PHNOM PENH (AFP) — The Khmer Rouge's prisons chief told Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes court that he had "sacrificed everything" for the revolution that ultimately killed up to two million people. Duch, whose real name is Kaing Guek Eav, last week apologised at his trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, saying he accepted blame for the extermination of thousands of people at the movement's notorious main prison, Tuol Sleng. On Monday the grey-haired 66-year-old stood, arms folded across his chest, to tell how he left his job as a maths teacher to join the communist movement which became the Khmer Rouge. "I believed my decision was proper at the time. I sacrificed everything for the revolution, sincerely and absolutely," Duch said. "I will write a document about the crimes I did to my people at the time and recall the names involved. Where there was cruel activity by myself, I will reveal it," he added. Hearings are scheduled this week to focus on M-13 prison, a secret centre which Duch ran from 1971 to 1975 during the Khmer Rouge insurgency against the then US-backed government. The Khmer Rouge were later in power from 1975 to 1979, the period when Duch is accused of supervising Tuol Sleng prison, where 15,000 people were tortured before being sent to their deaths. Judge Nil Nonn said it was necessary to hear about M-13 to undertand Tuol Sleng's organising structure, the personality of Duch and the relevance of his role to the Khmer Rouge leadership. Read more.

Pitot all kinds of sensor is used to measure the speed of the airplane. It is a differential Pressure Sensor . It measures the difference between a static port (not in the air stream) and a Pitot tube which is directly placed in the path of Nagano keiki Pressure sensor air flow.When the plane is stationary, the pressure in both the tubes is equal and abs speed sensor the air speed is zero. When the plane is moving, air enters the pitot mazda 6 suction control valve . This causes the pressure difference between the suction control valve and the pitot tube. An internal amplifier creates an amplified voltage output and hence the sensor can be connected directly to Speed Sensor and data acquisition systems. The output voltage changes with the difference in pressure between the two ports.VW & AUDI SERIES PEUGEOT & CITROEN SERIES RENAULT SERIES VOLVO SERIES
