Britney Spears's New Mobile Game Is at Least As Fun As Interviewing Britney Spears
By Allie Jones
Britney Spears. Photo: Steve Granitz/Getty Images
Britney Spears is back. She's got a successful residency at Planet Hollywood in Vegas; she's performing at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend; and, on Wednesday, she launched a mobile game with the same company that created Kim Kardashian's wildly popular app. It's called Britney Spears: American Dream, and when a publicist offered us the chance to interview Britney about it, we said, "Yes! Duh! When?"
Though she has come a long, long way from her public meltdown in 2007, Britney rarely gives interviews these days. She seems to be doing well, both mentally and financially — Forbes ranked her the fifth-highest-earning female musician of 2015 — but she remains guarded.
Britney Spears: American Dream. Photo: Glu Games Inc
And so our interview, it turns out, was an email Q&A facilitated by a publicist for the mobile game. We sent Britney a variety of questions about Britney Spears: American Dream, as well as her career in this moment. How is your game different from Kim Kardashian's? Is that "rival" pop-star character based on anyone in particular? How involved were you in the design process? With this new venture and your ongoing, successful residency at Planet Hollywood, you really seem to be at the top of your game … how do you feel about the recent media conversation surrounding your career and conservatorship?
We also asked her to tell us what her current favorite drink at Starbucks is, since a place called "Starbeans" features heavily in the opening scenes of the game.
We got back an edited list of questions along with Britney's answers, which are incredibly revealing.
You're a huge star, but you really haven't put your name on that many products over the years. Why did you want to create a mobile game?
I'm definitely picky about what projects I take on. They have to be things I'm passionate about. I actually get to be creative when it comes to my mobile game. It's really cool.
How involved were you in the design process?
I was really involved in the overall look and feel of the game, especially my character. I wanted to make sure fans knew it was me.
My favorite part of the game is that it starts out in a "Starbeans." What's your go-to Starbucks order today?
Passion Tango Herbal Tea is my drink of choice.
What are your other favorite apps on your phone? You've been posting great Instagrams lately.
Other than my game ;) I love Instagram.
In 2002, you released a PlayStation game called Britney's Dance Beat. Now, almost 15 years later, you have Britney Spears: American Dream. What do you think you'll be doing 15 years from now?
Definitely being a mom and spending time with friends and family.
So now we know Britney's favorite Starbucks drink.
You can download Britney Spears: American Dream here.

1997 R 2h 34m Blu-ray / DVD
Jackie Brown is an aging flight attendant who smuggles cash on the side. But when she's busted and pressured to help with an investigation, she plans to play the opposing forces against each other and walk away with the dough.
Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Michael Bowen, Chris Tucker, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Tommy 'Tiny' Lister, Hattie Winston, Sid Haig, Aimee Graham, Ellis Williams, Tangie Ambrose
Drama, Crime Dramas, Crime Action, Crime Thrillers
Witty, Gritty
English: DTS 5.1 Surround, English: Dolby Digital 5.1, French: Dolby Digital 5.1
Widescreen 1.85:1
English, Spanish (Neutral), English SDH
English: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: DTS 5.1 HD
R - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. Contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them.
Parents need to know that this crime drama has a quick, half-clad sex scene (only a bare bottom shown) and a handful of fatal shootings, though neither is as explicit as the colorful profanity in the script, which doesn't shy away from the N-word or "f--k." For what it's worth, the "good" characters do the least swearing, though in the crime environment here it's up for debate who is "good" at all. Two characters avidly smoke marijuana, and Jackie Brown unapologetically smokes cigarettes.
Two characters have standing up, partially clothed, spur-of-the-moment sex. One female bare-butt shot. Women in skimpy bikinis.
Characters shot to death, in some cases with blood resulting, but the actual deed is either at a great distance or just offscreen. Automatic weapons fired at targets in a firearms-fan video.
Frequent language, including "f--k," the N-word, "s--t," "t-tty," "ass," "damn," and "God" used as an exclamation.
The movie asks if two people can really love and trust each other amidst a heavy cops-and-robbers atmosphere of criminal deceit (and a half a million bucks up for grabs). Secondary idea of how far Jackie will go to save herself and assure her future.
Chain-store names such as Banana Republic, Merle Norman, and Things Rememered on display in a shopping-mall setting. Plug for the R&B band The Delfonics. A soundtrack album exists, as does the Elmore Leonard source novel Rum Punch. Mention of car manufacturers -- and gun manufacturers. References to other movies, such as the Hong Kong action-shootout marathon The Killer.
Prodigious marijuana smoking via bong by less-than-admirable characters. Jackie smokes cigarettes (stating she'll gain weight if she quits). She is framed for cocaine possession.

On July 19, 1944, the Philadelphia Tribune reported on voting rights in Texas. "Dr. Lonnie Smith, local dentist, upon whose case the United States Supreme Court ruled that colored citizens had the right to vote in the Texas Democratic primaries led hundreds of colored voters all over the Lone Star State to the polls last Saturday. Wherever colored citizens had paid their poll tax in the state they voted." The landmark Smith v. Allwright decision ruled that it was unconstitutional for Texas or other states to hold white primaries. (Click to view article PDF.)

The SVPER11 Watch
An inspiring watch that pays homage to the Apollo 11 mission.
On the night of November 14, 2016, the largest supermoon of the last 70 years kept Polish designer Rafal Czaniecki awake and unable to sleep. While admiring the brightness of the moon, he realized he wanted to create a design that would adequately celebrate one of the most inspiring achievements of humanity: the Apollo 11 mission. Three years later, the designer has unveiled his concept, the creative and distinctive SVPER11 watch.
Every detail of the timepiece pays homage to the NASA moon landing in one way or another. For example, the dial references the moon landing site, the Sea of Tranquility. It features a 3D topographic map of the area, with layers that measure only 0.1mm in thickness. This 3D surface also curves upwards as it reaches the edge of the dial. One-of-a-kind, the 4-arm second hand with the sweeping motion of the Japanese VH31 SEIKO movement mirrors the look of a radar that constantly indicates the location of the landing area. The crown of the SVPER11 watch draws inspiration from the mission's spacesuits. More specifically, it features shapes and colors reminiscent of the spacesuits' oxygen valves.
The stainless steel case boasts a mineral glass dome with a protective sapphire layer and anti-reflective coating. The technical ceramic caseback has a spaceship-inspired white finish and also features an Apollo 11 mention. Finally, laser-etched coordinates and the Latin name for the landing site adorn the interior of the custom strap buckle. Launched on Kickstarter on September 9, 2019, the SVPER11 watch comes in 4 colors inspired by the moon landing. Early Bird backers will be able to get the timepiece at a discount of up to 45% from the future retail price of $349. Photographs© Rafal Czaniecki.

The Next Step In Recording Technology
Every musician has been there. You're trying to record a track in your home studio and it just never sounds quite right. The tone is thin, the effects plastic, and music sounds choked. It sounds as if it were recorded in, well, your bedroom. Home recordings, as well as many professional studio recordings, lack the full rich sound of a live concert. Home recording environments simply don't have the acoustics or the equipment to record a vibrant, full, real sounding performance, until now. Born To Rock solves these frustrating problems with their latest release, Rockster+ Pro.
Born To Rock is an innovative music company that brings new technologies to bear on the world of rock and roll. They produce widely used electric guitars and basses made out of metal instead of the traditional wood and develop software geared toward the ever-growing digital recording paradigm.
Rockster+ Pro is an important innovation in home recording. This software allows artists to pack warm analog drive and concert hall ambience into digital recordings and turn dead tracks into big live-sounding mixes without the expensive equipment found at professional recording studios. With Rockster+ Pro, recording artists can use one of seven presets or create their own unique production setting. A GUI panel provides controls for factory and user presets, reverb time, decay and mix, heat, drive, space and dither. Reverb controls are independently adjustable for reflections from rear, side, ceiling and audience so you can design your own concert hall's size, shape, and liveliness. With this program an artist can place a recording in any venue from a small club to a giant opera hall.
A key feature that sets this software apart is file analysis. Rockster+ Pro does not work in real-time like most recording and production software. Instead, the program analyzes the entire sound file before applying any effects or modifications. This prevents ugly noises from clipping and blends all of the parameters at once instead of piping the signal through a chain of compressors and processors. Rockster+ Pro will also warn you of any overages before it processes modifications so you have the option to re-record the track.
Rockster+ Pro takes all of the expensive equipment and engineering of a professional recording studio and shrinks it into an affordable piece of software. Now the home studio recording can compete with the professional effort and every musician can achieve the same high quality, full bore, live sound on their tracks. This application levels the playing field for home recording artists and is a must have for any serious home studio.

Bethany & Rufus To Perform Two Shows With Peter Yarrow In Ridgefield
Folk music legend Peter Yarrow will bring his vocal and guitar magic to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Saturday, October 17, with two performances: a children's concert at 4 p.m., and an evening show for adults at 8 p.m.
At the children's concert, Yarrow will sing with his daughter Bethany Yarrow and cellist Rufus Cappadocia, the duo know as 'Bethany & Rufus'. "I always invite the kids to come on stage to help lead 'Puff, The Magic Dragon,'" said Yarrow, "and I always find out, much to my delight, that even the three and four-year olds know the words."
The trio Peter, Bethany and Rufus recently released the 11- song CD "Puff & Other Family Classics." Yarrow's children's concert is part of the Pepsi Children's Series and underwritten by Wooster School in Danbury. This show's Union Savings Bank "Arts for Everyone" recipient is Escape to the Arts, which will receive a number of complimentary tickets for their constituents underwritten by the Bank.
The evening concert, which is part of the Doyle Coffin Singer Songwriter Series, will offer selections from Yarrow's repertoire that demonstrates folk music's potency as a social, cultural and political force with its message of humanity, hope and activism.
Peter Yarrow found fame with the 1960s folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary. Yarrow met Noel "Paul" Stookey and the late Mary Travers in New York City's Greenwich Village, center of the mid-20th century American folk music revival. By 1962, Warner Bros. Records released the trio's first album, the eponymous "Peter, Paul & Mary." The album remained in the Top Ten for 10 months, in the Top Twenty for two years, and sold more than two million copies. The group has toured extensively and recorded numerous albums, both live and in the studio. Yarrow has appeared as a performer on 61 various albums, including his daughter Bethany's 2003 CD, "Rock Island."
Drawing from the roots music traditions of America, Niger, and Haiti; Bethany & Rufus with Yacouba Moumouni and Bonga Jean-Baptiste come together to create an unexpected tapestry, weaving the desert winds of Africa with Vodou traditions of the new world and the folk music of America. http://bethanyandrufus.musicdish.net http://www.facebook.com/bethanyandrufus
For tickets ($25 at 4 p.m.; $37.50 at 8 p.m.) and further information about The Ridgefield Playhouse, call the box office at 203-438-5795; tickets may be also purchased online at http://www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Playhouse is located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street.

Panda Transport Releases Plush Mechanique, Including "Transmission" As Heard On Grey's Anatomy
Panda Transport is set to make a big splash in the US this fall, releasing "Plush Mechanique", their latest LP with a new distribution deal with IODA. With the single "Transmission" already featured on Grey's Anatomy, it's just a matter of time before Panda Transport rises to prominence. After seeing success in Europe with multiple hit songs, glowing reviews and prominent placements on television, Panda Transport is pushing into the American market with "Plush Mechanique" and a new EP, "Monorail", to be released this fall.
"Wondrous music!!!!!! They were so good, so sweet, so darn good! I'm still smiling...really." -NME
"Plush Mechanique" defines the Panda Transport sound - a melange of electronic and natural instrumentation utilizing vocal harmonies, theremin, flute, vocoder, wooden and wired guitars, handmade percussion, synths and a trolley full of toys and light! A bit more natural sunlight than well- placed studio lighting; it is human music for human people.
Panda Transport was conceived in September of 2006 by Kathy Compton and Thierry Holweck. After meeting and becoming friends via the Information Super Highway, pen pal style, they began work in earnest to record material for the debut album, "Plush Mechanique".
Kathy wanted to be a pussycat, a witch, or an astronaut; Thierry, alone in a boat or a shepherd in the Alps. She became a chanteuse and writer of jazz and pop; he, a punk electro-experimental musician and virtual faders master. They are polar opposites drawn together by their shared desire to explore the unknown. Their meeting was a twist of fate; their musical creation is a twist of cultures, experiences, influences and personalities.
A by-product of the global village, Panda Transport creates music where jazz phrasing, coupled with engaging melodies is set within a soundscape of harmony and fleeting sounds; astral lounge. Their passion for Voyaging remains central to their bi-continental lifestyle, most compositions being created on the road in Europe or The States, in yurts and ancient silk factories, utilizing a dilapidated laptop with its organs busting out.
Be on the lookout for Panda Transport's new EP "Monorail" this fall, as well as upcoming tour dates in the US!

Pioneer Of Latin-Indian Fusion Music Giju Premieres Two New Videos
Multi-talented world music and Latin dance artist Giju, and Beyond Dreamz Entertainment announced today the global release of his much anticipated new video projects. The first, a beautiful ballad titled "Dil Ko Kya (Unto My Heart)" and the second, "Dhoondun Tujhe (Searching for You)", Giju's innovative Latin dance single is the first ever Latin-Indian cross-over Cha-Cha-Cha. The videos which feature some of the world's most talented dancers were shot on location in Mumbai, Delhi and the beautiful waterways of Kerala, Giju's native home. Directed by Sandeep Mohan, Pradipto Nandi respectively, this release marks a milestone in Giju's progression on the world stage as an accomplished vocalist, choreographer and dancer who has traveled throughout the U.S., Europe and India to bring his unique brand of entertainment.
The videos and complete music CD are being released simultaneously worldwide. Both videos can be viewed immediately at the link posted below. Buy the album today on iTunes, CDBaby, and other major online outlets. Check out his official website for more information and news on upcoming events.
(Video Premiere: http://www.gijujohn.com/videos)
(Website: http://www.beyonddreamz.com)
(Song Lyrics: http://gijujohn.com/Song-Lyrics.html)
"Giju is one of the most talented performers I have ever worked with -- at once, dynamic, hard working and quite charismatic! His ability to sing and perform the genre of Latin-Indian fusion is amazing. He masterfully delivers true Indian elements in his lyrics and melody, while he retains the authentic music style being showcased whether that be Salsa, Cha Cha Cha, Reggae or another genre," said Shibani Kashyap, Bollywood Singer, Musician, Music Composer.
Additionally, Giju has recently signed a contract for two upcoming Bollywood film projects, utilizing his singing, acting and choreography talents.
"For me, fusion music is a reflection on how the world and its many cultures are coming together; and that serves as the source of inspiration for all of my songs. Following the encouraging response to my first Latin-Indian Salsa video project, I wanted to showcase another very personal favorite music style of mine - Cha Cha Cha. I believe that the "Dhoondun Tujhe" video has successfully captured the vibrancy and playfulness my audience seeks. "Dil Ko Kiya" is a ballad which has been close to my heart - that truly reflects the nostalgic feel of love and love lost. I hope the audience takes them to heart as well," said Giju.
About Beyond Dreamz Entertainment
Beyond Dreamz Entertainment was founded by Giju John in 2006 with the mission of developing and producing innovative music, video and dance choreography that fuses both novel and ingenious ideas.

Alternative Indie Rocker Kirsten DeHaan Readies Her Latest EP
Alternative Rock singer-songwriter Kirsten DeHaan has confirmed her latest release on SirLady Records: a five song EP dubbed "Thorns On A Crown" that is by far her most mature work to date. The new EP encompasses the sweetness of Liz Phair, a soft, airy quality like that of Sia, and the rich alto of Fiona Apple. Digital music distributor and licensing company Oseao Media Group will be making the EP available through major online retail stores on October 6th, 2009.
When describing her latest offering," Thorns On A Crown" Kirsten notes, "This record, without exception, finally exemplifies who I am as an artist...Its alive, clear, and gripping. I wanted to make a very raw record, one that can't hide, I think that goal has been accomplished."
Kirsten has a lovely vocal range layered over innovative melodies and catchy chord progressions. The songs on her five-track EP extend over a range of toe-tapping to somber. The melody of the track "1984" coupled with the guitar wah pedal effect gives it a 60's psychedelic feel. The guitar intro then serves as an excellent backdrop through the entire song. Music lovers can download a free MP3 of "1984" from her website at http://www.kdlocal.com
The single string guitar riff in "Double or Nothing" meshes in with the bass line very nicely giving it a Dave Matthews Band groove. The track "The Night Shift" has a Pink Floyd feel to it, which midway through introduces a samba like rhythm. In the track "I'm Coming Home," Kirsten stays true to some of her influences like Bob Dylan evidenced by the use of the harmonica. This track also captures Kirsten exhibiting a decent vibrato. While at first inconspicuous and gentle, "Ms. Daisy" easily works its way into the listener's subconscious through Kirsten's melodious and colorful voice.
"My primary goal as a singer/songwriter and for 'Thorns On A Crown' is to make my music as tight as possible," explained Kirsten. "After many years of writing my own work and playing with various musicians, I'm working with my guys, which, in my view, has created the ultimate band recording with just five instruments. Paul Amorese on drums, Jamie Sturm on guitar, Shawn Setaro on bass, and myself on guitar, vocals, and harmonica."
DeHaan stomped onto the indie music scene in 2004 when she released her first album "Conform." Reviewers compared her music to that of Nirvana, U2, and Belly. MTV struck licensing deals to play her songs Commotion and Saved on hit reality shows Made and My Super Sweet Sixteen. Garageband rated her #16 Best Female Vocals in Pop/Rock, all time, and FreshFarmMusic.com declared "Conform" one of the most popular records next to the Killers and Ashlee Simpson. In addition, Kirsten was one of five artists chosen for Men's Vogue/Hennessey Flaunt Your Taste Critics Choice Awards this past year.
DeHaan also strives to promote and foster the indie music scene in New York City. She started the New York Indie Rock Launch in early 2006 to bring the best New York artists of various rock genres together under one roof. Promoting entirely on a grass roots level (a flyer to flyer basis), the first Launch sold out quickly and found tremendous success. DeHaan continued the series in 2007 and again in July 2008 at the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn.

Amy Speace Says It's "A Huge Honor" To Open For Nanci Griffith On Upcoming Northeast Shows
This October, Amy Speace can add a new highlight to her ever-growing list of accomplishments this year: a string of dates with legendary songstress Nanci Griffith.
"Of the many artists that I look up to Nanci Griffith surely is high up on my list of influences," says Speace, "and it will be a huge honor to share the stage with her on these shows. Nanci paved the way for the rest of us trying to bridge the gap between folk and roots and country music."
Delivering a perfectly matched opening for Griffith, Speace will play songs from her new album 'The Killer In Me,' "an edgy brew of roots rock, folk and pop" (Arizona Republic, 8.11.09) out now on Judy Collins' Wildflower Records. On stage and on her album, Speace knows how to "rock just right" (Washington Post, 6.12.09), sharing stories between her narrative songs with support from the "deft musicianship of her band, the Tearjerks" (Arizona Republic).
Catch Speace opening for Nanci Griffith on the following dates:
October 22 - Ridgefield, CT - The Ridgefield Playhouse
October 23 - New York, NY - Town Hall
October 24 - North Hampton, MA - The Calvin Theatre
Speace has earned glowing reviews for 'The Killer In Me,' an "effortlessly intimate" album where "the seduction in Speace's voice and the smooth sound of background horns and organs make you feel exposed and susceptible" (CMT.com, 7.6.09). She'll be backed by the Tearjerks at her showcase at the Americana Music Festival and Conference in Nashville on September 16.

Q: How To get specific data from mysql in NodeJs REST API Here is my database:

Here is my code

//Read by jenis_kelamin
router.get('/:table/jk/:jenis_kelamin', function(req, res) {
 sequelize.query("SHOW KEYS FROM `"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"` WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
 .then(function(keys) {
  var jenis_kelamin =req.params.jenis_kelamin;
  sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM `"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"` WHERE jenis_kelamin = `"+jenis_kelamin+"` ", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
  .then(function(rows) {
   if(!rows.length) {
    res.status(404);
    res.json({
     "success" : 0,
     "data" : "No rows found"
    });
   }
   res.status(200);
   res.json({
    "success" : 1,
    "data" : rows
   });
  })
  .catch( function(err) {
   res.status(404);
   res.send({
    "success" : 0,
    "message" : err.message
   });
  });
 })
 .catch( function(err) {
  res.status(404);
  res.send({
   "success" : 0,
   "message" : err.message
  });
 });
});

I want to get fields in table 'siswa' where 'jenis_kelamin' = 'starfish'. Use code above, but I am getting this error:

{
    "success": 0,
    "message": "ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column 'starfish' in 'where clause'"
}

Can anybody help me?

A: TRY THIS
//Read by jenis_kelamin
router.get('/:table/jk/:jenis_kelamin', function(req, res) {
    sequelize.query("SHOW KEYS FROM '"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"' WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
    .then(function(keys) {
        var jenis_kelamin =req.params.jenis_kelamin;
        sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM '"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"' WHERE jenis_kelamin = '"+jenis_kelamin+"' ", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
        .then(function(rows) {
            if(!rows.length) {
                res.status(404);
                res.json({
                    "success" : 0,
                    "data" : "No rows found"
                });
            }
            res.status(200);
            res.json({
                "success" : 1,
                "data" : rows
            });
        })
        .catch( function(err) {
            res.status(404);
            res.send({
                "success" : 0,
                "message" : err.message
            });
        });
    })
    .catch( function(err) {
        res.status(404);
        res.send({
            "success" : 0,
            "message" : err.message
        });
    });
});

THIS should work too
//Read by jenis_kelamin
router.get('/:table/jk/:jenis_kelamin', function(req, res) {
    sequelize.query("SHOW KEYS FROM '"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"' WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
    .then(function(keys) {
        var jenis_kelamin =req.params.jenis_kelamin;
        return sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM '"+TABLE_PREFIX+req.params.table+"' WHERE jenis_kelamin = '"+jenis_kelamin+"' ", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
    })
    .then(function(rows) {
        if(!rows.length) {
            res.status(404);
            res.json({
                "success" : 0,
                "data" : "No rows found"
            });
        }
        res.status(200);
        res.json({
            "success" : 1,
            "data" : rows
        });
    })
    .catch( function(err) {
        res.status(404);
        res.send({
            "success" : 0,
            "message" : err.message
        });
    });
});

AND Finally
router.get('/:table/jk/:jenis_kelamin', function(req, res) {

    const myTableName = sanitizeTableName(req.params.table)
    const myFieldValue = santizeValue(req.params.jenis_kelamin)

    sequelize.query("SHOW KEYS FROM '"+ TABLE_PREFIX + myTableName +"' WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
    .then(function(keys) {
        var jenis_kelamin =req.params.jenis_kelamin;
        return sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM '"+TABLE_PREFIX+myTableName+"' WHERE jenis_kelamin = '"+myFieldValue+"' ", { type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT})
    })
    .then(function(rows) {
        if(!rows.length) {
            res.status(404);
            res.json({
                "success" : 0,
                "data" : "No rows found"
            });
        }
        res.status(200);
        res.json({
            "success" : 1,
            "data" : rows
        });
    })
    .catch( function(err) {
        res.status(404);
        res.send({
            "success" : 0,
            "message" : err.message
        });
    });
});

where the sanitize functions make sure the input from the request doesn't subject you to injection attacks or any other nasty unexpected thing.

This site details the freeways and major highways of the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN metro area, which is and always has been my first home. Thanks to extensive research during my trips back home, I also include highways which were considered, but not built. I've broken this "sub-site" down to three main groups: Interstate highways, non-Interstate highways, and my opinion/commentary pages. Each existing highway will also have an Exit List (a log of the various interchanges/major intersections along a given highway).

South African Policies
South Africa's Political Parties do not prioritise your health
South Africa's political parties have shown that when it comes to tobacco control, they don't prioritise the health of the citizens they want votes from.
In February the National Council Against Smoking launched an online survey to get the views of political parties on the Draft Tobacco Control Bill, set to go before Parliament later this year.
The Council sent the survey to eight of South Africa's most well known parties: the African National Congress, the Democratic Alliance, the Economic Freedom Fighters, the Inkatha Freedom Party, the United Democratic Movement, the African Christian Democratic Party, the Azanian People's Organisation and newcomers to the political scene, Good.
They were asked about the Bill in general as well as each of the five elements of the bill:
100% smoke-free indoor public places
The regulation of e-cigarettes
The removal of tobacco marketing and adverts at till points
Plain packaging of cigarettes
The removal of cigarette vending machines
However, a month after receiving the survey, only two of the eight parties responded: newcomers Good and the ACDP. Their responses show that they are serious about the health of the citizens they wish to serve.
The survey results were collated and released today at the launch of the Political Party Health Report Card.
Asked about whether or not they support the Bill, Nthabiseng Lephoko, National Chairperson of Good said: "Illnesses caused by the tobacco like lung cancer, emphysema, asthma and bronchitis cost South Africa almost R60 billion per year. This cost is more than was allocated to fund higher education in 2018 or nearly three times what the increase in VAT to 15% raised for government. Each year, smoking results in more than 40,000 deaths in South Africa."
ACDP Gauteng chair Lesiba Molokomme said that the benefits of the Bill would outweigh the jobs that could be lost.
Molokomme pointed out that the ACDP has been consistently supporting tobacco control in South Africa and that their Member of Parliament Cheryllyn Dudley was the one to propose a ban on smoking in cars when children under the age of 12 were present.
But other parties simply failed to respond to the survey on the Bill and did not attend the launch of the report card.
Savera Kalideen, Executive Director of the National Council Against Smoking, said the poor response to the survey showed that South Africa's political parties do not take the health of voters or the prevention of illness to voters seriously.
"It's very disappointing to us to see that political parties are not engaging with the Draft Tobacco Bill which was released for public comment ten months ago. This shows that political parties are not thinking about the health of the nation at all.
"Smoking increases the harm from diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer, worsening the condition in people who already have these diseases," Kalideen said.
Statistics SA reports that more than half of the estimated 460 000 deaths in 2015 were due to these non-communicable diseases. Aside from the suffering to the individual, an increase in the number of people with tobacco-related illnesses puts more pressure on the country's public health system, which is already under severe pressure.
The National Department of Health needs to be commended for being committed to improving tobacco control legislation in the country in the interest of protecting the health of South Africans.
"But if political parties were serious about our health, they would have made it a priority to understand the Draft Control of Tobacco and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill since it will play a major role in reducing the burden of tobacco-related diseases on our health system in the future," added Kalideen.

Q: Appendix A on Variational Gaussian Process State Space Model On Frigola et al
in the Supplementary material A, equation (19) is:
$\prod_{t=1}^{T}p(\mathbf{f}_t|\mathbf{f}_{1:t-1},\mathbf{x}_{0:t-1},\mathbf{u})=\mathcal{N}(\mathbf{f}_{1:T}|\mathbf{K}_{0:T-1,\mathbf{u}}\mathbf{K}_{\mathbf{u},\mathbf{u}}^{-1}\mathbf{u},\mathbf{K}_{0:T-1}-\mathbf{K}_{0:T-1,\mathbf{u}}\mathbf{K}_{\mathbf{u},\mathbf{u}}^{-1}\mathbf{K}_{0:T-1,\mathbf{u}}^T)$.
My question is:
Shouldn't equation (20) be integration over $\mathbf{f}$ instead of just $\mathbf{f}_t$? And eventually get the equality below:
$\int_{\mathbf{f}}\prod_{t=1}^{T}p(\mathbf{f}_t|\mathbf{f}_{1:t-1},\mathbf{x}_{0:t-1},\mathbf{u})=\int_{\mathbf{f}_t} p(\mathbf{f}_t|\mathbf{x}_{t-1},\mathbf{u})$
also in equation (9) in page 4 it seems they use they above equality since:
$\eqalign{\mathbb{E}_{q}[\log\prod_{t=1}^Tp(\mathbf{x}_t|\mathbf{f}_t)] & = \sum_{t=1}^T\mathbb{E}[\log p(\mathbf{x}_t|\mathbf{f}_t)] \\
& = \sum_ {t=1}^T \int_{\mathbf{x,u}}q(x)q(u)\int_{\mathbf{f}}\prod_{t=1}^{T}p(\mathbf{f}_t|\mathbf{f}_{1:t-1},\mathbf{x}_{0:t-1},\mathbf{u})\log p(\mathbf{x}_t|\mathbf{f}_t)\\
& = \sum_ {t=1}^T\int_{\mathbf{x,u}}q(x)q(u)\int_{\mathbf{f}_t}p(\mathbf{f}_t|\mathbf{x}_{t-1},\mathbf{u})\log p(\mathbf{x}_t|\mathbf{f}_t)}$
where the last equality is the last term from the RHS of their equation (20).

Home Jammu & Kashmir
In freezing Kupwara, Pune medico leads women's march to 'Save the Girl Child'
by Indo Asian News Service
in Jammu & Kashmir
By: Quaid Najmi/IANS
Kupwara (J&K)/Pune: Over 2,000 people, mostly women, led by Pune gynaecologist Dr Ganesh Rakh, trooped onto the streets of Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara town for a march in the freezing temperature, raising slogans of 'Beti Bachao', the organisers said on Tuesday.
The event – which saw the first of its kind biggest procession in Kupwara – marked the 11th year of Rakh's 'Beti Bachao Janandolan' (BBJ) and the 192nd birth anniversary of Savitribai J. Phule, the legendary social reformer of Maharashtra who inspired the unique campaign.
The marchers, with more than 90 per cent women in the age group of 18-40 marched down the Kupwara road with Rakh at the helm, carrying banners, placards and posters to save the girl child and raising slogans, in the town with a population of around 100,000.
The procession later culminated into a public meeting that was addressed by Kupwara Deputy Commissioner Sagar Doifode, Chief Medical Officer Dr Basir Ahmed, Government Degree College Principal, Prof Mohamad Shofi, Medical Officer Dr. Firdoz Ahmed Bhat, Asha worker Raffika Lulabi and social worker Fayaz Ahmed, besides Rakh.
Citing shocking figures, Rakh said that as per the 2001 Census, the male:female ratio of J&K was 1000:892, but in 2011, it fell to an abysmal 1000:889 well below the national average of 1000:940.
"The figures of the 2021 Census are not available, but there are indications that the situation may become more alarming this time all over," warned Rakh.
Doifode appreciated the efforts of BBJ and Rakh in creating awareness and the importance of "celebrating the girl child" and said that in the coming days, similar programmes shall be organised in the entire Jammu & Kashmir.
Lulabi fervently called upon the people and parents to "treat all daughters with dignity and equal as the sons," and emphasised that this was imperative to protect the girl child for a better future.
"The girl child is our tomorrowa She is not a burden on the family, without her the family, the community and society cannot flourish or progress," she said.
Bhat pointed out how people say that Islam allows more than one marriage, "but if the current trend persists, boys will find it difficult to get a girl for even one marriage in the near future", and urged the need to protect girls.
The landmark event was organised by the Kupwara Divisional Commissionerate, the District Health Department along with ICDS, GDC, Shakti Mission, and Asha Workers, besides other local organisations and NGOs, said Rakh.
The Pune medico launched the BBJ at his small Medicare Hospital, a maternity hospital on January 3, 2012, by waiving all bills if a female infant was born.
Initially labelled as the 'Mad Doctor', the trend soon caught on and till date, Medicare Hospital has notched 2,450 free deliveries of baby girls, along with celebrations, cutting cake, distributing sweets and merry-making for all, in the past 11 years.
After IANS first highlighted his venture a decade ago, the BBJ movement shot into global limelight and Rakh was invited to launch it in several African countries, besides pending invites from Europe, USA, Canada, Gulf countries, Asia and Far Eastern nations, owing to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
"In the past 11 years, the BBJ has attracted over half-million medicos, 13,000 social organisations, and 2.50 million volunteers who are working in their own ways to save the girl all over India, and we have conducted over 1,000 marches/rallies in the country and abroad for the humanitarian cause," he said with a tinge of pride.

Startups fail. That's part of the natural entrepreneurial cycle.
A great post is making the rounds from an entrepreneur who has 30 days left before he hits the wall. His blog - My Startup has 30 Days to Live - promises to be a powerful one, at least for 30 days. I'm only sad about two things: (1) It's anonymous and (2) There are no comments so it's one way.
I left a message on "Ask me anything" asking him/her to reach out if I can help. We'll see if he/she responds - or it's either (a) a one way rant or (b) a fake failure story.
Either way, entrepreneurs need to talk about failure. It's fine - I've failed at a ton of things. On Monday, I gave my "How To Fail" talk at Techstars Boulder. Included were all the Startup Summer students as well as a bunch of members of the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado. I told the story of my first failure (my first company - Martingale Software) and my biggest failure (Interliant). I made some broad points and then did an hour of Q&A.
I see entrepreneurs, especially first time entrepreneurs, in denial all the time about the possibility of failure. "Failure is not an option", or "I'm afraid to fail", or "Everything is going great" (when it isn't). Sometimes failure is your best option.
Denial of reality - and what you can do - is a big issue. Ignoring reality until it's too late is another. Not reaching out for help when there is still time is yet another. Fear of failure - which is the mind killer - is yet another.
In one of my darkest moments of Interliant, I was sitting hunched over at the kitchen table of one of my co-founder's (Len Fassler) - breakfast table. We had a brutal day in front of us and I was waiting for him to finish getting dressed so we could head to the office to deal with things. When he came into the kitchen, he saw me and said "C'mon Brad - suit up - let's go." He patted me on the back in the wonderful way he always does and said "Just remember - they can't kill you and they can't eat you."
Follow My Startup has 30 Days to Live. Learn from it. And if the entrepreneur uncloaks, let's try to help, even if it's just providing emotional support.
The post Talking About Failure appeared first on Feld Thoughts.

Chris Sheldrick
When Chris Sheldrick used to organise live music events, he got really cheesed off with people getting lost: suppliers turning up at the wrong gate, bands arriving late at the venue, festival-goers struggling to meet. So he set up what3words - a location app that divides the world into 3-metre squares and gives every square a 3-word 'address'. It is pure genius and set to conquer the world.
Patrick Scott - 5th November 2019
Chris Sheldrick - one of the founders of what3words
Chris, what us what3words?
It's a location app. We've divided the entire world into 3-metre squares and given each a unique 3 word address - made up of three words from the dictionary. So, for instance, the entrance to our London office is at ///filled.soap.count.
Why is it useful to have a 3 word address?
Because traditional address systems like postcodes cover too wide an area. If you are a logistics firm, a photographer, a postal service, a food delivery company or you are in the travel or navigation business, you need more precision. And if you want to meet a friend at a festival or park, you need a simple to tell them the exact spot. 3 word addresses are simple and precise. They answer a need.
Before w3w: "Just past the blue tent, to the left of the loos ..."
How do I find out what the 3 words for a location are?
You go to what3words.com or our app and search on the map. The 3 words for your chosen location will display. Or download our free app which gives you the 3 words for your current location. It's really easy.
3 words for your current location, or anywhere else
No, for individuals it's completely free. NGOs too can use it free or for a nominal fee. Businesses using it for commercial purposes buy licences for our products including our API and SDKs which allow them to integrate w3w into their own systems.
Can you give some examples of how people might actually use 3 words?
People around the world use what3words in all sorts of ways - both everyday and creative. Some use it to give guests the 3 word address for their front doors - from the Isle of Mull in Scotland to Airbnbs in Barcelona.
We've been used to coordinate safety efforts during Glastonbury, by parachuters looking to identify their landing location, and by Mercedes-Benz drivers to navigate to a specific place.
We've been woven into plotlines for NCIS: Los Angeles, and used by Steven Speilberg's team filming Ready Player One to coordinate specific shots.
We're also used by many craft makers to create bespoke items with 3 word addresses of significant places on them.
Taking the guesswork out of meeting up
Does what3words link with Google Maps?
Yes, you can specify a 3 word address and then open that location in Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, Uber and CityMapper, among others.
What about Amazon?
We're not integrated into Amazon check-out yet, but we are used on other ecommerce platforms around the world. We regularly announce new integrations with retailers, so keep an eye out for future updates.
Can I choose what the 3 words are for my home?
No, the 3 words for every location have already been set and they can't be changed. There are lots of reasons for this but the main one is to make the app easier to use.
For instance, we've placed the more simple and common words in each language in places where the native speakers of that language are likely to be. So in our Japanese-language version, the shorter and more memorable words are for locations in Japan. The more complex words are for locations outside Japan where there are fewer Japanese speakers.
We've also placed similar-sounding 3 word addresses as far apart as possible, so that it's easier to identify error. ///table.chair.lamp is in Australia, whereas ///table.chair.damp is in America. A user who accidentally puts in 'damp' instead of 'lamp' will quickly realise something is wrong.
If users were allowed to pick their 3 word address, these product improvements would be impossible.
What about abroad? I can imagine that this would be a really useful tool if you're trekking in the wild?
Some of the most incredible places on the planet are off the beaten track and don't have an address - but you need to be able to find them! By using what3words it's incredibly easy to find and share hidden gems. In fact, we're used more and more by photographers and travel bloggers who want to be able to direct people to these places.
This year, many emergency services around the UK integrated what3words, meaning 999 callers can provide or are asked for a 3 word address, and help can be dispatched to that exact location, saving precious time. We know that we've been used in many rural areas - from lost hikers, by coastguards, horse riders and farmers.
It sounds like the sort of idea which gathers momentum and eventually reaches a tipping point. How fast is it growing?
We started off in 2013 with just an idea and the three of us.
Six years later, what3words is available in 37 languages, ranging from Japanese to Arabic, Hindi to Portuguese and is being used by over 1,000 businesses, governments and NGOs in 170 countries.
We've got a global team of over 100 people with offices in the UK, US, South Africa, Mongolia and The Middle East.
That's a big payroll – who is backing the venture?
To get to where we are today we put a lot of energy into seeking out the right investors to bring the business credibility, contacts, experience, and knowledge as well as funding. We are incredibly lucky to have a range of industry-experts backing what3words, all drawing upon extensive expertise in the automotive, technology, venture capital, and challenger sectors.
To date, we've raised over £40 million in venture capital. Our recent investors include the Sony Innovation Fund, Daimler, SAIC Motor Corp, and Alpine Electronics - all of which have strong ties to the automotive industry. Previous investors include Aramex, Deutsche Bahn and Intel Capital.
Thank you Chris.

What is a Bulletin?
The Jenks&Co Bulletin is an email highlighting the most recent profile interviews on Jenks&Co, and it also has details of any competitions we're running, special offers, and other news.
We send our Bulletins at irregular intervals, when we've got something interesting to say. So if you haven't opted in yet, give it a try!

HomeUnited NationsDeep fears of violent crackdown in Myanmar, UN rights chief warns
Deep fears of violent crackdown in Myanmar, UN rights chief warns
"Given the security presence on the streets in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, as well as in other cities, there are deep fears of a violent crackdown on dissenting voices", High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet said in a statement on Monday.
"I remind the military leadership that Myanmar is bound by international human rights law, including to respect the right to peaceful assembly, and to refrain from using unnecessary or excessive force", she added.
High Comissioner Bachelet also called on the international community to "stand in solidarity with the people" of Myanmar at this time. She also urged all nations with influence to take steps "to prevent the crumbling of the fragile democratic and human rights gains made by Myanmar during its transition from military rule."
Many international organizations, countries and civil society leaders also condemned the military's actions. The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Myanmar.
Since Monday's events, dozens of individuals – including political leaders and elected parliamentarians – have been arrested or confined to their homes. Many journalists and human rights defenders are also reported to have been attacked or harassed.
The military takeover followed days of escalating tensions between the military and the government following the November 2020 elections, which was won by the Aung San Suu Kyi-led National League for Democracy (NLD) .
The polls were only the second democratic elections in Myanmar since the end of nearly five decades of military rule. The first elections, in 2015, were also won by NLD.
Concerns for the Rohingya community
There are also concerns over the situation of the minority, mainly Muslim, Rohingya community, who in the past have faced violent persecution by the military. About 600,000 Rohingyas are said to remain in the country's Rakhine state, including about 120,000 who are effectively confined to camps.
In 2017, over 700,000 Rohingyas were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge across the border, in Bangladesh, following widespread attacks by Myanmar's security forces, in retaliation for attacks on remote police outposts by armed groups alleged to belong to the community. Their return, remains uncertain.
Thomas Andrews, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar.
Strong international response 'imperative'
Tom Andrews, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, urged the international community to show resolve in denouncing the military's actions, and to ensure those responsible for the country's past human rights violations are held accountable.
"Decisive action is imperative, including the imposition of strong targeted sanctions, and an arms embargo until such time as democracy is restored", the independent rights expert said in a statement on Monday.
"The onus is, thus, on the international community to hold the Tatmadaw [the Myanmar military] responsible", he stressed.
A dark shadow 'once again'
Mr. Andrews went on to note that the the seizure of military power cast a dark shadow "once again" over the country, and that "the generals have created a climate of fear and anxiety."
He demanded democratic order be restored immediately, power returned to elected authorities, and all detainees released.
"We also call on the Tatmadaw to avoid any use of force against protesters or civilians, and to respect the rights of the people of Myanmar to peacefully protest and express their opposition", the expert said.

The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar was established by the then Commission on Human Rights in 1992. It was broadened in 2014 and 2016.
First Person: Learning a recipe for freedom in Nigeria


Montauk, New York is not only part of a popular relaxation spot for the rich and famous but it is also an area that has been involved in many a mystery. This includes the Montauk Project, in which the government was believed to have been tampering with the idea of time travel. The most recent mystery at Montauk is that of the Montauk Monster.
On July 12 2008 on Ditch Plaines beach near Montauk a bloated, hairless creature washed ashore. The creature had a small beak with several sharp teeth and a thin rat-like tail. When people discovered it, they quarreled about what it was. Some thought it was a sea turtle without the shell, others believed it to be some sort of mutant that had washed ashore from the nearby Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
Regardless of what it was, stories about the mysterious Montauk Monster began to circulate in local papers. The photo of the monster went viral and made its appearance in many a paranormal web blog.
When the press went to actually find the body, the people who had found it refused to give it's location. Well, not so much that they refused to tell, they stated that someone had taken the body and put it in the woods of their backyard. Still today, no one had found the body of the creature in general. All skeptics and experts have to go on is the singular photo that had been circulated around the internet.
At first many though it was some kind of sea turtle that had lost its shell. However, while the beak may suggest a turtle, turtles do not have long sharp teeth.
Others suggest it is a large rodent. Perhaps out there really are large rats that have thus far only made appearances in every dungeon crawler video games ever. Rodents, however, have long curved incisors in the front of their mouth. As the picture suggests, it only has them on the bottom jaw. Though the picture is at an odd angle. Many have put forth that it was a Capybara because of the shape of it's body. That was quickly debunked, considering the Capybara has no tail.
William Wise, director of Stony Brook University's Living Marine Resources Institute, believes that because of the shape of its body believes it to be some kind of dog or coyote that was diseased and was out at sea for awhile. However, some have argued of the size of the animal. Some say it was the size of the dog, others say is was no bigger than the average cat.
This is the most popular belief. Many believe the Montauk Monster story to be debunked saying that it was in fact a raccoon because of the shape of its skull is similar. However, while a raccoons skull ends in a bit of a stub nose, it has long incisors like a rodent and front teeth. Nothing about its top jaw is beak-like in any way. Though, again, it does appear that the top jaw is obscured by sand. Skeptics also say that the limbs are far too elongated to be a raccoon, but decomposition can cause limbs to lengthen.
Larry Penny, East Hampton's director of natural resources, states that old raccoons often wonder into the marshes to die and it is likely that this animal got washed away by high tide and bloated away it's fur in the sea water.
There have been several other incidents of mysterious creatures washing up. Not in Montauk, but the first is in Panama.
This alien creature certainly is strange looking. It washed up in Panama around September in 2009. It was deemed the Panama Creature and was set up to be the next Montauk monster. The story goes that some teenagers saw it crawling around and beat it to death with a stick. Since, unlike the Montauk Monster, the remains were left on the beach experts were able to do an autopsy.
The autopsy revealed that it was a sloth who had shed its hair in the ocean and started to bloat there. This analysis was not quite as farfetched as the Montauk Monster has you can see trademark sloth claws on its hand.
In May 2011, another odd looking creature washed up in Northville, New York. The student that discovered it said that it resembled the Montauk Monster in many ways, however this one was never identified and no autopsy was performed. After the student reported it, the corpse was seemingly washed away.
In July 2012, yet another odd creature washed up. This time in East River under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Comparisons were drawn between this monster and the Montauk Monster, however park officials deemed it to be a bloated pig.
Because of the lack of a body, people still argue about the Montauk Monster today. They believe that it was some kind of new species or at least a mutated one.
There are a certain sect of people, however, that believe the whole thing was a hoax. They believe that it was a monster made out of latex to look similar to some animals, yet distinctly different. They believe the man who took the corpse was the creator just trying to stir up some news. This has a lick of probability as everyone else who was at the monsters corpse new a few other people there, however no one seemed to know the man that took the body.
Montauk is a popular vacation spot for the rich that want to get away from the pace of New York City and rich people, like anyone else, get bored. Rich people who are bored have a lot more resources to work with than us peons, so it would be easy to stir up a hoax if the mood struck.
It is really up to what you want to believe. Most believe it was a raccoon, some like to believe it is something paranormal (not alien, just not normal), and some think this is just some silly hoax.
I like the theory it was an escaped government experiment. That idea is the most fun.
Yep, agree with JadeDragon and KimChaos. Interesting indeed!
This was a very interesting article. I liked it. I believe like JadeDragon, that it could have been an escaped government experiment. Remember the Nazi, Dr. Josef Mengele how he experimented with humans.

I often get emails from readers of this blog asking what kinds of things they can do to make their business more eco-friendly, so when I found out about SunRidge Farms' bike-to-work program for employees I knew that I had to share it with all of you.
I love it when I find out wonderful things that green companies do to help out the environment. It may be a feel good story or it might just be an idea that you can use for your company in helping it turn green. I recently corresponded with a team member from SunRidge Farms, a grower of organic and natural foods, and what I found out was simple but it spoke volumes about the company and its commitment to environmental issues. The bike-to-work program pays employees $5.00 per day to ride to and from work. They say that some employees make as much as $100.00 per month.
This just proves that the simplest of ideas, just a little bit of imagination, can produce amazing things. I salute SunRidge Farms and their commitment to the environment. I hope that small and large businesses out there can take SunRidge Farms' idea and perhaps implement it in their company, or a variation of it. If it makes sense for your company, try doing something similar, or take SunRidge farm's idea and add to it.
Paying employees may not be possible if you have a small business, but there must be others ways to make a difference. If you are serious about making your company greener, no matter its size, why not have a round-table discussion and brainstorm how you can 'green' your business. If your company does not have a recycling program, that is a good place to start. If your business receives or makes deliveries it makes sense to institute a policy where all delivery drivers are allowed to idle their vehicles for no more than 2 or 3 minutes before having to shut the engine off.
Let SunRidge Farms' bike-to-work program inspire you. Small changes can lead to greater ideas and perhaps your business can come up with a simple yet important idea to make it a greener company. You may even want to share your ideas with our readers by leaving a comment below. Simple ideas and positive changes is where green business begins.

Q: Webservice for Client testing some time ago I've read of a Webservice, that simulates a large number of clients to your Website / Webapp, which click randomly everywhere and log every error or timeout they produce with that behaviour. As far as I remember it was based on javascript.
It's like Zombie.js / Phantom.js, but only as a Service without having to do the setup self.
Does anybody know this service?
(Things I've already excluded: WebServiceStudio, Storm, SoapUi

A: I guess you want to test how well your webservice works. I have used JMeter which is very good.
