shall receive greater power and eternal glory from God. By disdaining to receive any dominion under him, he shall shortly reign over him, be appointed as one of his judges, and shall see him trodden under his feet.
XXX. When the mind is prepared against these three sources of temptation, the world, the flesh, and the Devil, it is instructed in the way of righteous
But let no man think himself safe because he hath escaped one or two of them. He that hath brought the flesh into subjection, may be ensnared by covetousness and vain glory: and he that hath overcome the world and the flesh, may fall into spiritual pride and the condemnation of the Devil*. To every particular caution, this general one must be added Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall. For as the Devil, after his defeat, departed from Christ only for a season, with full purpose to make a farther attempt upon him in his sufferings: so is the follower of Christ to expect trials and dangers from the same quarter, till he hath given up the ghost, and is entered into that rest, where the wicked cease from troubling. So critical is his condition, so subtle, vis gilant, and persevering is his adversary, that he ca.not be secure, till he is out of the reach of temptation. Whence it is rightly said"Be thou faith- , " ful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of
" life t."
XXXI. On a review of this subject, these are the principal matters which occur to us. Christ hath been tempted for our sakes; and we must follow him to glory through the way of temptation. Our baptism prepares us for the trials and dangers of a wilderness. The Israelites were not brought to Canaan, without being proved by hunger and thirst, by the allurements of idolatry, by the spiritual gainsayings of Corah, by the power of formidable enemies, and by an evil report of the spies concerning that country to which they were going. We have their example to give us warning, and the example of our master to give us encouragement. Both are necessary: the one to save us from carelessness, and the other from despair. Neither the love of pleasure, nor the fear of danger, should provoke us to think scorn of that pleasant land which lieth before us; where temporary tribulation shall terminate in perpetual enjoyment. If we are but wise enough to consider the issue of things, and compare their ends with their beginnings, we shall have a short rule of prudence, which by the grace of God will direct us safely through all the perils of this life, and shield us against all the assaults of the Devil. Sin betrays men, as Jael betrayed Sisera. She meets him, and entertains him friendly; she invites him, gives him drink, and lays him to sleep: but in the midst of his security, she strikes him through the brain, and fastens him to the earth. Every temptation begins with milk, but ends with an instrument of death: allurement comes first, and vengeance followeth after. But God observes a contrary course; placing the evening before the morning in a moral sense, as at the natural creation. The ordinary custom is, to give good wine at the first, and when men have well drunk and have lost their judgment, then that which is worse : but Christ, as at the marriage in Cana, reserveth that which is best to come last in order. The Devil begins in a high strain of encouragement-Ye shall be as Gods—but, in the event, brings us to a level with the beasts that perish.
1 Tim. iii. 6.
f Rev. ii. 10.
Religion, on the other hand, saith—mortify, and ye shall live—take a yoke, and ye shall find rest—be content with obscurity, and ye shall shine as the Sun in the kingdom of your Father. Therefore, Blessed is the man, who endureth Temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of life.
XXXII. A general remark may be made on this subject, which may serve to rectify a specious error adopted of late years by many persons; who pay small regard to the spirit of christianity, as thinking it our chief duty to avoid offences against society. A good life, they pretend, is the best orthodoxy, and such as will recommend us to God better than modes of faith and devotion : and by a good life, they mean a course of moral justice betwixt man and man. But whatever value the Scripture may have ascribed to good works, it would contradict its own design, and oppose common sense, if it were to prefer them in an independent state: for they cannot exist but in a state of relation. Principle is the root of practice; and if we would make the fruit good, we must make the tree good. But to talk of practice independent of principle, is to expect grapes from a tree which hath no root.
The man, who can believe that God is either regardless of his condition in life, or envious of his liberty and happiness, will provide for any of these by evading human laws, and transgressing the divine precepts, as often as they stand in the way of his pleasure'or interest. He who worships Satan in his heart for the sake of worldly advancement, will practice lying, robbery, treason, murders, and all other evil arts which may conduce to the transferring of power and property from other hands to his own. What fightings and perjuries have arisen from a lust of power! What persecution and cruelty hath been practised by idolaters against the servants of the true God! Spiritual pride and self-elevation amongst Christians will be followed by the same fatal effects. Let a man think himself a saint of an higher class, and separate himself with a pharisaical spirit, and then he will assume a right to bind kings in chains, and nobles with links of iron: he will snatch property from the hands of those, who in his opinion are less worthy of it than himself,, and will attempt to do God serrice by oppressing and destroying those who are displeased with his innovations.
When these things are considered, it will seem neither strange nor improper, that no one of the sins to which Christ was tempted by the Devil, were sins against society. We hear nothing about murder, adultery, theft, false witness, or any other sin against our neighbour; the temptation being conversant about such sins only as pass between God and a man's own heart. The first of them is a want of faith in God, as the preserver of men; the second is spiritual pride; the third idolatry. How few are there now, who make a proper account of them! A man may distrust the providence of God, despise his church, confound Jupiter with Jehovah, sell his conscience in a reputable way to the Devil; and yet find those who shall think him a very rational, decent, good sort of a Christian. When the Serpent explained to Eve the grounds of the divine prohibition, he said, God doth knowo, &c, and we may say on the other hand, with all that truth which his explanation wanted, "The " Devil doth know, that in the day when he can per" suade us to commit these sins we shall make no
scruple about the rest:" for these are mother-sins, big with the whole race of offences against civil so
ciety. By these therefore all the purposes of his temptations are more cheaply and effectually answered. He succeeds better by sapping the foundation of morality, than by making a partial breach in the walls : and many who are armed against the open assaults of gross wickedness, may be ruined by that which is more refined, and of which they do not as yet foresee the natural consequences: but, according to the proverb of the ancients, wickedness proceedeth from the wicked*; wickedness of the manners from the wickedness of the mind; so that if the enemy can debauch the mind, his temptation is accomplished; because such a mind will never fail to corrupt the
inanners.
* i Sam. xxiv. 13.


I work in consulting. If you're a consultant at a certain type of company, agency, organization, consultancy, whatever, this can sometimes mean travelling a lot.
Many business travelers 'in the know' have heard the old joke that if you want to stay at any type of hotel anywhere in the world and get a great rate, all you have to do is say that you work for IBM.
The point is that my line of business requires travel, and sometimes that is a lot of the time, like say almost all of last year. Inevitable comparisons to George Clooney's character in Up in the Air were made (ironically I started to read that book, then left it on a plane in a seatback pocket), requests about favours involving duty free, and of course many observations and gently probing questions about frequent flier miles (FYI I've got more than most people, but a lot less than the entrepreneur I sat next to one time, who claimed to have close to 3 million).
The point is that, as I said, I spent quite a bit of time travelling for work last year. Apparently the story with frequent fliers miles is that it's best just to pick one airline and stick with it – and this also worked out well as most companies, including my employer, have preferred airlines and so you often don't have much of a choice in the matter.
In my case this means flying Delta.
So I happened to notice in one of my many visits to Delta's website that they have data on all of their aircraft in a certain site section. I thought this would be an interesting data set on which to do some analysis, as it has both quantitative and qualitative information and is relatively complex. What can we say about the different aircraft in Delta's fleet, coming at it with 'fresh eyes'? Which planes are similar? Which are dissimilar?
The data set comprises 33 variables on 44 aircraft taken from Delta.com, including both quantitative measures on attributes like cruising speed, accommodation and range in miles, as well as categorical data on, say, whether a particular aircraft has Wi-Fi or video. These binary categorical variables were transformed into quantitative variables by assigning them values of either 1 or 0, for yes or no respectively.
As this a data set of many variables (33) I thought this would be an interesting opportunity to practice using a dimensionality reduction method to make the information easier to visualize and analyze.
First let's just look at the intermediary quantitative variables related to the aircraft physical characteristics: cruising speed, total accommodation, and other quantities like length and wingspan. These variables are about in the middle of the data frame, so we can visualize all of them at once using a scatterplot matrix, which is the default for R's output if plot() is called on a dataframe.
We can see that there are pretty strong positive correlations between all these variables, as all of them are related to the aircraft's overall size. Remarkably there is an almost perfectly linear relationship between wingspan and tail height, which perhaps is related to some principle of aeronautical engineering of which I am unaware.
The exception here is the variable right in the middle which is the number of engines. There is one lone outlier [Boeing 747-400 (74S)] which has four, while all the other aircraft have two. In this way the engines variable is really more like a categorical variable, but we shall as the analysis progresses that this is not really important, as there are other variables which more strongly discern the aircraft from one another than this.
How do we easier visualize a high-dimensional data set like this one? By using a dimensionality reduction technique like principal components analysis.
Taking that approach we can see that the first principal component has a standard deviation of around 2200 and accounts for over 99.8% of the variance in the data. Looking at the first column of loadings, we see that the first principle component is just the range in miles.
# First component dominates greatly. What are the loadings?
We correct for this by scaling the data using the scale() function. We can then verify that the variances across the different variables are equal so that when we apply principal components one variable does not dominate.
Here we are fortunate in that these two are the same, so we will retain the first four principal components. We put these into new data frame and plot.
So what were are looking at here are twelve 2-D projections of data which are in a 4-D space. You can see there's a clear outlier in all the dimensions, as well as some bunching together in the different projections.
Normally, I am a staunch opponent of 3D visualization, as I've spoken strongly about previously. The one exception to this rule is when the visualization is interactive, which allows the user to explore the space and not lose meaning due to three dimensions being collapsed into a 2D image. Plus, in this particular case, it's a good excuse to use the very cool, very awesome rgl package.
Click on the images to view the interactive 3D versions (requires a modern browser). You can better see in the 3D projections that the data are confined mainly to the one plane one the left (components 1-3), with the exception of the outlier, and that there is also bunching in the other dimensions (components 1,3,4 on right).
So, now that we've simplified the complex data set into a lower dimensional space we can visualize and work with, how do we find patterns in the data, in our case, the aircraft which are most similar? We can use a simple unsupervised machine learning technique like clustering.
Here because I'm not a data scientist extraordinaire, I'll stick to the simplest technique and do a simple k-means – this is pretty straightforward to do in R.
However, it should be noted that it is very important to set the nstart parameter and iter.max parameter (I've found 25 and 1000, respectively to be okay values to use), which the example in Quick-R fails to do, otherwise you can get very different results each time you run the algorithm, as below.
So here we can see that the "elbow" in the scree plot is at k=4, so we apply the k-means clustering function with k = 4 and plot.
Ahhh, that's the way fly (some day, some day…). This is apparently the plane professional sports teams and the American military often charter to fly – this article in the Sydney Morning Herald has more details.
The second cluster contains four aircraft – the two CRJ 100/200's and the Embraer E120 and ERJ-145. These are the smallest passenger aircraft, with the smallest accommodations – 28 for the E120 and 50 for the remaining craft. As such, there is only economy seating in these planes which is what distinguishes them from the remainder of the fleet. The E120 also has the distinction of being the only plane in the fleet with turboprops. Photos below.
Top: CRJ100/200. Bottom left: Embraer E120. Bottom right: Embraer ERJ-145.
The other two clusters comprise the remainder of the fleet, the planes with which most commercial air travellers are familiar – your Boeing 7-whatever-7's and other Airbus and McDonnell-Douglas planes.
These are split into two clusters, which seem to again divide the planes approximately by size (both physical and accommodation), though there is crossover in the Boeing craft.
Looking at the raw data, the difference I can ascertain between the largest two clusters is that all the aircraft in the one have first class seating, whereas all the planes in the other have business class instead [the one exception being the Boeing 767-300 (76U)].
This was a little analysis which for me not only allowed me to explore my interest in commercial aircraft, but was also educational about finer points of what to look out for when using more advanced data science techniques like principal components, clustering and advanced visualization.
All in all, the techniques did a pretty admirable job in separating out the different type of aircraft into distinct categories. However I believe the way I structured the data may have biased it towards categorizing the aircraft by seating class, as that quality was replicated in the data set compared to other variables, being represented both in quantitative variables (seat pitch & width, number of seat in class) and categorical (class presence). So really the different seating classes where represented in triplicate within the data set compared to other variables, which is why the methods separated the aircraft in this way.
If I did this again, I would structure the data differently and see what relationships such analysis could draw out using only select parts of the data (e.g. aircraft measurements only). The interesting lesson here is that it when using techniques like dimensionality reduction and clustering it is not only important to be mindful of applying them correctly, but also what variables are in your data set and how they are represented.
For now I'll just keep on flying, collecting the miles, and counting down the days until I finally get that seat in first class.
How interesting! The aviation industry is so vast, and there are so many different areas you could analyze. I really enjoyed reading your findings. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thank you! And you are, of course, most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the post.
I too am a consultant and so often the customer wants to know 'what's going on' in their data, such that the minute I map data from a space they get to a some derived space sends them into conniptions. So I'd be interested in knowing how to make the principal components explainable. Often for the case of making a good prediction, no one cares. But in trying to get the customer to sign off on my work, they do care.
Glad you enjoyed it, Tim. Happy to help.
My understanding of PCA is that it accounts for collinearity by picking a combinations of variables for each principal component such that the maximum amount of variance in the data is explained by them and they are orthogonal. In fact, if you read the definition of PCA, you'll see that dealing with correlated and collinear variables is really much of the motivation behind the method. There's also some discussion on your concerns here, but let me know if you find any more documentation or a reference that suggests otherwise.
I will freely admit that there are flaws in my analysis (which others have pointed out). As PCA picks components that explain the maximum amount of variability, it should have been no surprise that the seat class variables became the determining factor. Using dummy variables is appropriate for methods like linear regression but not for PCA, as the dummy variables will always take maximum values (0 or 1) whereas the scaled numerical variables will lie in the range, a fact which I did not consider at the time but which other readers have since pointed out.


It's been nearly two years since Apple updated the standard iMac. If you've been impatiently tapping your watch, hoping for an upgrade, it's time to unleash your happy dance. What you get is effectively a spec-bump, with the new models keeping their now familiar form factors and industry-leading 4K and 5K displays. But Apple's revamped iMacs (from £1249) should nonetheless delight users who demand raw power, through up to 2.4x performance boosts on the 27in model, and up to a 60 per cent speed bump on the 21.5in. Although if you want a truly top-of-the-line iMac, prepare for your wallet to take a punch to the face – the max spec on the 27in (5K display; 8-core i9; 64GB RAM; Radeon Pro Vega 48; 2TB SSD) comes in at a whopping £4904. You'd think they'd call it an even £4900, really.

Q: How to fill array or arraylist sequentially without loop? I'm surprised I haven't found an answer to this anywhere. I want to fill an int array of 100 with 1..100. Fill is a good method but it doesn't increment the value each turn. Its obvious how to do it with a loop but I want to avoid that due to my maximum value being extremely high. Is there any api method which can do this for me?

A: *

*There is no method in the standard library that will do this.

*Even if there was, it would need to use a loop under the hood.

*I don't see the significance of "my maximum value being extremely high".  That should make no difference to the decision to use a loop ... or not.

*Don't use recursion.  Java does not implement tail call optimization so 1) it will be slower than using a loop and 2) you risk getting StackOverflowError if the array or list is large.  (Yes, I know it is not large in the question as asked ...)

A: Ooooh, use recursion!
void to100(int[] array, int i, int v) {
    if( i < array.length ) {
        array[i] = v;
        to100( i+1, v+1 );
    }
}

int[] array = new int[100];

too100( array, 0, 1 );

enjoy.

March 6 - Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has appointed a new regional operations manager for Asia Pacific.
Brendon Hawley (pictured below) will be based in Jakarta, Indonesia and will be responsible for all operations throughout Indonesia reporting to GM, Cato Nordskog.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Hawley said: "I am very much looking forward to becoming part of theWilhelmsen Ships Service team within Asia Pacific and am excited about the challenges ahead. The region is one of growth and expansion and I am starting my role at a key time as we roll out new and improved work practices and expand our presence with the opening of additional branch offices in Indonesia."
Born in Durban, South Africa and educated in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa, Hawley began his seafaring career in 1971 with UK-based shipowner T & J Harrison Lines, before joining Safmarine Corp & Unicorn Linesduring which period he obtained his Masters Licence, serving on a range of vessel types, before becoming a master on general cargo ships.
After coming ashore in 1986, he took up a position as P&I Surveyor in the Port of Richards Bay and went on to become a director of P&I Associates (South Africa). In 1993, Hawley joined Gearbulk Shipping South Africa where he stayed for 18 years in various positions including a secondment to Quebec City, Jakarta & Port Sudan. Most recently, Hawley was head of operations Asia.


At first glance, it's the incredible commercial success of Whitesnake's self-titled album from 1987 that sticks out. The album has sold close to 10 million copies in the U.S., partially driven by the chart-topping success of "Here I Go Again," which had been rescued from its initial placement on 1982's Saints & Sinners LP and given a new coat of paint.
The hit power ballad "Is This Love" came close to matching that success, stopping at No. 2 on the chart. Two other singles, "Still of the Night" and "Give Me All Your Love," helped to ensure that the British hard rock band was a constant presence on the radio and on MTV.
In hindsight, it's remarkable Coverdale was able to complete the album and have it turn out to be as successful as it was. A new 30th-anniversary box set arrives on Oct. 6 and gives fans the chance to check out a bunch of previously unreleased material from the era. The four-CD/one-DVD collection includes a remastered version of the original album that restores tracks that were released on overseas copies. As you dig further into the set, the real gems emerge, including a full disc of demos and rehearsals that reveals the collaborative chemistry between Coverdale and Sykes.
There are also discs that document the 1987-88 tour with guitarists Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge, and collect the radio and single mixes along with the 1987 Versions Japanese EP. A DVD gathers the videos, a new documentary and more.
It's a collection that should keep fans busy, Coverdale tells Ultimate Classic Rock in the first part of a two-part interview.
Your Twitter account is always quite entertaining. How much time would you say you spend tweeting? Do you have those pictures that you tweet out on your computer or do you dig that stuff out?
It's interesting. I have a network of friends that we've always had -- and some very well-known people. We share funnies and s--- that we think is amusing. And if it isn't too blue or whatever, I'll use it for Twitter. When I started getting involved with social media, it would take significantly more time for me when I had the Whitesnake.com BBS, the bulletin board. Because that would be more like me doing interviews with people. It was fascinating, because the fans asked a lot of questions that most journalists don't f---ing bother with. A lot of journos don't do the research -- it's just another gig to them. To me, I try to make each interview more of a conversation, but interesting and not the same. But I can't really give too many alternate answers if the questions are all the f---ing same.
[Interacting on the bulletin board] took an awful lot of my time. But when Twitter started, it's just nothing. I just take my phone out. My sole purpose of being involved in social media is information, entertainment and interaction. If the internet stopped tomorrow, it wouldn't affect my life at all. It's just like now, we have millions of people who act as A&R men and women for us.
Yeah, and one of the things is that I'll tweet stuff about my life thoughts, philosophies or whatever, the benefits of getting up there now and still being actively involved. This year we're involved in at least eight f---ing projects. It's pretty whack. I think it's the most I've ever been involved with. And this has been a monster, the 30th anniversary. But with Twitter, it doesn't take any time at all, and I do have a s----load of pics from my history. Either people will tweet them and I'll go, "F---, I haven't seen that one before!" There's a ton of [Deep] Purple stuff I've never seen. We only used a couple of photographers on the inside track [back then], but I've never really been a nostalgia guy, so I never really kept s---. Once we started getting involved with social media, the hugely glaring necessity is content! How do you make it interesting? So I think we've started off doing a rather unique thing.
Looking at the story of this album, it seems like you really had an adventure just making it. Put to the side for a second how successful this album ends up being, there was probably a moment when you got finished making the album, where you're just glad that you ended up with a finished record.
I thought I was done. I thought it was over. I thought it was "Stick a fork in me, I'm done." I was very substantially in debt due to not working for two or three years, and there had been terrible advantages taken while I was recovering from [sinus] surgery and unable really to function in a professional environment. And people who I trusted, I found out I couldn't trust. So the album became extraordinarily expensive -- the most expensive Whitesnake album ever. And it was minimal to do with me. [Laughs] So that was the primary reason -- for me, in a relationship, if you can't trust your partner or partners -- it's time to move on. I had flown home from a very sad Christmas holiday with my daughter in Munich and she was kind of punishing me, understandably, because I'd left her mom. So I flew home from Munich to L.A., pretty depressed about it and very sad.
But amazingly, it was filtering out to [people] like Doc McGhee and other people would be calling me going, "F---, I just heard your album, it's amazing." So it was other people's responses and reactions that actually got me to listen to it with fresh ears. I was ready to [say] "F--- it, I'm done." And then I started hearing it. I started to work with Marty Callner on preparing for the videos and stuff and suddenly the f---ing world just explodes. I remember thinking a lot of my youth was black and white, you know, monochrome in post-war England. Everything seemed to be black and white, and then the Beatles came along and everything looked like f---ing rainbow colors! Well, I had my own little experience like that. It was astonishing. I was almost three million dollars in debt and in three months, I was in credit. That's how extraordinary it was.
Well, when you're selling 300,000 to 400,000 records before noon on consecutive days -- I think we may still have the Warner Bros. record for most records sold between 10AM and noon, which was like 390,000 albums -- it was breathtaking. We had radio, they adored the Slide It In album. They'd helped push it to like, 800,000 copies with minimal effort on my part. So radio was waiting for it, but the huge difference was MTV.
Oh, I bet. Those videos were something else.
Yeah, well, you know, it had nothing to do with the f---ing music! [Laughs] But they were good eye candy and it was actually fun to watch them over again while we were doing the remastering. I wish we'd had more outtakes, but the director became ... I don't know why he's so bitter -- he got paid very well and got a huge name out of it. But a lot of people from that time just wouldn't cooperate, sadly. We could have actually made it an even bigger project than we did. But I'm very happy with what we came out with. One of the things specifically is that you can hear as [John] Sykes and I are introducing these brand new songs to each other on the Evolutions CD.
Yeah, to me too! It's the most played f---ing thing from that project when I'm working out or whatever. And there was a couple more songs, but John's people didn't get back to us in time before we had to pull the plug on the deadline. But it started off, like, "Is This Love" was for Tina Turner originally. EMI had asked me, and then David Geffen said, "You're f---in' keeping it!" And thankfully so! Arrogantly, I scream at the beginning of it, "This is a chorus that will take over the world" -- and it f---ing did! I am at least a man of my word. But the bonuses, it took me back to, at that time, John and I were really good. You can hear the creativity, the juice, the electricity between us, the attitude, my singing.
It's only cassette copies that we ran through restoration apps forever to get as good quality as possible for the fans, but you can hear the potential of John Sykes and David Coverdale, when there was no one else around us. It's when we took everything to Los Angeles, and then L.A. started f---ing around with us, for whatever reason, things started to unravel somewhat. But it was really when I was recovering from surgery that suddenly I find out, I'm getting invoices, my accountant is getting invoices from Toronto, from f---ing London, it's like, who the f--- is doing this? Who is signing off? So I just went, "Stop, right now. Pull the plug." We ended up finishing off the album with Keith Olsen. So it was the most fractured record I'd done and still is today. It's still a f---ing handsome seller, to be perfectly honest with you, in a changed industry. But my God, talk about a game changer, it was huge.
You mentioned Keith Olsen, and at some point early in the sessions prior to that, you worked on vocals with Ron Nevison.
But Ron and I didn't connect. I went somewhere else, too -- I've got this image of this Beverly Hills socialite I was seeing at the time. I was singing "Is This Love," and I was going, "F---ing hell, this sounds like s---!" [Laughs] And it did! I can't remember who that was, though. But yeah, it didn't last with Ron. He did great with other people, just not with me.

Big data applications can provide extremely valuable insights, but extracting that value often demands high overhead – including significant deployment, tuning, and operational effort – diverse systems, and programming models. As a result, work other than the actual programming and data analysis dominates the time needed to build and maintain a big data application. The industry has come to accept these pains and inefficiencies as an unavoidable cost of doing business. We believe you deserve better.

Louisiana Tech freshman guard Kiara Young was suspended indefinitely as she faces shoplifting charges.
Sports information director Malcolm Butler confirmed Tuesday that Young was charged with shoplifting during the team's visit to Hawaii on Sunday. Specific details about the alleged theft were not released and team officials said they wouldn't comment further until an investigation was complete.
Young scored six points and had three rebounds in 11 minutes as La. Tech beat Hawaii 89-71.
Is this the same Kiara Young that spent some time at Lucey Laney High School, Augusta GA?


Best Simple Cookbooks for a Single Cook?
Q: My boyfriend just got a job in DC and is relocating next month. I hope to find a new job out there (we live in Kansas currently) and relocate soon after him myself. Until then, we're on the hunt for a simple cookbook he can use. He's not incompetent in the kitchen but since I love to cook and bake so much he hasn't really had the chance to cook for himself and learn.
Any suggestions for simple, (pseudo) bachelor-friendly cookbooks or recipes?

Ashville's problem-solving stars Jacob Wells and James Shidle
Sums add up for Ashville pupils tackling primary maths challenge "bonus round"
Education/Harrogate
Two Ashville Junior School mathematicians will be pitting their wits against students from around the UK in the "bonus round" of a national maths competition.
The pair, Year 5 pupils James Shidle and Jacob Wells, have secured their places in this special heat of the Primary Maths Challenge, after finishing in the top two per cent in the first round.
And, in the new challenge being held on Wednesday, February 1, James and Jacob will be competing on a world-wide level, as many overseas schools will also be taking part.
The Primary Mathematics Challenge is a fun and exciting mathematical competition aimed at pupils in Years 5 and 6 in England and Wales, P6 and P7 in Scotland, and Years 6 and 7 in Northern Ireland.
The PMC is designed to encourage enthusiasm, boost confidence in mathematics and show the different ways questions can be asked. Problem solving is at the heart of each competition.
Simon Bailey, Ashville Junior School Headteacher, said: We are immensely pleased and proud that James and Jacob have been invited to enter Primary Maths Challenge bonus round.
This round will be particularly exciting as the pair will be up against children not only from the United Kingdom, but from across the globe.
Both of the boys should be incredibly proud of getting to this stage. However they are keen to do even better. James and Jacob are now busy preparing for the challenging 'bonus round' .
Their work ethic is superb and they are both extremely talented, however what is most satisfying is to see how much fun they have had along the way.

This Girl Is on Fire: Teresita Fernández
Havana-based curator Elvia Rosa Castro reflects on the artist's work and her current show in Manhattan

Last month, Teresita Fernández: Fire (America) opened at the Lehmann Maupin gallery space on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Havana-based curator and critic Elvia Rosa Castro considers the exhibition, its impact, and its place in Fernández's creative trajectory.
In Spring 2014, MASS MoCA opened its doors to a solo show of Teresita Fernández' As Above, So Below, a major exhibition that included three enormous installations and "drawings." There, in an abandoned New England factory converted into an outstanding and inviting art museum, Teresita Fernández's show was on view through Spring of 2015, surrounded by the heavyweights of contemporary art.
Readers may recall, in particular, the installation Black Sun, because its scale and beauty prompted extensive coverage in art journals and social media forums. But this exhibition was decidedly much more: each work brought its own unique notion to a very contemporary concept of landscape that, paradoxically, came from a profund respect for the traditional and ancestral—a sophicated landscape arising from organic elements.

Following my tour of MASS MoCA, I began to read The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima. I was trying to find something that would offer cerain keys to this sacred material, given that gold occupies a central place in Teresita's work. Her meticulousness and precision is such that—given the prospect of encountering a natural, organic substance removed from any false connotation, and through years of study with Japanese families that practice alchemy—she succeeded in producing a golden material to use in her works.

In Mishima's novel, Mizoguchi, a tormented youth, torches the temple while coming to realize that its beauty, which had obsessed him, was illusory. I confess that I read the enire novel through the lens of Teresita's work—scrutinizing, taking notes, underlining. And even thougn I enountered certain connections and subtleties, they were not sufficient. I became frustrated in my determination.
After MASS MoCA, Madison Square Park in New York City was the locale for another artistic intervention. The site-specific installation Fata Morgana, which opened in June 2015, demonstrated once again how Teresita Fernández dominates a space. In this public space, she wrapped passersby in a play of mirrored illusion, "as above so below," in which nature and industrial forms seemed to levitate and melt into a piece that altered the spectator's usual perceptions.

Once again the artist, now based in New York, demonstrated why the MacArthur Fellowshipshe received in 2005 was so well deserved. I dream of one day seeing Fata Morganainstalled in the Parque de Chapultepec in Mexico City or in Havana's Prado.
Teresita Fernández, Burned Landscape, 2017
At present, in the delirum of 2017, Fernández has returned to exhibit in the New York gallery Lehmann Maupin, in its Lower East Side space. Fire (America) is a solo show that springs from a previous exhibition, Small American Fires (Anthony Meier Fine Arts, 2016). Fire (America) is comprised of two installation pieces. Burned Landscape (America)features a series of small expressionist and abstract "drawings," made from stains or traces on burnt paper. These works evoke the quality of wood, and at the same time result in refined visual deconstructions of Japanese landscape works.
Detail of Teresita Fernández, Burned Landscape, 2017
The other work is an immense installation whose compositional center is Fire (America) 5, a large panel made up of tiny pieces of glazed ceramic, assembled with millimetric precision, representing a great blaze emerging from the darkness. From this, Charred Landscape (America), a thin horizontal line of graphite, goes forth (or returns) to encircle the central space of the gallery. In it, we perceive a devastated, charred terrain.
Teresita Fernández, Fire (America) 5, 2016, installed with Charred Landscape (America), 2017
Thus charcoal is present in its crude mineral state—different from prior installations and paintings, in which this mineral is broken down into small uniform pieces more like the graphite we are familiar with, or melted into her paintings to form areas of volume, with a greater emphasis on the brightness and beauty it contains.
Close-up detail of Teresita Fernández, Charred Landscape (America), 2017
In Fire (America), the landscape—which with Teresita seems to unfold into infinity—allows her to deliver an elliptical commentary on tension-filled themes taken from contemporary American reality (and beyond): the violence of catastrophic and apocalyptic elements in all their expressions and, fundamentally, the violence that surrounds us—like Mishima's character Mizoguchi, an unhinged madman setting fires and fanning the flames in the Golden Pavilion. (Perhaps my research should focus on fire, which is also golden, and not on gold.)
Teresita also warns of our increasingly distant relationship with Nature, rooted in a robust and indifferent ego that permits its indiscriminate and brutal exploitation, so unlike the first inhabitants of these lands. Those peoples, enveloped in a pantheistic cosmic vision of existence not unlike the artist's own, would have a more rational and sustainable methodology of slash and burn.
The self-sufficient shadow, used for ornamental purposes (as in Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows), is a key element in the work of Teresita. In this exhibition, it becomes even more severe and concise. Like Black Sun, Fire (America) is a more agressive announcement of the end of an era, as much in its philosophic connotaion as in its social. Fire, the cult element to which she had turned several years earlier, is the source of heat and life but also the image of extinction. It's the perfect metaphor to demonstrate how we consume ourselves in our own ritual.
Close-up detail of Teresita Fernández, Fire (America) 5, 2016
The titles of Teresita's works are very important, since they not only illustrate or advance a level of meaning, but they also—as in good conceptualism—retain a coherent and tautological semantic relationship to the structure of the piece and the materials with which she works. She thus avoids the obvious circuitous terms and can be minimally clear, as one who applies the concept of Occam's razor (simpler explanations are generally better than more complex ones).
Fire, in this case, is represented by elements that are born from it: ceramics and burnt paper. Fire (America) is a show that functions on various levels and permits collateral readings related to local history, past as well as present.
The research and the degree of meticulousness with which she creates her works leaves us with the certainty of being in the presence of a sophisticated artist who succeeds in merging dissimilar layers of reference, not only at the intellecutal level but also at the level of manufacturing and assembly. She is nourished by rituals and ancestral cosmic visions, as well as literature and contemporary art, by the artisanal as well as the industrial, providing an essential experience.
Installation view of Teresita Fernández, Charred Landscape (America), 2017
On the other hand, especially in Charred Landscape (America), Fernández once again demonstrates the ability to efficiently dominate architectectural scale and space, in miniature. Miniaturization, present in all her works, is not only a question of size or physical scale, but an attitude that allows her to construct the epic and monumental from the small or barely perceivable thing.
All of her work is a mise en scène that reveals a glamourous delight in the ritual of material. It cannot be enjoyed without comprehending the tension that Fernández establishes between the monumentality of the landscape and the almost invisible details that form it—a tension in which the void acts as a mediator.
Her work, in extenso, is a duality of faith (intuition) and education, of an near-Zen pantheism and an occidental neo-Romanticism. Here, the honesty, to which she has referred in various interviews, constitutes the ethical key that has enabled the entire organic cycle of her work.
Teresita Fernández: Fire (America) runs through May 20 at the Lehmann Maupin space at 201 Chrystie Street, New York.

Q: Compile OpenCV 2.4.3-rc with gstreamer on Mac OS X 10.8 I am able to compile OpenCV on my Mac without gstreamer.
The problem is, gstreamer doesn't seem to be picked up by cmake, even though I have the following libraries installed via Macports:
    ffmpeg-devel                   @20121205       multimedia/ffmpeg-devel
    ...

    gstreamer                      @0.10.36        gnome/gstreamer

My cmake generate log looks like this (most omitted):
    --   Video I/O:
    --     DC1394 1.x:                  NO
    --     DC1394 2.x:                  YES (ver 2.1.3)
    --     FFMPEG:                      YES

    --     QTKit:                       YES

As you can see, gstreamer doesn't exist on the generated logs.
I am trying to use OpenCV for an Apexis IP Camera, which serves the video feed via HTTP.  With Gstreamer, I am able to build on Ubuntu 12.10 Server edition---and the IP Camera works---but I would prefer to be able to have a GUI session on my Mac.
Any insights are welcome.

A: Thanks to @yiding, I found the issue.
OpenCV blacklisted gstreamer on the Mac for some reason.  I was able to unblacklist it by simply changing the cmake configurations (CMakeLists.txt).
Change
OCV_OPTION(WITH_GSTREAMER "Include Gstreamer support" ON IF (UNIX AND NOT APPLE AND NOT ANDROID) )

to
OCV_OPTION(WITH_GSTREAMER "Include Gstreamer support" ON IF (UNIX AND NOT ANDROID) )

Then, I reinstalled both ffmpeg and gstreamer and all dependencies, and recompiled with make -j8.  sudo make install.  That was it.
Now I have IP Camera streaming to my Mac using OpenCV!
Edit: For context, this is OpenCV 2.4.3-rc and Mac OS X 10.8.

"A life dedicated to making people laugh is the best-lived life of all."
They're flying the kitten at half mast from the Post Office Tower this week, in memory of a comedy legend.
Tim Brooke-Taylor
Timothy Julian Brooke-Taylor was born in Buxton in 1940, and was sent to the fee-paying school at Winchester, where his housemasters saw how he always wanted to be the star of a theatre entertainment. Then he went to Pembroke college at Cambridge University, ostensibly to read law but really to join the Footlights comedy theatre crew. He was in the Cambridge Circus tour of 1963 alongside such other comedy geniuses as John Cleese and Graeme Chapman and Humphrey Barclay.
Tim moved to radio in 1964, with a radio version of Cambridge Circus. Now called I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, the show became an early comedy cult. Young people are listening to ISIRTA! Young people are listening to The Home Service!! Most of the listeners to the Home Service are dead, or even older!!! The gang split in 1973, John Cleese went off to do some television work, David Hatch Of The BBC became a respected radio producer, and later manager.
Twinkle and Tim.
On the television, Tim joined ATV for On the Braden Beat, then to The Frost Report and At Last the 1948 Show. He returned to the Beeb for It's Marty with Marty Feldman, and Broaden your Mind with Graeme Garden.
Tim's best remembered work was one-third of The Goodies, a precise satire on... well, we're not sure, actually. He'd worked with Graeme Garden on ISIRTA and The Braden Beat, and had met Bill Oddie at Cambridge. The Goodies had the basic format of a situation comedy, of three people trying to make the world a better place. To do this, they'd take part in some very surreal sketches and put themselves in bizarre situations. For instance, the time when London is terrorised by a giant kitten. For instance, the venomous Bagpipe spider that stalks Loch Ness. For instance, the lost martial art of ecky-thump. And there were parodies of television commercials of the time, and other ephemera.
Tim's character was an over-patriotic man with aristocratic leanings. He wore a three-piece suit with a Union Jack waistcoat, would hum the national anthem, and drank more tea than is humanly possible. It's a send-up of his real personality, the double-barrelled name and softly-spoken RP accent. It's a character that could have been Tim, but wasn't: he sometimes described it as "an unpleasant right-wing coward". The other Goodies were also warped extensions of their personalities: Dr Graeme Garden as the slightly over-ambitious scientist, and Bill Oddie as the short man who pootles about with great persistence and little industry.
The Beeb never quite knew whether The Goodies was a late-night programme, for adults at 10pm. Or if it was for children, on account of being entirely farce and devoid of moral message. Or if it was merely comedy genius, the right thing to put on as a light diversion opposite the main evening news. The Goodies moved to independent television for the final series, they had been messed about by the BBC and followed the money to LWT. Rarely repeated over here, The Goodies was a regular fixture on ABC in Australia.
Not just a Goodie
At the same time as The Goodies, Tim was involved in Radio 4's "antidote to panel games", I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. A surreal show, under the uncertain hand of Humphrey Lyttelton, Tim worked with fellow Goodie Graeme Garden, with scriptwriter and wit Barry Cryer, and with cartoonist Willie Rushton.
The show was a semi-improvised panel contest: the talent know what rounds are coming up, but not what the specifics are going to be. The aim isn't to be funnier than the next man, but to keep the comedy flying around. Tim would often be the butt of jokes, especially in the music rounds where he was encouraged to sing falsetto and to contemporary tunes like "Teenage dirtbag". ISIHAC proves that the points are far less important than the contribution, that people make great comedy when the score is kept quietly.
Tim did other radio work: with Barry Cryer and John Junkin on pun-tastic sketch comedy Hello Cheeky (Radio 2, 1973-9), and its unsuccessful television version for YTV.
He was the only one of the Goodies to find further mainstream comedy success. Sure, Bill has his nature documentaries, Graeme used his medical knowledge and wrote comedy, Tim performed comedy. His and Hers saw Tim and Madeline Smith play the neighbours of a couple where the wife was a city accountant and the husband took care of the home; it was eclipsed by The Good Life. Me and My Girl saw Tim as the third wheel again: business partner to Richard O'Sullivan, who was bringing up his teenage daughter. The Rough With the Smooth pitched Tim with John Junkin as two bachelors who shared a flat. And You Must Be the Husband, where screen wife Diane Keen wrote a salacious novel and got very famous very quickly. More recently, he voiced Animal Antics for BBC1.
There were films, too: The Chase with Cliff Richard, where the two picked up a suitcase of stolen money and were pursued across Scandinavia. Tim had a cameo in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where his supercomputer knew exactly where the three remaining Golden Tickets were hidden. In 1979 he followed Frank Muir as rector of the University of St Andrews.
With Graeme in 2004.
In addition to the long-running ISIHAC, Tim spent seven series hosting the Radio 4 entertainment Hoax!. Three celebrity guests joined Tim and told some long and intricate anecdotes. Two of the tales were true, and one was a lie. The objective of the panel was to question each other about whose tall tale was true, and which was not. They'd question each other, and Tim would join in – he hadn't been tipped off about which tale was fabricated, so played along with the rest of the panel. The concept came to television as Would I Lie to You?.
On the telly, Tim hosted the one-week wonder Qd - The Master Game, a drama contained in an immersive quiz, stripped every night for a week. He came back to Channel 4 in 2004 to host Beat the Nation, again with Graeme Garden. The show is almost forgotten, though in retrospect it's become more important as a forerunner to Pointless.
Each question had been put to over 1000 people before the show, and the value of the question was the percentage of people who got the question wrong. High scores were the way to go on this show, where buzzers were also used. (Ever realised they never use buzzers on Pointless? Us neither.) Tim read out the value of the right answer, and gave some additional facts where they were merited, so this makes him the Original Source of the Richardosman. Other elements of Beat the Nation would remain on Channel 4: a particular typeface for the numbers, and a full score from Augustin Bousfield, were both elements on the following year's Deal or No Deal.
Beat the Nation was an amiable enough show, perhaps a bit rough around the edges, but nothing desperately wrong with it. Nor was there anything desperately right with it, and the show suffered from being the one that replaced Fifteen-to-One in its timeslot. After the initial commission (of over 100 episodes) ended, Beat the Nation has faded into obscurity, not even sold to the Challenge channel.
Tim continued to work right up into this year: he was on the ISIHAC tour in January, and recorded some radio editions in Harrogate in February. Tim is survived by his wife Christine, and their sons Ben and Edward.
A new face is to join ITV's The Chase. Darragh Ennis was named as the sixth Chaser, following his own strong appearance on the show some time ago.
Like so many other shows, The Chase is in re-runs at the moment – so too is Tipping Point, and after being shunted across to BBC2 for the past month, Pointless is also back to repeats. Countdown will continue with the current series for two more weeks, then we understand they'll repeat the Thirtieth Birthday Championship from early 2013.
Sian Clifford and Matthew Macfadyen as Diana and Charles Ingram.
This week's big new show was Quiz, a drama on ITV. It's based on "Bad Show", the book of the trial of Charles and Diana Ingram. While the script took a few liberties with the truth, melding characters together and omitting marginal facts, it certainly had the ring of truthiness about it. We particularly enjoyed the opening episode, where the people at Celador try to pitch this show to ITV, and suddenly find they've got a monster hit on their hands.
Has it changed the popular opinion of Charles and Diana Ingram? Quite possibly: the sense seems to have shifted from "he's been convicted, he's guilty" to "there's no way they should have let that tape be used as key evidence". The Ingrams have put in an appeal against their conviction, and we'll update if there's any news to report.
We also note that all editions of Martin Bashir's documentary A Major Fraud have been disappeared from a popular video sharing site. In its place, current copyright holders Sony have put up a "real footage" version of Charles Ingram's time in the chair, edited to enhance the coughs they want us to hear, and to add captions telling the prosecution's story. Quiz was far more balanced, but that's required of broadcast television.
But we don't want to give you that!
A quick word on Mend It for Money (Chalkboard Television for Channel 4, Monday). On this show, people bring items they want to sell to a restorers' workshop, and let someone buff it up – for a share of the eventual sale price. There's a small competitive element, the seller is able to choose between two potential repair workers, based on their experience and price. The bulk of the show follows the repair process, and the eventual result. Tom Allen gives a waspish voiceover. It was a decent pilot programme, of particular appeal if you're into BBC1's The Repair Shop and Find It Fix It Flog It, but there's not enough competition for us to deem it a game show.
Joe Lycett gets everywhere these days. The comedian's fabric-based contest The Great Sewing Bee advances to BBC1 (Wed). It's also the University Challenge final (BBC2, Mon). The St George's Day edition of Pointless Celebrities on Saturday, with the unlikely combination of Gyles Brandreth and Baga Chipz. Last in the present series of Catchpoint, and In for a Penny visits York.

Schmalwasser ist ein Ortsteil der unterfränkischen Gemeinde Sandberg im Landkreis Rhön-Grabfeld.

Geographische Lage
Schmalwasser liegt südöstlich von Sandberg.

Die durch den Ort verlaufende Staatsstraße St 2288 führt westwärts nach Sandberg und mündet südöstlich in die St 2267. Von Schmalwasser aus führt die Kreisstraße NES 51 ostwärts nach Windshausen.

Geschichte
Schmalwasser entstand nach einem Bericht des Stangenrother Bürgers Hans Pulff um das Jahr 1500 durch die Ansiedlung eines Hans Simon und eines Köhlers namens Martin. Es folgten weitere Ansiedlungen, wahrscheinlich durch Waldarbeiter, die sich in den Sommermonaten dort niederließen. Um 1538 befanden sich im Ort 10 bis 12 Häuser.

Als im Jahr 1537 der Würzburger Fürstbischof Konrad II. von Thüngen von der ungenehmigten Gründung von Schmalwasser erfuhr, drohten er und sein Nachfolger Melchior Zobel von Giebelstadt mit der Räumung des Ortes; dies konnte erst durch zahlreiche Bittschriften und Rechtsgutachten abgewendet werden.

Die Aufstellung des Pestheiligen St. Sebastian lässt vermuten, dass die Pest Todesopfer in Schmalwasser forderte. Durch seine abgelegene Lage blieb der Ort von schlimmeren Auswirkungen des Dreißigjährigen Krieges verschont.

In seelsorgerischer Hinsicht gehörte Schmalwasser zunächst zur Pfarrei Steinach (heute Ortsteil von Bad Bocklet). Am 5. Mai 1716 begann der Bau der Ortskirche Mariä Himmelfahrt, die der Würzburger Weihbischof Johann Bernhard Mayer am 26. Juli 1725 weihte. Nachdem der Ort wenig später der Pfarrei Burgwallbach zugeteilt worden war, bekam er im Jahr 1874 einen eigenen Kaplan.

Im Lauf der Jahrhunderte lebten die Einwohner des Ortes hauptsächlich von der Landwirtschaft und waren von Armut und Hunger betroffen. Einige fanden Arbeit in der Umgebung, so in Bad Kissingen, Bad Neustadt an der Saale, Schweinfurt, Ochsenfurt und Hessen. Im 20. Jahrhundert fanden Armut und Hungersnot ein Ende; der Zustand des Ortes verbesserte sich durch Erneuerung der Häuser und den Bau von Straßen, Wasserleitung und Kanalisation.

Im Jahr 1947 wurde die Kirche erweitert. Seit 1970 gehört Schmalwasser zur Pfarrei Sandberg.

Am 1. Januar 1972 wurde Schmalwasser im Rahmen der Gemeindegebietsreform ein Ortsteil von Sandberg.

Report: Mavericks will try to bring back Chandler, Barea
By Kurt HelinJun 5, 2011, 5:01 PM EDT
There's been a lot of talk that this run is Dirk Nowitzki's last chance at a ring, because of his age and the makeup of the team. I'm not buying the age thing — I watched Game 2 of the finals. And the entire playoffs. The guy is averaging 28.1 points per game and shooing 50.5 percent despite being the primary focus of every defense. And he's shooting 51 percent from three. Yes, he's 32, but he has a few very good years left.
But the Mavericks team could see a real shakeup.
They have six free agents this summer — Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler, Peja Stojakovic, J.J. Barea, DeShawn Stevenson and Brian Cardinal. And according to ESPN Dallas, they only want about half of them back.
Indications from sources are the Mavericks want to at least bring back Chandler, Barea and injured forward Caron Butler. Brian Cardinal and Peja Stojakovic are the other two free agents.
The Mavs currently aren't in position to lock up any of the free agents. The threat of a lockout and the new collective bargaining agreement will certainly change the financial parameters of future contract negotiations. Much has to be sorted out before next season's roster is constructed.
The lockout and new CBA loom over everything. Chandler is going to get a lot of interest from a lot of teams, but Dallas has the inside track to get him. Butler isn't likely to leave. Barea is the kind of guy who has had a good playoffs because Mavs coach Rick Carlisle has used him so well, putting him in situations that suit his skill set, but some GM could miss that and overpay to get him. We'll see. Barea is a good backup point but he has limits, particularly defensively.
Basically, Dirk is not done but we have no idea what the Mavericks will look like next season.


Grief, stress, financial pressures, and unhappy memories of Christmases past can make the Christmas Season an especially difficult time for many people. Sometimes people find it helpful to take a break from the hype and boisterous noise of the season. We invite those who might find it hard to feel celebratory and joyful at this time of year to attend Blue Christmas and take some time for prayer, story, song, and reflection. Come and find comfort, stillness, and peace in the Christmas story.
The service will be followed by refreshments and informal conversation with our Pastoral Care Team.

UK government 1946: "Segregation should be the key-note of modern road design"
November 20, 2016 carltonreid 4 Comments
Long before Buchanan's Traffic in Towns of 1963 (which dismissed cycling as a transport mode in decline and therefore unworthy of design considerations) there was an official Government style-guide: Design & Layout of Roads in Built-up Areas. This was issued by the Ministry of War Transport in 1946, and coloured transport thinking for a number of years.
This document recommended segregated provision for the growing number of cyclists, worrying that "conditions obtaining in early post-war years will tend still further to popularize the cycling habit." The team led by Sir Frederick C. Cook believed there was a strong case for the "necessity of making ample road provision for pedal cyclists." This ample, segregated road provision for cyclists never got built (and it wasn't the fault of cycling organisations).
"Objections to cycle tracks have been stimulated by the indifferent surfaces with which some of the early tracks were laid," admitted Cook's report, and this didn't allow for an uninterrupted ride, a design flaw that had to be remedied. "The profile of tracks should be unbroken across intersecting vehicular entrances, and they should approach side roads with an easy ramp," advised the report, and – predicting the green cycle tracks still far off in the future – the report also suggested that "the surface is best formed by materials of pleasingly distinctive colour."
The report said that: "Segregation … should be the key-note of modern road design … Police supervision would be necessary to ensure that … cycle ways are not used by other classes of traffic or otherwise abused" and such "segregated tracks for cyclists" should be provided "as a matter of course on arterial, through- and local-through routes …"
In 1946 the UK government knew that the Netherlands had been building separated cycleways for half a century, and had even built this giant two-level roundabout in Utrecht from 1941 to 1944, above. The "Berekuil" – or bear pit – junction had been designed in 1936, and is still in use today, although it has been modified over the years. This is the sort of infrastructure that, in the same period, the British government said would be too difficult and too expensive to build for cyclists in England.
However, a grade-separated roundabout to aid motorists, and supposedly protect pedestrians, was built in 1939 on the A22 Caterham by-pass – the Wapses Lodge roundabout was way ahead of its time, and quite the eyesore today so it must have looked incredibly alien in 1939. Pedestrians rarely use the underpasses. (At the beginnings of the 1960s a number of similar grade-separated roundabouts for pedestrians and cyclists were built in Stevenage – they were modelled on the Berekuil.)
Design & Layout of Roads in Built-up Areas proposed that this arterial to be built in Birmingham should have separated cycleways running alongside it. The arterial got built; the cycleways didn't. Again, I have to stress it was not the opposition of CTC and the forerunner to the British Cycling Federation which scuppered these cycleway plans. Separation by mode was also the desired wish of all of the UK's motoring organisations, a number of parliamentary committees and the fifty or so members of the British Road Federation.
Design & Layout of Roads in Built-up Areas also included technical drawings showing how cycleways should be carried around roundabouts, offering protection all the way around. Such roundabouts are only now being installed in the US and the UK, but have been common in the Netherlands for many years.
Design & Layout of Roads in Built-up Areas was a fleshed-out version of various Memorandums issued by the Ministry of Transport; the first had been issued in 1930 followed by a revised edition in 1937 and the further revised Memorandum No. 575 of 1943. This called for "Cycle tracks, footpaths, and suitable crossings for pedestrians" beside and on the new "arterial" roads and bypasses then being constructed. Subsequent official memoranda recommended that "dual carriageways" should be 120 feet wide, allowing for three 10-foot motor traffic lanes, as well as 9-foot cycle tracks.
The illustration below is of a model from the Road Architecture Exhibition organised by the Royal Institute of British Architects at its 66 Portland Place HQ in London. Note the mention of cycle tracks.
In 1948, the Ministry of Transport produced large models of how it proposed the roads of the future would look, and displayed them for lawmakers in the Houses of Parliament. One of these models featured an "all-purpose road" with a roundabout junction with three flyover bridges – two were to carry motor traffic; the third – in the middle – was for pedestrians and cyclists to enable "the free and safe passage of motor traffic." When such roads were built in the 1950s the model was ignored for reasons of cost, with the infrastructure for the cyclists and the pedestrians omitted.
At a meeting of the Town Planning Institute on 5th May 1949 at the Institution of Civil Engineers in London, E.B. Hugh-Jones, who soon thereafter became the Chief Road Engineer at the Ministry of Transport, "described the most recent designs approved by the Ministry for future road construction." This included providing a "track 10 feet wide for pedestrians … and cyclists. It would be highly advantageous to segregate these forms of traffic from fast motor traffic but the surface of such a track should be equal to that of the carriageway in surface."

Thanks again for your research uncovering what should have been and hopefully will now start being, namely segregated cycle networks in and inbetween towns and cities. The Dutch have done it since the 1970's we just need to adapt and follow!

Hi David – book shows that the Dutch have been doing it for a lot longer than since the 1970s, mind!

Good article – I did a bit of research on the origins of segregation more generally, as one aspect of police-driven engineering solutions to the traffic problem, which I published last year as a chapter in an edited collection

mysql> SELECT cus_name, cus_phone, inv_id, inv_total, ship_date
    ->             from customer natural join shipment natural join invoiceheader

Empty set (0.00 sec)

I have attached my db schema if it helps. I tried removing the run_sql function nut still no luck. When I do only one natural join it seems to work.

A: In response to your comment:

*

*Separate database logic from application logic by isolating the query that is executed: Print it in your application or recreate it yourself.

*Run the query in a MySQL console or via phpMyAdmin or whatever software you use for this.

What does it return? If the query does not return anything, make sure the fields that are supposed to join the tables (cus_id, inv_id) are identical across the tables in which they appear. I.e., inv_id has to have the same daratype in invoiceheader and shipment. If the datatypes aren't identical, then they can't be joined either.
If this is all in order, rebuild your query incrementally. Start off with a simple SELECT ... FROM ... and then attach a JOIN to that, and then the other, all the while making sure the problem does not occur there.
Finally, the problem could be within your WHERE clause as well. Make sure the datatype of this column matches the way you're querying for it. (Note: Building your queries like this is prone to error, it's better to prepare them using prepared statements)
This is a bit generic, but it's difficult to be specific when I don't know your database schema.
