platinum and gold.
Copper Mining in Southern Africa
South Africa is by no means the only (or the largest) producer of copper on the African continent. In fact, in Southern Africa, Zambia is the largest producer of copper, mining nearly 30 times the amount South Africa produced in 2020. The Democratic Republic of Congo is by far the biggest producer in Africa, though; it mined nearly 1.4 million metric tons in 2020 alone.
In South Africa, some of the largest copper mining projects include:
1. Mogalakwena Mine
An Anglo American PLC mine located in Limpopo. It's an open-pit mine that produces roughly 10,000 tons a year and is expected to run until 2040.
2. Nkomati Mine
Located in Mpumalanga, Nkomati Mine is operated by African Rainbow Minerals. Last year, it produced just over 5,000 tons of copper.
3. Palabora Mine
Perhaps the biggest copper mine in South Africa, Palabora is another open-pit mine that produces nearly 21,000 tons of copper a year. It's owned by HBIS Group and will operate until 2039.
4. Black Mountain Mine
Owned by Vedanta Resources, Black Mountain Mine stands apart because it's an underground mine. It's nearing the end of its life, as it's due to shut down in 2023 and only produced 1,700 tons of copper in 2020.
5. Bafokeng-Rasimone Platinum Mine
Despite being a platinum mine, Bafokeng-Rasimone also produces around 1,000 tons of copper a year. Owned by Royal Bafokeng Platinum, it'll remain in operation until 2050.
Notable mention should also go to Okiep Copper Mine, which recently underwent a feasibility study that suggests it might be worth reopening. Orion Minerals ran the study and now plans to test-mine various areas to see what deposits still exist.
Copper is an incredibly important resource, particularly with our increasing reliance on electronic devices. So, while it might not have the same value to the economy of South Africa as platinum or uranium, it's always a worthwhile mining project.
If you're thinking about getting involved in copper mining in South Africa and need guidance or equipment, Scribante Mining is here for you. Get in touch to see how we can help.

Many patients ask if acupuncture needles hurt when inserted into the body. This inquiry is relevant and common to almost everybody interested in getting an acupuncture treatment. We felt it was important to take some time to provide information about acupuncture needles and how they feel when used by a licensed acupuncturist.
What are acupuncture needles made out of?
Modern acupuncture needles are made out of stainless steel and come in various lengths and gauges of width. Acupuncture needles have a stainless steel shaft, with a handle made out of copper, steel or plastic.
How thick are acupuncture needles?
Needle thickness is a something many patients are curious about; there is a belief that the thicker the needle the more potential for pain. The thickness of the needle used for treatment depends on a variety of conditions ranging from the acupuncturist's preference to the specific ailment being treated.
Acupuncture needles are solid with a fine point, unlike hypodermic needles that are hollow and primarily used for intramuscular injections or for drawing blood. Hypodermic needles have a sharp cutting-edge point, something that acupuncture needles do not have. A helpful comparison is that most acupuncture needles are so thin that you can fit about 10 of them inside the shaft of a hypodermic needle.
Who is allowed to use acupuncture needles?
While it is true that acupuncture needles can be purchased by people other than acupuncturists, it is strongly advised that you only allow a licensed acupuncturist to needle you. Please note that chiropractors, naturopaths and physical therapists are not licensed acupuncturists. They may perform acupuncture (or "dry needling") but in reality acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that is performed by licensed acupuncturists who have extensive and thorough training.
A licensed acupuncturist has attended acupuncture school, has a master's degree, a professional license and is required to have thousands of hours of training. In a previous blog post titled "The Importance Of Receiving Acupuncture From A Licensed Acupuncturist" we provide information about why you should only get acupuncture from a licensed acupuncturist. If you are considering getting acupuncture we strongly urge you to read through this post.
When patients receive an acupuncture treatment for the first time they often report having a variety of sensations. Some people describe feeling a dull ache, a tingling or pulsating sensation or experience nothing at all. There are other people who state that they feel a small pinch when the needle is inserted but the sensation dissipates quickly.
Very rarely will a patient report feeling any pain after a needle is inserted; if so, it will quickly be removed. Pain isn't something that should be felt or elicited, in fact a common reason acupuncture needles are used in the body is to alleviate pain. What is more common is that patients will state that they will feel some discomfort after being needled but after they settle in and relax the sensation soon passes.
If you've been thinking about getting acupuncture but have been worried about whether or not it hurts, we hope that this article helped to alleviate some of those fears.

2007–present:
The Niagara IceDogs are a major junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League based in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The franchise was originally known as the Mississauga IceDogs and founded in 1996. The team was relocated to St. Catharines and played its inaugural season in the Niagara region during the 2007–08 OHL season after spending 9 seasons in Mississauga. The team is owned by Bill and Denise Burke.
Niagara IceDogs in action at home versus Barrie Colts.
On July 12, 2006, Eugene Melnyk, who owned the Toronto St. Michael's Majors, bought the Mississauga IceDogs. After the 2006–07 season, Melnyk sold the IceDogs, and moved the Majors to the Hershey Centre in Mississauga. The team approached the City of St. Catharines about moving the team into Jack Gatecliff Arena. St. Catharines City Council voted on a leasing arrangement on April 23, 2007, which passed. The OHL Board of Governors approved the deal on June 5, 2007.
Jack Gatecliff Arena Era Edit
The Niagara IceDogs spent their first seven seasons in St. Catharines in the Jack Gatecliff arena. In six of the seven years at the Jack Gatecliff arena, the IceDogs led the OHL as the best attended team based on capacity percentage. During this time, the IceDogs qualified for the playoffs in every year, making it to the Eastern Conference finals twice. The IceDogs most successful year was in 2011-12 when they won both the Emms Trophy and Bobby Orr Trophy as Central Division and Eastern Conference Champions. They would ultimately fall in the finals, however, to the London Knights in five games. While playing at the Jack Gatecliff arena, Niagara's line-ups featured a number of eventual high NHL draft picks and NHL alumni. First round draft picks included Alex Pietrangelo, Mark Visentin, Ryan Strome, Dougie Hamilton, and Brendan Perlini. Other notable players to lace-up for the IceDogs at the Jack Gatecliff are Stefan Legein, Luca Caputi, Andrew Agozzino, Brett Ritchie, Jamie Oleksiak, Freddie Hamilton, and Andrew Shaw, who was the first Niagara IceDogs alumni to win the Stanley Cup.
Meridian Centre Era Edit
The IceDogs entered a new era when they relocated to the brand new Meridian Centre in St. Catharines. On Thursday October 16th, 2014, the IceDogs won their first game at the Meridian Centre by a score of 7-4 against the visiting Belleville Bulls. The first goal at the new Meridian Centre was scored by Mikkel Aagaard from Denmark.
Championships Edit

Central Division Champions
Bobby Orr Trophy
Eastern Conference Champions
Coaches Edit
Mario Cicchillo was promoted from assistant coach in 2006–07 for Mississauga, to become the first coach of the Niagara IceDogs after it was announced that head coach Mike Kelly resigned to accept a senior advisory position with the team. In August 2009, Cicchillo was fired and assistant coach Mike McCourt was named interim head coach. In early May 2010, the IceDogs announced that the team would not be renewing the contracts McCourt and his assistants. Former Barrie Colts coach/general manager Marty Williamson was named coach and general manager of the IceDogs in late May 2010.

Uniforms and logos Edit
The IceDogs colours are red, white, black and silver. The Home jersey is white with red, black, and white stripes on the bottom and black and red diagonal stripes on the sleeves with two crossed dog bones on each shoulder. The Away jersey is black with red, black, and white stripes on the bottom and red and white diagonal stripes on the sleeves with two crossed dog bones on each shoulder. Both jerseys are tie-ups. The Niagara logo is a Bull Terrier (modelled after former team part-owner Don Cherry's famous dog, "Blue") playing hockey in hockey gear. The team wears red and black CCM gloves and CCM helmets (black or white, depending upon their jersey colour). In 2008–09, the IceDogs launched a third jersey, which is currently being worn by the team during warmups. It is a red jersey, featuring the Bull Terrier logo on top of a large N.
Arena Edit
Meridian Centre Edit
The IceDogs moved into the Meridian Centre on October 16, 2014. Located at 1 Ice Dogs Way in St. Catharines, the Meridian Centre features a combination of 5,300 permanent and retractable seats.
Jack Gatecliff Arena Edit
The Gatorade Garden City Complex, formerly known as the Garden City Arena and the Jack Gatecliff Arena, is a publicly owned and operated facility in St. Catharines. It is located at 8 Gale Crescent and features two ice surfaces (the Rex Stimers Arena and the Jack Gatecliff Arena). The IceDogs played in the Jack Gatecliff Arena of the complex for 7 seasons. The arena's capacity is 3,145 including standing room, making it smaller than most CHL arenas. With an ice surface of 190 x 85 feet, its dimensions are also smaller than the typical CHL ice surface. It is commonly referred to by fans as 'the Jack'.
The original arena was built in 1932 and became the oldest arena currently used in the CHL following the Windsor Spitfires move to the WFCU Centre in 2008–09. It was previously used by the St. Catharines Teepees, St. Catharines Black Hawks, St. Catharines Fincups and the St. Catharines Saints. Renovated in 1996, it was named after local sportswriter Jack Gatecliff.
Niagara Falls Memorial Arena Edit
On March 1, 2009, the Niagara IceDogs hosted a home game at Niagara Falls Memorial Arena in nearby Niagara Falls, Ontario. The arena, slated to close in 2010, was the former home to both the Niagara Falls Flyers and the Niagara Falls Thunder. The game was billed as the last OHL game in the arena. The announced crowd of 3,167 was the largest home crowd in franchise history.

GGG vs. Steve Rolls (Say Who?) is On; Lemieux vs. Ryder is Off
Yesterday (April 16) in a story submerged by a bigger story that broke later in the day — namely Jarrell Miller's failed drug test — it was announced that Team Gennady Golovkin had selected Steve Rolls as GGG's next opponent. GGG vs. Rolls is a go for June 8 at Madison Square Garden.
There was a collective groan when the pairing was announced. It was widely understood that GGG would go soft in advance of a likely third meeting with Canelo Alvarez in September, but choosing Rolls (pictured on the left against Demond Nicholson) was seen as tantamount to fighting an exhibition. The bookies will likely install GGG a 100/1 favorite, which in the old days was shorthand for a newspaper line, meaning a line crafted for conversation purposes only. Even today, with off-shore sports books jockeying for market share, no sensible bookie would take a straight wager on this fight save perhaps a peanut from a steady client as a courtesy to keep him in the fold.
Both Golovkin and Rolls had birthdays this month. GGG turned 37; Rolls 35.
Rolls, a Canadian, was reportedly 83-14 as an amateur. He's undefeated as a pro (19-0, 10 KOs), but a casual fan wouldn't recognize the name of any of his opponents with the possible exception of the aforementioned Nicholson. Rolls won an 8-round split decision over Nicholson (currently 23-3-1) in Verona, NY, in June of 2017. The verdict was controversial. The "ShoBox" broadcasting trio of Barry Tompkins, Steve Farhood, and Raul Marquez all had it 77-74 for the other guy, giving Nicholson the last six rounds.
Rolls is promoted by Lou DiBella who was in Full Damage Control mode when he addressed members of the press. "Steve Rolls is not some bum," DiBella was quoted as saying. "Steve Rolls can fight. He doesn't deserve this disrespect he's getting on social media."
That elicited this snarky retort (which I paraphrase) from a writer on an internet forum: "If Lou DiBella was in the business of selling bologna sandwiches, he would tell you it was ribeye."
Golovkin vs. Rolls will reportedly be contested at the catchweight of 164 pounds. We would guess that when GGG-Canelo III finally transpires, it too will be contested at 164. Canelo weighed 167 ¼ for his last match against Rocky Fielding. Plus, the third meeting will be a mega-fight regardless of whether any title is at stake.
GGG vs. Rolls can be seen as the downside of the great flurry of professional boxing that has accompanied the live-streaming transmutation. Whenever an industry experiences rapid growth – when there is a sudden need for more manpower – there's usually a lag before there are enough qualified applicants to fill all the slots.
That may be overstating it. The main reason that fight fans don't get the fights they want to see is because of a lack of cooperation between the major promotional groups. Moreover, as for marquee fighters choosing soft opponents, that's been going on forever. Joe Louis defended his title eight times in the 15 months leading up to his first encounter with Billy Conn. In the aggregate, his opponents were so hopelessly outclassed that sportswriters adopted the term "Bum of the Month."
Lemieux-Ryder Goes Poof
It hasn't been a good week for Eddie Hearn. Hearn promotes John Ryder who was slated to fight David Lemieux on May 4. The match between Lemieux (40-4, 34 KOs) and Ryder (27-4, 15 KOs) was penciled in as the chief undercard bout on the Canelo-Jacobs PPV card at the T-Mobile Arena. But Lemieux injured his hand in sparring and has been forced to pull out.
There was little sympathy for David Lemieux when he withdrew from his Dec. 15 bout with Taureano Johnson at the 11th hour because of severe dehydration. He should have managed his weight better. However, this is a bad break for him and it's hard not to sympathize. A fan-friendly fighter, Lemieux would have been making his first start as a super middleweight and, barring a mishap, would have energized an already strong 168-pound division.
Golden Boy Promotions, which is orchestrating the May 4 event, has had some strong undercards over the years but not on their biggest shows. The undercard for Canelo-GGG II was very weak.
As it now stands, the new co-feature on May 4 pits Vergil Ortiz against Mauricio Herrera. That simply won't cut it, a situation that isn't lost on the Golden Boy matchmakers who are reportedly working overtime to find a new co-feature. Let's hope they find a good one.

For this reason, when choosing the right fit and color for the mosaic tiles, the installation will be fairly easy. Okay, before beginning the installation, here wants to share some tips to make your project process more smoothly and successfully.
1. After confirming your tiles style, then you should consider how many tile you will need. Many professional websites usually offer a tile calculator, where the buyers can enter their measurements of the walls and the mosaic tile size, and then the system will calculate the correct quantity of the tile they need. In case any unexpected happens like pieces break, we suggest to buy a little extra, that would be much helpful.
2. For preparation, you need to make sure the level and all cracks have been filled. In an ideal world, surfaces without wallpaper or old tiles are a better place to install tiles. There is one way to remove the existing tiles: use a hammer and chisel. Use a pencil and a spirit level for marking the area, also the spirit level will help you to line up straight the tiles.
3. If permitted, we suggest you to get the best adhesive and adhesive spreader. To ensure the adhesive will stay in a moisture environment longer, you should dust the walls down and apply a sealer for help. Apply the adhesive evenly to a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
4. When installing the mosaic tiles, start from the center of surface, where with a tape measure, for any cuts or adjustments will be made for the edges. One thing important, make sure that you are installing the pattern of the tiles in a correct way. Use a wooden block and a mallet to tap the tiles lightly, just to make sure they're level and firmly in place. Then use a wall scraper to remove the needless adhesive in the wall edges.
5. Compared to bigger tiles, small mosaic tiles are easier to install when meeting some obstacles like light switches or electric plugs. The reason is because small mosaic tiles can be cut into several individual tiles with craft knife when it needs to fit along the edges.
6. Before applying the grout, the adhesives needs at least 24 hours to get dry. Grouts are available in different colors; you should pay attention to the consistency between the powder and the grouts. To check if the grout is safe and clean to wipe, you can press your nail into the grout and if it could not be impressed, then use a cloth to remove the needless adhesive in the walls edges. To protect against moisture damage, occasionally spray water into the grout for two to three days.
For achieving the correct effect, mosaic tiles should be in harmony with the style and function of the other room or space of the house. In a lot of unique designs, mosaic tiles play a great role to provide much feasibility. Under normal circumstances, mosaic tiles is durable building elements, it can serve you for many years.

I Can't Sleep: Homage to a Uyghur Homeland [cards], 2018
For the past few years, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in North West China has been transforming into an Orwellian state. One to two million Uyghurs have disappeared into China's newly built de-extremification camps for the sole purpose of re-education, and "to eradicate the disease of Islam." I Can't Sleep: Homage to a Uyghur Homeland are portraits by Lisa Ross [b. 1964, Brooklyn, NY] of Uyghur women and children who sleep outdoors during hot summer months in the prefecture of Turpan. The Uyghurs are a Turkic Muslim ethnic group who are seen as a threat to the future of the Chinese nation.
Proceeds donated to The Uyghur Human Rights Project. It's mission is to promote human rights and democracy for the Uyghur people, and to raise awareness of human rights abuses that occur in East Turkestan, referred to by the Chinese authorities since 1955 as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region [XUAR].

Celebrity alumnus returns to Saint Andrews with play
Departments — 24 April 2017
By Greg Carannante
It was while a student at Saint Andrew's School in Boca Raton that actor John Posey's star was born. The 1968 George Plimpton/Alan Alda football film Paper Lion was being shot on campus, and Posey worked his way into a small role.
Eventually he picked up the ball and ran with it to a 30-year career in TV, film and theater, scoring credits from Seinfeld to How to Get Away With Murder. His one-man play, Father, Son & Holy Coach, brings him full circle with its first Florida performances this weekend – at Saint Andrew's, 7 p.m. Friday (4/28) and Saturday (4/29) and 2 p.m. Sunday (4/30).
Portraying 20 different people in the 90-minute production, Posey has toured the country with the critically acclaimed show, which he also wrote, since its debut in 1993.
Of his years at Saint Andrew's from 1968 to 1972, Posey says: "I was angling toward a career in writing, which, obviously has been a big part of my career. I discovered theater [at the University of Florida] while performing with improv groups."
The play humorously focuses on a father-and-son relationship, and one of its co-producers is Posey's real-life son, Tyler Posey, best known as Scott McCall on the MTV series Teen Wolf. He will join his father for the Boca shows.
"This is a father-son story, and the production is a father-son endeavor," Posey says.
