HARRY W. KOCH, JR., PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency in the case of Harry Koch, dated February 8, 1985.
David A. Scholl, for petitioner.
Lawana M. Johns, for respondent.
President Judge Crumlish, Jr., Judge Rogers, and Senior Judge Kalish, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
[ 95 Pa. Commw. Page 507]
Harry W. Koch (petitioner) has petitioned for review of an order of a hearing examiner affirming the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency's (PHFA) denial of petitioner's application for mortgage assistance.
The petitioner and his first wife, Frances, obtained a mortgage loan in 1977 to finance the purchase of a house. The couple separated in 1979 and Frances continued to occupy the house and pay the mortgage. Frances moved out of the house in August 1982 and rented it to her sister with the understanding that the mortgage would be paid directly to the mortgagee by the sister as part of her rental obligation.
In April 1983, the petitioner moved back into the house. He began to receive foreclosure notices and discovered that the mortgage had been in default since September 1982. The petitioner did not make payments on the mortgage because at the time the petitioner moved back he was then unemployed. He found work in June 1983.
On May 16, 1984, the mortgagee sent a notice to the petitioner pursuant to the Homeowners' Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (Act 91), Act of December 23, 1983, P.L. 385, 35 P.S. §§ 1680.401c-1680.410c, advising him that his mortgage was delinquent from September 1982 through May 1984. The petitioner filed with PHFA a request for financial assistance pursuant to Act 91 on June 13, 1984; the request was denied. Following a hearing, a hearing examiner affirmed the denial on the ground that the petitioner had failed to meet all of the requirements for eligibility as set forth in Section 404c of Act 91, 35 P.S. § 1680.404c. The examiner found:
1. No reasonable prospect of mortgagor resuming full payments within thirty-six (36) months and paying mortgage by maturity;
[ 95 Pa. Commw. Page 508]
mortgagee is more than 3 years delinquent since September 1, 1982. [Section 404c(a)(5) of Act 91, 35 P.S. § 1680.404c(a)(5).]
2. Mortgagor is not suffering financial hardship due to circumstances beyond mortgagor's control. [Section 404c(a)(4) of Act 91, 35 P.S. § 1680.404c(a)(4).]
3. Unfavorable mortgage credit history of previous 5 years; mortgagor failed to pay mortgage when employed. [Section 404c(a)(9) of Act 91, 35 P.S. § 1680.404c(a)(9).]
The petitioner contests these findings as not supported by the evidence, but since the petitioner had the burden of establishing the facts necessary to his entitlement and the orders were in favor of the PHFA, the petitioner must persuade us that the fact finder capriciously and arbitrarily disregarded evidence which one of ordinary intelligence could not possibly challenge or entertain the slightest doubt as to its truth. Rice v. A. Steiert & Sons, Inc., 8 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 264, 301 A.2d 919 (1973).
The petitioner contests the finding that there was no reasonable prospect that he would resume full payments within thirty-six months or pay the mortgage by its maturity based on his testimony that he could resume payments immediately and make a lump-sum payment toward his delinquency. However, other evidence adduced at the hearing revealed that the petitioner's mortgage was three years in arrears; that the petitioner had adequate resources to pay the mortgage from June 1983 until June 1984 when he applied for assistance; and that the petitioner had paid nothing during that period when he was in default. It was not an act of capricious or arbitrary disregard of evidence on the part of the hearing examiner to have discounted the petitioner's assurance he would do in the future what he had failed to do in the past.
[ 95 Pa. Commw. Page 509]
The petitioner contests the finding that he is not suffering from financial hardship on the ground that the delinquency was not his fault; that he had taken adequate precautions to prevent a delinquency; and that he was deceived by someone he trusted when his former sister-in-law failed to make the payments as promised. The requirement of Act 91 is that he establish that his difficulties were beyond his control. Surely, his sister-in-law's defections were not beyond his control. By a simple inquiry of the mortgagee, he could have righted that condition; and after he got work in 1983 he could have paid the mortgage.
The finding that the petitioner had an unfavorable mortgage credit history for the previous five years is contested on the ground that prior to the current delinquency, dating back to September 1982, the petitioner made all his mortgage payments, which establishes that he had a favorable mortgage credit history.
Section 404c(a)(9) of Act 91, 35 P.S. § 1608.404c(a)(9), provides that except for the current delinquency, the mortgagor shall have had a favorable residential mortgage credit history for the previous five years. The petitioner asserts that the current delinquency is the three year period that he has been in default dating back to September 1982. We agree. The statute clearly states that whether the mortgagor has a favorable credit history is to be determined without considering the current delinquency. The regulations promulgated pursuant to Act 91 provide in pertinent part:
The Agency must determine that the homeowner has had a favorable residential mortgage credit history for the past 5 years. This means that, prior to the present mortgage delinquency, the homeowner shall not have been in arrears on a residential mortgage for a period of more than 3 consecutive months within the previous
[ 95 Pa. Commw. Page 5105]
years, unless such delinquency was the result of financial hardship due to circumstances beyond the homeowner's control (emphasis added).
16 Pa. Code § 40.204(b)(3). This code section further supports the petitioner's interpretation that we must look only at his credit history prior to the current delinquency, which began in September 1982. Accepting petitioner's argument, however, does not require us to overturn the finding of the hearing examiner. The petitioner had the burden to prove that his credit history was favorable for the five years preceding the current default, 1977-1982. There is no evidence on the record regarding the petitioner's credit history during those years and therefore the petitioner has failed to meet his burden.
Order affirmed.
And Now, this 7th day of March, 1986, the order of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency in the above-captioned matter is affirmed.

I just bought a used book from the Amazon marketplace – that's where you go to Amazon and once you find the book you're looking for, you check out if there is a good quality used one being offered by one of millions of people selling their copy. I've sold many of my old books this way – so it ships to you directly from that seller's home or business, and Amazon has a rating system to "somewhat" monitor the transaction.
When I buy a used book this way, I look to see if there is one for sale in my state first, even if it costs more, because it will arrive sooner if local. I found my book, at a reasonable $2 cost, from a seller in my state. I placed the order.
Today I got a "canned" email message thanking me for my order, and saying to expect it in 5-14 business days.
What struck me is that unless these folks fill hundreds of orders a day, they could take a look at the fact that I'm a local buyer, and slighly adjust that statement, or to say, "this is standard delivery, since you're local, it should be sooner" – SOMETHING to make me feel that I'm important as their customer.
So, I sent them a reply email saying that I'm just a few towns away and that they must be shipping it by pack mule to get that book to me in 5-14 business days.
Here's the funny point – the seller COULD have, at this point – just said, oh, sheesh – yep, will be sooner – but here is what he said instead, that caused me to write a post about it:
Sorry, you should get it today or tomrrow. We can't promise anything sooner because, although the local post office is really efficient, sometimes things move realllllll slow.
He was very nice, but he missed the point – as a buyer, I wanted the transaction to feel more personal. Since I buy hundreds of books, RARELY for only $2, I am someone that is worthy of a bit of customization…. don't you feel that way as a consumer? One could say that the Amazon Marketplace seller is just churning and burning – cranking out orders. Just take a closer look next time and find some way to personalize your transactions – in a way that makes you memorable. I guarantee that it wil increase your sales and help give you an extended team of salespeople who will recommend you out in the world. It will cause people to seek you out, and help you create customers for life.

The field of global health is deeply rooted in compassion. Many people who work in global health are fundamentally motivated by compassion, although this is rarely acknowledged collectively or publicly. Recognizing, celebrating, and strengthening the centrality of compassion in global health could reinvigorate the field, make more explicit its goals of health equity and social justice, and empower global health workers to connect more meaningfully with those they seek to serve.
"For most of us, witnessing the suffering of others touches us, moves us, and leads us to want to help. Our compassion leads to engaged action. The more removed we become from contact with those we are trying to help, the more we risk losing touch with the very motivation that influenced our decision to enter global health in the first place." – Mark Rosenberg
The Compassion in Global Health (CiGH) initiative seeks to bring compassion into the center of global health discourse. We hope this will result in reinvigorated practice and transformed relationships, programs, and policies for global health.

Sophocles, Shakespeare, And Walt Williams
Many great writers -- including these three, Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Tennessee Williams -- use illusion in their narratives. This paper will present some instances and passages in which these writers employ illusion in their work.
Sophocles' and Illusion
Interestingly, author Joe Park Poe notes in his book (Heroism and Divine Justice in Sophocles' Philoctetes) that in the plays Antigone and Philoctetes, "The common quality…might be inadequately described as a lack of illusion" (Poe, 1974, p. 6). Instead of illusion as a device, Poe sees "pessimism" and "suffering" in those plays rather than attempts at illusion. The way Sophocles treats his heroes in these two plays is "…variously pathetic, ironic, brutally realistic and perhaps a dozen other adjectives" (Poe, p. 6).
Meanwhile author Mark Ringer disputes Poe's assertions in Ringer's book, Electra and the Empty Urn: Metatheater and Role Playing in Sophocles. According to Ringer, Sophocles' Theban Plays are "flickering 'in and out' of illusion" and the playwright understands that drama "deals in illusion, in the creative tension of one person or object" that represents something other than what is apparent (Ringer, 1998, p. 67).
After all, the "fundamental" issues presented in Sophocles' tragedies are "appearance vs. reality," and Sophocles has the "keenest appreciation" for that gap between perception and reality (Ringer, 68). The "illusion-versus-reality" motif in Antigone is a hugely important part of that play; the reality is shown through what Ringer calls the "brutal, corporal world" of Creon and the illusion is the "invisible world of the dead," which Antigone seems to revere.
An example of illusion vs. reality (one of many in Antigone) is the way Sophocles presents Creon -- who launches into these very righteous and noble-sounding speeches and sentiments (an attempt at reality) -- but who is actually saying very little of substance (an illusion of reality). Ringer calls Creon's speeches as "hollow" as the rhetoric of an "egocentric actor" (69).
In Oedipus Rex, Sophocles creates Oedipus as a great person who has inner strength and the willingness to stick to what he believes is true. But Oedipus is not a great person in terms of his worldly position; rather, his "worldly position in an illusion, which will vanish like a dream" (Bloom, 2009). Moreover, Bloom writes that if "…every man could tear away the last veils of illusion" -- meaning, that is what Oedipus should have done -- and if every man in the world could view human life and time realistically, generations of people might have turned out differently (Bloom, 27-28).
Athena was the "embodiment" of "divine wisdom," according to Bloom. And what Odysseus said in response to Ajax' situation, deals effectively with illusion vs. reality: "I recognize my own: I perceive that all men living are but appearance or unsubstantial shadow" (Bloom, 28). Again the specter of illusion: what a person wants to be viewed as, contrasted with what he actually is -- which might be nothing more than an "unsubstantial shadow."
Shakespeare and Illusion
There probably isn't a writer or playwright that uses illusion more frequently than William Shakespeare. In Othello, for example, Othello constantly tells Desdemona that he loves her but does he really? Does a character love a person that he is plotting to kill? Othello needs to keep up the illusion that he loves her.
Likewise Iago, who gives the illusion of being honest and truthful, but the reality is Iago never really says what he is thinking deep down inside. He is the classic example of a two-faced character, and the brilliant writing of Shakespeare lets the audience in on that little secret deception. Roderigo does a good job of pointing out Iago's fakery: "Faith I have heard too much: for you words and performances are no kin together" (Othello). Meantime Othello seems to believe that Iago is his friend, but that is the illusion; the reality is that he "hates the Moor." Frankly, Iago specialized in illusion because he makes things seem what they clearly are not.
In A Midsummer Night's Dream supernatural phenomena become hard to tell apart from the real world of experience. Indeed the entire play -- while it is on the one hand a great comedy -- is totally wrapped up in illusion. The…[continue]

Not done in any key market, says Mahesh Uppal
Wireless communication is impossible without radio frequency spectrum, a scarce though inexhaustible resource.
In India, where wireless technologies have been central to delivery of wide access to affordable telephony, effective spectrum management is top priority.
Critics argue auctioning at exorbitant prices is counterproductive since commercial players would simply not invest in networks or pass on additional costs to users.
They propose a 'Spectrum Commons' approach where spectrum can be accessed freely as needed without anyone having exclusive rights. Wi-Fi hotspots, with a similar model, largely work well and users seem to enjoy the flexibility and ease.
Such a solution, however desirable, has yet to be implemented, beyond Wi-Fi, in any significant competitive market. There are stringent quality-of-service requirements in voice markets, where bids for spectrum have been especially high.
Latency or periods of inactivity in signal traffic of a few seconds could go unnoticed in Wi-Fi but not in a phone call. In times and areas of high signal traffic the problem could be worse.
The Commons approach could be a challenge for billing customers, which companies deploying networks at huge costs would inevitably need to do.
Policymakers have several ways of mitigating the risks. While rock-bottom call rates, despite high spectrum prices and government levies, would perhaps rule out seriously inefficient use of spectrum, spectrum management still needs improvement.
Designing spectrum auctions better e.g. by factoring in policy objectives more explicitly can deter irrationally high bids. Obligations relating to rollout, user tariffs and developing data markets could be especially useful.
Similarly, permitting and even encouraging sharing and trading of spectrum between operators could remove residual inefficiencies. Only players who have undergone due diligence from security and other government agencies to acquire their licences can possibly do this.
This, and because government receives a substantial share of all operator revenues, will address real or perceived risks of possible mischief or unearned profits.

The Sharp End: A master class in art investment
Having made a shedload of money and in the mood for an acquisition or several, it might not seem the most obvious choice to snap up 6,000 hectares of out-of-the-way Dutch sand drifts and woodland, as well as 91 paintings and 175 drawings by an obscure artist known to have sold only one picture in his entire life.
This, though, is the story of the Kröller-Müllers and the creation of the world's second largest body of works by Vincent van Gogh in the early part of the 20th century. German-born Helene Kröller-Müller acquired her immense collection through a gigantic buying spree, buying 28 van Goghs in a single year and 15 of those in just a month. On her way through Paris, she also snapped up works by Picasso, Braque, Cezanne, Mondrian and others, creating a sensational modern art collection.
What a terrible shame, you might say, that such an internationally important collection is hidden away in rural Holland and not open to the visiting public. Well, hidden away is right, but inaccessible it is not, as the Kröller-Müllers gave their collection to the Dutch state and along with it the sand dunes and the woodland, giving rise to what is now known as De Hoge Veluwe National Park.
Visitors are provided with free bikes so they can explore the amazing environment; the park has a strikingly different landscape to the rest of the Netherlands, resembling something of a cross between a grouse moor and an inland desert.
At the heart of the national park sits the museum itself. Helene Kröller-Müller spent years rejecting architects' designs for the museum building. None were deemed satisfactory and in the end a temporary single-storey pavilion was put up in 1935 and remains there today. Although not the most glamorous building, its low-key glass and steel frame configuration allows the surrounding landscape to become part of the structure and moreover, it puts the emphasis on the art rather than the building, which is somewhat fitting.
Unlike the Kröller-Müllers, the Dutch government isn't rolling in money so there's little prospect of adding to the number of van Goghs. But museum bosses haven't been idle, instead using 62 acres of the park as a massive sculpture garden since the sixties. There are more than 150 works including pieces by Rodin, Moore, Hepworth, Dubuffet, Epstein and LeWitt. Many are walk-through pieces and beloved by children – on a sunny day there's no happier place.
Best of all, as crowds hustle and jockey for position in the cramped confines of the Van Gogh Museum, the Kröller-Müller is comparatively empty, creating the perfect environment to sit and appreciate the genius of the artist, and for that matter the genius of Helene Kröller-Müller, who understood that the purpose of getting rich was to spend, and spend wisely.

You are invited to a Genovian Royal Wedding in this second book pulled FROM THE NOTEBOOKS OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCESS, a Princess Diaries spin-off series, written and illustrated by New York Times-bestselling author Meg Cabot.
Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison still finds it hard to believe that she's a real live PRINCESS OF GENOVIA. Not only does she get to live in an actual palace with her newly discovered family and two fabulous poodles (who all love her and think that she's anything but ordinary!) but she also gets her very own PONY!
Of course, things aren't going exactly like she imagined. Her half-sister Mia is very busy learning how to take over the country while trying to plan a wedding and her father is actually getting remarried himself-to Mia's mother!-and spends most of his time "renovating" the summer palace, although Grandmere says he is just hiding from the wedding preparations. Olivia hardly gets to see either of them.
Fortunately, Grandmere has her own plans for Mia's wedding, and needs Olivia's help to pull them off. Just when Olivia starts to think that things are going to work out after all, the palace is invaded by a host of new cousins and other royals who all seem to be angry at Olivia (although Grandmere says they are just jealous).
As the day of the wedding gets closer and closer, Olivia becomes more and more worried. For such a carefully planned event, it seems like a LOT of things are going wrong... Can Olivia keep this royal wedding from becoming a royal disaster?

GSD: Test 123, is this working?13 Sep 2016
A previous version of this article heavily focussed on Cucumber tests. You can still read where I got up to, if you look at commit df8cad in my website repository. I won't delete the branch either, so you can still reference that.
Well, it's sure been a while since we last look at our DataPoint example isn't it? Would you look at that—Spring Boot has updated to 1.4.0. Let's go ahead and update our own project and watch the Travis Build pass!
In this article, we're going to do some automated testing of our application. For now, we'll just test configuration and our basic endpoints that we created last time.
We're going to do the following:
- Create a configuration class to hold our DataPoint API key
- Create an automated test to ensure this configuration is picked up appropriately.
Creating (and using) a Configuration class
We're likely to have differing configurations for our application, depending on where the application is running. We should, most of the time, avoid hardcoding our configuration and instead use differing configuration files to drive our application. We can do this with Spring Boot using
*.yml/YAML files, as we did before with
application.yml to set the HTTP and management ports of our application. Spring calls this Externalized Configuration.
Let's create a file called "application-dev.yml" in the root of our project, with the following config:
key: _Your API Key here_
Note, this file won't exist in the repository as it'll contain my API Key obviously. Be careful when committing sensitive information; such as this API Key
Now, change your Run Configuration to include the parameters
--spring.profiles.active=dev, and run your app. You see no difference? Good
That's probably beacuse you haven't created the configuration class, so create a new class called
DataPointConfiguration in a "configuration" package in your project. Pop in the "key" field with some getters and setters. You might be thinking "is Spring really that smart as to figure out the 'DataPoint' from the class name translates to the object in the YAML file?". You'd be forgiven for thinking that, with how clever Spring actually is, but alas you'd be wrong. You need to add two annotations to the class;
ConfigurationProperties with a value of "datapoint", and your regular Spring
Configuration . To save you looking at the docs (which I encourage you to do anyway),
ConfigurationProperties looks at the available properties in the application and binds those that start with the given annotation value to this class. So, "datapoint.key" in our YAML file translates to the key field in our class. Fantastic, right? Right.
Create an automated test to make sure the configuration is populated correctly
Add a new dependency to your pom, with a group id of "org.springframework.boot" and an artifact id of "spring-boot-starter-test", with a scope of "test"—no point including any of this in our deployable. This artifact brings in a number of test frameworks such as JUnit, Hamcrest, Mockito, JSONAssert, and so much more. We'll use JUnit for our tests and Hamcrest for human-like assertions.
Now create a test class corresponding to the DataPointConfiguration class you just created. Add an autowired field for your DataPointConfiguration, and a test method that checks if
DataPointConfiguration#getKey is not null.
Something similar to this:
private DataPointConfiguration dataPointConfiguration;
public void dataPointConfigurationHasKey() throws Exception {
assertThat("DataPoint key is null", dataPointConfiguration.getKey(), is(notNullValue()));
If you were to run such a test, it would fail. JUnit, by default, has no idea of Spring and executes this test class in the default way. To fix this, we add 3 annotations and a config file. That sounds a bit much doesn't it? I mean, we're only testing this unit—the configuration unit—what else is there? Those 3 annotations get Spring involved, and set us up for a whole world of flexibility. We need to add:
RunWith(SpringRunner.class) (
RunWith(SpringJUnit4Runner.class) if you're not using Spring Boot 1.4.0),
SpringBootTest, and
- The first annotation tells JUnit to use the Spring Runner for tests. This provides our Spring contexts with dependency injection and all that goodness.
- The second annotation tells Spring this is a test and to invoke our standard application context. We can optionally specify a Configuration class if we want to have more control over how the application interacts with this unit. We'll come on to this in the next article especially
- The third annotation instructs us on which Spring Profile to use. You may have noticed this is option 10/11 in the Externalized Configuration documentation. We set this to "unittest".
Your class will look similar to this:
package com.jakehendy.demo.datapoint_example.configuration;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.test.context.ActiveProfiles;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;
import static org.hamcrest.core.Is.is;
import static org.hamcrest.core.IsNull.notNullValue;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;
* Created by me on 13/09/2016.
@ActiveProfiles(profiles = {"unittest"})
public class DataPointConfigurationTest {
private DataPointConfiguration dataPointConfiguration;
public void dataPointConfigurationHasKey() throws Exception {
assertThat("DataPoint key is null", dataPointConfiguration.getKey(), is(notNullValue()));
Those are the annotations we need yet the test still doesn't pass, as the field isn't populated. Notice we created an application-dev.yml file earlier? Now we're going to create an application-unittest.yml file. Spring will load all the property files (
*.properties or
*.yml) for application.yml, and all the active profiles.
If you have a property declared in multiple profile property files, the one loaded last will take priority.
Code up to this point is available at commit fb8610db6258d84871e76b3953eb790f16694802.
Go ahead and create a file in your "src/test/resources" directory called "application-unittest.yml" with a similar structure to our
datapoint-dev.yml file—this time fill the key with some random text.
Now run that test, and watch it pass. That's your first, fully integrated, Spring-based unit test. That only interacted with code inside the app, there were no web requests involved.
Of course, you could do something similar with your controllers. Injecting the controller classes is a possibility, but there's a better way…
Testing our controllers
This is integration testing. So create a new package called "integration" under your base package; for me this is "com.jakehendy.demo.datapoint_example.integration".
Add on those 3 annotations we had before, but this time add another Spring Profile of "integrationtest".
We're also going to slightly tweak the
SpringBootTest annotation, by adding the property of
webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT.
Yes, we're going to spin up that server for our integration tests on a random port. There's no reason why we can't, as Spring will pick an unused port that it can bind to automatically. This means that our integration tests can be performed at any the time, in parallel, on your dev machine or your build server.
How do we get that port? Add a "port" field to your class, of type int, and annotate it with
@LocalServerPort is shorthand for
@Value("${local.server.port"}), and it reads nicer. This field will contain the port for your app, decided at runtime.
Now let's add a simple method that will test the
HelloWorldController. The URL "http://localhost:[ThatRandomPort]/hello-world" should now return the contents of the view "index.ftl". Let's find out.
I'm a big fan of OkHttpClient for HTTP requests, and we're going to use that in the next few articles when we fetch objects from DataPoint, so add that in to your pom. GroupId of "com.squareup.okhttp3", artifactId of "okhttp", and a version of "3.4.1".
We create a new URL for the request. OkHttp's
HttpUrl has a fluid builder, so this is how I constructed mine:
HttpUrl helloWorldUrl = HttpUrl.parse("http://localhost/hello-world").newBuilder().port(port).build();
We need a request object, so let's create one of them with:
Request helloWorldRequest = new Request.Builder().url(helloWorldUrl).get().build();
And now we need to issue that request. Let's add a constant OkHttpClient for this class, as we won't be doing anything special for now:
private static final OkHttpClient CLIENT = new OkHttpClient();
Client's set, let's issue the request:
Response helloWorldResponse = CLIENT.newCall(helloWorldRequest).execute();
The call is now executed synchronously!
(Client#newCall(Request))#execute) can throw an IOException, which is handled by JUnit for me as I generate tests using IntelliJ's add test method stub feature. Just keep that in mind, and always read the JavaDocs :)
We can immediately start asserting on that response object, as it has a method
code which returns the status code of the HTTP request.
assertThat("Hello World did not return a HTTP2xx", helloWorldResponse.code() / 100, is(2));
Go on, run it! See that, your test passed! What we have, up until now, is available at commit 49233db9d360d8b601753c2814d69c7d4f08b39b. However all we've proved is the reponse returned and it was, alright. Let's test the response body to see if it's what we expect. Create a test fixture (output we're expecting) in your "src/test/resources" directory. I've put mine at "src/test/resources/fixtures/integration/HelloWorld/expectedindex.html". I've then simply copied and pasted the content of the "index.ftl" view we created before…
Let's bring Guava in to the mix, as we'll be using that shortly as well! In the pom, dependency, groupId of "com.google.guava", artifactId of "guava", version of "19.0". Done.
Guava has a Resources class, which funnily enough handles loading resources in your application. We'll use the
Resources#getResource(String) and
Resources#toString(URL, Charset) methods to load in our fixture. I've put the fixture path in a constant field, so to load the fixture for me it looks like:
String expectedOutput = Resources.toString(Resources.getResource(FIXTURE_EXPECTED_INDEX), Charsets.UTF_8);
You're using UTF-8 right? Right? If not (and you have a valid reason), do feel free to change the Charset to that which your fixture is encoded in. You can do this with the
Charset#forName(String) method.
Now all we have to do is compare the body and the expected output, which OkHttp makes almost stupidly easy:
assertThat("Hello World output does not match fixture", helloWorldResponse.body().string(), is(expectedOutput));
That, my friends, is it. Available at commit 1816a669dcb585ba3bbca4df711f4d7ff474450b.
And no, it's not going to be 7 months until my next article. In fact, it's already being written along side this one… Have a look at the GitHub repo


text: So, in about 6 months, the next major iteration of the iPhone OS (probably 4.0) will be revealed (I'm guessing around March; they usually beta test the x.0 releases pretty extensively). What is the point for this?I have an email address to Steve Jobs that he has replied to me before (on the subject of Bluetooth in the iPod touch 1G, remember that?). I'll send this to him when the ideas start to repeat. To get me to add them to the list faster, PM me or give a visitor message. That is the fastest way. Otherwise, post them here. After all, this is a wishlist, however try to keep it to likely things. ___________________________________________ I'll start: Speed: This is something that could be achieved by some simple UI adjustments, for example instituting an SBSetting-like application, for turning WiFi on/off quicker. App Categories: Why can't Apple understand that an iPod with 30 apps is a jumbled mess? The home screen needs better mangement of icons. (iPod touch 3G/ 2G maybe) FM radio: The hardware is there; we want radio. (iPod touch 3G) Wireless N support: The hardware is there, let's get the software supported. (iPod touch 2G/ 3G, as well as iPhone models) Upgraded Bluetooth support: Why is it locked down, Apple? Other ideas, submitted by users. Landscape springboard: Ability to use the Springboard in landscape mode. Wireless Syncing: Wirelessly sync your iTunes library/ information. Improved bluetooth compatibility: Connect to Bluetooth devices (phones, etc...) Improved Voice Control: Ability to launch apps using Voice Control. Spotlight Toggle: Toggle to turn Spotlight search on/off. Efficient Code: Improve speed and overall stability. New Default Apps: Rework the Stocks, Maps, Weather, etc. apps, making them more refined and useful. More info on pg. 6. Syncing with computer via Bluetooth: Sync your iTunes via Bluetooth. Got more? Post them, and I'll add them here. See people? Pretty simple. Be realistic. And keep on subject. Please. And 'No,' I'm not the new Cam. I'm just interested in others opinions on this one, since there aren't many glaring omissions in the firmware this time.

The proposed sale of 56 campuses of the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain to ECMC, a student loan guarantor, has been postponed until next month, Corinthian said in a corporate filing. The deal, which the U.S. Department of Education brokered, had been scheduled to close in January. It was pushed back earlier this month, and now moved to February.
Corinthian said the closing of most of the campuses included in the purchase agreement is now scheduled for February 2. A second closing for the remaining campuses will follow.
"Although the company and the purchaser have made substantial progress towards the satisfaction of conditions to closing," Corinthian said, "and expect to satisfy the remainder soon, not all of such conditions were satisfied in time to conduct an initial closing."
The deal has been controversial. Some consumer groups have opposed the sale to ECMC, calling the nonprofit agency a "troubled entity" and saying the arrangement will be bad for students. The department, however, has defended the sale, saying it averts "disruption and displacement" of 40,000 students and strengthens their "education prospects."
ECMC on Wednesday issued a written statement about the delay.
"While we continue to make good progress, the enormity of the transaction and the regulatory approvals needed prior to close have extended our target closing date to early in February," the guaranty agency said. "We are pleased with all we've been able to accomplish over the last several weeks, especially given the holiday timing, and are continuing to move full steam ahead with our plans to make a difference as a nonprofit provider of career school education driven to promote the long-term success of our graduates."
(Note: This article has been changed from an earlier version to include new information from ECMC and a Corinthian corporate filing.)
Western Governors University steers rejected applicants to StraighterLine, an online course provider that acts as a low-risk way for students to prepare to earn a degree.
Kaplan Higher Education, a for-profit chain, on Monday agreed to a $1.3 million settlement with the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas. The civil settlement resolves whistleblower allegations that Kaplan employed unqualified instructors at its campuses in Texas, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a written statement. The agreement did not include a finding of wrongdoing by the company. The for-profit settled to avoid the "expense of protracted litigation," a Kaplan official said in a written statement.
Herzing University, a midsized chain of for-profit colleges, has converted to a nonprofit institution, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Herzing has 6,000 students in campuses in eight states. Herzing is among the institutions that said new federal regulations on "gainful employment" would make it hard to operate.
Career Education Corp. on Thursday said it plans to sell Le Cordon Bleu, a chain of 16 culinary campuses. The company, which is one of the largest publicly traded for-profits, said in a written statement that the planned sale would allow it to "reallocate funds across our portfolio." Le Cordon Bleu is one of Career Education's better-known brands. With a current enrollment of 10,100 students, the culinary schools brought in $178 million in total revenue last year.
A coalition of 46 student, consumer, veterans and civil rights groups on Wednesday wrote to the Obama Administration and U.S. Department of Education to oppose the proposed sale of 56 Corinthian Colleges' campuses to ECMC, a nonprofit student loan guarantee agency.
"The terms of the proposed sale to ECMC would not give students the choice of completing or a fresh start, while leaving the campuses in the hands of a troubled entity with no educational experience," the groups wrote. They called on the department to exercise more flexibility in allowing Corinthian students to seek loan discharges. The letter also suggests stricter terms for an ECMC deal, such as requiring that the campuses meet "gainful employment" regulations for seven years.
The sale, which department officials back, is expected to close in January.
A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday sided with a lower court's decision to dismiss a class-action lawsuit the State of Oregon had filed against the Apollo Education Group. The suit alleged that Apollo, which owns the University of Phoenix, had made misleading statements about its enrollment and revenue growth. As a result the state's pension fund lost $10 million, according to the lawsuit. But the courts -- including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which ruled Tuesday -- have rejected those claims, finding that Apollo's statements were lawful "business puffing."
The Salter Schools, a for-profit chain in Massachusetts, has settled with the state's attorney general, Martha Coakley, over allegations of misrepresented job-placement rates and deceptive student recruitment, according to a news release from Coakley's office. Salter agreed to pay $3.75 million, the bulk of which will be used to help roughly 600 of the schools' former students pay down loans. The company told The Boston Globe that it disputes the allegations, but did not elaborate to the newspaper.
Coakley is conducting a broad investigation of the for-profit industry. She has filed several lawsuits as part of the probe, including one against Corinthian Colleges. The Salter settlement is the second and largest of the settlements her office has secured so far.
College enrollment has declined by more than 1 percent for three consecutive years, according to newly released data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The drop of 1.3 percent is slower than that of the previous two years, according to the report, but still reflects a loss of almost 265,000 students. Most of the decline is among adult students, many of whom have joined the workforce as the economy rebounds.
A group of 13 Senate Democrats want the U.S. Department of Education to discharge federal student loans for some current and former students of Corinthian Colleges. In a letter to Arne Duncan, the Senators urged immediate discharges for any borrowers who are covered by lawsuits filed by federal and state agencies against the troubled for-profit chain, which is being dismantled.
The group, which includes Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the department has the legal authority to forgive loans when students have legal claims against their colleges. They said lawsuits in California and Massachusetts directly relate to lending to Corinthian students, as well as to the education they received.
Kent Jenkins, a spokesman for Corinthian, said it would be unjust for the federal government to act on unproven allegations that are being contested in court. "Their letter argues that court is an unnecessary formality," he said in a written statement, "and its disregard for basic fairness and due process is deeply troubling."

With the Nov. 4-5 Breeders' Cup right around the corner, Churchill Downs is trying to preserve its seven-furlong turf course as best it can. After months of keeping horses off the course, workouts began Monday morning over a turf rated good by the clockers, and as horses breezed, squishing noises and divots could be plainly heard and seen.
Good thing the orange traffic cones, or dogs, were stationed about 30 feet out, keeping the more precious inner portion of the course emerald green and pristine. Following several days of rain last week, nine turf works were posted Monday, including four by Breeders' Cup hopefuls, led by Courageous Cat and Court Vision, two of the likely challengers to Goldikova and Gio Ponti in the $2 million BC Mile.
Courageous Cat, with retired jockey Larry Melancon riding, started about three lengths behind his Bill Mott-trained stablemate Clear Attempt before nearly pulling even at the wire, getting five furlongs in 1:02.60.
Court Vision, with Robby Albarado aboard, went solo for trainer Dale Romans, getting five furlongs in 1:02.80.
Also, Country Day (Turf Sprint) went five furlongs solo in a relatively swift 1:01.20 with jockey Jimmy Graham up, and Animal Spirits (Juvenile Turf) went a half-mile in 52.60 seconds with exercise rider Scotty LeLeux aboard for trainer Al Stall Jr.
"I was kind of surprised how wet the course was," Stall said. "It was really squishy. Every horse I saw coming down there, they were kicking up these big clods. Our horse skipped over it pretty well, I thought, so we're pleased."
Steve Margolis, trainer of Country Day, said he and Graham were "very happy" with the drill by Country Day.
"Jimmy said it was pretty soft, but that the horse handled it real well," Margolis said.
Asmussen's BC hopefuls work
Early Monday, Steve Asmussen was happy not only with the workouts posted by five of his BC hopefuls at Churchill, but also with the results of Game 4 of the World Series, which the Texas Rangers won 4-0 Sunday night to pull into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.
"My wife [Julie] has already sent me two texts this morning saying, 'I love the Rangers,' " Asmussen said. "We live less than a couple miles from the stadium in Arlington. We're huge fans. Huge."
When he wasn't thinking baseball, Asmussen was sending out the following for what figure to be their second-to-last breezes before the Breeders' Cup, all of them coming at five furlongs: My Miss Aurelia (Juvenile Fillies), 1:01.20; Seeker (Juvenile Sprint), 1:00.20 in company; Wilburn (Dirt Mile), 1:00.80; Sabre Cat (Juvenile), 1:01.20 in company; and Tapizar (Dirt Mile), 1:00.40.
Other Monday works from BC candidates over a fast main track came from Prospective Start (Juvenile Turf), five furlongs in 1:02; Optimizer (Juvenile or Juvenile Turf), five furlongs 1:01; Hamazing Destiny (Sprint), half-mile in 46.20; Northern Passion (Juvenile Fillies or Juvenile Fillies Turf), five furlongs in 1:02; and Switch, (Filly and Mare Sprint), five furlongs in 1:01.20.
Meanwhile, as of Monday morning, about 900 to 1,000 stalls were filled in the Churchill stable area, which holds about 1,400 horses, according to stall superintendent Mike Hargrave.
"We're going to have a lot of arrivals this coming weekend," Hargrave said. "I think we've got about 10 charter flights coming to town between Friday and Monday."
Among the notable arrivals here Monday was Uncle Mo, who came through the stable gate shortly before 10 a.m. Eastern following a flight from New York.
