LOOPED EXODUS – SOULS HAVE MACHINES
The third self-released full album (not counting the initial two EP's) from Looped Exodus (Geerard Labeur, from Amsterdam).
The music for this album was inspired by summer visits to sea and dunes, and reflects 'the landscape, some theory and the act of escaping the hyper-reality…'.
Escaping the hyper-reality can be a deeply religious thing it seems; there are more than one references to religion in the titles: Psalm 88 <in Morsecode>, Monastic Piracy, Psalm 62, Techno for Sacred Spaces… (and in the hidden track Religion in the Age of Digital Reproduction, created with 'digitally reproduced' fragments of prayers).
There are many surprises embedded in the drone-based electronics: the combination with the operatic vocals (from a Bach piece) in Mein Hz works out very well, as does the morse-code text in Psalm 88 (I am not capable to check the code but I suppose it's correct morse), the environmental recordings, the string loops, the FM radio signals, the slowed down jazz rhythm sample…
All these details add up to more than the sum of its parts…which is what makes this album sound so very inspired – and inspiring.

MICHEL BANABILA – FEEDBACK + MODULAR + RADIOWAVES III
FMR III is the third and final (?) release in Michel Banabila's series of experiments in combining the three sound sources from the title. It opens in quite a radical way with a loud synthetic gong that immediately draws full attention, followed by a minimal machinelike noise – an industrial meditation.
Modular synths are very fashionable, but too often the musical results only interesting for the nerdy buttonfreaks using them – there's too much of 'what does thís button do??'. But not in Banabila's hands.
By using clever combinations of different sources, and by careful manipulation, his compositions – even the most minimal ones – get a fascinating cinematic tension.
In Banabila's diversely branched discography, the FMR series is connected to his electronic works (like The department of Electric Engineering releases) and thus quite a lot more experimental than his works for theatre, his jazz-related outings or his crossovers with world-music.
Michel Banabila still manages to combine the best of a lot of musical worlds in his rapidly growing discography, and there's no sign of slowing down!
Feedback + Modular + Radiowaves III by Michel Banabila
MACHINEFABRIEK – DWAAL / WOLD
Speaking of 'no sign of slowing down': Rutger 'Machinefabriek' Zuydervelt only seems to increase his speed of releasing new albums: blink twice and his catalogue has changed. But even more impressive is that he is able to retain a very high quality level on all of his work.
Belgium based label Dauw released a cassette edition of two new works, both around 18 minutes. (The cassette edition has sold out fast, so you'll have to do with the digital edition).
Dwaal refers to 'getting lost', and I'm not sure about Wold but I guess it could be local dialect for 'forest'.
So there you have it: the best description these soundscapes can get.
Imagine a fog so thick that you cannot see your own hand when you stretch it out in front of you. Then imagine you're walking through that fog in an unfamiliar landscape. (It's a flawed comparision, I know, since this weather condition usually means complete silence and abscence of wind. Still: it is precisely that kind of feeling the multiple layers of white noise, distorted hiss and weird subtle details evokes).
[Edit April, 2018]
The cassette release on Dauw has sold out long ago, but Dwaal/Wold is re-released by Moving Furniture Records on CD and as a digital download. This re-release also contains two additional re-works of the tracks, by Nicola Ratti and Benoît Pioulard.

MACHINEFABRIEK – WENDINGEN
As if his own output was not enough to convince us of his musical genius, Zoharum releases a compilation of remixes that Rutger 'Machinefabriek' Zuydervelt has done for others. Almost all of the tracks of this compilation have been previously released, but most of them are hard to find now.
I am not sure whether to call this a 'various artists compilation with tracks by different artists all remixed by Machinefabriek, or a Machinefabriek album with sound sources from different artists. These are remixes, created for different occasions, but all of them have the Machinefabriek trademark pouring out of every detail. So in the end, this definitely is a Machinefabriek album – with a lot of different guest artists.
Some of the collaborating artists are familiar: Wouter van Veldhoven, Aaron Martin, Fieldhead, Gareth Hardwick. But there are also some surprising names: such as Djivan Gasparyan (!) and Amon Tobin.
Special props, by the way, to the cover (and inner) image, which perfectly captures the spirit Machinefabriek's music!

ORPHAX – TIME WAVES
With every new release, Sietse van der Erve (Orphax)'s drones seem to go deeper and deeper.
Time Waves is a combination of a live recording and additional home recordings, inspired by his geology study – 'when I learned a lot about the various eons, eras and periods, ages and what's more used to describe time on the geological scale. While at one side it was always different on the other side some things never changed.'
However, as Sietse puts it: "if geologic time is too abstract for you, you can also just think of cat hair, just like you see in the pictures in this artwork."

MATTHEW FLORIANZ – WASTELAND SIGNALS
His earliest albums were released as Liquid Morphine, but soon Matthew Florianz released his music under his own name. There was a steady flow of releases – some of which gained a certain cult status among ambient music fans: titles like Grijsgebied and Molenstraat – before Florianz shifted focus to (game) sound design.
Though he continuously worked on soundscapes and soundtracks, there was a period of relative silence (no album releases) since 2011. In 2015 he released Tauern and Nocturne (Soundtrack for Science Briefings – which is exactly what they are: soundtracks for a video series about science unsolved mysteries).
(check below for free promo codes for this album)
And now there's his new full album: 'Wasteland Signals'.
Florianz has a personal sound, a musical style that is somewhat different from most other artists – or at least from those mentioned above.
With its lush use of synth-pads, it could perhaps be described as somewhat more 'classical ambient'. The atmospheric background soundscapes, the kind that could've been written for a game soundtrack, are never far away. But perhaps most significant is that – in spite of its title – this album conveys hope, a sense of light that overcomes darkness.
Florianz used to live in The Hague, but followed his work to England.
"While still living in The Hague, I started working on music that has followed me around to three different cities and another country entirely when I moved to the United Kingdom. The music has changed, but the underlying themes have always been travel and what to be let go of, to move on."
The official Bandcamp release shows the nine tracks that make up Wasteland Signals, but the download adds another 42 minutes of bonus tracks!

We didn't know anything about this kind of thing. We learned. They explained it to us. We understood even less. But later on, «we grasped the concept holistically,» as they say. That is, not at all. But they were saying something about how we had been victims of a «high level» cyber attack. We of course put on our «no problem» face, the one that says «the proper measures will be taken» and «we will pursue this case to its logical conclusion.» But really, we were asking ourselves if it happened because of all the times we ourselves go to the page in order to increase the number of visitors. «Some over-enthusiastic clicker» we thought. But that part is confidential, so we'd appreciate it if you didn't make it public.
Later on they told us that calculations show that in the United States alone, the average annual cost of cyberattacks was 12.7 million dollars in 2014. We didn't understand, I mean about the quantity. When they explained it to us, we panicked and ran to see if our pozol reserves had diminished. Nope. «Stable levels,» the guard said (this means there is enough for the homages and the seminar). At that point, all was still well. The problem was that in order to celebrate the fact that the cyberattack had not penetrated the solid vaults where we store the «gold of the LXIX century,» we had a party and a dance with the community DJs' electronic music. The result? The strategic reserves were substantially reduced and now we have to replace them.
But, as they say, now it is official: neozapatismo has entered the 21st century. Okay, okay, okay, we're late, but keep in mind that it's only 2015.
Did you think the image of modern Mexico lay in Beverly Hills shopping, helicopter travel, or an electoral ad? Wrong! Error 404! ¡Erreur! ¡Fehler! ¡Oшибка!

Okay, okay, okay, we don't really know what that means (being so premodern, we're only accustomed to attacks by soldiers, police, paramilitaries, and various ink-shitters), but it sounds so fancy, so classy, so first world.
Oh, I thought this day would never come! Let Sony, Microsoft, and Apple die of jealousy! Let Obama, Putin, and Merkel turn green with envy! Let Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, and Metro swell with rage! Let Samsung, LG, and Motorola buy their antacids! Prostrate yourselves cola drinks, junk food and fast food! Don't hide your humiliation International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization!
We will take it for what it is: a small homage to our humble and quiet work of clicking on the webpage to raise our «web traffic» and soon, we will be collecting payments for advertising self-help courses, language classes in Elf, Dothraki, High Valerian, Klingon, and Na'vi, and of course, online offers from «The Speedy Huarache.»
Well in reality and in La Realidad, all this is nothing but a pretext to send you all an embrace and say:
Thanks to the gang, the plebes, the crew, the barrio, the homies, the brothers, the compas or whatever you call them, who lent a hand, some support,, backup, and, as they say these days, «replicated» the content of the pages, the tweets, the facebook, and the chats closest to their respective hearts. As this is sure to happen again, we want to reiterate once and for all: Thank you (please use the scientific method of «copy and paste» for this note of appreciation because it won't be the last time you need it).

Mexico, April 2015.
From the diary of the Cat-Dog:
Looking for who to blame:
-The trendy hypothesis of «Moderate Hysteria«:
It was without doubt the reptile-millenial-illuminati-narcoglobalist-party follower-electoralists.
-The trendy hypothesis of «Misogynist High Politics«: It was Frank Underwood, but with bad advice from Claire… Okay, okay, okay, Petrov then?
-Report from Big Brother, received by the Pentagon: (Summary of observations from «The Situation Room» of the «East Wing» of the Zapatista Hexagon. Reporting: Echelon System. April 7, 2015. 2330 hours, zulu time): Opinions were split: someone said it was us (the Pentagon), someone else said it was the Kremlin. Somebody else said Buckingham Palace, el Palacio de Hierro,[i] Liverpool, or Sears. Nobody said the Eifel Tower (this calmed them down because they were worried about their buddies from Tameratong)?
Some embittered soul said that they already knew that the new season of Game of Thrones was no good at all. Some indescribable character, something like a dog…or a cat…or viceversa, put up a sign that read: «Spoiler Alert.»
It sounded like they were about to come to agreement on something when the sound of a marimba being tuned was heard. The voices in the audio become chaotic, confused, and the only thing that can be made out is a kind of shout: «Pozol Agrio!» It must be some kind of alarm signal because the «Situation Room» and the whole east wing of the complex was quickly deserted.

Choral Experience
Digital Creations
Since March 2020, things have gone quite differently to how many of us in the music industry expected. Despite challenging circumstances, there have still been some brilliant opportunities to make music and art, and I wanted to share some of those that I've been involved with here:
Rocket Opera 'Karaoke nights'
As well as providing some exciting masterclasses with Martin Constantine and Matteo Dalle Fratte, Rocket Opera have been busy hosting a weekly performance platform for artists on Thursday evenings.
With established singers and young artists from many backgrounds participating, it has been wonderful to have a safe space in which to perform to real live people even during the difficult lockdown period. To find out more, visit Rocket Opera's website and get in touch!
https://rocketopera.weebly.com/
A fundraiser for Brighton Early Music Festival (BREMF)
Having participated as a cover artist and chorus singer in their January 2020 production of La Dafne, BREMF proved to be such a supportive and friendly organisation while also pursuing musical and theatrical excellence and providing great opportunities for young artists who want to start specialising in early repertoire.
Organisations like BREMF lost a lot of revenue from having to cancel their live season this autumn, and to support them in continuing their work, I joined a group of alumni in an online 'Playathon' which has been streamed online.
Alongside two other young artists, I produced a performance of the Air Gai from J.P. Rameau's Cantata L'impatience. You can view the end result at the link below, and please do give your support if you can:
https://www.bremf.org.uk/playathon/
British Youth Opera
This year was my first experience with British Youth Opera (BYO), who were forced to cancel their two summer opera productions because of the global lockdown. It was particularly sad as I was excited to have been offered a tenor chorus role in their production of Poulenc's Les Mamelles de Tirésias in Hackney Empire Theatre.
Despite all the challenges, BYO managed to produce a really impressive and fruitful summer season of training for its young artists, and I had an amazing two weeks of workshops and masterclasses, including:
Working with movement specialist Mandy Demetriou
A masterclass with tenor John Graham-Hall
Sessions in role preparation with Martin Lloyd-Evans
A wellbeing session with Nadine Benjamin
...and some grassroots too!
It's also been a pleasure to create music at my home church of St Edward in Netley Abbey, and with St Mark's Church, Hamilton Terrace, where I am continuing as a choral scholar for the 2020-21 academic year.
I have also reconnected with colleagues and other young artists to make music during lockdown, and will continue to share these projects on my Facebook page and YouTube channel.
...and take a look below at some of the 'Lockdown Creations' from the Trinity Laban vocal department, in which I feature as a soloist and as part of a larger vocal ensemble:
Alex is a tenor currently studying at Trinity Laban Conservatoire and living in London.

Q: Why does CoffeeScript not support `==`? I am learning CoffeeScript and am using js2.coffee to convert my Javascript file to CoffeeScript. One some lines, it warns me that
Operator '==' is not supported in CoffeeScript, use '===' instead.

What is the rationale behind that? Why does CoffeeScript not support ==?

A: For the same reason that most Linters warn you against using it.
It's a strangely implemented operator with surprising side-effects.
"\n\t" == false
// => true

There are many things written on the topic, but most notably the == operator made Douglas Crockford's list of things to avoid.

A: Actually CoffeeScript compiles == to JavaScript's === (and != to !== as you can see in the documentation).
So bottom line yes, it doesn't support it. I guess it is because == does type conversion before checking equality if the operands are of different type. This conversion is a practice that has been frowned upon because of its unexpected results and its performance.
There is much discussion online on the issue of == vs ===. MDN docs helped me get a better understanding on the issue.

Formed in 1889 and nicknamed the Blades in recognition of Sheffield's history of steel production, Sheffield United have returned to the Premier League after a 12-year absence.
The club has played its home games at Bramall Lane in the centre of the city since its formation, and the stadium is the oldest major league ground the world, having first hosted a game in the 1860s. It also hosted the world's first floodlit football match back in 1978!
Playing in red and white striped shirts, Sheffield United has a fierce rivalry with city neighbours Sheffield Wednesday, with whom they contest the 'Steel City derby'.

Stuck in the ABC data yesterday was the web data for rte.ie and interesting reading it makes. The audit is for October 2012 and we have comparative data for October 2011.
The state broadcasters site is visited on average by 443,000 unique browsers (roughly equivalent to people) every day and 4.8m browsers every month. There are 3.9m pages read every day and 121m every month.
Compared to last year the total number of unique visitors is up 6% but their engagement has slipped marginally as the total number of pages viewed per day is down 2% both per day and per month. The number of pages viewed per visit dropped from 9.5 to 8.8 per day (-7%).
The audit splits the browsers into web and 'app'* and it clearly shows that the 'app' is crucial to attracting visitors. App visitors now account for 30% of total visitors but 50% or all page impressions. App visitors are up 75% year on year and app page impressions are up 29%. Conversely, whilst there 57,000 more app visitors year on year, those using the apps to access the RTE's website are viewing significantly less pages, 25% less – more visors but less engagement.
This increase in mobile access has lead, I'd suggest, to the marked drop in both requested downloads and AV plays.
According to the ABC, an app is: "A program with a clearly defined purpose typically referred to as an app when installed on a handheld device". So, you can assume from the explanation that rte.ie being accesses directly, not via their app, is included in the all web browser figure – which is misleading and underestimates mobile access to their site.

CKNS was a former radio station which operated on 930 kHz (AM) in Espanola, Ontario, Canada.

History
On February 6, 1976, Algonquin Radio-TV Co. Ltd. was given approval to operate a new AM station at Espanola.  It would broadcast on 930 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts. CKNS began broadcasting at 930 kHz on October 2, 1976.  The station was a semi-satellite of CKNR in Elliot Lake which began broadcasting in 1967. The "NS" in the call sign: North Shore.

In the mid-1980s, Mid-Canada Communications was approved by the CRTC to acquire CKNS from Huron Broadcasting Limited.

In 1986 CKNS received approval to disaffiliate from the CBC radio network, which is now served by CBCE-FM out of Little Current. In 1990, the Pelmorex Radio Network received approval to acquire CKNS from Mid-Canada Communications. In 1996, CKNS and its sister stations CKNR and CJNR were sold to North Channel Broadcasters, which established the contemporary CKNR-FM and shut down all three AM signals.

Q: How can I solve " module 'pandas' has no attribute 'scatter_matrix' " error? I'm trying to run pd.scatter_matrix() function in Jupyter Notebook with my code below:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

# Load some data
iris = datasets.load_iris()
iris_df = pd.DataFrame(iris['data'], columns=iris['feature_names'])
iris_df['species'] = iris['target']

pd.scatter_matrix(iris_df, alpha=0.2, figsize=(10, 10))
plt.show()

But I'm getting
AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'scatter_matrix'.
Even after executing conda update pandas and conda update matplotlib commands in Terminal, this is still occurring.
I executed pd.__version__ command to check my pandas version and it's '0.24.2'. What could be the problem?

A: This method is under pandas.plotting - docs and pandas.plotting.scatter_matrix:
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix

scatter_matrix(iris_df, alpha=0.2, figsize=(10, 10))

A: Using
from pandas.plotting._misc import scatter_matrix

don't use pd.scatter_matrix or pandas.scatter_matrix
you can directly call scatter_matrix
e.g.
cmap = cm.get_cmap('gnuplot')
scatter = scatter_matrix(X, c = y, marker = 'o', s=40, hist_kwds={'bins':15},
    figsize=(9,9), cmap = cmap)
plt.suptitle('Scatter-matrix for each input variable')
plt.savefig('fruits_scatter_matrix')
plt.show()

A: Use:
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix

The code becomes:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix

iris = datasets.load_iris()
iris_df = pd.DataFrame(iris['data'], columns=iris['feature_names'])
iris_df['species'] = iris['target']

scatter_matrix(iris_df, alpha=0.2, figsize=(10, 10))
plt.show()

A: Another option is keeping only pandas import and rewriting the command scatter_matrix, like in the example below:
import pandas as pd

pd.plotting.scatter_matrix(iris_df, alpha=0.2, figsize=(10, 10))

A: In our case we were executing below code "axs = pd.scatter_matrix(sampled_data, figsize=(10, 10)) "
so the error clearly says scatter_matrix is not available in pandas

Solution:
A bit of google and we found scatter_matrix is available in pandas.plotting
So correct code is  "axs = pd.plotting.scatter_matrix(sampled_data, figsize=(10, 10)) "

A: I used
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix

and called scatter_matrix directly worked like charm.

Q: Python to C++ Communication Failure I have 4 numpy arrays in python.  I'm sending them to a spawned c++ process.  This works with small arrays, but when the array gets too big, the c++ program reads (what appears to be the opposite byte order of the machine (little)) an incorrect value.
typical values for the python/numpy array are 0.25, 0.5, 0.7 etc.
the c++ program receives these correctly until it gets to be many thousands of elements, and then the c++ program begins to receive strange values which appear to be the big endian version of the little endian values it should get.  It has nothing to do with syncing, because the middle array sends all data perfectly no matter the size.  It's only my first and last array that does this -- even though all python/numpy arrays have been forced to be the same type.
once array gets too big:  c++ receives values like:  -4.34345e-266, -5.67456e-50, etc.
Does anyone have any guesses as to why this would happen?  I have been stuck on this for a while.
Edit: It seems like a platform issue.  The code works on my local computer (Ubuntu 18.04, python 3.6.9, g++ 7.5.0) but fails on Amazon AWS (Ubuntu 18.04, python 3.6.9, g++ 7.5.0) -- same specs it seems.  Are there other platform dependencies I should be considering?
Edit 2:  I've narrowed it down more.  It appears to be an issue that occurs once a certain amount of time has elapsed, rather than occurring after a certain array size.  Which is why my local machine transferred all data before the issue arose.  AWS uses vCPU (virtual) and it may take longer to communicate between processes, which is why I notice it on the cloud server and not my local server...  Any suggestions as to what may be causing this is helpful.

Here's a sample of what is going on.  Run the python code and see how it communicates.  While creating this example, I noticed a limit on the dim to be 144 which means the max bytes my computer could transfer was 165888 before failing. (Edit: this is due to pipe blocking when read and write are in the same thread, as pointed out in an answer below, but my actual code uses threads and is non-blocking.  The issue still seems to be time lapse related, as it works on my local server)
# python 3

import numpy
import subprocess
import struct
import sys
import time

s = subprocess.Popen(
    'g++ -Ofast -pthread -o script comm_test.cpp && ./script',
    shell=True,
    stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
    bufsize=-1,
)

dim = 4
a = numpy.arange(dim*dim, dtype=numpy.float64).reshape((dim, dim))
print(a)
bdim = dim.to_bytes(4, byteorder=sys.byteorder)
s.stdin.write(bdim)
for i in range(dim):
    for j in range(dim):
        b = struct.pack('<d', a[i][j])
        s.stdin.write(b)
s.stdin.flush()
while True:
    data = s.stderr.readline()
    text = '[c++] {}'.format(data.decode('utf-8'), end='')
    print(text)
    if 'done' in text:
        break

// comm_test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <streambuf>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    cerr << "started" << endl;
    int r, dim;
    r = fread(&dim, sizeof(int), 1, stdin);
    cerr << "dim: " << dim << endl;
    double* array = new double[dim*dim];
    for(int i = 0; i < dim*dim; i++){
        double val;
        r = fread(&val, sizeof(double), 1, stdin);
        array[i] = val;
        cerr << val << endl;
    }
    cerr << "done" << endl;
    return 0;
}

A: Your problem is not on the Python side.  Your problem is that the C application is filling up its stdout pipe buffer and blocking, because your Python code doesn't read anything until it finishes writing.
To do this kind of communication, you need reads and writes to be simultaneous.  You can do this with a simple TCP socket, but you'd have the same problem; the buffers are not infinitely large.

A: I figured it out.  I had a loop somewhere that was pinging the c++ process on a timer.  It was running prior to the completion of all initial data transfer, therefore, the ping would send a couple bytes of data somewhere in the middle of transfer (hence why I couldn't nail down an exact point of error) and this would throw off all the subsequent pieces of data. I was right in assuming my local computer IPC was faster than AWS Cloud vCPUs IPC. That's why my local computer worked - initial data transfer was able to out-pace the timer loop.
Since this won't help anyone much, I can post a better version of a simple inter process PIPE comm (with threads, so it's non-blocking [no limit on data transferred]):
# python 3

import numpy
import subprocess
import struct
import sys
import time
import threading
from time import perf_counter

s = subprocess.Popen(
    'g++ -Ofast -pthread -o script comm_test.cpp && ./script',
    shell=True,
    stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
)

def reader(s):
    while True:
        data = s.stdout.readline()
        text = '[c++] {}'.format(data.decode('utf-8'), end='')
        print(text)
        if 'done' in text:
            break

r = threading.Thread(target=reader, args=(s,))
r.start()
dim = 1000
a = numpy.arange(dim*dim, dtype=numpy.float64).reshape((dim, dim))
print(a)
bdim = struct.pack('<i', dim)
s.stdin.write(bdim)
t1 = perf_counter()
for i in range(dim):
    for j in range(dim):
        val = a[i][j]
        val = numpy.float64(val)
        b = struct.pack('<d', val)
        s.stdin.write(b)
s.stdin.flush()
t2 = perf_counter()
r.join()
print('finished in {:.4f} seconds'.format(t2-t1))

// c++ comm_test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <streambuf>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    cerr << "started" << endl;
    int r, dim;
    r = fread(&dim, sizeof(int), 1, stdin);
    cerr << "dim: " << dim << endl;
    double* array = new double[dim*dim];
    for(int i = 0; i < dim*dim; i++){
        double val;
        r = fread(&val, sizeof(double), 1, stdin);
        array[i] = val;
        cerr << val << endl;
    }
    cerr << "done" << endl;
    return 0;
}


When it's your innermost layer, you want it to feel luxuriously soft. And it does.
The ¾ sleeve top has a perfectly curved scoop neckline and a body slimming silhouette that give a svelte look without the squeeze of a too-tight shapewear garment.
Wear under a sweater on chilly days, or all alone with a pair of jeans, or leggings.


This sophisticated pair of cigarette-leg pants feature a high-waist cut and a darted waist for a perfect fit. Perfect for transitioning from work to play, these chic and flattering fitted pants are a winner. Pair with heeled pumps for a dressier option, or with flat brogues for an easy daytime look.
Filter By Height: Show All 5'2" 5'3" 5'6" 5'8"
I love these pants, they are comfy- true to size - perfect work pants! Only negative were the threads that i had to cut, no biggie, just a few here and there hanging off the seams.
I haven't worn them yet but tried on and they fit like a glove. I am 5'2" and 125lbs and ordered a size 6US. I hope they hold up, they're so cute and comfortable.
Wore these ONCE to an interview (20min max) and afterwards there was a massive hole in the crotch area. The stitching just busted. Quality in clothing from here has become worse over time.

Despite political controversy, WWE will head back over to Saudi Arabia on Friday for the scheduled Crown Jewel event. There had been some speculation that the company would pull out of the show, but it recently announced it would be adhering to its 10-year agreement with the Saudi General Sports Authority and the show will go on as planned. Fridays event will mark WWEs second venture to Saudi Arabia this year, with the Greatest Royal Rumble show taking place back in April.

The Crown Jewel event on Friday will feature an eight-man World Cup tournament featuring some of the biggest names in the company. The universal and WWE titles will be defended, and of course, well see the return of the legendary Shawn Michaels after being absent from the ring for the past eight years. Crown Jewel is set for a noon ET start on the WWE Network, with an 11 a.m. kickoff show getting the festivities started.
WWE World Cup:The World Cup tournament will take place throughout the entire Crown Jewel event, with the bracket featuring a Raw side and SmackDown Live side. Below is a look at the bracket for Fridays tournament to determine the best in the world.
WWE Championship– AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe:Styles retained his title over Joe at Super Show-Down, and Bryan became the No. 1 contender by defeating The Miz in 2:25 on the same show. That was until Bryan reportedly refused to attend Crown Jewel, pulling out of the show. WWE got his title match out of the way Tuesday night on SmackDown, clearing the way for Joe to attack both men and slide into the open match.

Summer Solstice: As regular and reliable as a sundial, June 21, the longest day of the year, means that you'll have to make a concerted effort to NOT catch some live music (maybe don't get out of bed). Both Make Music New York and the Bang on a Can Marathon go up the same day, both give you as great a variety of music as you can imagine, and both are absolutely free. MMNY means there will be music, outdoors, all over the city, guide yourself by taste, map, and/or time of day. The Bang on a Can marathon is sadly not what it once was, whittled down from 24 hours to 10, but that's still 10 hours full of variety, surprises, and the best of contemporary music making, in the vaulting resonance of the Winter Garden.
And starting early this month (June 3) but running all summer long, is the Celebrate Brooklyn Performing Arts Festival in the Prospect Park Bandshell. This summer's lineup includes Esperanza Spalding, eighth blackbird, Lucinda Williams, Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party, Vieux Farka Touré, Tune-Yards, Willie Nelson, and more.
Also in Brooklyn, for two weekends only (June 14 and 21) is the Red Hook Jazz Festival, which punches far above its weight. In the Urban Meadow at President and Van Brunt, on two Sunday afternoons you can see an unequalled concentration of the finest jazz musicians in New York, including Jason Kao Hwang, Alon Nechustan, Ahmed Abdullah, Ben Monder, Joe McPhee, Karl Berger, Brian Charette, and Rez Abbasi. There are few other jazz festivals with this type of quality.
Stone Residencies June 2 - 7/June 16 - 21. Beyond their typically outstanding schedule, this month is bookended by residencies from Roy Nathanson and Theo Bleckmann. Nathanson, always the most accomplished Lounge Lizard, visits with some of his colleagues from the Jazz Passengers, including Curtis Fowlkes, Marc Ribot, and stellar musicians like Myra Melford and Arturo O'Farrill—and on June 5 he plays with his notable new group, Sotto Voce. Bleckmann, a lovely, expressive, dramatic singer who can handle multiple idioms, has an amazing bunch of sets scheduled: he'll sing Schumann's Dichterliebe with Uri Caine, songs by and with Kirk Nurock, the music of Kate Bush, and songs by Kurt Weill, as well as sets with Ben Monder, Rob Schwimmer, and itsnotyouitsme.
June 4 - 6: Tyondai Braxton at the Kitchen. Tyondai Braxton left spastic math-rock band Battles in 2010 to concentrate on his own work. An understandable move: it's hard to concentrate on anything when Battles is playing. He performs HIVE, a new work debuted at the Guggenheim in 2013, in a three-night residency coinciding with his upcoming Nonesuch release, HIVE1. The performances will also feature a site-specific work by mixed-media artist Grace Villamil.
June 6: Dommengang at Union Pool. Film transferred to a digital format tends to be marred by pixellated distortion. This occurs because the digital format isn't able to handle all the information—the subtle gradations of light—that film captures so beautifully. Dommengang's rural-mystic video for "Her Blues" seems to suffer this problem: all that spooky sun-dappled landscape doesn't quite come through on YouTube. Thankfully, Sig Wilson, Brian Markham, and Adam Bulgasem's tense mid-tempo stomp fares better in the transfer. See them live in full fidelity at Union Pool, celebrating the release of their debut, Everybody's Boogie.
June 8: Periscope at Shapeshifter Lab. An exciting looking band: tenor saxophonist Noah Premingers is a strong, satisfying player, excellent guitarist Jerome Harris handles the harmonies, and bassist Ed Schuller and drummer Pete Davenport round out the rhythm section. Expect the music to be both two-fisted and sophisticated. Then stick around for Michael Eaton and Adam Minkoff's live recreation of Coltrane's Ascension.
June 10: John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble at Roulette. This is the release show for Hollenbeck's new CD, Songs We Like a Lot, which cements a trend. Hollenbeck is one of the most artful percussionists and thinkers in jazz and new music, and his recent releases have been expanding the dimension where jazz and the contemporary art song meet. His fabulous What is the Beautiful? made new music out of the writing of beat/jazz poet Kenneth Patchen, Songs I Like a Lot was his first foray into "covers," with modern and expressive arrangements of songs by Jimmy Webb, Imogen Heap, Queen, and others. The new one is full of surprises: Daft Punk, "True Colors", and for anyone near middle age, "Up Up And Away."
June 10 & 13: Either/Or 10th Annual Spring Festival. There are never enough opportunities to catch Richard Carrick's small ensemble, which explores the important edges of contemporary music. On these two concerts, they will play a brand new piece from Anthony Coleman (who will join them at the piano) and a multi-media work by Gio Janiashvili (June 10), then on the 13th, the program is tremendously exciting: For John Cage, one of Morton Feldman's exquisite late works, and Horatiu Radulescu's Aur pulsars and Dr. Kai Hong's Diamond Mountain II. Radulescu is essentially never heard in the US, which is a shame since he uses music as a serrated blade to carve through the fabric of the universe into a dimension of exalted and terrifying spirituality.
June 11 & 14: Lukas Ligeti 50th birthday concerts. Sponsored by the Austrian Cultural Forum, these will be both celebratory and valedictory: Ligeti will begin teaching at UC-Irvine in the fall. On the 11th, he'll be playing post-rock/classical music at the ACF, with his band Notebook. Then at Roulette on the 14th, ensemble mise-en will premiere two new composed works. One of the linchpins of the new music scene, he will be missed.
June 12: Lesley Flanigan's Voices at Roulette. Flanigan makes music out of and for circuits and speakers, bringing space and physics back into the experience of electronics. Her new work adds voices to the mix, but the goal is still the same: press at the seams of sound until beautiful things come forth (hear her talk about the work on our February podcast).
June 13: Paal Nilsson-Love's Large Unit at First Unitarian Congregational Society. Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love—whose performance with Boneshaker capped part one of our coverage of last year's Suoni per il Popolo festival in Montreal—brings together 11 musicians from across Scandinavia to make up Large Unit. The ensemble, first formed in 2013, shifts confidently from full-on bombast to slinky textural improvisation. Tonight's show is presented by the still-peripatetic ISSUE Project Room.
June 17: The Glass House Orchestra and Muzsikás at NYU Skirball Center. The four-decade old quartet Muzsikás billed as "the most famous of all Hungarian folk groups," joins "Austro-Hungarian folk punk" ensemble Glass House Orchestra for a double bill at NYU's Skirball Center. Even the list of sponsors constitutes a mitteleuropäische mix: The concert is part of KulturfestNYC, which is presented by National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in collaboration with UJA-Federation; this evening's entertainment is co-presented with Balassi Institute Hungarian Cultural Center New York.
June 21 - 28: New York Electroacoustic Music Festival. Although this festival is sprinkled with lectures and symposium, the music itself goes well beyond academia. The massive amount of music scheduled—4 to 5 concerts on most days, is testament to the vitality of the field and the aural riches that await the curious and interested listener.
June 23: C. Spencer Yeh: Solo Voice I-X at Artists Space Books & Talks. C. Spencer Yeh kicks off his 2015 residency at ISSUE Project Room with a performance celebrating the April release of Solo Voice I - X, the latest entry in Yeh's diverse oeuvre. To quote a bit of Yeh's statement on the performance: "I've been exploring the limit at which a phrase could no longer register as language– where vocalizations' legibility disappears and becomes texture rather than communication."
June 28 & 30: They Might Be Giants at Music Hall of Williamsburg. They Might Be Giants plays two afternoon shows, each billed as "A They Might Be Giants show for the family," with stroller parking, natch—it's like a Guided by Voices show without the excess. A studio session on Michael Shelley's WFMU show back in January was further proof that, well into its fourth decade, the group is still as charming, amicable, prolific, and generally fun to listen to as ever.
June 28: The Little Black Egg Big Band, Oren Ambarchi at Pioneer Works. Returning to Pioneer Works for its third annual summer concert series, ISSUE presents Yo La Tengo side project Little Black Egg, to be joined by jazz artists Susie Ibarra, Daniel Carter, Taylor Ho Bynum, and more. Oren Ambarchi, subtle improviser, opens.


I assist business owners who are preparing to sell their businesses, particularly for retirement. There are a significant and atypically large number of business owners born between 1945 and 1955, who are in the process of preparing to sell their businesses in the next few years. Business Analysts report that the largest transfer of business wealth and assets in history is in the process of occurring. This will continue over the coming years. I work with you to ensure that you attain the maximum value of the business asset, whether you are planning a trade sale, a management buy-out/buy-in, or other means of realising your business's accumulated worth.
Having grown my own business from start-up to multi-million pound sell-out, I like to think I have encountered most of the problems and issues you will confront, both in your day-to-day business and in the eventual sale process.
One thing that I particularly encourage is to make sure that you have an understanding of the market value of the business quite early in the process. Everyone has an opinion as to what their business is worth so it's vital that an independent valuation is obtained in order to understand the most probable selling price of the business.
From there, one of two things happens. We can then proceed to finding buyers for the business or, more likely, developing a plan of what needs to be done to increase the value, in order to achieve the amount that you had in mind. This is why I like to meet with you very early in the process. There are many and varied strategies that we can employ to help improve the value at sale; however, they need to be implemented in a step-by-step process over a sustained period of time.
The successful exit strategy from my own marketing services business, called Marketing Principles, which was sold to an American multi-national, means I have direct experience of the do's and don'ts of a trade sale. I'll help you with due diligence and liaise with all stakeholders to manage the sale and hand-over. I can also assist with structuring the sale to further maximise the result for all parties.
Simply fill in your details on our Contact Us Page and one of our advisors will contact you to arrange for a No Obligation Consultation.
Call 01844 237450 or 07836 334150 or e-mail dave@hilltopconsultancy.co.uk to arrange a suitable date and time.

Q: want to change the timestamp into date in cakephp 2.0 usng finc condition i am getting following result. I want to change the my timestamp to date format . while using find condition .
for example :-  $emailLogDetail= $this->LogEmail->find('all', array(
           'fields' => array(
            'LogEmail.*',
            //'date("m/d/Y", strtotime(LogEmail.TimeStamp)) as Date',
            'User.email'
        ),
         'order' => 'LogEmail.id DESC',
        'joins' => $joins
    ));

for now i have commented the date conversion code coz it gives error. but is there any way to convert the timestamp into Date while adding Select query
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [LogEmail] => Array
                (
                    [Id] => 12
                    [Status] => sent
                    [UserId] => 42
                    [Subject] => Confirmation!
                    [Body] => hiiiii
                    [TimeStamp] => 1395912288
                    [ActionName] => Register
                )

            [User] => Array
                (
                    [email] => test@gmail.com
                )

        )
)

A: use this
"FROM_UNIXTIME(LogEmail.TimeStamp) as date"

with formating
"FROM_UNIXTIME(LogEmail.TimeStamp, '%m\%d\%y') as date"

What you are asking to store that formating style on core.php and use that on whole application. I suggest you not to take that approach... Here it is--
at core.php
Configure::write('dateFormat',"FROM_UNIXTIME(LogEmail.TimeStamp, '%m\%d\%y') as date");
Now you can read this from anywhere of your application as-
$dateFormat = Configure::read('dateFormat');
$emailLogDetail= $this->LogEmail->find('all', array(
           'fields' => array(
            'LogEmail.*',
            $dateFormat,
            'User.email'
        ),
         'order' => 'LogEmail.id DESC',
        'joins' => $joins
    ));

From as early as I can remember there's been a gap - Camus' screen of glass - between the person I am and the world I'm in. This is different to being inauthentic, i.e. being one person in one's mind and another in public. Camus in his excellent book "The Stranger" describes this state of mind as like looking at the world behind a soundproof glass, like watching someone in a glass telephone cabinet animated in conversation but unable to hear the sound. It's an interesting metaphor but you have to think of the sound unheard as emotion unfelt - this is the isolation, if it's extreme enough - you're a presence in the story of your daily life but it's not the same visceral experience most have.
The brain is an adaptive chameleon machine and it doesn't take long for a child living out this disconnect to learn - by dint of a compensating early developed intelligence - what ought to be the norms of a human being going through the world. To extend Camus' metaphor, the child (and the adult he becomes) develops an increasingly well-honed reconstruction technique that's akin to lip-reading the sound that's behind the glass, bridging the gap between experience and emotion in response. If the disconnection wasn't too extreme, this reconstruction can become a seamless reconnection by adulthood, parsing lived experience so quickly it's entirely unconscious. I suppose that's the hope when giving medication to ADD and ADHD children. Help their focus, give their viscera a kick (through dopamine agonists and serotonin antagonists) and the child matures into a 'normal' adult. It probably works some of the time.
There price paid, in an everyday sense, for reconstruction emotional responses, is to "feel" the simple things of life with less fidelity - less intensity - less conviction. It may not be an isolation, if the reconstruction is all 'under the hood' but it'll still manifest a range of corollary common situations: antagonism with mobs, baffled by jingo, degrees of sociopathy (that can be turned to the good or the bad or the merely self-serving).
The personal circumstances of the isolated child will have an inordinate impact on the happy function of the adult. Not so much because the reconstruction intelligence needs to be taught - the brain is going to work its best solutions regardless - but because the other side of the isolation disconnect develops early complex reconstruction techniques and this is fertile ground for prodigious talents in creative arts and critical problem solving. In truth it might be that every artist and thinker and creative mind begins with a child born on the spectrum of limbic/emotion disconnection. How an individual's brain reconstructs the world may vary, not least according to how wide the disconnection happens to be, ends up making the difference between an adult artistic virtuoso and an adult sociopathic narcissist!
I'd speculate the so-called intelligence of the Ashkenazi Jews isn't some phenotype consequence of centuries in the mercantile professions but more likely a mild genetic twist making the spectrum disconnection a norm, reconstruction brains commonplace and thus no surprise the illiterate Jews came up with their compelling spin on religion so early - reconstructing a world beyond real life - or that later generations of literate Jews continued to be born outsiders, manifesting as prodigious cultural affinity with science and the arts. And a wildly disproportionate number of great scientists, artists, writers, creative critical thinkers, etc.
The innocuous reality gap in brains on the spectrum is not an everyday handicap if it's not too extreme. This may ultimately be a case of minor mutation (or epigenetic predisposition) that gets selected long-tern by dint of it forcing the brain to develop faster, more capable conscious intelligence to compensate.
Our brains want to experience the world in full colour but the slightly autistic mind is slightly disconnected from the viscera. This is like living in a black and white silent movie. The brain is preconditioned to feel the colours so it must use its innate biochemical tools to turn monochrome into technicolour. How this manifests is what matters: a heightened perception of the world that's necessary for authentic intelligent description (even if unconscious). The descriptions are the catalyst for the reconnected emotional responses that fit the norms of brains not on the spectrum.
A corollary of this process, as its extended across countless deconstructions in all the diverse circumstances of everyday life, happens to be a toolset the mind can use (to varying degrees) on its own imagination and memory and lived experience. This is toolset we call creativity. All art, literature, science and philosophy are creations of this toolset. Truth is, a brain wholly in tune with its reality confidently living moment to moment full of feeling in colour, it's a mind hypnotised by its own being, compelled to be. We love to see the natural absorption of animals and people unconsciously doing their thing in unquestioned sympathy with the environment. In human beings it's what turns charm into charisma.
It's ironic that what we consider culture and the enlightenment advances of science and the beautiful illuminating creations of art and invention are the pinnacle of human achievement, judged with hindsight, whereas the often ugly unpredictable struggle of those individuals forced to engage reality using learnt deconstruction techniques to intuit and describe the feeling of connection and compulsion, these individuals can be discordant, outliers, invariably complex, sometimes alien enough to be marginalized; or worse.

Her stories have also appeared recently in Crossed Genres, Lackington's, and Spellbound. Her website is heartfieldfiction.wordpress.com and she is on Twitter as @kateheartfield.
Isabelle fell back and kicked forward as hard as she could, looking down the length of her body to where her Spiderman shoes pointed to the setting sun.
The swing chains wriggled like pond frogs in her hands. Her tummy lurched just like it did when the plane took off on their trip to see Grandma.
"Half an hour," her mom said from the picnic table.
Sand clouded around her feet. Three more kicks and she felt the chains go slack just for a second, as if they weren't holding her weight any more.
She could pull those chains right up to the top, if she got going fast enough. She knew she could. She had been trying since she was little, and one day she would go up, up, all the way around. It might be today.
A few more kicks and she would go higher, past that spot where the chains weren't tight anymore. She would go up and all the way around. She would have to hold on but she was good at holding on.
She held her breath and kicked with every bit of her power.
"Look at you go, sweetie!" her mother called. "Not too high, ok?"
This time the chains wiggled and groaned. They didn't know what to do.
Another kick and her bum slid out of the black rubber swing for a second, then she settled back into it. Hang on, she told herself.
Another and she was hanging on, head down, eyes shut, sick to her stomach, upside down.
When she opened them the chains were taking her weight again and she was zooming back toward the ground.
She had done it. Up and over.
She swung up to the sticking spot but not past, this time. A few more kicks. One. Two. Three and she was up again, and she looked at the parked cars on the road upside down and then she was back right-side up and she said, "mom, look at me" but her mom was standing and looking already and this time Isabelle was going fast enough that she kept going, all the way to the top and around again.
Her feet swooped higher off the ground now because the chains had wrapped a couple of times around the top bar. Could she make it one more time? She pushed her toes forward, leaned back like an astronaut and went up into the clouds, and around, the chains twisting and clicking.
Her mom was gone. The kids were gone. A man and a woman stood watching her.
She bent her knees to slow herself and the chains buckled.
She twisted around, looking. Nobody. The swing went higgledy-piggledy, one way and the other, slowing down but too slowly. She jumped way out and fell on her hands and knees. The ground shook her body.
"Come with us now, Isabelle," said the woman. She was wearing high heels. She was smiling but it was the kind of smile her mom used when Grandma gave Isabelle treats before dinner.
"I'm not going with anyone," she said, brushing the sand off her hands. It stuck in the pink dents the chains had made. "My mom is here with me."
"Your mom is not here," said the man. He was wearing a shirt with a little picture of an alligator over his heart. "She cannot be trusted with you. She let you do something you can't do."
"The universe has laws," said the woman. "We are custodians of those laws. The law says you can't swing all the way around. Not on Earth, anyway."
Isabelle looked behind her at the swing still wobbling and twisting. Where had all the other kids gone? Where were the parked cars? The street was empty.
"There isn't enough tension in the chains to allow you to maintain sufficient centripetal force to overcome gravity," said the woman.
Isabelle considered this. It sounded like something her mom would say, firm just like that, then change her mind about if Isabelle asked questions. Her mom would say, there isn't enough time to walk on the curb as if it were a tightrope, because we're in a hurry. And then after a question or two: oh, all right, go ahead and do what you like, Isabelle.
"But why is it like that?" Isabelle asked.
"It just is," said the man.
"You have to come with us," said the woman.
Isabelle crossed her arms. "I am not going anywhere until you tell me why."
The man squatted to look her in the face. He had a smooth face without any bumps or hairs.
"It is better this way, don't you think? What if--what if the other children saw you, Isabelle? Imagine a young one, making it up to the top and then falling on its little head, smacking into the bar of the swingset. Ouch."
"Little kids do dumb stuff all the time. That's not a reason."
The man sighed and straightened up.
"We don't have time for this," the woman said.
Isabelle shook her head. "Give me one good reason why I can't do whatever centripetal force I want."
Her mom was fond of asking Isabelle to give one good reason why she wouldn't get into the bath.
"Because you just can't," the man said.
"Come with us now, dear," said the woman. "We're going to a kind of school. You like school, don't you?"
Isabelle could run fast in her Spiderman running shoes. She had been trying to run fast enough to fly since she was a little girl. One day, she was going to do it. It might be today.
This story is for my niece, Isabelle, who knows her own mind.


There's been no shortage of new smartphones and tablets this past year, but there sure has been a shortage of "oh wow" innovations. Of course, we have the usual enhancements: faster processors, more natural-looking screens, better speakers, and improved cameras, but that's standard progress for these gadgets. What's been increasingly rare are innovations that break new ground. And we've seen welcome but still incremental refinements in Android and iOS.
Still, there were a few surprising innovations in 2016, and given the general malaise the mobile industry is experiencing, these five gems are worth celebrating even more.

Building JMeter

Before you can compile JMeter, you will need a few things:

a Java 8 compatible JDK (Java Development Kit)

a working installation of Ant (at least version 1.9.1)

the JMeter sources as shown in the next section

Acquiring the source

The full source is distributed alongside the binary, and you can also find it in the source repositories.

The source archive, SVN and GIT do not contain any of the required library files.

Compiling and packaging JMeter using Eclipse

Option 1 : Setting up Eclipse project with Ant task

Once you have downloaded the sources using git or svn, you can setup the Eclipse project by running:

ant setup-eclipse-project

You can then import the project using
File → Import → Existing projects into Workspace and select the folder containing JMeter sources.

Option 2 : Setting up Eclipse project manually

The first step is to download dependencies by running the Ant command:

ant download_jars

Or you can download the binary distribution archive for a release and unpack it into the same directory structure as the source.
This will ensure that the lib/ directory contains the jar files needed for running JMeter.
There are a few additional jars that are needed to build JMeter, download these using:

ant download_jars

This will retrieve any missing jars.

If you are behind a proxy, you can set a few build properties in build-local.properties for ant to use the proxy:

proxy.use=true
proxy.host=proxy.example.invalid
proxy.port=8080
proxy.user=your_user_name
proxy.pass=your_password

You might also want to skip some tests - that are failing without proper access to the internet - by adding some more
properties into build-local.properties:

skip.bug52310=true
skip.bug60607=true
skip.batchtest_Http4ImplPreemptiveBasicAuth=true
skip.batchtest_SlowCharsFeature=true
skip.batchtest_TestKeepAlive=true
skip.test_http=true
skip.test_TestDNSCacheManager.testWithCustomResolverAnd1Server=true

Once you have downloaded the source from SVN or the release archives and run the ant download_jars target to
install the dependent jars, you can configure Eclipse. The easiest way to do this is to replace the Eclipse .classpath
file with the eclipse.classpath file provided with JMeter. This will set up the source-paths and most of the libraries.

Ensure you read eclipse.md for project configuration.

Compiling and packaging JMeter using Ant

JMeter can be built entirely using Ant.
The basic command is:

ant install

See build.xml (or call ant -p) for the other targets that can be used. Note that you can skip the word install after ant as it is the default target.

Contributing to JMeter

We love contribution

We are very grateful to you if you take some time to contribute to the project.
If you have some time to spend on the project you can pick existing enhancement or bug from Issues page.

You can also contribute to translation, see JMeter Localisation (Translator's Guide).

Submitting a patch

If you want to contribute to JMeter for a bug fix or enhancement, here is the procedure to follow:

Check your patch

Before submitting your patch ensure you do the following:

Check that patch compiles and follows Tab space policy by running:

ant package-and-check

Check that patch does not break JUnit tests by running:

ant test

Create a PR using GIT

Open a bugzilla issue, see Issues page

Fork Apache JMeter mirror

Clone your forked repository locally :
git clone https://github.com/yourid/jmeter/

Create a branch using for example bugzilla id:
git branch BUGID

Checkout the new branch :
git checkout BUGID

commit your fix there :
git commit -m 'Fix to BUGID' list of files

Add JMeter repository as upstream :
git remote add upstream http://www.github.com/apache/jmeter

push it :
git push origin BUGID

Create a PR and link it in the bugzilla issue

Create a PR using Patch

Open a bugzilla issue, see Issues page

Checkout Apache JMeter source

Code your fix

Create your patch by Right clicking on Eclipse project and select
        Team → Create Patch …

Attach your patch to the bugzilla issue

Automated builds

Automated (nightly) builds

As part of the development process, the JMeter project has access to various Continuous Integration (CI) server builds.
The build output can be useful for testing recent changes to the code-base.

Please note that the builds have not undergone any QA and should only be used for development testing.
For further information, see the Nightly builds for developers page.

Building Add-Ons

Building Add-Ons

There is no need to build JMeter if you just want to build an add-on.
Just download the binary archive and add the jars to the classpath or use Maven artifacts to build your add-ons.
You may want to also download the source so it can be used by the IDE.

See the extras/addons* files in the source tree for some suggestions

Does a Nonprofit Organization in Pennsylvania Require a Business License?
A business license is simply an issuance of permission to operate in the state. Although nonprofits do not transact business in the traditional sense, they must still obtain various permissions from the state of Pennsylvania to conduct their affairs. Depending on the type of nonprofit organization, required permits may include general licensing, occupational licensing, charity registration, local licensing, and foreign business licensing.
General Licensing
A nonprofit organization's "license," or authority, to operate in the state of Pennsylvania is its properly filed articles of incorporation. The articles of incorporation must include the names of the incorporators, the name of the nonprofit, and state its charitable purpose. The articles may also list the directors of the nonprofit and the duration of the business. Organizations are required to advertise their intention to incorporate in two local newspapers. The articles are filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State with the appropriate fee. Once the state accepts and approves the articles, the nonprofit has the authority to operate in the state of Pennsylvania.
Depending on the type of business you are operating, you may be required to obtain a professional license. Occupations that require licensing include legal services, accounting and most health-related professions. You must contact the specific state board that pertains to your profession to determine the licensing requirements. For general information about professional occupations, or to determine if a profession requires a license, you can contact the Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs.
Ready to form a nonprofit? Get Started Now
The nonprofit must file a charitable organization registration statement with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations for permission to solicit donations from Pennsylvania residents. Religious institutions and public charities that receive contributions of less than $25,000 per year are excluded from this requirement; they do not need permission to solicit donations. Additionally, professional solicitors and professional fundraising counsels who are paid to raise funds for organizations must register with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations before they are allowed to raise funds.
Local Licensing
If a nonprofit has a physical location in a particular Pennsylvania town or county, it may need a local business license or permit. Some counties require that all businesses, including nonprofits, apply for a business permit. Certain businesses may require additional permits, such as child care facilities, food vending businesses, or tobacco-related companies. Further, permits are required whenever new construction takes place.
Foreign Business Licensing
If your nonprofit organization is registered in another state, you must obtain a certificate of authority from the Secretary of the Commonwealth to have permission to conduct business in Pennsylvania. The application for a certificate of authority must be filed with the Secretary, accompanied by a docketing statement. Nonprofit organizations must publicize their intent to apply for a certificate of authority in two Pennsylvania newspapers.

Allentown Applications and Forms
Rules & Regulations for Non-Profit Associations in Pennsylvania
Forming a nonprofit will enable you to carry forth your charitable mission, while allowing your supporters to make tax-deductible donations to your cause. In Pennsylvania, nonprofit associations are referred to as nonprofit corporations, which are regulated by the state's Nonprofit Corporation Law. Before officially forming the organization under state law, it is important to understand the general requirements for nonprofits, and to have a board of directors in place to manage the corporation.
Requirements to Have a Raffle in Pennsylvania
Raffles are considered a form of gambling in Pennsylvania. This classification applies to all games that require a fee to enter and include the possibility of winning a prize by random selection. However, the state does permit certain organizations to hold raffles, so long as a license is first obtained and all proceeds are used to further a charitable purpose. The process is governed by the Local Option Small Games of Chance Act of 1988, which contains specific registration, operating and reporting requirements.
How to Set Up a Partnership in Virginia
Partnerships are a common business type because they are relatively simple to set up and allow for flexibility in management structure. A general partnership is an agreement between two or more people to go into business together for profit. The partners remain personally liable for the debts and obligations of the business. Virginia partnerships are governed by state partnership law and by contractual agreements between the parties.
