When you're ready to lose weight, it's normal to be so excited that you set lofty goals and try to crunch them into the smallest time frame possible. Unfortunately, if you try to lose too much too soon, you're doomed for failure.
The right way to go about weight loss is to set realistic expectations. Craft a plan around those expectations, get support to help you follow it, and you've got the perfect set-up for success.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that your chance of success is highest if you aim for a weekly loss of one to two pounds. That means four to eight pounds by the end of one month. Since 3,500 calories are equal to one pound, your plan should cut your calories by 500 to 1,000 per day to reach your goal. Do this through a custom combination of cutting back on high-calorie/high-fat foods and working regular exercise into your schedule.
Four to eight pounds might not sound like much, but think about how it adds up. If you're able to follow your plan for three months, you'll be 12 to 24 pounds slimmer. Keep it up for six months and your loss will skyrocket to 24 to 48 pounds. At the upper range, that means you've shed almost the equivalent of five bowling balls!
Every good plan starts with a goal that allows you to work your way backward. Use the CDC guidelines to set a realistic weight loss goal, with checkpoints at the one, three, and six month marks. Calculate the number of calories you need to burn off or eliminate from your diet each week and decide how you'll accomplish it. Since the best weight loss plan is to move more and eat less, choose a combination of healthy eating and exercises that works for you.
These are all important components of a sound weight loss plan, and building a strong support system will help you follow them effectively.
You don't have to pay for weight loss support; instead, join a free online community like MyFitnessPal or SparkPeople. They offer valuable tools like calorie and exercise tracking, recipes and healthy living tips, but they also bring you together with other like-minded people. Their communities are made up of beginners and people who have lost weight effectively and are willing to mentor the newcomers. Use this support system to help you follow your plan, hold yourself accountable, and to get yourself on track quickly if you should give in to that pint of ice cream calling your name in the freezer.
Speaking of those slip-ups, build the "human factor" into your expectations. Calorie burning formulas are objective. They don't factor in the possibility of having a few bad days during the month or seasonal temptations like Halloween candy at work, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas cookies, and Valentine's Day chocolates. Give yourself a margin of error; that way, if you don't follow your plan perfectly every single day, you can still meet your goal. If you manage to follow it to the letter, you'll be proud of yourself for the bonus weight loss.

No team but who cares? World Cup fever hits Haiti
by The Haitian Times Jun. 13, 2014 Apr. 01, 2021
With just days to go before the World Cup kicks off in Brazil, Haiti has already caught a serious case of football fever.
No matter that the impoverished Caribbean nation has only once participated in the competition — and 40 years ago at that. Flags from competing countries are a common sight in the capital Port-au-Prince, flapping from the tops of cars as vendors peddle them in all shapes and sizes on street corners.
At first glance, Brazil seems the big favorite here but young and old alike are also backing Argentina, Germany and Italy during the June 12 to July 13 sports bonanza.
Some see the football frenzy as a way of forgetting the poverty, day-to-day struggles and political strife in this country still reeling from a devastating 2010 earthquake that killed 250,000 people.
More than four years on, many still live in squalid makeshift camps and bitter disagreements between politicians have threatened the already painfully slow reconstruction. Thousands took to Port-au-Prince's streets this week to demand the resignation of President Michel Martelly and new elections.Last month, Martelly's three years in power were marked by clashes between protesters and police.
"Football, it's like carnival for Haitians. It does the population some good," said Frantz Exil, hosts of a sports show on local radio and TV."Football will serve as a political truce, it will bring about a state of tranquility in the country."
Others, such as university professor Denis Regis, wistfully recall the euphoria that erupted when Haiti scored against Italy at the 1974 World in Germany, beating star goalkeeper Dino Zoff.
"For decades, Haitians have searched for reasons to be proud. People are now looking abroad for what they can't find at home," he said. "They identify with the winners."
And that's a little tough to do at home these days since Haiti holds only 73rd place in FIFA's world rankings.
All across the sprawling city, walls have been daubed in the colors of qualified teams, while the faces of football greats such as Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo adorn the "tap tap" shared taxis.Meanwhile, flag sellers — some even wrapped in their wares — say business isn't bad and a welcome way to stay afloat.
"We're not making a lot of money but we're saving our day by selling a few flags, mostly from Brazil," said one. In Port-au-Prince's slums, as in more upscale parts of town, mostly young fans have already staked out spots to watch the month-long list of matches.
And, in a country that boasts several hundred radio and television stations, including 30 in the capital alone, they shouldn't have a problem tuning in. Most have announced that they will fully cover the Cup by re-transmitting — while for the most part not paying distribution fees — games shown on foreign channels or via satellite.
That's if the country's electricity crisis doesn't manifest itself at the most inopportune of times. Fans are keeping their fingers crossed.

No team but who cares? World Cup fever hits Haiti

With just days to go before the World Cup kicks off in Brazil, Haiti has already caught a serious case of football fever.

No matter that the impoverished Caribbean nation has only once participated in the competition — and 40 years ago at that. Flags from competing countries are a common sight in the capital Port-au-Prince, flapping from the tops of cars as vendors peddle them in all shapes and sizes on street corners.

At first glance, Brazil seems the big favorite here but young and old alike are also backing Argentina, Germany and Italy during the June 12 to July 13 sports bonanza.

Some see the football frenzy as a way of forgetting the poverty, day-to-day struggles and political strife in this country still reeling from a devastating 2010 earthquake that killed 250,000 people.

More than four years on, many still live in squalid makeshift camps and bitter disagreements between politicians have threatened the already painfully slow reconstruction. Thousands took to Port-au-Prince's streets this week to demand the resignation of President Michel Martelly and new elections.Last month, Martelly's three years in power were marked by clashes between protesters and police.

<TITLE>Review for Career Girls (1997)</TITLE>
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="/ramr.css">

Career Girls (1997)

reviewed by
James Sanford

     Director Mike Leigh's "Career Girls," the follow-up to his
American breakthrough "Secrets & Lies," is a perfect example of his
improvisational style. His method of filmmaking is to give his actors
an idea for a scene --- a starting point --- and to let them run with
it. As a result, Leigh's movies tend to be full of spontaneity and
color and low on narrative drive.

In "Career Girls," you'd be hard-pressed to find a traditional
plot. It's an aimless but amiable little portrait of two Englishwomen
who lived together for four years during the Eighties and are reunited
for a weekend ten years after their split-up. Back in University days,
Hannah (Katrin Cartlidge) and Annie (Lynda Steadman) had little in
common, aside from a shared love for the music of The Cure and a
fondness for using a copy of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" as a
sort of oracle for fortelling their futures. The rundown little flat
they shared overtop a Chinese takeaway is far removed from the upscale
condos and luxury apartments Hannah is now shopping for.

In the initial flashbacks to the women's younger days, it looks
as if Leigh may have let Steadman and Cartlidge run a bit too
wild. Plagued by a serious case of facial determititus, Annie is a
twitching bundle of loose nerves, while Hannah (she insists that it be
pronounced "Hah-NAH" initially) is strident and
self-dramatizing. Neither seems like a real person so much as an
actor's exaggerated concept of a character type, and these early
scenes play like sketches lifted from "The Tracey Ullman Show."

But as Cartlidge and Steadman find the right levels, "Career
Girls" develops into an insightful meditation on the nature of
friendship, as well as a peek into the psyches of two people who think
they've dealt with the past but have actually only pushed it
aside. Both women have plenty of unresolved issues that seem to keep
getting in the way of their finding true happiness and peace of mind,
and each is a bit envious of the other. The bird-voiced and retiring
Annie admires Hannah's forthrightness and drive; Hannah, who's almost
always hiding behind some sort of a front, confesses, "I'm not strong
enough to be as vulnerable as you."

The poignancy of moments like that offset the occasional
contrivances that develop late in the film: There are at least two too
many run-ins with faces from the past, and an encounter with a former
flatmate who's now a jabbering derelict goes on long after it makes
its point. Leigh is most successful when he simply let Steadman and
Cartlidge work their quiet magic together, without distractions.

To address the on-going physician shortage in Medicine in general, radiology specifically, and my chosen subspecialty of pediatric radiology especially, I need insight about the young adults, medical students and residents whom we are trying to recruit.
These medical students and residents are late Generation Y/Millennials (born 1981-1994), and early Generation Z (born 1995-2012). This technologically savvy generation grew up with computers, and despite being able to instantaneously "connect" via social media, they still seek out and value being with friends and experiences. They also value social equality, want to make a positive impact in a supportive workplace and desire a stable future.
In an article discussing the factors influencing subspecialty choice among residents, Arnold, et al , questioned radiology trainees about their motivations and perceptions of the subspecialty fields when selecting radiology fellowships. Leading factors for the residents were areas of strong personal interest, advanced multi-modality imaging, intellectual challenge, marketability and enjoyable resident rotations. Financial compensation was relatively unimportant.
I completed a pediatric internship and residency before going into radiology. The aspects of pediatric medicine which appeal to me are working with kids, interacting with families, making a positive impact on pediatric care, and the challenges of a multitude of diseases. Pediatric radiology today still has a wonderful blend of patient and family interaction; general to subspecialized clinician interaction; advanced imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, CT, and Nuclear Medicine; and cutting edge hardware and software technologies such as elastography, musculoskeletal ultrasound and interventions, the latest MRI techniques, dual-energy Spectral CT, 3-D modelling and volumetrics, molecular imaging and PET/SPECT/CT. My daily work involves supportive colleagues, an incredible breadth and depth of technology and a large number of disease processes to consider. Pediatric radiology affords me the ability to be a subspecialist and a generalist at the same time, and it is never boring.
Many residents select their subspecialties prior to their 3rd and 4th years, and rotating residents at children's hospitals typically are in the later stages of training, leaving us at a disadvantage in recruiting bright residents into pediatric radiology fellowships. How to address this problem?
There is need to engage medical students and residents through earlier elective rotations, radiology lectures in medical school or clubs, developing active department research opportunities for medical students and residents and social media such as daily cases on Instagram. One could attract pediatric residents who already show a strong interest in pediatric care into radiology by showing them a welcoming patient-friendly work environment that maintains personal interactions, and our role as an active care team member positively impacting children's health. The radiology profession is technologically advanced and intellectually challenging, and the multiple imaging modalities are becoming more advanced.
Given the shortage of, and great need for, pediatric fellowship trained radiologists in both private practice and academic settings, these skills remain highly marketable. Compensation and benefits, and flexible work environments, remain good for radiologists. The role we imagers play in the diagnosis and delivery of health care is both meaningful and rewarding. In my opinion, radiology is the perfect job for today's medical students and residents to consider.
How are you engaging medical students to pursue a career in pediatric radiology, or another subspecialty?
Have you been leveraging the new resource, RadInfo 4 Kids, in your practice?


Researchers at Cisco's Talos intelligence unit have now expressed high confidence that the Russian government is behind VPNFilter, a malware strain designed to usurp control of small office and home routers and network access control devices.
If you doubt VPNFilter's capacity to fuel cyber chaos on a global scale, please peruse the FBI's recently issued alert about this very nasty piece of leading-edge malware.
VPNFilter is precisely the kind of cyber weaponry nation state-backed military and intelligence operatives routinely deploy to knock down critical infrastructure, interfere with elections and spy on each other.
One of the top analysts on the daily use of malware across the planet is Dr. Kenneth Geers, senior research scientist, at Comodo Cybersecurity. His main duties at Comodo revolve around monitoring and analyzing malware spikes as they unfold on a daily basis, and correlating cyber attacks to global news and political events.
Geers and I met at RSA Conference 2018 and he walked me through the cyber attack trends and patterns he's currently monitoring. Bottom line: cyber espionage is on the cusp of a golden age; and the only way to deter this is for the private sector to do a much better job of defending home and business networks.
Why so? Because vulnerable networks supply the communications channels and processing power made so easily accessible to cyber criminals and combatants.
For a full drill down on my fascinating chat with Geers, please listen to the accompanying podcast. Here are excerpts edited for clarity and length.
LW: Can you characterize what you see on a daily basis?
Geers: I see data from every country on the planet every week, and it is really astonishing, from the standpoint of where malware clusters. I've been looking at computer data for a couple of years now and what I have seen, and what fascinates me, is that nation states and advanced cyber criminals are really ahead of the rest of us, when it comes to sensing vulnerabilities and attacking them. Every week and every day we're seeing malware cluster around elections, military tension, terrorism and big business events, as well.
LW: There certainly have been a lot of these types of events at play. Can you give us some color?
Geers: I'll give you one example. There was a bombing of a discotheque in Istanbul, more than a year ago on New Year's Eve; it killed about 40 people. The following day there was the biggest jump in malware in over a six-month timeframe within Turkey.
When you have a terrorist incident, or even an important election, a couple of dozen foreign intelligence agencies begin leveraging malware to learn about it. So when the bomb went off in Istanbul, we had this massive malware spike the next day. What we saw were intelligence services all writing intelligence reports and wanting to know who did what to whom. They needed the information to fulfill a national security requirement. And they certainly weren't going to rely on CNN.
LW: So certain sources would naturally be targeted for intel gathering purposes?
Geers: Absolutely. All nations are using malware and cyber espionage for information gathering. It's the golden age of espionage because you don't have to send a James Bond across the border, flying a plane or on skis. The more dramatic and the more unexpected the national security event, the sharper the malware spike and the more dramatic or spontaneous that spike will be.
LW: Is it safe to assume the U.S. is participating fully as well?
Geers: That's right .This is not just the United States; the Vatican City probably also has a secret hacker team in the basement. They just have too much money, and too many assets to protect frankly. This is just the way espionage is done today. Cyberspace envelops the whole planet. And it's given us this a new medium to collect information.
Spies and soldiers are using the Internet for their operations, tied to national security requirements and therefore espionage, or for running operations that would facilitate some kind of a military maneuver.
LW: Wannacry made use of cyber weapons stolen from the NSA. Is that part of this?
Geers: That's an example of malware theft — and muddying the waters of attribution. Wannacry was a case of the Russians, very likely, using American cyber weapons against the Ukraine. It's all part of the fog of war . . . Basically, if you know where to look, you can find advanced malware every day at any enterprise. You can reverse engineer it, and you can repurpose it. You can replace the payload or replace the command control infrastructure. Youc can put that cyber weapon into another context, and leverage it for your own purposes.
LW: What is the implication for the business community?
Geers: The business community has to be aware that it is a part of the battlefield. In order to route attacks on steppingstones through the Internet, the threat actors have to use third party networks and third party servers. They've got to hide their tools and any exfiltrated data, and they've got to cleanse the data before they can bring it back into the intelligence service.
So actually there's this web of malware . . . if you plot it on a chart, depending on the level of granularity you want, it becomes just one blob. In other words, all nations are talking to all other nations, in terms of malware communications, so you can route it a different way every time.
LW: Are you saying that business resources are being highly leveraged?
Geers: That right. It's just like the crypto miners. So I'm a hacker and I hack your website, then part of your computing resources, are going to be used to mine crypto currency and make a profit for me.
LW: Crypto mining and crypto jacking are a microcosm of criminal cyber attacks and the spy game?
Geers: That's right. If I'm an American hacker and I want to hit an American bank, I can route my activity through Zimbabwe, Iran and China. And the chances that law enforcement can find me are very low because local law enforcement can't really interact with these other countries. I can take advantage of the diplomatic tensions, as well, that separate these countries. Cyberspace is great for achieving some level of anonymity.
LW: Do companies need to practice better cyber hygiene to make themselves less susceptible to being pulled into these big patterns that you're seeing?
Geers: Yeah, it's both strategy and tactics. On the network, at the server and with users at the endpoints we need best practices. You also have to watch the news and be aware . . . The private sector is definitely abused by advanced players in cyberspace and there's really no way around it.

Last year, I wrote about the Second Appellate District case of Ardon v. City of Los Angeles. In Ardon, the appellate court found that a public agency can waive statutory privileges that it otherwise would have if it produces privileged documents in response to a California Public Records Act (PRA) request, even if inadvertently. However, half a year later, the First Appellate District in Newark Unified School District v. Superior Court came to the opposite conclusion in holding that a public agency cannot inadvertently waive attorney-client and work product privileges. These contradictory holdings created what is known as a "split of authority." Today, the California Supreme Court resolved this issue in Ardon v. City of Los Angeles. The Court found that a public agency cannot waive the privileges if it inadvertently releases privileged documents in response to a PRA request.
In Ardon, the plaintiff in litigation against the City of Los Angeles sought records under the PRA from the city concerning the subject matter of its complaint. After receipt of the records, Ardon's counsel notified the city that it had obtained copies of some records that appeared to be privileged. The city responded by asserting that the documents had been inadvertently produced. The city demanded that Ardon return the documents to the city and agree not to rely upon the documents in any way. Ardon declined this request, asserting that the city had waived any privilege claim. Citing California Government Code section 6254.5, the court found that in producing the documents, even inadvertently, the city waived any privilege claim.
The California Supreme Court characterized this issue as "one of statewide importance." In reaching its decision, the Court reviewed the statutory language of California Government Code section 6254.5 and the other relevant statutes pertaining to the PRA. The Court concluded that the statutory language as a whole was ambiguous on this issue, and resolved the ambiguity by concluding that inadvertent disclosure does not waive the privileges. The Court stressed the importance of the statutory privileges and a party's reasonable reliance that an inadvertent disclosure would not waive the privileges. The Court further found that there was no reason to interpret California Government Code section 6254.5 differently from Evidence Code section 912 (which applies to discovery requests in litigated disputes) in this regard. Under Evidence Code section 912, an inadvertent disclosure of privileged documents does not waive the privilege.
After years of drought, the El Niño storms have been bringing much-needed rain and snow to California–albeit in quantities significantly less than we hoped for thus far. In addition to the anticipated snow packs, flowing rivers, and replenished reservoirs, the California landscape has been marked by the return of ephemeral vernal pools, which may appear as seemingly insignificant ponds or puddles.
However, under the Clean Water Rule ("CW Rule") which was promulgated mid-last year, and which defines which waters are "jurisdictional"—meaning, protected as "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act ("CWA")—the reach of federal jurisdiction may include those seemingly insignificant ponds or puddles.
If such a pond or puddle is deemed a "vernal pool" that is covered by the CWA, then the pond or puddle is subject to a myriad of CWA regulatory requirements, including the federal prohibition on discharges of pollutants except in compliance with the CWA (§ 301), the requirement to obtain a permit prior to discharge (§§ 402, 404), water quality standards (§ 303), oil spill liability and oil spill prevention and control measures (§ 311), certification of compliance with State water quality standards (§ 401), and enforcement (§ 309).
Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a proposed rule in the Federal Register which would add a vapor intrusion component to the Hazard Ranking System, the system EPA uses to evaluate sites for placement on the National Priorities List ("NPL"). We forecasted and discussed the publication of this proposed rule in a blog post earlier this month. Under the proposed rule, the Hazard Ranking System evaluation could directly consider "human exposure to hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants that enter regularly occupied structures through subsurface intrusion in assessing a site's relative risk, and thus, enable subsurface intrusion contamination to be evaluated for placement of sites on the NPL." Click here to see the proposed rule.
Comments may be submitted on the proposed rule through April 29, 2016.
A proposed rule that would add a vapor intrusion component to the Hazard Ranking System ("HRS"), the primary screening tool for the CERCLA National Priorities List ("NPL"), is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register this month. NPL listing is a prerequisite for designation as a federal Superfund site. Previously, the HRS did not take into direct consideration the vapor intrusion pathway, and NPL listing was based upon only the ground water migration, soil exposure, surface water migration, and air migration pathways. The proposed rule represents a renewed effort by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to expressly account for vapor intrusion in the NPL evaluation process, following a prior version of this rule proposed in 2010.
Proponents of the rule contend that vapor intrusion presents unique risks to human health that the HRS does not adequately account for, while industry opponents assert the new criteria would result in the identification of few, if any, new NPL sites and that the lengthy Superfund process is not the appropriate vehicle to address any sites that may involve more imminent threats to human health.
Upon publication in the Federal Register, there will be a sixty-day public comment period. For more information, please click here. Check back to the blog for future updates.
Last week, in Michigan v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court held that it was unreasonable for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to refuse to consider costs in connection with its finding that it was "appropriate and necessary" to regulate hazardous air pollutant ("HAP") emissions from power plants under the federal Clean Air Act ("CAA").
After EPA completed the required studies in 1998, it concluded that regulation of power plants was in fact "appropriate and necessary." EPA's "appropriate" finding was based on a conclusion that power plants emitted mercury and other HAPs which posed a risk to human health and the environment and that emission reduction controls were available. EPA's "necessary" finding was based on its conclusion that then-existing requirements did not eliminate risks. In conjunction with its conclusions, EPA determined that "costs should not be considered" in determining whether power plant HAPs should be regulated. A Regulatory Impact Analysis issued by EPA estimated that EPA's decision would cost power plants $9.6 billion per year, whereas quantifiable regulatory benefits would be worth $4 to 6 million per year.
As an update to a previous write-up on the deadline for compliance with the new California Industrial General Permit for Stormwater (General Permit), the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) has continued the deadline for registration and compliance from July 1, 2015 to August 14, 2015.
In a notice circulated on the original deadline for compliance, July 1, 2015, the State Water Board acknowledged that its web-based database for stormwater compliance (SMARTS) was experiencing technical issues which were limiting registration access.
As a result, the State Water Board extended the deadline for registration from July 1, 2015 to August 14, 2015. This extended deadline should enable those industrial facilities that were either unaware of the July 1, 2015 deadline or those struggling to meet that deadline to timely register.

Summary of Changes in version 4.4

JUnit is designed to efficiently capture developers' intentions about
their code, and quickly check their code matches those intentions.
Over the last year, we've been talking about what things developers
would like to say about their code that have been difficult in the
past, and how we can make them easier.

assertThat

Two years ago, Joe Walnes built a new assertion mechanism on top of what was
then JMock 1.  The method name was assertThat, and the syntax looked like this:

assertThat(x, is(3));
assertThat(x, is(not(4)));
assertThat(responseString, either(containsString("color")).or(containsString("colour")));
assertThat(myList, hasItem("3"));

More generally:

assertThat([value], [matcher statement]);

Advantages of this assertion syntax include:

More readable and typeable: this syntax allows you to think in terms of subject, verb, object
(assert "x is 3") rathern than assertEquals, which uses verb, object, subject (assert "equals 3 x")

Combinations: any matcher statement s can be negated (not(s)), combined (either(s).or(t)),
mapped to a collection (each(s)), or used in custom combinations (afterFiveSeconds(s))

Readable failure messages.  Compare

assertTrue(responseString.contains("color") || responseString.contains("colour"));
// ==> failure message:
// java.lang.AssertionError:

assertThat(responseString, anyOf(containsString("color"), containsString("colour")));
// ==> failure message:
// java.lang.AssertionError:
// Expected: (a string containing "color" or a string containing "colour")
//      got: "Please choose a font"

Custom Matchers.  By implementing the Matcher interface yourself, you can get all of the
above benefits for your own custom assertions.

For a more thorough description of these points, see Joe Walnes's
original post.:

We have decided to include this API directly in JUnit.
It's an extensible and readable syntax, and because it enables
new features, like assumptions and theories.

Some notes:

The old assert methods are never, ever, going away.

Developers may continue using the old assertEquals, assertTrue, and
so on.

The second parameter of an assertThat statement is a Matcher.
We include the Matchers we want as static imports, like this:

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;

or:

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;

Manually importing Matcher methods can be frustrating.  [Eclipse
3.3][] includes the ability to
define
"Favorite" classes to import static methods from, which makes it easier
(Search for "Favorites" in the Preferences dialog).
We expect that support for static imports will improve in all Java IDEs in the future.

To allow compatibility with a wide variety of possible matchers,
we have decided to include the classes from hamcrest-core,
from the Hamcrest project.  This is the first time that
third-party classes have been included in JUnit.

JUnit currently ships with a few matchers, defined in
org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers and org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatchers.

To use many, many more, consider downloading the full hamcrest package.

JUnit contains special support for comparing string and array
values, giving specific information on how they differ.  This is not
yet available using the assertThat syntax, but we hope to bring
the two assert methods into closer alignment in future releases.

assumeThat

Ideally, the developer writing a test has control of all of the forces that might cause a test to fail.
If this isn't immediately possible, making dependencies explicit can often improve a design.

For example, if a test fails when run in a different locale than the developer intended,
it can be fixed by explicitly passing a locale to the domain code.

However, sometimes this is not desirable or possible.

It's good to be able to run a test against the code as it is currently written,
implicit assumptions and all, or to write a test that exposes a known bug.
For these situations, JUnit now includes the ability to express "assumptions":

import static org.junit.Assume.*

@Test public void filenameIncludesUsername() {
   assumeThat(File.separatorChar, is('/'));
   assertThat(new User("optimus").configFileName(), is("configfiles/optimus.cfg"));
}

@Test public void correctBehaviorWhenFilenameIsNull() {
   assumeTrue(bugFixed("13356"));  // bugFixed is not included in JUnit
   assertThat(parse(null), is(new NullDocument()));
}

With this beta release, a failed assumption will lead to the test being marked as passing,
regardless of what the code below the assumption may assert.
In the future, this may change, and a failed assumption may lead to the test being ignored:
however, third-party runners do not currently allow this option.

We have included assumeTrue for convenience, but thanks to the
inclusion of Hamcrest, we do not need to create assumeEquals,
assumeSame, and other analogues to the assert* methods.  All of
those functionalities are subsumed in assumeThat, with the appropriate
matcher.

A failing assumption in a @Before or @BeforeClass method will have the same effect
as a failing assumption in each @Test method of the class.

Theories

More flexible and expressive assertions, combined with the ability to
state assumptions clearly, lead to a new kind of statement of intent,
which we call a "Theory".  A test captures the intended behavior in
one particular scenario.  A theory allows a developer to be
as precise as desired about the behavior of the code in possibly
infinite numbers of possible scenarios.  For example:

@RunWith(Theories.class)
public class UserTest {
  @DataPoint public static String GOOD_USERNAME = "optimus";
  @DataPoint public static String USERNAME_WITH_SLASH = "optimus/prime";

  @Theory public void filenameIncludesUsername(String username) {
    assumeThat(username, not(containsString("/")));
    assertThat(new User(username).configFileName(), containsString(username));
  }
}

This makes it clear that the user's filename should be included in the
config file name, only if it doesn't contain a slash.  Another test
or theory might define what happens when a username does contain a slash.

UserTest will attempt to run filenameIncludesUsername on
every compatible DataPoint defined in the class.  If any of the
assumptions fail, the data point is silently ignored.  If all of the
assumptions pass, but an assertion fails, the test fails.

The support for Theories has been absorbed from the Popper
project, and more complete documentation can be found
there.

Defining general statements in this way can jog the developer's memory
about other potential data points and tests, also allows automated
tools to search for new, unexpected data
points that expose bugs.

Other changes

This release contains other bug fixes and new features.  Among them:

Annotated descriptions

Runner UIs, Filters, and Sorters operate on Descriptions of test
methods and test classes.  These Descriptions now include the
annotations on the original Java source element, allowing for richer
display of test results, and easier development of annotation-based
filters.

Bug fix (1715326): assertEquals now compares all Numbers using their
native implementation of equals.  This assertion, which passed in
4.3, will now fail:

assertEquals(new Integer(1), new Long(1));

Non-integer Numbers (Floats, Doubles, BigDecimals, etc),
which were compared incorrectly in 4.3, are now fixed.

assertEquals(long, long) and assertEquals(double, double) have
been re-introduced to the Assert class, to take advantage of
Java's native widening conversions.  Therefore, this still passes:

assertEquals(1, 1L);

The default runner for JUnit 4 test classes has been refactored.
The old version was named TestClassRunner, and the new is named
JUnit4ClassRunner.  Likewise, OldTestClassRunner is now
JUnit3ClassRunner.  The new design allows variations in running
individual test classes to be expressed with fewer custom classes.
For a good example, see the source to
org.junit.experimental.theories.Theories.

The rules for determining which runner is applied by default to a
test class have been simplified:

If the class has a @RunWith annotation, the annotated runner
class is used.

If the class can be run with the JUnit 3 test runner (it
subclasses TestCase, or contains a public static Test suite()
method), JUnit38ClassRunner is used.

Otherwise, JUnit4ClassRunner is used.

This default guess can always be overridden by an explicit
@RunWith(JUnit4ClassRunner.class) or
@RunWith(JUnit38ClassRunner.class) annotation.

The old class names TestClassRunner and OldTestClassRunner
remain as deprecated.

Bug fix (1739095): Filters and Sorters work correctly on test
classes that contain a suite method like:

public static junit.framework.Test suite() {
  return new JUnit4TestAdapter(MyTest.class);
}

Bug fix (1745048): @After methods are now correctly called
after a test method times out.

Summary of Changes in version 4.3.1

Bug fix: 4.3 introduced a
bug
that caused a NullPointerException
when comparing a null reference to a non-null reference in <tt>assertEquals</tt>.
This has been fixed.

Bug fix: The binary jar for 4.3 accidentally included the tests and sample code,
which are now removed for a smaller download, but, as always, available from the
full zip.

Summary of Changes with version 4.3

Changes in array equality.  Using <tt>assertEquals</tt> to compare array contents is now deprecated.
In the future, <tt>assertEquals</tt> will revert to its pre-4.0 meaning of comparing objects based on
Java's <tt>Object.equals</tt> semantics.  To compare array contents, use the new, more reliable
<tt>Assert.assertArrayEquals</tt> methods.

The <tt>@Ignore</tt> annotation can now be applied to classes, to ignore the entire class, instead of
individual methods.

Originally, developers who wanted to use a static <tt>suite()</tt> method from JUnit 3.x with a JUnit 4.x
runner had to annotate the class with <tt>@RunWith(AllTests.class)</tt>.  In the common case, this requirement
has been removed.  However, when such a class is wrapped with a JUnit4TestAdapter (which we believe is rare), the
results may not be as expected.

Improved error messages for array comparison("arrays first differed at element [1][0]")

Bug fix: Inaccessible base class is caught at test construction time.

Bug fix: Circular suites are caught at test construction time.

Bug fix: Test constructors that throw exceptions are reported correctly.

For committers and extenders

Sources now are in a separate "src" directory (this means a big break in the CVS history)

Improved documentation in <tt>Request</tt>, <tt>RunWith</tt>

Summary of Changes with version 4.2

Bug fix: Inaccessible base class is caught at test construction time.

Bug fix: Circular suites are caught at test construction time.

Improved error messages for array comparison("arrays first differed at element [1][0]")

Test constructors that throw exceptions are reported correctly.

Summary of Changes with version 4.1

Bug fix: listeners now get a correct test running time, rather than always being told 0 secs.

The @RunWith annotation is now inherited by subclasses:
all subclasses of an abstract test class will be run by the same runner.

The build script fails if the JUnit unit tests fail

The faq has been updated

Javadoc has been improved, with more internal links, and package descriptions added (Thanks, Matthias Schmidt!)

An acknowledgements.txt file has been created to credit outside contributions

The <tt>Enclosed</tt> runner, which runs all of the static inner classes of a given class, has been added
to <tt>org.junit.runners</tt>.

Summary of Changes with version 4.0

The architecture of JUnit 4.0 is a substantial departure from that of earlier releases.
Instead of
tagging test classes by subclassing junit.framework.TestCase and tagging test methods by
starting their name with "test", you now tag test methods with the @Test annotation.

unzip the junit4.4.zip file

add junit-4.4.jar to the CLASSPATH. For example:
<tt> set classpath=%classpath%;INSTALL_DIR\junit-4.4.jar;INSTALL_DIR</tt>

test the installation by running <tt>java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests.</tt>

Notice: that the tests are not
contained in the junit-4.4.jar but in the installation directory directly.
Therefore make sure that the installation directory is on the class path

Important: don't install junit-4.4.jar
into the extension directory of your JDK installation. If you do so the
test class on the files system will not be found.

Tales of a gymnastics-mad family life
Attending Our First Post-COVID Gymnastics Competition
October 24, 2021 Lauren Blog
Last month, Mr F took part in his first gymnastics competition since the COVID-19 lockdowns. After almost two years, it felt quite strange to be back in a competition environment- and COVID restrictions still in place meant that it seemed both familiar and alien at the same time.
Walking back into the last gym Mr F had competed at reminded me immediately of what I had been missing about taking him to gymnastics competitions. Since inter-club competitions are gradually beginning to get going again, I thought that lots of gym parents might be wondering what to expect from their child's first post-COVID competition, so I decided to write about our own experience, in the hope that it helps some of you.
Mr F was understandably very nervous when we arrived at the gym, and looking around as we queued outside, I don't think he was the only one. There were lots of nervous faces waiting to be allowed in- on parents as well as children! But within minutes of starting to warm up, Mr F looked absolutely at home on the floor again, as if it had been weeks, rather than years, since his last competition.
The organisers had worked hard to make the venue as safe as possible for spectators and gymnasts. Individual bottles of hand sanitiser were given out on entry, with additional sanitising stations around the gym. Fewer gymnasts than usual were competing, and as a limit of two adult spectators per gymnast had been set, the viewing area wasn't nearly as crowded as it normally would be.
Chairs were arranged in socially distanced pairs, and parents were asked to limit their movement around the viewing area as much as possible, with masks worn whenever we did need to move about. Of course, people did still move around a bit to get a better view of their sons on the different apparatus, but I think that's to be expected; and there was certainly less movement that at many competitions I've been to. As it was less crowded than usual in the spectator's area, it felt reasonably easy to keep my distance from other people, and I found that most people were generally quite respectful of each other's space.

Everyone seemed to be a bit unsure of themselves at first- including the competition organisers, who pointed to the spectators that it had been two years for them, too, and asked us to please bear with them! Despite this, though, we all soon settled into the swing of being in the competition environment again. It was so heartening to see Mr F smiling and chatting in passing to his competitors just like he usually would, almost as if the past two years had never happened. Watching the boys cheering each other on, genuinely proud and congratulating both their team-mates and those from other clubs on good performances, actually made me feel quite emotional!
I did miss all of the clapping and cheering that usually goes on at gymnastics competitions, as I do think it all adds to the atmosphere of excitement. But, as this was the boys' first competition experience in so long, I think the quieter atmosphere might actually have been for the best, as a noisy gym could well have been off-putting, especially for the younger gymnasts.
Overall, Mr F's first competition of 2021 was a really positive experience, and has made me feel much more confident about how British Gymnastics-affiliated clubs are safely providing a path back towards normality for our children.
Have your children been to their first post-COVID gymnastics competition yet? Let me know how it went in the comments!
