Zapped: A man and woman are charged over an incident where a University of Wollongong student is hit with a stun gun while parking his car at Keiraville. 

“In order to do that, we give candidates a small programming take-home project in Sibilant, an obscure Lisp dialect that most people have never heard of (and that we don’t use in production),” Stein said. “The way they complete this project is a much stronger signal for their future contribution to our team than how many years they have been programing in Clojure or Python, which are our two main languages.”

A Penn Battle II spinning reel: Available in eight models, the Battle II sports a full-metal body, sideplate and rotor, HT-100 carbon-fiber drag washers, and line-capacity rings. Models start at the ultralight 1000 size, which offers 9 pounds of max drag, a 5.2-to-1 gear ratio, and 160 yards of 6-pound braid capacity. On the top end, the Battle II 8000 comes with 30 pounds of max drag, a 5.3-to-1 ratio and 475 yards of 50-pound braid capacity. Battle IIs cost $70.69 to $126.73.

“- Each phase has 4 4-turn coils, and the 3 phases are overlapped. This is a full-pitch winding. – This winding pattern results in a large area of end-turn, so the actual “active” area of the stator is unfortunately small – less than half the area of the PCB actually produces torque. – The traces neck down and become thinner within the active area. Presumably this is to reduce eddy current losses from the magnets swinging over the traces. – The hall sensors are through-hole halls, surface mounted sideways into cutouts in the PCB, so they add almost no additional thickness. – The empty space around the edges of the board are filled with radial strips of copper. I’m not really sure why. Maybe for thermal reasons? The edge of the board is heatsinked to the aluminum housing through a ring of thermal pad.”

The sensor placement and advanced plate sleeve designs make the unit less susceptible to noise or timing fluctuations. There is an LED indicator for cam and sync for ease of phasing the distributor. Once the system is live, timing curve adjustments are easy with the FAST control panel.

GOP SPLIT AS BANKS TAKE ON GUN INDUSTRY: “Major banks are cutting off business with the gun industry, roiling Republicans who want to respect the financial decisions of private institutions while still showing their unyielding support of the Second Amendment,” POLITICO’s Zachary Warmbrodt reports. “Some Republicans, enraged at moves by Citigroup and Bank of America to distance themselves from some retailers and gun manufacturers, have called on government agencies to cancel contracts with the banks and defer deregulation proposals that would benefit them. But other Republicans want to keep their hands off, saying lenders are free to decide who they do business with. It’s a conundrum that puts the free-market principles at odds with gun rights, and Republicans across the board are genuinely split over how to react to moves by some of the biggest financial institutions in the country.” Full story.

The other four men in the minivan are awaiting a court hearing on charges of receiving stolen property. Police allege they tossed stolen bank checks from the minivan during the chase. The driver of the minivan, Mitchell L. Knight, faces more serious charges, including fleeing and eluding, and reckless endangerment.

There remains one in the western hemisphere, AFAIK. In Yorkshire. Not inexpensive, but, in the dealing I had with them, quite good material, and quite reasonable people to deal with. (realwroughtiron.com, IIRC)
