Moms teach kids to stick to a routine while dads inspire
them to be more flexible. Goofing off seems to come easier to dads. Watching
dad feel free enough to be wacky, without concentrating on schedules or on how
long it takes food to cook, can be a valuable lesson for kids. Moms still bear
most of the burden for making sure the house is clean, dinner is on the table,
and the kids are on schedule. Dads teach kids to take life less seriously and
have some serious fun.
Dads are different in the way they nurture and express their
affection, and kids love it. For example, a dad may play in a puddle with his
kidsit's his way of telling his kids that he enjoys their kind of fun because
he loves them.
What do dads often do with kids different from mom? They go
outside and play ball, build a model or some furniture, repair a car, play a
computer game, wrestle around on the floor, and help kids find creative
approaches to tackle their homework. All of these activities, if done with
compassion and respect, build a child's self-confidence.

Steak Frites -- DC
I've got a friend who's nostalic for the steak frites she used to eat as a student in Paris -- she keeps bringing it up, wistfully breathing "ah, bearnaise sauce." She's got a reason for a celebratory dinner or lunch coming up, so I thought I'd ask you all where you'd suggest I might take her to satisfy this craving. Note that we're (supposed to be) on tight budgets, and I'm not asking for the fanciest or most expensive, necessarily, or anything particularly formal -- though I'm willing to splurge a little. I believe Les Halles used to be the place to go for this kind of thing, but that its current reputation isn't so good -- is that right? I'll keep checking menus, myself, but meanwhile hoped to get some of that wonderful and informed CH opinion. Thanks!!
I like the steak frites at the bar at Corduroy. It is not served with bernaise sauce though. I used to like Bistrot du Coin, but have not been impressed on recent visits.
Lavandou in cleveland park does a pretty decent job and monday night they offer free corkage, so you can byob. You can go to cleveland park wine store, get some wine then go to lavandou and get the hangar with fries for $19.
On a tight budget why not Les Halles? As I remember the steak frites were very good (they should be it is their signature dish) and they have very reasonable prices for DC. I think they even have a price fix menu if you go early enough that isn't a bad deal either. I haven't had them at Bistro D'Oc, but I have had other things that were really good.
re: ktmoomau
I agree with this assessment. I think their steak frites also comes some nice, lightly-dressed greens, too. Very good deal. You can also get the Bearnaise sauce on the side, I believe.
My two favorite places for steak frites are not in DC: Le Mannequin Pis in Olney and Cafe De Paris in Columbia.
Overwood Grill in Old Town does a decent hangar steak. $18.95. The real winner though is the lunch skirt steak for $12; big beefy flavor.
220 N Lee St, Alexandria, VA 22314
Mon Ami Gabi - it's a chain but it's good. It's also on the casual side.
You might want to try Bristro Francais in Georgetown. They have a 3-course meal available (at somewhat off-times: before 7 pm or after 10:30 pm) for $22, which includes a glass of wine, appetizer, entree, and dessert. This should definitely be in budget. Not 100% sure whether they have steak frites but it's worth calling to find out. (They always have a ton of specials not listed on their website: www.bistrofrancaisdc.com)
Bistro Francais
3124-28 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20007
Thanks everyone, this is really helpful! You've reminded me of places I hadn't thought of myself, which is great, along with the good advice. I actually think we may have to try a few of these :) For now, I'm leaning toward places that have the most French vibe...
....And I think the bearnaise sauce may be important. So, just wondering -- do you know if the shallot sauce at Lavandou is like a bearnaise? (Can you tell how clueless I am about this?) Bistrot d'Oc was the first place I had thought of, but the hanger steak does not seem to come with bearnaise, though there is a NY strip with bearnaise, only on the lunch menu. Anybody recommend that or have any insight?
Since nobody's saying anything bad about Les Halles, I'm tempted to put that at the top of the list, since it is supposed to be known for this very thing -- and thanks debit for the bearnaise on the side suggestion.
I'll keep taking recommendations, if anybody has them. And I'll definitely make a note of all of them, since this can be an ongoing project for us -- thanks!!
re: mselectra
I prefer Les Halles over the other places in DC - and I've been to a few of them. Prices are reasonable, the service is good and the food is consistent. I live in Baltimore and dine there at least once a month.
re: mselectra
You can sub the shallot sauce (red wine, demi, shallot, based) for bernaise, they are acomodating. All the options mentioned above are good, there are no absolutes when talking about food. I only go to lavandou b/c its next to my apartment, but the onglet and frites are very good and you can't beat byob.
re: mselectra
In terms of bernaise sauce, I'm sure you can ask for it on the side at Bistro D'Oc. The steak is so delicious there that its worth calling to find out if you can get a sauce with it.
I personally enjoy eating the steak without anything and then dipping the fries in the steak's natural juices. Even when I get a bernaise sauce at Bistro du Coin, I just use it for my fries.
re: mselectra
Bearnaise sauce traditionally contains shallots, but its signature flavor is tarragon. It is also made with wine and/or vinegar. Then it is folded into a classic hollandaise sauce which contains egg yolks, lemon or wine vinegar, butter, and sometimes cream.
But shallot sauce can also made by deglazing the pan with shallots and wine, then reducing the wine, then swirling in cold butter. There might be an herb such as rosemary, sage or thyme.
So, if your friend really has a taste for Bearnaise, she will probably want the real thing, because it's all about the tarragon (and shallots) and egg yolkiness.
It makes me a little sad when people don't report back after getting suggestions here --
So I did want to report that I finally had the chance to take my friend out for her celebration dinner of steak frites. We went to Bistro d'Oc and had a really wonderful time. She got bearnaise sauce on the side with her steak, and I don't know when I last saw someone in such ecstasy over food. This woman loves bearnaise sauce, it was a joy to behold. (Apparently she's been satisfying her craving with the Trader Joe's version, not exactly the same thing.)
Enjoyed all the food, and especially the friendly and relaxed service and atmosphere that really allowed us to appreciate it.
Thanks to you all for your advice.

Dietary Supplement
Moringa Oleifera
Moringa is considered to be one of the richest botanical sources of nutrients on earth. In fact, nutrient-dense Moringa is often referred to as a super food or miracle plant, with virtually every part of the tree being of value. Gram-for-gram, Moringa has higher amounts of several different vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, A, calcium and potassium, than the common foods often associated with these nutrients. In addition, Moringa leaves contain all of the essential amino acids, in good proportion, which are the building blocks of protein. Moringa is also a source of antioxidants and other naturally-occurring phytonutrients. Moringa oleifera is the best known and most widely cultivated of the 13 species of the genus Moringaeceae.
Futurebiotics Moringa is a 100% vegetarian supplement that provides 5000mg of premium Moringa leaves (from 100mg 50:1 Moringa oleifera leaf extract) in every capsule.
Contains no added yeast, sugar, salt, starch, soy, wheat, gluten, dairy, artificial colors, preservatives or animal products.

Head Up Lyrics - Wayne
If I shine, and no one's there to see,
was it all in the mind, of the one who made me?
If I fall, do the same hands reach out?
If I cry, would you come
without a doubt, to say
Head up,
Let me draw the lines,
and point out the fools,
and give a little more time,
All I have, is all I need,
Sounds good, until I'm on my knees.
Would you pick me up, and put me back in place,
With a feeling inside born from an honest look on my face
and say,
Head up,
Let me draw the lines,
and point out the fools,
and give a little more time.
Head up,
Let me heal this wound
and mend a heart,
that broke a little too soon.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Ben Brust scored 17 points and Wisconsin devastated American with a 22-5 run to close the first half in a 75-35 victory Thursday before a friendly crowd in the NCAA tournament.
The second-seeded Badgers (27-7) recovered from a brief first-half rut and seven-point deficit to extinguish the dreams of the 15th-seeded Eagles (20-13), champions of the Patriot League.
After Wisconsin was ousted in the first round last year as a fifth seed, Brust made sure his senior season didn't end the same way. He attacked the glass for buckets on back-to-back possessions, ending with a 3-point play with 3:33 left in the first half to give Wisconsin a 23-20 lead.
The rout was on. The Badgers hit 57 percent in the second half.
John Schoof had 11 points for American.

JOS, Nigeria – Two car bombs exploded at a bustling bus terminal and market in Nigeria's central city of Jos on Tuesday, killing at least 118 people, wounding dozens and leaving bloodied bodies amid the flaming debris.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the twin car bombs. But they bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group that abducted nearly 300 schoolgirls last month and has repeatedly targeted bus stations and other locations where large numbers of people gather in its campaign to impose Islamic law on Nigeria.
The second blast came half an hour after the first, killing some of the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene.
TV actor accused of shooting wife dead
Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show The Shield, was arrested Tuesday after authorities said he called 911 and told an operator he shot his wife.
April Jace, 40, was shot multiple times and was found dead in a hallway of the family home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said the killing occurred during an argument Monday night while the couple's two young sons were there.
Jace, 51, is best known as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe on FX's The Shield.
Conservative critic admits illegal gift
Conservative political commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza, who made the film 2016: Obama's America, pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating U.S. campaign contribution law by using straw donors to exceed federal limits.
D'Souza's guilty plea came on the day he was to begin trial on felony charges that he illegally reimbursed two close associates for contributing a total of $20,000 in 2012 to Senate candidate Wendy Long, a New York Republican. Federal law limits campaign contributions to $5,000 per individual in an election cycle.
Senate leader wins over tea party rival
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell dispatched his tea party challenger with ease Tuesday on the busiest primary night of the year to date, and Democrats turned to two women, Alison Lundergan Grimes to oppose him in Kentucky and Michelle Nunn to fight for Georgia, in elections next fall with control of the Senate at stake.
Republicans must gain six seats to win a Senate majority, and party leaders have made it a priority to avoid the presence of candidates on the ballot this fall who are seen as too conservative or unsteady – or both – to prevail in winnable races.
Koch brothers fight Detroit bailout deal
Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group supported by industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, has launched an effort to torpedo a proposed settlement in the Detroit bankruptcy case.
The organization is contacting 90,000 conservatives in Michigan and encouraging them to rally against a plan to provide $195 million in state money to help settle Detroit pension holders' claims in the case, a key element of the deal.
The group has threatened to run ads against members of the Republican-controlled legislature who vote in favor of the appropriation before the state's August primary. An initial legislative vote is planned for today.
Black nationalist author, ex-spy dies
Sam Greenlee, a onetime Foreign Service officer whose 1969 novel and a subsequent film, both called The Spook Who Sat by the Door, became underground sensations during the black nationalist movement, died Monday at his home in Chicago. He was 83.
In his novel, Greenlee drew on his work with the U.S. Information Agency but transformed the central character into a black CIA officer who quits the spy agency in disgust. The character returns to his native Chicago, where he puts his CIA training to use by organizing street gangs into a paramilitary black revolutionary movement that spreads nationwide.
Flooded Balkans face dead livestock
A new calamity emerged Tuesday in the flood-hit Balkans as rescue workers battled overflowing rivers – and were confronted by wastelands of drowned livestock.
As the rainfall stopped and temperatures rose, the withdrawing floodwaters revealed a harrowing sight: thousands of dead cows, pigs, sheep, dogs and other animals left behind as their panicked owners fled.
There are tons of dead animals that we must dispose of, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic told a government meeting.
Record flooding in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia in the past week has forced half a million people from their homes and led to at least 44 deaths.
Video casts doubt in fatal Israel clash
Security-camera video showing two unarmed Palestinians crumpling to the ground during a lull in a stone-throwing clash with Israeli soldiers revived allegations by human rights activists Tuesday that troops often use excessive force.
Israeli rights group B'Tselem said the images back its findings that troops killed the teens without cause Thursday by firing live rounds from more than 200 yards away. The soldiers were in zero danger at the time, said Sarit Michaeli of B'Tselem.
The United Nations and the U.S. State Department called on the Israeli authorities to conduct a transparent investigation.

I'm going into a neighborhood I don't like to drive in, playing
970 SEA -202 for the Focus Play of the day.
Give me King Felix vs. a Toronto team off that NEVER beats David Price, but just did, off 19 innings, then to the Airport flying cross country to get to Sea. CAN THEIR BE A WORST SPOT??
I KNOW this is unpopular to say, but I don't need to find some "silly" -200 other favorite to parlay this into to make me feel like I'm not laying -200. I am VERY HAPPY to just lay -200 (which I have to do in a parlay anyways), with a team I'm SURE would win in this situation over 2/3 of the time.
Also with a total of under 7, I have ZERO desire to sweat out -1.5 in my bet. I don't need Sea to be up 2-1 after 6 innings and stare at a Sea -400 line, BUT I'm losing vs. the -1.5 line............
Good luck to all........
Love the play.

Mr. Fezzik, the last time I layed -200 in MLB, was when I took Fernando Valenzuela on the mound, and the Dodgers were on the road vs. the lowly Cubs, with the Dodgers winning 1-0. I said I'd never lay -200 or more again. I guess we should never say never, as you have made up my mind for me tonight. For the first time in many seasons, I was considering Seattle tonight. I'm on "The King" -220. Everything you said, moved me, particularly the -1 1/2 run line option. Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 teams, who if they had "The King" as a starter, he would win 30 games.
I know I piss off the pregamers when I say this, but I HATE this silly PARLAY -200 to -200.
While I understand the reluctance to not lay -200, U ARE STILL LAYING IT. All it does is INCREASE your bet if your other leg wins, and decrease it to zero if your other leg loses it.
Without going nuts talking Sharp(e) ? Ratios, optimal betting, getting the right number, etc, it's FINE to lay -200, -300, -700. MANY pros lay bets like this all the time (ok typically not -200s in MLB). BUT.............NO REASON to EVERY parlay it (unless you find a correlation).

Small mammals vanish in Northern Australia
A couple of months ago I travelled to Kakadu National Park in Australia's top end to join a team of ecologists monitoring mammal numbers in the park. I was there to report for Science [paywall] on why many of northern Australia's small mammals are in precipitous decline, despite being in an area of largely intact tracts of vegetation. Tellingly, in the time I was there, and the 2 weeks that followed, just 3 small mammals were trapped. In the late 1980s, 30-40 per night would have been the norm.
The declines aren't just occurring in Kakadu — right across Australia's north, quolls, bandicoots, and native rodents are facing almost inevitable extinction unless the causes for their falling numbers are identified and addressed. The key culprits, it turns out, are feral cats and poor fire management.
Here's the summary [full article is behind paywall]:
In northern Australia, mammal populations are in free fall. Over the past 2 decades, scientists have documented sharp declines in quolls, bandicoots, and other native fauna. The plight of these animals has grown so desperate that in July, the Australian government appointed the nation's first threatened species commissioner, Gregory Andrews, a Department of the Environment staffer now tasked with devising broad approaches to stem the tide of extinctions. The solutions are not obvious, but mounting evidence points to the arch villain: feral cats, aided and abetted by fire. The Australian Wildlife Conservancy estimates that every day in Australia, an astounding 75 million animals fall prey to roughly 15 million feral cats.
What is good mental health?
When it comes to mental health, conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder often come to mind. But does this mean that being without mental illness is the same as being mentally healthy?

Natural value: Pricing ecosystems, and its implications for conservation policy
You don't have to look far to find stories of species or ecosystems under threat. Whether it's the critically endangered black rhinoceros in Africa, or the local wetlands under threat from urban sprawl, our collective failure to protect the world's natural heritage can seem exasperating.
But in a world where resources to put toward protection are limited, making decisions about where to direct our efforts, or how to prioritise our donations, can be equally as frustrating. And it's not just individuals who struggle with these choices — governments too are often faced with difficult decisions.
So how do we go about placing a value on our natural heritage? Should we even try to weigh the relative merits of saving one species or one ecosystem over another? And how can government policies help to guide us through the murky waters of environmental decision making?
To answers some of these questions, I was joined on Up Close recently by Brendan Wintle, a conservation ecologist who has been working with economists and policy makers to improve environmental decision making. Brendan is based at the School of Botany, at the University of Melbourne, and he's also Deputy Director of the National Environmental Research Program Environmental Decisions Hub.
Ribosomes: Unlocking the secrets to your cellular protein factories
If I were to say the word 'protein', you'd probably think of a juicy steak, or perhaps a muscle-building protein shake. But in our bodies, proteins give us far more than just muscular bulk. They're the enzymes that carry out cellular reactions — the microscopic sensors that allow us to detect the smell of a rose, or the pain of a burn. They're the cement that connects our cells together, give our nose cartilage its rigidity and our skin its elasticity. And they serve all of these incredible functions in organisms from the lowly bacterium, to the majestic sequoia, and everything in between.
But proteins, in their myriad forms, could not exist without a complex piece of cellular machinery known as the ribosome. As important as it is, the ribosome — unlike the proteins it makes — is hardly a household name.
A few weeks ago on Up Close, I spoke to Ada Yonath, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009 for her pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome. She is now the Director of the Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Center for Biomolecular Structure and Assembly at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
Altered expression: Epigenetics and its influence on human development
Our genetic make-up determines a lot about who we are – it determines whether we have blue eyes or brown, what blood group we have, or whether we're predisposed to cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anaemia. But we're beginning to learn that we're far more than the sum of our genetic parts. Our genes only tell part of the story of who we are.
Just as important as what genes we've inherited from our parents, is how those genes are switched on and off throughout our lifetime. This complex system of genetic regulation has been the focus of the burgeoning field of epigenetics.
I was joined on Up Close recently by geneticist Marnie Blewitt. We chatted about epigenetics and her work on one of the coolest areas of epigenetics – X inactivation. Marnie heads a lab that studies epigenetics at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.
Could our furry friends' features be the result of stem cell defects?
In the 1950s, Russian fox fur breeder Dmitri Belyaev embarked on a monumental experiment in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk. He wanted to see if he could domesticate wild foxes by selectively breeding only the tamest in each generation. He was essentially trying to re-run thousands of years of history — dogs and many of our farm animals were domesticated several thousand years ago, and scientists are still debating exactly how this occurred.
The Novosibirsk experiment is noteworthy not only because it revealed that tameness could indeed be bred into a line of wild animals after only a few generations. Nor because the landmark experiment is still running, sixty years on. It is noteworthy because it has demonstrated another aspect of domestication that biologists since Charles Darwin have puzzled over — that domesticated animals aren't just tame, but they are cute to boot. Many have floppy ears, baby faces and endearing patches of white fur that could well spell death for an animal in the wild. In the Novosibirsk experiment, foxes started looking more like pets over the generations, even though the sole criterion for selection was tameness.
A threesome of academics has now come up with a hypothesis that could explain why selecting for a docile behaviour bring with it the suite of physical characteristics known as 'domestication syndrome.' According to the hypothesis, it could all come down to a group of stem cells called neural crest cells. These cells form near the spinal cord and then march across the developing vertebrate embryo to form pigment-producing melanocytes; bone, cartilage and teeth in the skull; and portions of the adrenal gland and brain.
The question that this hypothesis raises is: could small changes to neural crest cell gene expression be at the centre of domestication syndrome's disparate features? Experimental evidence will need to sort the answer out to that, but it's an intriguing idea nonetheless.
I wrote a brief article on the paper for Cosmos — check it out here.

Battery vendors push ultracapacitor wrappers to give Li-ions more bite
A pair of battery vendors are hoping that a new design which incorporates the use of an ultracapacitor material will help to improve and extend the life of lithium-ion battery packs. Paper Battery Company and TWS say they have developed a system which wraps a conventional lithium-ion battery pack in a sheet of ultracapacitor …
"They can now allow processors to work at full power"
Oh, because right now I'm only using what, 75% power ?
This may be an interesting idea, I don't know, but that sentence has some powerful cognitive dissonance. An ultracapacitor will allow burst mode functionality for sure, but only for as long as it holds energy to do so. And I don't suppose we're talking megawatts, here.
Once said capacitor is empty, the processor (and the rest of the power-hungry elements of which there are a few more than just that one) will have to rely on plain old socket power, or power from the rest of the battery.
And the ultracapacitor will not recharge itself faster than current can get to it, no matter what magical graphene/unicorn horn you put in it.
Re: "They can now allow processors to work at full power"
Yeah, it can only be burst mode.
But consider that you have a lot of processors nowadays that can sit idle and then slowly ramp up with demand. That could, potentially, be limited by the power supply capabilities and you might see some power / stability problems if you ramp up too fast for the battery alone to cope with.
There a burst-mode capacitor might come in handy, especially if you can control how long is allowed before the next state-change so the capacitor has a chance to recharge.
But, honestly, ultracapacitors are a really great idea - but we're so struggling with the practical implementation that we're desperately trying to find a middle-ground solution for the early prototypes that might a) come in handy, b) fund the rest of the ultracapacitor development. I don't think this is it.
Re: "They can now allow processors to work at full power"
I'd say "not wanting to be picky" but actually I do.... increasing wattage (power) for a short period is exactly what an ultracapacitor will provide, what it doesn't do is increase the number of joules (stored energy capacity) of the device.
It might allow you to withdraw the stored energy in a more efficient profile which might then have the effect of making the hybrid device deliver more energy in real world usage.
In any case, I do think that thin ultracapacitors are likely to start popping up all over the place as they will support form factors which batteries cant.
Old tech
In PC board design, it was usual practice to put fast ceramic capacitors in parallel with electrolytic capacitors used to deal with local fluctuations in the power line. Electrolytics have higher capacitance for a given volume but also have a lower frequency response. In decoupling fast op amps, the capacitors might be 47u electrolytic and .1u ceramic, enough to ensure that the rail voltage didn't drop significantly due to a fast swing at the output. Of course, multilayer boards with power planes simplified that aspect of design rather a lot, but when I started in electronic design we had to scream and kick to be allowed even a double sided board.
In the case of lithium batteries, I guess it is more a case of reducing internal power dissipation during surges, due to the internal resistance. Repeated current spikes cause more internal heating than the same power delivery in constant current, so will shorten battery life.
So I'm not quite sure why the ultracapacitor shouldn't simply be a separate component in the phone, as most modern ones don't have user replaceable batteries. However you do it, it's an extra manufacturing step somewhere. Perhaps someone is hoping to get it in as a retrofit.
It makes sense to me
Yes, mounting large capacitors is always difficult. Mounting a large capacitor using the mechanical battery mounts is a great idea, if that's what you want the capacitance for.
But I don't think they are trying to sell the idea to Apple. This is for people who need to trade off the cost of an expesive design against the cost of an expensive battery.
fire power
so we are wrapping a small fire bomb in a detonator?
Re: fire power
so we are wrapping a small fire bomb in a detonator?
No - there's no mechanism that could cause the ultracapacitor voltage to exceed that of the battery (other than the battery spontaneously developing an internal short-circuit, which is almost certain to result in it catching fire shortly afterwards, ultracapacitor or no)
I am slightly concerned that this device might be useful to a terrorist, i.e. the power surge which it needs to cope with being the power draw of a detonator on a bomb when its timer reaches zero. However, I guess they could buy a separate ultracapacitor, and wire it in parallel with a battery.
Advantage of integrating the battery and ultracapacitor? Packaging, I'd guess. No dead space between two separate components.
Re: fire power
>so we are wrapping a small fire bomb in a detonator?
Given the only working alternative in pocket sized devices to battery power is methanol (unless you count wind up which would probably power a smartphone for about 5 minutes) I'll take that potential fire bomb over a guaranteed flammable and toxic liquid.
Re: fire power
"I am slightly concerned that this device might be useful to a terrorist, i.e. the power surge which it needs to cope with being the power draw of a detonator on a bomb when its timer reaches zero. However, I guess they could buy a separate ultracapacitor, and wire it in parallel with a battery."
If ultracapacitors are outlawed, only outlaws will have ultracapacitors.
Definitely catchier than "If ultracapacitors are terrorised, only ultracapacitors will be terrorists."
Re: fire power
I am slightly concerned that this device might be useful to a terrorist, i.e. the power surge which it needs to cope with being the power draw of a detonator on a bomb when its timer reaches zero.
Pah. A bomb-maker would use a battery that's well capable of delivering sufficient oomph to the detonator by itself. And they won't care about shortening the battery life by suddenly exceeding the allowable current draw for maximum longevity, especially since they'd be shortening battery life anyway by blowing it into tiny little pieces.
If the ultracapacitor has enough energy storage capability and can respond well to transient charge/discharge, this could also be useful for storing large charging surges that the Li-ion would be incapable of accepting efficiently. (e.g regenerative braking surges, etc?). Despite this apparent advanatge, it doesn't seem to make sense to integrate the ultracapacitor, with monitoring and control electronics, as part of the battery housing, unless you're very sure you have a mass-market application which is well understood and for which the control electronics, ultracapacitor size and battery capacity have been 'tuned'.
could you use this tech to give electric cars their own equivalent to a 'fast and the furious' style petrol nitro boost?
Nothing yet known to man has that capacity!
Nothing yet known to man has that capacity!
Er ... no? You can go out and buy an ultracapacitor module that'll store a megajoule. That's a million watt-seconds, or 100kW for ten seconds. 100kW is comparable to a decent car engine at full throttle, so that's ten seconds of doubled power output. What does nitro do for that engine? I'm no expert, but I'd guess twice the power, and more than a ten-second boost is likely to damage something.
The ultracapacitor may not be a practical system, but very far from impossible.
BTW what is the technology behind KERS on F1 cars?
"could you use this tech to give electric cars their own equivalent to a 'fast and the furious' style petrol nitro boost?"
Just don't build it into a plate bolted to the floor.
"The ultracapacitor may not be a practical system, but very far from impossible.
BTW what is the technology behind KERS on F1 cars?"
Team it up with a flow battery, assuming they can make one small enough, and you have potential way of providing a rapidly refuel-able power source that can also handle peak loads.
So far it seems to have only been used to start them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3x_kYq3mHM
"BTW what is the technology behind KERS on F1 cars?"
I think KERS storage used Li batteries*. As from 2014 engines (new season starts this weekend), it's no longer KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), but just ERS as it now has 2 components, harvesting data from braking (ERS-K equivalent to old KERS) and exhaust heat (ERS-H). But I think underlying storage is still Li batteries.
*This was not specified in the rules, AFAIK some teams notably Williams explored the flywheel route of storing energy but all teams eventaully settled on Li batteries as teh best available tech
Actually I meant the capacity to make cars do what they make them do in Fast & Furious, like give it 22 gears and magic a 25 mile runway out of thin air.
Re: What does nitro do for that engine?
Nitrous oxide delivers more oxygen to the engine so more fuel needs to be delivered to take full advantage of the extra oxygen. And, yes, improperly done this is an expensive, esoteric way to blow your engine up.
Ask Toyota...
The 600 volt system in Prius models 2010 and newer store braking energy so quickly that they could only be capacitor augmented batteries... as usual, they aren't saying...but 40 hp stored instantly is no battery I have ever seen including the military 24 volt Nicads used in UH-2D helicopters with a 1300 ampere charging rate...
IMHO= wire size / pc trace cross sectional area is often used to control current flow...think psuedo low ohm resistor...RS
> extended the efficiency of the battery as much as 15 per cent while also increasing battery life
It increases battery life for those applications that do not use the surge of power functionality ... those that do use a surge of power will of course drain the battery quicker ...
Maybe we will be able to have a tubo boost in our mobile phones (ARM), like back in the day on my i386 or more recently with the intel chips.
KITT, where are you ? Pick me up ...
"It increases battery life for those applications that do not use the surge of power functionality ... those that do use a surge of power will of course drain the battery quicker ..."
Yes, but that's not the point. The more we demand from a battery, the more it heats itself.
Think about someone opening a site from the mobile. There will be bursts of power, when the browser process all that HTML and CSS. And there will be quieter periods, when the browser is waiting for data or the user is reading the page.
The busier periods will generate more heat in the battery, as it will deliver more energy per second. With an ultracapacitor the draw is smoothed out, with the battery providing less energy for second, in a longer time frame. This will make the battery usage more efficient, since the heat does not increases linearly with the power draw.
No, it will not help someone playing games. But will help normal usage: spikes for loading a browser, surges from scanning wireless networks and whatnot.
Good idea, but maybe not an optimal solution
Given that the ultracapacitor can only provide power transient peaks, I assume that this will require some form of close control with the device being powered where it's capable of sustained high demand. For instance, on a smartphone it might be necessary to "throttle-back" the processor in order to reduce power consumption to the sustainable level. I suppose that it could be done without a full control interface (e.g. the device could monitor demand using "dead reckoning", rather than a closed-loop control system, but I don't think such a system would be optimal).
Given this logic has to be embedded into the device's management systems, then it would surely make more sense to embed this in the device. Then the battery can remain just that, which means not having to invent a whole new interface. It would also be cheaper where batteries are replaceable, rather then embedded. Also, this is something that device manufacturer's could implement without a new battery specification. Indeed, maybe they already do it.
A level physics confusion?
So, I recall from A level physics (*) that you will always waste 50% of the energy if you charge a capacitor from a fixed voltage. Basic idea being that energy in cap is 0.5 x C x V x V but that the energy supplied from the fixed voltage source is Q x V = (C x V) x V. I guess these days you can use some clever electronics to break the assumption of fixed voltage, but even so there must be some losses, right? As well as the increased complexity of the combined cap/battery/electronics.
* - a while ago, deduceable from the fact that I also have a physics O-Level ...
Re: A level physics confusion?
Always some losses: yes. Not always 50% though, that's for charging through a resistor from zero volts and discharging back to zero. With a battery in parallel with a capacitor the voltage difference between the battery and the capacitor will remain small at all times (short of a gross overload, which is likely to start a fire unless of extremely short duration).
Re: A level physics confusion?
In effect a filter is needed - battery followed by inductor in the power line followed by capacitor. The inductor is needed to prevent the high frequency load spike reaching the battery. These are actually available as tiny circuit board modules, but with ordinary capacitors, not large high discharge rate versions.
Seems to me that what's really required is a lithium battery with integrated fire extinguishing capability so we may safely fly the skies without fear that if a shoebomber doesn't get us the avionics bay will.
Re: Bah!
Dynamite is mainly trinitrotoluene dispersed in a clay to make it relatively safe to handle. The downside, of course, is that your dynamite - or your safe lithium battery - takes up an awful lot more room than the unsafe version, and what the manufacturers want is ever smaller size.
The demand for really big phones is encouraged by the phone manufacturers because there is so much more space for the battery,making design an awful lot easier. But they would still balk at doubling or tripling the battery size.
Re: Bah!
Dynamite is Nitroglycerine dispersed in clay. Pure nitroglycerine is dangerously touchy stuff - it will detonate in response to any slight impact. Cheap and easy to make, though. You can hit dynamite with a hammer and it won't explode.
TNT is used for filling bombs and HE shells. It's stable until subjected to a shockwave from a detonator (though it decomposes and becomes less safe after many years' ageing). Trivia question: what commonly-used substance was invented by terrorists for terrorist purposes? Answer: ANFO, ad-hoc explosive made by mixing Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil. It's now widely used by the mining industry. Drill holes, fill with fertilizer, then add fuel oil, finally detonators. Much cheaper than "real" explosives and safe enough for in-situ preparation.
Re: Bah!
Ah, thank you - I got the nitro compounds interchanged. It's a long time since I actually did this stuff.
Was ANFO really invented by terrorists? My textbook suggested that it was invented by the mining industry in an attempt to produce a safer explosive, in the sense that it produces a relatively flame-free pressure wave and so is better at not detonating methane. Ammonium nitrate itself is hardly innocuous, and one of the most destructive explosions on record was caused by a shipful of it going off of its own accord.
Nowadays the world is full of people being careless around lithium batteries, which have almost the energy storage density of mining explosives. Despite that, they are pretty safe.
Re: Bah!
Ammonium Nitrate was known to be dangerous for decades. That's why it's normally mixed or denatured to keep it from becoming explosive. The Texas City explosion occurred due to fire helping to destabilizie the product. The men behind Oklahoma City found a way to renature the fertilizer to make it a useful part of homemade ANFO (not an easy thing to do). The military don't use the stuff themselves mainly because they have something better in RDX.
Re: Bah!
"one of the most destructive explosions on record was caused by a shipful of it going off of its own accord."
Are you sure it went off of its own accord ? Ships also contain fuel oil. Accidents do happen.
Re: Bah!
He meant it was accidentally detonated. The AN was held in the ship in a fertilizer form (normally considered denatured), but the fire in the ship (exacerbated by fuel oil and some ammunition on board) combined with the confines of the ship destabilized the fertilizer, resulting in a spontaneous detonation.
Re:Dynamite is ...
What The Fundament does dynamite (which is actually nitroglycerine absorbed into sawdust or kieselguhr - aka 'diatomaceous earth' - Stevie have degree in Chemical Sciences from University of East Climategate and long history of self-immolation with improvised chemical energy release methodologies before that and so cannot be baffled with bullshit on such basic pyrotechnic lore) have to do with lithium batteries?
Do keep up old chap and back to the Organic Chemistry text for some much-needed swotting too. Come back when you've blown up your garden shed.
Re: Bah!
"The men behind Oklahoma City found a way to renature the fertilizer to make it a useful part of homemade ANFO (not an easy thing to do)"
So hard to do that it was documented in a farmers handbook as a way of blowing treestumps out of the ground. Said book was produced by the US federal govt and copies were in McVeigh's possession.
Would it not be essentially the same to put the ultra capacitor on the PCB of the device itself rather than part of the battery? Perhaps better as that would work with replacement batteries and different battery chemistries?£
See post above labelled "Old tech"
I think the answer is "Yes."
"Would it not be essentially the same to put the ultra capacitor on the PCB"
Yes. If there were significant advantages having a super capacitor in parallel with an Li battery it would already be done. A battery containing a super capacitor must also contain less battery.
There may be small $/volume/weight savings integrating a super capacitor in a battery but are those savings enough to make the difference between the advantage of a parallel super capacitor worthwhile or not? I doubt it.
By wrapping the supercap around the battery you have more surface area and can make them in higher values than in conventional packages. You can also use them to mitigate charging spikes, which are just as bad as discharge spikes with current Li-ion technology (if not worse).
There's nothing stopping external supercaps being used, but they still have to be packaged somehow.
I guess battery wrapping V separate unit would rather depend on the optimum profile for a supercap.
The extending battery life I suspect is talking about service life as well, it will last longer in service as you aren't thrashing it. You are also using both power sources in their sweet spot. I assume there are some electronics built in to manage the draw on both. If you decrease the amount of aggressive discharge from the lion cell then you decrease the heating and the likelihood of the battery becoming a bomb.
From the description they aren't losing a great deal of space for the capacitor.
I think the truth will be in the discharge not the heating..
Ultracapacitors wrapped around a Li-on battery.
What kind of jolt can we expect if the external cover is damaged?
Don't Li-Ion batteries like to burn?
And one of the companies involved with this is named "Paper Battery Company"? I think I already see a problem...
"Capacitance from 150 - 3000 milliFarads" For the "Ultra" tag I was expecting something in the multiple Farad range..
Re: Ultra?
For something that wraps around a phone battery, 3 farads is approximately equivalent to 1 fuckload.
Have you seen the size of the one-farad caps that go into cars with obnoxiously huge speakers to stop the bass from causing the lights to dim? Try the size of a litre bottle of pop.
Re: Ultra?
That's because it has to endure higher voltages and higher currents.
1F at 5V can be much smaller.
Re: Ultra?
Oh I know about those, and that's still a pretty big lump to stick in a phone. If you can get three times that, in a paper-thin wrapper around the phone battery?
Joyful times, perhaps.
Re: Ultra?
With 1mm layer around the battery surface it looks quite possible. Maybe a half mm will do.

Here´s a thought: I if Microsoft were truly concerned about their customers, rather than with extorting payment via planned obsolescence, they could license the XP code to some third party who would be willing to maintain it - or even periodically update it themselves - for a reasonable fee. This won´t happen, however, because continued usability of this stable, reliable operating system would hurt their bottom line when they roll out turkeys like Visa or Windows 8.

1/3 Photos of Fried Cornbread With Corn and Chiles
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
20 mins
When I was growing up, my Grannie would make fried cornbread in the skillet on top of the stove to save time, instead of baking it in the oven. I always loved it...it didn't crumble and fall apart, and it was nice and crispy. Try regular cornbread that way...it is wonderful with some cabbage, pinto beans, fried apples and southern cooked pork chops! This recipe is a souped up version of what she used to make. To me its a meal in itself, but it really goes well with chili! Its also good dipped into homemade salsa. This is best cooked in a cast iron skillet, although you may use others.

The MOD system from Brazil's Portalmod was born of a desire to break free from the confines of carefully considered manufacturer-supplied digital effects for guitar and bass, and sail into the vast uncharted territory of independent developer-generated plug-ins. The hardware features its own mini computing system capable of wirelessly receiving user-customized virtual pedalboards configured via a browser-based interface. Having sold out of its original Quadra model, the company is currently making plans to release its next product, the MOD Duo, in the US. Read More
Whether you're a biker who values the comfort of platform pedals or you favor the efficiency only the clipless variety can offer, there will likely have been times when you wished you had the best of both worlds. FlyPedals are adapters that can turn almost any clipless pedal into a flat surface for regular shoes, meaning there's no need to trod around on those awkward cleats when you're only making a quick trip to the shops.

When we walk or run, our feet are able to land on the ground in whatever orientation makes life easiest for our hips, knees and ankles. When we're on a bike, however, our feet are at least somewhat held in place against the pedals. This can damage our leg joints, if they're forced to move in a stressful fashion. Germany's BioConform is now offering what it claims is a solution, in the form of its adaptable BIUS1 pedals. Read More
Talking Pedal offers tube-free Talk Box-like guitar effect
Although I grew up surrounded by the big hair rock of Bon Jovi and the like, my first introduction to the Talk Box guitar effect was not Living on a Prayer but Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way over a decade earlier, followed a little later by Peter Frampton's epic Do You Feel Like We Do. Although it continues to be used by a good many guitar gods to this day, the long tube that invariably runs up a microphone stand to the player's mouth does make it something of a special addition to a guitarist's effects arsenal rather than a regular feature. The Talking Pedal from Electro-Harmonix does away with the tube altogether in a rocking chassis expression pedal with no moving parts. Read More
"World's lightest" bike pedals look like they're barely even there
Even if you're not a cyclist, you're probably aware that a great deal of today's higher-end bikes have pedals that the rider's shoes simply click in and out of. These are known as clipless pedal systems, as they're an alternative to using toe clips and straps. They first gained popularity in the mid-80s and ever since then, bicycle components companies have been trying to make them lighter and simpler. Now, Colorado-based Ultralite Sports is about to release a clipless pedal system that it claims is the lightest in the world – and the pedal itself just looks like a bare spindle. Read More
Pedal Lock secures, incapacitates your bike
Owning and riding a bike can be very rewarding; it gives you the freedom to explore your surroundings, is cheaper than public transport in the longterm, and healthier than driving a car. Unfortunately being a bike owner means dealing with the possibility of having your favored mode of transport stolen, especially in urban areas where the incidence of bike theft is high. This means the majority of bike owners need to own and use a lock every time they park their bike up. Two Taiwanese designers have concocted a new way of preventing bike theft: one that sees the pedals used to both clamp the wheel of, and (if necessary) incapacitate, the bicycle. Read More
While many mountain bikers like so-called "clipless" pedals, in which cleats on the bottom of their shoes click in and out of a mechanism in the pedal, others prefer the unfettered feeling of platform pedals. Generally speaking, the two types of pedals are about the same thickness. Given that platforms don't need to contain any springs or other cleat-retaining gizmos, however, they could be much thinner ... if only it weren't for that axle running through them. Well, Tioga has done away with the axle, in its new ZEROaxle MT-ZERO pedal. At a maximum thickness of 7 mm, it's being billed as the "world's thinnest dual-concave mountain bike pedal." Read More
Last January, we said that the Robrady-designed db0 was one of the best folding electric bikes we'd seen. The Swiss entry into the market has turned its back on this traditional bicycle-with-motor design in favor of a folding pedal-electric assist scooter. Users are said to be able to fold or unfold the Voltitude bike in about one second, and with one hand, thanks to its unique EasyFold system. Swiss and EU legislation limits the electric assist to 15.5 mph (25 kph), although some frantic footwork could see it achieve faster speeds if required, and the onboard battery is good for between 12 and 25 miles (20 to 40 km) between charges.

DigiTech announces BP355 multi-effects pedal for bass players
The rhythmic fretwork of the bass guitarist is almost always an essential element in modern music, but when it comes to effects processors, most pedals seem to head for lead guitar stardom.

Gig-fx releases the Peter Frampton MegaWah effects pedal
Guitarist and songwriter Peter Frampton – of Humble Pie fame – has put his name to a new Megawah effects pedal built by Gig-fx.

Players can also choose a classic crying wah, an adjustable funky envelope wah and a variable rate autowah. Read More
