Ami (magazine)

Ami (Hebrew: עמי‎, "My people") is an Orthodox Jewish newsmagazine published weekly in New York and Israel. The magazine was launched by the husband-wife team of Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter and Rechy Frankfurter, former editors at Mishpacha. Since its debut in November 2010, it has become one of the three leading magazines in the New York Orthodox community, alongside Mishpacha and Binah.

Coverage

Ami has featured interviews with political figures such as Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. and Governor Pataki Ami also featured reporting from inside the United States Supreme Court during the announcement of the "Obamacare" ruling.

The publication often addresses provocative issues, such as child abuse in the Orthodox community and religious vigilantism. A January 2012 cover story on antisemitism depicted the White House draped with swastika flags while stormtroopers marched across the South Lawn. That issue drew criticism from readers and elicited public and print apologies by the publisher.Ami was censured by Satmar rabbis in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn after the magazine published a piece about extremism gaining leverage in the Edah HaChareidis organization; Ami later published a retraction.

Ami was the name of a word processing program developed and marketed by Samna in the late 1980s. (Samna was purchased by Lotus Software in 1990.) Shortly after its introduction, the name of the program was changed to "Ami Pro."

Ami Pro was a significant competitor to Microsoft Word and WordPerfect Corporation's WordPerfect during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The developers of Ami Pro introduced a number of innovations in Ami Pro that were later adopted by other word processors.

At the time that Ami Pro was introduced, the word processing market was dominated by WordPerfect. Both Ami Pro and Microsoft Word made inroads into WordPerfect's market share. Eventually Microsoft Word overtook WordPerfect as the dominant player and Ami Pro was discontinued.

IBM, the present owner of the Lotus brand, renamed it Lotus Word Pro.

The 16-bit Ami Pro had significant limitations, most notably that it was unable to display the bottom of one page and the top of the next at the same time. The limitations were so severe that Lotus completely re-wrote the program from scratch when developing the 32-bit version for Windows 95.

Magazine (firearms)

A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm. Magazines can be removable (detachable) or integral to the firearm. The magazine functions by moving the cartridges stored in the magazine into a position where they may be loaded into the chamber by the action of the firearm. The detachable magazine is often referred to as a clip, although this is technically inaccurate.

Magazines come in many shapes and sizes, from those of bolt-action express rifles that hold only a few rounds to drum magazines for self-loading rifles that can hold as many as one hundred rounds. Various jurisdictions ban what they define as "high-capacity magazines".

Nomenclature

With the increased use of semi-automatic and automatic firearms, the detachable box magazine became increasingly common. Soon after the adoption of the M1911 pistol, the term "magazine" was settled on by the military and firearms experts, though the term "clip" is often used in its place (though only for detachable magazines, never fixed). The defining difference between clips and magazines is the presence of a feed mechanism in a magazine, typically a spring-loaded follower, which a clip lacks. Use of the term "clip" to refer to detachable magazines is a point of strong disagreement.
