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.
A lack of education and standing for women is creating a cycle of child poverty.
Margaret Ikiara, leader of CIFORD, our partners in Kenya, has nearly 30 years' experience in crop husbandry, agricultural economics, teaching and community development. She explains this cycle:
"Continued poverty in the society was due to high school drop-out rates among the girls due to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), early marriages and teenage pregnancy. The women continued to be marginalized and could not make decisions which would affect community development. In a community where many women do not complete primary school, high malnutrition and child mortality are common due to ignorance."
But with training, this cycle can be broke. Women can support themselves, their families and their communities:
“Our neighbours are using the skills from us and we believe with the continued training, our community will be food secure, I thank CIFORD for supporting Women in our community.” Margaret Muthee, Akaiga Women group
Child.org supports women like Margaret Muthee by providing the skills, resources and the confidence necessary for sustainable farming.
Our partners CIFORD provide training in agricultural practice and vital tools needed to ensure crops succeed, principally water storage so that during times of drought, their livelihoods aren't at risk and their families and communities can thrive.

The actual fight took plase during the night and about 100 yards from the dead animal. The vet inspected the carcass and 3 big puncture marks were found, any 2 could have caused death.
The white rhino is a bit overcrowded in that area and it must have been a challange for dominance in the area.

Hedge Sparrow, Hedge Accentor, Black Wren
One of Ireland's top-20 most widespread garden birds.
Status: Common resident throughout Ireland.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is regarded as Secure.
Identification: Roughly Robin-sized, the Dunnock is a sturdy dark brown bird, with bold black streaking and a bluish-grey head and neck, a thin pointed bill and orange-brown legs. Fairly common in gardens, parks, woodland and farmland, though usuaully only seen singly or in pairs. Tends to remain low in vegetation or creeps along the ground close to or under hedges.
Similar Species: Wren, House Sparrow
Call: A rapid jumble of notes given in one burst - the metallic grating quality has been likened to a squeaky wheel. Call a harsh, rasping "tcheh".
Diet: Small insects and their lavae. Will take scarps from bird table, including fat.
Breeding: Breeds mainly in hedgerows, all over the country. Nest of moss and dead grass.
Wintering: Widespread.
Where to See: Widespread and common throughout Ireland.
Physical characteristics
The dunnock is a relatively small bird that has an average length of 15 centimeters, and weighs about 19 grams. Like other accentors, its beak is pointed and slender and its feet and legs are sturdy. The dunnock can have a blue-gray head and breast, and a light and dark brown back with streaks, brown-streaked flanks, and pink legs. The under parts of the dunnock tend to be uniformly gray with apricot markings.
Habitat
The dunnock resides in woods that have an ample amount of undergrowth, as well as in the hedges and shrubbery at the edges of forests. They also thrive in farm areas that have a lot of vegetation, and in the gardens of villages.
Other details
Prunella modularis is a widespread breeder across much of Europe, which constitutes >95% of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is extremely large (>12,000,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Although there were declines in France and Sweden during 1990-2000, populations increased or were stable elsewhere in Europe, and the species remained stable overall.
Feeding
Dunnocks are omnivores, eating various invertebrates such as insects, spiders, and worms during warm months. In the winter they survive on seeds and berries, some of the various kind of seeds are in feeders meant for songbirds in gardens and backyards.
Conservation
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Dunnocks are known for their secretive behavior and tend to be shy in their habits. Most of the populations are migratory. During breeding season, they are seen either as individuals or in pairs. During the winter they tend to gather in large flocks in order to forage for food?with a good food source, a hundred or more might gather. The birds voice is heard in a short but complex song that is composed of a succession of rapid and even notes and trills.
Breeding season for dunnocks runs approximately from the beginning of April to the end of July, generally raising two broods a year. The incubation period lasts from twelve to fourteen days, and the young are ready to fly about eleven to thirteen days after they are hatched. Both male and female parents care for the young. Dunnocks are sometimes polyandrous breeders, with a female mating with several males within the breeding territory. In that case, it is usual for all of the parties involved to raise the young.
Migration
Resident, partial migrant, and, in northern and central Europe, total migrant. Main continental populations, especially those breeding in northern areas (Fenno-Scandia, northern Germany, Poland, and northern FSU east to Urals) and to lesser extent those from southern areas (central France to Corsica, Sardinia, and central Italy), move to winter in south-west Iberia, Mediterranean area, southern FSU, and Turkey. Considerable passage to Mediterranean islands, but apparently rather rare in North Africa, and only at all regular in northern Tunisia. Movement on wide front and close to a north-east/south-west axis. Main migration periods September-November and March-April.

We went a little overboard securing the Christmas Tree to to the top of the MINI. But the darned thing didn't budge from Woodinville back home, so I'll do it the same next year.
