A: Seems like you are trying to start the GUI version of JMeter and not the NON GUI version.
If you want to run JMeter on the commandline, you can take a look at this page: http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/using-apache-jmeter-in-non-gui-mode/

A: jmeter -n -t MyTestPlan.jmx

-n ensures it runs in non-GUI mode.
You should see something like -

In my last two posts, I summarized my trip to Washington D.C. to lobby for physical activity and discussed some of the historical work that allowed us to determine physical activity is important for our health. Over the next several blog posts, we will continue to explore current issues surrounding physical activity levels in America. First let's discuss the current physical activity recommendations.
If we were to summarize the current minimum physical recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) in one sentence it would read: "Engage in moderate intensity exercise 30 minutes per day most days per week." To further specify, we will say most means five days per week. However, it has recently been suggested that in addition to getting regular exercise, we should strive to build in activity throughout our day [1, 2]. "Sitting is the new smoking!" has been a rallying call around the internet and social media advocated by exercise physiologists, physical therapists, cardiologists, personal trainers, and more. So our question for the next couple of posts is, Are we meeting the minimum physical recommendations and are they enough?
I'll start out by stating the obvious, a little exercise is better than no exercise and that for most people, more is better. The graph to the right shows that the more moderate to vigorous exercise you engage in per week, the less risk you have of death from all causes. We can see the biggest decline is from 0 to 100 minutes, again indicating that something is better than nothing. However, we can also see that there is what we could call a dose response (i.e., the more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, the better).
The reason I say "a little exercise is better than no exercise and that for most people, more is better" is because some athletes, including recreational athletes do over train and under-recover, meaning they exercise two or three hours per day (sometimes more) and don't facilitate recovery by drinking enough fluids, taking in enough high-quality calories, taking days off, and getting adequate, restful sleep*. Again, this only applies to a very small percentage of the population though. To their credit, the CDC and AHA have made it clear that more is better for the general population.
To answer the first part of our question - Are we meeting the minimum physical recommendations? - most Americans fail to even meet minimum physical activity requirements (see the CDC stats here).
Just over 50% of adults aged 18 and over meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for aerobic physical activity.
Even worse, only about 20% of adults aged 18 and over meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity.
You can access full-text of the 2013 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Not surprisingly, age, education, and body composition were all associated with varying levels of physical activity. For example, over 30% of 18-24 year olds met the aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity recommendations, while less than 16% of those 65 years and older did. Over 27% of college educated adults met the recommendations, while less than 13% of those with less than a high school diploma did.
These data were analyzed from survey data collected from nearly 500,000 U.S. adults aged 18 and older. The survey participants were randomly selected and represent constituents from across all 50 states. Its worth mentioning that these are self-reported data as well, meaning the respondents likely overestimated how physically active they really were .
So, before we can debate about Americans needing more than the minimum recommended amount of physical activity, we should try to get our population just to meet current guidelines before stressing out about needing even more physical activity. Furthermore, the CDC, AHA, and other major health organizations already acknowledge that getting above the minimum recommendations is preferred. Lastly, many proponents of increased physical activity advocate for policy and societal changes that would also help those struggling to meet current guidelines get there.
In our next post (part III), we'll discuss some of the reasons Americans are not meeting physical activity recommendations and some proposed solutions to help get us there. Then in part IV we'll address the 2nd part of our question posed here (are the minimum physical recommendations enough). Until then, drop any questions or comments below and stay tuned!
* Strava is a company trying to help athletes determine how "fresh" they are to prevent over training. I have no affiliation with the company, but have heard good things.
I use my Fitbit Charge 2 to track my steps and get a crude measure of my sleep quality. They sell simple trackers for as low as $60, and many other products to help monitor your health and health behaviors. Again, I have no affiliation.

I am a real estate agent representing a purchaser. We are trying to schedule a closing with the seller, who is out of the country. The seller's attorney informed us that the closing cannot be scheduled for a couple of weeks because the seller needs to have a power of attorney notarized. Why does it take so long for the seller to have the power of attorney notarized out of the country?
By using a power of attorney (POA), the seller can designate a person to attend the closing and sign documents on the seller's behalf. In the United States, the seller must execute the POA in the presence of a notary. When overseas, a POA must be signed in the presence of a notarizing official at a local United States embassy or consulate. The seller must schedule an appointment with the local United States embassy or consulate to utilize the notary service. It has been our experience that obtaining such an appointment can take weeks.
Important Tip: If you are aware that one of the parties to a transaction will be travelling overseas at any point in the transaction, it would make sense to suggest that the party speak to his or her attorney regarding executing a POA prior to the party's departure. If the party is already overseas and he or she is going to need to sign a POA (or other documents that require notarization), then the party should immediately schedule a "notarization appointment" with the United States embassy or consulate.

Emergency measures mooted for EU fishing fleet
European Commission argues for a sharp increase in levels of aid member states can provide fishermen.
By Zoe Casey
The European Commission has said it hopes to persuade Europe's fisheries ministers to back emergency measures aimed at helping the EU's beleaguered fishing sector cope both with a sharp increase in fuel costs and with the restructuring of the industry.
Joe Borg, commissioner for fisheries, said on 17 June that urgent measures are needed in the fishing sector since it is "much more vulnerable" than other sectors to the rise in fuel costs. Prices of fuel have soared by 240% since 2004 in the fishing sector, sparking protests by fishermen across Europe in recent weeks.
Borg also stressed, however, that the fishing industry's current crisis runs deeper than fuel, arguing that the industry has "suffered from a vicious circle of overcapacity, over-fishing, and declining profitability".
The measures, which could be agreed at the next EU fisheries council on 24 June, focus on financial incentives to push the EU fleet into restructuring. Aid would be increased for modernisation schemes, including the decommissioning of older vessels in favour of more energy-efficient boats, as well as spending on more environmentally friendly fishing methods.
Ministers from seven EU member states with sizeable fishing fleets – France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain – called on 17 June for the Commission to more than triple the amount of aid that states can provide fishing companies, from €30,000 over three years to €100,000.
Borg has agreed both in principle to the increase in state aid and with an overall cap of €100,000 per enterprise. He also indicated that money could be allocated per vessel rather than per firm, as it is now.
Other urgent measures could also be adopted at the meeting of fisheries ministers on 24 June, the Commission outlined. These could include emergency aid to cover a three-month period in which fishermen would be obliged to halt their fishing activities. This would allow stocks time to recover, and it would improve the condition of the fish market, the Commission said.
Another measure aims at improving the market value of fish. Price monitoring, labelling schemes to fight against illegal fishing and marketing schemes to promote the nutritional value of fish would all play a part in this measure. A further measure would extend early retirement aid, which is currently only granted to fishermen, to all workers in fisheries-related activities, such as auction halls and port services.

He was the first one to send me a message on my FB account. Our virtual relationship lasted for a month. He presented himself as a divorced man with a 12 years old daughter, having caught his wife with his best friend. Being disappointed by what happened to him he said he had lived a lonely life for seven years. He said he was employed in BP shipping department being involved in international business trips he was not able to take care of his daughter so ha had to sent her to live with his sister's family in Miami. The story was touching and he seemed very serious without any signs to be a scammer. He pretended to be in love with me and was about to come to me to get married, but first he had to go on a business trip to Australia and he was to come right to my place and his daughter and sister as well. He asked me to find a house that he would buy in my place, so we could have a family house both here and in London. When his business trip in Australia was over he informed to have been given a project i Qatar so his coming to me was prolonged for 2 more weeks. He asked me to write him my address so he could send a parcel to me with his valuable things as he didn't want to take them to Qatar because as he said he had to work down the sea. So I gave him the address and he sent me a copy of the airway bill which confirmed that he sent that parcel. He also gave me the web page where I could track the parcel. The parcel's route was Australia-Malaysia-Macedonia. It was stated that he paid for the insurance and the transport and the clearance was to be paid in Malaysia. So i had to pay $1600 to CANEAR ANAK PIRINE. So, I did. But in the afternoon they called me and sent me an email saying that the scan discovered a great amount of currency and he was fined $9500. I phoned him and he acted as if being surprised and out of his mind. I told him I didn't have that much money, so he later pretended to have pleaded with the people in Malaysia and they agreed to pay them $5000. I was not able to get as much money, so he started pretending to ask his sister borrow 2500 dollars and me to send 2500 dollars. So, I managed to borrow that amount and sent it to another person: PATRICK ABOLARINWA ABIOSE. Then I tracked the parcel having arrived in Turkey. And in the middle of the night he called me saying that the people from Turkey scanned the parcel again and did not want to send it to me until we pay the rest 4500 dollars. Again he said his sister found 1500 dollars, and I borrowed another $3000 which I sent to the same PATRICK ABOLARINWA ABIOSE. Two days later, early in the morning I was awaken by someone telling me to read a message on my email. I was shocked. They were asking for$2200 more for another insurance. Then I talked to him and told him that someone is trying to steal his money and probably it is scamming but he didn't want to listen to me saying that it's all his fault because he sent that money to me. Then I started doing a research on the internet and found out that last year he was scamming Russian women using another name which is Frank Anderson,email: frank_anderson1966@yahoo.co.uk. I found this data simply writing his phone number on GOOGLE search. So he used the same phone number using another name. Next, I didn't tell him I knew he was a scammer waiting to see what is next. When he realized I am not able to send him the $2200 he stopped writing to me. I tried to play a game saying that I am willing to sell my house and compensate him for what he lost in the parcel. He asked how much money I would receive for the house and I told him it would be about EUR 150.000 at least. But he stopped here and never wrote to me again. Amazingly, two days later I got two more messages on FB but this time they were sent by two different people. Their names are John Britt and Franklin Nicholas. I suppose he is going to try to get the money ,,I said I would get by selling my house,, I cheked the names of these two people and found out they were already registered scammers.

Floyd D. Tunson: Son of Pop
"You will experience all the beauty, intensity, humor, and toughness in Tunson's work." — Blake Milteer, Museum Director
For over four decades, Floyd Tunson (born 1947) has been among the most highly regarded and influential artists in the Rocky Mountain region. He has achieved a rich and diverse body of work via media such as painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking – often combining the language of these various media in single works.
The exhibition reflects the scope of Tunson's career and work. It will include various bodies of work through which Tunson has addressed concepts such as cultural identity, American social history, pop culture, art history, and the beauty of pure abstraction. The exhibition centers upon the bold installations Hearts and Minds, Delta Queen, Haitian Dream Boats, andPop-up Rodeo. Other works in the exhibition relate to these installations, yet speak of their own aesthetic and conceptual concerns. Included are the Endangered series' beautifully-rendered portraits of African-American youth, the Nubian series' abstract dialogue with the crossroads of Africa, and the Synchro-Mesh series' reflection of Tunson's travels in the American south. Tunson's Remix series and other select works look to a synthesis of popular culture and art historical imagery with the artist's equally critical and reverent eye.
Tunson says that from one direction he sees "the terror of chaos, man's inhumanity to man, mortality, and the unknown. From another direction, the human condition seems like a magnificent, orderly evolution of extraordinary beauty" and he states that the totality of his work reflects his "quest to comprehend and express these forces and their interconnectedness."
Tunson received his BA from Adams State College in 1969. Over his career he earned a reputation as one of the region's most influential art teachers for three decades while simultaneously creating his own work and exhibiting nationally. Tunson's art is included in the collections of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, the Denver Art Museum, the Kaiser-Permanente Corporation, the Walter O. Evans Collection of African-American Art, and many private collections nationwide.
This will be Tunson's first major survey of his life's work to-date. The exhibition is organized to reflect the confluence of Tunson's themes and media over four decades, will occupy the entire second floor as well as the main corridor and have an accompanying full-color catalogue with an essay by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa.

2015 Parish Pilgrimage
Each year the Parish Pastoral Council organised a Parish Pilgrimage. Recent years has seen trips to Croagh Patrick, Lough Derg and also to the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin.
St. Mel's Cathedral in Longford was destroyed by fire on Christmas Day 2009. In 2010, reconstruction commenced and on Christmas Eve 2014, the Cathedral was re-opened for the people of Longford. Our priest in residence of Clifferna, Francis Duffy was ordained Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise in October 2013. Since the Cathedral was re-opened, he offered us a detailed tour of the newly reconstructed St. Mels.
We took this into account when organising our September 2015 tour, so to make a day of it, we arranged a guided tour of Clonmacnoise, followed by full access to the site and museum which houses many high crosses. On our way home to Cavan, we stopped off at St. Mel's where Bishop Francis gave us a look around and tour.
A total of 33 people travelled on September 5th, and it is safe to say that it was an enjoyable day and a good time was had by all.

A nursing home employee's announcement that he was wearing an explosive vest sparked a heavy police response for about an hour Tuesday morning, police said Wednesday.
Stephen Shepherd, 67, of 150 Pine St., Manchester, was arrested on charges of first-degree threatening and breach of peace. Shepherd was held on bail of $25,000 for an appearance in Manchester Superior Court on April 23.
Officers were dispatched to Touchpoints at Manchester, 333 Bidwell St., at about 10:15 a.m. on a threatening complaint. On their way to the scene, police learned that Shepherd had been in a union meeting about an upcoming vote on a potential strike when he became angry, the report said.
Shepherd said, "(Expletive) the union, (expletive) the bosses and (expletive) the employees," and then announced, "I am wearing a vest and I am about to push the button," the police report said. Shepherd then walked away and ended up in an office in a lower level of the building. He had a backpack, but did not appear to be wearing an explosive vest, an employee told police, according to the report.
A total of 12 police officers, including patrol officers, detectives and supervisors, responded to the scene, police spokesman Lt. Ryan Shea said. Repeated attempts to reach Shepherd on his cellphone were unsuccessful, and police locked down the upper two floors of the building.
At about 11 a.m., a team of officers entered the building and made contact with Shepherd, who was described in the report as calm and compliant. He had no weapons or explosives, police said.
Shepherd told police he was upset with the union, but could have handled the incident differently, the report said. He admitted claiming he was wearing an explosive vest, but said he did not intend to be taken seriously, the report said.

Jennifer Ellison Quotes
I think because I did a lot of modelling and appeared in lads mags a lot of women didn't necessarily warm to me. But now I have been through childbirth, post-natal depression and struggled with my weight, women seem to relate to me a lot more.
I want to tell people that I had post-natal depression because there is so much stigma around the subject and there shouldn't be.
When I found out I was pregnant, I was over the moon about it, but I was upset I wasn't married!
Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded.
I'm very close to my family. Not like these big stars – not mentioning any names – who lose the plot and don't know who they are.
If the press see you looking normal they can suddenly be 'oh, she's got a spot on her face, she's having a bad day'. That can be quite cruel.
I just wanted to perform, to sing, dance and act.
I'm an addict for underwear.
I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.
I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past, but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.
I used to be such a daredevil but now I'm much more cautious.
I'm comfortable with my body but I don't like my bum – I think it's too big.
I don't do faddy diets any more. I once did a no-carbs diet a few years ago but it made me depressed. I couldn't be doing with that!
I want to be a young mum and if I didn't have to work I'd have them tomorrow. I'd like three!
I love performing on stage the most. It's getting that instant reaction from a live audience. There are no boundaries, you can take your character as far as you want to, you can be the craziest person ever.
Ballet is such a disciplined craft and it has given me a good grounding.
I was performing from the age of three.
I want to be the best mum and I want everything to be perfect – I want a fairy tale really.
I want to have a family and I'd like to live in a lovely big house, with a massive driveway and gates and loads of kids.
I got a mortgage at 17! I didn't even know you could get a mortgage at 17.

"THERE ARE BUT TWO REASONS why a publication could omit the scale of miles from a so-called 'map'—laziness or arrogance. . . Which was your reason?
LAZINESS: The people in charge are too slip-shod or too indifferent to bother figuring out how far it is from one place to another.
ARROGANCE: This is more interesting. Could the people in charge assume that all their readers already know? ('Everyone we know went to Harvard, didn't they, Charles? Of course they know the distance from Singapore to Peking. Let's not tell them again.') This would be the arrogance of the supercilious educated. . . .Then there is the arrogance, growing all the time, of the anti-elitists. Their assumption would be that nobody cares to know (or, sinister variation) nobody should care to know.
No matter how you analyze it, a 'map' without a scale of miles shows sloppiness or arrogance. What you should show is how many miles equal one inch.
One of the great pleasures provided by maps is to compare areas shown to areas known. You simply cannot do this without a scale of miles. You cannot say, 'Oh yeah, if Boston were there, New York would be here! That's a four hour train ride. But an army on foot. . . ' In short, you cannot learn very much from a map unless you can make comparisons to terrain you already know from personal experience.
A proper map is a fine example of that most basic educational principle: the best way to teach ANYTHING is to use the known as a bridge to the unknown. Word-Wise Educational Services is dedicated to promoting an understanding of this concept. In the matter of maps, what makes the 'bridging' possible is, of course, the scale of miles. No map should leave your office without one."
Article 12>>>Well, "MAP" ALERT! was mildly cute and mildly successful. Some rather shocked editors wrote back to apologize. If you see a map without a scale of miles, send your own "MAP" ALERT!
FOR STUDENTS TO REAP THE MANY BENEFITS OF MAPS, MAPS NEED TO BE OMNIPRESENT: Recent surveys showed that Americans 18-24 don't, in huge numbers, know where California is, or Louisiana, or Iraq, or much of anything. About one-third are totally illiterate, geographically speaking; half are nearly as bad. The problem is that our educators (I mean the top people who shape the system) can find many theoretical reasons for teaching less…but few compelling reasons for teaching more. As you could predict, they scorn maps.
Here is how to teach geography: every classroom has a map of the world and a map of the USA (or whatever country you live in); at least once a day every teacher, from K to 12, points to one of those maps to help explain the news, to discuss people and places mentioned in textbooks, novels, TV, etc., etc. Any pretext for pointing to those maps is a good pretext. Results: maximum gain, little pain.
Want to dumb down a country? Easy. Do not point to maps. Do not have them in the schools. Never mention maps. Instead, encourage students to think of the world as vast, vague, mushy and unknowable.
Maps are effortlessly ergonomic--please see "26: How to Teach History, Etc."
DECEMBER/2006--SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT: I was at a friend's house and we needed to look up "stertorous." The first thing that bothered me was that the stress or accent mark was so microscopic that I couldn't be sure if it was even there. So I'm looking at other words to see how they did the accent, and I realized this dictionary had lots of "maps." Almost 200 "maps" but not one scale of miles. What is this imposter, I thought. Title: The Oxford American College Dictionary, from Putnam's, 2002. How could these people sit around a table and approve such a thunderous dereliction of duty? All the maps are about the same size (column width). But the objects depicted range from Bulgaria to Fiji to Peru. An older educated person has some chance of figuring out approximate sizes, but not that much. I know Bulgaria is fairly substantial but how big is Fiji? Students will just be lost. It would be so easy to include a scale of miles. If you know the editors, tell them to do better in the next edition. Funny, I thought "Oxford" stood for something higher and finer.
MORE SHOCKING: TIME magazine for Nov. 15, 2010, has map of Zimbabwe with inset of Africa. No scale of miles. Nice abstract art. My impression is that liberals think they needn't bother with precision. Fuzziness is a higher authority. That sort of thinking is truly epidemic within the Education Establishment. If we could reverse the decline in the media, then maybe we could persuade the elite educators to come home. Precision is what is. Fuzzy is what's not. TIME?? Do an article on this.
