US bond yields drop as Chinese data weighs on risk appetite
Shoaib Ur Rehman 08 Mar, 2016
NEW YORK: US Treasury yields fell on Tuesday in line with Japanese yields after weak Chinese data revived fears of a global economic slowdown, increasing demand for safe-haven US government debt ahead of a 3-year note auction.
Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note and on the 30-year bond fell from one-month highs overnight after data showed China's February trade performance was far worse than economists had expected.
Exports in the world's second-largest economy fell 25.4 percent, the most in over six years and twice as much as markets had feared.
The data weighed on risk assets and in Japan, the 30-year Japanese government bond yield sank to a fresh record low after firm demand at an auction of the maturity added bids.
"The combination of weak Chinese data and low Japanese yields has precipitated a significant flattening of the curve with the long bond leading the way," said Aaron Kohli, an interest rate strategist at BMO Capital Markets in New York.
Concerns about a slowdown in the Chinese economy and its effects on other markets as well as over bank exposures to the energy sector boosted demand for lower-risk assets earlier this year.
"The overnight price action from JGBs combined with Chinese data and easing prospects from the ECB on Thursday are making investors pay attention to global factors that will keep Treasuries supported," said Stanley Sun, interest rate strategist at Nomura Securities International in New York.
The European Central Bank is expected to push interest rates further into negative territory and make an adjustment to its bond-buying program on Thursday.
But after the bank disappointed many in markets in December, traders are wary of making major bets prior to the meeting. Demand for safer assets will likely be seen at auctions held by the Treasury Department this week. Later in the day, the Treasury will sell $24 billion of 3-year notes.
"US Treasuries still look pretty darn good in relation to much of what's happening in the rest of the world," said Kohli. The Treasury will also sell $20 billion of 10-year notes on Wednesday and $12 billion of 30-year bonds on Thursday.
The benchmark 10-year note yield was last up 26/32 in price to yield 1.811 percent, down from 1.904 percent late on Monday.
The 30-year bond was last up 1-28/32 in price to yield 2.608 percent, down from 2.703 percent late on Monday.

Govt to buy sanitary pads for disadvantaged girls
The Government will spend Shs200million to buy sanitary pads for disadvantaged girls in primary schools in the country in the 2013/2014 financial year..
The Ministry of Education has already identified 678,770 (class6-8) vulnerable girls in 9,161 schools drawn from 165 districts to benefit from this, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi has disclosed.
The disclosure was mad in a speech read on his behalf by the Acting Director of Administration in the Ministry of Education, Mrs. E. Khaoya during launch of the National Sanitary Towels School Programme at Loboso Primary School Marigat Sub-County in Baringo County yesterday
The launch was presided over by the First Lady, Mrs. Margaret Kenyatta. Several organizations, among them African Cotton Industries, Royal Media Services among other helped organize the vent dubbed Inua Dada.
The First Lady expressed concern that one million girls miss at least 4 days of schooling every month due to maturation factors.
"As a result, they lose up to one and a half months of pupil/teacher contact time," she noted, saying the nation requires addressing the problem urgently.
Prof. Kaimenyi said the country allocated Shs5240million during the 2011/2012, and the 2012/2013 financial year in providing sanitary towels to girls.
It benefited benefiting 443,858 girls in public primary schools from 82 targeted districts in the 2011/2012 financial year, he noted, adding that some 472,693 disadvantaged girls in public primary and 11,664 girls from special primary and secondary schools in 124 districts in 44 Counties benefited in the 2012/2013 financial year.

The Great Famine in Galway
Galway Advertiser / NewsThu, Jun 16, 2011
Like most towns in Ireland, Galway was used to food shortages; they had occurred here in 1816, 1817, 1822, 1831, and in 1842 there were food riots in the city. Nobody, however, was prepared for what happened in 1845 when the potato crop failed. As winter approached, the situation did not seem any worse than usual, though people were concerned about food being exported from the docks while there was a shortage locally.

GH Alum Sebastian Roché Joins the Cast of BIG SKY
Sebastian Roché
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Congratulations to GENERAL HOSPITAL alum Sebastian Roché (ex-Jerry) on landing yet another juicy primetime role, this time on ABC drama BIG SKY! "Been having a blast on BIG SKY as Sheriff Wagy," the actor told fans on Instagram. "He's quite the character…"
The crime thriller, created by David E. Kelly, focuses on a private detective and ex-cop whose search for two missing sisters in Montana leads them to uncover a much bigger crime. Roché's character is the Lochsa County Sheriff whose motives are questioned when his apparent hospitality and generosity end up obstructing Cassie and Jenny's investigation at every turn.
Since leaving GH, Roché has found great success in primetime with roles on series like THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, THE YOUNG POPE, VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, and BATWOMAN. He is also currently appearing on the NBC sci-fi series DEBRIS, so the daytime alum is being kept quite busy these days!
Roché is very good at playing bad!ABC
Daytime fans remember Roché fondly as the villainous — yet still somehow charming — Jerry Jacks, a role he took over from Julian Stone in 2007 and portrayed on and off over the years until 2015. Jerry isn't dead, but is no longer in Steimnauer after he escaped the prison in 2019. So if the villain wanted to return to Port Charles to stir up more trouble — as soap villains often do — GH would probably have to recast, given Roché's resounding success in primetime.
But be sure to tune in to watch when Roché makes his debut later in the first season of BIG SKY and keep an eye out for him on DEBRIS, too!
Love GH? Be sure to join our We Love General Hospital Facebook group to chat about all the latest storylines and juicy gossip!

During the course we'll look at a series of different types of illusions, from perspective drawings to stereographs, from anamorphic distortions to persistence of vision toys, from sleight of hand magic to modern special effects. We'll examine the cultural history and meaning of each illusion as well as learning about its technical underpinnings. Through a series of in-class demonstrations and hands-on activities, you'll learn some of the practical techniques required to use these illusions in your own artistic and interactive projects. Through art historical lectures and discussions you'll gain inspiration and new context for your own work.


The iSoftStone team chose to leverage the Azure platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering to build a web app service to consume the backbone submission service API built on Azure. Building on Azure eased lifecycle management by simplifying continuous integration and development practices through microservices and deep integration with Visual Studio. The development team also introduced BI tagging into the file submission process using JSL tags. This would allow for proprietary metrics such as page views and basic user tracking. The first iteration of the new security portal launched in June, 2017 with much success and user satisfaction.

Minister of State for External Affairs, General VK Singh, also former Army chief, flew to Juba, the capital city of South Sudan, early Thursday morning with two C-17 Globemaster Indian Air Force aircrafts. He is personally leading the operation to evacuate more than 600 Indians stuck in the war torn nation.
156 rescued people arrived at the Thiruvananthpuram International Airport early on Friday while the other aircraft is scheduled to land in New Delhi later in the day. Among those rescued are 46 Keralaites, 2 Nepalese Nationals, & women and three children. There government of Kerala has made arrangements for the onward journey of these people.
"There were more than 500 Indians evacuated. Over 300 Indians will continue to stay there for their business interests. About 150 Indians are there who work in the oil wells and for them it's easier to go towards Sudan where there are not many issues. While I was there, I spoke to the vice president of South Sudan and he told me what they are doing with regards the safety of the people there," said General Singh speaking to the media.
This is not the first time when General Singh has been directly involved in a high risk evacuation operation. In 2015, Mr Singh successfully led Operation Rahat when Indian Armed Forces safely evacuated more than 5,500 Indian citizens and foreign nationals of 41 countries from Yemen during a military intervention by Saudi Arabia and its allies.
General V K Singh has emerged as a true ambassador of the Indian armed forces and its commitment to the nation. We, at Entertales salute General Singh for his commendable services and hope that he keeps doing the good work for many more years to come.

A quiet street in central London, a creamy Regency façade…
What lies behind it?
A simple question, but not, as we will discover, one that can be easily answered.
"A brand new London terrace comprising 84 superb apartments with 95 underground parking spaces, finished to an exemplary standard and offering a level of convenience and luxury designed to meet the exacting demands of the modern market," says the glossy brochure from Savills, Selling Agents. They are the gatekeepers of this strange hybrid, controlling our access into the elegant shell o Thomas Cubitt's 1835 terrace. They are anxious to be helpful. A video informs us of the flats' comfort and convenience, their prime location. A show flat demonstrates how they might be furnished in tasteful, Georgianish-ish style: bathrooms and kitchens are already fitted and equipped, carpets laid. What are we waiting for?
It is a tight squeeze in the stairwell. Steps wind up and up, to realms once thought fit only for servants, tucked away under the eaves. The smell of carpet catches the throat in the confined space. A brass furnished door swings open. Apartment type H, floor area 944sq. ft, is on two levels, with two bathrooms, kitchens, living room, three bedrooms… All the listed features are in place, but all is not as it seemed in the pictures. Where are the umbrella stands and parallel couches, the varnished bread and bathroom pot-pourri? What has happened to those careful furniture arrangements which made so much of the "available entertaining space" and strove to suggest that a couple, their friends, even their children could occupy this tiny dwelling in perfect happiness? Inside this apartment, the silence of taste has been shattered. This interior will not shut up. It cries and groans, its objects offer themselves not as the polished accoutrements of a dream world but as the articulators of questions, which, even if they can never be answered, demand to be heard.
Ignore for a moment the sound of smashing crockery which seems to be coming from the kitchen and a more muffled, obscure noise from upstairs, and steps into the Reception Room, picking your way past an object occupying prime floor space. What is it, this elegant but not immediately recognisable shape? It appears to be a case, but a case for what? Its grammar—stitched leatherette covering, chrome metal clips, bulbous form—is that of the musical instrument case, but its shape is unique. Its maker, Hadrian Pigott, calls it an instrument of hygiene. Undoing the clips left invitingly open reveals a rich red velvet interior and a nestling hand basin, waste pipe and soap included, ready to make a performance of washing. In the downstairs bathroom immediately opposite the front door, Pigott has provided a row of six toilet rolls mounted on a faux marble slab, their pastel colours—mauve, pale yellow, pale pink, white, pale green, orange—carefully graded, their redundant diversity a demonstration of Choice.
On the Reception Room wall, Alan Curry's Monitor seems to offer the comfort of the functional. These chipboard blocks, these melamine finishes must surely serve some purpose? But something has gone wrong. The logic of the kitchen unit has been disrupted, its promise of order remains unfulfilled. Nothing can be stored or disposed of in these seeming practical receptacles, nothing placed on these wipe down surfaces, studded with questioning holes. The narrative of construction has been misplaced, both as practical storage space and as minimal art. Curry enjoys playing against formal languages and concepts such as truth to materials by engaging in perverse practices such as carving chipboard. "The erasure of the self is not possible… the self remains the virus in the system."* The ordered, cramped space of the show flat, with its predicated behaviours and expectations may lead to confrontation and antagonism, because no space is offered to exhibit the self. "The suppression present in these walls indicates an acceptance of certain types of control," Curry observed, pointing out that the development of modernism, the root of "functional" design, included an oppositional position in relation to the established order. Now, however, the language of modernism too has been fractured. "Sculptures," no matter how minimal, "are empty without selves behind them…"
In an awkward corner where the ceiling takes an alarming swoop down towards the floor, Neil Cummings has fitted a specially made cupboard, shelved and interior lit, in which a collection of used plastic bottles is displayed. Noting the choice of a pseudo Georgian style of interior décor in the entrance way and show flat, "trying to make some sort of Georgian flat towards the end of the twentieth century, using building techniques from high volume council housing," Cummings made the cupboard to mimic Georgian furniture, but using cardboard. "Only the shape gives it authority… the context that you find things in gives them a meaning." Cummings believes "it is impossible to make a dumb sign," and works with a complicated layering of references set up to establish a particular range of relationships, in this case, "inserting something in the show flat which is extremely domestic but which shows a display of things you would otherwise ignore," old plastic bottles which have all passed through Cummings' own house. Although arguing that the "faith" which allowed people to make abstract sculpture is gone, Cummings believes that bringing things which are otherwise ignored into specific relationships, however temporary, paying careful attention to examples plucked from the great sea of things which characterises late twentieth century consumer culture, can be of value. "Objects from the world of use might offer some hope for us, helping us to consider how we live."
Back through the entrance hall, a handsome chair sitting by the open plan kitchen seems emblematic of traditional values—a carver's chair, used by the master of the house when he sits at the head of the table presiding over Sunday lunch, Sunday lunch in an open plan kitchen, a kitchen filled with the sound o shattering china… The master's chair is made of wood, solid and dependable, its arms spread out to accommodate the user, an embroidered seat cover adding a touch of colour, its complex pattern not immediately readably. Images of male genitalia, for that is what the pattern is, are "so hidden we do not recognise them," Rebecca Scott believes. If they are seen, it tends to be I the context of pornography, rising erect from their often bemused looking hosts, who can seem almost perplexed at their own virility. Scott's large paintings of make nudes based on pornographic playing cards, were described as "disgusting" by several male viewers, who declared that they did not know how she could have borne to look at, far less recreate, such images. By rendering them through knitting, she describes herself as striving to soften the phallic imagine, make it part of a female vocabulary of visual pleasure. She also enjoys the humour of bringing together the notion of the "old spinster sitting at home knitting squares for Oxfam" working penis patterns as she daydreams over her needles. Upstairs, matching cushions are scattered in the eponymous master bedroom.
But what of the master's bed? Graham Plumb's Airbed lies naked on the floor, its clear plastic pierced by drain fittings which both articulates and threaten its form, defined only by air. If the pump stops, the bed collapses, as its constant sound, like the rhythm of breathing, suggests. There is little comfort to be found in this bed, its centrality to the cycle of birth and death undermined by the fragility of its construction. Like the master, it can crumple at any moment… Plumb enjoys playing with formal devices such as grids to alter the presence of familiar objects, where instead of increasing a feeling of stability, they may do the opposite, creating unease, a feeling of threat. The viewer, compelled to listen to the "breathing bed" feels the breath in their own lungs, the catch in the throat.
In the en-suite bathroom, Hadrian Pigott has thoughtfully provided 18 cakes of soap each inscribed with the name of a part of the body in the order of its washing. Stretched out in the bath, he would begin with the feet. "Under siege, I take refuge in the bathroom," there to ponder the contradictions of cleanliness and the foul materials—animal fat and caustic soda—with which it is achieved. Like the dubious comfort of the mattress outside, the bath itself, which promises the resurrection of cleansing, offers no lasting peace. "Western notions of hygiene are fatally flawed—we flush things 'away,' but there is no 'away'…"
In the second bedroom, a strange tableau awaits. Jacqueline Pennell likes to work with difficult spaces, "the naff rooms nobody wants," investigating them to discover the secrets of the discomfort they inspire. The installations and objects which result are often disturbing, drawing the viewer into a state of psychological unease and provoking unexpected emotions such as sadness or fear, opening old wounds. In the show flat, she felt constrained by the smallness of the room and the requirement to keep its surfaces clean and untouched. Her solution was to construct "a little glass box like an incubator." Within its glass walls, everything the room might hold has been concentrated in miniature. A tiny bed is covered by a full size sheet folded over and over. Over the bed hands a clock, its hand taped together, the second hand still twitching. The cable from a single light bulb inside the box is the only connection between the room and the room within the room. The sheets of glass are held together with sticking plaster. "Their wounds are holding them up," says Pennell, in whose glacial incubator nothing grows, only decay.
There is one more bedroom. It is tinier still. It is empty save from a toy pig and a nightlight. From the big, a strange sound emerges, a combination of animal grunting and human female sounds, sexual sounds. Alexandra McGlynn is interested in exploring the mediation of sexuality and the suppression of sexuality in the family. Perhaps the man of the house might visit a prostitute, bringing the traces of her street based, night-time trade into the enclosed world of the home, where the children lie in tiny rooms with a nightlight for comfort. McGlynn takes photographs, shooting night-time street scenes in natural light, intrigued by the shift between daytime mundanity and the mysterious possibilities of the night. She has played recordings of prostitutes touting for business through hidden speakers in a "respectable" street and, hidden, spied on the results. Here she brings the cadence spreading from public to private space. Their rhythm is counter-pointed by the sound of china smashing.
Back down in the kitchen, a video is playing. In Leave them, I'll do them later, by Orla Ryan, mugs of coffee are smashed against a white kitchen wall, the dark liquid running down the one clean surface, the broken china piling up on the brown work-surface. Sound and vision are slowed down. The tape repeats, every two minutes, in an endless litany of mundane destruction, an expression of everyday rage.
Since the beginning of this century, the world has ceased to be a place where appearances could be taken for granted. In Europe, Picasso and Braque invented Cubism and the way we saw changed. Duchamp signed the urinal and the meaning of objects shifted. Freud smoked his pipe and listened as the dark secrets of family life tumbled out of their silence. The use of aerial bombardment made the home a target, for both sides, in the Second World War.
When systems are challenged, equilibrium is broken. Once shifted, foundations cannot be set back. One question asked suggests another, one revelation creates the need for the next. The process of inquiry seems unstoppable, and security of all kinds, personal and political, begins to fragment.
The home itself has been destabilised, first by bombs, and in the immediate past decade, by a shifting of social values engineered by government which transformed it from a place of permanence to one of transience, its value fixed not in stability but in exchange. Its occupants, those families who were told their "values" were the bedrock of social organisation, have had them sorely tried by job losses and benefit cuts. Individuals have been set adrift, and abuse and neglect have replaced self-sacrifice and care. Walls have crumbled, and nothing is sacred.
Young artists, the clear-eyed children of such cruel times, have learned their lesson. What you see may not be quite what you get, what you hear may be designed to deceive. There is no longer any such place as safe ground.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award at Scarborough College is thriving. A licensed DofE centre, we continue to break records year-on-year with the number of Awards achieved by our pupils. At any given time we have 50 pupils doing their DofE and with expeditions to the nearby North York Moors, the Howardian Hills and Yorkshire Dales; it is easy to see why.
a licensed dofe centre
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to challenge themselves in terms of self-discipline, fitness and teamwork. However, the DofE is also about giving something back to the community and it is about friendships – creating new ones and solidifying existing ones. Pupils explore new places and new skills on their Duke of Edinburgh's expeditions during which they can also explore their own independence.
Scarborough College is now a licensed Duke of Edinburgh centre in its own right, with a team of dedicated staff who assist in various ways, but particularly in support of the very successful expedition programme.
The Bronze Award becomes available to students in Year 9, however, the majority of students begin the Award in Year 10. The expedition training programme runs throughout the Autumn Term and expeditions start during the Easter holiday, running until the end of August.
Destinations for the expeditions include Wales or the Lake District for the Gold groups, the Yorkshire Dales or North York Moors for the Silver groups while the Bronze groups take to the East Yorkshire Wolds or North York Moors.


As of April 2019 there is currently JUST ONE 8-monitor video card on the market. This is a speciality card from Matrox and is meant for mission critical environment (which is why it is much more expensive then other 6-monitor cards) like information centers (Police, NASA, airports, train stations, etc) as well as commercial applications like video walls in commercial centers and so forth.
NOTE: An 8-monitor video card is for you if money is not a problem and/or you want a minimal computer / many of those cards, if you want a low power system, or any of the above-specified cases (usually medium to large corporations, governements, etc). Otherwise, you might want to look at my other selections of top multi-monitor cards that will be less expensive and maybe better suited to you.
NOTE: One of the main advantage of using this more expensive card is for people that are building video walls, they can use one or many of those cards in ONE computer to drive an up to 24 displays video wall. This is less expensive than having a complex array of 2 or 3 computers / systems that sync together to acheive the same results with less capable cards.

Buckeyes try to regain control as NCAA Tournament opens
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) On the eve of the NCAA Tournament, the Ohio State Buckeyes are still trying to shake off the shock and disappointment of their late-season swoon.
Ohio State, once ranked as high as No. 5 nationally, had stacked up an 11-game winning streak going into the last week of the season and were vying for a piece of the regular-season Big Ten crown. Instead OSU dropped overtime games to Minnesota and Michigan State.
Then the Buckeyes lost their second-best player, senior guard Ameryst Alston, to a wrist injury in the Big Ten Tournament. Without her, they were run over by Michigan State in a quarterfinal tournament game. They dropped in the poll to No. 9.
Alston, who averaged 18.6 points during the season, likely will play in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament Friday afternoon in Columbus. The No. 3 seed Buckeyes (24-7) face No. 14 Buffalo (20-13).
''Obviously, I think that last game showed how much she means, from a leadership standpoint and on the floor,'' said senior guard Cait Craft. ''To have her back out there (Friday) will be a big deal.''
Ohio State's fortunes also tend to turn on the play of sophomore guard Kelsey Mitchell. An incredible 3-point threat, Mitchell led the team with an average of 25.7 points per game. She had three 40-point games this season and is fourth in the country in scoring.
Buffalo is paced by a pair of swift guards, junior Joanna Smith (18.1 ppg) and sophomore Stephanie Reed (10.5 ppg).
The opening game in Columbus on Friday pits No. 6 seed West Virginia (24-9) against No. 11 Princeton (23-5), with the winners of both games advancing to play each other on Sunday. The survivor will move to play in the regional in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
In the first game, West Virginia is the bigger and stronger team, known for playing smothering defense. At 6-foot-5, center Lanay Montgomery is a dominating force inside. Senior guard Bria Holmes averaged 16.4 points per game for the Mountaineers.
''They're a great team,'' said Princeton senior forward Annie Tarakchian. ''They're long, they're fast, they're physical, so that definitely stood out. I think as a team we're going to have to be poised and play the way we know how to play.''
Princeton, which lost by 20 points to Ohio State Dec. 18, is paced by Tarakchian and 6-foot-2 center Alex Wheatley. Both averaged around 12 points per game this season.
TOURNAMENT TIDBITS
West Virginia: The Mountaineers are making their 11th NCAA Tournament appearance and the first since being a No. 2 seed in 2014. They've reached the postseason 12 times in 15 seasons under coach Mike Carey.
Princeton: Some of the Princeton players have some famous bloodlines. Sophomore forward Leslie Robinson is President Barack Obama's niece. Her father is Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's brother. Freshman guard Jordan Muhammad is the daughter of former NFL wide receiver Muhsin Mohammad, and freshman guard Qalea Ismail's dad is former NFL wide receiver Qadry Ismael.
Ohio State: The Buckeyes' usual home court, the Schottenstein Center, is occupied with the state boys high school basketball tournament games this weekend, so the pair of first-round games are being played at venerable St. John Arena. Ohio State is making its 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance.
Buffalo: The Bulls are making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. After finishing third in the Mid-American Conference East Division, they won their first ever conference tournament, beating Central Michigan in overtime.


NESoid the best Nintendo 8-bit NES game emulator for Android Google Phones, G1, HTC, NEXUS ONE etc.
There are a lot of people who are huge fans of the T-Mobile's G1 and other Google Android Phones, however, there is a possibility that not everyone would be able to say that the kind of games selected are of exceptional quality. It could even be considered that it would be too good to be true to actually say such thing. However, the good thing is that Android now has a NES emulator that is more reliable than ever.
NES roms on android phones The new innovation is more popularly known as the "Nesoid". Despite of the fact that some people are not in favor of actually spending for a software program for emulation, still it is to everyone's advantage that the said software is priced at two bucks. Apart from this, people may try to go for the trial version first which allows players to try the game Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers.
With regard to the support for the NES ROMs, it is interesting to know that the Nesoid would be able to run to almost any kind of NES ROMs. At the same time, there is a feature wherein it allows the user to save any game that is being played. Through this, you would be able to play the particular stage or level where you stopped the moment that you make use of Nesoid again.
You would also be able to make use of Nesoid for purposes of playing music or other kinds of sounds. It should only be taken into consideration that there may be times like for instance if you are going to play games that are more intricate over the others, like Super Mario Bros. 3, the sound could become choppy, but the good thing is that you may turn off the sound, and this in turn improves the framerates. If you are going to make use of Cupcake, it would surely be more appropriate because if you are going to listen to the sound, it is going to be smoother than before.
As for the controls being used, it could be considered as above average, however, it is not that exceptional. The trackball may not be used in anyway, and it could have been better if it could actually be used because similar to its control pad, it would be of great help to the game play. Some of the settings for the keys that must be kept in mind include A, 1, Q, as well as W if there is a need to go up, and then down, and for doing left and right movements. For the buttons A and B, the keys O and P must be used. The delete button must be used for select, and the enter button may be used for starting the game. But you may still make changes to this configuration.
GBAoid or GameBoid allows you to play with power, and to be precise it is 32 bits. This emulator handles a variety of handheld games without a sweat.
It carries with it essential options such as completely customizable controls, cheats, save states, fast forward, etc. However, you need to source your very own BIOS file. For more information, you may check out our dedicated tutorial. Ideal games to play: Final Fantasy Tactics, Wario Ware: Mega Microgames, Mega Man Zero, Pokemon emulator games.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable when you first begin using dentures. Dentures are new to your mouth; hence, you will experience slight gum irritation and difficulty in speaking and eating. However, as you wear your dentures every day, you will get accustomed to having false teeth in your mouth. Soon enough, your dentures will feel very comfortable; it will feel as if they've always been a part of you. Here are helpful tips to help you get used to wearing dentures.
Sleep with your dentures in place when using them for the first time. This will greatly help you adjust to your new false teeth. The mouth identifies dentures as a foreign object; hence, wearing it while you sleep can give you a head start in the adjustment phase. Take note that this is the only time that you are advised to sleep with your dentures.
Speak a lot with your dentures. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. What better way to get adjusted well to speaking with dentures than to speak a lot, more than your usual verbal chatter. This is a good time to talk often with your pet or read the newspaper out loud. Practice speaking challenging words and phrases, and soon enough, you'll be speaking more comfortably and clearly with your false teeth.
Take it easy on eating. Since you're new to having dentures in your mouth, you are advised to eat soft foods and avoid those that are difficult to chew. Foods that are sticky must, likewise, be avoided as this can adhere to your dentures. Take small bites during meals and chew your food slowly. Try to use both sides of your mouth when chewing food for balance and symmetry. In time, eating with your dentures will become a breeze.
Take advantage of a dental adhesive. This is a product used to keep your false teeth in place and help you get through the adjustment phase. Keeping dentures stable is a common concern of first-time denture users. Thus, dental adhesives help make your dentures feel more stable and secure when you eat, speak or smile.
Wearing dentures for the first time can be a trying experience for some patients. Lower dentures, most especially, can be quite a challenge because they have the tendency to budge and move more than upper dentures. With the above techniques combined with determination and patience, adjusting to your false teeth will happen soon than you know. In time, any discomfort will subside and you will feel more comfortable with the dentures in your mouth.
We know how it feels when using dentures for the first time. The initial feeling is a combination of discomfort and uneasiness that is very normal since the mouth considers dentures to be a foreign object. However, trust us when we say that you will overcome this stage eventually. We will make every effort to help you get through the adjustment phase as quickly as possible.

LPU jumps on winless Mapua to get back on track in NCAA 95
LPU was not going to have a losing skid this early in NCAA 95
Lyceum of the Philippines University bounced back from its shock loss by venting its ire on winless Mapua University, 79-71, Friday at Filoil Flying V Centre.
The Pirates were sunk for the first time in the NCAA 95 Men's Basketball Tournament by upstart Emilio Aguinaldo College. "We're happy that we got back. We grinded it out with Mapua and it was kinda ugly, but we're always going to take the good with the bad," head coach Topex Robinson said post-game.
Three days later, they got a mighty rebound led by, of course, Jaycee Marcelino who had 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals as well as Toci Tansingco who had a season-high 14 markers of his own.
Reymar Caduyac also added an all-around 12 points, seven assists, and five rebounds while Jayson David turned in his best game in maroon and grey with a 10-marker, 12-board double-double.
Without a doubt, last year's runners-up had to work for it as the young Cardinals were still threatening at 65-69 inside the last seven minutes.
It was at that point, though, that Marcelino and Caduyac joined forces for all the points in an 8-1 run that re-increased their lead to 77-66 with 2:57 remaining.
Both the comfortable lead and the momentum would remain with them until the final buzzer.
All of this was much welcome for LPU which improved to 2-1 in the standings. "Personally, I apologized to the team (after the loss). That was a learning experience for me," their mentor said.
For Mapua, rookie recruits fronted the effort with Paolo Hernandez scoring 19 points and five rebounds and Cyril Gonzales having 16 markers, two boards, and two assists. That still proved to be far from enough, however, as they remained winless in three games.

Rouge, vert, bleu, de l'acronyme RVB ou en anglais RGB ) désigne un système de traitement optique, d'affichage électronique ou d'un codage de signal vidéo analogique ou un codage informatique des couleurs.

Pour restituer la perception humaine colorée d'une image, différentes méthodes existent, en peinture, en imprimerie, en projection photographique, vidéo ou en affichage électronique et notamment, grâce au principe de la trichromie.

Ce principe est notamment exploité par un téléviseur, un écran vidéo ou d'ordinateur, lequel reproduit la couleur par synthèse additive, à partir des trois couleurs primaires : rouge, vert et bleu. À l'écran, chaque élément constitutif de l'image vidéo, cellule ou élément luminophore est associé à une valeur de ces couleurs primaires. Chaque élément utilise notamment une intensité lumineuse, dévolue à chacune des trois couleurs ; le codage RVB permet de définir la valeur de la luminance de chacun des « points » en affichage analogique ou « pixels », en affichage numérique, composant l'image vidéo.

D'autres paramètres subjectifs comme la teinte, saturation et luminosité nécessitent des circuits électroniques ou du système informatique, d'évaluer, de calculer et de reproduire ces valeurs.

Le mode RVB peut être exploité par différents appareils et dispositifs grand public ou professionnels tels que téléviseurs, vidéoprojecteurs, magnétoscopes, caméras, caméscopes, lecteurs DVD, enregistreurs vidéo numériques, cartes d'acquisition vidéo d'ordinateurs, convertisseurs, transcodeurs, démodulaleurs ou récepteurs de télévision par satellite ou câble, consoles de jeux vidéo, traitements ou effets spéciaux vidéo...

Description

Infographie

Dans l'univers infographique, la valeur de chacune des couleurs primaires s'exprime dans un intervalle entre 0 et le maximum, lequel est soit, « 1 » ou « 100 % », soit « 255 » ou 0xFF en valeur hexadécimale.

Les trois primaires en quantité égale produisent une valeur de gris ou d'image en noir et blanc et au maximum, génèrent du blanc.

Écran vidéo et format RVB

Depuis l'apparition de la télévision en couleur au début des années 1950 jusqu'à l'affichage numérique des écrans plats couleurs à composants de type LED ou OLED au début des années 2000, le même principe d'affichage de type RVB est exploité.

Dans un téléviseur analogique, le signal vidéocomposite démodulé est électroniquement dématricé en chaque couleur primaire Rouge, Vert et Bleu pour être exploités par le tube cathodique. Un écran plat couleur exploite un principe similaire pour différencier chaque couleur primaire et adresser à chaque pixel composant l'écran, la valeur d'intensité ou de traitement optique permettant de restituer le segment d'image le plus proche du signal couleur d'origine.

Traitement informatique

La vision humaine différencie au mieux, un demi-million de couleurs dans des conditions idéales et de l'ordre de , s'il s'agit de les reconnaître ou les distinguer précisément. La synthèse trichrome exploitée par les écrans informatiques peut reproduire moins de 40 % de ces différentes couleurs. L'informatique utilise des nombres codés en système binaire, par groupes de huit (octet). En attribuant un octet à chacun des canaux de couleur primaire, on obtient un nombre de couleurs tel que deux codes consécutifs, pour une ou plusieurs composantes, ne peuvent pas se distinguer sur un écran correctement réglé. Un octet peut avoir 256 valeurs différentes et c'est pourquoi on code le rouge, le vert et le bleu avec une valeur comprise entre 0 et 255 et c'est de cette façon que l'ordinateur enregistre le code RVB. Le système produit ainsi 256 à la puissance 3 codes de couleur, soit , trente fois le nombre de couleurs différenciables par l'humain dans de bonnes conditions.

Pour satisfaire une préférence de l'utilisateur, on peut exprimer les valeurs en pourcentage ; l'ordinateur réalise discrètement la conversion.

Codes pratiques

Les logiciels d'édition d'image fournissent des outils de sélection visuelle des couleurs ; le code HTML et les langages informatiques peuvent prendre des valeurs de couleur RVB. Dans ce contexte, on utilise l'abréviation anglaise rgb pour red, green, blue.

Il peut être commode de prendre les valeurs dans une palette couleurs dont on connaît les codes, ou d'utiliser les mots-clés (par exemple lightSalmon, saumon clair, arrive à une couleur proche de celle qui a servi aux exemples) du web, quand on est sûr qu'ils seront reconnus.

Limites et inconvénients

Codage relatif
La synthèse additive ne peut reproduire que les couleurs de chromaticité moindre, que ses primaires; les couleurs sont alors moins intensément colorées. Le système RVB ignore complètement les autres couleurs. Le codage représente la proportion des couleurs primaires à afficher sur l'écran et non, la composition colorimétrique de la couleur. Si on modifie le réglage de l'écran, la couleur est également modifiée. Deux écrans de même fabrication et de même références peuvent afficher deux couleurs significativement différentes, pour le même code. Dans le secteur professionnel, l'étalonnage colorimétrique est censé résoudre ces problématiques.

Les écarts de couleur
Avec un octet par couleur primaire, le codage RVB fournit 2 couleurs différentes, soit  différents codes. En se basant sur la mesure de la plus petite différence de couleur perceptible par l'oeil humain, MacAdam estime que notre vision peut distinguer un demi-million de couleurs. En appliquant les différences de couleur à peine perceptibles, définies par la CIE, un écran standard délivre  couleurs. D'après ces données, plusieurs dizaines de codes de couleur en moyenne permettent d'obtenir un résultat similaire pour la même perception.

Cependant, la différence de couleur à peine perceptible, varie notamment selon la teinte et la luminosité exploitées conjointement ; le système RVB nécessite davantage de valeurs précises pour chaque primaire, pour chaque écart de couleur à peine perceptible, notamment pour certaines couleurs par rapport à d'autres couleurs.

Code machine

Le système décrit directement une instruction destinée à l'affichage vidéo informatique RVB. Mais l'être humain n'interprète pas les couleurs de la même façon. Les études de psychologie de la perception subjective des couleurs entreprises dès le , concluent que trois paramètres  caractérisent a minima, la couleur :
 la « luminosité » ou en électronique « luminance » ;
 la « chromaticité », dite aussi « intensité de la coloration » ou « saturation » ;
 la « teinte », censée situer la couleur dans un champ chromatique.
Ces trois paramètres combinés caractérisent l'appréciation humaine de la couleur, comme par exemple, les expressions : « un vert clair tirant vers le jaune » ou « un bleu sombre et intense ».

Dès 1978, les informaticiens ont élaboré des systèmes de description de couleurs associés plus directement à la perception humaine ; les systèmes Teinte saturation lumière.

Nombre de couleurs
En 1931, la Commission internationale de l'éclairage définit le système CIE RGB, fondé sur des expériences où on présente des stimulus de couleur, c'est-à-dire des plages de couleur n'étant pas des images, à des individus censés égaliser les couleurs qu'ils perçoivent. Il importe peu que le système soit efficace ; les couleurs primaires d'instrumentation sont monochromatiques et, parmi elles, les couleurs rouge et bleu sont très peu lumineuses. Même dans ces conditions, toutes les couleurs visibles ne peuvent être reconstituées par addition. Quand le résultat n'est pas satisfaisant, on rajoute à la couleur à évaluer, une petite quantité de primaires jusqu'à arriver à la perception d'un équivalence. Pour obtenir sa composition, on effectue alors une opération arithmétique aboutissant à une valeur négative.

Des coordonnées (rouge, vert, bleu) sont associées à toutes les couleurs, en ajoutant ces deux différences au codage informatique :
 les primaires d'instrumentation accusent une très faible efficacité lumineuse; les primaires d'un écran doivent donc être suffisamment efficaces alors que leur production ne doit pas exploiter trop d'énergie ;
 les coefficients d'un système colorimétrique peuvent être négatifs, ce qui n'est pas possible pour ceux de la synthèse additive des couleurs.

Conformément à ce système, on peut positionner les trois points R, V, B correspondant aux trois primaires d'un système de synthèse des couleurs, dans un diagramme de chromaticité. Seules les couleurs figurant dans le triangle peuvent être reconstituées. L'ensemble de ces couleurs représente un gamut ou un espace de couleurs.

L'espace sRGB représente la synthèse additive effectuée par l'écran d'ordinateur à tube cathodique conforme à l'époque de leur introduction sur le marché. Les primaires doivent faire preuve d'une certaine efficacité lumineuse, obtenue en diminuant leur pureté colorimétrique. Il est impossible de soustraire une couleur primaire car tous les coefficients effectifs sont positifs et l'espace sRGB exploite un gamut restreint, conforme au triangle que définissent dans le diagramme de chromaticité, les points représentatifs des primaires.

L'espace Adobe RGB est défini pour améliorer la correspondance entre écrans et imprimantes pour l'univers du graphisme et de l'image imprimée. Il exploite une gestion de la couleur adaptée, plus cohérente et rigoureuse dans la chaîne numérique. Il s'accompagne de logiciels de conversion adaptés au profil ICC des terminaux (écrans, scanners, imprimantes, flasheuses...).

Situation des couleurs primaires
La norme sRGB situe les primaires par leurs coordonnées dans l'espace CIE XYZ et spécifie « l'illuminant D65 », ce qui autorise la conversion.

 Les longueurs d'onde dominantes λ sont calculées d'après les fonctions colorimétriques CIE XYZ.
 La pureté indiquée est la pureté colorimétrique.
 Les noms de nuance sont donnés d'après la norme AFNOR X08-010 « Classification méthodique générale des couleurs » (annulée le 30 août 2014) .

Les primaires de la représentation chromatique informatique sont celles héritées de la télévision en couleur. Elles résultent d'un compromis entre l'étendue des couleurs exploitables et l'efficacité lumineuse ainsi que des possibilités techniques à l'époque de leur conception. Un rouge plus dense, ou un bleu plus profond, auraient nécessité un surcoût de composants et de conception électronique pour la même perception humaine.

Le vert tirant un peu sur le bleu est complexe à obtenir ; la meilleure pureté colorimétrique pour une longueur d'onde dominante de  est de 38 %; la couleur obtenue est ainsi métamère du mélange de 38 % de lumière monochromatique de longueur d'onde  avec l'ajout de 62 % de lumière blanche (illuminant D65). Le choix de privilégier l'espace allant du rouge aux vert se justifie, particulièrement pour les jaunes et orangés, parce que la vision humaine distingue des couleurs avec le plus petit écart de longueur d'onde dominante.

Q: store domino document content in a data attribute of a div in xpages for use in Morris.js We are trying to use BootCards with XControls for a new mobile UI on our business xpages applications.
Now when we pick a document from the list built from a domino view we would like to store some data into data attributes of some divs for later use in Morris.js charts in client side JS.
Our code for trying this does not work at all in xPages, we get errors for type conversions or refences.
Can some one provide a way for attaching some javascript object into the data attribute of a div in the xpage and get that attribute read, convert to a Json for using it in a Morris.js chart in client side JS?

A: Are you getting errors when trying to attach it to an XPages Div control? If so, using a Computed Field control and set the content to be HTML to output a normal HTML div to the web page.

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-99), the "Great Agnostic," was the greatest freethought orator in the history of the United States. No public speaker before or since has enjoyed the reputation accorded him.
After the Civil War, Ingersoll embarked upon a career as a lecturer, touring the United States to make his thoughts on religion, women's rights, and humanism known to all. Some Mistakes of Moses, one of the most popular of these lectures, is a critical examination of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible). Ingersoll passionately believed that the alleged divine origins of the Bible were not sufficient reason for a suspension of critical judgement. His diatribe against Old Testament religion is a call for rationality, a quality sorely missing in this time of political upheaval in the world in the name of religion.
Ingersoll greatly feared that when the Bible was read as truth rather than as a collection of fables, mankind would destroy itself in its attempt to follow the teachings of Moses to the letter. Ingersoll fervently believed that the most important belief one can have is belief in man. "Theology is a superstition - Humanity is a religion" - this was the credo of Robert G. Ingersoll.

HRW's Shakir: Democratic values deteriorating in Israel
The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem has denied HRW regional director Omar Shakir a visa. He tells DW why this puts Israel in the same category as Cuba and North Korea.
In another indication that Israel is taking a harsher stance on nongovernmental organizations, it has refused a working visa to the regional director of Human Rights Watch (HRW). The Israeli Foreign Ministry has justified its move by saying that the human rights organization has a clear anti-Israeli agenda. We spoke with the HRW staff member affected by the decision, Omar Shakir, in New York.
DW: Mr. Shakir, I would like an answer to the question posed by the spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry, Emmanuel Nahshon, who asked, "Why should Israel give working visas to people whose only purpose is to besmirch and to attack us?"
Because one of the signs of a country that has respect for basic democratic values is the extent to which they allow for serious scrutiny of their human rights record. Israel is hardly the first country to disagree with our well-researched findings, but by trying to stifle the messenger, they put themselves in a group with countries like Cuba, North Korea, Uzbekistan and Egypt that have denied us entry. Human Rights Watch has direct access to the vast majority of the more than 90 countries across the world that we report on. Israel has allowed us direct access for nearly three decades, and despite the fact that the Israeli authorities sometimes disagree with our findings, they usually engage and correspond with us. So this statement is shocking because it represents a departure from a longstanding professional relationship we've had with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and with other entities of the Israeli government.
What do you believe Nahshon referred to when he said Human Rights Watch was an anti-Israeli organization?
I'm not certain - I'm guessing he's making a reference to some of our findings that are critical of policies of the Israeli government, but it is clear that his statement fails to distinguish between justified criticism of Israeli policy and hostile political propaganda. You know, while we do have reports that are critical of, for example, Israeli home demolitions, or settlements, or administrative detention of Palestinian prisoners, we have also published reports critical of arbitrary arrests and torture by the Palestinian authorities and of rockets fired by Hamas. If you look across the region, we've published reports critical of sexual assaults and rapes by "Islamic State," of executions in Iran, of Saudi Arabia's coalition-led bombings of Yemen that have killed civilians. So we have done work, documented human rights practices in all 19 countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Israel is hardly alone in facing reports like this, but we freely operate and have staff based in its neighbors Jordan and Lebanon and in Tunisia, so it's hard to understand this decision.
You just repeated what you said on Twitter - that Israel is in the same category as Cuba and North Korea and so on. How serious is that comparison?
The comparison is a specific one. It is not about human rights records; it's about which countries in the world have blocked Human Rights Watch staff members' access. And if you look across the world, we have had some difficulties accessing certain countries, but the countries that have blocked us access are a small group that includes places like North Korea, Sudan, Uzbekistan and Egypt, so Israel puts itself in that sort of company with this decision.
Omar Shakir directs the work of HRW in Israel and the Palestinian territories
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nahshon says Human Rights Watch is not banned from Israel. As far as I know, the current employees are still working there; they have not lost their work visas. How do you see this?
Israel has not banned us. We still have local staff on the ground, but as the director for Israel and the Palestinian territories, I need a work permit to carry out my work properly, to glean information at first hand from authorities and representatives of civil society. Denying us a work permit certainly impedes our work.
What do you feel or believe is the deeper sense of this decision? It's obvious that Israel, which sees itself as the only democracy in the Middle East, is violating its own democratic standards by doing so. What is the purpose? Is there a deeper purpose?
This decision does not come in isolation. It is part of larger pattern of shrinking the space for critical voices within Israel. It comes at a time in which Israeli authorities are putting increasing pressure on Israeli and Palestinian human rights defenders. It comes at a time when the Israeli authorities continue at an alarming rate to deny entry to people that disagree with its policies, particularly those of Arab descent. So I think it signals a significant deterioration in basic democratic values that should trouble friends of Israel or anyone concerned about human rights and respect for human rights and international law in Israel.
So my last question is: What are you going to do about it? I think you have the possibility to appeal the decision?
Yes, we are most certainly intending to file the challenge as specified within 45 days. We're encouraged by a statement by the Foreign Ministry yesterday that seems to suggest that they are re-evaluating this decision, that they're exploring the possibility - or that they have offered a tourist visa for me and that they will reconsider the decision if an appeal is filed. We intend to continue to do our research and to seek a reversal of this decision.
Omar Shakir is currently directing the work of Human Rights Watch in Israel and the Palestinian territories from New York.

More than a year after Iran issued a death threat against the British author Salman Rushdie because of his novel ''The Satanic Verses,'' publishers are hesitant about his future projects and there appears to be nervousness over any association with the Indian-born writer.
Last November, the writer Tariq Ali, a friend of Mr. Rushdie, said the author was at work on a children's book, which he expected to finish within a month. But asked yesterday what had happened to this book, Mr. Rushdie's agent, Andrew Wylie, said, ''I forget.'' Mr. Wylie added that it was ''absolutely not true'' that Mr. Rushdie was having trouble finding a publisher for his future works. He declined to comment further on where such works might be published.
For a writer of Mr. Rushdie's stature, it is somewhat unusual, although by no means unprecedented, to be without a contract with a publisher almost two years after the publication of a best-selling work.
One of the short stories, called ''The Prophet's Hair,'' was published in The Atlantic in 1981. It is a fictional account of a true incident involving the theft of a relic from a mosque in Kashmir in 1963.
Mr. Rushdie has been in hiding and under police protection since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called in February 1989 for the killing of the writer, alleging that ''The Satanic Verses'' was a blasphemous insult to Islam. Despite the Ayatollah's death last June, the call for Mr. Rushdie's death has not been rescinded.
There have been widespread reports that providing protection for its staff has cost Viking Penguin several million dollars since the death threat was issued. The British Sunday newspaper The Observer reported last January that this security operation was costing the company $3.2 million a year. Some book stores in Britain have been bombed, but the hard-cover edition of ''The Satanic Verses'' is still readily available in most bookshops.
Despite the commercial success of the novel, the Viking Penguin officials said that a decision still had not been made on whether to issue a paperback. Paperbacks generally come out about one year after hard-cover versions. But it is not unusual for this period to be extended, particularly when both editions are being issued by the same publishing house.
One publisher said that a factor behind the uncertainty over where Mr. Rushdie will publish next was that Mr. Wylie is ''asking for an exorbitant amount of money.'' Mr. Wylie said he did not like to comment about Mr. Rushdie's affairs.
