Ein Brandüberschlag ist die Brandausbreitung durch ein Überschlagen der Flammen, Funken oder durch Hitzeeinwirkung (Strahlungshitze) von Fassadenöffnung zu Fassadenöffnung bzw. von Bauteil zu Bauteil. Ein Brandüberschlag kann sowohl in horizontaler Richtung (bei gegenüberliegenden oder im Winkel zueinanderstehenden Gebäuden und Bauteilen) als auch in vertikaler Richtung, von Geschoss zu Geschoss (Fassadenöffnungen) erfolgen. Durch Windeinwirkung oder die im Brandfall entstehende Thermik der Rauch- und Brandgase kann ein Übergreifen der Flammen, also Brandüberschlag, begünstigt werden.

Maßnahmen gegen Brandüberschlag
Grundsätzlich gibt es gegen den Brandüberschlag drei Hauptmaßnahmen:
 Brandbeständige Ausführung der brandabschnittsumfassenden bautechnischen Einrichtungen wie Wände, Fenster, Türen usw.
 Einhaltung von Mindestabständen zu anderen entzündbaren Bauteilen
 Installation von Löschschleiern an den brandabschnittsumfassenden bautechnischen Einrichtungen

Mindestabstände
Um im Falle eines Brandes einen Brandüberschlag zu verhindern, sind Mindestabstände zu anderen entzündbaren Materialien einzuhalten. Diese sind in verschiedenen Gesetzen und Bauordnungen unterschiedlich geregelt und definieren sich zumeist wie folgt:

 Vertikaler Brandüberschlag: 1,5 Meter
 Horizontaler gegenüberliegender Brandüberschlag: 5 Meter
 Horizontaler paralleler Brandüberschlag: 1 Meter

Weitere genaue Regelungen für Österreich finden sich in den TRVBs (Technische Richtlinien Vorbeugender Brandschutz).

Simulation eines Brandüberschlages
In speziellen Prüflabors mit hohen Räumen können auch Brandüberschläge bei Original-Fassadenteilen über mehrere Geschosse simuliert werden. Somit ist es möglich, neuartige Materialien und Bauweisen unter realistischen Bedingungen auf die Einhaltung der Brandschutzvorschriften zu prüfen.

WWR Article Summary (tl;dr) As Nina Metz reports, "A majority of writers hired at all levels have been, and continue to be, abled, straight, cisgender, white and male. Which is why, last fall, Amanda Idoko launched the #ShowUsYourRoomChallenge hashtag, encouraging showrunners to post group photos of their writing staff on social media."
But in television, that position is almost always held by a writer, aka the showrunner.
A quick primer on how it works: Showrunners are the key decision-makers on a series, from casting to determining a season's narrative arc to hiring a writers room to help build out and script each episode.
When it comes to TV writing, there are various job titles, "staff writer" being the entry-level designation and even that doesn't guarantee the opportunity to actually write an episode or have your name listed in the show's end credits.
Writers who advance get better titles (executive story editor, producer, etc.) and also better wages. At the executive producer/showrunner level, compensation might also include "points," meaning: A certain percentage of the show's profits.
If a show runs for several years, that can translate into millions.
Only a small number of Hollywood writers get their shot at creating their own series for a network or streaming service, and you can see how simply getting your foot in the door is an essential first step.
That's one very good reason why it matters that the majority of writers hired at all levels have been, and continue to be, abled, straight, cisgender, white and male.
Right now we're in the midst of staffing season, which is when network TV pilots assemble their writers rooms.
Describing this yearly hiring frenzy for the trade publication Script Magazine, Eric Haywood (whose credits include "Soul Food" and "Empire") called it a "mad dash of agents and managers trying to book meetings for their clients, and the writers themselves doing their level best to make a good impression on everyone they meet, in the hopes of securing one of those coveted positions."
Which is why, last fall, Amanda Idoko launched the #ShowUsYourRoomChallenge hashtag, encouraging showrunners to post group photos of their writing staff on social media.
At the time, she was writing for the forthcoming animated Apple series "Central Park."
Her film script for "Breaking News in Yuba County," starring Allison Janney and Laura Dern, starts shooting this year.
I was curious what results the hashtag had generated over the last six months. Here's what she told me. "Only 52 rooms participated in the Show Us Your Room Challenge. There are over 500 scripted shows on TV, so only one-tenth of TV writers rooms were proud to share a photo of their staff in support of diversity and inclusion. That's shameful. I also want to point out that 75 percent of the rooms that participated in the challenge are run or co-run by women or people of color. If this industry actually wants to improve its terrible diversity numbers, studios should hire more women and POC showrunners, because women and POC are clearly the ones hiring diverse staffs."
According to the report, titled "Behind the Scenes: The State of Inclusion and Equity in TV Writing," diverse writers, defined here as working Hollywood writers who identify as women or non-binary, LGBTQ, people of color and people with disabilities, are "routinely isolated within writers rooms, often relegated to lower levels where writers possess little agency or power to contribute."
We saw concerns raised about just this issue when allegations recently surfaced about the Showtime series "SMILF," created by and starring Frankie Shaw, who is also the showrunner. According to The Hollywood Reporter: "Several sources say writers of color were put in different rooms from Caucasian writers and felt that their ideas were exploited without pay or credit."
Back to the report. Another finding concerns the so-called "diversity hire," which is a staff writing position specifically ear-marked for a non-white writer and it doesn't come out of the showrunner's budget, because the studio or TV network pays for that person's salary.
It's always an entry-level position (staff writer) and it's always at the lowest pay grade.
Here's what the report found: "While the studio and network practice of financially incentivizing diverse writer hires does help diverse writers get their foot in the door, it typically does not result in writers advancing. Once diverse writers are in the pipeline, a vast majority find their path to advancement blocked."
"If a showrunner wants to promote a writer out of the diversity hire slot, that writer's salary will be now be coming out of the show's budget, rather than a separate network stipend, and pulling funds away from other aspects of production."
The "Behind the Scenes" report determined that "unless diverse writers come at a discount, they're not given the chance."
And it inevitably "creates the perception that diverse candidates are somehow lesser/would not be employable in a 'free market.'"
There's also a weird stigma that comes with the diversity hire position, that writers in those jobs are less worthy or talented.
Tanya Saracho, the one-time Chicago playwright who is the creator and showrunner of the Starz series "Vida," returning for a second season later this year, explored this tension in her 2017 play "Fade."
"He says, 'You're only here because you're a Hispanic. It's great, you don't have to try too hard, you're only here to meet the quota.'"
Similar stories show up in the "Behind the Scenes" report, which is a fascinating read particularly for its anonymous anecdotes, which are blunt and to the point.
As a diversity hire, one person noted, "You become part of the writing staff but you're not included. They leave you out, they have no incentive. You're not given a voice. So, when it's time to re-up, they're not going to bring you back on as someone that they pay. They don't know who you are. You haven't been allowed to speak."
ShowUsYourRoom's Idoko echoed these sentiments.
"There's definitely an implicit bias in the system," she told me. "There are shows that have a revolving door diversity slot, they hire a new diverse writer from one of the diversity programs every year, immediately let them go as soon as they are no longer free, and repeat.
Instead of actually investing in the diverse writers they hire, these shows cycle diverse writers, usually POC, in and out, with no intention of actually promoting them, slowing down the advancement of their careers. It's a disgusting abuse of a system that was put in place to promote diversity, and it needs to stop."

IRAN - Nasrin Sotoudeh has been returned to prison even if she is still contagious
05 December 2020 :
Nasrin Sotoudeh has been returned to prison on the judiciary's orders despite the state medical examiner's advice that she is still contagious after contracting COVID-19 and would require another two weeks for treatment. Before returning to prison, Nasrin called the public's attention to the imminent execution of Ahmadreza Djalali.
According to Iran Human Rights, Nasrin Sotoudeh, a prominent human rights activist and lawyer, returned to Qarchak Prison on the judicial officials' orders on 2 December 2020.
Speaking to IHR, Reza Khandan, Nasrin's husband said: "The day before yesterday, the state medical examiner's office held a medical commission meeting to examine Nasrin's current condition. In addition to a cardiologist, the doctors present to examine Nasrin's COVID-19, opined that she would be contagious for another two weeks, and she would only be able to leave her room or home with a mask on after that period. We were also under the impression that the furlough would be extended for another fortnight. We also thought her previous furlough wasn't due to end until Saturday, December 5. But today, they unexpectedly called from the prosecutor's office and asked her to return. They would not listen to anything we had to say and said that we are the ones that should extend her furlough, which we are not doing. Of course, the orders came from the top."
Parastou Forouhar (artist and daughter of assassinated politician and activists, Dariush and Parvaneh Forouhar) tweeted a message from Nasrin before her return to prison, expressing concern for Ahmadreza Djalali, which she drew.
"Dear friends and human rights activists,
They told me to return to prison and I will return to prison today. The place where I had left hundreds of my cellmates to come here. Where I left my heart. It is always this way, under the circumstances, I don't want to talk about how I was unable to hug my children in the past three weeks due to coronavirus. But I feel it is my duty to express my concern on the situation of Ahmadreza Djalali and ask those who can muster support, to pay attention to his case. Free Ahmadreza Djalali, today.
Nasrin Sotoudeh, 3/12/2020"
Nasrin Sotoudeh is a lawyer and human rights activist who has represented many human rights activists, women's rights activists, victims of child abuse and juvenile defenders on death row. She was previously jailed from August 2010 to September 2013 for her professional and human rights activities.
She was arrested again on 13 June 2018 and sentenced to five years in prison in absentia on the charge of "concealing a spy." In a separate case of seven different charges, she was sentenced to 148 lashes and 33 years in prison by Branch 28 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court presided over by Judge Moghiseh. One of the charges against her was "membership in an illegal group", referring to Legam, the step by step campaign to abolish the death penalty. Given the high number of charges against her, it is unclear how much of the sentence she will have to serve.

Q: How do I block Internet access for a user on a Windows 7 Professional machine? I'm setting up a Windows 7 machine in our warehouse and I don't want the users to have internet access from this machine.  They users still need access to the LAN to do their jobs.
Does anyone know how to achieve this? (preferably without any third party software).

A: Block the machine in your firewall/router and/or put it on a network with no internet route and/or put it on a separate network that is blocked in your firewall/router.
If your LAN consists of more than one network it will still need a gateway set to reach those.
What level of security do you need and do the users have physical access to the computer's ports while using it?

A: To keep this easy (without messing with router or other tasks):

*

*Remove gateway from desired pc TCP/IP configuration

*Modify user permission to standard user (so he/she can't modify TCP/IP settings to insert correct gateway)

Profit :)

A: just set a static IP on these machines and remove the gateway and/or DNS

UHEC Archives open Transcarpathia collections
The UHEC archives has opened three collections related to the Ukrainian Transcarpathian region (or Zakarpats'ka oblast'): the Vikentii Shandor, Avhustyn Shtefan, and Volodymyr Komaryns'kyi papers. Together, they provide important information regarding the 20th century history of Transcarpathia, Carpatho-Ukraine, and the activities of Transcarpathians in the United States. The processing of these collections was motivated in part by researcher interest surrounding this year's 80th anniversary of the declaration of Carpatho-Ukrainian independence.
Transcarpathia has had an extraordinarily complex history, even by Ukrainian standards. Bordering Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania, its inhabitants have included Ukrainians, Ruthenians (or Rusyns) of both Ukrainophile and Russophile orientation, Carpatho-Rusyns who consider themselves to be neither Ukrainian nor Russian, Hungarians, Slovaks, and other ethnic groups. It was part of the Kingdom of Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian period, became part of Czechoslovakia after World War I, obtained autonomous status as "Carpatho-Ukraine" in 1938, and declared independence on March 15, 1939, only to be invaded and annexed by Hungary one day later. It was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR after World War II, and today is the westernmost oblast' of Ukraine.
The three newly-opened collections and their creators reflect this complexity. Avhustyn Shtefan's family embodies the cultural divergences of the region: his father was the noted Greek Catholic priest and Ukrainophile activist Omelian Shtefan, but his maternal grandfather Fr. Evhenii Fentsyk (while also being a Greek Catholic priest) was a well-known and resolutely Russophile writer. The linguistic complexity is reflected in the actual documents of the collections, which are mostly in Ukrainian, but also include significant amounts of Slovak, Hungarian, German, and other languages.
The collections include descriptions of events in Carpatho-Ukraine, as well as unpublished records and correspondence. The Komaryns'kyi papers, for example, have extensive first-hand accounts of the beginnings of the Plast Ukrainian scouting movement in Transcarpathia. The Shtefan papers contain not only his own records, but those of his father, as well as family records and genealogical information going back to the mid-19th century. The collections also include extremely rare photographs of people and events in the region, including a possibly one-of-a-kind 1893 photograph of the 19-year-old future Carpatho-Ukrainian president Fr. Avhustyn Voloshyn with his family. Some of these images have already been used in an exhibition on Carpatho-Ukraine by the Ukrainian Insitute of National Remembrance.
A historical researcher specializing in Transcarpathia who has already made use of these materials believes that their contents has the potential to rewrite some parts of the historical narrative as it is currently accepted by Ukrainian historians of the region.
The collections are open for use by appointment. Please contact archives@UkrHEC.org for more information and to make arrangements.

Q: XMPP and custom Openfire with static IP I have installed openfire server on my computer (name: duong2179-pc, static public IP: 20x.25x.xxx.xxx). I also installed Spark and registered 2 accounts: test1 and test2. I developed a small Desktop Java application using Smack.
I loged in test1 on Spark and test2 on my application, both accounts in following format: test@20x.25x.xxx.xxx, then I got troubles: test1 (on Spark) can send message to test2 (the Java application) but test2 cannot send back. Here is the origin of the problem:
sendMessage(message, "test1@20x.25x.xxx.xxx);

I tried to change a little bit, such as
sendMessage(message, "test1@duong2179-pc");

then it worked well.
So what is the different point here?
Please notice that, when I loged in Spark I used server as 20x.25x.xxx.xxx not duong2179-pc

A: When you send an xmpp message, the JID (Jabber ID) of the receiver is made up of three parts,
the user info (test1), the xmpp domain (duong2179-pc) and an optional resource.
user@xmpp.domain/resource

This domain, IS NOT, the hosts address, it is the xmpp domain as configured on your server.
It just so happens that the default domain when you install openfire, is the hostname of the machine that it is installed on.  Thus the xmpp domain and the hostname just happen to be the same, which is why the second case worked, but not the first.
If you open the admin console on your server and change the domain name to something else, neither of the sample lines will work.

Addison's disease or primary adrenocortical deficiency results from destruction of the adrenal cortex. Glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid and sex steroid production are all reduced.
It is a rare condition with a prevalence of 93-140 per million people and an annual incidence of 4.7-6.2 per million people in Western populations (1).
in UK Addison's disease affects around 1 in 10,000 individuals with an estimate of around 8400 currently diagnosed cases (2)
according to a recent epidemiological study the incidence of Addison's disease is on the rise (1)
may occur at any age but commonly seen between the ages of 30-50 years (2)
women are affected more than men (3)
Autoimmune adrenalitis accounts increasingly for the condition as tuberculosis has become less common.
The disease may remain subclinical for a long period of time (4).
Notes (5):
primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency share many clinical features - however, they differ in that only primary adrenal insufficiency is characterized by mineralocorticoid deficiency and by hyperpigmentation

Campaign Expenditures: Hearings, Eighty-second Congress, Second Session ...
By United States. Congress. House Special Committee to Investigate Campaign Expenditure
Mr. WILLIAMS. I do not know the answer to that. I came in after the organization had been going, and I know nothing about the matter before that.
Mr. McCULLOCH. Do you know whether or not a report was made in any State, pursuant to State law, of the receipts and disbursements of the Citizens for Eisenhower, prior to the convention?
Mr. WILLIAMS. I cannot answer that; I do not know.
Mr. McCULLOCH. Do you have an opinion as to whether or not that committee in the future should be required, by Federal law, to make a report to some Federal agency of receipts and disbursements?
Mr. WILLIAMS. I see no objection to it.
Mr. McCULLOCH. Do you think it would be in the public interest?
Mr. WILLIAMS. I think possibly it might be. I think it goes back to my previous statement, that we were pretty busy trying to get this man elected and not trying to be technical, and we have not had occasion to think too much about that question.
I think that a far greater value in an answer, than just a curbstone opinion of my own, would be again to come back for consideration of that question and other subjects after an opportunity has been had to study the matters. But just as an offhand opinion, I think that possibly the public interest would be served by having such a report.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Williams. We appreciate your coming.
Mr. WILLIAMS. Thank you.
STATEMENT OF JAMES K. POLLOCK, PROFESSOR, POLITICAL
SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
The CHAIRMAN. We have one further witness, Professor Pollock of the University of Michigan. Will you kindly state your name and occupation, for the benefit of the record ?
Dr. POLLOCK. James K. Pollock, professor of political science at the University of Michigan.
The CHAIRMAN. We will be very glad to hear you.
Dr. POLLOCK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee.
I am glad to be of any possible assistance to this committee in its effort to bring improvements in the important field of campaign expenditures. Although you did not give me very much time for reflection, I was able over the week end to look over rather hurriedly the several shelves of material which I have collected over the last 30 years on the subject of campaign expenditures.
Ånd in focusing my mind once more on this great problem, I am still convinced that it is one of the great unsolved problems of democracy.
Interestingly enough, I have found in looking over the books I wrote on the subject some 20 years ago, and in my previous testimony before senatorial and congressional committees during these intervening years, that the situation has not changed very much, nor have we made very much progress in improving our legislation either at the Federal level or at the State level. We have, however, had numerous investigating committees in the House and in the Senate, and I have looked over and studied all of these reports at one time or another for the past 30 years. Discouragingly enough, one finds in these
reports of investigating committees a constant repetition of many of the same ideas and recommendations, arrived at by various committees at various times, and then never acted upon by Congress.
Today, therefore, at the conclusion of another of our great presidential campaigns, the Congress of the United States has at least as great an obligation as it has had at any time during the past 25 years to place this subject of the regulation of campaign expenditures in a favorite position, where the Congress will be able to provide another landmark of constructive legislation.
I have tried to be rather philosophical about legislation as a professor of political science, as one has to be. One has to have a sort of geographical sense of time, that with the passage of time, certain things that have been obvious over a long period will eventually be generally recognized.
I feel that it is not merely or principally a question of what to do. Feasible remedies and improvements in the law have been proposed for 25 years. The question is-is Congress interested? Can it find the time to do something effective in a field which affects the very foundation of clean politics. After all these years I should think Congress would feel a little contrite about its long period of inaction.
Without being informed too much of the purpose of your committee, and being quite aware of the lateness of the hour, and the imminence of a new. Congress, I am not sure how much your committee will be able to do by investigating de novo important aspects of the field which have engaged the attention of previous committees. In any case, however, I am glad now, as I have always been for many years, to assist this committee, or any other committee of the Congress, in trying to bring improvement in what is obviously a very deplorable and even dangerous situation in our great democracy.
One of the best records in this field was made in 1931 by a senatorial committee headed by Senator Nye. This testimony on remedial legislation is still available and bears rereading. Between that time and 1950, there were several other committees in both the House and the Senate which took up the matter of improving the laws regulating campaign funds, and in these various reports are found important recommendations, most of which have never been given legislative enactment. I find that in 1950, a committee of this House, headed by Congressman Mike Mansfield, prepared a report which is something of an model, at least so far as its committee recommendations are concerned. In fact, these recommendations are so good and so complete and have been made so recently that I think this committee would do well to adopt most of them in the report which you, I assume, intend to prepare. At any rate, I am prepared to endorse these recommendations found
Ι on pages 21 to 26 of the Mansfield report, with the possible exception of points 8 and 13, and with the addition of certain other observations, which I am prepared to make, if the committee is interested.
It would perhaps, therefore, save the committee's time if they per, mitted me to endorse the carefully worded and significant recommendations presented to this House by the Mansfield committee 2 years ago. I find in searching my thoughts on the subject today in our present setting, I still feel that the most important point requiring attention is the fixing of responsibility for political campaign expenditures.
Furthermore, I still believe, as I have testified on many occasions over the years, the second most important point is to provide adequate publicity of campaign expenditures. Third, I think close attention must be given to a provision for more effective enforcement of all the laws regulating campaign expenditures.
Under these general points, I am prepared to answer specific questions, if the members of the committee so desire. I think that the situation to day is more urgency to consideration of the suggestion frequently made over the years, either to democratize our party campaign funds or to bring about assistance by the State in defraying the very large and legitimate costs of campaigning.
Finaly, there are many aspects of our whole election system which might be given careful and thorough consideration, because of their bearing upon the proper functioning of our democratic system.
Presumbaly, this committee cannot go into such a broad field, but I would at least hope that as a result of your labors, you will be able once more to point out for the benefit of the Congress and the public the principal points requiring legislative attention. With these brief introductory remarks, then, I am pleased to entertain any questions in this field which the members of the committee desire to direct to me.
The CHAIRMAN. Dr. Pollock, we thank you very much. Any questions, Mr. Keating?
Mr. KEATING. No.
The CHAIRMAN. Mr. McCulloch?
Mr. McCULLOCH. No.
The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Long!
Mr. Long. Dr. Pollock, this is the most important point in this field, you feel, the necessity of fixing the responsibility for political expenditures. Have you given any attention to the question how, as a practical matter, that might be accomplished ?
Dr. POLLOCK. Yes. We have had a great many changes over the years, one of which is pointed out in the Mansfield committee report, which indicates that indiscriminate spending should not be permitted, and that each candidate or party should designate an agency whose authorization must be given to make expenditures in behalf of the candidate or party.
This, of course, is taken from the very effective and well-known British Corrupt Practices Act. In that country they have a much simpler situation, of course, but it has worked effectively. Britain in the seventies or eighties had a rather scandalous situation whereby all kinds of expenditures were made by all kinds of people, some of which were all right, and some of which were not, and to remedy that situation, this British act was passed.
I have dealt with that in my book called Money and Politics Abroad. That remedy has been effective and the British are entirely satisfied. From my observation of British elections in 1950 and in 1951, contrasted with American elections, the difference is very considerable. First of all, there is a much lower level of expenditures. And you find that the candidates and party agencies are very scrupulous in observing the limits set out in the law, and the result is that the indiscriminate use of money in British elections has simply disappeared under this effective law.
Mr. Long. Such a system would necessarily entail making it a violation of the law for any individual or political party agency to
expend money without the written authorization of the candidate or the authorized agent.
Dr. POLLOCK. Yes. And I should like to point out what you can do by Federal law would be to put a limitation on the amount, with companion legislation in the States, because obviously a very considerable field of political expenditure is outside Federal jurisdiction.
The CHAIRMAN. Some of the States do not even have corrupt practices acts.
Dr. POLLOCK. Yes; and in many others the statutes are not worth the paper they are written on. Most of them are utterly ineffective. I think over the years there has been, maybe, some general improvement in the tone, but I think generally they are ineffective.
Mr. KEATING. With respect to obeying them?
Dr. POLLOCK. Obeying them on the part of parties. On some of the aspects I wrote in 1926, and I think I can say that the situation is true today. I said:
In the first place, study has made it clear that the Federal laws regulating the subject of party financing are innocuous and of little value. Even the amendment in the consolidated laws of 1925 omitted the essential features of a good regulatory statute, and worst of all, it reaches only general elections, leaving the important field of a primary to the various States. Although the law is primarily a publicity law, it actually achieves little or no publicity in the matter of campaign receipts and expenditures.
Further, it is obvious that a vast amount of corrupt practices legislation in the States has resulted in eliminating the worst forms of political corruption, but that the publicity of campaign funds has not been brought about. These State laws are frequently brazenly violated and in many cases they contain provisions which are worse than dead-letter, because they encourage perjury. It has demonstrated that large sums are spent in elections, and that they have grown in recent years, but the increase with respect to former years is not dangerous, nor is it unjustifiable.
I wrote that in 1926, found at page 260 in my book, and I think that still applies today.
I might raise a little question about that last sentence, about the growth of expenditures. I personally do not feel that the size of the campaign expenditure is the matter of very grave concern. It is not the amount of the contribution, I mean it is not the amount of the expenditure that bothers me so much as where it comes from and what it goes for.
Those things, it seems to me, should be the subject of legislation rather than trying to limit in some unrealistic way the exact amount that could be expended by a candidate or the party.
The CHAIRMAN. What are some of the evils as to where the money comes from and what it goes for; what are some of the evils you have in mind ?
Dr. POLLOCK. I think from the point of view of sound public policy, as well as the reputation of the party and the candidate, it is bad to permit large contributions from a few sources.
I think it is bad to permit expenditure for exclusive employment of campaign workers.
I think those are two of the illustrations that I have in mind. We had back in the twenties the employment of something like 10,000 watchers in Pittsburgh in the Bear primary. I think the whole tendency of legislation should be toward making political workers voluntary. I think this last campaign has shown very real increase in the amount of voluntary workers, and I think that is commendable.
Also, an increase in the number of contributions rather than in size of individual contributions.
I am rather dubious about how far you should go in actually prohibiting some of those things. If my theory is correct that by proper publicity the people will take the corrective measures, if that theory is correct, then I think the smallest number of regulations of this sort you have the better. At least that is the way on which I have proceeded in my thinking.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much, Dr. Pollock.
Dr. POLLOCK. I would conclude with one further statement for the record, if I may, because I think the situation has not changed too much.
First, I think we have passed the first reading which consists of much investigation and reports.
I think we have passed also the second reading of talking and discussion. I think we are now ready for the third reading and the final passage of something to regulate this vast and important matter, not to produce a lot of regulations, but to really cooperate in coping with this problem of financing political parties. And as I say, we have, I think, now reached the third reading and final passage stage.
The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. The committee will stand adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
(At 1:05 p. m., an adjournment was taken until 10 a. m. of the following day, Thursday, December 4, 1952.)

Kerala gets an official fruit – jackfruit
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After the state animal, bird, flower and fish, the jackfruit was today declared as Kerala's official fruit.
An official announcement on giving the largest tree borne fruit that is known for its distinctive taste and aroma the pride of place was made by Agriculture minister V S Sunil Kumar in the state assembly. The decision was taken based on a proposal of the state Agriculture Department.
The aim is to promote the 'Kerala jackfruit' as a brand in markets across the country and abroad, showcasing its organic and nutritious qualities, he said.
This would also help in giving a boost to the fruit's production and sale, besides increasing its value-added products.
Each year around 320 million jackfruit is produced in the state, of which 30 per cent goes waste, according to available statistics.
A total revenue of Rs 15,000 crore is expected through the sale of jackfruit and its related products through branding of the fruit, Kumar said.
The 'Kerala jackfruit' is more organic and tasty as it is produced in a very natural way without using any chemical fertilisers or pesticides, the minister said.
There are also plans to distribute maximum jackfruit saplings among the public to grow it in their backyards as part of plans to expand the cultivation, he said.
The agricultural office in Ambalavayil in Wayanad will be used as a research station for jackfruit.
Elephant is the state animal of Kerala, while 'great hornbill' the bird and 'kanikkonna' the official flower.
The state had recently declared pearl spot, popularly known as 'karimeen', as its official fish.
The government also conducts 'jackfruit fest' every year to popularise the fruit and its products among public.
"Besides the taste and nutritious quality, the timber value of jackfruit tree is also high. Compared to many other trees, it plays a great role in fighting greenhouse gases," Kumar had earlier said.

Anne Larsen Andersen was born May 20, 1814, in Shuldelev Parish in Denmark. Her husband, Peter Andersen, was born in Draaby Parish, Frederiksborg Amt., January 6, 1807. They were married December 12, 1840, and made their home on a Danish estate northwest of Frederiksborg in a forest known as Jaegers Pries (Hunter's Paradise). For generations the Andersen ancestors had lived there as caretakers for the Danish royalty. Peter Andersen had often been a fishing and hunting companion of Crown Prince Fredrick VII, who later became King of Denmark.
Anne, too, had been closely connected with the royal family as maid to Grevenda Danner, who was Louise Rasmussen, a woman possessed of high attainments and very sympathetic of the king's subjects which won for her the admiration of the citizens. Thus Anne and her friend Louise became sincere companions, and their visits were frequent and without formality.
It was King Fredrick VII who gave land title to the common people of Denmark, and his remembrance of Peter and Anne was such that a large tract of land was given to them in Skoven. Here the following children were born to them: Anders, Hans, Peter, Rasmus, Morton, who died in infancy, Kristen Marie, later called Christena, and James. Anne and Peter entertained lavishly; rich and poor were their guests. In the fall of 1859 a harvest festival of one week's duration was held at their home. Peter died the last day of the festivities, probably of a heart attack. It was a severe shock to the family, and even though friends extended love and kindness, Anne received greater solace and strength through prayer.
A few months after the death of the father, the family became acquainted with missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who taught them the principles of the Gospel. Peter, the third son, was the first to be baptized, followed by all of the other members of the family. Soon they prepared to leave Denmark, at which time the mother was fifty-one years of age; Anders was twenty-three; Hans, twenty-two; Peter, twenty-one; Rasmus, nineteen; Kristen Marie, seventeen and James, twelve. After disposing of their property, they made arrangements to emigrate to America to join the Saints in Great Salt Lake City.
It was not easy for Anne to leave her friends who urged her to remain in Denmark, but a desire to live a more spiritual life, and a faith that in a new land would come a rich unfoldment of spirituality and material blessings, had taken root in her soul. Grevenda Danner and members of the royal family pleaded with the Andersens to remain in Denmark, giving assurance that they would not want for the necessities of life, but Anne was determined to carry out her desires. Bidding goodby to their friends and associates, they departed from Denmark with royal, but reluctant, good wishes. Anne paid for the emigration of twenty other converts; Peter Anton Nelson was the only person to repay her. Sailing for America May 4, 1865, on the B. S. Kimball in company with other converts from Sweden and Denmark, they traveled by way of Hamburg, Germany, where young Peter was quarantined for smallpox. He was placed in a hospital and Anne was promised by the elders of the Church there that her son would recover and meet her in the land of their destination. It was eight months before she heard from him, and one year before he joined the family in Utah.
After a long and tedious voyage in which three adults and twenty-five children died and were buried in the ocean, the ship docked safely in the New York harbor June 14th. From New York the company traveled by rail in cattle cars to Quincy, Illinois, where they crossed the Mississippi River and rested two days. Going then to St. Joseph, Missouri, they arrived June 23rd, and on June 25th started by steamboat up the Missouri River, reaching Council Bluffs June 26th. Here the company stopped five weeks to prepare for the long journey of 1,000 miles across the plains.
They had never been accustomed to handling oxen, and as they began the long trek the boys experienced trouble in learning the art of driving them. The company consisted of sixty wagons with three yoke of oxen to each wagon, 720 people with Miner G. Atwood as captain. They were advised to buy provisions for ten weeks, but their journey totaled fifteen. Ten miles northeast of Ft. Laramie they were attacked by Indians and thirteen men and one woman were wounded.
At Fort Bridger, Anne bought fifty pounds of flour using the last fifty dollars of the small fortune she possessed after selling her property in Denmark. As provisions were running low in the company, the captain called upon her to divide her flour with the entire company. For her family of six children and herself the captain allowed her to keep only ten pounds. She owned a cow which gave milk. This also was divided among the sick and afflicted. After a week's travel from Fort Laramie, the company was met by Saints from Great Salt Lake City traveling in mule-drawn wagons loaded with flour. Rejoicing and thanksgiving was felt by all as their hunger was alleviated and they received the assurance that food in sufficient amounts had been provided for the remainder of the trip. Their long journey was soon completed and the hardships and dangers endured were over. They reached Salt Lake City November 8, 1865, where president Brigham Young and W. W. Riter were waiting to shake their hands and greet them.
Four days later, Anne and her family left for Brigham City. On the way one of the oxen gave out and was left by the wayside; the cow was yoked with the remaining ox to complete the journey. The next spring Hans returned for the oxen, finding it within a short distance from where it had been left.
In Brigham City they accepted the hospitality of Christian Hansen until spring. On April 10, 1866, they started north and crossed Bear River at Boise Bend [Hampton's Ford ?]. That night Anne became very despondent. She saw the Bear River Valley sunbaked and covered with sage, and wept bitterly. She thought of her home and her royal friends in Denmark, and of the comforts of the life she had left forever. The place where they crossed the river was called Boise Bend Ford. Here a marker has since been placed. From there they traveled on to the Malad River where a dam was being constructed to bring water onto the land for irrigation purposes. At that place they stopped, and in due time plowed and planted about twenty acres of wheat. In July the Indians became troublesome and the Andersens, along with other settlers, were advised to move back to Brigham City. In September they returned to the Bear River and built a dugout in the bank of the river where Bear River City now stands. After they were located in their dugout, the boys went to look at the grain they had planted in the spring, and which had not been irrigated. To their surprise there were ripe heads of wheat, and they harvested a crop. That was the beginning of dryland farming in the west. Anne Andersen was short in stature and stout in form, with a dark complexion. It was easily observed that in her youth she had been a beautiful girl. She was blessed with a very even temperament and was of an optimistic disposition. She had the rare quality of leadership, and a magnetism which held her family together in close relationship throughout her life. Though some of her sons were grown, every undertaking concerning the family was carefully planned under her supervision. She was retiring in nature and did not seek public recognition. One of her grandsons who remembers her, said that her countenance portrayed benevolence. Tender toward children, she always managed to have a few cookies or a little rock candy in a jar, and no child ever left her house without first being treated to some of her goodies.


Heavy is the head who wears The Crown, especially as humiliating rumors swirl 'round Queen Elizabeth II in a teaser video for Season 2 of Netflix's royal drama.
Returning on Friday, Dec. 8 (in all territories where Netflix is available), The Crown recalls the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (played by Golden Globe/SAG Award winner and Emmy nominee Claire Foy) as the fragile social order established after World War II breaks apart.
Season 2 — beginning with soldiers in Her Majesty's Armed Forces fighting an illegal war in Egypt, and ending with the downfall of her third Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan after a devastating scandal — bears witness to the end of the age of deference, and ushers in the revolutionary era of the 1960s.
The teaser above allows a glimpse of some new cast for the series' sophomore run, including Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Jodi Balfour (Bomb Girls) as John F. and Jackie Kennedy.

CBeebies comedy duo Andy and Mike talk about their Tick Tock Time Machine
Nicola Meighan
Comedy duo swap CBeebies for time travel
'If you mix Back to the Future with The Mighty Boosh and Goonies, you get a glimpse of where we wanted to go,' says CBeebies presenter Andy Day, co-star of Andy and Mike's Tick Tock Time Machine. The follow-up to 2009's Box of Bananas, this new show was created by Day and long-term comedy partner, Mike James in tandem with Finger Mouse legend Iain Lauchlan.
'We have plenty of interaction throughout, with references to some of our favourite films, and songs to boot,' says Day, a man whose broad-grinned madcap humour appeals to little and big kids alike. 'We hope to take you on a mind-blowing adventure through time! You must be prepared to join in and make noise, and we promise that we won't sit down.'
Day offers more clues as to Tick Tock Time Machine's pop lineage: 'We love music, especially musical theatre. Mike would hate me to tell you this, but he loves Disney films and Justin Bieber. Oh, and of course we love Bill & Ted,' he says. 'We felt we should try and create a modern version onstage. We really hope the kids and parents love it as much as we've loved creating it.' It sounds like a most excellent adventure.
Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, 4–19 Aug, 11am, £9–£9.50 (£8–£9). Previews until 3 Aug, £6.

Q: how to add a video into html I want to add a video into my html code and it should be accessible at least from IE ,firfox and chrome browsers.
The extension of the video is .vob
I have used this code
<object data="../Video/VTS_01_1.vob" height="200" width="200"></object>

But I can't see nothing on the screen juste a square with 200 height and 200 width

A: *

*Use the <video> element

*Use a file format supported by browsers. VOB is not such a format. MP4 and WebM are good choices for different browsers, you should use both

*Consider using a library that provides Flash et al fallbacks for old browsers. Examples include video.js and video for everybody

A: Sample Code:
<video width="640" height="360" src="/demo/google_main.mp4?2" autobuffer>

................

</video>

wrapped up the same old <object> and <embed> tags with the new  tag .

Prostate cancer patients who have disease recurrence following radical prostatectomy should undergo imaging scans using the imaging agent 68Ga-PSMA-11 to guide their salvage radiotherapy, a new study suggests. The study, by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles shows that the imaging procedure effectively detects the location of recurrence at an early stage. In 19 percent of patients, the scans identified lesions that wouldn't otherwise be covered by the radiation fields. The study, "68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT Mapping of Prostate Cancer Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy in 270 Patients with a PSA Level of Less Than 1.0 ng/mL: Impact on Salvage Radiotherapy Planning," was published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In practice, volume delineations for prostate cancer salvage radiotherapy (SRT) after radical prostatectomy are normally drawn in the absence of radiographically visible disease. In the absence of visual clues, clinicians delineate a consensus clinical target volume in the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes (areas with potential occult tumor) according to the guidelines of The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) — a panel of experienced genitourinary radiation oncologists.

Q: how can I rest all my customized index at 11pm sharply how can I rest all my customized index at 11pm sharply?
below code is not working for me.
my sample
A = B + C
D = A[0] + A[1] + A[2]
rest_bar = timestamp(year, month, dayofmonth, 23, 0, 0)
if rest_bar
    A == 0
    D == 0

A: With a mutable variable
and rest_bar must be different from its previous value
Something like that
//<set initial values>
A = 0

B = 1
C = 1
A := B + C
D = A[0] + A[1] + A[2]
rest_bar = timestamp(year, month, dayofmonth, 23, 0, 0)
if rest_bar != rest_bar[1]
    A := 0
    D := 0
