Director Haifaa al-Mansour insists Wadjda, her movie about a Saudi girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, which opens in the U.S. Friday, isn't a "feminist film." That may be why it's such a good one.
Indeed, it is hard to imagine a less ideological film about defying gender norms in a country where women are legally required to have a male guardian and are expected to cover themselves head-to-toe every time they leave the house. The protagonist, Wadjda, is a ten-year-old girl just growing wise to these realities, and her insubordination is often unconscious. There's nothing intentionally insurrectionist in the fact that she gets along better with the little boy down the street than the girls at school, and she can't help that her favorite sneakers are beat-up, her head scarf constantly askew. (In the U.S., she would be called a "tomboy," rail-skinny with spiky elbows and a total disregard for rules.) As the film progresses, we see a certain social awareness start to take shape, but it is personal, not political.
Mansour says this tight focus on her protagonist was, in part, a practical necessity. She was making the film for a Saudi audience—the only one that could truly understand the strictures its female characters face, and the one that needed to hear its message—and she didn't want to run the risk that it wouldn't be shown there. "I don't want to work in a vacuum," she explained. The director chose a child for her heroine partly because pre-adolescents aren't so rigidly circumscribed in Saudi society, and she needed Wadjda to be able to run around. The movie is all about mobility: It centers on Wadjda's efforts to buy herself a bicycle so that she can beat her friend, Abdullah, in a race. Every time she reveals her plan, however, she's greeted with a chorus of "girls don't ride bikes!" A bike is anathema to feminine virtue, but it is also freedom from a life like Wadjda's mother's, who is stranded at home every time her grouchy driver decides not to show up. The right to drive has been a hotly politicized issue in Saudi Arabia for years, and it says a great deal about Mansour's deftness as a filmmaker that the coveted bicycle can be both a potent symbol and the linchpin of a classical, poetically simple plot.
At its heart, the movie is a conventional coming-of-age tale, skillfully executed down to its sniffle-inducing final scene. Saudi Arabia is its backdrop more than its subject, and it presents the country with the nuance only a native could master. The critique is unambiguous, as in a scene where Wadjda writes her name on a notecard and pins it to her father's family tree, which only records the births of sons. But Mansour's attitude toward her culture is not wholesale rejection. The pride Wadjda takes in learning to sing the verses of the Koran for a recitation contest is without caveat or irony. This "soft" feminism paid off: Though Mansour says the movie was controversial, Saudi Arabia has submitted Wadjda as its Oscar bid.
That official approval was hard-won; the story behind the making of Wadjda illustrates just what an unlikely event this film is. Mansour was determined that Wadjda would be the first feature-length movie ever filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia, as well as the first with a female lead. This meant that she had to direct from inside a van when they did scenes on the street, since women can't work with men in public places, and the crew was male. She had a monitor inside the vehicle and a walkie-talkie through which, she jokes, she "screamed" at the actors and crew. The shooting was slow, and Mansour was forced to cut scenes. All the while, they struggled with funding; as Mansour says, "people did not believe in a simple film about a girl with a bicycle." Luckily for us, Mansour, like her plucky heroine, was not deterred.


Today I had in mind to tell you about the dragons that adorn the Great Pagoda in Kew Gardens, which is the Pagoda from the top of which you can see the Big Things of London.
But I spent today paying attention to cricket, and fretting about whether enough people would attend my Brian's Last Friday Meeting, that happened earlier this evening, so I did not manage to say anything here about the above mentioned dragons. Too complicated.
What these inflated plastic dragons tell you is that Kew Gardens, in addition to being a place of Outstanding Scientific Interest, is also what is now called a Visitor Attraction. A place, in other words, to which children are glad to go to rather than rebellious about being made to go. And there is nothing like friendly inflated plastic dragons with goofy smiles on their faces to make children feel welcome.
I, meanwhile, have no particular objection to visiting a Visitor Attraction. Before I had a digital camera, I used to be snobbish about going to places which other people in large numbers also liked. But since acquiring my first digital camera (I am now on about my seventh) and since acquiring the hobby of photoing other digital photoers, I find that my former distaste for Visitor Attractions has melted away. The more people there are at a particular spot (and if they can bring their children without their children objecting, there will be more people) the more chance there is that there will be people photoing, and that makes me happy.
So: hurrah for the inflated plastic dragons of Kew Gardens. Which I also quite like myself.
I did a posting about a Big Thing Alignment that I saw when I went with Darren to that cricket match at the oval, and I did a posting about how the last ball of that game looked, two days later, on video.
Now for some more photos I took on the day Darren and I went to day 2 of that game between Surrey and Lancashire.
I love how, in the middle of that big photo, we see one of those excellent You Are Here signs that you see all over London, and in many other spots, I don't doubt, in not-London. I really like these signs, and constantly photo them, if only to remind me for later of exactly where Here was at that particular moment.
I was hoping that this OCS Stand, would be as open for people to sit in as it was in the above photo photo, because I have yet to experience the views from the top of that stand, surely as dramatic in their own ways as the stand itself. But on the evening when Darren and I were there, the OCS Stand was shut. Shame. Memo to self: I will photo these views. If I have to make a special trip to the Oval just to ask about that, fine, I'll do it, and keep on doing it, until they let me up there, preferably on a nice day.
That photo makes the ground look pretty dark, even though the floodlights were on. And it does not deceive. The ground did indeed look dark, to the human eye.
Some like ancient, and dislike modern. Others dislike ancient, and like modern. Me? I like both, and particularly like it when they are near each other, or (as in this case) facing each other, and I can relish the contrast.
One of the particular charms of cricket grounds – this being especially true of the two big London grounds, the Oval and Lord's – is that they feature both (fairly(at least in style)) ancient, and (very) modern architecture. In comparison,.I find big stadiums built all in one go very dull. I went to a football game at Wembley, and if it hadn't been for the big arch on the top of it, it would have been totally anonymous. It's not just the architectural uniformity. It's also that in a place like Wembley there are no gaps, and you can't see anything except the stadium. You could be anywhere.
But forget the US Embassy. The reason I am showing you the above photo is to tell you how very dark the ground had become. Forget playing cricket. How on earth can you even see anything on that cricket pitch?
The floodlights were blasting away in both of those photos, not just in the second one. Yet, in the first, they were being totally outshone by the paltry remnants of daylight. Only when daylight had seriously dimmed did the floodlights suddenly start to make their presence felt. And even then the sky is still quite light, especially down near the horizon.
I have been to the Oval quite a few times, but don't recall witnessing the extremity of this contrast ever before. I think it helped that we were looking down on the ground from quite a height, onto the brightness of the ground. But basically, I've never been there when it was properly dark before.
The reason the above photo, especially of the people near me to the left, looks like it was taken with flash is because there is another big clutch of floodlights coming crashing into us from off to the right, very nearby.
One of the more agreeable features of London's big two cricket grounds - Lord's especially - is the number of giant photos there are on show, of cricketing heroes present and past. It was the same when I visited White Hart Lane a while back.
Sciver lead her team to victory on Bank Holiday Monday in the ladies T20 national tournament. Her Surrey "Stars" beat "Western Storm" in the one semi-final, and then won the final against Loughborough "Lightning". Lizelle Lee got a century for Surrey in the final, but she got good support from Sciver, and Sciver excelled with both bat and ball in the semi-final, which was a lot closer.
The Church of Cricket is, I quite realise, but a small sect, these days, at any rate in England, compared to the Universal Church of Football. But the point about sport replacing religion in modern life still stands.
It's the variety I like, and the mixture of the ancient (the chimney pots (including some quite superior ones)) and the modern (aerials), that I like. The chimney pots are often very decorative on purpose, while the more modern technology is only decorative as a throw-away consequence of how it needs to be to do its various jobs.
In one of them, there is scaffolding.
Yesterday, GodDaughter 2 and I spent the afternoon in Kew Gardens. Which is a lot bigger and a lot bigger of a deal than I realised.
The high point of our day, literally as well as metaphorically, was our visit to the Great Pagoda. And not just the Great Pagoda in a general way. We climbed up the stairs to the top of the Great Pagoda.
I know what you're thinking. Not very clear photos. Rather vague and blurry. All true, and you are definitely entitled to your opinion, if that is what it is.
But in my defence, and in defence also of my camera, take a look at the same view, minus the zoom.
The third of the above photos being a lot closer to what I merely saw than the first two are.
The vast expanse of greenery in the foreground is … Kew Gardens. That photo was photoed half way up the Pagoda, as soon as I realised that this view was happening.
As I keep saying, my camera has far better eyesight than I do, and I am afraid the gap is growing.
Something that continues to grow is my admiration for the Walkie Talkie. When lit as it is in the first two photos above, and when it is seen from a great distance, it is the most beautiful City of London Big Thing of them all, I think.
Here are two fun and silly and consequently viral animal videos that I was recently shown on Twitter, but they both raise a non-trivial question about animals and their degree of self-awareness.
First up, a cat looks in a mirror, and is surely not aware that the other cat is him/her. Cats are much stupider than they seem to us, because their basic method of going about things is the way a wise human goes about things, often rather slowly, carefully and thoughtfully, or else in a way that looks very alert and clever But, often they are thick as several planks.
Meanwhile, a dog watches herself on TV doing one of those canine obstacle courses in a show. Dogs behave like stupid humans, with wildly excessive enthusiasm for stupid things, and consequently we tend to think of them as being very rather stupid. But the typical dog is a lot cleverer than the typical cat, I believe. Dogs don't care how stupid they look. Cats typically don't either, but cats typically behave like they do care about looking stupid, unless you dangle something in front of them on a string, at which point they go crazy, unless they are too old to care.
But back to my self-awareness point.
This is amazing I hope she knows its her.
In other words, Matt is no more certain than I am that she does know it's her. Maybe she's watching a totally different dog do what she likes to do, and she's excited about that, just like any other sports fan.
The cat video ends with a variation on what seems to be a regular internet gag about misbehaving reflections (that vid being in the comments on the cat vid), but that's a different story. Someone else adds a Marx Brother, or maybe it's actually two Marx Brothers, doing the same gag, in those far off days before there was an internet.
That cricket match at the Oval that my friend Darren took me to, the floodlit one, ended yesterday, and it got very tense, with Surrey eventually winning by just 6 runs.
The game ended with what you might call a 32 point catch, by Surrey substitute fielder Will Jacks. (Whoever won the game would get 16 more points, and whoever lost it, no more points.) Morne Morkel bowled what turned out to be the final ball. Lancashire number 11 Parkinson hit it hard to his left. But Jacks stuck out his right hand and caught it.
You can see video of this moment here. It was indeed quite a catch.
But what I really like about that bit of video is the way the Surrey players on view - bowler Morkel, Jacks on the right, the wicketkeeper and three slip fielders – all then celebrate.
Jacks takes the catch and turns and runs away from the pitch, like a child imitating an airplane.
I surmise that cricketers do this when celebrating, (a) because they just have to celebrate, so celebrational are they feeling, but (b) they run away from the pitch in order to avoid any chance of being accused of celebrating in the face of an opponent, which cricket's authorities disapprove of. So, they run like lunatics away from where the game just happened.
So, Jacks turns and runs towards the boundary.
At which point the screen suddenly contains two more Surrey players, both running towards Jacks, to celebrate with him. In all, about six guys are running towards Jacks.
However, some of those doing this realise, or so I surmise, that if they run after Jacks, they might never catch him. Besides which, there is the matter of mobbing Morne Morkel, who has now taken six wickets and basically won the match for Surrey, so about three of the Surrey players wheel around and exit stage left, to mob Morkel instead, because Morkel has run off to the left, to do his celebrating. Instantly, the picture, which had contained eight Surrey players, suddenly contains none at all, just the two disconsolate Lancashire batters.
Lancashire, way down at the bottom of Division One of the County Championship, really needed those 16 points, so they must have been very disconsolate indeed. No Jacks catch and Lancs would surely have won. But Jacks caught it and Surrey's winning streak continues.
But, the news tonight for Lancs is better. They are playing Kent in the quarter finals of the T20 slog, from which Surrey have already been eliminated, and they are well on the way to winning. I support Kent in this one, because Kent is nearer to London than Lancashire. And oh look, while I was just dashing off this posting, Kent have contrived to lose three more wickets and are now 114-9, with only two overs to go in their innings. That surely won't be enough. So Lancs will soon, surely, be feeling much better.
But hello. Lancs now 10-2. Maybe Lancs will lose tonight's game by 6 runs also.
On the left, the "South Bank Tower". Not interesting enough to the general public for it to have a name. On the right, what I prefer to call The Wheel. And in the middle? I tend to call it One Blackfriars, but as Londonist points out, many people are calling this the Boomerang.
And, as I only just remembered to say: the vertical bit on the far right is the edge of all that activity going on around the old Shell Building, and the building in the foreground is just flats, next to the iMax roundabout.
I actually really like that building. In general I think most of the modern buildings in London are worthy. A world class city deserves unique buildings and London has plenty of them, all different from each other and I like that individuality.
I absolutely don't understand how Facebook works, and probably never will, so I have no idea if I even can link to this, let alone whether, if I can, I should. So, just take my words for it.
Someone else says that, actually, what I have been calling the "Boomerang" is "informally known as The Vase". Well, well. I prefer that to Boomerang.
Cameras you don't see much any more. Even a free London newspaper you don't see at all, any more.
Even the guy just smoking while photoing now looks a bit noughties.
Yes, earlier this evening, my mate Darren arranged for me to drop by at the Oval to witness day 2 of the first Day/Night game of four day county cricket to be staged at the Oval. However, all I have the energy to show you for now is this new-to-me Big Thing alignment, as seen from the very superior seats way up in the pavilion, where Surrey members like Darren (and his plus one) can sit.
Not surprisingly, these superior seats are one of my favourite spots in London (therefore in the world), because you can see things like the above, and cricket.
What we mostly observe in the above photo is the Walkie Talkie. But behind we also see the newly erected Scalpel. And, eagle-eyed viewers will also be able to discern, from two very small clues, the Gherkin. Yes, that is definitely the Gherkin.
What the thing between the chimney pots in the foreground and the Walkie Talkie is, I do not know.
I especially like the two window cleaning cranes on the top of the Walkie Talkie.
Sleep well. I am definitely about to do this myself.
I still photo taxis with adverts on them, and I especially liked this one, advertising this..
It made me think of the last time I went up to the top of the Shard, just over a year ago.
That was cropped to confine itself to the one building, and photoshop(clone)ed to resist the dullness of the day and general fogginess of the original.
Part of me wants to say that this is a classic case of the behind-the-scenes bit of a building, a chunk of it that you are not supposed to look at and get all aesthetic about. It is what it is.
But I actuallly think that this is the facade of the building that the architects of it were most proud. There is an exuberance about this roof, done in the equipment-as-decoration style, that is utterly lacking in the rest of the building. The "official" bits of which are about as dull as dullness can get. They didn't have the budget to go full Lloyds Building, all over. But they were able to go crazy on the roof, because the politicians whose job it was to tell them to redo the design more boringly didn't give the roof any attention. They thought they were building a machine for studying in, but only on the roof were they able to go mad with "expressing" that machineness.
I reckon they were delighted that the Shard was later put right next to this block of boredom with a great roof, enabling thousands of folks to gaze down on their favourite bit.. Gotcha, boredom police!
Okay, just a thought, and a thought that could well be wrong. Maybe they really didn't care how the roof looked. But take a look through these photos of this mostly very dull slab, mostly taken from street level, of course, and see if you don't share my suspicions.
Do not deny my lived experience.
This is the exactly kind of thing I joined Twitter to be informed of. Pinker, it seems, is a Real Photographer, or at least Real enough for me not to know the difference. I'm sure that The World has known about Pinker's photoing for as long as he has been doing it, but The World did not include me, until a few days ago.
So I hope that the small and cropped repro that I have included here, of one of the more eye-catching of these photos, of something called a frigatebird, will not incur the ire of Pinker Inc., or whatever it is that might be irate. If Pinker Inc. does demand the removal of even this little photo, that will happen straight away.
But if it does, no matter. Follow the above links and feast your eyes and your mind on the weird and wonderful creatures of the Galapagos Islands.
That GodDaughter 1 on the left there. We were on one of our photowalks, in August 2013, in other words just under five years ago. I was looking for something dated, perhaps because temporary, and there was quite a lot of stuff in that part of London, Olympic Games territory, that must look very different now. But that snap grabbed my attention, and I hope it tickles yours.
I took several versions of this shot. The above was the first and best version, once I had realised that I could crop it to include everything about the shot that mattered and remove everything that didn't, basically by losing a chunk at the bottom of my original. I tend to resist cropping. There is something (to me) pure, even perfect, about the image exactly as it comes out of the camera, no cropping, no enhancing, no nothing. But this time it made for a definite improvement, I think.
The subject of the photo (perhaps mutual friends of her and me will recognise who it is (and also where it was taken)) put it on her Facebook page, which is very flattering.
She being an Instagrammer used only a square version, which may or may not have been an aesthetic preference. Personally, I find the patterns made on the wall by that strange planetary light fitting very intriguing, especially in a photo, which, by eliminating all context and knowledge of what is going on makes it seem all the more strange. That's the thing about photos. All you see is the photo.
And talking of how others may recognise her, I find it intriguing how very recognisable she is, to me anyway.
In her version, she added some blue to the wall. To make it more weird and outdoorsy, and less specific? In general, I like it when people take my photos and play around with them. Again: very flattering.
She also said something about how her scrunched up shoulders revealed how stressed she had been lately. I never noticed that, neither when I photoed the photo, nor since. But one thing I do know, from speaking to my friend Bruce the Real Photographer, and being photoed by Bruce the Real Photographer, and from speaking to others who have been photoed by Bruce the Real Photographer, is that Real Photographers know all about things like that. Real Photographers, of the sort who photo people, are experts on human physiology. The know, for instance, how to make your face look different by making you move your body around. Had he been photoing this lady, he would have made her relax.
But I wasn't doing a portrait; I was just snatching a fun shot, uninvited. Then once I had worked out how to crop it, I sent it to her, and asked could I put it here? She said yes, and also could she use it too. So all the niceties were observed, as is proper in this age of face recognition software and easily violated intellectual property rights. Whatever they are, exactly. In plainer English, both of us like this photo, and are happy for it to get around.
This lady looked normal enough, apart from the headgear. I made no secret of the fact that I was photoing her, and she clearly saw me doing this and didn't seem to min. Or maybe she was concentrating on her phoning and actually didn't see me. Either way, I waited until her face was hidden.
The sane explanation for the headgear was the heat. And honestly, I do believe that this was what it was for. That heatwave really was very hot.
What gives, I wonder? I found it fascinating, but is it an act of social media aggression to have immediately copied it, and now to be displaying it here? I don't yet know the rules for such things.
The first fascinating thing, to me, about the above photo is how impossible to get to and from those houses look.
Did Charlie Waite take the first photo down because he does not want his camera to be telling lies? However beautiful and awe-inspiring? Perhaps.
14, 17, 23, 15, 14, 15, 15, 10, 12, 9, 15, 11, 10, 14.
Middlesex had scored what looked like a very formidable 221 in their twenty overs. Surrey demolished this target with four overs to spare.
I was indeed puzzled, as I perused the result of that game on my mobile phone. 0 runs scored, 0 balls faced. Stumped. But I worked it out for myself, so I guess I solved the philosophical challenge. Finch didn't do much better, scoring a mere 16. But Surrey still won.
And in between, there was the little matter of England squeaking home against India. So, a good three days of cricket, which, with the magic of mobile phonery, I was able to combine with having a bit of a life.
Apart from the little fact that Joss Buttler, whom I earlier talked up, was the only total non-contributor to England's win. He got out twice for a total of one run, facing all of four deliveries. Adil Rashid, whom I talked down, got three wickets, including the crucial one of Kohli in the first innings. Kohli had, by then, scored 148 runs. But if Rashid hadn't then got him, who's to say Kohli wouldn't have scored another big pile of runs and given India a match-winning first innings lead?
At least I didn't trash Stokes, who got the vital wickets for England at the end, or Surrey's own Sam Curran, who got Man of the Match for taking five wickets and for turning England's second innings from match-losingly terrible into, as it turned out, sufficient.
The second test starts on Thursday. And another Surreyite, Sam Pope, is in the England squad and could also play. I can't wait, as GodDaughter 2 and her sister both say in such circumstances. Meaning: I can wait and I will wait, even though I would prefer it if I didn't have to wait.
Yes, every time I visit my friends in Fulham Road, I get out at South Kensington tube, a bit early, and I photo, and then sit on the plinth of, the Bartok statue. Follow that link to find out why it's there.
Music is made up of melody, harmony and rhythm. What I like most about Bartok's music is the harmonies, of the more "beautiful" and less strident sort. Too many instruments, too loud, or a piano on its own ditto, and he loses me. In other words, I basically don't like Bartok's music that much, but I sometimes very much like the sound that it makes. I especially like the very beginning of the Concerto For Orchestra, the Piano Concertos (especially number three), and the string quartets. Oh, and I really like Bluebeard's Castle, provided the singing is bearable. I especially like the in-English CD I have of it that came attached to the BBC Music Magazine about two decades ago, in which Sally Burgess sings superbly.. Memo to self: listen to that again. I presume that Bluebeard himself is the usual industrial drill noise that almost all such singers perpetrate for a living, but it will be worth it for Ms Burgess.
This is the recording I mean. Click on that, and you will discover that you can listen to it too.
The Battersea Power Station is now smothered in cranes, so you'll at once realise that the top two of these photos were taken earlier. 1.1, 2005, is a favourite view of many photoers, from Ebury Bridge, at the far end of Warwick Way from me. 1.2, 2012, was taken from the south end of Vauxhall Bridge. 2.1, 2016, how it from the top of Westminster Cathedral, in 2016. 2.2, 2017, is closer up, when I was checking out the beginnings of the work to extend the Northern Line, in 2017.
Whether you like Battersea Power Station or not (I happen to like it a lot), you'd surely agree that it is a very recognisable edifice, and I can understand why many regret that it is about to be surrounded by apartment blocks, of a similar height to the main body of the Power Station. But, that's London for you.
If the Brexit referendum is invalid because some voters were misled by politicians then all election results are invalid.
I used to get angry when I read a juicy quote of this sort, and then clicked on the link, to find … only the juicy quote, in its original tweeted form. I want to read more! But now I realise that the "more" that I can then read is all the other tweet's that whoever it is has been doing lately. Which you can get to by clicking on the x in the top right hand corner. That gets rid of the particular tweet, but reveals the entire twitter feed of whoever did it.
Follow the above link, click on that x, and you are then at Jamie Whyte on Twitter.
Enjoy it while you can Julia, because after BREXIT there will be NO sunrise. The Polish and Romanian workers who lift the sun up every morning will be gone.
Those laser beams that her camera has created make the sun look like a ... white hole.
On August 2nd 2013, exactly five years ago today, there was a clutch of orange umbrellas above Lower Marsh. (Also (see bottom right), 240 Blackfriars Road was under construction.) I don't believe I mentioned these umbrellas at the time I photoed them, and now, I can't google my way to any sort of explanation of them. But, I think I recall investigating them at the time, and I think they were some kind of advert for an art gallery. This guy agrees that these umbrellas were indeed there, then, but he doesn't say anything about them either.
The bottom left one looks to me like the head of some kind of oriental feline creature.
The first test between England and India starts in under an hour, as I write this, and I have the feeling that this is going to be a really good series. India are a terrific side, playing away. England are … a side, playing at home. More exactly, England are a side with lots of individual good players, capable of good things, but for the last few years, they've not been putting it together. A five match series, and they just might.
My opinion on the Adil Rashid row? Not sure. But, probably, this: that a clever spin bowler bowling against batters who have to score at eight an over can get a ton of wickets, because the batters have to play a stupid shot about once an over. However, a spinner bowling against batters who would like to score at four an over but who don't mind scoring at two an over or nought an over is in a massively weaker position, because the batters never have to play stupid shots. So, the bowler gets tired and bowls stupid balls, and eventually the batters are scoring eight an over, and the spinner gets figures of about nought or one for a hundred, and gets the boot. Hope I'm wrong.
English county cricket can look after itself. But the fact is, for spinners, it's a very good proof that you can do it, if you can. But, by the way, what you have to do is quite subtle. Mostly, bowl a lot of overs for not many runs without getting tired, and as a bonus, while regularly taking wickets. You can't do that in white ball cricket. White ball being the 50 and 20 over slogs, in which bowlers bowl only ten or only four overs.
White ball batting, on the other hand, is a different story entirely. A truly good white ball batter can bat for about forty overs and make a score that's truly big even by test standards. I suspect that white ball cricket will supply a steady stream of batters to the England test team, and the result will be that in a few years, England's test team will regularly score 450 in a day, or more. Jos Buttler is the sort of batter England are going to rely on for the next few years. Buttler went straight from having a good IPL – the IPL being the Indian T20 slamfest, played to packed houses and packed TV channels for more money in a year than most pro-cricketers earn in a lifetime – to the England test team. And it worked a treat. Why? Because Buttler can really bat. And he is used to doing it in a big time environment, where his whole future as a human being is at stake, just as it is when you play big test matches.
What's happening here? With batting, all the best and most ambitious county batters now try to bat like Buttler. They try to break into the big time not by grinding out boring 150s over two days, but by smashing a clutch of match-wnning sixes in a T20 game that their county looked like they were losing. They get some chances and they grab them. And I do mean: all. Only the second-raters now cut out the shots, in the manner of the young Geoff Boycott or Ken Barrington, and try to graft their way to greatness. That's how it now feels to me. It's like The Right Stuff said about how all those daring-do fighter-jocks suddenly morphed into risk-averse astronauts, only with batting, the culture switch is in the opposite direction, from risk averse to slam bang. The slam bang batters are now where all the true class is to be found. This was why Buttler was such a great choice. He is just really, really good at batting. He proved it in the IPL. He will prove it again in test cricket. It's the slam bangers who now have the right stuff.
If I am right about all this, then the search for The Opener To Open With Cook will end when they finally decide to give up on all the second-rate grafters whose legs turn to jelly when they see spectators instead of empty seats around the boundary, and to pick classy slam banger Jason Roy. For that, Roy needs to do what Buttler did and have a good IPL. He hasn't yet done this. Before that, they'll probably pick Rory Burns, and he won't cut it. And he will go back to Surrey and be Ramprakash.
Sorry about there not being as many links in this as there should have been. I'm was/am in a rush to nail my petard onto the chopping block before the game kicks off. I'm talking about this game. There you go. Another link.
England have won the toss and will bat.


Onto day 3 and I'm feeling SO MUCH better. The headaches have gone and although I woke up feeling a bit cold and weary, a tasty bowl of warm breakfast muesli perked me right up.
Today's food was a breakfast of muesli with seed mix, cinnamon, chopped mango and blueberry. I'm gradually getting used to eating breakfast first thing and I've noticed it does make me a lot less hungry throughout the morning. Definitely going to keep this habit up!
Snacks today were plums and cashews in the morning, then carrot sticks in the afternoon. I may have neglected to chop my carrot into sticks and instead just nibbled on it like a rabbit, but it's all the same in the end isn't it?
For lunch I had leftover sweet potato soup from last night, and for dinner I've had a really delicious aubergine and borlotti bean dip with toasted rye bread. However, this was the first thing that I've had that I felt a bit weird. It was absolutely delicious, but it was listed as a lunch item and I swapped it dinner to spread my cooking times more evenly. I think this was a bit of a mistake because toast and dip would be an OK lunch but seemed like a really odd dinner. It tasted nice and smoky and would be great with a MASSIVE BAG OF KETTLE CHIPS so I'll be making that again.
The plan recommends that you have a smoothie every day and so after dinner I made one with banana, mango and coconut milk but kept it quite thick so it was a bit more like a yogurt.
I really surprised myself today with a few moments that could have been a challenge. A tin of Quality Street chocolates has appeared at work and I only felt tempted for a very fleeting moment. Then my sister came home and wanted me to help her bake a carrot cake and I didn't even consider licking the bowl. After dinner we watched The Great British Bakeoff and didn't even feel like the ravenous beast the show normally inspires in me, so I'm pretty sure my cravings are in check now.
Hope this continues into tomorrow because I'll need all of my resolve as I face the biggest temptation so far...the pub!
Mood: Slightly above average. Vast improvement on yesterday but not amazing.
Motivation: 7/10 - I'm 1/3 of the way through already!
Stomach: 7/10 – No discomfort.
Energy: 6/10 – Fell asleep on the train on the way home so I'm off for an early night.
Enjoying these posts, Holly - the food sounds quite yummy. And I quite agree re crisps, there's little in life that couldn't be improved by a MASSIVE BAG OF KETTLE CHIPS!

Castleton Wrestling to Host Quad Match Saturday
CASTLETON, Vt. – The Castleton University wrestling program adds another historical event this weekend, as the Spartans welcome Springfield College, Plymouth State, and Johnson & Wales to Glenbrook Gym for Castleton's first-ever home quad match Saturday, Feb. 3, starting at 12 noon.
There will be two mats set up in Glenbrook Gym with two dual contests taking place at the same time. At 12 noon, Castleton will face Springfield while Plymouth State takes on Johnson & Wales. The Spartans then match up with Plymouth State at 1:45 p.m., while Springfield faces Johnson & Wales. The day concludes at 3:30 p.m. with Castleton battling Johnson & Wales and Springfield facing Plymouth State. Meanwhile, exhibition matches will be happening in SHAPE Gym at the same time.
Castleton brings a 10-6 dual match record into Saturday's competition and needs two victories within its final five dual contests of the season to surpass last year's win total of 11. The Spartans finished fifth at the New England Wrestling Association (NEWA) Dual Meet Championship two weeks ago with three victories in four matches, but most recently lost at Western New England last Saturday, 25-15.
Max Tempel has competed in all 16 dual matches so far this season, posting a 13-3 record overall, including a 5-0 mark after dropping down to 141 pounds before the NEWA Dual Championship. Cedrick Stephens brings a 12-2 dual match record at 197 pounds into Saturday's competition, winning his first 10 matches in dual competitions before splitting the last four.
Springfield enters the quad match with a 7-8 dual match record, but the Pride has lost five straight dual contests. Heavyweight Joseph Fusco leads the Pride with 21 victories overall, including 12 wins via pin, and seven wins in dual contests, while Ian Tolotti at 133 pounds is 17-2 so far this season.
Plymouth State brings a 3-5 dual match record into Saturday's competition, finishing 12th at the NEWA Dual Championship after defeating Bridgewater State but losing to Roger Williams, Western New England, and Trinity. Nick Simeti is the Panthers' leading wrestler, posting an 18-6 record at 157 pounds, including 10 pins.
Johnson & Wales was ranked fourth in the most recent National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) poll. The Wildcats are 17-2 in dual matches so far this season, including the NEWA Dual Championship. At 133 pounds, Jay Albis is 36-2, while Michael DiNardo at 197 pounds has 19 pins among his 33-2 record.
All three Castleton matches will be streamed live through the Northeast Sports Network (www.nsnsports.net/colleges/castleton). Saturday's competition begins a busy week for the Spartans, as they travel to Norwich Wednesday, Feb. 7, before hosting Williams in the home finale Friday, Feb. 9, with both of those matches scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

John Waters & Carolyn Kellogg at Coco66
1. Gloria & Jennifer, who attended the Waters event to support their friend Carolyn Kellogg. Fave Waters movies: Hairspray & Crybaby. 2. Rob & Paulina. Rob wants you to know that he wears glasses, and reading is fun.
Last night marked the beginning of the Brooklyn Book Festival weekend, and brought acclaimed cult film director John Waters to Greenpoint to discuss, among other things, the release of his new book Role Models with LA Times staff writer Carolyn Kellogg. The event was held in the back room of Coco66, and felt more like a rock show than a literary event — fitting for a man like Waters. The room was packed, which made sense considering tickets ($25, and included a copy of Role Models) sold out the preceding Monday. Waters spoke with Kellogg on stage and then answered some audience questions before signing books and taking pictures with his adoring fans.
1. Jessi & Andy. Fave Waters movie: Female Trouble, but a close second is Desperate Living. 2. Andy shows off his fabulous nails, although he admitted they're far from practical — especially when it comes to pulling his card out of an ATM.
Here's some Waters one-liner highlights:
"(Greenpoint) looks like Baltimore. But in Baltimore there's no irony. In Baltimore, you ask people what they do for a living and they say things like 'trade deer meat for crack', except they say it without any irony at all."
"Warhol used to wear $300,000 necklaces under a turtleneck, so nobody knew he was wearing it except himself. That's the best way to be elitist."
1. Anna & Emily. Anna gave Emily Role Models as a gift, inscribing "You are my role model" in eyeliner on the first page. 2. LA Times writer Carolyn Kellogg, who interviewed Waters on stage (and did a great job!).
"You can't have a real redneck bar in New York. It's faux redneck. If you were a real redneck, you'd be too stupid to move to New York."
"(Justin Bieber) has a field of whiteheads fighting underneath there. Except he already beat me to that joke, because he's already doing pimple ads."
"I don't trust anyone who hasn't been to jail."
"I find some closeted people to be refreshing. They don't want you to take them to dinner, they're too afraid someone will see them. They just want to come over."
The big man himself, with fan Kelsey.
"The Jackass boys are totally my type. Blue collar boys with anal troubles and a sense of humor."
[In regards to Mary's virgin birth] "That sounds like the worst night ever! Getting pregnant without getting fucked."
"I don't have pets because I'm not lonely."
"I don't like reality TV. I think it's mean spirited. I mean, I do feel superior to Schnookie or whatever her name is, but I don't like it. I feel like with reality TV, you're laughing at them. In my movies, you never laugh at people. No, I want you to laugh with me in amazement at them."

Ezekiel Chapter 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: 2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness? 3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs. 4 The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow; her rivers ran round about her plantation, and she sent out her conduits unto all the trees of the field. 5 Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long, because of the multitude of waters, when it shot them forth. 6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and all the beasts of the field did bring forth their young under its branches, and under its shadow dwelt all great nations. 7 Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters. 8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty. 9 I made it fair by the multitude of its branches; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. {P}
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 11 I do even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I do drive him out according to his wickedness. 12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, do cut him off, and cast him down; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs lie broken in all the channels of the land; and all the peoples of the earth do go down from his shadow, and do leave him. 13 Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field; 14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height, even all that drink water; for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. {P}
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to the nether-world I caused the deep to mourn and cover itself for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. 16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the nether-world with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. 17 They also went down into the nether-world with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were in his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. 18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.' {P}

Q: auto layout conflict with height constraint in custom keyboard I am developing a custom multilingual keyboard for iphone and ipad and i am stuck with a UI thing that i am unable to retain the proper UI in case of orientation change of the device.
My final target is to achieve more keyboard height (default ios keyboard height with suggestions) in both landscape + portrait mode +  in both iPhone + iPad devices.
But as soon as i get the auto resizing up and running (not auto layout), i am not able to add constraints to keyboard height (auto layout disabled in Xib file).
If i add constraints by enabling auto layout, i loose the autoresizing of the subviews so  that they adjust them selves according to the device screen.
My basic issue is that i do not know which way to go, So that i can focus only there.
following is the code i am using to add constraints programatically.
- (void)updateViewConstraints {
    [super updateViewConstraints];
    CGFloat _expandedHeight = 273;
    NSLayoutConstraint *_heightConstraint =
    [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem: self.view
                                 attribute: NSLayoutAttributeHeight
                                 relatedBy: NSLayoutRelationEqual
                                    toItem: nil
                                 attribute: NSLayoutAttributeWidth
                                multiplier: 0.0
                                  constant: _expandedHeight];
    [self.view addConstraint: _heightConstraint];

}

-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    self.inputView = (UIInputView *)Keyboard;
        [self updateViewConstraints];
}

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{

    NSLog(@"viewWillAppear");
}

-(void)viewWillLayoutSubviews{
    NSLog(@"viewWillLayoutSubviews");
    [self updateViewConstraints];
}

Any suggestion would be great!
Thanks in Advance.

A: The best way to avoid constraint conflicts in a keyboard extension would be:

*

*Create a keyboard background view which will contain all subviews
of a keyboard.

*Autolayout only the keyboard background view
with the root keyboard controller view to make the background view to have the same frame as the root view. Do not autolayout all other
subviews.

*Manually layout all the keyboard subviews in
viewDidLayoutSubviews of the root keyboard controller after invoking
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews].

In addition, by doing this, keyboard extension launching speed will be dramatically increased because of far less amount of auto-layout calculations.

Mexico is the U.S.'s third largest trading partner[1] and second largest export destination.[2] Trade representatives from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico said that they made progress in the second round of NAFTA renegotiations (September 1-5 in Mexico City),[3] with a third round scheduled for September 23-27 in Ottawa, Canada.[4] President Trump's August 22nd statement at a rally in Phoenix that the US would "probably end up terminating NAFTA at some point"[5] looms over this progress. Instead, the administration should acknowledge that withdrawing from NAFTA is untenable.

As the world continues to embrace cleaner and more efficient sources of energy over the next 25 years, natural gas stands to gain a large market share at the expense of less efficient and more pollutant coal and wood. The United States is currently the biggest winner from hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling that allow significantly increased production of shale gas. However, China, Argentina and Mexico are also potential gainers from these new technologies if they manage to overcome political and infrastructure challenges that have considerably slowed development of new gas fields.

The Northern Pacific Office Building is a three-story historic office building in Tacoma, Washington that served as the headquarters of the Northern Pacific Railway's Tacoma division. Built in 1888, the brick, stucco, stone and cast iron structure stands on a high bluff overlooking the Commencement Bay harbor and extensive railroad switching yards that fan out across the tide flats below at the mouth of the Puyallup River where it flows into Puget Sound. The flats are densely developed with heavy industry that has grown up around the railroad facilities and the Port of Tacoma. The site was originally a choice location across from the Tacoma City Hall (extant and listed in the National Register) and at the north end of Pacific Avenue, the main street through the city's central business district.

The building is unusual for an Italian Renaissance design. Triangular in plan to fit the street plan and the bluff. There is a four-story circular tower on the north, which widens in a series of curves and re-entrant angles to become a conventional four-story rectangular plan.  The rectangular section was demolished in 1975. The remaining structure is three stories in height.  A bracketed entablature continued around the tower, separating the three lower stories from the top floor and the lantern above.

The foundation is ashlar stone to the first floor. There is a substantial water table with brick walls, covered by stucco. A narrow belt course divides the second and third floors from the one below.  The belt rests on the capitals of pilasters that divide the wall into a series of panels.

The frieze atop the third floor continues from the tower section to the four-story rectangular section. The rectangular section was demolished in 1974.  The cornice, an elaborate belt course did not carry over from the tower section. The strip pilasters have a broad pediment on the second floor level. A cornice at the top of the tower conceals a gable roof. The four-story, rectangular section had a flat roof.  The tower is topped with a low conical roof and lantern. There are two street level entrances.  A formal entrance has a suspended canopy with double doors and a transom arch on pilasters.  A second entrance is further down the street.

In the early 1920s, the four-story section at the south end of the building was demolished and rebuilt for security reasons. It was demolished in 1974 to widen Pacific Avenue.  A blank brick and concrete wall remains with some of the roof structure exposed.

Interior
The building contained 53 offices and storerooms and 19 fireproof vaults. General management of the Northern Pacific had offices on the first and second floor.  These included; the Assistant General Manager, Assistant Superintendent of Transportation, Northern Pacific Coal Company, Tacoma Land Company, the Legal Department, Road Master, Superintendent of Bridges, Northern Pacific Express Company and the city ticket and freight offices. The third floor was used by the engineering department and a telegraph room. An employees cafeteria occupied the fourth floor in the tower.

Will Russia Cut Off Gas To Europe?
Wednesday 30th July 2014 |
Maria Gallucci, International Business Times
Russia could cut off Europe's natural gas supplies in retaliation for the package of U.S. and European sanctions adopted on Tuesday, according to Morgan Stanley analysts. That would send energy costs soaring and leave European countries scrambling to find alternatives in time for the winter, when they need gas the most.
"We think that Russia could block transit of gas through Ukraine to Europe, pending settlement by [Russian oil and gas company] Naftogaz of outstanding debt and might also allow a decline in oil exports, which could add a geopolitical risk premium to the oil price," analysts Jacob Nell and Alina Slyusarchuk wrote in a Tuesday research note obtained by International Business Times.
Whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will actually do that depends on if he takes a pragmatic or patriotic response to the international penalties, which aim to end Russia's support for separatists in Ukraine, they said.
"Putin now faces a stark choice between a pragmatic response – supporting de-escalation in Ukraine in return for neutrality, decentralization and the lifting of sanctions – or what we characterize as a 'patriotic' response," in which Putin focuses on support to the pro-Russian separatist movement in Ukraine," Nell and Slyusarchuk wrote. The latter move would "trigger a further tightening of sanctions and deepen the divide with the West."
Kurt Oswald, a Middle East partner at the global consultancy A.T. Kearney, said that Europe would suffer in the short term if Russia blocked gas exports. He noted that Russia's state-owned Gazprom exported 162 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe last year – about one-third of Europe's total gas consumption – and that replacing those supplies would be difficult and costly.
"There is a strong dependency of Europe on the Russian gas supply" he told IB Times by phone from Vienna last week. "Russia is still in a quite comfortable position, short and midterm."
Still, Oswald seemed less convinced than the Morgan Stanley analysts that Russia would choose this option. "Russia is still dependent on the export of its resources," he explained. "From that perspective, it's most likely they would not cut the gas supplies to Europe. But will Putin behave completely rationally? I'm not 100 percent sure." "I don't see Russia turning off the taps," Michael Geary, a global Europe fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, told IB Times on Tuesday. "Reducing those [gas revenues] would be counterproductive for them."


* 1783 – First of 7000 United Empire Loyalists reach Parrtown – (Saint John) NB.
On this day in 1783, the first United Empire Loyalists, known to American Patriots as Tories, arrive in Canada to take refuge under the British crown in Parrtown, Saint John, Nova Scotia (now New Brunswick), Canada. The town was located on the Bay of Fundy just north of the border with what is now the state of Maine.
Most of the refugees came from New York, which had been under royal control throughout most of the War for Independence. After the Treaty of Paris ended the War for Independence in February 1783, the British evacuated their New York Loyalists to remaining British territories, mainly in Canada. These families had been dispossessed of their land and belongings by the victorious Patriots because of their continued support of the British king and were able to regain some financial independence through lands granted to them by the British in western Quebec (now Ontario) and Nova Scotia. Their arrival in Canada permanently shifted the demographics of what had been French-speaking New France until 1763 into an English-speaking colony, and later nation, with the exception of a French-speaking and culturally French area in eastern Canada that is now Quebec.
In 1784, one year after their arrival, the new Loyalist population spurred the creation of New Brunswick in the previously unpopulated (by Europeans, at least) lands west of the Bay of Fundy in what had been Nova Scotia. In 1785, the Loyalists yet again made their mark on Canadian history when their combined settlements at Parrtown and Carleton of approximately 14,000 people became British North America's first incorporated city under the name City of Saint John.
Loyalist refugees in western Quebec received 200 acres apiece. The division between the Anglophile and Francophile sections was ultimately recognized by creating the English-dominant province of Ontario, west of Quebec, in 1867.
Aimee Semple McPherson, a nationally known evangelist, disappears from Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California. Police dispatched planes and ships in an effort to find her, but she was nowhere to be found. Authorities later discovered that radio announcer Kenneth Ormiston, a friend of McPherson, had also vanished.
McPherson was the Billy Graham of her time. In 1923, she opened Angelus Temple in Los Angeles, where she consistently amassed overflowing crowds. McPherson claimed to have faith-healing abilities and put on wonderfully entertaining shows for the public. Because of her religious nature, McPherson's relationship with Ormiston created something of a scandal in 1925, and their disappearance in 1926 made headlines across the country.
A month later, McPherson turned up in Agua Prieta, New Mexico, with a wild tale of being kidnapped, but reporters quickly uncovered information to prove that she had been with Ormiston the entire time. Although obstruction of justice charges were filed against her, they were later dropped, allegedly because McPherson came up with $30,000 to appease law enforcement officials.
McPherson attempted a comeback evangelism tour after the scandal had died down, but it flopped and she slowly faded from the public's memory. Even still, she remains the answer to a good trivia question: Who baptized Marilyn Monroe?

Mount St. Helens in Washington erupts, causing a massive avalanche and killing 57 people on this day in 1980. Ash from the volcanic eruption fell as far away as Minnesota.
Seismic activity at Mount St. Helens, which is 96 miles south of Seattle, began on March 16. A 4.2-magnitude tremor was recorded four days later and then, on March 23-24, there were 174 different recorded tremors. The first eruption occurred on March 27, when a 250-foot wide vent opened up on top of the mountain. Ash was blasted 10,000 feet in the air, some of which came down nearly 300 miles away in Spokane. The ash caused static electricity and lightning bolts.
Authorities issued a hazard watch for a 50-mile radius around the mountain. The National Guard set up roadblocks to prevent access to the area, but these were easily avoided by using the region's unguarded logging roads. Many residents of the area evacuated, but a substantial number refused. Harry Truman, 84—no relation to the former president—was one resident who refused to move and, after receiving a great deal of positive media coverage for his decision, became a national icon as well as, later, the subject of a local memorial.
Throughout April, scientists watched a bulge on the north side of Mount St. Helens grow larger and larger. Finally, on May 18 at 8:32 a.m., a sudden 5.1-magnitude earthquake and eruption rocked the mountain. The north side of the peak rippled and blasted out ash at 650 miles per hour. A cloud of ash, rocks, gas and glacial ice roared down the side of the mountain at 100 mph. Fourteen miles of the Toutle River was buried up to 150 feet deep in the debris. Magma, at 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit, flowed for miles.
The 24-megaton blast demolished a 230-square-mile area around the mountain. Geologist Dave Johnson was the closest to the eruption when it blew. He was on his radio that morning and was only able to say, Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it! before his truck was pushed over a ridge and he was killed.
In the Rajasthan Desert in the state of Pokhran, India successfully detonates its first nuclear weapon, a fission bomb similar in explosive power to the U.S. atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. The test fell on the traditional anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment, and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi received the message "Buddha has smiled" from the exuberant test-site scientists after the detonation. The test, which made India the world's sixth nuclear power, broke the nuclear monopoly of the five members of the U.N. Security Council–the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, China, and France.
India, which suffered continuing border disputes with China, refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968. Fearing a second war with China and a fourth war with Pakistan, India actively sought the development of a nuclear deterrent in the early 1970s. The successful detonation of its first bomb on May 18, 1974, set off an expanded arms race with Pakistan that saw no further nuclear tests but the development of lethal intermediate and long-range ballistic missiles by both countries. On May 11, 1998, India resumed nuclear testing, leading to international outrage and Pakistan's detonation of its first nuclear bomb later in the month.
On this day in 2001, the fledgling movie studio Dreamworks SKG, founded by Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, releases what will become its most successful film to date: the animated feature Shrek.
Based on William Steig's 1990 children's book, Shrek was vividly re-imagined by Dreamworks animators as a subversive twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast story. The studio had originally signed the comedian Chris Farley to provide the voice for the titular green ogre, and his death in December 1997 temporarily set the project back, as the character of Shrek had been tailored to his personality and voice. After Mike Myers signed on, he lent his own spin to the character, including a thick Scottish accent with the flavor of Myers' native Canada.
The film turned many of the sentimental clichés of fairy tales on their heads, with sympathetic portrayals of traditionally villainous figures such as ogres and dragons. In the world of Shrek, Prince Charming is a bumbling fool, while the ogre emerges as the romantic hero. Alongside Myers, Eddie Murphy was allowed to improvise in his role as the Donkey, Cameron Diaz voiced Princess Fiona and John Lithgow was the scheming Lord Farquaad. In an unusual marketing strategy for an animated film, the big-name cast members were promoted as the stars of the film, as opposed to the animated characters themselves.
Dreamworks entered Shrek in the Cannes Film Festival, where it was the first animated entry to compete there since 1974. It won no prizes but began generating great word-of-mouth. Released in May 2001 to rave reviews, the film made $42 million in its opening weekend–the biggest DreamWorks opening ever, topping Ridley Scott's blockbuster historical epic Gladiator. Shrek's success helped establish Dreamworks as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, especially in the field of animation, where it emerged as a viable rival to Walt Disney Pictures. At the next year's Academy Awards, Shrek beat out Disney's Monsters, Inc. to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature (the first-ever Oscar given in that category); it was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay.
When the American Film Institute released its lists of the 10 best films in 10 different genres in 2008, Shrek came in at No. 8 and was the only non-Disney film to make the list. Myers, Murphy, and Diaz would reprise their roles in two successful sequels, released in 2004 and 2007. In December 2008, a Shrek musical opened on Broadway.

I flew around Mt St Helens just after it had gone up!! The crater was still smoking and there were 26 miles of flattened trees below us like matchsticks!
Fascinating stories. When I was in the hospital giving birth in February 1981,the big news was how many births had occurred at the same time in areas close to Mount St. Helens. Seems there was not much to do after the volcano exploded. 🙂 My last visit to the Eric Carle Museum had the original art of William Steig's Shrek. I had no idea it was first a book!
I had never heard that McPherson story before. Crazy!
I remember when Mount St. Helens erupted. One of my brothers lives in Spokane, which is over 400 miles from the volcano. His area was covered in several inches of ash. The power of volcanoes is mind-boggling to grasp. Who among us is not horrified watching the eruption of the Kilauea volcano? Or unnerved by new activity in the Yellowstone Caldera? Thank you, John, for another great list.
Yes , volcanoes are terrifying – no argument there. I hope the Kilauea volcano goes dormant soon. The damage is already horrific. Thanks, John.

Skokie again becomes a dirty word
By Michael J. Jordan December 5, 2000 10:00 am
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (JTA) – For many American Jews, the word "Skokie" stirs up memories of the 1978 First Amendment case that upheld a neo-Nazi group's right to hold a rally in that Illinois community, home to numerous Holocaust survivors.
The episode even spawned a movie, starring Danny Kaye.
So it may be precisely to capitalize on Skokie's symbolism that the Ku Klux Klan plans to demonstrate Dec. 16, on Shabbat, in the Chicago suburb some of them describe as "Jewtown."
The KKK event, announced by the Mercer, Wis., chapter, will be held on the steps of the Cook County Courthouse.
As the courthouse is county property, a local Skokie permit is not necessary. Thirty to 40 Klansmen and other white supremacists from the region are expected to attend.
Outraged, Chicago Jewry is reacting.
"History has shown us that evil and hateful words, if unchecked, all too often lead to evil deeds and hate crimes," said Richard Hirschhaut, Midwest regional director for the Anti-Defamation League.
"We have to raise our voices against those who would divide our community and attempt to sow fear," Hirschhaut said. "Even the most pathetic sociopath who spews a message of bigotry and hate ought not be dismissed as unimportant, lest their message reach and potentially influence others."
The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago and local Skokie Jews have thrown their support behind a "Peace and Harmony" rally that the Skokie Commission on Human Relations has scheduled for the following day.
Hirschhaut said he succeeded in dissuading the Evanston Ecumenical Action Council, comprised mostly of Christian denominations, from confronting the Klan. Instead, the council agreed to join the Sunday rally.
The ADL also is endorsing another reprise of "Operation Lemonade," a four-year-old project that, like a walk-a-thon, cleverly raises money based on each minute a hate group demonstrates and donates it to organizations that work toward neutralizing such groups.
There are only 2,000 to 2,500 card-carrying KKK members in the entire United States, said Hirschhaut, who has a 1-inch-thick file on the Mercer, Wis., chapter leader, Michael McQueeney.
Skokie – now home to large communities of Asians, Latinos and blacks – is still scarred by a shooting spree in the region 17 months ago. A follower of the white-supremacist World Church of the Creator gunned down the African American basketball coach of Northwestern University and a South Korean college student, and injured nine Orthodox Jews on their way to synagogue.
The coach, Ricky Byrdsong, and two of the Jewish victims were Skokie residents.
Holding a post-KKK counter-rally is an "approach that makes a lot of sense to us," said Michael Kotzin, executive director of the Jewish federation.
"The circulation of hate, no matter how small and marginal, is a legitimate concern and there's going to be a reaction from the Jewish community – and from the friends of the Jewish community."
But not all Jews are satisfied with peaceful responses.
The Jewish Defense League, founded by the late militant Rabbi Meir Kahane, says it intends to block the rally, "peacefully if possible, but forcibly if we must," the group's local leader told the Chicago Sun-Times.
On its Web site, the JDL vows to "uphold the dignity and honor of our silent and undefended six million dead," and calls on "all Jews, regardless of there [sic] personal politics, to put aside all of their differences, which are dwarfed by this outrage, and act together to prevent this event from occurring."
"We will not respect any law that would allow such a flagrant and boorish abuse of our cherished freedoms," the group declares.
Such a declaration concerns Hirschhaut, Kotzin and Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen, who say it will surely attract even more media, generating exactly the sort of publicity the KKK is seeking.
"We are asking Skokians and our friends to stay away from the courthouse and show the Klan our hatred for their ideas by ignoring them and instead joining us at the 'Peace and Harmony' rally on Sunday," Van Dusen was quoted as saying in the Sun-Times.

Q: How to add javascript for dropdown in materialize CSS? I'm implementing materialize CSS in my AngularJS website which has a structure like this:
a .html view which is connected to a .js controller which communicates to the database using a .js service.
I copied this sample dropdown code from materialize website:

Drop Me!

one

two

three

But this dropdown is not working in my website.
It also has a javascript code attached which I cant figure out where to place.
I tried placing in my .js controller but still nothing.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Here are my .html and .js implementations:
manage_projects.html
{{prj.name}}

   {{prj.skills.length}} skill(s)

     {{skl.name}}

ManageProjectsController.js
(function () {
'use strict';

angular.module('app')
.controller("ManageProjectsController", ['$scope', '$rootScope', '$location', 'UserService', 'ManageProjectService', function ($scope, $rootScope,$location, UserService, ManageProjectService) {

        if(UserService.GetCurrentUser().role !== 'Executive'){
         $location.path('/dashboard');
        }

        $scope.projects = "";

        $('.dropdown-button').dropdown();

        ManageProjectService.GetAllProjects().then(function(res){
            $scope.projects = res.data.projects;
        });

  }]);
})();
