Israeli court ruling on citizenship 'racist'

Rights groups slam supreme court ruling upholding law banning Palestinians married to Israelis from getting citizenship.

    The ruling splits families by preventing Palestinians from obtaining Israeli citizenship through marriage [Reuters]

    Israel's Supreme Court has upheld a controversial law that bans most Palestinians who marry Israelis from obtaining either citizenship or residency in the country.

    In a six-five ruling, the court agreed that Palestinians who gain Israeli citizenship through marriage pose a security threat.

    Parliament passed the law in 2003, at the height of the second Palestinian uprising, a time when fighters from the West Bank frequently entered Israel to carry out deadly attacks.

    The law is believed to have prevented thousands of Palestinians from living with their spouses.

    Civil rights groups had argued that Israel's Basic Laws, the country's de facto constitution, grant all citizens the right to family life. They also say that few Palestinian spouses of Israelis have ever been involved in violence.

    "It is a dark day for the protection of human rights and for the Israeli Supreme Court," lawyers Dan Yakir and Oded Feller, from the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) said in a statement.

    ACRI was one of three rights groups that had appealed to the Supreme Court over the law.

    'Splitting families'

    The 2003 law bans granting citizenship or residency to Palestinian spouses of Israelis, but allows for certain exemptions for people who are not believed to pose security risks, including Palestinian men older than 35 and women older than 25.

    Last year, only 33 out of 3,000 applications for exemptions were approved, said lawyer Sawsan Zaher, who filed a challenge to the law on behalf of the Adalah Arab rights advocacy group.

    She accused the government of interfering in the personal lives of its citizens.

    "The court has failed in its main role, which is defending the rights of the minority," Zaher said.

    Al Jazeera speaks to Hassan Jabareen from the Adalah Arab rights advocacy group about the ruling

    Adalah condemned the ruling, with its lawyers Hassan Jabareen and Zaher saying the law "has no parallel in any democratic country in the world".

    Jabareen told Al Jazeera that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent for racial hatred against Palestinians.

    "The dangers of this decision are that it may legitimise many racist laws against Arabs living in Israel," he said.

    "Furthermore, we are speaking about splitting families," he said.

    The petitioners said the law violated the right of Palestinians married to Arab Israelis to a family life, but in a late-night ruling, the Supreme Court said human rights could not override security concerns.

    "Human rights are not a prescription for national suicide," wrote Justice Asher Grunis, who is poised to become the next Supreme Court president.

    Yakir and Feller accused the court of stamping "its approval on a racist law, one that will harm the very texture of the lives of families whose only sin is the Palestinian blood that runs in their veins".

    'Security concerns'

    Initially applicable for one year, the law was extended for security reasons, but has been challenged by rights groups on more than one occasion.

    Palestinian-Israeli MP Jamal Zahalka, of the Balad party, said the court "had failed the test of justice".

    "This decision will encourage the racist groups in the Knesset [parliament] to enact more anti-Arab, anti-democratic and anti-human rights laws," he said.

    "The court's ruling pours oil on the fire of racism burning in the Knesset and removes any fear that the Supreme Court will repeal laws on grounds of unconstitutionality."

    Mohammed Barakeh, an Palestinian-Israeli MP with the Hadash party, said the ruling proved a "wave of racism" was sweeping through Israeli institutions.

    "This law, which differentiates between people in a repulsive, racist fashion, sets standards for an individual's personal life and denies Arabs their right to choose their life partner," he said.

    Zehava Galon, an MP from the left-wing Meretz party who filed her own appeal to the Supreme Court against the law, echoed Adalah's criticism.

    "The Supreme Court has failed in its duty to defend the principle of equality of all citizens before the law and to fight against racism," she told Israeli public radio.

    Judicial commentator Moshe Negbi said the ruling showed the court had shown preference to the state's Jewish character "to the detriment of its democratic character".

    'Stealth' return

    Zeev Elkin, chairman of the ruling right-wing coalition, welcomed the court's demonstration of "common sense".

    However, Elkin expressed concern "that almost half of the Supreme Court judges thought it was possible to open the gates of Israel to tens of thousands of Palestinians" who were trying "to implement the right of return by stealth through marriages of convenience".

    Im Tirtzu, a right-wing student group, described the move as a step to "prevent the state of Israel from being flooded by hundreds of thousands of Palestinians".

    The group denounced the decision to oppose the ruling by outgoing Supreme Court President Dorit Beinish, describing it as "a disgrace", and expressing hope that her retirement from the court in February "will signal an end of the anti-Zionist era in the Supreme Court".

 Beirut fights corruption 'poisoning' the city | Lebanon News | Al Jazeera

Beirut fights corruption 'poisoning' the city

Activists in the Lebanese capital are collecting reports of bribery in an effort to curb the practice.

    Beirut fights corruption 'poisoning' the city

    Beirut, Lebanon - "Two airport jobs and a baccalaureate, please," a customer requested in a promotional video for one of the newest shops on Beirut's busy streets, where customers could find anything they needed - for a price.

    Dekkenet al-Balad - "the country's shop" - sprung up on a main street in the Lebanese capital this year to take a humorous swipe at the country's endemic corruption problem.

    The fake shop, set up to look like any other corner store at first glance, had its shelves lined with boxes filled with mock driver's licenses, ID cards and university diplomas, rather than groceries. Posters on its storefront advertised the wares: "The best gift for a person's 18th birthday: Driving permits without an exam."

    "Bribery and corruption are everywhere and in every ministry," explained Abdo Medlej, an economics and finance lecturer at Antonine University and the president of Sakker el-Dekkene, the NGO behind the stunt, which has been collecting reports of bribes via a mobile phone app, a website and a hotline.

    "People are fed up with the corruption. It's poisoning their lives."

    RELATED: Five Arab states top the most corrupt list

    You cannot ask somebody whose salary is below the line of poverty not to ask for bribes. They need extra money and unfortunately corruption is the only way open to them.

    - Yahya Hakim, the Lebanese Transparency Association

    Around five percent of Lebanon's gross domestic product (GDP) is lost to illicit outflows every year. Everything from avoiding traffic laws to getting government jobs and even securing political office can be bought and sold, according to a report by U4, an anti-corruption resource group based in Norway.

    Lebanon ranks 127 out of 177 countries on Transparency International's 2013 Corruptions Perceptions Index, with seven other Middle East and North Africa countries faring worse.

    The country's sectarian political system, an outcome of its 15-year civil war, extends to deeply entrenched networks of patronage, governing everything from education to the judiciary, healthcare and jobs. A systematically weak state means little accountability, while low public sector wages make bribes a highly attractive option to government employees, said Yahya Hakim, the managing director of the Lebanese Transparency Association, the country's chapter of Transparency International.

    "You cannot ask somebody whose salary is below the line of poverty not to ask for bribes. They need extra money and unfortunately corruption is the only way open to them," Hakim said.

    recent report revealed that even the country's more than one million Syrian refugees are vulnerable to corruption, with thousands forced to pay bribes to municipal officials and middlemen in order to receive aid. Medlej said he saw the impact of corruption on his students, many of whom are put off from entering the business world because they believe they will need to join a corrupt system to get ahead.

    According to a 2009 study conducted by the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, 97.7 percent of businesses in Lebanon expect to pay bribes for government contracts.

    One bar owner in Beirut said, when it comes to setting up a business, bribes are a given. "The only people that open places are people who know somebody who knows somebody," he told Al Jazeera. Setting up his bar involved "one call" to avoid having to pay for construction permits.

    "By law, you should have an emergency exit and bathrooms. But nowhere has that. All you have to do is pay one guy who is in charge of everything," said the bar owner, who didn't give Al Jazeera his name.

    Going through the official channels, he claimed, would take months and cost more in bribes paid to government employees. "The permit will take six, seven, eight months," he said. "They always want something more. If the system worked well it would not be very expensive. But the guy who's doing it wants money [at every stage]."

    RELATED: Anti-corruption helpline launched in Delhi

    Sakker el-Dekkene hopes to follow in the footsteps of other countries using technology against bribery. In 2012, a Russian entrepreneur launched a mobile app, Bribr, to report incidents, which was inspired by India's "I Paid a Bribe" website.

    The Lebanese group has already received hundreds of anonymous reports of bribes paid since its campaign began on May 15, with more than $460,000 reportedly changing hands. "Not very proud of this. But my driver's license was delivered to my house for an extra $100 and I never had to sit for the test or learn the rules," reads one testimonial posted on the group's website by Lamia, a Lebanese student.

    Once the location of a corrupt transaction has been identified, the Sakker el-Dekkene car, emblazoned with anti-corruption slogans, will park outside the site to draw attention to what is going on. Medlej said the campaign has so far entirely escaped the ire of government officials and politicians.

    But the group's long-term strategy remains somewhat vague.

    "The second level will be to publish the results and use pressure to make change," Medlej said. He envisions a corruption-free "pilot programme" within a government ministry, and talks have already taken place with the Ministry of Economy. Streamlining administrative procedures and increasing the amount of paperwork processed online are two key ways of reducing opportunities for bribes to be demanded, Medlej said.

    "The reaction from the government has been very positive. Our attitude is that together we can do something," Medlej said. "The administration would love to see reform. Not everybody is corrupt."

    It is a worldwide problem, not only in Lebanon.

    - An official of Lebanon's Ministry of Administrative Reform

    An official in the Ministry of Administrative Reform, which was set up in part to tackle corruption in the civil service, said a slew of legislation was in the draft stages to bring Lebanon in line with the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, which it ratified in 2008. This includes draft laws on whistleblower protection and the establishment of an anti-corruption body. The laws have remained in the draft stages for years, which the official blamed on the country's recurrent political inertia.

    The official, who did not wish to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic, said that while the country obviously faced problems with bribery and corruption, "it is a worldwide problem, not only in Lebanon".

    Hakim, for one, is sceptical that the campaign will make much of a dent on corruption in the country. "This is a joke," he said. "Nobody can [combat corruption] unless you change the entire environment of corruption."

    But one senior government official, who did not wish to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic, said raising awareness was an important first step.

    "When [corruption] is in the press, we receive a lot of official complaints about it," the official said. "You have to reach a lot of people in order to push them to talk about corruption. They think that if they submit a complaint nobody will care. We have to change this mentality."

As·sump·tion - an assuming that something is true; a fact or statement (as a proposition, axiom, postulate, or notion) taken for granted. A very powerful word if we might say so and one that can generally get us in trouble while reviewing hardware. During the course of testing for our upcoming DDR3 roundup, we assumed a few items to be true about the memory we were reviewing. Turns out, our assumptions were off the mark, but for good reason.

Our first assumption is that we should concentrate on the DDR3-1600 kits as they provided a wide range of flexibility for most users. Most of the performance oriented kits would easily hit DDR3-1800+ at decent timings and voltages, satisfying the overclocking needs of all but the hardcore enthusiasts while at the same time allowing very tight timings at lower clock speeds for applications that responded best to a combination of bandwidth and low latencies.

The reason for choosing DDR3-1600 first is that the initial DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 6GB kits we received generally clocked about 100MHz~200MHz above their rated speeds and latency improvements required voltages above 1.65V in most cases on our i7 platform. In addition, pricing was not that much less on a per Gigabyte basis, which certainly justified our higher performing selections at the time. By chance, we were looking at 6GB kit prices on Newegg and NCIX last month and noticed a couple of DDR3-1333 6GB kits had dropped below the $100 mark (a virtual flood of 6GB kits are now hitting the $100 mark).

These kits were not available when we started collecting review samples a few weeks ago so we ordered a new Patriot Viper DDR3-1333 (PVT36G1333ELK) 6GB kit for a very reasonable price of $93.99 plus free shipping. Our reason was simple, we just wanted to see how well the latest “budget” DDR3 product on the market clocked and if our assumptions were still correct about the first 1066/1333 kits we received. Considering our test results with the Patriot kit, we checked the credit line and ordered several “budget” 6GB kits from GSkill, Mushkin, Crucial, OCZ, Corsair, and others to feature in our roundup.

We based our second assumption on test results with our DDR3-1600 to DDR3-2000 kits providing the best possible performance on the i7 platform, especially for those overclocking the 920 processors. Our reasoning for sticking with the higher end kits was sound until recent events. The i7 platform was an expensive proposition for most users who wanted to upgrade with decent motherboards costing $300, the “budget” 920 processor going for nearly $300, and 6GB low voltage DDR3 kits costing a good $225 or higher for products that could keep up with the 920 overclocks. This resulted in a very niche market condition and one that if you had to ask the price then you probably were not going to be able to afford it.

A few weeks later, we have X58 motherboards selling for $170 with rebates, a new i7 processor stepping (D0) coming from Intel that promises a little extra headroom in clock rates, and 6GB DDR3 kits selling for around $90. The entry cost to get into an i7 platform has dropped about 34% in the last six weeks if you are pinching pennies like most of us. Guess what, the performance difference in platform selections then and now is less than 2% at best. Only those who plan on serious overclocking need to worry about spending more, but that is always the case.

Another factor in dropping prices is the rise from ashes act that AMD has accomplished with the Phenom II product line. True, it is not in the same performance category as the i7 when it comes to crunching numbers or heavy manipulation of digital content, but the Phenom II is extremely competitive on a price/performance basis when looking at the big picture. Pairing up the current Phenom II X3 720BE with either a DDR2/DDR3 based 790FX/GX motherboard results in some of the best bang for the buck performance you are likely to experience this year, at least until the new X4 95x series comes out.

Of course, Intel has the P55 platform launching later this year and we mention that because DDR3 will soon become the memory of choice for anyone upgrading to a new platform. The Phenom II platform lets you retain your current DDR2 based AM2+ setup until you decide to make the switch and we will soon see that is not a bad option from an everyday performance or cost viewpoint. However, those who need the absolute best performance from the Phenom II should go the DDR3 route at this point.

All that said, we are here today to take a first look at the Patriot Viper Series (PVT36G1333ELK) DDR3-1333 CAS9 6GB memory kit. Heresy, one might claim looking at the specs but this kit delivers the flexibility we have been seeking, only at a lower price point. Until we finish testing our recent "budget" arrivals, we thought it prudent to provide a quick look at how well this particular memory kit clocks and if it higher memory speeds actually matter at stock processor speeds or mild overclocks.

Test Setup and conquering Everest...

    Why does this Kit get less points at DDR3-1600 CL7-7-7-20 1T at copying than DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-20 1T? Reply
  • wicko - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    Why does it seem that from these benchmarks that its not practical to do memory overclocking? Not to mention that timings seem to have more potential than the difference in clock speeds we're seeing in this update. Am I missing something? Reply
  • x86 64 - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    Still what's the point for the average user to replace his DDR2 kit and motherboard\CPU with DDR3 1066Mhz or 1333Mhz at C9? Seriously what's the point? You can get cheap DDR2 1066Mhz with better timings while still keeping the same board and CPU.

    To me DDR3 and i7 are completely pointless right now unless you have money to burn. The i7 is the GTX280 of the generation, little performance gain for the average user over last generation hardware. Maybe it would be different if there were more multithreaded applications on the desktop but there just aren't. No I'm not counting audio\video encoding apps since it's not something you do all day everyday.

    Also I'm surprised that and other sites like HarOCP act satisfied with today's software. When hardware companies start slipping they get pounced on but when the software creators are lazy we act like it's the norm (capable software to match the hardware is just as important to me). I understand this is mainly a hardware site but it's just that software is so important to the big picture and it disgusts me how far behind the software part has fallen. You can have the latest cutting edge hardware but if the software isn't there it's pointless. That's how the i7 feels to me. It feels like total overkill at this point in time. If you think this will somehow rapidly change in the next few years you're fooling yourself.
  • erple2 - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    If you already have a quad core processor, then I don't think that there is that much point to buying up an i7 system right now, unless you have money to burn. If you have a P4 (or single processor Athlon64 system), however, then there is actually a point to it. If you're looking at massive parallelization, however, there is a market. Who in the consumer market space actually needs that? I'd estimate that's about 0.01% of the market (who does CFD in their spare time???).

    I'm not going to comment on the software comment. Suffice it to say that multi-threaded software for generic tasks is EXTREMELY HARD to do. Ask John Carmack why Quake isn't optimized to run on quad core processors.
  • The0ne - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    multi-threading is hard to do that is why I don't understand why everyone is so rush to be on the dual/quad bandwagon. Sure you have the hardware but what's making use them and making use of them EFFECTIVELY and EFFICIENTLY? You have server apps that have been programmed to do that but commercial?

    All these bloated commercial software are a joke to me really. Yes, you can justify a portion of them taking chunks of gigabyte but come on. Maybe I'm just a little disappointed because coming from embedded programming is different, which it didn't use to be. More efficient programming, less resources used and no need for giga-cpu configuration to run your web browser.

    Having said that however,I thought being a enthusiast means you do what you love doing even if you go broke or have no purpose for the PC. Kinda like fixing up your car, painting toys, drawing, etc. Enthusiast aren't you average Joe, they do it because they love doing it.

    I build PCs not to use them but for the joy of building, customizing and testing. That's enthusiast to me :)
  • x86 64 - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - link

    Funny you should mention efficient software that uses less resources. I was thinking about an article I read where Microsoft was bragging that they had coded a Windows Vista derived kernel that ran on something like 60MB RAM with the rest picking up around 300MB. What happened to that? Why do we have this beast in Vista\Win 7 that idles at 1.5GB? Then again it's not only MS but just about any mainstream commercial application you can think of. They come out so bloated I wouldn't even consider installing it let alone actually paying money for it.

    You're right it IS about having fun and building\benching and just enjoying the technology, no question about it. It's just that even my "aging" E8400\8800GTX\680i\4GB DDR2-1200Mhz system has yet to be fully stressed or even approached it's limit. Occasionally when unpacking a large WinRaR archive or .ISO image RAM usage hit's 3GB utilization. I mean the best workout my PC gets is from a PS2 emulator. Other than that it's power is still relatively untapped. If there were more games and software that could efficiently and more importantly EFFECTIVELY use an eight thread, 6GB-12GB RAM and dual GPU setup it would actually make it worthwhile owning something like that.

    Well anyways back on topic, a DDR3 kit rated 1066Mhz\1333Mhz CAS 9 is completely pointless if you ask me. I'll stick with my 4GB DDR2 PC-9600 kit I bought for $175 that will do 1150Mhz C4 or 1333Mhz C5.
  • x86 64 - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    Well by your logic I should get a break too. My job is extremely hard. So should I get a pass when I don't feel like doing something because it's hard? I imagine designing CPU's and GPU's is extremely hard so should Intel and AMD just do a half ass job because of it?

    The Quake series wasn't optimized for quad cores because they didn't even exist when the last game was released. If you're talking about the 1.4.2 patch that adds support for dual cores well then I agree that coding for multiple cores is probably very hard to do when the framework has already been laid. I'm not asking these companies to go back and optimize all their software and games from 5 years ago. What I am asking is for them to add support for multiple cores when they redesign or write their new applications and games.

    What's the point of having all that CPU power if it's just going to waste? I understand that the software\hardware paradigm is constantly shifting with one advancing faster than the other for periods of time but this is ridiculous. I don't ever remember software being so far behind. IMO it's in a sorry state right now.
  • RMSe17 - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    It's great to see a low cost product performing as well as the really expensive alternatives. That being said, would you guys consider doing another X58 motherboard roundup, this time targeting the lower cost motherboards? It seems that all the reviews that I find have the best motherboard from each company compared, but I am curious as to how the "budget" X58 boards compare, especially when it comes to overclocking potential.

    Thanks a lot for all the reviews,
  • Gary Key - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - link

    We are working on "budget" X58 roundup right now. I will be honest, we had one ready but after receiving several new boards from MSI, Zotac, Gigabyte, and ASUS that are selling for under $230, we decided to blow it up and start over. It will go up near the end of the month after we finish up a review of the latest IG boards. Reply

Well, for views that have fixed dimensions you probably shouldn’t. But for views of which one or both dimensions are relative to the screen size of the user’s device, providing density specific images alone won’t cut it.

If the aspect ratio (width / height) of the view is not fixed either you will need the Resizable Images we will discuss in our next post or you need to crop the image, which we will come to at the end of this post.

It is full width and/or height images (background or splash) in particular that we can address with device specific images.

We have seen that iOS uses filename suffixes for density specific images. The table Providing density specific images on iOS listed three options (@3x and @2x plus no suffix) for each image, but there are 7 more. Assuming our input to be /images/image.png again, Titanium considers the following paths, given the device matches the condition in the iPhone or iPad column.

Filename iPhone iPad Full-screen size (px)
image-736h@3x.png * == 6 Plus   2208×1242 (16:9)
image@3x.png == 6 Plus   2208×1242 (16:9)
image-667h@2x.png * == 6   1334×750 (16:9)
image-568h@2x.png * == 5   1136×640 (16:9)
image@2x~iphone.png * >= 4   960×640 (3:2)
image@2x~ipad.png *   >= 3
>= Mini 2
== Air
2048×1536 (4:3)
image@2x.png >= 4 >= 3
>= Mini 2
== Air
image~iphone.png * All   480×320 (3:2)
image~ipad.png *   All 1024×768 (4:3)
image.png All All

As you can see, we can use ~iphone and ~ipad to target images for iPhone (including iPod Touch) or iPad. The other new suffix you see is -<dp>h. This allows you to target 3 specific categories of iPhone screens by their height in DP.

* If you make sure you have all these images in place, it will show exactly as expected on all iOS devices.

See the example app for a demonstration of these suffixes.

Orientation specific images

Only launch/splash images support an additional suffix for iPad and iPhone 6 Plus, which is -Landscape or -Portrait. See the iOS graphic asset requirements and options for the exact filenames and dimensions. For regular views, you will have to handle orientation specific images yourself, for example using Jason Kneen’s Dynamic TSS Widget.

We saw that Android uses folder names with so-called configuration qualifier names. The selection is done by the OS itself and described in detail in its API Guides.

It won’t surprise you that the many qualifiers also include some for screen sizes:

  • Smallest width (sw<N>dp)
  • Available width (w<B>dp)
  • Available height (h<B>dp)
  • Screen aspect (long|notlong)
  • Screen orientation (port|land)

Other than iOS, no image will exactly match the device. So for fullscreen (background) images you will still get stretched images or images that don’t fully cover the view. The best solution for these cases are nine-patch (next post) or cropped images (see below).

For images that have only one relative dimension (e.g. a full-width header image with auto-size height) it works fine you won’t end up with a blurry image taking up almost half of the screen when you open the app on a tablet.

See the example app for a demonstration of the Available width qualifier:

Crop on demand

The resizable images we’ll discuss in our next post of this series, will not work for photos or detailed images. If you don’t know the exact aspect ratio the image must have, then the above solutions won’t do and leave you with just one option: crop them.

To crop the images on a remote server, you simply have to send it the exact dimenions you need, in pixels of course. For example:

var view = Ti.UI.createImageView({
    hires: true // required for iOS to not scale down

// wait till we have the layed out size
view.addEventListener('postlayout', function getImage() {
  view.removeEventListener('postlayout', getImage);

  var ldf = Ti.Platform.displayCaps.logicalDensityFactor;

  var width = Math.round(view.size.width * ldf);
  var height = Math.round(view.size.height * ldf);

  view.image = '' + width + 'x' + height;

Titanium automatically caches remote images based on the URL.

See the example app for a demonstration using

To crop local, the idea is the same but you do the image manipulation in the app instead of on the server. For the best result, first down or upsize the image to cover the target dimensions and then crop the overflow.

See the example app for a demonstration including local cache.

Sensors come in a vast array of types, but essentially all types of sensor share the same characteristic and perform a similar function. Regardless of the type of sensor, or the setting, they are used to detect, record or measure levels, or to sense changes to its environment. The data that is recorded by the sensor is transmitted to its computer and then tells the output device (the actuator) to output in a given way. Sensors are available to measure, record or detect electrical current, temperature, air quality, humidity, movement, flow and light, to name just a few. Fibre optic sensors, as an example, can operate in extreme temperatures and are unaffected by electromagnetic interference. Sensors are widely used in an extensive range of domestic and industrial applications, from everyday settings in the home to extreme conditions.

Looking for a quote? Let Applegate PRO do the hard work

  1. Current Sensors
    - 11 Suppliers 102 Products

    Current sensors are devices that allow measurements of electrical current in a wire to be recorded. The current sensor produces a signal which is proportional to the current. This can be shown as current, analog voltage or in digital format.

  2. Environmental Sensors
    - 7 Suppliers 722 Products

    Environmental sensors are devices that are used to detect, measure or analyse existence of substances in the environment. Examples include sensors to measure air humidity and temperature, as well as safety devices that can detect harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide. They can be used in domestic and industrial settings.

  3. Fibre Optic Sensors
    - 1 Supplier 1 Product

    Fibre optic sensors are sometimes referred to as fibre optic thermometers. This is because they are typically used to measure and record temperatures, often extreme temperatures. As fibre optic sensors are unaffected by radio frequency interference and electromagnetic interference, they are extremely reliable.

  4. Flow Sensors
    - 12 Suppliers 263 Products

    Flow sensors are devices that can be used to record and measure fluid flow rate. They are suitable for use in a wide variety of environments and settings. Flexible fitting options and variable installation positions make flow sensors versatile and adaptable. Flow sensors can use analog and switching outputs.

  5. Force Sensors and Load Cells
    - 10 Suppliers 173 Products

    Force sensors and load cells, also known as weigh/weight cells and force cells, are transducers that convert the load that is applied into an analog or digital output. The output signal can be electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic. Force sensors and load cells are used extensively in weighing applications.

  6. IC Sensors
    - 7 Suppliers 18 Products

    IC (integrated circuit) sensors, also known as IC temperature sensors are an integrated circuit device with two terminals. A small sensor unit with a fast response time works seamlessly with the transducer that produces output proportional to the absolute temperature.

  7. Light Sensors
    - 5 Suppliers 13 Products

    Light sensors, commonly also referred to as photoelectric sensors, are devices that detect the absence or presence of an object. They can also determine the distance the object is away from the source. Infrared technology works with a photoelectric receiver and converts into an output signal.

  8. Liquid Level Sensors
    - 8 Suppliers 409 Products

    Liquid level sensors are devices used to monitor fluid levels in a variety of environments. Liquid level sensors employ optical monitoring technology, often with highly sensitive and precise photodiode technology.

  13. Position Sensors
    - 9 Suppliers 23 Products

    Position sensors come in a wide variety of types suitable for an extensive range of different applications across domestic settings and many industries. Inductive sensors are non-contact sensors, like most types of position sensors, which is an obvious benefit. Position sensors can be used to offer precise measurements of most types of materials, solids and fluids.

  14. Pressure Sensors and Transducers
    - 18 Suppliers 305 Products

    Pressure sensors and transducers, sometimes known as electronic pressure or vacuum sensors, are suitable for a variety of industrial applications. They work by means of two measuring cells and strain gauges. They are durable, precise and reliable devices capable of handling extreme shock and vibration.

  15. Proximity Sensors andSwitches
    - 9 Suppliers 90 Products

    Proximity sensors and switches have three main categories. Inductive proximity sensors detect metals and capacitive proximity sensors can detect metallic and non-metallic materials.

Bill Terry, Little Rock lawyer, dies at 94 UPDATE | Arkansas Blog

Bill Terry, Little Rock lawyer, dies at 94 UPDATE

Posted By on Tue, Dec 27, 2016 at 8:41 AM

click to enlarge WILLIAM L. TERRY
Bill Terry, a retired partner in the Friday Law Firm, died Christmas day at 94. And what a life he lived, as his obituary at Ruebel Funeral Home makes clear. Son of a congressman, his childhood was spent in the historic Pike-Fletcher-Terry House downtown. He made his own mark as a flyer in World War II and as a distinguished Little Rock lawyer, with a guiding role in just about every civic and philanthropic effort imaginable. He made a regular visit to a law firm office until he was 92

I came to know him as the kind and soft-spoken father, then grandfather, of friends. To them I send best wishes this morning.

A few months ago, the family had a joint outing for what would be Mr. Terry's final vote. They shared several photos with me then, including with his daughter, Susan Borne, at the voting machine. At least he came up on the winning side in Pulaski County.

UPDATE: From Robert Johnston, the former legislator and PSC commissioner, comes an elaboration on Terry's World War II service, for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross as a gunner on a B-17.

The obit for William L. Terry mentioned his 34 missions as a gunner in B-17s from March-August 1944. There is more… much more… to the story.

Bill Terry was 6’3” and a waist gunner (designed for 5’6”.] In addition to the discomfort from flying at high altitude in subzero cold at an open window he had the added strain of firing from a crouch, his head hitting the metal ceiling with each bump, as was almost continuous in rough air and common flak.

During his training he heard the casualty reports and calculated his chances of living through his tour – in ‘43 and ‘44 ‘fly 25 missions and you rotate home’… but about 10% of the bombers were being shot down each mission over Europe… i.e. 10 missions and your chances were approaching 100 percent for death.

That changed… Bill Terry told me he owed his life to the P-47 Thunderbolt, which had the added range with drop tanks to escort the bombers all the way into Germany… and dropped the casualty rate much lower… but the number of missions increased.

His closest brush with death occurred just a few days before D-Day  and explains why he was on leave in England on 6 Jun 44. His crew drew heavy flak… which blew off both legs of the pilot. The co-pilot landed the plane, with Terry in the seat of the badly wounded pilot. The pilot died a day later. The crew was given two days ‘trauma’ leave.

Three years later Bill and Betty – his new pride and bride – visited the parents of the dead pilot.

He said, "It could have been me. I’m glad it wasn’t,"

The slithers and shards of red material embedded into the slope of the hill, the strong shadows cast by sun and fire, the drawing of the eye across the wider landscape, are all experiences felt by the service workers at moments during and after a crisis.

Ultimately, however, the direction into and onto the ‘Blanket’ brings the visitor to experience the sense of safety provided by the emergency services, in the enclosure of the memorial space itself.

The Australian collective memory is embodied within Anzac Parade. The Emergency Services Memorial contributes another layer of significance to this memory.

The intention is to draw the viewer into a complex sense of shared human experience with those who serve in the emergency services. It draws on the outdoor experience of many cataclysmic events, through perhaps subliminal recollection of such commonly shared and emotive Australian moments as lines of grass fire at night, lightning flashes, the shadows of one’s body cast by strong sunlight or fire.

Brilliant tape for the price

I love Festool tools so I could be biased but usually not. This tape is made for Festool by BMI which is a good starting point.

The tape has a simple lock, it has a clear top window giving an accurate measure to the back edge of the tape. There is a foldout tab which has a small hard metal point. Combined with an eyelet hole near the tape end this allows quick and accurate use for marking circles.

And, it looks good! For its cost, amazing.

Festool model for accurate measurements manufactured by BMI

Tage Allan Larsson ran a small company making tape measures named TAL-meter. To me, his 3 meter version is the height of tape measures. The original of this product is no longer available, as to why this Festool by BMI will have to substitute.

The tape of this one is less rigid and more narrow than on my TAL-meter, and that I think can be something that makes the Festool product less useful at the big construction site. Otherwise, it's close to perfect.

Both external and internal measurements are very accurate. Reading internal measurements from the top of the tape measure is very easy, while external measures are a little bit less. This is partly due to the combined metric and imperial scales, but mainly an issue when measuring from edge to edge and locking with body of the unit against the edge. Taking the reading would have been facilitated by a small recess in the front of the body, just above the opening for the tape.

The locking mechanism is easy to reach and locking does not require much power, which to me is good when taking internal readings. Once locked, pulling the tape unlocks it; a nice feature I think, but possibly a small risk when transferring longer measurements.

Setting off lengths works very nicely, as the tape isn't rigid and the markings on it are clear and distinct.

This tape measure is equipped with a mechanism for drawing circles. How to do it is very clearly shown on the side of the house. It works well, with good enough accuracy.

For being Festool, price is benign. That almost makes me suspicious

All About Baby

Your baby’s brain is growing daily. Her senses are also starting to develop. She can hear the sound of your heart along with your breathing. As she wiggles her fingers, she may touch her face or even suck her thumb. Her lungs are becoming more mature, and she even goes through the motions of breathing. She can also swallow, although she won’t have her first real meal until delivery day.

All About You

You’re probably feeling fetal movement throughout the day now that your baby’s getting bigger. And as she grows, your body has to make room. Your stomach will have less space to expand, meaning you may suffer heartburn and indigestion, especially at night. Add to that the fact that pregnancy hormones can slow digestion making your tummy troubles even worse. Slight swelling may make your shoes uncomfortable. Your back may also ache with the added weight of your baby bump. Your bladder is also suffering from the space crunch, so expect plenty of potty breaks.

Intimacy and Pregnancy

Some women experience big bonuses along with their pregnancy—larger breasts, glowing skin, and a slight baby bump—if you’re part of this group, chances are you feel more attractive than ever. On the flip side, if your pregnancy has been mostly about enduring nausea and fatigue, your libido may have taken a nosedive. No matter what your circumstance, the changes taking place in your body will undoubtedly affect how you and your partner feel about intimacy.

Why you may feel more attractive

Changes in your appearance: One of the first signs of pregnancy is an increased cup size. If you normally have smaller breasts, your new fuller breasts may make you feel more desirable. Couple that with an increased blood flow, which leaves you with rosier cheeks, and you might be downright irresistible.

Fluctuations in hormone levels: Pregnancy hormones may have you craving everything from pickles and ice cream to more intimacy. Keep in mind that the effects of these hormones vary for every woman, and your moods may change daily (sometimes hourly!).

Free of pressure to conceive: Perhaps you’ve been trying for months to get pregnant. Now that the pressure is off, intimacy may become more enjoyable and less of a task.

Why you may not feel interested

Tenderness: Your breasts and abdomen are going through quite a growth spurt, which may leave you sore. Intimacy may be uncomfortable, especially during your first and last trimesters.

Fatigue and nausea: If you’ve suffered strong bouts of nausea, intimacy may be the last thing on your mind. Fatigue may further zap any other desires.

Weight gain: As you’ve watched the scale tip upwards, you may feel frumpy.

Why intimacy is important

Intimacy allows you and your partner to express your love and concern for each other. It’s a physical closeness that can reinforce your emotional connection to your partner. A gentle massage, cuddling, and kissing, can help erase some of the day-to-day pains of pregnancy and let you know your partner is there for you.

Worrying about the baby

“Unless you have a specific medical issues like multiple births, placenta previa, or another high-risk condition, sexual intercourse won’t hurt your baby,” explains Dr. William Camann, MD, director of obstetric anesthesia at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and coauthor of Easy Labor.

He notes, however, that you may notice some contractions after lovemaking—that’s normal. Unless your cervix is already starting to dilate, there’s little reason to worry that these contractions will lead to labor.

If you have any unexplained bleeding after intimacy, or sex is extremely uncomfortable, talk to your healthcare provider about your concerns.

Q & A

Got questions about Week 22? Other ladies have wondered…

Q: I’ve been told to schedule a gestational diabetes test, but I don’t know what it is.

A gestational diabetes test (also known as an oral glucose tolerance test or OGTT) is done as a routine screening for all pregnant women. Your doctor will let you know when it is appropriate for you. It is routinely done between weeks 24 and 28 of your pregnancy. This test looks at how well your body copes with glucose (or sugar levels). Read more about the gestational diabetes test.

Q: I’m 22 weeks pregnant and my nipples really hurt. Is this normal?

The pain around your nipples is probably a result both of increased sensitivity and small amounts of microscopic engorgement near the drainage ducts going to the nipple. But you may have engorgement in other areas of your breast as well. Severe engorgement can lead to mastitis or an infection of the breast tissue. Read more about breast changes during pregnancy.

Q: Is shortness of breath at 22 weeks a normal symptom?

A feeling of working harder to breathe is common in pregnancy, partly due to progesterone, a pregnancy hormone that affects your breathing, and partly due (usually later on) to the size of the uterus preventing your lungs from fully expanding. Read more about shortness of breath at 22 weeks.

Your Partner

Staying Connected

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It is not just about sex, but about physical and emotional closeness between you and your partner. Some men are uncomfortable having sex while their partners are pregnant, but as long as the doctor says it is safe (and usually it is), by all means, enjoy it. These are the last months you will have a chance to be intimate without worrying about another little being in your life, so take advantage of it!

Once your baby is born you will most likely find yourselves too tired and too focused on other things (like Baby!) to make time for sex. But it is incredibly important to remember that intimacy between you and your partner is vital to the health and success of your relationship. While sex certainly can be a form of intimacy, your relationship doesn’t always have to include sex. Sometimes intimacy can be cuddling together, talking with each other, sharing your time and experiences, reading together, or indulging in a late morning in bed while doing crosswords or Sudoku together.

The key is to practice and be creative in your intimacy now so when things get chaotic after your baby is born, you’ll already know tried-and-true ways to bring you and your partner together, despite all that is going on around you both.

Sing Sing on the Brazos (Texas A&M nickname)

Sing Sing is a famous prison in upstate New York. Life at Texas A&M University (near the Brazos River) was compared to this prison by at least 1937. The “Sing Sing on the Brazos” nickname became less applicable when Texas A&M started to admit women in the 1960s. “Sing Sing on the Brazos” is seldom used today.

Texas A&M has also been called “Harvard on the Brazos.”

Wikipedia: Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University, often called A&M or TAMU, is a coeducational public research university located in College Station, Texas. It is the flagship institution of the Texas A&M University System. It opened in 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, the first public institution of higher education in that state. In 1963, the Texas Legislature renamed the school, Texas A&M University, to reflect the institution’s expanded roles and academic offerings. The letters “A&M” no longer have any explicit meaning but are retained as a link to the university’s past. The nickname “Aggie” refers to students, alumni, and sports teams of Texas A&M.

Wikipedia: Sing Sing
Sing Sing Correctional Facility is a maximum security prison in Ossining, New York, USA. It is located approximately 30 miles (48 km) north of New York City on the banks of the Hudson River. The name comes from the town of Ossining’s original name of “Sing Sing”, though the penitentiary was first called “Mount Pleasant” when it opened in 1828.

9 December 1937, The Daily Texan (Austin, TX), “Prof” by Margaret Bellmont, pg. 4, col. 5:
“We wonder if this is an example of the action of all T. U. students when attending dances—if it is, we are indeed glad that we came to dear old Sing Sing on the Brazos, the War College, or what have you.”

26 July 1942, Galveston (TX) Daily News, pg. 11, col. 7:
Kitty Sue Jinkins, Purple Quill queen, was every Aggie’s choice for queen at Saturday night’s prom.

Edmond Henderson, seen on the campus this week, is probably vacationing on Texas’ “Sing Sing on the Brazos.”

February 1946, American Speech, “An Aggie Vocabulary of Slang” by Fred Eikel, Jr., pg. 35:
SING SING ON THE BRAZOS, n. The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, located about three miles from the Brazos River.

Time magazine
Texas Athletic & Military
Friday, Sep. 28, 1962
Yet none of these superlatives catch even a whiff of the Aggieland spirit. When A. & M. opened 86 years ago, it was smack in the population center of Texas. Today it is 100 miles from anywhere—Austin, Houston or Waco—and though the site is called College Station, the trains that go through the 5,200-acre campus will stop only for hogs or horses, not humans. People who fly or drive there can see why critics call it “Sing Sing on the Brazos.” Looming out of rlatland where the lowly “post oak” grows, the school is a cluster of penal-looking buildings flying the flag of Texas. Center of the campus is the Academic Building, with an odd dome topped by a bare electric light bulb that Aggies used to shoot out regularly.

27 September 1962, Abilene (TX) Reporter-News, “Aggie Blood Boils,” pg. 1, col. 6:
A pox on Time Magazine and writer Robert Glenn Sherrill has been cast by the hardiest of all college alumni—Those of Texas A&M.
Here are samples of Sherrill’s written pot-shots heard around Aggie world: “People who fly or drive there can see why critics call it ‘Sing Sing on the Brazos.’ A&M has no departments of art, classics, music or philosophy. English, history and psychology are undistinguished. To scoffers at the major-league University of Texas, Aggies are strictly ‘union packers.’”

2 May 1963, Pasadena (CA) Independent, “Texas Aggies Build Hate for Women,” pg. 10, col. 3:
It is a standing pastime in Texas to razz Aggies. Aggie jokes number in the thousands and a new unmerciful rash of puns, digs and innuendoes will accompany co-eds to the campus that is often called “Sing Sing on the Brazos (River).”

Journalism Is For Rockstars
Why A&M sucks
March 24, 2007

This rant’s probably been a long time coming, what with living 45 minutes from College Station for seven months, and general irritation at Man Boobs, but every whine has its time.

I don’t hate Texas A&M, but I don’t like it. A&M sucks. The reasons for Aggie suckage are wide and varied, but I’ll try to lay it out.

1) College Station is flat and ugly. The campus is not pretty at all, and gives thorough credence to the earlier nickname for A&M, “Sing-Sing on the Brazos.”

Stuart Hooper believes closing out a tight game, rather than losing it late, will do Bath Rugby the world of good.

Having fallen to late tries by Newcastle Falcons and Gloucester to lose at home by a point this season, it was the hosts' turn to snatch it at the death against Leicester Tigers.

Having trailed 31-19 in the final quarter, a converted Zach Mercer score and a scrum penalty try saw the Blue, Black and Whites win 33-31 and make it two from two in the Anglo-Welsh Cup.

They are top of Pool 1 and in serious danger of making it into the semi-finals for once, with two pool matches to come in January and February.

Performance and player development director Stuart Hooper said: "To come through at the end showed some real grit and to get the win is obviously pleasing.

The Bath Rugby pack take a breather before the final push against Leicester Tigers
The Bath Rugby pack take a breather before the final push against Leicester Tigers

"To close the game down with a minute and 40 on the clock is a good learning curve for them.

"It's probably the complete opposite to the end of the game at home against Gloucester (Bath conceded a late try to lose).

"As a performance there are areas to work on, definitely. In the first half we were a bit sloppy to be honest.

"We let go of the ball a bit too often and didn't keep hold of it in the attacking third, which meant we didn't build a huge amount of pressure.

"Coupled with that, our lineout was not delivering great ball, which means we were putting ourselves under a bit of pressure.

"It's really important for the guys to learn how to win games of rugby and I think they did that tonight."

Freddie Burns scored a superb chip-and-gather try in the first half and kicked six goals from six, as he did against London Irish a week earlier.

Hooper praised openside Josh Bayliss for his energy and defensive line speed and was happy to see Tom Homer back and impressing after injury, ready for the block of three Premiership matches coming up.

A very rare thing happened at the Rec. All of Bath's starting front five - Nick Auterac, Michael van Vuuren, Scott Andrews, Levi Douglas and James Phillips - played the full 80 minutes.

Phillips ended the game on the blindside when Mercer replaced skipper Matt Garvey and made the tackle on Fred Tuilagi which caused him to spill the ball for Mercer to score.

Hooper, who was in charge of the team with academy manager Andy Rock as Todd Blackadder took a step back, added: "James has done fantastically well.

"Every time he pulls on the jersey he puts in a massively consistent performance.

"Some of those guys are young and playing 80 minutes, some are a bit more mature, but it's good for them to get the reward at the end.

"There wasn't a huge eye on next week (Bath made only three substitutions). The decision was around the way they were playing and also the picture the referee had.

"We were painting a very dominant picture at scrum time so why would we change that? It was our route into the game, especially as the rain came in."

Depite it being the Anglo-Welsh Cup and despite the internationals being away, the attendance was only 155 short of the 14,509 capacity, which Hooper described as "absolutely fantastic".

"Hopefully, they enjoyed the 64 points that were scored," he added.
