Q: How does the ZX80 keyboard avoid ghosting and masking? I believe that a keyboard matrix needs a diode on each key to avoid ghosting and masking.
http://pcbheaven.com/wikipages/How_Key_Matrices_Works/
The ZX80 (and probably ZX81) has only a diode for each half-row.
http://searle.hostei.com/grant/zx80/zx80circuitAnnotated.pdf
How does this work?

A: Maybe that design doesn't address ghosting and masking. It's not a problem if the user presses one button at a time.

A: The keyboard is not designed to handle ghosting and masking...
(If Q,R,F were pressed the computer would also see the A key as well.)
The diodes are there to keep the cost down (The diodes are so that the keys won't force another Address line low, which would crash the computer) - in other computers a buffer IC(s) and better address decoding would be used, but to keep costs down the diodes can be used - but this 'wastes' addresses (not that it matters on a computer like this)
How the keyboard works
           A8   A9  A10  A11  A12  A13  A14  A15  Keyboard layout
            |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |
    K4 -    V    G    T    5    6    Y    H    B
    K3 -    C    F    R    4    7    U    J    N
    K2 -    X    D    E    3    8    I    K    M
    K1 -    Z    S    W    2    9    O    L    .
    K0 -  Shift  A    Q    1    0    P   NL  Space

(I'm using K0-K5 to be the inputs to IC 10)
Lines K0,K1,K2,K3,K4 are pulled to 5V by R13,R14,R15,R16,R17

Suppose you want to see if the A key is pressed
In Machine code you
would do the following
    LD BC,FEFF - Just set A9 to Low
    IN A,(C)   - Read keys A,S,D,F,G
    BIT 0,A    - if Bit 0 (D0) is low then set the Z flag
    JP Z,xxxx  - if the Z flag is set then jump to xxxx

The Value in BC is put onto the Address lines when then IN A,(C) command is executed, The value should be chosen so that only 1 address line is low at this time - the value I chose will set only A9 to logic low.
K0 can only be pulled low when Shift,A,Q,1,0,P,New Line or Space is pressed (And then only if the correct Address line is pulled low - in this case only A9 is low so only the A key will cause K0 to go low (Ignore ghosting at the moment)
IC 10 is activated by the KBD signal line from the IO decoder, this then put the the signals from K0-K5  onto the cpu data bus D0-D5 (I'm ignoring D6-D7 as I'm only dealing with the keyboard) - the IN A,(C) command put this value into register A,
we then use the Bit command to see if D0 is low - if so Set the Z flag...
To keep cost down, the logic levels are 'inverted' - this means that the computer looks for a low/0 for a key press, and not a High/1 (Most ICs can pull a signal low more easily than pull a signal high) - it is cheaper to rewrite the code the CPU uses than add an extra IC to invert the signal levels to the CPU - They made the ZX80 as cheap as possible - and it was about 1/2 the cost of any other computer with basic at the time...

A: That circuit uses some address lines to enable keyboard reading. Some other address lines (not part of the enable circuit) determine which columns (note the s) are read: a low address line can, via a keyboard switch, pull one of the inputs of IC10 low. This depends on the property of LS TTL inputs that a floating input is seen as high.
The diodes in the circuit are needed to prevent that pressed keys could connect an address line to another address line, which would not be a good idea. They are not there to prevent ghosting/masking. The ZX80 had a membrane keyboard, it was hard enough to press one key, multi key press detection as not a feature of this beast.

Michael Ching
American composer, conductor, and music administrator
For the Chinese-Canadian businessman, see Michael Ching (businessman).
Michael Ching (born September 29, 1958)[1] is an American composer, conductor, and music administrator. A prolific and eclectic composer, he is best known nationally as the composer of innovative operas, including his a cappella adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (2011).[2] His other major operas include Buoso's Ghost (1996), Corps of Discovery (2003), Slaying the Dragon (2012), Speed Dating Tonight! (2013), and Alice Ryley (2015). He has written the librettos of many of his own operas, and has done so for all of his operas composed after 2012.
He is on the board of directors of the National Opera Association.

Early life and education[edit]
Michael Ching was born in 1958 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Before he was one year old his family left Honolulu, and he grew up in New Orleans and Saint Paul, Minnesota.[1] His father was an accomplished amateur pianist and a college professor in theater and speech. Ching later recalled, "He played everything from Chopin to Dave Brubeck transcriptions. He wanted to go into music but his family discouraged him."[3]
Ching started piano at the age of six and was quite skilled at it, at one point considering a career as a concert pianist. In addition, he studied flute, violin, and oboe, mostly for the sake of composition. He started composing as a child, and by the time he reached high school he had studied composition at Interlochen and also had private composition instruction.[1][3]
He attended Duke University on a composition scholarship, studying with Robert Ward and Iain Hamilton.[4][5] He graduated in 1980, and his senior project was a one-act opera retelling a vampire story set in New Orleans, which received a small performance at Duke.[3][5]
Career[edit]
Ching began his career as a National Opera Institute apprentice 1980–1981 at the Houston Grand Opera Studio, where he was involved in the company's productions and continued his composition studies with composer Carlisle Floyd.[6][7][8] From 1981–1985 he held increasingly responsible positions at the Greater Miami Opera/Florida Grand Opera.[9][10] He subsequently held conductor and executive director positions at venues including Texas Opera Theatre,[11] Chautauqua Opera,[3][12] and Triangle Music Theater.[13]
In 1989 he was appointed Assistant to the General Director of Virginia Opera. He was subsequently the company's Associate Artistic Director from 1991 through mid 1992.[1][14]
In 1992 Ching joined Opera Memphis as Artistic Director, a position he held through 2010. He was the opera's General Director for most of those years as well.[15][16]
He left Opera Memphis for Iowa in the spring of 2010 when his wife Barbara, a university professor and a native Iowan, was named chair of the English department at Iowa State University.[15] He told the Memphis Daily News, "Barbara and I always had a plan that I would be able to stay home and write and she would be the one carrying the economic ball. The time was right and the job came through."[16]
In addition to being a freelance composer and conductor, Ching is also Chairman of the Douglas Moore Fund for American Opera, which supports emerging opera creators.[17][18] He was Music Director of Nickel City Opera in Buffalo, New York from 2012–2017,[19] and he has been Music Director of Amarillo Opera in Amarillo, Texas since September 2016.[20]
In 2019 he was elected to the board of directors of the National Opera Association.[21][22]
Major compositions[edit]
Ching's Piano Concerto, commissioned by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, had its well-received premiere, performed by Craig Bohmler, in 1997. The San Jose Mercury wrote, "The concerto has the kind of instant appeal to listeners that every composer must dream of.... When it was finished, the crowd rose in a spontaneous ovation."[23] The concerto was recorded and released on the orchestra's first commercial CD.[24][25]
The San Jose Chamber Orchestra subsequently also commissioned and premiered his Psyche and Eros, a 45-minute composition for narrator and string orchestra, written in collaboration with storyteller Margaret Wolfson, in 2000.[26] Dan Leeson in San Francisco Classical Voice wrote that "The Ching/Wolfson collaboration is simply marvelous.... Ching is a gifted composer capable of turning out well-crafted music, very romantic when the occasion dictates and frightening when that is called for."[27] Metro Silicon Valley analysed the music in great depth, concluding that "[T]he technique is adroit, fluid and winningly integrated. Ching speaks music so well that he accommodates the text without a stumble.... [T]he music stands remarkably well on its own – rather like a string of pearls.... Ching might well be tempted to craft a concert suite without the transitional material."[26] The work's additional venues have included the Abu Dhabi Music & Art Festival and the Lincoln Center Summer Institute program in West Memphis.[28][29][30]
Operas[edit]
1985–1999[edit]
Ching is best known for his operas. He provided his own libretti for his first two operas: Levees (1980), a New Orleans vampire story performed at Duke University;[31] and Cocks Must Crow (1985), based on a Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings short story and performed at Greater Miami Opera.[32] His early miniature opera Leo: Opera in One Cat is a jazz-based 15-minute one-act opera, with a libretto by Fernando Fonseca based on Cal Massey's story "Leo Spat". It premiered in June 1985 at Houston Grand Opera's Texas Opera Theater, and subsequent venues included South Street Theater in New York City in October 1985.[33] Texas Monthly called it "a pleasant diversion but such an assured one that the Miami-based composer's talent glitters all over it."[34]
His fourth opera, Cue 67, a one-act 35-minute contemporary murder-mystery ghost story set in a theater, was commissioned and premiered at Virginia Opera in 1992, paired in a double bill with Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium.[35][36] It contains an eclectic blend of musical styles from opera to rock 'n' roll, pop music, and Broadway-type tunes, and the libretto is by Sandra Bernhard.[37][38]
Beginning in 1993, Ching wrote two related one-act operas with songwriter Hugh Moffatt. The first, King of the Clouds (1993), deals with alcoholism and broken families,[39] and the second, Out of the Rain (1998), explores contemporary topics such as social pressure, teen suicide, and AIDS.[9][40][41][42] King of the Clouds was commissioned and premiered by Dayton Opera,[43] and Out of the Rain was commissioned jointly by Opera Delaware, the Kansas City Lyric Opera, and Opera Memphis, and premiered by Opera Delaware.[44][45] Both operas, separately and together, have received numerous productions, including high-school productions.[44][46]
Ching's opera Buoso's Ghost is a comedic sequel to Puccini's one-act comic opera Gianni Schicchi.[47] It had its first full staging with the Pittsburgh Opera in 1996,[48][49] and its official premiere at Opera Memphis in 1997.[50][51] Starting where Gianni Schicchi ends, the new opera, with a libretto by the composer,[51] opens with Schicchi's final chords and carries the plot forward by following the sinister dealings of Buoso Donati's family, who apparently had poisoned Buoso, and the continued machinations of Schicchi, who tries to exploit this growing suspicion on his part.[3][52] In reviewing the work the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that "Buoso's Ghost soared .... [it] offered highly charged acting atop a deft, tuneful score.... Ching, General/Artistic Director of Opera Memphis, studied with Robert Ward and Carlisle Floyd, and the unashamed flow of natural, singing melody ... reflects the profile of his teachers."[53] And the Chicago Tribune reported that "Composer and librettist Ching ... borrows snatches of Puccini tunes and weaves them into his own conservative-eclectic idiom, tossing in bits of American pop ... for merry measure. The vocal writing is expert, the orchestration light enough to allow the singers to project the text clearly. Buoso is charming and unpretentious ...."[54] Opera News noted that Ching uses "a more modern musical mode, yet avoiding excessive atonality. The score subtly introduces brief tongue-in-cheek quotations from other works, ranging from Mozart to Sondheim, plus one unmistakable interjection of Shostakovich."[55] The work has been performed throughout the U.S. as an ideal pairing with Gianni Schicchi, the most popular of Puccini's three Il trittico one-act operas.[56][57][58][59]
Ching also supplied his own libretto to his one-act opera Faith, based on the short story of the same title by award-winning science-fiction author James Patrick Kelly. The opera follows the story of the titular character, a divorced and depressed woman who meets a man via a personal ad, discovers he talks to plants, and begins to fall in love again.[60] Kelly said of the opera, "You get good reviews, you win an award, but there's no feeling quite so wonderful as having another artist interpret your work supremely well. There are giant chunks of narrative [Ching] just set to music which is different ... for opera ... much more colloquial and approachable. This man transformed my piece into something equally, if not more, wonderful."[61] The opera was commissioned by OperaFest of New Hampshire, and premiered there in April 1999,[61] with subsequent performances in September 1999 at the Vital Theatre in New York City and elsewhere, including Chicago in 2000.[62][63][64]
Ching's three-act opera Corps of Discovery, his third collaboration with Hugh Moffatt, was commissioned by the University of Missouri for the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.[10] The principal roles are Lewis; Clark; Sacagawea; interpreter Toussaint Charbonneau; York, a slave and full member of the corps; George Shannon; and John Potts, a German-born older member of the corps.[65][66] Act 1 of the opera was performed in 2002 at Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall and at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.[67] The full work had its world premiere in May 2003.[66][68] In addition to full productions at the University of Missouri, Opera Memphis, Opera America's 2003 convention, Washington State University, University of Idaho, and elsewhere, Ching also toured the piece with Fargo-Moorhead Opera, using a piano and violin as accompaniment, throughout North Dakota, including some of the locations the expedition stopped at.[44][69][70][71] Memphis's Tri-State Defender deemed the work an "epic success"; its review of the "enthusiastically received" work noted that "The years of preparation, study, writing, composing, editing and creating that were required to produce this panoramic and worthy opera is mind-boggling." The review found the score "monumental", "masterful", "magnificent and often haunting".[72]
His next opera, an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, is an entirely a cappella work, with the musical accompaniment, including the percussion, sung by a "voicestra" of 15 to 20 voices.[2][73] The inspiration for the work came when he was invited to become the vocal coach for DeltaCappella, a contemporary a cappella group founded in Memphis in 2007.[74] Ching retrospectively noted, "Their devotion to detail and their joy of singing was palpable and infectious. There was something jaw-droppingly giddy about the whole enterprise. With no reeds, no mouthpieces, no strings, no sticks, the variety of sounds they were capable of making was virtually unlimited. By the end of my first rehearsal with them I was hooked and eager to apply this new sonic palette to opera."[75] After conducting Marcus Hummon's Shakespeare-filled Surrender Road, he reflected that "with its potential for three sonic worlds inhabited by the Athenians, the fairies, the rude mechanicals, A Midsummer Night's Dream seemed a perfect vehicle for exploring a colorful prism of a cappella styles."[75] Ching has noted that his eclectic compositional style was influenced by what Gershwin was trying to accomplish in Porgy and Bess: "He was writing something that surfs between pop and opera. Many people love Porgy, but nobody ever tries to write an opera like it. I wanted to write accessible and tuneful music, yet very modern."[76] The opera debuted in 2011 at Playhouse on the Square, in collaboration with Opera Memphis, with roles sung by musical-theater singers and professional opera singers.[2][77][78] It was also performed at OperaHub in Boston in 2012.[79][80]
The Wall Street Journal praised A Midsummer Night's Dream, stating that "Ching's remarkably inventive opera is a celebration of what voices can do and still, with the exception of a few startling vocal percussion effects, sound like voices." The review noted Ching's "seamless changes in tone, ... fine sense of pacing and skill with ensemble writing" and "tonal and tuneful vocal lines ... written for maximum intelligibility". The reviewer found the voicestra's part remarkable in that it "supports the singers on the stage, its overlapping lines and syllables weaving around them, amplifying their characters and conflicts, sometimes echoing their words (or even their thoughts), or supplying atmosphere. The voicestra gives the opera an added human dimension ...."[2]
Albany Records released the CD of A Midsummer Night's Dream — opera a cappella in 2014.[81][82] The Recorded A Cappella Review Board reviewed the work, noting that
The opera is a fusion of Shakespeare text, a cappella background music, and different soloist styles based on the characters. For example, the characters of highest rank, such as Oberon and Titania, sing with a classical registration, while some of the more subordinate characters, such as Hermia, Helena, and Puck, generally sing in a more conversational style akin to musical theatre. To round out the group, the Rude Mechanicals were sung by members of the voicestra in a more contemporary pop style. These compositional choices create a spectrum that corresponds rank with singing style.
The opera features a healthy mix of catchy motives attributed to particular characters as well as quotations from other works, mostly operas, to serve as music for the play-within-a-play in Act 5 of the original. Almost every word in the opera is sung, though there are some passages that Mr. Ching opted to have spoken, as they served as minor plot advancements and did not require music to carry out their purpose. As is commonplace in modern opera, there are numerous time and texture changes throughout, as well as a spectrum of speech-like and song-like passages rather than black-and-white designations. The work is immensely tonal, which is a help to the voicestra.[83]
Slaying the Dragon, Ching's fact-based 2012 opera, explores intolerance and redemption, and was inspired by the 1990s true story Not by the Sword by Kathryn Watterson.[84] The two-act opera's libretto is by Ellen Frankel, and it was premiered in June 2012 by Philadelphia's Center City Opera Theater, which commissioned the work.[85] The opera is the story of a Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon whose life is transformed by the friendship and kindness of a local rabbi and his wife. The man renounces his Klan association and begins to speak out publicly for tolerance; his terminal illness eventually incapacitates him and he moves into the rabbi's home, converting to Judaism before dying.[84][86][87] The score balances the dark themes of bigotry and intolerance with an eclectic variety of ethnic music including Yiddish folk songs, Vietnamese children's songs, Jewish sacred music, Aryan rock, Broadway scores, gospel music, and country-western tunes.[88]
2013–present[edit]
Speed Dating Tonight!, a comic opera in one act, was commissioned and premiered in 2013 by the Janiec Opera of the Brevard Music Center.[89] Ching supplied his own libretto for the piece, and the opera for up to 45 singers or more[90][91] can be adapted for varying numbers of singers, voice types, gender ratios, and length of time, by cutting, re-ordering, or transposing the keys of the vignettes.[12][92][93][94][95] Additional 2013–2014 production venues included Amarillo Opera, Southern Utah University, Ithaca College, University of Central Florida, Microsopic Opera (Pittsburgh), Poor Richard's Opera (Philadelphia),[95][96] and elsewhere, and it has been cited as "the most-performed American opera within a year of its premiere".[97][91]
Ching next composed and wrote the libretto for the opera Alice Ryley, a fact-based ghost story based on the title character (also spelled Alice Riley), a woman who was hanged in Savannah, Georgia in the 1730s. The opera was commissioned by the Sherrill Milnes VOICE Programs, via the Savannah VOICE Festival, in October 2014, and premiered on Halloween Eve, October 30, 2015.[98][99][100][101]
In 2017 he premiered Anna Hunter, the Spirit of Savannah, another opera commissioned by the Savannah VOICE Festival.[102] It is a one-act opera about historic preservation in 1950s' Savannah, and Ching wrote his own libretto.[103][104]
For Palm Springs Opera Guild of the Desert, in Palm Springs, California, Ching wrote Thriver, also known as Thrivers, a one-act opera specifically for adolescent voices about overcoming teen depression.[105][106][107][108] It premiered in January 2019.[105] Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, commissioned his opera Seven Woods and a Van, which alludes to the 15th-century Flemish artist Jan van Eyck's influence on 20th-century American Gothic painter Grant Wood. It was one of three 30-minute operas about Grant Wood commissioned by Cedar Rapids Opera, presented in April 2019.[109][110][111][112]

Volume rendering is a technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has applications in areas such as medical imaging and scientific visualization, but its use has been limited by its high computational expense. Early implementations of volume rendering used brute-force techniques that require on the order of 100 seconds to render typical data sets on a workstation. Algorithms with optimizations that exploit coherence in the data have reduced rendering times to the range of ten seconds but are still not fast enough for interactive visualization applications. In this thesis we present a family of volume rendering algorithms that reduces rendering times to one second. First we present a scanline-order volume rendering algorithm that exploits coherence in both the volume data and the image. We show that scanline-order algorithms are fundamentally more efficient than commonly-used ray casting algorithms because the latter must perform analytic geometry calculations (e.g. intersecting rays with axis-aligned boxes). The new scanline-order algorithm simply streams through the volume and the image in storage order. We describe variants of the algorithm for both parallel and perspective projections and

This recipe, like it's original, is not for those with timid taste buds. In fact, this sandwich could easily be described as a full-scale culinary blitzkrieg. But for a lot of people trying to go meatless, one complaint I have often heard is that vegetarian food is bland. Well, I double-dog dare 'em.
First, get a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. While that's going heat up you sauerkraut so that it's hot all the way through, either in a pot or in the microwave. When your skillet is ready take a slice of rye and butter one side. Place on the griddle. Add a slice of Swiss, then using a fork to strain the water off, pile on an even layer of sauerkraut. Add another piece of Swiss. On another piece of rye spread a generous amount of mustard, place on top of sandwich and now butter the top. Occasionally check the bottom piece of bread and when it's golden, flip. The trick is to make the bread is golden and the Swiss is melted. When it's ready, slice it in half and serve with beer, some greens and maybe some roasted potatoes.
For parties, this can be a great appetizer if you use round cookie cutter to cut the bread and cheese, then assemble as above.
No No No…….No microwave. Recipe is good but if you want it to be fully healthy as well as meatless, do not recommend the microwave.
Mais c'est pas fini cette phobie du micro-ondes ?
Je suis d'accord avec Peter, c'est pareil.
Que fait le micro onde aux aliments à part faire bouger l'anatomie des petites molécules :-p Ce n'est pas une centrale nucléaire.

Home/NEWS/We will recover Oyo's money from contractors who failed to deliver- Makinde
We will recover Oyo's money from contractors who failed to deliver- Makinde
By Sixtus Nnamani
Publisher Follow on Twitter Send an email May 1, 2021
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, said, on Friday, April 30, 2021, that his administration will recover every Kobo of Oyo State's money in the hands of contractors who failed to deliver on projects.
The governor gave the assurance during an inspection tour of the newly renovated Jericho Nursing Home, Jericho, Ibadan.
He said that he will never allow any fund belonging to Oyo State to be frittered away, adding that he will go after contractors who failed to deliver on assigned projects.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the governor as saying that his administration will ensure the people of the state get the desired value for their money.
The governor stated that the previous contractor handling the project did not complete the work, a development, which he said was "unacceptable by this administration."
He said: "Every kobo of Oyo State money that people have taken without delivering value to the people, they will give it back to us."
Makinde, however maintained that he is satisfied with the level of on-going renovation work at the hospital by the present administration.
The governor further said: "Well, for the ones that we did, yes I am satisfied. But the previous contractor, we can all see, did not finish the work. We went round to look at the transformer but it is not yet energised and it is just really unacceptable. People may think we are not going to go after them but I can give you the assurance that we will."
The governor explained that the purpose of the inspection was to examine the renovation work at the hospital and to see some of the challenges being faced by the staff of the hospital.
"Basically, I am here to see the renovation work that has gone on in here and also listen to them about the challenges they are having. As you probably must have known, health is one of the major pillars of this administration.
"So, we have to keep working to ensure that the health care in Oyo State is well delivered," Makinde stated.

Eyre Crowe, 1824-1910
[Victorian Web Home —> Visual Arts —> Victorian Painting —> Eyre Crowe]
Eyre Crowe, in a platinum print by Ralph Winwood Robinson, published by C. Whittingham & Co in 1892. 7 7/8 in. x 6 in. (201 mm x 153 mm), given by Royal Academy of Arts in 1969. © National Portrait Gallery, London (NPG x7359).
Eyre Crowe was born in Sloane Street, London, the first of the five children of the journalist and historian Eyre Evans Crowe (1799-1868). He was baptised at St Luke's, Chelsea, where Dickens would later be married. Nearly all of his childhood was spent in France, where his father became the Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, and the family home "became the centre of a liberal and artistic circle of both French people and expatriates" (Summerwill), and where he first met William Makepeace Thackeray. He was still a boy then, and enjoyed the company of the author, who was good at keeping children amused. His own talent was for painting, and, at the young age of 14, he entered the highly prestigious atelier of the French artist Paul Delaroche. Later on, he attended classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts too. When Delaroche went to Rome in 1843, he took three of his pupils, including Crowe, with him. Crowe's friendship with one of the other pupils, Jean-Léon Gérôme, would last a lifetime.
Crowe's mother, sisters and youngest brother George also went to Rome, but the family was reunited in Hampstead in the following year, when his father became a leader-writer for the Morning Chronicle. Here, despite all his previous training, Crowe entered the Royal Academy Schools, where he was friendly with future members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. More important for his future career, as it turned out, was the fact that Thackeray now took him under his wing. Engaging Crowe as his children's drawing-master, the author asked him to copy his illustrations to Notes of a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo (1845) to woodblocks, and later to assist him with the text for Louis Marvy's engravings of Sketches after English Landscape Painters (1850).
Cover of With Thackeray in America (Scribner's ed. 1893)
Eyre was still finding it hard to make a name for himself as an artist. According to his Times obituary, he "wrote rather better than he painted," so when his father became editor of the Daily News in 1849, he was taken on as the paper's art critic. In April 1851, Thackeray, then writing The History of Henry Esmond employed him on more formally as his secretary. Crowe remained with him when his father took his wife and younger children back to France in 1852, and then accompanied the novelist on his six-month lecture tour of America — an experience he recorded in With Thackeray in America (1893).
After this, Crowe's inspiration and career as a painter both began to pick up. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and Kathryn Summerwill writes of "a remarkable 52-year unbroken period during which at least one of his pictures graced the walls of the Academy in each year." The Times particularly praised his series of paintings in the 1875 exhibition, including Dinner Hour, Wigan and Sheep-Shearing Match, which depicted scenes of "actual life to which this painter has, laudably, of late devoted himself ... and so deserved the thanks due to all who honestly delineate, with adequate skill, the things about them." It is not glowing praise (he is granted only "adequate skill") but it is a recognition, and, at long last, Eyre was elected ARA in 1876.
By now, Eyre had acquired a solid standing in the art world. From 1859 right up until 1900, he was an Inspector of government art schools, and from 1881 until 1907, he was an examiner of students' artworks. He was also one of the artists chosen to decorate the future Victoria and Albert Museum, designing (for example) the mosaics of Hogarth and Sir Christopher Wren for the south courts (see Hopson), and advising on its art acquisitions.
Crowe's connection with Thackeray continued through his sister Amy, who married Thackeray's cousin. When the couple both died in India, their children were brought up by Thackeray's daughters. Crowe himself never married. At one point, J. P. Hopson describes him as "a sociable bachelor" who was a regular presence in the Reform Club. But he outlived his contemporaries at the Royal Academy, and, according to his Times obituary, his own fame. In these later years he became "quiet and retiring." He died after an operation at the age of 86, and was buried in his father's grave at Kensal Green cemetery. — Jacqueline Banerjee

New York residents may not be surprised to learn that inexperienced motorists are more likely to be involved in an accident than those who have spent decades behind the wheel, but they may be shocked to learn just how much of a danger teen drivers represent to other road users. Data compiled by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reveals that accidents involving teen drivers claimed 2,927 lives in 2013, and individuals other than the teen motorist made up about two thirds of these fatalities.
The safety group released its findings at the beginning of the busy summer driving season when teens are most likely to be out and about on the nation's roads. The researchers looked at accident data collected between 1994 and 2013, and they found that when teen drivers crashed, occupants of the other vehicles involved suffered about half of the injuries and 30 percent of the fatalities. Occupants of the teen's vehicle made up 17 percent of those injured and 27 percent of those who lost their lives.
Fatalities among teen drivers and their passengers surge by more than 40 percent during the summer months, and the AAA has long advocated graduated driving license schemes and more comprehensive driver education to reduce accident, injury and fatality rates. Lawmakers and educators in many states have heeded this advice, and crashes involving teen drivers decreased by more than half between 1995 and 2015.
Those who are injured in an accident caused by a negligent teen driver may pursue civil remedies, but minors rarely have the resources necessary to pay significant damages. New York state law allows vehicle owners to be sued when others, who have been given permission to use their vehicles, behave recklessly and cause an accident, and personal injury attorneys may sometimes initiate lawsuits against the parents of negligent teen drivers or their insurance providers on behalf of accident victims.

Christmas is a celebration of joy and the season of gifts andsharing, and to make the season special, around 90 bikers have decided to travel from Bandra Kurla Complex to the old-age home Assisi Bhavan in Goregaon spreading love and happiness on December 23.
"We have put together some money, and we will head to Assisi Bhavan with Christmas gifts for the elderly as well as those who run the place. We will also host a luncheon, spend a few hours with the members and organise a few entertainment events," says Sheldon Pinto, captain of the ride. Sheldon, who is fondly called Father Sheldon by the club members, will be dressed as Santa and will distribute gifts.
"It's Christmas, a season of caring and giving. We want to spread the joy and share our happiness with the elderly who have been left behind. Most people have been kept at the old-age home because their families can't keep them. We wanted to give them something special, and nothing seemed better than a surprise visit," he adds.
Sheldon says that the group will also be singing Christmas carols for the members of the Assisi Bhavan. The Bison Riders will start their journey from 10 am at BKC and the ride is open to all Bullet bike owners. "We are open to Bullet riders from any part of Mumbai. There's no registration fee either. All you got to do is ride with us and share happiness," adds Sheldon.
From: BKC to Assisi Bhavan, Goregaon (E).

The first step we take is to give your laptop PC a spring clean Health Check plus we also remove any viruses we find.
The third step is to upgrade your laptop PC's memory (RAM) or if it's due to overheating, resolve your overheating problem.


As someone commented on SparkPeople – Life is what happens while we're making plans.
Early in May we both signed up for the MSBike even in October. His plan was to ride 100 miles on Saturday and another 40 or 50 on Sunday. I figured I would try 40 on Saturday and see what I felt like on Sunday.
We got out for a ride in early June and it went pretty well. If we had kept to a real training schedule we would be in great shape for the MS ride. But training takes time and we kept running out of that.
I was still on track to do 40 miles on Saturday and then see if I did 35 or 20 on Sunday. After our last ride where DH called for a pick up at 50 miles I convinced him not to do the 100 miles for the MS Ride. He talked about the 80 mile but then was considering the 40 mile with me.
This week was very rushed but this morning between meetings and other stuff I did manage to lay out our clothes, bike clothes, shoes, helmets, towels, sleeping bags, etc… so we could pack this afternoon.
Work has been hectic all week with a review coming next week, but I thought we would be in good shape by today. Then they started pulling in last minute stuff that has to be done before Monday morning. Next thing I know I'm on the phone until 7:30 pm with more planned for Saturday morning.
I finally took a few minutes to talk to DH about the options and we decided it just made more sense for him to go on down to Greenville tonight and be ready for the bike ride tomorrow. I will stay here and do my work.
I'm kind of sad that I won't be doing the ride after preparing for it and telling so many people about it. But it also solves some problems with other things that had to be covered this weekend. Now I can do those things and have some time to myself. For example – we needed to mow the yard, because we need to mow again this coming Thurs or Fri before traveling for 9 days. We have a friend staying the house, but she won't be mowing our yard. Plus, my nephew called to chat for about 30 minutes Friday and I wouldn't have been here for that. And the substitute to run the sound system at church is ill and shouldn't be worrying about the sound system this weekend.
As my new favorite quote says "What should have happened did" so no regrets, just noticing how the best laid plans don't always work out.
On the up side, I haven't been for a run in a week and I was able to get out Saturday morning and enjoy being back on the road.

Q: JS: Alphabetizing list of radio buttons by label.text() after appending new radio button from text input Edit
Now the new radio button is sorted correctly into the dropdown menu but only the first one. The new button is simply appended to the last node in all other lists.
I have a dynamic table that allows a user to view details on images they've uploaded. This includes the ability to either create a new album (and move upload to that album) or move an upload to another album they've previously created.
I've done this using radio buttons inside dropdown menus (one for each upload) with a text box where each time a new album is created, a corresponding label and input element is appended to each dropdown list.

Here is the order of events I desire:
1.Create new album. Upload is moved to new album.
2. Label and input elements for the new album are appended to each dropdown radio list.
3. Radio list is ordered by label text and displayed to viewer in each dropdown menu.
I know this will involve Javascript or Jquery, I don't mind either as I'm new to JS in general and want to learn. I have tried several sort functions I found on StackOverflow but none of them seem to apply to my unique table with dropdown radio list requirements.
Currently, the list is unsorted once I add a new radio button and the new radio button is only appended to the end of the first dropdown menu in the table.
Here is my HTML:

                        New Album
                            <input type='radio' name='new_album_radio'  class='new-album-radio'/>

                            <input type='text' name='new_album' class='new-album-text' id='txt-<?= esc($row->viewkey); ?>'/>

                            <button class='new-album-button' data-viewkey='<?= $row->viewkey; ?>'>Create</button>

                            <?php if (! empty($albums)) {
                                foreach ($albums as $album) { ?>

                                        <?= esc($album->album_name); ?>

                                        <i class="fa-solid fa-xmark" data-viewkey='<?= esc($row->viewkey); ?>' data-album='<?= esc($row->album_name); ?>'>

                                        <input type='radio' name='album_radio' value='<?= $album->album_name; ?>' class='album-radio' data-viewkey='<?= esc($row->viewkey); ?>'/>

                            <?php }} ?>

And here is my javascript:
function addNewRadioItem(viewkey, albumName) {
            var containers = document.querySelectorAll('.album-list')

            // Create new album radio in dropdown menu
            var label = document.createElement('label');
            var input = document.createElement('input');
            var span = document.createElement('span');

            label.setAttribute('class', 'album-select');
            label.innerHTML += albumName+' ';

            input.setAttribute('type', 'radio');
            input.setAttribute('name', 'album_radio');
            input.setAttribute('class', 'album-radio');
            input.setAttribute('value', albumName);
            input.setAttribute('data-viewkey', viewkey);
            input.setAttribute('checked', 'checked');

            span.setAttribute('class', 'checkmark');

            label.appendChild(input);
            label.appendChild(span);

            //container.appendChild(label);
            $(containers).append(label);
    }

    function sortNewRadio() {
        var albumList = $('#album-list');
        var listItems = albumList.children('label').get();

        listItems.sort(function(a, b) {
            var A = $(a).text().toUpperCase();
            var B = $(b).text().toUpperCase();

            return A.localeCompare(B);
        })

        albumList.empty().append(listItems);
    }

In function sortNewRadio() the console.log(arr) output looks funny, the appended radio button is not the same as the other radio buttons. Here is a screenshot of that.

A: I have figured it out! I needed to define a class name for the album lists, then use a for loop to iterate through each list's children nodes to sort.
Here is the final javascript:

The Architect – An Endangered Species?
The professional architect, in South Africa today, is facing the most trying times since at least the advent of democracy in 1994.
In recent times, a clear lack of understanding and appreciation of the role that the professional architect plays in the entire built environment has emerged. Making the situation more dire is the fact that both the clients (private, government, and so on) and fellow professionals in the built environment have constantly questioned the value an architect brings to any development project.
In addition, the practice environment in which architects ply their trade has become unconducive to excelling in the profession. The lack of Identification of Work, challenges with the professional fees − where architects are squeezed to reduce their fees beyond survival means − has plunged the profession into a terrible state. The conduct of the South African Council for the Architectural Profession, which has everyone up in arms, has not helped matters at all.
Given such a hostile environment, the South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) has its work cut out. Engagement with the Competition Commission is currently underway in order to hear each other pertaining to the differences on how the Identification of Work could still be promulgated and not be interpreted as industry collusion. The Competition Commission has granted us an audience and we will be able to communicate the outcome of our engagements within the next few weeks. Furthermore, a fee calculator initiative is in the process of being introduced in order to aid the functioning of professional architects.
SAIA will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that there is widespread appreciation of the role and value profession architects bring to the built environment. We will not allow the professional architect, as an endangered species, to go into extinction. The general public, the government, media, and fellow professionals in the built environment need to be educated on the role and usefulness of architects. This is a task we at SAIA have to undertake as no one else will spread this message for us.
