Thenmozhi Soundararajan is the executive director of Equality Labs, a collective that explores art, story, and digital security. She was one of the first Dalit women online (@dalitdiva). I was thrilled to speak with her about her vision for the digital side of the resistance. Her work blends tech and politics with uncommon savvy.
LF: What do we know about the Trump team’s approach so far?
TS: Well, we know Rudolph Giuliani is serving as [an informal adviser on] cyber-security. Giuliani was responsible for some of the most regressive surveillance policies piloted in New York: stop-and-frisk, which we know led to the decline of relationships between people of color and police institutions, and right before 9/11 he created something called the Demographic Unit, which basically surveilled every mosque in a hundred-mile radius as well as community centers, community businesses, and even people’s homes.
LF: What you’re describing has more to do with policing than cyber-technology.
TS: People think that somehow, when we started to carry devices, we became more unsafe with regard to our right to privacy…. We have to reframe and understand that surveillance was always part of state violence and the US settler/colonial state. If you were black or indigenous, you were surveilled very heavily by the colonial administration that eventually became our government. New York City in 1713 passed the “lantern laws”—because they were afraid of people mobilizing in the dark to resist slavery, anyone who was black or indigenous and over the age of 14 had to carry a lantern. If you didn’t carry a lantern while you were walking, you could be subject to 40 lashes by your master and worse. That was the technology of the moment.
LF: Should we not own smartphones?
TS: I think it’s about harm reduction. We know that these devices are going to leak data to people that want to do bad things to us. We can practice harm reduction by using circumvention tools, like Signal on the phone or DuckDuckGo as an alternative to Google.
LF: How tech-savvy do you need to be?
TS: Many of these things don’t require a lot of technical knowledge; they just require patience and a collaborative community to help you. Equality Labs is a women-of-color, gender-nonconforming, trans-centered tech collective that says we cannot protect ourselves one at a time.
LF: What are people going through?
TS: Equality Labs did a series of rapid-response trainings all throughout the country right after the Trump election, and there was widespread paranoia. People felt very disempowered. The groups that are the most vulnerable are so because of capacity: People are using Google Docs and keeping their databases on Google servers because they don’t have the money for paid services. I think part of it is just being able to provide compassionate, very rational information at a time when there is a lot of disinformation. We’ve lived through massive surveillance in our communities before. This is what the heart of COINTELPRO was. Sometimes people from my mom’s generation feel they have no place at the table because they don’t really understand Facebook. I think elders offer critical understanding—strategies people used, whether it was flags on buildings, code words, phone trees… all of that knowledge we need to bring back into our movements, and we need to bring them back.
LF: On the other side of this, people have real fears about subversive activity and terror attacks, and successive administrations have used those fears to justify increased surveillance. How do you intervene?
TS: The core of my strategy starts with self-care and compassion. We’re very rational to have this deep fear, because it is frightening. We’ve seen people’s lives utterly destroyed. Knowing that, I think that our best defense is actually caring for each other. We just have to be able to tap into the joy that will allow us to pass through this very dark period.

An energy-efficient crystal-less double-FSK transceiver for wireless body-area-network (WBAN) is implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology with 1 V supply. The injection-locking digitally-controlled oscillator (IL-DCO) replaces the crystal oscillator (XO), which leads to reduce energy consumption and system cost. It can detect whether injection locking occurs or not, and calibrates the frequency drift of DCO within 100 kHz accuracy over 100 degrees C temperature variation. The scalable divider-based double-FSK transmitter eliminates the necessity of power-consuming voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The frequency calibration with IL-DCO and transmitter consumes 1 mW and 2 mW, respectively, with a data rate of 10 Mb/s, corresponding to energy consumption of 0.2 nJ per transmitted bit.

Letter from the Director
Updated: Sep 3, 2020
Hello to our dear library supporters,
This is National Library Week. That it’s nothing like we anticipated, goes without saying. In a typical week, TCPL would’ve welcomed 1,125 visits a day, from people checking out books, using the Internet workstations, attending programs. Having experiences, big and small, that contribute to the richness of their lives. And the week would’ve culminated in the Foundation’s day-long, in-person fundraising event, the READATHON, which is now taking place virtually this Saturday (April 25th). In keeping with the times, the American Library Association has changed the original theme – “Find Your Place at the Library” – to “Find the Library at Your Place.” While the TCPL is adhering to NYS restrictions placed on non-essential businesses, the library staff have done what they always do – think creatively to respond and adapt to the needs at hand. During the pause, the Library has added more online community discussions of good books for children, teens and adults. They’re offering virtual story times, like this one here. And more plans are underway to provide additional programming for book recommendations, story times, and National Poetry Month. What’s more, equipment and supplies from the Library’s Makerspace have been deployed for the COVID-19 community response effort. Sewing machines and fabric have been provided to TST BOCES for mask-making for local businesses’ essential employees, and the 3D printer has been put to use for the production of face shields. Looking ahead, there are as many uncertainties for the Library and the Foundation as there are throughout the community. As we learn more about the financial prognosis and revised plans for TCPL and the Foundation, I will keep you informed. These are frightening and unpredictable times. But what gives us hope is knowing that we have some of the most loyal supporters you’ll find. You’ve stood behind the Library, and know you’ll continue to do so, in whatever ways you can, in the days to come. I invite you to join our virtual READATHON on Saturday, to be aired from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on our website, located here: www.tcplfoundation.org/readathon and on our Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/TCPLFoundation/. We hope you’ll find joy in hearing such a wide variety of material read aloud. In gratitude,
Tompkins County Public Library Foundation
The Tompkins County Public Library Foundation sustains and strengthens our library by inspiring community support. The Foundation serves as a bridge between the library and the community, encouraging engagement through philanthropy and participation.

Republican and Democratic governors alike might need a tutorial on the concept of checks and balances, given the dismay they are expressing over the federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona’s SB 1070. Democrats are purportedly worried that it will hurt their chances in tough state elections, while Republicans are calling the lawsuit hypocritical because the federal government is litigating instead of legislating immigration.
Let’s review. As the lawsuit very clearly and eloquently lays out, the Constitution empowers Congress to regulate immigration. The President and his executive branch carry out the laws (and are given the discretion regarding how to exercise them). And when the states pass laws that conflict with this scheme, the federal courts are the referee.
So when the executive branch determines that a state law fundamentally upsets this scheme—in other words, violates the Constitution—the government needs to act. Sorry that the timing stinks. Sorry that Congress hasn’t done its job. Sorry that this may not play out very well with some members of the public who don’t understand that maintaining checks and balances requires action. Sorry that this makes Arizona out to be the constitutional bully that its state legislature is trying so hard to be. But the federal government is defending its constitutional right to regulate immigration law.
You have to wonder if the critics have bothered to read United States v. Arizona, which unfolds like a primer on the structure of the federal/state relationship. The lawsuit is a crisp and detached analysis of federal constitutional obligations and responsibilities regarding immigration and a point by point analysis of the manner in which SB 1070 violates and undermines that scheme. Moreover, it makes the very compelling point that immigration is inherently a federal responsibility precisely because it engages many competing national interests:
In crafting federal immigration law and policy, Congress has necessarily taken into account multiple and often competing national interests. Assuring effective enforcement of the provisions against illegal migration and unlawful presence is a highly important interest, but is not the singular goal of the federal immigration laws. The laws also take into account other uniquely national interests, including facilitating trade and commerce, welcoming those foreign nationals who visit or immigrate lawfully and ensuring their fair and equitable treatment wherever they may reside, responding to humanitarian concerns at the global and individual levels; and otherwise ensuring that the e treatment of aliens present in our nation does not harm our foreign relations with the countries from which they come or jeopardize the treatment of U.S. citizens abroad.
The suit argues that by enacting S.B. 1070, Arizona “attempts to second guess federal policies and re-order federal priorities in the area of immigration enforcement and to directly regulate immigration and the conditions of an alien’s entry and presence in the Unites States despite the fact that these are federal domains.” The suit notes that Arizona explicitly acknowledges that the intent of the law is attrition through enforcement (code for make the laws so harsh that people leave the state) which means that it is not taking into account any of the other vital immigration priorities and, in the process, undermines the federal scheme enacted by Congress.
Of course, under this analysis, the federal government has to fight back. As Maryland governor Martin O’Malley noted:
The president doesn’t have control over some of the timing of things that happen. When those things arise, you can’t be too precious about what’s in it for your own personal political timing or even your party’s timing. When matters like this arise, I think the president has to take a principled stand.
Ironically, that principled stand essentially means defending Congress’s right to pass federal law, even when it can’t or won’t do it. Rather than criticizing the President for moving forward on a crucial constitutional issue, Democrats should be kicking themselves for failing to be brave enough to take the issue on. And Republicans should stop throwing firebombs and start working on immigration reform.

LivingSocial will cut more than half of its workforce, according to an announcement from the company saying it has completed its "initial phase of turnaround."
The privately-held LivingSocial is laying off roughly 160 employees -- about 85 them in Washington. It also plans to shut down its customer service call center in Tucson, Ariz., and outsource those needs to another company -- a move that will cost another 120 jobs and push total job losses up to around 280.
Once all the cuts are in place, LivingSocial will have about 200 employees, the company told The Washington Post. At its peak, LivingSocial had more than 1,000 employees in the DC region and 4,000 around the world.
“While it is never an easy decision to say goodbye to talented colleagues, we believe that we are now in a more stable position to invest in the next phase of our journey,” LivingSocial’s president and chief executive, Gautam Thakar, said in the press release. The company has "aggressively sought operational efficiencies through simplification, automation and outsourcing" with the goal of breaking even on its voucher business, he said.
The latest job cuts are part of a series of layoffs. The local company cut 400 jobs in 2014 and another 200 in October of last year. Competitor Groupon has also struggled: In September it announced it would lay off 1,100 people -- roughly 10 percent of its workforce -- and close operations in six countries.
LivingSocial plans to move away from the voucher business, but hopes to expand "card-linked" discounts, according to the press release. The company is trying out a program called Restaurant Plus in handful of cities that works by letting customers reserve a deal with payment card information on file, but not charging them for it until it's actually used.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled Tucson, Ariz. We regret the error.

Welcome and thanks for visiting...
Basics of Hockey Competition
Ice hockey is a contact sport where two teams of six players attempt to shoot a puck into their opponent's goal. Each team typically consists of three forwards, two defenders, and a goalkeeper played on ice.
The surface typically measures 60 meters by 26 meters, with goals at either end. The ice is divided into five zones, with the middle three referred to as the defending zone. The neutral zone and the attacking zones. There are nine face-off spots or circles.
The only places the park can be dropped to begin or resume play. An important defensive tactic in ice hockey is checking where a player tries to prevent their opponent from advancing towards the goal. There are two main types of checks, stick, check, and body checks, but they are only committed against a player who has control of the puck or the last player to control it immediately after giving it up.
Body checking is when a player bumps or slams into an opponent with their hip or shoulder, blocking their progress or throwing them off balance. However, body checking is not allowed in women's competitions. Stick checking, poke checking, sweep checking, or legal uses of the stick to obtain possession of the puck. A key strategy in ice hockey is the use of the full check, which is the act of attacking the opposition in their defensive zone.
Each team will use their unique system, but the two-one-two is the most basic for checks system. Two forwards will go deep, pressurizing the opposing defenders. The third forward stays high while the defenders stay at the blue line.
An ice hockey game is normally three periods of 20 minutes, but if a tie occurs, a sudden-death overtime period is played, with the team scoring first declared the winner. If there are no goals in overtime, a penalty shootout takes place. However, in the gold medal game, there is no penalty shootout. Teams play an additional 20 minute overtime period or until a goal is scored. If both teams fail to score in this period, further overtime will be played until a decisive goal is scored.

Hebridean Harmony is a new idea to form a singing group for cancer patients and relatives in the Lewis area.
It follows the model of Tenovus, a Welsh cancer support charity.
Tenovus began with just ten people, hence the name ‘Ten of Us’, but has grown to 16 large choirs across Wales.
Cancer patients, survivors, relatives and others have a lot of fun, and find it a great benefit in dealing with the issues they face.
The initiative in Lewis comes from Christine Rushworth who stays in Marvig, South Lochs.
She was diagnosed with bowel cancer in October 2016. Surgery at Raigmore appears to have completely removed the cancer.
However, other complications resulted in two years of malnutrition, too many emergency admissions to hospital and two further surgeries. Eventually she returned to good health.
In her darkest period Christine spent time in Wales, which is how she came to benefit from a Tenovus Choir, and why she is now keen to bring similar benefits to the Islands.
Christine is not alone in the effort to bring the to life.
Western Isles Cancer Care Initiative (WICCI) who have recently moved into new premises on Cromwell Street in Stornoway, are also backing the choir.
Helen Sanderson, the WICCI Development Manager, said she had the idea herself but was short of time to kick it off.
Initial sessions of the choir will take place at the new WICCI Centre.
Further support comes from Kirsty Wade, who runs the Move More Project.
Move More is also concerned with bringing health and other benefits to people with serious conditions.
A crucial factor in the success of the Welsh choirs is their team of amazing choir leaders.
They have to be not only musically expert, but must also have the spark to bring people out of themselves to have fun.
Fortunately, Hebridean Harmony has the right person in Carole Miller.
She plays the piano and flute, and also the harp.
After study at the Royal Conservatoire, Scotland she pursued a career including performing, teaching, examining for two music exam boards, and adjudicating at the Mods.
It was as a teacher that she became aware of the benefits of singing, working first with children and then adults.
She has thirty years of choir experience and is delighted to be working with Hebridean Harmony.
The group’s Facebook page, @hebrideanharmony, is already gathering “likes” and “shares”, and posters for the choir are appearing around the town.
The first sessions will take place on Tuesday 6th August at 2.30pm and Wednesday 7th August at 7pm, at the WICCI Centre, next to Kopi Java Cafe on Cromwell Street.
There are positively no auditions to join the choir.
As their poster says: “If you can sing, squeak, croak or groan, and have some connection with cancer, you’re in.”
In fact, not only connections to cancer, but connections to any serious condition will make you welcome.
The regular session day and time is yet to be decided. Christine is hoping that plenty will come to the initial sessions, and that the best times to suit people will be worked out then.

This short article shares 12 consecutive Pro Capture H photographs of a sparrow pond hop at ISO-6400, captured handheld using an E-M1X and M.Zuiko 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 IS zoom. These images were captured through my kitchen window using my standard Pro Capture H settings (60 frames-per-second, 15 Pre Shutter Frames, Frame Limiter set to 15).
This article discusses my favourite M.Zuiko lens, the reasons behind this choice, as well as sharing a range of photographs captured with it. After creating well over 100,000 images with my M4/3 camera gear over the past 18 months or so, one lens stands out as my favourite M.Zuiko lens. The M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 mm f/2.8 zoom.
This article shares some M.Zuiko 100-400 Pro Capture H sample handheld images. All were captured using an OM-D E-M1X along with an M.Zuiko MC-14 teleconverter. All photographs are shown as full frame captures without any cropping.
This article shares a moment of anticipation as a bird is diving to feed, photographed handheld using Pro Capture H.
This article discusses some basic bird photographer etiquette and shares some images of a kinglet in flight. A few days ago I was out attempting to capture some new images of birds. Not having much luck at some area locations, I decided to do a quick stop at LaSalle Park before heading home.
This article features an M.Zuiko 75-300 II Pro Capture H image run of a sparrow taking flight. This sequence was shot with the M.Zuiko 75-300 mm f/4.8-6.7 II wide open at f/6.7, and with the lens fully extended to 300 mm (efov 600 mm). A shutter speed of 1/2500 was used, along with ISO-1600 (Auto-ISO setting used). Exposure compensation was set to -0.7 step. I was situated 4.3 metres (~14 feet) away from the subject bird.
This article features a selection of ‘bird in the hand’ images captured during a recent visit to Hendrie Valley. All of these photographs were taken using the Olympus Pro Capture H mode with an OM-D E-M1X.
Late August through to mid September is one of the best times in Southern Ontario to photograph the American goldfinch. Our backyard has quite a few plantings of Echinacea, commonly called coneflowers. As a photographer I look forward to these flowers wilting and drying up. Why? American goldfinch like to eat the seeds from these flower heads… thus creating some good opportunities to photograph these skittish, quick birds.

View Full Version : How Long Can You Keep Shotshells?
September 16, 2002, 10:34 PM
How long do you think you can keep shotshells if they are kept in cool and dry place?
I just got 1,000 rounds of Federal Tactical 00 buckshots from a friend at a price I could not refuse. He got them back in 1999 and has kept them in his closet enclosed in ammo cans. The A/C in his house is always on so the temp has never gone higher than 76 or 77 degrees for more than a day or two at most during that time.
I want to keep some stashed for "just-in-case" need. I will keep them in same manner (ammo can ans air conditioned closet). I would think ammo kept in this condition should last 10 years or more?

Let me preface this with the admission that I really don't know what I'm talking about... but here's my $.02...
People shoot up mil surp ammo that is 50 years+ old all the time. No real issues (other than a slight "warming" of the loads).
I know of a guy who took a big Alaskan moose with an original box of factory .33 WCF (well, one round out of the box)... don't know age but was early part of the century.
My guess is that it varies by manufacturing technique, storage conditions, type of powder, type of primer, phase of the moon and price of beer in Bolivia... but the stuff will probably be good for longer than you can keep it around without shooting it up! ;)

Have some Remington Express out in the barn thats probably 15+ years old. Stored in the carton inside a steel case from a first aid kit. Seems to seal up OK but not airtight or anything. Still goes bang when you pull the trigger

I've fired ammo from WWII with good results. Sme was a mess of .45 ACP and our battalion in Germany was issued an enourmous amount of .50 caliber for a gunnery density. No problems with the .50 ammo that I remember.
Ammo these days is probably much better than ammo of those days.
Cool and dry seems best.

Long ago, the NRA tested some 22 ammo by keeping some of it in a car trunk in the summer and some cool and dry in a house for the same amount of time.Some was used to fire control groups. After 3 months or so, they benchtested the two using a Model 52 target rifle, a machine rest, and on an indoor range to keep everything as unvariable as possible. The "Inside" ammo shot incrementally smaller groups. The conclusion was that a longer time and/or more extreme temp changes would create more variance.
Ammo kept cool and dry seems to last a very long time w/o deterioration.

I shot sporting clays this past Saturday with a gentleman who was burning up some old Winchester AAs. He had purchased them in 1967. Not a single misfire or malfunction in his Remington 1100.

I have quite a bit of shotgun ammunition my father bought in the late 60's. I found a big wooden box of it in his unheated garage in the late 80's. It still works fine.

not really sure?
shot some paper hulled 12ga. last month.
by the way,anybody know when they quit making them:confused: don't remember manufacterer.

I reload and I am still using up some "Dupont" PB powder that I bought in the mid '70s. Still works good, I just kept it well sealed and dry.:cool:

I took 1 round from 50 random box and give it to my brother this morning to got try it out. He said they all fired perfectly and couldn't tell the difference from the stuff he bought few weeks ago. Every ammo I check look brand new.
This evening I took my wife's vacuum sealer and packed 10 boxes (50 rounds) into each sealed plastic bag. I didn't have any descissant (thing that sucks up moisture) so I wraped a handful of dried rice in a paper towel and put it inside each bag. Then I sealed 2 sealed bags into another bag (100 rounds) along with more wraped rice. I bagged total of 700 rounds and put it all away in my closet.
That ammo should stay good until I'm too old to shoot... or until I finish shooting it :D

Probably not what you shot, but Federal Gold Medal Paper is still manufactured today. It is my favorite competition shotshell.

I've still got some Remington blue paper 3" buckshot loads, probably made in the 60's. I use them for coyotes and they work fine.
I shot a sporting clays match a couple months ago and used some Sears target loads and some Alcan loads that I got in a gun buy, both made in the 60's. All 50 fired great, in fact, the Sears loads did better than the new loads I bought.

A few years ago I went clay pigeon shooting with some Peters paper-hull shells that were made in the late 1920s.
September 18, 2002, 04:31 PM
I can remember back in the 70's, my friends father owning a few shotguns and looking over the ammo. The shells back then were wrapped in something like a cardboard wrapping. Vulnerable to moisture of anykind (they would swell if in a hot moist area). Today, if kept in a dry storage area, I believe the shotgun shells produced could outlast a human being, twice! :D Its kinda nice to know.

I recently wanted to test my Remington 870 Police. I dug up a 25-rd box of shotshells out of the closet. They were at least 32 years old. They still had the "Gemco" price label on them. Remember when "Target" used to be "Gemco?" They all fired perfectly, even though the brass was rather corroded & Green.
September 19, 2002, 11:24 PM
Yeah, just recently got a shotgun again after not having one for, oh, 15 years I guess: the shells I still have from my dove shooting days (80 thru 85) still work just fine!

I've got some Winchester AA's, 12 ga., that I bought in Savannah, GA, in 1988...last time I used four boxes from the last case--old, TWENTY-round cases, BTW--I shot a 99x100...and the shells didin't miss the high three...I did, stopped, shot behind...oh, well, that's what happens when you get old and slow....mikey357

Ultrasonic Flowmeter Introduction and Features
Ultrasonic flow meters are meters that measure the flow by detecting the effect of fluid flow on the ultrasound beam (or ultrasound pulse).
According to the principle of signal detection, ultrasonic flowmeter can be divided into propagation velocity difference method (direct time difference method, time difference method, phase difference method and frequency difference method), beam offset method, Doppler method, cross correlation method, spatial filtering method. And noise law, etc.
Ultrasonic flowmeter is the same as electromagnetic flowmeter. It is an unobstructed flowmeter because it does not have any obstruction parts. It is a kind of flowmeter suitable for solving difficult flow measurement problems, especially in large-diameter flow measurement. The advantage is that it is one of the fastest growing types of flow meters.
Unique signal digital processing technology makes the meter measurement signal more stable, anti-interference ability and more accurate measurement.
No mechanical transmission parts are not easy to damage, maintenance-free and long life.
The circuit is more optimized and integrated; the power consumption is low and the reliability is high.
Intelligent standard signal output, friendly man-machine interface, multiple secondary signal output, for you to choose.
Pipe-type small pipe diameter measurement is economical and convenient, and the measurement accuracy is high.
Third, gas turbine flowmeter daily inspection
1. Look at the display: Observe the total amount, instantaneous, temperature, pressure, and battery power. If the abnormality is reported in time.
2. Listen to the running sound of the flowmeter. (Method) The flowmeter should have no noise when it is running normally. If there is a large abnormal noise, it can be judged as damage to the movement of the movement (for example). It needs to be reported and processed in time.
3, data comparison, the output of the first 3 to 5 days before the statistics, if there is no major change, the flowmeter runs normally, such as the successive decrement phenomenon, the gas turbine flowmeter impeller (shaft, shaft core), filtration There is a problem with the device. Need to be reported in time for processing
4, gas turbine flowmeter filling lubricant
(1) Instrument refueling is an important part of the daily maintenance work of the instrument. Lubricating oil is mainly for instrument bearing; lubricating oil can protect the instrument bearing, reduce friction, reduce wear and prolong the operation cycle of the instrument;
(2) Regularly adding lubricating oil can effectively reduce the maintenance rate of the instrument and reduce the maintenance cost;
(3) Ensure the measurement accuracy of the flowmeter. "Measuring is counting money." why would you said this? The management of production and operation accounting, energy saving, cost accounting, etc. is an important production link of enterprise management. If the measurement is not in place, it will affect the economic efficiency and reputation of the enterprise. Therefore, the daily maintenance of the instrument is very important.
Plug-in electromagnetic flowmeter features
Corrosion-resistant full stainless steel material, ABS full mold production probe structure is simple, firm, no moving parts, long service life, reliable measurement, strong anti-interference ability, small size, light weight, easy installation, small maintenance range, large measurement range, temperature-free measurement The influence of changes in density, pressure, viscosity, conductivity, etc., zero pressure loss can be installed and disassembled under continuous flow, which brings convenience to the user's maintenance. The manufacturing cost and installation cost are lower than the general electromagnetic flowmeter. It is especially suitable for large and medium-diameter pipeline flow measurement. It adopts advanced processing technology, solid-state packaging, vibration resistance and long life. It makes the meter have good measurement accuracy and stability. The flowmeter not only has 4-20mA current signal output, but also has 1-2000HZ frequency output digital communication output: RS485, RS232, HART, Modbus.
