Usually I aimed at the bull’s eye, in front of which I unfortunately can’t make out my sights, even with my glasses on. My arms were tired and I was pretty nervous.Īnd finally, my Top Gun target. We were judged by the tightness of our group (the greatest distance between any two shots), not by proximity to the bull’s eye. One of my rounds was dented and didn’t leave the chamber. First we fired into a 11 bulls target, and then we fired practice rounds for the Top Gun competition (using the pistol target, because we lost a day of practice to snow).
January 21 st, standing, from 33 feet away and then again from 50 feet away:įinally, January 26 th, standing, from 33 feet away. The following are my targets from the month, starting with my first round on January 12 th and the next few on January 14 th, both from seated, from 33 feet away: 22 caliber semiautomatic rifles with ten-round rotary drum magazines. Please Note: All students will have the opportunity to participate in a beginner-level appropriate competitive match to determine the class “Top Gun.” Beginner Rifle course provides an introduction to the basic rules of firearms safety, the “anatomy” of the rifle, how it functions, two fundamental sport rifle shooting positions, and the application of safe and effective marksmanship techniques used in the pursuit of sport rifle shooting proficiency. They are mostly taught by Coach Mike Conti, who has served in the US Army and the Massachusetts State Police and now runs his own private training and consulting services company. Rifle is one of three firearms classes phys ed classes at MIT (the others are pistol and intermediate pistol). The other time I felt really awesome and really, really badass, which is possibly related and way cooler, is this IAP in rifle. Have you done this before?” It felt good. The first time I replica plated, in 7.02, my professor was watching and she said, “Wow, you’re really good at replica plating. Just kidding, bacteria don’t have mustaches and hats ( or do they). You ruin not only your experiment, but also the lives of millions of bacteria. If you don’t, you smear the colonies on the cloth and the petri dishes into their neighbors, making it difficult to track specific colonies’ survival. You wrap a piece of cloth around a cylindrical block and mash it into an inhabited petri plate, and then you mash it again into an uninhabited petri plate. Replica plating is a technique used to reproduce the layout of colonies on one petri plate on a second or third or fourth petri plate with different antibiotics or food in the agar. One that comes to mind is while replica plating. There haven’t been very many moments at MIT when I’ve felt really awesome and really, really badass (not just a little awesome and badass, but really, really awesome and badass). The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, chapter 6 “Mostly harmless,” admitted Ford with a slightly embarrassed cough. “And what does it say now?” asked Arthur. He had to trim it a bit, but it’s still an improvement.” Riffle is still far from being perfect but with its tougher security, it might become the top choice for those who don't like their business to be easily spied upon.“Oh yes, well I managed to transmit a new entry off to the editor. The technique is also exceptionally efficient, where it takes just a tenth of the time it takes a conventional anonymity network to transfer data. As long as a single server on the network is sound, Riffle is secure. This way, even malicious servers have to shuffle the messages correctly so that things don't get messed up. In the case of Riffle, as Engadget reports, it relies on a verifiable shuffle across all servers for the initial connection then an authentication encryption, where you have to prove the validity of the encrypted message itself, for the rest of the process. This makes it hard for an eavesdropper to link the source with its receiver. Then the messages are sent to the destination in a random order. Mixnet or mix networks are routing protocols that use a chain of proxy servers that take messages from different senders and shuffles them. The secret behind Riffle is the use of a mixnet.
