  • Jasmine

    Jasmine (taxonomic name Jasminum /ˈjæsmnəm/) is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae). It contains around 200 species native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Eurasia, Australasia and Oceania. Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers. A number of unrelated plants contain the word "Jasmine" in their common names (see Other plants called "Jasmine").

    Description

    Jasmines can be either deciduous (leaves falling in autumn) or evergreen (green all year round), and can be erect, spreading, or climbing shrubs and vines. Their leaves are borne opposite or alternate. They can be simple, trifoliate, or pinnate. The flowers are typically around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter. They are white or yellow in color, although in rare instances they can be slightly reddish. The flowers are borne in cymose clusters with a minimum of three flowers, though they can also be solitary on the ends of branchlets. Each flower has about four to nine petals, two locules, and one to four ovules. They have two stamens with very short filaments. The bracts are linear or ovate. The calyx is bell-shaped. They are usually very fragrant. The fruits of jasmines are berries that turn black when ripe.

    Jasmine (Taiwanese singer)

    Jasmine (Chinese: 庭竹; pinyin: Tíng Zhú; born January 5, 1981), also known as Ting Chu, is a singer-songwriter who made her debut in the Taiwanese music industry in 2007. She has a contract under start-up recording company HummingBird Music, the same company Hong Kong-based band Soler belongs to.

    Early life

    Jasmine was born in Taibei, Taiwan on January 5, 1981. She began songwriting in her teenage years after her uncle died. She wrote her first work, "Blessing", after learning to play the guitar. When she entered university, she continued writing music and performing at bars and coffee shops. Upon graduation, she entered into the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California. She was discovered by Hong Kong music producer and Musicians Institute faculty member Lupo Groining, who offered her a contract with HummingBird Music.

    Debut

    Jasmine named her album Yu Sheng - The Sound of Rain (simplified Chinese: 雨声; traditional Chinese: 雨聲) in honor of her idol, Taiwanese singer 張雨生 (Chang Yu-Sheng), using a homophone of Zhang's given name 雨生 (literally 'Rain-Life').

    Jasmine (JavaScript testing framework)

    Jasmine is an open source testing framework for JavaScript. It aims to run on any JavaScript-enabled platform, to not intrude on the application nor the IDE, and to have easy-to-read syntax. It is heavily influenced by other unit testing frameworks, such as ScrewUnit, JSSpec, JSpec, and RSpec.

    Usage

    Jasmine aims to be easy to read. A simple hello world test looks like the code below, where describe() describes a suite of tests and it() is an individual test specification. The name "it()" follows the idea of behavior-driven development and serves as the first word in the test name, which should be a complete sentence. Usage follows syntax similar to that of RSpec.

    The code below tests a function named

    and verifies that its output is the text "Hello world!".

    Jasmine has a number of other features, such as custom matchers, spies, and support for asynchronous specifications.

    History

    The developers at Pivotal Labs for Jasmine previously developed a similar unit testing framework called JsUnit before active development of Jasmine.

    Under the Willow Tree - EP

    by: Jasmine Thompson

    Down by the water, under the willow
    Sits a lone ranger, minding the willow
    He and his wife, once lived happily
    Planted a seed, that grew through the reeds
    Summers and winters, through snowy Decembers
    Sat by the water close to the embers
    Missing out the lives that they once had before
    I wouldn't leave you
    I would hold you
    When the last day comes
    What if you need me
    Won't you hold me
    On the last day, our last day
    Mr. & Mrs., dreamed of a willow
    Carving their names, into their willow
    If he had spoken, love would return
    spoken inside, too soft to be heard
    Summers and winters, through snowy Decembers
    Sat by the water, remembering embers
    Missing out the lives that they once had before
    I wouldn't leave you
    I would hold you
    When the last day comes
    What if you need me
    Won't you hold me
    On the last day, our last day
    Somewhere the timing will all come together
    The mishaps will turn into sunny Decembers
    The lovers will be able to find their willow
    I wouldn't leave you
    I would hold you
    When the last day comes
    I wouldn't leave you
    I would hold you
    When the last day comes
    What if you need me
    Won't you hold me
    On the last day, our last day
