The theory of Evolution is one of the most debated subjects in science next to the Big Bang. It is believed that humans evolved from ape like creatures into what we are today. I argue that evolution is a theory and just a theory, although no one can actually prove neither idea.
In the 60s, the western music has experienced radical changes. In the most daring artistic period of our modern history, the quest in each branch of the Arts marked a cultural renaissance that affected the modern Western culture. The voice of a new generation supported the movement against the war in Vietnam and the one for the rights of black people. Pacifists, feminists, pioneers of the electronic sound and experimenters of LSD, they all coexisted in a period of unsurpassed artistic and cultural events of modern history. The contestation of young people was greatly expressed by folk songwriters like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. Continuing the tradition of the great left-wing folk artists (Woody Guthrie, Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger), they gave voice to a youth who was shouting "We want the world and we want it now" (Jim Morrison’s lyrics). Seeing the massive mobilization of the new era, it seems natural that this was the age that revealed the major music festivals. The promoters of the first Woodstock festival named their event after Dylan’s hometown hoping that he might accept the invitation to play there. Although he didn’t go, almost every great musician of that period participated, creating a monumental festival.
Music festivals are still one of the most important and profitable segments of the entertainment industry (events like Coachella in the US and Primavera in Europe, are continuing successfully the Woodstock tradition). Meanwhile, a great historic cycle of cross-cultural influences was completed: The African slaves’ rhythmic traditions, mutated into R’n’B, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and hit the British (and European) youth as a storm. The most famous and creative children of that storm (and the pioneers of the infamous ‘British Invasion’) were The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
The motley collection of buildings on the north side of Idle Cricket Club's Cavendish Road ground. They comprise (from left) tearoom, dressing rooms and clubhouse. Pictured before a Bradford League relegation battle against fellow Championship Two strugglers Hopton Mills. The visitors were skittled for 70. After slumping to 19-4, they mounted a recovery, but the last five wickets went down for the addition of eight runs. Idle, chalking up a third consecutive victory, lost just two batters in easing to their target.
Match statistics:
Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 15. Hopton Mills won the toss and elected to bat. Hopton Mills 70 off 25.5 overs (Zaaid Sajwal 35, Salman Khan 5-23, Deron Greaves 2-3, Quadratullah Azizi 2-7) 1pt lost by eight wickets to Idle 71-2 off 23.4 overs (Naseem Aslam 41 not out, Umar Abbas 2-21) 19pts. Umpires: Craig Chaplin and Stephen Preshaw.
Idle Cricket Club can trace their roots to 1861 and the formation of Idle United Cricket Club. They played at Holly Fields and Dunk Hill before disbanding. In 1865, the club reformed as Idle Lilywhite Cricket Club, playing first on Idle Moor then on a field at Thorp Garth. Renaming, as Idle Cricket Club, coincided in 1889 with a move to Cavendish Road, the club's present home. In 1896, Idle had joined the West Yorkshire League before, in 1906, switching to the Bradford League, established three years earlier. Legendary opening bat Jack Hobbs, later to find fame with Surrey and England, and earn a knighthood, signed for Idle in 1915, and spent three seasons at Cavendish Road. He was paid £5 a match plus expenses. Idle's best season was 1965, in which they secured the First Division championship and Priestley Cup double. The title was retained in 1966 and 1967, a notable hat-trick. They finished second in 1964 and 1968. Idle also topped the Bradford League First Division in 1910, 1916, 1974 and 1977, and lifted the Priestley Cup in 1912, 1923, 1931, 1951 and 1976. Five victories from five cup final appearances is unprecedented in Bradford League history. Low points came in 1945, 2010, 2012 and 2013, when Idle were forced to apply for re-election. The club, often yo-yoing between the First and Second divisions, have struggled in recent seasons. Vandals in 4x4 vehicles caused major damage to the Cavendish Road square and outfield shortly before the 2016 season began. For 2017, Idle find themselves in Championship Two, the third tier of the Bradford League following its 2016 merger with the Central Yorkshire League.

Discovered my Argus C3 from 1955 among my thousands of slides taken with it. Earned it selling magazine subscriptions to steel mill workers while working as a laborer during summer college recess. It weighs 1.8 lbs. Quite an evolution to my Nikon P4. Argus has a spring loaded leaf shutter. See large
