The Restoration | Now You Know

Re-inventing Religion of a young farm-boy . . . April 6,1930 that farm boy organized this church.

Published on Oct 22, 2018

Mormons, properly referred to as Latter-day Saints -- Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - often talk about “The Restoration.” And while you may be familiar with “The Reformation” as a period of great change within Christianity, “The Restoration” is something else entirely. It refers to the full modern-day return of the ancient Church of Jesus Christ. The one that Jesus himself organized as described in the New Testament. This restored organization is called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Soon after He called His 12 apostles, Jesus organized His church in order to bring salvation to all God’s children. The new Church would teach men and women about the nature of God, what was necessary for them to do in order to become more like Him and return to Him.

Amazing 3D-Printed Graphene Supercapacitor Electrode

Kinda nerdy > exciting

Published on Oct 21, 2018

****EDIT: meant to say Graphene is made out of Carbon, not Silicon.
Hello. Welcome to NeoScribe.
We’ve all seen the headlines.
Graphene Batteries that charge five times faster!
Solid-State Batteries with 10 times the capacity!
There’re so many news stories about energy storage research these days that after a while you’re like, bring it to market already!
Because we get so excited from these headlines that we want them in our devices now!
The great Joe Scott said it best when he said… ///Joe Scott Vid///
And while these promising breakthroughs may not lead to actual products as fast as we would like, eventually one or many WILL get there. Right?
So, while we wait, let’s talk about yet ANOTHER breakthrough in energy storage research, the record-breaking 3D Printed Graphene Supercapacitor from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory!
I get a kick out of that description, it’s like all of the Nerd Buzzwords packed together, 3D Printed Graphene Supercapacitor.
Anyway, before we talk about that let’s BRIEFLY talk about what supercapacitors are.
A Supercapacitor or Supercap is an energy storage device similar to batteries. While batteries release electrical energy from chemical reactions, Supercaps GENERALLY store energy from static electricity.
Supercaps have a lot of advantages over batteries and may one day replace batteries as the dominant portable energy storage technology.
They charge ridiculously fast, have a virtually unlimited cycle life, they work better than batteries in extreme temperatures and they can also have a higher power density than batteries.
In other words, they can transfer energy much faster than batteries.
But Supercaps have one major disadvantage, they have much lower energy density and that is why batteries have wider applications.
And this takes us to Pseudocapacitors.
Think of pseudocapacitor as a bridge between batteries and supercapacitors as they maintain a lot of the same advantages as supercaps but have higher energy densities.
But the challenge with improving energy density in pseudocapacitors is as you increase the thickness of the electrode usually made out of manganese oxide, the performance of the device drops rapidly because the ions have to move through more material.
And this is where Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory comes in.
On October 18th the lab reported that they developed an electrode out of 3D-Printed Graphene Aerogel that has the highest ratio of energy stored per unit of surface area ever recorded for a supercap.
And by small chance you don’t know what graphene is, there are tons of videos out there about it but it’s simply a sheet of silicon one atom thick that scientist slap on anything and makes it 5 or 10 times better.
Anyway, Lawrence Livermore has been fabricating electrodes this way for a while but the difference this time is Lawrence Livermore has greatly improved the graphene aerogel leading to this record-breaking performance.
The way it works is the aerogel is printed as a scaffold composed of a tiny porous rod meaning it has a bunch of tiny holes and spaces.
Then manganese oxide I loaded into the scaffold allowing for much more of it in the electrode without slowing down the ions.
This is called mass-loading, and that is the record that the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The electrode they built has 100 milligrams of manganese oxide per square cm, compared to typical commercial supercaps that have only 10 milligrams per square cm!
Another benefit from this breakthrough is that it will allow supercaps to cheaper to produce.
You see, manufactures have to stack thin layers of current collectors, made out of metal sheets coated with electrode material in order to increase energy densities without sacrificing performance and this increases material costs.
It would take ten layers of current collectors to equal the energy density of the 3D printed Electrode.
With this breakthrough, it appears that scientists are getting closer and closer to filling the gaps between batteries and supercaps.
So, when can we expect to see supercaps in our devices?
Not soon enough!
All kidding aside, this is an exciting and promising breakthrough in portable energy storage technology to add to the long list of other exciting and promising breakthroughs and hopefully, in the next 10 years, we can see either battery replacing supercaps or solid state batteries actually come to market.
Until then, we can dream of an incredible future….

Alright, that’s all I have for now.

Book-of-the-Day: An Autobiography & Memoir > The World Is Waiting To Hear About His What?

O Yeah! Full Disclosure with a responsibility to tell history. It's Stormy Daniel's story right now that shows what goes around comes around for Tabloid-Trash Trump "quite apart from his lack of finesse when astride her and the mess he made on her stomach by not rubbering up, he didn’t even provide the dinner he’d promised when he invited her. . . ."
". . . Emetic as it all is to remember, Stormy knows that she has a responsibility to history. “The world is waiting to hear about his penis,” she says and obliges in emasculating detail. For the record, it’s smallish and Trump had to “fumble” it into her – not a compliment to its hydraulics. It looks repellently fungoid, with a head that she first likens to a mushroom and then – determined to spare him no humiliation – to a toadstool. She can’t report on his balls, which in her opinion “he needs to shave”; they skulked in a tangled thicket of “yeti pubes”. A transplant might be in order, since Stormy reports that “his hair down there was better than what was on his head”.
(The lines above are from a chapter read out of sequence chronicles her evening with Donald Trump after a California golf tournament in 2006 – three hours listening to his self-puffery, then a scant two minutes enduring “the least impressive sex I’ve ever had”.)
Full Disclosure by Stormy Daniels review – duck, Donald…

Daniels’s book reveals her to be a defiant survivor, with an eye for scabrous detail

Trick-or-Treat? Halloween + Six Questions On The Mesa 2018 General Election Ballot

You, dear readers, are probably wondering how in this wide-world of imagination that your MesaZona blogger could possibly choose to feature our honorable guile-less mayor in the opening image for this post starting with " Trick-or-Treat"
Freedom of the press perhaps? In no way are any of these posts intended to disparage the mayor - he's a fun guy.
Just one picture can sometimes say more than the thousands of words posted about John Giles in the past three years on this hyper-local news/information/opinion/entertainment site.

So what connects Halloween this year and The Six Questions on the Mesa 2018 General Election Ballot?
Take a look >
And remember two years ago when voters here in Mesa
REJECTED going into more debt-burden hoisted onto the backs of taxpayers hitting us in all our wallets to the tune of $200 Million Dollars to finance a radical transformation of downtown into a satellite ASU campus. ASU is well-off and can finance itself - The main campus is just 5 stops away to the west where ASU devoured that city's downtown area.
_________________________________________________________________________

This time around two years later, they've had the time to pack up a new bag - that's a Half-A-Billion-Bag! - of new tricks and treats all thrown together on one ballot that you might find confusing at five times the cost burden to taxpayers hidden in the way they package it, so you don't realize what it is . . .
Don't really mean to smash any pumpkins here in Mesa, but's it's just another bogus public relations campaign when U Un-pack it:
A Grab-Bag-of-Goodies-For-Everybody!

You can VOTE NO across-the-board on All Six Questions
That's your prerogative when you exercise your right-to-vote

It doesn't matter if you are red or blue.
