SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ''Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. The OCC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the following collection. Title: Debt Cancellation Contracts and Debt Suspension Agreements. OMB Control No.: 1557–0224. Description: Twelve U.S.C. 24(Seventh) authorizes a national bank (bank) to enter into Debt Cancellation Contracts (DCCs) and Debt Suspension Agreements (DSAs). Part 37 requires banks to disclose information about a DCC or a DSA using either a short or long form disclosure. The short form disclosure usually is made orally and E:\FR\FM\20DEN1.SGM 20DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2017 / Notices sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES issued at the time a bank first solicits the purchase of a contract. The long form disclosure usually is made in writing and issued before the customer completes the purchase of the contract. There are special rules for transactions by telephone, solicitations using written mail inserts or ''take one'' applications, and electronic transactions. Part 37 provides two forms of disclosure that serve as models for satisfying the requirements of the rule. Use of the forms is not mandatory, and the regulation permits a bank to adjust the form and wording of its disclosures so long as it meets the applicable requirements. The requirements of part 37 enhance consumer protections for customers who purchase DCCs and DSAs from banks and ensure that banks offer these products in a safe and sound manner by requiring them to effectively manage their risk exposure. Section 37.6 Section 37.6 requires the form of the disclosures to be readily understandable and meaningful. The content of the short and long form may vary, depending on whether a bank elects to provide a summary of the conditions and exclusions in the long form disclosures or refer the customer to the pertinent paragraphs in the contract. For example, the short form disclosure requires a bank to instruct the customer to read carefully both the long form disclosures and the contract for a full explanation of the contract terms, while the long form gives a bank the option of either: (i) Summarizing the limitations; or (ii) advising the customer that a complete explanation of the eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions is available in the contract and identifying the paragraphs where the customer may find that information. Section 37.6 and appendices A and B to part 37 require a bank to provide the following disclosures (summarized below), as appropriate: • Anti-tying (short and long form)—A bank must inform the customer that purchase of the product is optional and that neither the bank's decision whether to approve the loan nor the terms and conditions of the loan are conditioned on the purchase of a DCC or DSA. • Explanation of debt suspension agreement (long form)—A bank must disclose that if a customer activates the agreement, the customer's duty to pay the loan principal and interest is only suspended and the customer must fully repay the loan after the period of suspension has expired. • Amount of the fee (long form)—A bank must make disclosures regarding the amount of the fee. The content of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:36 Dec 19, 2017 Jkt 244001 disclosure depends on whether the credit is open-end or closed-end. In the case of closed-end credit, the bank must disclose the total fee. In the case of open-end credit, the bank must either: (i) Disclose that the periodic fee is based on the account balance multiplied by a unit cost and provide the unit cost; or (ii) disclose the formula used to compute the fee. • Lump sum payment of fee (short and long form)—A bank must disclose, where appropriate, that a customer has the option to pay the fee in a single payment or in periodic payments and adding the fee to the amount borrowed will increase the cost of the contract. This disclosure is not appropriate in the case of a DCC or DSA provided in connection with a home mortgage loan because the option to pay the fee in a single payment is not available in that case. • Lump sum payment of fee with no refund (short and long form)—A bank must disclose that the customer has the option to choose a contract with or without a refund provision. This disclosure must also state that the prices of refund and no-refund products are likely to differ. • Refund of fee paid in lump sum (short and long form)—If a bank permits a customer to pay the fee in a single payment and add the fee to the amount borrowed, the bank must disclose its cancellation policy. The disclosure informs the customer of the bank's refund policy, as applicable, i.e., that the DCC or DSA may be: (i) Canceled at any time for a refund; (ii) cancelled within a specified number of days for a full refund; or (iii) cancelled at any time with no refund. • Whether use of a credit line is restricted (long form)—A bank must inform a customer if the customer's activation of the contract would prohibit the customer from incurring additional charges or using the credit line. • Termination of a DCC or DSA (long form)—If termination is permitted during the life of the loan, a bank must include an explanation of the circumstances under which a customer or the bank may terminate the contract. • Additional disclosures (short form)—A bank must inform consumers that it will provide additional information before the customer is required to pay for the product. • Eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions (short and long form)— A bank must describe any material limitations relating to the DCC or DSA. Section 37.7 Section 37.7 requires a bank to obtain a customer's written affirmative election PO 00000 Frm 00101 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60469 to purchase a contract and written acknowledgment of receipt of the disclosures required by § 37.6. The section further provides that the election and acknowledgment must be conspicuous, simple, direct, readily understandable, and designed to call attention to their significance. Pursuant to § 37.7(b), if the sale of the contract occurs by telephone, the customer's affirmative election to purchase and acknowledgment of receipt of the required short form may be made orally, provided the bank: (i) Maintains sufficient documentation to show that the customer received the short form disclosures and then affirmatively elected to purchase the contract; (ii) mails the affirmative written election and written acknowledgment, together with the long form disclosures required by § 37.6, to the customer within 3 business days after the telephone solicitation and maintains sufficient documentation to show it made reasonable efforts to obtain the documents from the customer; and (iii) permits the customer to cancel the purchase of the contract without penalty within 30 days after the bank has mailed the long form disclosures to the customer. Pursuant to § 37.7(c), if the DCC or DSA is solicited through written materials such as mail inserts or ''take one'' applications and the bank provides only the short form disclosures in the written materials, then the bank shall mail the acknowledgment, together with the long form disclosures, to the customer. The bank may not obligate the customer to pay for the contract until after the bank has received the customer's written acknowledgment of receipt of disclosures, unless the bank takes certain steps, maintains certain documentation, and permits the customer to cancel the purchase within 30 days after mailing the long form disclosures to the customer. Section 37.6(d) permits the customer's affirmative election and acknowledgment to be made electronically. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 1,300. Total Annual Burden Hours: 31,200 hours. The OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment regarding this collection, 82 FR 44875. No comments were received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The OCC is
requesting that OMB extend its approval of the following collection.
Title: Debt Cancellation Contracts and Debt Suspension Agreements.
Description: Twelve U.S.C. 24(Seventh) authorizes a national bank
(bank) to enter into Debt Cancellation Contracts (DCCs) and Debt
Suspension Agreements (DSAs). Part 37 requires banks to disclose
information about a DCC or a DSA using either a short or long form
disclosure. The short form disclosure usually is made orally and
issued at the time a bank first solicits the purchase of a contract.
The long form disclosure usually is made in writing and issued before
the customer completes the purchase of the contract. There are special
rules for transactions by telephone, solicitations using written mail
inserts or ``take one'' applications, and electronic transactions. Part
37 provides two forms of disclosure that serve as models for satisfying
the requirements of the rule. Use of the forms is not mandatory, and
the regulation permits a bank to adjust the form and wording of its
disclosures so long as it meets the applicable requirements. The
requirements of part 37 enhance consumer protections for customers who
purchase DCCs and DSAs from banks and ensure that banks offer these
products in a safe and sound manner by requiring them to effectively
manage their risk exposure.
Section 37.6
Section 37.6 requires the form of the disclosures to be readily
understandable and meaningful. The content of the short and long form
may vary, depending on whether a bank elects to provide a summary of
the conditions and exclusions in the long form disclosures or refer the
customer to the pertinent paragraphs in the contract. For example, the
short form disclosure requires a bank to instruct the customer to read
carefully both the long form disclosures and the contract for a full
explanation of the contract terms, while the long form gives a bank the
option of either: (i) Summarizing the limitations; or (ii) advising the
customer that a complete explanation of the eligibility requirements,
conditions, and exclusions is available in the contract and identifying
the paragraphs where the customer may find that information.
Section 37.6 and appendices A and B to part 37 require a bank to
provide the following disclosures (summarized below), as appropriate:
Anti-tying (short and long form)--A bank must inform the
customer that purchase of the product is optional and that neither the
bank's decision whether to approve the loan nor the terms and
conditions of the loan are conditioned on the purchase of a DCC or DSA.
Explanation of debt suspension agreement (long form)--A
bank must disclose that if a customer activates the agreement, the
customer's duty to pay the loan principal and interest is only
suspended and the customer must fully repay the loan after the period
of suspension has expired.
Amount of the fee (long form)--A bank must make
disclosures regarding the amount of the fee. The content of the
disclosure depends on whether the credit is open-end or closed-end. In
the case of closed-end credit, the bank must disclose the total fee. In
the case of open-end credit, the bank must either: (i) Disclose that
the periodic fee is based on the account balance multiplied by a unit
cost and provide the unit cost; or (ii) disclose the formula used to
compute the fee.
Lump sum payment of fee (short and long form)--A bank must
disclose, where appropriate, that a customer has the option to pay the
fee in a single payment or in periodic payments and adding the fee to
the amount borrowed will increase the cost of the contract. This
disclosure is not appropriate in the case of a DCC or DSA provided in
connection with a home mortgage loan because the option to pay the fee
in a single payment is not available in that case.
Lump sum payment of fee with no refund (short and long
form)--A bank must disclose that the customer has the option to choose
a contract with or without a refund provision. This disclosure must
also state that the prices of refund and no-refund products are likely
to differ.
Refund of fee paid in lump sum (short and long form)--If a
bank permits a customer to pay the fee in a single payment and add the
fee to the amount borrowed, the bank must disclose its cancellation
policy. The disclosure informs the customer of the bank's refund
policy, as applicable, i.e., that the DCC or DSA may be: (i) Canceled
at any time for a refund; (ii) cancelled within a specified number of
days for a full refund; or (iii) cancelled at any time with no refund.
Whether use of a credit line is restricted (long form)--A
bank must inform a customer if the customer's activation of the
contract would prohibit the customer from incurring additional charges
or using the credit line.
Termination of a DCC or DSA (long form)--If termination is
permitted during the life of the loan, a bank must include an
explanation of the circumstances under which a customer or the bank may
terminate the contract.
Additional disclosures (short form)--A bank must inform
consumers that it will provide additional information before the
customer is required to pay for the product.
Eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions
(short and long form)--A bank must describe any material limitations
relating to the DCC or DSA.
Section 37.7 requires a bank to obtain a customer's written
affirmative election to purchase a contract and written acknowledgment
of receipt of the disclosures required by Sec.  37.6. The section
further provides that the election and acknowledgment must be
conspicuous, simple, direct, readily understandable, and designed to
call attention to their significance. Pursuant to Sec.  37.7(b), if the
sale of the contract occurs by telephone, the customer's affirmative
election to purchase and acknowledgment of receipt of the required
short form may be made orally, provided the bank: (i) Maintains
sufficient documentation to show that the customer received the short
form disclosures and then affirmatively elected to purchase the
contract; (ii) mails the affirmative written election and written
acknowledgment, together with the long form disclosures required by
Sec.  37.6, to the customer within 3 business days after the telephone
solicitation and maintains sufficient documentation to show it made
reasonable efforts to obtain the documents from the customer; and (iii)
permits the customer to cancel the purchase of the contract without
penalty within 30 days after the bank has mailed the long form
disclosures to the customer.
Pursuant to Sec.  37.7(c), if the DCC or DSA is solicited through
written materials such as mail inserts or ``take one'' applications and
the bank provides only the short form disclosures in the written
materials, then the bank shall mail the acknowledgment, together with
the long form disclosures, to the customer. The bank may not obligate
the customer to pay for the contract until after the bank has received
the customer's written acknowledgment of receipt of disclosures, unless
the bank takes certain steps, maintains certain documentation, and
permits the customer to cancel the purchase within 30 days after
mailing the long form disclosures to the customer. Section 37.6(d)
permits the customer's affirmative election and acknowledgment to be
made electronically.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 1,300.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 31,200 hours.

Open Architecture is the Future of Coding Standards for Automotive Industry
The dependency on software tools for the automotive industry is on a rising trend. At present, it takes more than 100 million lines of codes to build a single passenger car. Research is being carried to develop a fully automated vehicle which will make the dependency on software codes to a greater height. The level 5 vision of the society of automotive engineers will see the advent of driverless cars and other next generation of vehicles which will increase the reliance on software codes. The present generation of vehicles also relies heavily on software codes with improved connectivity to IoT devices.
Open architectures are the need of this hour to help standardize the security elements as much as possible to manage the growing complexity. This will also enable the software teams to comply with the standards. There needs to be a comprehensive coding standard to ensure a safe, reliable and easy to maintain system.
The motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) and automotive open system architecture (AUTOSAR) are responsible for making software coding standards for automotive industry and the idustries where embedded systems are used. C and C++ are the two most widely used software languages in the automotive industry. Likewise, MISRA C, MISRA C++, and the AUTOSAR C++ are the main coding standards. Established in 1988 MISRA is a set of 127 guidelines for the use of C language in Safety-critical language. Not only the automotive industries but all the industries that use safety-related electronics systems have acknowledged the importance of following MISRA guidelines.
The need to adopt C++ has forced the companies to move to AUTOSAR C++ guidelines. AUTOSAR is established by the partnership of more than 180 companies. With the aim to standardize open system architectures, AUTOSAR is expected to be the future of automotive design guidelines. The AUTOSAR C++ guidelines have been created to comply with the stringent requirements of ISO 26262.
Automotive designing continues to be one of the most fast-paced and innovative markets which always strive to go an extra mile when it comes to safety and reliability.

Q: Symfony PHPUnit self::$kernel is null in second test I am trying to create a PHPunit test accessing services from the container in symfony. To do so I call self::bootKernel in setUpBeforeClass. In the first test, the self::$kernel is ok, but the second test self::$kernel is null.
This is a simple test to check it:
<?php

namespace App\Tests;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class KernelTest extends WebTestCase
{
    public static function setUpBeforeClass(): void
    {
        self::bootKernel();
    }

    public function testMethod1(){
        $this->assertNotNull(self::$kernel);
    }

    public function testMethod2(){
        $this->assertNotNull(self::$kernel);
    }
}

This produces the following output:
$ bin/phpunit tests/KernelTest.php
PHPUnit 7.5.18 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Notice: Undefined index: warnings in /app/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/TextUI/TestRunner.php on line 334

FAILURES!
Tests: 2, Assertions: 2, Failures: 1.

As you can see, the second test fails the assertion.
This is the version that I am running of phpunit:
phpunit/phpunit                     8.5.2      The PHP Unit Testing framework.
symfony/phpunit-bridge              v5.0.2     Symfony PHPUnit Bridge

What I am doing wrong? Should I boot kernel in each test? I would like to boot it only once.

A: Just have a look at the definition of the WebTestCase, for example through GitHub: in its tearDown method, the parent tearDown of the KernelTestCase (see GitHub once more) is called, and this forces a shutdown of the kernel. As tearDown is called after each invididual test, booting the kernel once before all other tests does not help.
Symfony's own documentation boots the kernel in setUp (happening right before each individual test case), so that looks reasonable to me.
If you fear performance issues, keep in mind that such integration tests should not be used everywhere. By following the usual testing pyramid, you should have lots of unit tests (testing small parts of your code in isolation), less tests for coupled classes (where you could mock depending parts), and only a few test cases covering the whole system

Stuck in a muddle with you! Two baby elephants are rescued after falling into a muddy waterhole in Zimbabwe
The two baby elephants were rescued from the mud at Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe last month
Members of the 'Wild is life' animal sanctuary and a veterinarian took around half a day to haul them out
The animals had to be treated for injuries which the rescuers believed might have been inflicted by hyenas
The elephants were loaded onto a waiting plane and have been recovering at the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery
By Ross Ibbetson For Mailonline
Two baby elephants have been rescued after falling into a muddy waterhole during a severe drought in Zimbabwe.
The elephants, Tess and Mana, were discovered by wildlife photographer Jens Cullmann at Mana Pools National Park last month and she alerted the 'Wild is life' animal sanctuary.
Ropes and shovels were used by members of the charity, locals and a veterinarian, who took around half a day to free the two stricken animals.
The elephants were given intravenous drips for their dehydration after being hauled out of the ground and then loaded onto a plane to be flown to the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery.
Ms Cullmann, 50, said she believed the pair had become stuck after trying to get water and were too weak to escape from the mud.
Scroll down for video.
One of the baby elephants grips a rescuer's leg with its trunk after it became stuck in the mud at the Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, at the beginning of last month. It took rescuers around half a day to haul them out of the mud and they were treated before being loaded onto a plane
Members of the 'Wild is life' animal sanctuary and a veterinarian worked to haul the baby elephants out of the mud. A newborn elephant usually weighs around 20 stone, though it is not clear exactly how old the pair were
Rescuers use a branch with a rope tied to it as a lever to extract the elephant from the mud. Wild is life wrote on Instagram: 'Thanks to all who helped on the ground with these rescues. Great to see caring Zimbabweans who are trying to make a difference to the souls with whom they live. Thank you, one and all!'

The rescuers give water to one of the severely dehydrated elephants after it was saved from the mud. Jens Cullmann, 50, a wildlife photographer from Germany said: 'It was quite emotional and devastating to see so many animals suffer - elephants especially since they are in a way very "human"'
Some of the rescuers pulled the elephants while others pushed. Both of them had been injured, the rescuers believed by hyenas, and had to be treated for the wounds before being flown onward.
The two babies are now recovering and are said to be enjoying life at the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery.
Ms Pullmann said: 'It's been a very different stay in Mana Pools this year compared to the last years - I've been there every year for the past nine years now and I've never seen a drought like this one.
'It was quite emotional and devastating to see so many animals suffer - elephants especially since they are in a way very "human".
The baby elephants were given intravenous drips to help them re-hydrate and then flown to Wild is life's Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery. The nursery was established in 2012 by Roxy Danckwerts. It is currently made up of two projects, the Nursery in Harare and the Re-wilding facility in Victoria Falls.
Rescue workers are covered in mud as they prepare an intravenous drip for one of the elephants which lies exhausted on the baked mud. The Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery is generously supported by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) who have partnered with ZEN to ensure the long term sustainability of the project

The elephants were loaded onto the back of a truck and transported to a waiting plane so they could be transferred to the elephant nursery. The photographer said: 'It must have happened in the night before - I was at this time in this area every day and I would have noticed it. 'When I found them, the elephants had already injuries, probably from hyenas.'

'When I found them, the elephants had already injuries, probably from hyenas.
'After I've witnessed elephants dying and seeing lonely babies wandering around by themselves, it was really good that we were able to do something as well, to help saving them, it makes you feel a little less powerless.'
The elephants were carted to a nearby runway so they could be shipped off for more recovery at the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery

Populist-Nationalist Tide Rolls On
author: Patrick J. Buchanan

Now that the British have voted to secede from the European Union and America has chosen a president who has never before held public office, the French appear to be following suit.
In Sunday's runoff to choose a candidate to face Marine Le Pen of the National Front in next spring's presidential election, the center-right Republicans chose Francois Fillon in a landslide.
While Fillon sees Margaret Thatcher as a role model in fiscal policy, he is a socially conservative Catholic who supports family values, wants to confront Islamist extremism, control immigration, restore France's historic identity and end sanctions on Russia.
"Russia poses no threat to the West," says Fillon. But if not, the question arises, why NATO? Why are U.S. troops in Europe?
As Le Pen is favored to win the first round of the presidential election and Fillon the second in May, closer Paris-Putin ties seem certain. Europeans themselves are pulling Russia back into Europe, and separating from the Americans.
Next Sunday, Italy holds a referendum on constitutional reforms backed by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. If the referendum, trailing in the polls, fails, says Renzi, he will resign.
Opposing Renzi is the secessionist Northern League, the Five Star Movement of former comedian Beppe Grillo, and the Forza Italia of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a pal of Putin's.
"Up to eight of Italy's troubled banks risk failure," if Renzi's government falls, says the Financial Times. One week from today, the front pages of the Western press could be splashing the newest crisis of the EU.
In Holland, the Party for Freedom of Geert Wilders, on trial for hate speech for urging fewer Moroccan immigrants, is running first or close to it in polls for the national election next March.
Meanwhile, the door to the EU appears to be closing for Muslim Turkey, as the European Parliament voted to end accession talks with Ankara and its autocratic president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In welcoming Muslim immigrants, Germany's Angela Merkel no longer speaks for Europe, even as she is about to lose her greatest ally, Barack Obama.
Not only Europe but the whole world President-elect Trump is about to inherit seems in turmoil, with old regimes and parties losing their hold, and nationalist, populist and rightist forces rising.
Early this year, Brazil's Senate voted to remove leftist President Dilma Rousseff. In September, her predecessor, popular ex-President Lula da Silva, was indicted in a corruption investigation. President Michel Temer, who, as vice president, succeeded Rousseff, is now under investigation for corruption. There is talk of impeaching him.
Venezuela, endowed with more oil than almost any country on earth, is now, thanks to the Castroism of Hugo Chavez and successor Nicolas Maduro, close to collapse and anarchy.
NATO's Turkey and our Arab ally, Egypt, both ruled by repressive regimes, are less responsive to U.S. leadership.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye, her approval rating in single digits, is facing impeachment and prosecution for corruption.
Meanwhile, North Korea, under Kim Jong Un, continues to test nuclear warheads and missiles that can hit all of South Korea and Japan and reach all U.S. bases in East Asia and the Western Pacific.
The U.S. is obligated by treaty to defend South Korea, where we still have 28,500 troops, and Japan, as well as the Philippines, where new populist President Rodrigo Duterte, cursing the West, is pivoting toward Beijing. Malaysia and Australia are also moving closer to China, as they become ever more dependent on the China trade.
Responding to our moving NATO troops into Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, Putin has begun a buildup of nuclear-capable offensive and defensive missiles in Kaliningrad, its enclave between Poland and Lithuania.
Should we get into a confrontation with the Russians in the Eastern Baltic, how many of our NATO allies, some now openly pro-Putin, would stand beside us?
The point: Not only is the Cold War over, the post-Cold War is over. We are living in a changed and changing world. Regimes are falling. Old parties are dying, new parties rising. Old allegiances are fraying, and old allies drifting away.
The forces of nationalism and populism have been unleashed all over the West and all over the world. There is no going back.
Yet U.S. policy seems set in concrete by war guarantees and treaty commitments dating back to the time of Truman and Stalin and Ike and John Foster Dulles.
America emerged from the Cold War, a quarter century ago, as the sole superpower. Yet, it seems clear that we are not today so dominant a nation as we were in 1989 and 1991.
We have great rivals and adversaries. We are deeper in debt. We are more divided. We've fought wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen that availed us nothing. What we had, we kicked away.
America is at a plastic moment in history.
And America needs nothing so much as reflective thought about a quarter century of failures — and fresh thinking about her future.

Written by Patrick Buchanan
Pat Buchanan has been a senior adviser to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. From 1966 through 1974, Buchanan was a confidant and assistant to Richard Nixon. From 1985 to 1987, he was the White House Director of Communications for Ronald Reagan. In 1992, Buchanan challenged George H. W. Bush for the Republican nomination and almost upset the president in the New Hampshire primary. In 1996, he won New Hampshire and finished second to Sen. Robert Dole with 3 million Republican votes. Buchanan was born in Washington, D.C., educated at Catholic and Jesuit schools, and received his master's degree in journalism from Columbia in 1962. At 23, he became the youngest editorial writer on a major newspaper in America, The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In 1966, Buchanan became the first full-time staff member in the legendary comeback of Richard Nixon. He traveled with the future president in the campaigns of 1966 and 1968, and served as special assistant to the president from his first day in office through the final days of Watergate. On leaving the White House, Buchanan became a columnist and founding father of three of the most enduring talk shows in TV history: "The McLaughlin Group," CNN's "Capital Gang" and "Crossfire." In 2002, he joined MSNBC where he remained for ten years. In his White House years, Buchanan wrote foreign policy speeches and attended four summits, including Nixon's opening to China in 1972 and Reagan's Geneva and Reykjavik summits with Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985 and 1986. Buchanan has written 12 books, including seven New York Times best-sellers: "A Republic Not an Empire," "Death of the West," "Where the Right Went Wrong," "State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America," "Day of Reckoning," "Churchill, Hitler and The Unnecessary War," and "Suicide of a Superpower," as well as a Washington Post 1988 best-seller about growing up in the nation's capital, "Right From the Beginning." He is married to the former Shelley Ann Scarney, a member of the White House staff from 1969 to 1975.

The M73 is an American 7.62mm medium machine gun. In-game the weapon can be found predominantly as a co-axial machine gun on the M48 and M60 family of tanks (historically it replaced the earlier M37 (7.62 mm) machine gun on these tanks), as well as being mounted co-axially on some other rank 5 / 6 American tanks. Being only a 7.62 mm machine gun it is largely ineffective against all but the most weakly armoured, or open cabin, vehicles.

Other M551 · MBT-70 · Magach 3 · T95E1 · XM-803
Despite being a completely separate gun the M73 performs identically to the M1919A4 (7.62 mm) and its derivatives.
Available ammunition
The M73 can only be equipped with one ammo belt consisting of one Armour Piercing (AP) bullet, followed by one Tracer (T) bullet. Neither bullet has much penetration (maximum of 10 mm), however the AP bullet performs much better than the tracer bullet.

Comparison with analogues
The M73 performs identically to the M1919A4 and its derivatives (L3A1 & M37). Like the M1919A4 it suffers from a somewhat low rate of fire compared to other , similar, machine guns such as the BESA and L8A1, firing 100 rounds per minute less (500 compared to 600). The weapon also has slightly worse penetration than the BESA (7.92 mm), which is the main co-axial weapon of British tanks, although does get a larger ammo belt than other comparable guns.
Due to the very low penetration this weapon it is largely ineffective against enemy armour (although you may be able to penetrate some vehicles with extremely thin armour). The gun is primarily useful for incapacitating exposed crew members in open topped vehicles (although there are few such vehicles at the battle ratings this gun is found at). The gun can also be used for ranging on some vehicles, as well as marking enemy vehicles and obscuring the view of enemy players (shooting at their gun sight). You can use the gun against aircraft however it does minimal damage, and being co-axially mounted on most tanks can often not be brought / kept on target against aircraft.

The M73 is an American 7.62mm medium machine gun, unlike previous American tank mounted machine guns the M73 was designed from the start to use the the 7.62×51mm NATO round (instead of the 7.62×63mm ".30-06 Springfield" round). During WW2 the M1919A4 (7.62 mm) machine gun was the US army's standard co-axial mounted machine gun, and although being a proven weapon it had some limitations in the co-axial mounted role. After WW2 the army commissioned and improved version (the M37), but also looked to outright replace the M1919 with a newer design. The program to replace the M1919 was started in 1951 and faced a series of delays, eventually ending in early 1959 with the Springfield Armory's T197E2 prototype being selected for as the M73, and production starting the same year.
The M73 was predominantly fitted to the M48 and M60 Patton series of tanks, as well as the M551 Sheridan; it featured the ability to be fed from either side and other features which would in theory make it a good co-axial machine gun. In reality the weapon soon proved to be over complicated, and rapidly became highly disliked by tank crews due to frequent malfunctions and a very high rate jamming, compared to the extremely reliable M1919 and M37 they were used to. In 1970 an improved version, the M73E1, was produced in order to address the poor reliability of the original, and in 1972 the weapon was re-designated M219 (rumoured to have been done to try and try and remove the stigma associated with the M73 name).
The M73E1 / M219 again proved to suffer from extreme reliability issues and by 1971 the US army, and the weapons manufacturer, had decided the weapon was a lost cause and begun a replacement program, with with 8 different prototypes being produced (with 5 later being selected for further development). While the American replacement program was underway, on 6th October 1973 the Yom Kippur War started with Egypt and Syria invading Israel. During the 20 day long war Israel used their American M60 (designated Magach) tanks, armed with the M73. After their experiences using the M73 in battle the Israelis declared it unfit for purpose and demanded that the US replace the guns with something more reliable.
The US Army's replacement program was scrapped and they instead evaluated eight different, already existing, machine guns as a more rapid replacement. In the end they selected the Belgian FN MAG 60-40 (7.62 mm) machine gun to enter service as the M240, replacing the M73 on American and Israeli tanks.

Bei der betroffenen Maschine handelte es sich um eine 22 Jahre und 3 Monate alte CASA/Nurtanio NC-212 Aviocar 100, die von der Construcciones Aeronáuticas S.A. in Sevilla, Spanien und im Werk der Industri Pesawat Terbang Nurtanio in Bandung, Indonesien gebaut wurde. Das Flugzeug mit der Modellseriennummer 120 und der Werksnummer 18N wurde im Jahr 1978 endmontiert, es handelte sich um die 120. fertiggestellte Serienmaschine (abzüglich zweier Prototypen) sowie um das 18. in indonesischer Lizenzfertigung montierte Flugzeug dieses Typs. Der Erstflug mit dem Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen PK-XCQ wurde am 17. Januar 1980 durchgeführt. Die Auslieferung an die Sabang Merauke Raya Air Charter mit dem neuen Kennzeichen PK-ZAI erfolgte am 23. August 1980, es handelte sich seinerzeit um die erste Maschine dieses Typs, die bei der Fluggesellschaft in Betrieb ging. Das zweimotorige STOL-Regionalverkehrsflugzeug war mit zwei Turboprop-Triebwerken des Typs Garrett TPE331-10HR ausgestattet, die mit Vierblattpropellern bestückt waren.

Passagiere und Besatzung
Für den Inlandsflug hatten 14 Passagiere in der Maschine Platz genommen, die Cockpitbesatzung bestand aus einem Kapitän und einem Ersten Offizier. Auf diesem Regionalflug waren keine Flugbegleiter vorgesehen. Der Unfall ereignete sich, als ein weiterer Passagier, der den Zeitpunkt des Einsteigens verpasst hatte, versuchte, nachträglich an Bord zu gelangen.

Unfallhergang
Nachdem das Boarding abgeschlossen war, starteten die Piloten die Triebwerke, um vom Flugsteig zur Startbahn zu rollen. Plötzlich rannte ein Mann aus dem Flughafengebäude heraus und auf die Maschine zu. Als er auf die Maschine zurannte, lief er in den linken Propeller des Flugzeugs und wurde dabei getötet. Die Maschine wurde nur geringfügig beschädigt.

Unfalluntersuchung
Bei der Unfalluntersuchung stellte sich heraus, dass es sich bei dem getöteten Mann um einen Passagier gehandelt hatte, der für den Flug gebucht war. Der Mann war verspätet am Flughafen eingetroffen und hatte versucht, den Flug noch zu erreichen. Es wurde gemutmaßt, dass der Mann über einen VIP-Raum, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht bewacht wurde, auf das Rollfeld gelangt war.

Kontext
Es handelte sich um den zweiten tödlichen Propellerzwischenfall mit einer CASA C-212 Aviocar im indonesischen Regionalflugverkehr, der sich binnen weniger Monate ereignete. Im Dezember 2001 hatte sich ein Abfertiger am Flughafen Juvai Semaring beim Entladen einer Maschine ebenfalls tödliche Verletzungen zugezogen.

Verbleib der Maschine
Das nur gering beschädigte Flugzeug wurde nach dem Unfall wieder instand gesetzt und weiter im Regionalflugverkehr der SMAC eingesetzt. Es ereigneten sich noch zwei weitere Zwischenfälle, beim letzten, erneut tödlichen Zwischenfall wurde die Maschine zerstört:

 Am 30. November 2005 war die Maschine in einen weiteren Zwischenfall verwickelt, als sie bei einem Flug von Medan auf dem Flughafen Sinabang-Lasikin das Ende der Landebahn um 60 Meter über- und in einen Sumpf hineinrollte. Alle 12 Passagiere und drei Besatzungsmitglieder überlebten den Zwischenfall, der Rumpf und die Tragflächen wurden an mehreren Stellen beschädigt und die Propellerblätter des rechten Propellers verbogen, nachdem sie mit einem betonierten Zaunpfosten in Kontakt kamen. Der Schadensumfang wurde dennoch als "gering" eingestuft und die Maschine wieder repariert.

 Am 12. Februar 2011 wurde mit der Maschine nach einem Wechsel von Triebwerk Nr. 1 ein Testflug vom Flughafen Hang Nadim (Batam) zum Flughafen Tanjung Pinang Kidjang durchgeführt. Die Maschine stürzte auf diesem Flug in einer vertikalen Fluglage zu Boden, wobei alle fünf Insassen getötet wurden.

Added on February 28, 2014 by Eric Bernasek.
Shortly after the theatrical release of Captain Phillips, the New York Post published an article in which a real life crew member from the real life Maersk Alabama, the ship of the real life Captain Richard Phillips, alleged that the film was something less than completely faithful to the real life hijacking on which it was based. In the article, one of Phillips' crew members anonymously asserts that his captain was not the hero that the film (allegedly) portrays him to be. (That is, in addition to alleging that Phillips is kind of an arrogant prick, the anonymous crew member also alleges that the film portrays Phillips to be a hero. A fair interpretation, but debatable. It's pretty clear the fictional captain's fictional crew also regards Phillips to be an arrogant prick. His heroism in the film seems pretty consequential. As in "out of his control," not "substantial.") The allegations make for a juicy little scuttlebutt, though the article's account of what happens in the film (beyond Phillips' so-called heroism) is itself less than accurate, making it difficult to regard the article as much more than high profile hearsay. (Besides, anyone who expects a Hollywood blockbuster to stand in for reliable historical record should probably stay away from the multiplex.)
Still, the article highlights a significant problem for films based on true events: Making a compelling story out of something that actually happened often requires that the truth be adapted and/or completely misappropriated. Sometimes that involves making a hero out of someone whose actions may in reality have been less than heroic. Moreover, knowledge of a film's source material may be to its detriment, which is certainly a problem here. Even if you're ignorant of the 2009 hijacking on which Captain Phillips is based, even if you're unaware that the screenplay is adapted from the good captain's memoir, you have the New York Post to tell you that, in real life, this Captain Phillips guy is kind of a jerk – to say nothing of the fact that he's totally alive.
And the fact that Captain Phillips survived his ordeal ends up being a pretty inconvenient truth for anyone trying to make a movie about that ordeal. Of course, you can be fairly certain that the hero in any Hollywood blockbuster is going to make it to the end of the movie without getting himself (yes, himself) killed. But if a filmmaker threatens otherwise, you want that threat to be a credible one. In the case of Captain Phillips, the pirates are menacing enough, but all in all their menace is not real, especially once the action's left the ship and the pirates have taken Phillips hostage on a stolen lifeboat. Aside from the pirates themselves, anyone whose cinematic mortality might have been in question is left aboard the Maersk Alabama, which sails away into its own sunset, cutting its connection to the rest of the story. And because this happens fairly early in the narrative, the majority of the film is spent with a character we root for simply by default. The only emotional currency he can use to purchase our investment in his future comes from his connection to a wife and family so superfluous we don't even get the satisfaction of seeing their reunion with him at the end of the film.
None of this is to say that Captain Phillips is a bad film, or even to say it's an unexciting one. Director Paul Greengrass is a consummate professional when it comes to this sort of deadly serious action movie, especially when it involves big budget historical re-enactment. He and screenwriter Billy Ray likewise do a fine job of avoiding the geopolitical in favor of the personal, focusing the story on human relationships and human emotions and how both may fare in crisis, largely eschewing the global forces that have contributed to these particular humans being flung together in the first place.
At the beginning of the film Phillips and his wife do share a few muddled and inconsequential words about the increasing speed of modern life, (which is ironic for a movie that features chase scenes involving a ship that couldn't get a speeding ticket in a residential area.) We also get a glimpse of the pressures the Somali pirates have to contend with, but those too are later boiled down to the sort of human struggle we can all relate to. (Muse: "I got bosses. They got rules." Phillips: "We all got bosses.") Thankfully, the film doesn't stress big global political themes any more than it has to.
And yet, in spite of its focus on the personal, the action isn't so emotionally affecting. It's exciting, sure. (And what excitement it does generate is due in part to editing – Academy Award winner and nominee, Christopher Rouse – as well as sound – editing, mixing, and score.) But it isn't until the very end of the film that emotion is finally part of the picture, when at long last Tom Hanks gets his chance to emote for the camera. Up until that point Hanks plays Phillips fairly close to the chest, allowing him a sort of forced and awkward "grace" under pressure. And, as is appropriate for a character so taciturn, when the levee breaks, it all comes out at once. That eruption is easily the most emotionally charged scene in the film, all the more so because Hanks, as Phillips, is trying to plug the holes in the dyke even as the water comes gushing out all around him.

David C. Knill, professor of brain and cognitive sciences, and associate director of the Center for Visual Science, passed away suddenly on October 6th at the age of 53.
"He was a big part of the heart and soul of this department," said Greg DeAngelis, George Eastman Professor and chair of BCS.
Knill, who came to the University as an associate professor in 1999, was a leading scientist in the study of human perception. He also served as the associate director of the Center for Visual Science since 2001. Most of his work, which included over 60 research and review articles, focused on visual perception and how humans use vision to guide physical actions.
Knill was an international leader in the application of Bayesian statistics to the study of perception, said David Williams, Dean for Research in Arts, Sciences and Engineering, and Director of the Center for Visual Science.
"Dave was really brilliant," said DeAngelis, adding that Knill often came up with theories and models of how systems work that could explain a broad array of observations that had lingered in the literature for years, which before only seemed loosely connected and sometimes puzzling.
In addition to Knill's methodology and research, he is remembered as a man of strong moral principles.
As associate director of the Center for Visual Science, Knill was "superlative" in his leadership of the center, and in organizing and implementing training programs for undergrads, graduates, and post-docs, Williams said.
Knill received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Virginia, and a Ph.D. from Brown University. Prior to his work at the University of Rochester, Knill served as an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and as a post-doctoral associate and research associate at the University of Minnesota.
Knill's wife, Deborah Rossen-Knill, is an associate professor and director of the University's Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program.
Knill is survived by his wife and their sons, Ari and Joshua; his parents, Ronald and Barbara Knill; brother, Joseph (Kim) Knill; sister, Mary Knill (fiancé, Peter Jenssens); mother-in-law, Selma and Jack Rossen; brothers-in-law, Michael (Kate Troast) Rossen and Barry (Lisa) Rossen; several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, 1-4, 6-8 PM, at their home (111 Edgemoor Rd., Brighton), and Shiva will be observed on Friday, 2:30-5:30 PM, also at their home.
A Funeral Service will be held Friday, 11:30 AM at the funeral chapel (2305 Monroe Ave.). Interment is at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Habitat for Humanity, 755 Culver Rd., Rochester, NY 14609.

The Priesthood of All Believers
Audio / Produced by The High Calling
I'll never forget: I was speaking on Christian leadership once to a civic club in Atlanta, Georgia. A member of the Georgia Legislature came up to me and said, "Mr. Butt, that was a wonderful talk." He said, "I have always wanted to be a leader, but I never made it."
Now isn't that revealing? I know what he was saying. He wanted to have some leadership he never got.
The book of Revelation in the letter to the Philadelphians says a very profound thing, "Let no man rob you of your crown" (Rev.3:11). You are a leader. You are glorified with Jesus Christ right now. You share in his ruling and reigning of the universe right now. Don't let anybody take that away from you. Assert it, be conscious of it, be rational about it, have it prioritized: Because you cannot be a priest without standing. Christ in you stands in the place of leadership that truly is yours, not in the places you lust for, but the places of leadership that are truly yours. Our priesthood means we stand. Our priesthood means we serve.
Of course, without service Christian leadership is just the same old thing. It's tyranny. It is oppression—and that is the human experience. It is the experience of oppression. But there's good news! A new leadership style is coming, and it arrived washing the disciples' feet. It is leadership that serves.
This Classic Audio is from a talk by Howard Butt, Jr., called "Celebrating our Priesthood" delivered in 1981 at Laity Lodge in Leakey, TX.
No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
(Ps. 75:6-7)

Safety Reviews
Summary Safety Review - Ruxolitinib - Assessing the potential risk of liver injury
Potential Safety Issue
Liver (hepatic) injury
Ruxolitinib is a prescription drug authorized for sale in Canada to treat adult patients with certain types of blood cancers. Health Canada carried out a safety review after receiving information that included an international report of a suspected serious liver injury from an ongoing study that used ruxolitinib to treat patients.
Although the risk of liver injury is not mentioned in the safety information for ruxolitinib, it recommends that healthcare professionals test the patient's blood before and during treatment for signs of liver problems.
Health Canada's review concluded that the evidence does not show a link between ruxolitinib and the risk of liver injury. The safety information for the drug is appropriate at this time.Health Canada will continue to monitor the safety of ruxolitinib.
Health Canada carried out a safety review after receiving information that included an international report of a suspected serious liver injury from an ongoing study that used ruxolitinib to treat patients. The manufacturer was asked to provide all available data on this drug and the risk of liver injury. The product information already recommends that healthcare professionals test the patient's blood to check liver function before starting treatment with ruxolitinib and at regular periods afterward to see how patients respond to the treatment, or to see if ruxolitinib is having an unwanted effect and to adjust the dose if necessary. However, the risk of liver injury or liver failure with the use of ruxolitinib is not mentioned.
Use in Canada
Ruxolitinib is a prescription drug used to treat adult patients with an enlarged spleen (i.e. splenomegaly) and to help control the symptoms caused by myelofibrosis, a rare form of blood cancer. It is also used to control the excess amount of red blood cells in the blood in certain patients with polycythemia vera, a type of blood cancer.
Ruxolitinib has been marketed in Canada since 2012 under the brand name Jakavi and is available as tablets taken by mouth.
Safety Review Findings
At the time of the review, Health Canada received one Canadian reportFootnote a of liver injury (i.e., liver failure) in a patient treated with ruxolitinib. The review of this case showed that the liver failure was likely due to the worsening (i.e., progression) of the disease for which the patient received ruxolitinib and not the drug itself.
This safety review looked at information collected by the manufacturer. Health Canada reviewed 25 international patient reports of liver injury or liver failure with the use of ruxolitinib. These reports provided information about the patients' symptoms and blood tests that indicated liver injury or liver failure. The symptoms happened during treatment with ruxolitinib or within 30 days of stopping the treatment.
A possible link between liver problems and the use of ruxolitinib was found in 11 reports and included the report from the study that triggered the review. However, it was not possible to determine whether ruxolitinib itself caused the liver problems because in general, patients with myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera often have liver problems due to their disease and also take other medications that may affect the liver. In 13 of the 25 reports, the liver problems were likely due to other causes such as other drugs or the disease itself. In the remaining report there was not enough information provided to determine whether or not ruxolitinib caused the liver injury.
Conclusions and Actions
Health Canada's review concluded that the evidence does not show a link between ruxolitinib and the risk of liver injury. The safety information for the drug is appropriate at this time because it recommends that healthcare professionals test the patient's blood to check the liver before starting treatment with ruxolitinib and at regular periods afterward.
Health Canada will continue to monitor safety information involving ruxolitinib, as it does for all health products on the Canadian market, to identify and assess potential harms. Health Canada will take appropriate and timely action if and when any new health risks are identified.
The analysis that contributed to this safety review included scientific and medical literature, Canadian and international adverse reaction reports and what is known about the use of this drug both in Canada and internationally.
