VX International
The best sport you've never heard of
Education Programme Sport Programme
VX is a young sport which is having a massive impact in the community and in schools. From its launch in 2006, it has gained a massive foothold in UK schools and is now being adopted by universities, colleges, leisure centres, prisons, youth organisations, the military and PCTs. It has a foothold in 26 countries and has 16 NGBs.
VX is a team game but there are also singles (V2) and doubles (V4) versions. There are now independent clubs, leagues and tournaments and also national teams and competition. The World Cups are every four years and the V2 World Cups are held annually.
VX is a mixed sport - males and females compete on an equal footing. It's an inclusive sport - players of all abilities and many disabilities can compete. It helps drive participation, especially among the less sporty, but on the other hand, for the more advanced players there is a route right through to international representation.
"It was brilliant, fun to play and such a brilliant idea for inclusive, physical sport." Rachael Mackenzie, World Thai-Boxing Champion.
"As Physical Educators, this sport is perfect for what we want to achieve" Don DiGiacomo, director of physical education, St Xavier's High School, Cincinnati, Ohio.

After the devastating events in the 11th century following the investiture controversy, the papacy regained its position of power. New special issue of "Journal of Medieval History" presents a series of essays focusing on the communication strategies of the popes in the central Middle Ages (1100 – 1300).
In the 11thcentury, a series of popes embarked on a series of reforms intended to reinvigorate the church and positioning it as an independent power, writes the editors in the introduction to a new special issue of the Journal of Medieval History (August 2018). To a large extent these projects were crowned with success. Papal and lay authorities got together mounting crusades at the same time as the church was reformed through the growth of new religious orders (Franciscans and Dominicans), new learning centres (universities), new artistic programs (Gothic art and architecture) etc. How did the Popes and the papal curia communicate about these new inventions within the church as well as to a wider audience? Across the wide distances of Medieval Europe? And through which media?
Apart from an introduction, the issue introduces us to the world of papal symbols, clothing as communication, art, architecture and the manipulation of space, ritualization and sermonising. In all of this, the key role of "Romanitas" as well as the city of Rome is explored.
The special issue is published by the group behind the research project: Papal Communication in the Central Middle Ages. This project examines a variety of papal communication channels and media, from gift-giving to letters and historical writings. The goal is to provide a synchronic and diachronic view of the multi-faceted and multi-medial communication from the papal curia to the world outside the curia in the period c.1100-1250. A key question is how the curia attempted to promote papal authority through its various forms of communication. The project also assesses how communication was received by its secular and ecclesiastical recipients, and what this may tell us about the local perception and negotiation of papal authority.
The project is funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research (on a DFF-YDUN grant) and has four core participants including two post-docs and one PhD student. It is led by Iben Fonnesberg-Schmidt, Department of Culture and Global Studies at Aalborg University. The group arranges a number of seminars and other events, including an open international conference in Spring 2018 held at Aalborg University.

schwit1 quotes ScienceAlert: In experiments involving mice, the team found that lungs produce more than 10 million platelets (tiny blood cells) per hour, equating to the majority of platelets in the animals' circulation. This goes against the decades-long assumption that bone marrow produces all of our blood components. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco also discovered a previously unknown pool of blood stem cells that makes this happen inside the lung tissue — cells that were incorrectly assumed to mainly reside in bone marrow. "This finding definitely suggests a more sophisticated view of the lungs — that they're not just for respiration, but also a key partner in formation of crucial aspects of the blood, " says one of the researchers, Mark R. Looney. The platelet-producing cells actually migrate from the bone marrow to the lungs. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell is being recognized for his efforts to stop telephone companies from charging high rates and illegal fees on telephone calls from Louisiana jails and prisons.
Specialized firms are hired by correctional facilities to run telephone systems used by inmates. Family members on the outside pay for the calls.
Campbell led a 2011-2012 PSC investigation that concluded that the rates for inmate calls averaged 30 times higher than calls on the outside.
The investigation also found that telephone companies routinely ignored commission orders and added a variety of illegal fees to customer bills. Examples included $10 to buy a $50 block of time, $2.50 to add a telephone to the account, and $5 to obtain a refund.
Campbell's findings led the PSC in 2012 to unanimously enact reforms that lowered inmate calling rates 25 percent and remove illegal fees. Though the commission later weakened the reforms, Louisiana's moves helped lead to a national crackdown on the jail telephone industry by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015.
The Louisiana chapter of CURE, Citizens United for the Rehabilitation of Errants, is recognizing Campbell with a certification of excellence for his work.
"We appreciate the hard work that Foster has put into this effort over the course of the last five years," LA CURE Director Checo Yancy said.
Campbell said he was pleased to work with CURE and its members on behalf of the families of Louisiana's 40,000 jail and prison inmates.
"The practices we uncovered in our investigation of inmate telephones were dishonest and immoral," he said. "The families of inmates have no choice in telephone service and little to no ability to fight back.

Q: Create a List with 2 rows and every view have different height in Android I need to create a list with 2 columns, every column contain number of views (Image and Text), the problem is that I need to use different height for the images,
gridview create list with the same height for every row, I try to create something like that by myself (create container layout with 2 columns and add views using for loop and inflater) the result, app memory gets to his limit something I get out of memory exception, If its not enogth I have to
use android:adjustViewBounds="true" for fitting the image to the layout (getting unexpected padding) so also the CPU working harder then expected,
I guess adapter should help, we can use adapter without listview or gridview? there is a tool for creating those kind of list?

A: If I understand it correctly StaggeredGridLayoutManager should do what you need. Make some RecyclerView with your Adapter and use it there. Hope it helps.

A: <LinearLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:weightSum="2"
  />

  <RecyclerView
    android:id="leftRecyclerView"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    />

  <RecyclerView
    android:id="rightRecyclerView"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    />

</LinearLayout>

Then you can implement these two recyclerviews, they will not depend from each other and they will take both half of the screen.
For every lists you need to display, always use RecyclerViews to not kill your CPU and memory.

How Much do Austin/Central TX Weddings Cost?
We wrote this article, originally, two and a half years ago, in July of 2016, and many people sent us feedback about it being very helpful. We write our blog and tips to help everyone planning a wedding. No, we're not trying to simply sell our business or services, like many other companies. We want to help as many brides and grooms as possible by providing great information! :) So let's get to the breakdown of the costs for a wedding in Austin and central Texas.
So there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news, since I like to end on a good note! :) It's not bad news, but basically it's still pretty expensive to get married in the Austin/central Texas area. However, the GREAT news is, the average cost for a wedding has gone down by about $7000, since 2016!! In 2016, the average cost for a wedding in Austin was over $37,000. As you can see from the infographic above, it's now just under $30,000 ($29,780). So this is great news for you!
If you're currently planning to have a wedding in the Austin or central Texas area, then you have already realized that the expenses can add up, fast! Chances are, you're using the internet to do your research, and you should certainly start by doing just that. We included the above infographic to show you the average cost of a wedding in Austin, Texas. The cost of your wedding can really vary, depending on your needs, wedding venue location, catering, and most importantly, your total guest count. The more guests you have, the more you'll spend. Now let's break down the costs even further.
The largest cost of your wedding is going to be the venue. After deciding on a date, the next thing you should consider is your location. As you can see in the infographic, the average wedding venue cost in the downtown Austin, Texas area is about $3600. Keep in mind, this information is what couples reported and not what wedding vendors reported. From our experience and knowledge, the downtown wedding venues are priced higher than this, especially during peak wedding season, which is early spring and fall in Austin. These rates may be for the off-peak season.
Another consideration about your wedding venue is the scenery. If you want your wedding overlooking Lake Travis or Ladybird Lake, in Austin, it's going to be more expensive (but you already knew that). :) The above picture shows you the cost difference, compared to a wedding venue in downtown Austin, TX.
If you didn't already know, Dripping Springs, Texas, is a very popular destination wedding spot! It's often called the "wedding capital of Texas." As you can see, above, having a wedding in Dripping Springs is as expensive as having a wedding on the lake, in Austin. Depending on the venue you choose, having your wedding here can be more expensive than having it in Austin. The appeal of a Texas hill country wedding is very understandable and though Dripping Springs is much smaller than Austin, it's not too far away (about a 30 minute drive) from Austin, and more and more businesses are popping up to cater to the wedding market, there!
Since your wedding venue is a major factor in the overall cost of your wedding, we included quite a bit of info about it. Now, let's move onto our area of expertise, which is wedding entertainment.
Now let's discuss our area of expertise. As you may have already noticed, the price for wedding entertainment can really vary, depending upon your wedding location. In general, bands are more expensive than DJs. However, some DJs/DJ companies can charge just as much as bands. Our advice is simple: do your research. Check out reputable sites, such as The Knot, Wedding Wire, Google and even Facebook, for reviews and to see what actual customers are saying about the DJ or band, and their quality of work. The good thing about the wedding sites is that you can easily compare companies, side-by-side; however, that can also be a problem. This is because if you compare these companies, many of them sound exactly the same. So how do you know who is best for your event? Here's our advice.
1. Determine a Budget - How much are you comfortable spending for entertainment? Will you spend it all on a DJ, or are you wanting a DJ and photo booth? Choose what's best for you and your guests. Consider that not everyone likes to dance or is even able to dance.
2. What's Included - Start comparing what is actually offered with the price you're paying. This is where the true differences are. Some DJs start with a great price, but it only includes a limited amount of hours, like 3 hours. They do this, knowing you'll certainly have to purchase more time. Don't fall for it! Do they include everything you'll need? Some companies will not include a microphone, or even "MC" services. Surprisingly, you'll have to pay more for those things with some companies.
3. Ceremony Music - If you need the DJ for the ceremony, find out if they will provide ceremony services, and how much it will cost. Many companies will charge several hundreds more dollars for this, so find out what's included with the ceremony addition.
4. Custom Playlist - Find out if you're able to choose songs for your wedding. Are you limited to what they offer you, or can you choose other songs? We've seen some companies limit their clients to their library and even seen others charge $1.00 for each song that the couple specifically wants played. That can add up, so definitely ask about a playlist. Some DJ companies even only play specific genres, so be sure to find out.
5. Lighting - Find out if the DJ company will include dance floor lighting. Surprisingly, many companies don't include dance floor lighting. They'll charge you more to add it. Many venues can be very dark at night, so lighting is usually a must! Uplighting is a great addition for any venue, as it provides lighting and can usually be set to match your theme and decor.
6. Other Options - Always ask about other options. Do they offer uplighting? A monogram? Photo booth? Projector? Games? You can often save money by getting all of your options from one vendor, as opposed to hiring several vendors. We recently did an event that hired an outside company for the sound system. For some reason, they were unclear that we already included this with our services, despite us telling them. That company charged thousands more, and honestly, their sound system was terrible in comparison to ours.
Overall, there are numerous things to consider when hiring a DJ or band for your wedding in Austin, Central Texas, or anywhere! This is a great starting point, but certainly do your research and ask as many questions as you need to, to be sure you're hiring the best company for your needs. Here's a link to a great website that will allow you to find out the average cost of a wedding in your area by simply typing in your zip code! Here's the link to the average cost of wedding in Austin, Texas.
Check out the average prices and compare to determine your budget. If you're having a wedding in a different city/zip code, simply change the zip code. We hope this article has been helpful. As always, feel free to email us with any questions and we'll be happy to help!

Face verification vs. face recognition: what's the difference?
Scenario 1: Face Recognition. You are walking through the central square below your house, or you are now sitting in a seat at Sports Light. Facial recognition technology, combined with CCTV, is scanning the crowd and matching faces to a database of known or suspected crimes. You do not know if or when face recognition has been applied to you. You cannot opt out. Personal interest is not directly relevant in this context. You do not know how the image is used, shared or stored.
Scenario 2, Face Verification: You are sitting at home. It's time for the holiday and I'm about to make a visa application for the holiday. You open your laptop or pick up your phone and log into the government visa service. You use your device's camera to scan your driver's license or passport to prove your identity. Then you scan your face. Facial verification technology confirms that your actual face matches the face in your ID and that you are genuine and complete this application immediately.
There is also face detection, which is the process of identifying when a face appears in a video or image without identifying that person in any way.
Face recognition and face verification are often confused and can be used interchangeably to mean the same thing. The truth is, however, that the two technologies and the purposes for which they are used are quite different and need to be considered separately. Ethical issues regarding facial recognition for surveillance, and calls for clarity and limits on its use, are issues that require serious public discussion.You can't generalize. Face verification is not the same thing as you say it is
What is face detection?
Face detection is defined as A computer technique that can recognize the presence of a human face in a digital image. To work, face detection applications use machine learning and formulas called algorithms to detect faces in larger images. The larger images may contain pictures that are not facial information of a human face, such as a roadside landscape, a part of a building, or possibly other parts among our body (shoulders, arms, legs, etc.)
Face detection is somewhat more widespread, more applied and more widely accepted by the market than face recognition. Face detection simply means that the system is able to recognize the presence or absence of a human face in an image or video. Face detection has multiple applications, only one of which is face recognition. Face detection can also be used in autofocus cameras. It can be used to count the number of people entering a particular area. Marketing purposes can also be achieved. For example, an advertisement can be displayed the moment a face is recognized.
How face detection works
Although the process is somewhat complex, face detection algorithms usually start by searching for the human eye. The eyes form the so-called valley area and are one of the easiest features to detect. Once the eyes are detected, the algorithm tries to detect the facial region, including the eyebrows, mouth, nose, nostrils and iris. Once the algorithm surmises that it has detected the facial region, it can apply additional tests to verify that it has indeed detected the face.
What is face recognition
However, one of the most important applications of face detection is face recognition. Face recognition applications describes a biometric technique that goes far beyond recognizing when a face appears. The system is always confirming whose face it is and whether it can be matched.. The process works using a computer application that captures a digital image of an individual's face (sometimes from a video frame) and compares it to an image in a stored records database. While facial recognition is not 100% accurate, it can be very accurate in determining when a person's face matches someone in the database.
Facial recognition has many applications. Facial recognition has been used to unlock cell phones and specific applications. There is also a place for face recognition as a technology in the scope of biometric surveillance.. Often facial recognition is used in banks, retail stores, stadiums and other public places such as airports to reduce and prevent violent crime.
In short, while all facial recognition systems use facial detection, not all facial detection systems have a facial recognition component.
Facial Recognition, which acquires a user's facial image through a video capture device, uses a core algorithm to calculate and analyze the position, shape and angle of the face, and then compares it with the existing model in its own database to determine the user's true identity. The face recognition algorithm, after detecting the face and locating the key facial feature points, the main face areas can be cropped out and fed into the back-end recognition algorithm after pre-processing. The recognition algorithm has to complete the extraction of face features and compare them with the known faces in the inventory to complete the final classification.
The principle of face recognition algorithm: the system inputs a face image or a series of face images containing an unidentified identity and a number of face images with known identities in the face database or corresponding codes, while its output is a series of similarity scores indicating the identity of the face to be recognized.
There are two main uses of face recognition technology in daily life, one is for face verification (also called face matching) to verify "are you a certain person" and the other is for face recognition to verify "who you are".
2. Difference between face recognition and face verification
Face verification can actually be called as one of the face recognition.
What face verification does is 1:1 matching, and its identity verification mode is essentially a computer's fast face matching between the current face and the portrait database, and the process of whether it matches or not, which can be simply understood as proving that you are you. What we need to do is, in the first step we need to tell the facial recognition system who we are, and then we also need to stand in front of the machine and let the machine recognize and determine if we are the me that I said in my mouth
The most common application scenario of this mode is face unlocking, where the terminal device (such as cell phones) only needs to compare the user's pre-registered photo with the photo collected on the spot to determine whether it is the same person, so that identity verification can be completed. 1:1 as a static comparison, generally in the financial and information security fields are more often used. For example, in the highway and airport security check, the person subject to inspection holds ID card and other documents and passes through the inspection channel, while the appearance of the person subject to inspection and ID card information is recognized, this process is a typical 1:1 mode of face recognition.
What face recognition does is 1:N matching, that is, after the system collects a photo of "me", it finds the image that matches the current user's face data from the massive portrait database and matches it to find out "who I am". For example, suspect tracking, community access control, meeting sign-in, and customer identification in the new retail concept.
1:N face recognition mode has both dynamic comparison and non-matching features. Dynamic recognition is done by intercepting a frame in a video or image to live face data and further verifying and comparing based on the dynamically acquired face data; while non-cooperative refers to the process of recognition that exhibits non-compulsory and efficient characteristics, where the recognition object can complete the work of face recognition without going to a specific location.
Why do we need face verification?
Simply put, your online security requires facial verification.
Traditionally, we verify our identity by walking into a bank or government office and handing our documents to someone, who then confirms that the document matches the actual face they saw in front of them. But how do we move that process to the Internet? If I'm sitting on my couch using a mobile device, how do I prove to you that I am who I say I am?
Your face is the most secure way to verify your identity online, and the only way that businesses and government services can be sure that you and only you have access to your data: Verifying your face online is the most secure way to verify your identity, but it is also the only way that businesses and government services can snsure You are the only one who has access to your data
Knowledge-based security (such as passwords) can be shared or stolen and can be difficult to remember when you need a myriad of security for different accounts.
Device-based security (such as a phone or token) must be carried with you and can be stolen or lost.
Other biometric identifiers, such as iris or fingerprints, are not included in a driver's license or passport (unlike a photo).
Only through face verification can you prove online that you are the true holder of an identification document.
Online crime is on the rise, both in terms of the number of attacks and the sophistication of the tactics used by international criminal groups. We all need a way to protect ourselves from identity and financial theft.
Examples of where online face verification is beneficial.
In many cases, we as individuals need to confirm to businesses, banks and government services that we exist and that the entity claiming the identity is the rightful owner of that identity. Here are a few examples of how online face verification makes the process easier, faster and more secure.
Digital onboarding.
Banking: opening a bank account
Other financial services: applying for a credit card or insurance policy
Government services: applying for a visa, driver's license or passport
Healthcare: requesting access to your health records
Education: Apply for college or take an exam
Work Permits: Apply to become an Uber driver
Social Networking: Set up an account
Face Authentication.
Banking: add new payees or transfer large amounts of money
Other financial services: file an insurance claim
Government services: check visa status, update IDs
Healthcare: making appointments
Education: taking exams
Work permits: confirming I'm doing the job
Social networking: commenting or other activities
Face verification provides us with security, safety, simplicity and privacy in the digital world. It is completely different from face recognition and the two should be treated differently.

Sonakshi Sinha gang bang Part 1
March 31st, 2017 admin Groupsex
It was a Saturday night, and Shatrughan's wife was out of town visiting an old high school friend. He had hoped that his daughter, Sonakshi, would be home, but she had already made plans to go to a party that night. Shatrughan decided to take advantage of the situation by inviting a few of his friends over for a poker night. Ravi was the first to arrive, followed by Abdul and Kishen. They each grabbed a beer and sat down in the family room to watch the hockey game before starting to play cards. By the time the first poker hand was actually dealt, it was almost eleven o'clock and everyone but Shatrughan was drunk. He had laid off the booze intentionally, knowing that Sonakshi might call him for a ride home. Staying sober had also given him an edge in the poker game, and he was up about eighty bucks after a couple of hours. It was just after one o'clock in the morning when the phone rang.
"Hello?" Shatrughan said into the phone.
"Hi Daddy!" Sonakshi said on the other end. "Can you come pick me up?"
"Of course," he said. "Where are you?"
"I'm at Mohan's house." Mohan was Sonakshi's best friend, the girl who had joined Sonakshi and Shatrughan in a threesome about two weeks earlier.
"Okay," he replied. "I'll be there in about ten minutes." He hung up the phone and told the guys that he would be back shortly, then got in the car and drove to pick up Sonakshi. The moment he pulled up in front of Mohan's house he saw his stepdaughter running towards the car. She was wearing a short white skirt and a red tube top, her perky tits bouncing underneath as she approached the car.
"Hi Daddy!" she said, opening the door and climbing into the car. She leaned over and gave him a long, passionate kiss on the lips.
"Hi, did you have fun?"
"I had tons of fun!" she exclaimed. "You'll never guess what I did!"
"What did you do?" he asked, pulling away.
"I made out with Mohan in front of everyone!"
"Really? What made you do a dirty thing like that?"
"Well, a bunch of the guys at the party were saying that they thought it was really hot to watch two girls going at it. One of them, Jay, dared Mohan and I to kiss. We both said no, but then they offered us money!" At this point Sonakshi reached over and rubbed the bulge in Shatrughan's pants. "They offered us twenty bucks each if we would kiss a little bit, so we did. We even started grabbing each other's boobs. They offered us more money if they could see our tits, so we both flashed them and started to play with each other's boobs some more."
"Did anything else happen?" Shatrughan asked.
"No, Mohan got shy so we stopped." Sonakshi undid Shatrughan's pants and pulled out his cock. "Do you want me to suck it for you, Daddy?"
"Of course I do," he said to her. He pulled her head down into his lap and she opened her mouth to accept his dick. "You're such a good little slut!" he said as he continued to drive.
"Hey Daddy?" she said a few minutes later, stroking his cock.
"Yes sweetheart," he replied.
"I was talking to Mohan before the party and she told me that her period is late." During the hot threesome they had had together, Shatrughan had cum in Mohan's pussy. She mentioned then that she wasn't on the pill.
"How late?" he asked.
"Only a couple of days," she replied. "Don't you think it's hot that she might be pregnant with your baby?"
"Why, are you jealous?" he said.
"Maybe a little. Wouldn't it be so sexy if you made me pregnant?"
"I think you'd look incredibly gorgeous with a pregnant belly."
Sonakshi smiled and continued to suck his cock as they got closer to home.
"I really need to get fucked Daddy," she said.
"Just keep sucking," he said. "My friends are over, so you'll have to wait until later for me to make you cum." A couple of minutes later they pulled into the garage at their house. Sonakshi sat up and Shatrughan tucked his cock back into his pants and zipped up. They went inside to join the other guys, all of whom had seemed to abandon the poker game. Sonakshi joined them at the table, engaging in small talk with them for several minutes before she excused herself to use the bathroom.
"Wow!" Kishen said when she was out of earshot. "I haven't seen Sonakshi in years! How old is she?"
"Almost nineteen," Shatrughan replied.
"She's a very beautiful girl," Abdul said.
"I'd fuck her in a heartbeat!" Ravi said.
"For christ's sake, Ravi," Abdul said. "She's his fucking daughter!"
"Stepdaughter, actually," Ravi said. "Besides, you guys both thought it, I'm just the one who said it!" The guys all laughed in response. "She's like a young version of Wendy, and Wendy's fucking hot!" Ravi had always made it clear that he was a great admirer of Wendy, Shatrughan's wife and Sonakshi's mom. Just then Sonakshi came back into the room, forcing the conversation to a halt.
"Were you guys talking about me?" she said. Just then Shatrughan got a very tempting idea.
"The guys were just saying how beautiful they think you've become," he said.
"Thank you guys!" she said, blushing.
"I bet they'd love to see more of you," he added.
"Daddy!" she said, shocked.
"It's okay, sweetheart. You're a gorgeous woman and you should be proud of your body. Take off your top for us."
The other guys stared in shocked silence as Sonakshi looked at her stepdad and then pulled her tube top up over her breasts. She pulled it off all the way and tossed it to the floor.
"That's good, Sonakshi," he said as her nipples hardened. "Your tits are perfect."
"Show us more girl," Abdul said.
"You heard him," Shatrughan said. "Take off your skirt." She said nothing as she unzipped her skirt and let it fall to the floor. She stepped out of it, leaving her in nothing but a pair of white panties. "I bet these guys would love to see your pretty little pussy. Why don't you take those panties off, too?" Again she said nothing as she obeyed his command.
"Wow!" Ravi said. "What a gorgeous little pussy!"
"She's sure got me riled up!" Kishen said. "My cock is as hard as a rock!"
"I feel so naughty!" Sonakshi said.
"Is my pretty little girl getting horny?" Shatrughan said.
"Yes Daddy," she said. "I'm so wet and horny right now!"
"Let's head into the living room," he replied. He led her by the hand into the living room, where the three other guys took a seat on the two couches. Jared pulled the coffee table out of the way and guided Sonakshi to the spot it had been moved from, then he sat on the couch as well.
"Get on your knees," he said. She did exactly as he asked. "Now crawl over to me and beg me for my cock." She moved towards him on her hands and knees, stopping at his feet.
"Please Daddy," she said, "can I have your big dick?"
"Keep going," he said.
"I want it so bad," she continued. "I want to suck it right here in front of your friends so they can see what kind of dirty slut I am for you. Please let me have your big cock, Daddy!"
"Take it out and start sucking," he replied. She undid his pants, pulled out his cock and took it into her mouth. Shatrughan held her hair out of the way so his friends could get a better view. As she sucked his cock, the other guys started to rub the bulges that had formed in their pants. A few minutes later he pulled her away from his cock. "Now it's Ravi's turn," he said. She crawled over to Ravi and undid his pants, pulling his cock out as well. It was only about six inches long, quite a bit smaller than Shatrughan's eight-incher, but she sucked it into her mouth with just as much enthusiasm. As Shatrughan started to take off his clothes, Abdul and Kishen followed suit. All three of them stroked their cocks as they watched Sonakshi suck her second dick of the night. A few minutes later she abandoned Ravi's cock and crawled over to Kishen, taking his seven-inch cock into her mouth.
"How am I doing, Daddy?" she asked between sucks.
"Good so far," Shatrughan replied. Ravi had now taken off his clothes as well and was rubbing himself, enjoying the view. When Sonakshi sat up to take a breath, Abdul grabbed her and pulled her to him. She responded quickly, taking his short five-incher into her mouth.
"Suck that dick, you sexy girl!" Abdul said. As she worked on Abdul's cock, Shatrughan got on his knees behind her. She let out a gasp as she felt his cock slowly inch into her pussy. He built up speed slowly, fucking her tight little pussy as she took almost all of Abdul's cock down her throat.
"Your pussy is so fucking tight girl!" Shatrughan said to her.
"That's because your dick is so big, Daddy!" she cried.
"You're such a dirty slut!" he added.
"It feels incredible!" she said. "My pussy is so wet Daddy!" She reached back and rubber her clit, taking Abdul's cock back in her mouth.
"She looks happier than a pig in shit!" Ravi said.
"This feels so fucking good!" Shatrughan said.
"Holy shit Daddy!" she screamed. "I'm fucking cumming! Fuck my pussy baby!" She finished cumming and then Shatrughan pulled out.
"Are you ready to come ride my cock?" Ravi said.
"I was born ready," she said with a smile. She walked over to where Ravi was sitting and turned around, then lowered her pussy down onto his cock.
"Fuck!" Ravi said. "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever fucked!" Shatrughan stood in front of her and fed her his cock as she started to ride Ravi's.
"That feels fucking good, baby!" Shatrughan said to her.
"I feel so fucking slutty right now!" she cried. "I'm so wet!"
"I knew you'd love two cocks at once," Shatrughan said. "You're so fucking sexy!" She rode Ravi's cock for a while and then got off of him when it sounded like he was ready to cum. Kishen grabbed onto her and pulled her down to the floor. He put her face down and then mounted her from behind, pushing his cock into her. Ravi then sat on the floor in front of her and guided her mouth to his cock.
"I want my turn with that fucking pussy soon!" Abdula said.
"Take that cock, Sonakshi!" Kishen said. "Take it up that hot little pussy!"
"You love hard cocks, don't you girl?" Shatrughan said. "You love the way they feel inside you!"
"Fuck Daddy!" she cried, taking her mouth off Ravi's cock for a moment. "My pussy is soaked!" She reached under and rubbed her clit.
"Is my little girl going to cum?" Shatrughan said. "You look so good with a dick in each end of you!"
"Fuck my pussy Kishen!" she screamed. "It feels so fucking good!"
"Hurry up with that fucking pussy!" Abdul said. Kishen smacked her ass a couple of times while Shatrughan grabbed a handful of her hair and forced her head up and down on Ravi's cock. She let herself get fucked from both ends for a few minutes, then pulled herself away. She got on her hands and knees in front of Abdul, taking Kishen's cock into her mouth as Abdul shoved his into her from behind.
"Suck that dick girl!" Kishen said. "You look so fucking pretty with your mouth full!"
"Fill her with cock boys!" Ravi said.
"I fucking love cock!" she cried as she reached back and rubbed her clit. "It feels amazing!"
"Take that cock girl!" Ravi said. A couple of minutes later both guys in her were close to cumming, so they pulled out.
"I think we should cover Sonakshi with some cum!" Shatrughan said. The other guys agreed and so did Sonakshi. She rolled onto her back and the guys knelt around her. Kishen was kneeling by her left breast, Abdul was between her legs, Ravi was by her right breast and Shatrughan was kneeling above her face. All four of them were stroking their cocks, pointing them right at her.
"You're about to get four loads of cum girl!" Ravi said. "You're so fucking pretty!" Kishen came first, shooting his load onto her chest. Ravi came next, hitting her chest from the other side.
"Do you like how that feels?" Shatrughan said. "Your tits are fucking covered!" Abdul started shooting cum onto her next, covMohang her stomach and pussy. Seconds later Shatrughan shot the final load onto her face.
"Wow!" Ravi said. "Look at all that cum!"
"That felt fucking amazing!" she gasped. The guys all stood up and started to gather their clothes as Sonakshi stayed on the floor.
"Shatrughan, that was fucking awesome," Abdul said. "Thanks for letting us fuck your daughter!"
The guys all said goodbye to Sonakshi, then Shatrughan showed them to the door. When he returned to the room, he saw Sonakshi lying in the exact same position he had left her.
"Time for bed, slut," he said to her. "Go get yourself cleaned up and I'll meet you in my bed."
"Yes Daddy," she said, standing up off the floor and heading upstairs to the shower.

The charm, featuring rubies and diamonds, will emphasize the need for women to get educated about the risk of heart disease.
Caren Pasquale Seckler, group director for low-calorie colas at Coca-Cola North America says that "Heidi Klum''s star power helped the ''heart truth'' message reach millions of women last year, and with Heidi''s help, we hope to continue to keep the spotlight on this crucial issue."
Klum has been active in the fashion industry since 1992. Her credits include Victoria''s Secret, H&M, and Liz Claiborne. She has appeared on the covers of Vogue, ELLE, and Marie Claire.

Rove Repeats 'Belittling' Comments About Richmond, But Praised Cheney's Small Town Background In 2000
Satyam Khanna Aug 16, 2008, 12:30 am
As ThinkProgress noted, Karl Rove attacked Richmond, VA this week when he criticized Gov. Tim Kaine's (D) possible candidacy for vice president, saying Kaine was only the mayor of the "105th largest city in America…not a big town." In response, Richmond residents called Rove's comments "patronizing" and "belittling." But that didn't stop Rove. Yesterday on Fox News, he repeated the charge:
ROVE: And look, Kaine is undistinguished. With all due respect, he's an able but undistinguished governor of the state of — or the commonwealth of Virginia and a former mayor of Richmond, which is the 105th largest city in America, not very big. And you can't get Virginians to tell you really anything that he's done, other than and raise taxes for transportation.
Watch it:
However, after President Bush selected Dick Cheney — whose prior elected experience included being a congressman from Wyoming — Rove said Cheney was a "great candidate for us." On Fox News on Sept. 23, 2000, Rove said Cheney received "the best candidate training" from "retail campaigning" in Wyoming:
ROVE: Well, look, the best candidate training is to, is — you know, this is a guy who won elections in, in a very contested primary in Wyoming, where you have to do a lot of retail campaigning, and got reelected a number of times. He's — it's — he's exercising those political muscles again.


Karina Bland is taking over Clay Thompson's place in the Arizona Republic and will write six times a week, in print and online.
I sat in the big office, surrounded by three editors, smiling even though I was worried about why they had summoned me. I thought about how Clay Thompson had called this the Dark Tower and these editors his "masters."
It turned out the masters had a new assignment for me: move my column to Clay's old space in the newspaper, prime real estate for a columnist at the top of the weather page on A2. Instead of once a week, I'd write six times.
Immediately, I worried. Clay is a hard act to follow. He was funny, a good writer, for 18 years, and you people loved him.
What really worried me was the space I'll be writing in. It holds 300 words, give or take. Sheesh, it takes me 300 words to say hello.
Clay was my editor in my early years at the paper; he chided me to "Write tight, and make it sing." Even when Clay was no longer my editor, he sent emails that said, "That was a good story, kid," but pointed out it could have been better if it hadn't jumped from page-to-page three times.
I never took to it. The license plate on my car says, LNGSTRY.
When Clay was sick, I would sometimes take dictation for him. He'd think for a minute and then hold forth. "How many words is that?" he'd ask. 287. He'd throw in a few you people-s and a "Try not to worry about it."
That's another thing — I worry. A lot.
Whether I'm raising my kid right.
That I'll run out of money and have to move in with my mother.
So what am I going to write about? Probably not mockingbirds or baseball, but you never know.
Clay's masters said I could write anything. Just do it in 300 words.
I can practically hear Clay cracking up. I hope you people stick around.

U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz '94 (D-Hawaii) will deliver the principal address at Pomona College's 124th Commencement Exercises on Sunday, May 14, 2017 at Marston Quadrangle. Approximately 390 students from the Class of 2017 will receive their undergraduate degrees.
Other speakers who will receive an honorary degree during the ceremony include researcher and educator Sarah C. R. Elgin '67, P'05 human rights lawyer and activist Gay McDougall and philanthropists Frederick "Rick" P'95 and Susan Sontag '64, P'95.
U.S. Senator Brian Schatz has dedicated his career to public service in the non-profit and government sectors. The first Pomona College graduate to become a U.S. Senator, Schatz was appointed in 2012 after the death of long-serving U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye. In 2014, he was elected to complete the rest of Inouye's term, and last year Schatz was re-elected to a full six-year term in the Senate with 70 percent of the vote. He serves on four Senate Committees: Appropriations; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Commerce, Science and Transportation; and Indian Affairs. In the Senate, Schatz is also chief deputy whip, a leadership position that gives him a greater role in shaping policy and communications for Senate Democrats.
A vocal environmental advocate, Schatz has been a leader on clean energy and has introduced legislation to reduce the effects of climate change while also moving the nation into a clean energy economy, creating jobs and lessening America's dependence on foreign oil.
Schatz has also served as lieutenant governor of Hawaii and for eight years he was the CEO of Helping Hands, one of the state's largest non-profit community social services organizations.
He earned his B.A. in philosophy at Pomona and came back to campus in 2016 to lead a master class and presented a talk about climate change before a full Argue Auditorium at Millikan Laboratory.
Educator and alumna Sarah C. R. Elgin is a recognized interdisciplinary researcher investigating gene regulation while simultaneously expanding the number of peers and students contributing to publishable science research. Elgin currently serves as the Viktor Hamburger Professor of Arts and Sciences, with appointments in biology, genetics and education at the Washington University in St. Louis.
Working with fruit flies, Elgin's laboratory has made many seminal contributions to the study of epigenetics, the mechanisms by which the DNA in the cell nucleus is packaged to promote either gene expression or gene silencing.
A leader in science education, Elgin founded Washington University's Science Outreach program (now Institute for School Partnership), which brings cutting edge science curriculum to thousands of K-12 public school students in the St. Louis area. With funding from Howard Hughes Medical Institute, she founded and directs the Genomics Education Partnership, involving undergraduate students at more than 100 colleges and universities in collaborative genomics research.
Elgin received her B.A. in chemistry from Pomona and earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology. She and her husband Robert '66 have two children, Benjamin (Harvey Mudd '98) and Thomas '05.
Civil rights activist Gay McDougall is an international lawyer who has been instrumental in crafting human rights legislation for emerging democracies.
Engaged in human rights advocacy, litigation and training activities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, McDougall is well-known for her work in South Africa.
Her contributions in ending apartheid were recognized in 2015 by the Government of South Africa with the Order of the Companions of O.R. Tambo, a national medal of honor for non-citizens.
A lifelong advocate for social justice, McDougall founded the Commission of Independence for Namibia, a bipartisan group of more than 30 Americans who monitored Namibia's transition to independence. She has held several positions at the United Nations, serving on the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which oversees implementation of the International Convention against Racial Discrimination worldwide.
A recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship for her work in pursuit of global human rights, McDougall currently serves as Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School and a member of the faculty of Oxford University's International Human Rights Law Program.
McDougall earned her undergraduate degree from Bennington College, and received a J.D. from Yale Law School and a master of laws degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Rick and Susan Sontag have a long history of supporting their alma maters and The Claremont Colleges as a whole. They have spent a lifetime building successful businesses and actively supporting education and medical research. Their giving to The Claremont Colleges includes naming gifts to Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity, LEED-awarded residence halls on both the Pomona and Harvey Mudd campuses, as well as significant gifts to expand undergraduate research. Rick is also an emeritus trustee at Harvey Mudd College.
After Susan's survival from brain cancer Rick and Susan redirected their resources to helping others affected by that disease. Through The Sontag Foundation, The Brain Tumor Network and other activities led by them they are sponsoring medical advances and helping brain cancer patients find their way to more effective treatment.
Rick earned his B.S. in physics from Harvey Mudd College, an M.S. in physics from the University of Nevada at Reno and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Susan received her B.A. in government from Pomona College.

My Thoughts on: Army of the Dead (2021)
warning: minor spoilers below for Army of the Dead
I was originally going to skip this film altogether because I normally avoid zombie films (I'm scared to death of zombies and the undead in general). However, after I was able to successfully get through Spiral earlier this week, I decided to give Army of the Dead a try because after all, why not? I've been proven wrong before with scary films (the Saw franchise being a notable example), so maybe Army of the Dead would be a similar case where finally, FINALLY, I would find a zombie film I could get into.
Unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way.
Don't get me wrong, Army of the Dead does have some good moments in it (I'll get to them shortly) but as a whole….I just don't like it. I don't know if I went in with the wrong expectations or I'm just not that familiar with how Zack Snyder makes movies, but Army of the Dead by and large was nothing like what I expected it would be. For one, it's much too long and worse, it begins with a first act that, after a killer opening, is almost dead on arrival afterward. I feel like if you're going to do a big zombie heist film, you should get to the zombie action part sooner rather than later and the movie just took way too long to get to where it needed to go.
Thank goodness there were some fun moments along the way. The zombie tiger is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie and I love the role it plays within the story as a source of karma. I also love that I was right about the tiger being one of Siegfried and Roy's (well who else in Las Vegas would have white tigers?).
And then there's Dieter (the safecracker, played by Matthias Schweighöfer). To quote Looney Tunes, I like him, he's silly. Seriously, Dieter is my favorite non-zombie character as he's probably the closest you'll ever come to seeing how I would act in a zombie apocalypse situation. It was genuinely fun to watch his character arc develop from beginning to end. Also, his chemistry with Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) is genuinely funny. It's an odd couple pairing that totally works (if only the rest of the film had clicked so well as those two).
On the zombie side of things (outside of the tiger), I was really intrigued by the film's presentation of "Alpha" zombies. I'm pretty sure the concept of "smart zombies" has been explored before, but I like what Snyder was going for, the idea of there being a type of zombie that still continues to have some form of functional society and order, even if it's taken on a cruder form. There's even a mention of "trading" being done with the zombies, which is something you really don't encounter that often (or ever??) in zombie films and it's a plot point I wouldn't mind seeing explored further. I really did enjoy the performances of the two lead zombies. Since we can't understand zombie speak, most of their performances is channeled through their movements and body language and that was all very well done.
Oh, and on a quick note: I LOVE Tig Notaro, you'd never guess she'd been digitally inserted into the film after the fact.
But these good things don't change the fact that most of the film rubbed me the wrong way, particularly in how it ends. I had a feeling early on that things wouldn't end well for most everyone going in to Las Vegas because it's a zombie film and that's how zombie films work. But for the love of all things holy in cinema, one of the film's primary subplots was rendered absolutely moot by how the ending pans out. What was the point of trying to rescue that one character if they die in the end? I get that not all stories have a happy ending but that plot trope in particular drives me crazy. As for the ending scene itself (not THAT scene with Vanderohe, the one before that), I get it, I do. It tugs at all the right heartstrings and is downright heart wrenching. But…I might have felt it even more if the preceding hour hadn't bummed me out with disappointment.
If you enjoy Army of the Dead, I am genuinely happy for you and I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. But for me, it just felt wrong for the most part, and I felt more disappointment than satisfaction by the time the credits rolled.
Let me know what you think about Army of the Dead in the comments below and have a great day!

As a massive zombie fan and a huge fan of the Dead movies, I didn't like it. It had some decent moments, but I firmly believe that zombies should be zombies, slow, shambling, unthinking monsters. To me, anymore than that, they are not zombies anymore, but that is my two cents. Apart from all of that, great review, I enjoyed it.

I loved this film Becky! It was done so well because of the way that they change what we normally think abt zombie movies. The Dirty Dozen/Oceans 11/Rogue One aspects of the film also worked really well for me.
sorry u didnt like it so much, great review tho!

People always make up excuses for losing and it's not just teams losing to Bottineau cause its a hard place to play. I agree it probably is real hard place to play but not for me being I grew up and played there. That being said there are plenty of teams making excuses for losing to one another examples Century losing to BHS in the stadstad, H/B tying BHS or people complaining about homer refs in Minot. There always is and always will be excuses for losing but it doesn't really matter cause in the end 1 team wins and the other doesn't plain and simple.
Should be an interesting last couple weeks of the season Bottineau and Century play 2 times, BHS and Century have 1 more game, and Bottineau and Minot have one 1 more.
CEntury tops bott 6-1 tonight. People say that centurys defense arent good. Centurys Defense Marcus Abphalte and Alec Rauhauser held botts top line to 0 points.

So who is Bottineau's top line? Would you say the Millican line or the Serhienko line? I don't really think one line is better than the other. Agree with you on Century's defense. They are skilled and they hit.
I went to the game and i was talking about the Serhienko line only because they started. But yes, bott's two lines are very skilled.
oly2 wrote: I went to the game and i was talking about the Serhienko line only because they started. But yes, bott's two lines are very skilled.
Ya they are both skilled lines but when Nick Monson is playing I think the Millican line is better. Serhienko sees the ice very good and Aide has an amazing set of hands on him. Bottineau is a pretty tough team to beat when both lines are playing well.
Not saying it's time to hit the panic button, but, it should be noted that the "high powered" Bottineau offence has 2 goals in the last 2 games against what Sauce coined "good competition." Last year they rolled into the state tournament with 113G and 142A and were only able to muster 1 goal in 2 games against "good competition." They are skilled and explosive and Harry can stickhandle in a phone booth, but he can't while lying on his back. They have at least 2 more chances to prove themselves against "good competition" or it's deja vu' all over again. I bet BHS is kicking themselves for scheduling a 4 pointer in Bottineau's barn.

Bottineau could have used another game against BHS. Sure four points was nice but that was a game against a quality oponent they lost. I guess you could say the same for BHS also, however they filled it with a quality oponent.


Pest control forms an extremely important part of any landscaping project. This is because pests are bound to be attracted to this natural habitat you have created where they can get plenty of foliage, damp soil and a peaceful breeding atmosphere. Discussed below are a few ways to take control over certain pests that love to invade your beautiful backyard.
Mosquitoes love moisture and small pools and puddles where they can breed uncontrollably. If your lawn has lots of these pesky trouble makers then you can plan on eradicating them using a mosquito repellent or even better a mosquito magnet. Using repellents is not advisable as they contain heavy chemicals that can cause hard to your plants. Mosquito magnets on the other hand can be a highly effective solution for landscapes. A mosquito magnet emits a gas that smells like human breath. Mosquitoes get attracted towards the machine and die through dehydration.
By following these instructions, you can easily ensure a check in the mosquito population.
Earwigs or similar insects are quite common in landscaped gardens that have piles of lawn debris, leaves and foliage. Given below are a few tips to deal with earwigs.
Make sure to regularly clean your landscape of lawn debris and dry leaves.
Animal pests are as common as insect pests in most landscape gardens. The worst part about dealing with animal pests is the law in certain areas that can prevent killing of animals. So the best way to deal with them is to discourage their entry.
Make use of live traps around areas frequented by animal pests to capture and remove them alive in far-off areas.
If you're looking for an ethical solution to keep cats out of your garden visit The Scaredy Cat to learn more.
Organic pest control involves making use of common organic products to create powerful anti-pest concoctions. Organic methods generally involve use of insecticidal soap, Neem oil, hoticultural oil, Ground seeds of the sabadilla lily, Pyrethrins (found in powder form and dusted on leaves) etc. Most of these organic products are available at home and with a little knowledge you can easily create anti-pest treatments at home.to find various organic garden pest control methods in an easy to understand tabular format.

The 1980 Memorial Cup occurred May 4–11 at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Manitoba and at the Agridome in Regina, Saskatchewan.  It was the 62nd annual Memorial Cup competition and determined the major junior ice hockey champion of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). Participating teams were the winners of the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Western Hockey League which were the Peterborough Petes, Cornwall Royals and Regina Pats. Cornwall won their second Memorial Cup, defeating Peterborough in the final game.

Teams

Cornwall Royals
The Cornwall Royals represented the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League at the 1980 Memorial Cup. The Royals finished with the top record in the Lebel Division during the 1979-80 season, posting a record of 41-25-6, earning 88 points, and finishing second overall in points in the league. The Royals offense ranked fifth in the ten team league with 388 goals scored. Their defense ranked fourth as the club allowed 333 goals. In the QMJHL quarter-finals, the Royals held off the Shawinigan Cataractes with a thrilling four games to three series victory. The Royals faced the Chicoutimi Saguenéens in the QMJHL semi-finals, as they won the series four games to one, earning a berth into the league finals. Cornwall's opponent for the President's Cup was top ranked Sherbrooke Castors, and the Royals pulled off the upset, winning the series four games to two and earning a berth into the 1980 Memorial Cup.

Defenseman Dave Ezard led the Royals in scoring, as he scored 40 goals and 105 points in 70 games in his overager season. Sixteen year old rookie standout Dale Hawerchuk also broke the 100 point plateau, as he scored 37 goals and 103 points in 72 games, winning the Michel Bergeron Trophy as QMJHL Rookie of the Year. In the post-season, Hawerchuk broke out with 20 goals and 45 points in 18 games to lead the club, winning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as QMJHL Playoff MVP. Dan Daoust scored 40 goals and 102 points in 70 games. Gilles Crepeau led the Royals with 48 goals, as he added 47 assists for 95 points in 65 games.

Marc Crawford had a solid season, as he had 27 goals and 63 points in 54 games. In the playoffs, he was third in team scoring with eight goals and 28 points in 18 games. Regular season goaltending duties were split between Tom Graovac, as in 42 games he had a 4.46 GAA and a .857 save percentage, and Ron Scott, as he appeared in 41 games with a 4.75 GAA and a .855 save percentage. In the post-season, Scott emerged as the Royals starting goaltender.

The 1980 Memorial Cup was the second appearance by the Cornwall Royals in team history. The club won the 1972 Memorial Cup in their previous appearance, defeating the Peterborough Petes in the final game.

Peterborough Petes
The Peterborough Petes represented the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League at the 1980 Memorial Cup. This was the Petes third consecutive appearance at the Memorial Cup. Peterborough was the top team in the OMJHL during the 1979-80 season, earning a record of 47-20-1 for 95 points, and winning the Hamilton Spectator Trophy. The Petes scored 316 goals during the regular season, ranking the club ninth in the twelve team league. Peterborough was the top defensive team in the OMJHL, allowing a league low 238 goals. In the Leyden Division semi-finals, the Petes were forced to a game seven before defeating the Sudbury Wolves four games to three. The Petes had an easier time in the Leyden Division finals, sweeping the Ottawa 67's in four games to advance to the OMJHL finals. In the J. Ross Robertson Cup finals, Peterborough stayed hot and swept the Windsor Spitfires in four games to win their third consecutive OMJHL championship and earn a berth into the 1980 Memorial Cup.

Bill Gardner led the Petes offense, scoring a team high 43 goals and 106 points in 59 games. Defenseman Larry Murphy had a breakout season, scoring 21 goals and 89 points in 68 games to rank second in team scoring. Murphy won the Max Kaminsky Trophy awarded to the Top Defenseman in the OMJHL. Murphy was a top prospect heading into the 1980 NHL Entry Draft, where he would be drafted fourth overall by the Los Angeles Kings. Mark Reeds had a very solid season, registering 34 goals and 79 points in 54 games. Rick LaFerriere was the Petes starting goaltender, as in 55 games, he earned a 38-13-1 record with a 3.27 GAA and a .893 save percentage. LaFerriere and his back-up, Terry Wright, won the Dave Pinkney Trophy as the goaltenders with the lowest GAA in the league.

The 1980 Memorial Cup was the Petes fifth appearance in team history. At the 1959, 1972 and 1978 Memorial Cups, the Petes lost in the finals. At the 1979 Memorial Cup, Peterborough won the championship for the first time in team history.

Regina Pats
The Regina Pats represented the Western Hockey League at the 1980 Memorial Cup. The Pats were the top club in the East Division during the 1979-80 season, earning a record of 47-24-1, getting 95 points. Regina had a potent offense, scoring a league high 429 goals. The Pats allowed 311 goals, which ranked them fourth in the WHL in fewest goals allowed. In the post-season, the Pats swept the Lethbridge Broncos in four games in the East Division quarter-finals. In the East Division semi-finals, which was done in a round-robin format, the Pats earned a record of 2-2, good enough to earn a berth into the East Division finals. In the division finals, the Pats defeated the Medicine Hat Tigers four games to one, advancing to the President's Cup finals. In the league finals, the Pats faced the Victoria Cougars, as Regina defeated the Cougars four games to one to win the title and earn a berth into the 1980 Memorial Cup.

The club was led offensively by Doug Wickenheiser, as he led the league with 89 goals and 170 points in 71 games, winning the Bob Clarke Trophy as the top scorer in the WHL. Wickenheiser was also named the Most Valuable Player in the league. In the playoffs, Wickenheiser earned a league high 40 points in 18 games. After the season, Wickenheiser was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens with the first overall selection at the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. Ron Flockhart scored 54 goals and 130 points, finishing sixth in WHL scoring. Defenseman Darren Veitch scored 29 goals and 122 points in 71 games, ranking him eighth in league scoring and becoming a top prospect for the upcoming 1980 NHL Entry Draft. Veitch was drafted fifth overall by the Washington Capitals. Brian Varga scored 39 goals and 118 points, ranking him ninth in WHL scoring. Mike Blaisdell was another top prospect on the Pats, as he scored 71 goals and 109 points in 63 games. Blaisdell led Regina with 16 playoff goals. He would be drafted by the Detroit Red Wings with the eleventh overall selection at the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. The Pats starting goaltender was Bart Hunter, who played in 69 games, earning a record of 45-21-1 with a 4.06 GAA and a .884 save percentage.

The 1980 Memorial Cup was the Pats fourteenth appearance in team history. Regina had won the Memorial Cup four other times, most recently at the 1974 Memorial Cup. Other seasons in which the Pats won were 1925, 1928 and 1930.

Controversy
The 1980 Memorial Cup is remembered as one of the most controversial in the tournament's history. Going into the final game of the round-robin, Peterborough (the defending champs, having won their first Cup in 1979) had clinched first place overall, and, with a win over Cornwall, would have faced Regina in the Cup final.

Many in Saskatchewan believed that the Petes deliberately threw the final game of the round-robin in order to face the Royals (a team that was perceived as weaker, despite having future superstar Dale Hawerchuk) again in the final. In the contest, Peterborough took a 4-1 lead in the second period; Cornwall scored late in the second to cut the lead to 4-2. Confident of victory, the Petes pulled starting goaltender Rick LaFerriere (who made the tournament all-star team and later played in the NHL) and put in his back-up; Cornwall proceeded to storm back with three tallies to take a 5-4 lead. With 1:26 to play, partisan Saskatchewan fans began chanting "throw the game" and "Petes, go home." Soon, the fans began throwing toilet paper, programs, soft drinks and other things at the Petes, causing a fifteen-minute delay and the arrival of some Regina city policemen. The game ended 5-4, thus clinching Cornwall's berth in the Cup final.

The allegations were never proven; Peterborough coach (and future NHL skipper) Mike Keenan hotly denied the rumours, calling them "garbage" whipped up by the media. Even if the Petes did lose on purpose, it quickly backfired on them, as the Royals upended Peterborough on Robert Savard's goal in overtime, 3-2, to take the trophy. The game had been interrupted on sixteen occasions as fans threw eggs—and even a live chicken—on the ice. After Savard's game-winning goal, things got even uglier as the Peterborough bench was pelted with eggs, tomatoes, garbage and debris.

Zdobycie Konstantynopola – szturm krzyżowców IV krucjaty na stolicę Cesarstwa Bizantyjskiego 12–13 kwietnia 1204 roku.

Po pierwszym zdobyciu przez krzyżowców Konstantynopola w negocjacjach z przywódcami krucjaty 18 lipca 1203 uwolniony z więzienia Izaak II Angelos zgodził się na koronację swego syna Aleksego Angelosa na współcesarza, czego dopełniono 1 sierpnia 1203. Pozostawała jeszcze kwestia wypłacenia krzyżowcom przez Aleksego obiecanych im kwot. Nowy cesarz zastał pusty skarb i praktycznie żadnych widoków jego zapełnienia w krótkim czasie, zaś krzyżowcy żądali zapłaty natychmiast. Ostatecznie Aleksy zapowiedział krzyżowcom i Wenecjanom, że zapłaci im dopiero w marcu 1204 oraz zaproponował, by do tego czasu pozostali w okolicach miasta. Mimo kolejnej fali wrzenia w szeregach krzyżowców na naradzie latem 1203 propozycja Aleksego została przyjęta. Latem i jesienią 1203 krzyżowcy pomagali Aleksemu w opanowaniu okolic Konstantynopola.

Jednak cesarz nadal nie dotrzymywał swoich zobowiązań finansowych. Krzyżowcy, Wenecjanie i Grecy coraz bardziej tracili do siebie zaufanie, do czego przyczyniały się starcia między łacinnikami a mieszkańcami miasta oraz piractwo Wenecjan na Morzu Marmara. W listopadzie 1203 cierpliwość krzyżowców się wyczerpała. Po kolejnej burzliwej naradzie przedstawiono cesarzowi ultimatum, żądając natychmiastowej zapłaty i grożąc rabunkiem miasta. Przyparty do muru Aleksy IV odmówił.

Z początkiem grudnia 1203 zaczęły się drobne starcia zbrojne. Grecy wypadami z miasta nękali krzyżowców, którzy ze swojej strony gotowali się do szturmu. Dwukrotnie Grecy próbowali podpalić flotę wenecką. Sytuacja przedstawiała się raczej beznadziejnie dla krzyżowców, ponieważ ich zapasy topniały w oczach, a liczebność wojska nieubłaganie się zmniejszała.

Z pomocą przyszli im jednak sami Bizantyjczycy. Zbierając srebro i złoto na zapłatę dla krzyżowców Aleksy IV utracił resztki poparcia wśród ludu i arystokracji Konstantynopola, które już wcześniej zraził do siebie prołacińską postawą. Wyłoniła się przeciw niemu opozycja pod wodzą Aleksego Dukasa zwanego Murzuflos, szambelana dworu cesarskiego, który 7 stycznia 1204 zjawił się w Konstantynopolu, by pomóc w walce przeciw łacinnikom. Murzuflos przystąpił do zdecydowanych działań. 25 stycznia 1204 uwięził Aleksego IV Angelosa, 26 stycznia ogłosił się cesarzem, 2 lutego zgładził innego pretendenta do tronu – patrycjusza Mikołaja Kanabosa (okrzykniętego cesarzem przez lud 27 stycznia), wreszcie 8 lutego zamordował Aleksego IV Angelosa. Po naturalnej śmierci Izaaka II Angelosa (5 lutego) pozostał jedynym pretendentem do tronu i zdobył poparcie gwardii wareskiej - najważniejszej bizantyjskiej siły militarnej.

Aleksy Dukas V Murzuflos konsekwentnie odmówił żądaniom krzyżowców, wobec czego na początku lutego 1204 walki rozgorzały na nowo. Poza motywem pieniężnym po stronie krzyżowców zagrał motyw ambicjonalny – łacinnicy poczuli się oszukani. Szeregowemu rycerstwu wojnę z Bizancjum przedstawiono jako wojnę przeciwko królobójcy Murzuflosowi. Wojsko krzyżowe było nieliczne, ale dobrze wyćwiczone po dwóch latach walk i pewne swoich racji. 10 marca 1204 rozpoczęto przygotowania do szturmu. Ze swojej strony Bizantyjczycy przygotowywali się do obrony ściągając wojsko z prowincji i naprawiając mury, jednak brak im było ducha walki.

Pierwszy szturm nastąpił w piątek 9 kwietnia 1204 i po całodziennej walce skończył się niepowodzeniem. Następny szturm krzyżowcy przypuścili 12 kwietnia. W jego wyniku, po przełamaniu obrony na murach, hufiec Hugona z Saint-Pol wdarł się do miasta i zmusił Murzuflosa do ucieczki. Obrona się załamała i krzyżowcy wdarli się do miasta. Nastąpiła rzeź mieszkańców, która trwała do zmroku. Wieczorem większość krzyżowców wycofała się poza miasto. Nocą Aleksy Murzuflos uciekł z miasta, uciekli również pozostali pretendenci do tronu z rodzin Dukasów, Laskarysów i Angelosów. Rano gwardia wareska złożyła hołd Bonifacemu z Montferrat, uważając go za zdobywcę tronu. Od 14 do 16 kwietnia 1204 trwało plądrowanie miasta, z którego zrabowano niesłychane ilości złota i srebra – przy okazji niszcząc je bezprzykładnie. Samo plądrowanie miasta przez zdobywców było podówczas rzeczą normalną, dozwoloną prawem wojennym, lecz jego skala wykraczała poza spotykane przykłady.

Zdobycie Konstantynopola dało początek Cesarstwu Łacińskiemu (1204-1261).
