Kind of do away, with the egress window that is not true. The article 38, and it may, prohibit the natural ventation through the windows, egress windows and included and but in the event of fire, the egress window the buildings should still be designed by the egress windows and so they are by no means made available. In terms of the dbis position and this issue, it clearly represents a deviation from the current code and we all know that the code is a little lagging behind most in the case behind the technology and mr. Oneal correctly pointed out that todays technology, the Response Time of the smoke damper is much better than it used to be when the code was made. And so, conceptually, we think that it is a sound concept, design. But, on the other hand as the code enforcer we are also concerning that in the event of the fire smoke damper failure the smoke could potentially get into the egress channel. And that is the corridor and so, the very much would like to work with the Fire Depar
Allowing the smoke into these corridor and stairwells . What is the standard for that . There is not one defined in the Building Code. I understand that, and the reason that i asked if we are allowing the smoke to get into the corridors we are actually changing the peoples perception of what is happening in those corridors, the layman people, may not recognize it, and this is not, this is safe. And there is smoke in here, but this is safe. Right. That is one of my concerns, about allowing the smoke into the corridors and only into the stairwell, and i can tell you from experience, and in my college days i lived in an apartment and there was a fire in the corridor and where there was a fire somewhere, once i saw the smoke i didnt go in the corridor i went out the back and through a window, that is throughout, and i dont think that laymans original public, general residents living in those buildings, will recognize, oh, this is safe enough for me to go through. That is a good point. You
But weve benefitted as a society by having a wall between the government and the people. And lets keep that wall in place to make sure that nobody in the government can tell you what to do when it comes to your religious freedom. At the same time for those who believe in god youre not the enemy. We dont need to drive god out of the public square. We just need to make sure weve got the right balance. Josh thank you very much to bill ladd for that question. Back to the studio audience. A different take on foreign policy. For more than a decade, the medias coverage of American Foreign policy is focused on our militarys efforts to combat terrorism and extremism. Id like to hear your views on the World International planning policy despite popular conceptions, international aide only comprises 1 of the federal budget. Do you see international aide as an important tool in building strong communitys and allies around the world. Senator graham did yall hear this question . 1 of your federal bu
Fidelity or granularity during the q a period. During the war game, russia was able to operate with more flexibility and options. The russian team had a lot more options. They were less constrained by international norms, laws, alliances. For instance, during one of our turns, russia was able to delay armor and troops along the border, and this was cast as a defensive move or posture, and what it was was an overly aggressive move. Which leads me to the second point. Russia operates with a far more robust informational operations campaign. Their io was remarked by one of the participants as they more or less recognized propaganda. Oftentimes, russia was able to spin a particular narrative that the west could not easily counter, or if they did attempt to counter, it took a bit of lead time in order to gather the facts and figures in order to put forth more of a truthful message. Again, alluding to the first point, the russian team was more flexible in how they reacted to most of the scen
