Embodiments herein generally relate to structures and methods that control the speed of electric motors such as stepper motors, and more particularly to an improved motor and method that utilizes two modes to reduce vibrations and noise of such motors.
Where perfect speed control is required, hybrid stepper motors are often chosen for their precision, in order to minimize vibration. However, even with micro-stepping techniques, vibration continues to be a challenge with popular drive circuitry, as does limitations on the useable range of speed. This disclosure explains how standard drive circuit topology can be used along with enhanced control logic to accomplish very low vibration operation over an unprecedented range of speed.
When a stepper motor is used to produce continuous motion, it periodically updates the electrical signal supplied to the coils. To keep the torque constant and the angular increment regular, the coils of a 2-phase bipolar wound motor (a very common stepper motor arrangement) are driven such that the currents in those coils approximate a sine wave and a cosine wave.
These waveforms, illustrated in
With respect to the effects of vibration, free (unloaded) stepper motors can be set to move to any position at any torque by controlling the coil currents. This is sometimes called the electrical position. However the mechanical position of a torque loaded motor will stray from this by a positional error called the load angle, as shown in
One exemplary apparatus embodiment herein that provides damping to reduce such oscillation comprises a dual-mode controller operatively connected to an electric motor. The controller is adapted to supply a pattern of voltage to the electric motor. Further, the controller has an input/output for receiving a desired rotational speed and step frequency of the electric motor. A current feedback loop is connected to the electric motor and the controller.
The controller operates in two different modes, a high-speed, closed-loop mode and a low-speed, open-loop mode. Thus, the controller is adapted to perform closed-loop mode control of coil current of the electric motor by varying the average voltage supplied to the electric motor according to observed feedback current from the current feedback loop, if the desired rotational speed is high enough (e.g., above a predetermined limit). However, when the desired rotational speed is slow enough (e.g., not above the predetermined limit) the controller is adapted to perform open-loop mode control of coil current of the electric motor by setting the average voltage supplied to the electric motor according to values computed from the step frequency, irrespective of the observed feedback current from the current feedback loop. The predetermined limit can be either a step frequency or a revolution frequency.
More specifically, the controller is adapted to perform the closed-loop mode control using feedback-based pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the pattern of voltage supplied to the electric motor so as to maintain sinusoidal current waveforms within the electric motor.
However, the controller performs the open-loop mode control to supply, from the controller to the electric motor, sinusoidal voltage waveforms matching desired sinusoidal current waveforms corresponding to the desired rotational speed. The current feedback loop is adapted to provide over-current protection during the open-loop mode control.
A method embodiment receives the desired rotational speed and step frequency for the electric stepper motor. If the desired rotational speed is above a predetermined limit, the method performs closed-loop mode control of coil current of the electric stepper motor by varying the average voltage supplied to the electric stepper motor according to observed feedback current from the current feedback loop connected to the electric stepper motor. To the contrary, if the desired rotational speed is not above the predetermined limit, the method performs open-loop mode control of coil current of the electric stepper motor by setting the average voltage supplied to the electric stepper motor according to values computed from the step frequency, irrespective of the observed feedback current from the current feedback loop.
These and other features are described in, or are apparent from, the following detailed description.
Various exemplary embodiments of the systems and methods are described in detail below, with reference to the attached drawing figures, in which:
While the present method and structure will be described in connection with embodiments thereof, it will be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. To the contrary, this disclosure is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope, as defined by the appended claims.
As mentioned above, the load angle shown in
With respect to sources of vibration, if in the motor construction, the angular increment is kept small, commonly 1/64 of a cycle, and if the amplitude of the coil currents (e.g.,
The widely available Chopper Current Controlling drivers (closed-loop mode) use pulse width modulation (PWM) to reduce a high supply voltage to an average motor voltage. For a complete discussion of stepper motor control circuits, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,587,473 and 7,154,245, the complete disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Such drivers vary the supply voltage, according to current feedback, to compensate for the back electromotive forces (EMF) that change as the velocity varies, as required to maintain current waveforms of the correct amplitude. However, such conventional circuitry often encounters problems with mismatch of current sensing resistors, voltage offsets of feedback comparators, accuracy of D/A converters, asymmetrical current driving, and an inherent dead band.
The "H" bridge circuit 34, shown in
The bridge circuit 34 is operatively connected to a power supply 30 and outputs the appropriate voltage/current to the stepper motor 36. A current sensing resistor 38 produces a feedback signal which is fed back to the controller 32 through a comparator. The feedback signal represents the magnitude of coil current in the direction that it is being driven, during the "on-time", when either diagonal pair of transistors (Q1; Q4 or Q2; Q3) are turned on. This is called the forward current of the motor coil, knowing that the actual direction depends on what is the intended direction at any given time. The actual pair of diagonal transistors selected determines the driving direction on the coil.
During "off-time", the forward coil current either does not go through the sense resistor 38, or flows backward through the sense resistor 38, depending on the states of the four transistors Q1 through Q4. For this feedback signal to be used, it is interpreted in synch with the "on-time", and compared with a desired level, in order to determine when to switch the transistors Q1-Q4 to the "off-time" state.
When turning on a transistor in the "H" bridge driver circuit, electrical capacitance of the load and the transistor cause a current spike to appear in the sensing resistor 38. As a result, the feedback signal is reversing for some time after turn-on. If turn-off is triggered by feedback levels, then the on-time is restricted to some minimum. In order to accurately control current near the zero point, using a minimum on-time, and a pre-determined off-time, current reversal during the off-time must be prevented. This is done by using the transistors in a combination that never applies the supply voltage in the reverse direction during the off-time.
This causes a form of drive asymmetry where coil current variations are normally not met by any change in the current path, but if it crosses zero when it is not expected to, the path changes. As a result, when motor inductance and loading effects such as back-EMF and load angle cause the current to cross zero at a different time than planned, the circuit responds in a non-linear way, causing torque perturbations in synch with the step rate. These asymmetrical drive paths, again combined with the minimum on-time restriction, also explain the occurrence of "dead-band" (where the feedback loop loses control of the current at low levels near the zero cross). This dead band affects the motor at any speed, even at speeds low enough that back-EMF and inductance are not significant effects.
The conventional Chopper Current Controlling drives (closed-loop mode) are often unable to accurately control current at or near zero. This non-linearity at the zero current crossover points cause vibration, noise, etc. One exemplary apparatus embodiment herein that provides damping solutions to these problems comprises the dual-mode controller 32 operatively connected to the electric motor 36. The controller 32 is operatively connected, and adapted to supply different patterns of voltage to the electric motor 36. Further, the controller 32 has an input/output for receiving a desired rotational speed and step frequency of the electric motor 36. A current feedback loop is operatively connected to the electric motor and the controller 32.
The controller 32 is adapted to perform closed-loop mode control of coil current of the electric motor 36 by varying the average voltage supplied to the electric motor 36 according to observed feedback current from the current feedback loop, if the desired rotational speed is high enough (e.g., above a predetermined limit). However, when the desired rotational speed is slow enough (e.g., not above the predetermined limit) the controller 32 is adapted to perform open-loop mode control of coil current of the electric motor 36 by setting the average voltage supplied to the electric motor 36 according to values computed from the step frequency, irrespective of the observed feedback current from the current feedback loop.
More specifically, the controller 32 is adapted to perform the closed-loop mode control using feedback-based pulse width modulation to control the average voltage supplied to the electric motor 36 so as to maintain sinusoidal current waveforms within the electric motor 36.
However, the controller 32 performs the open-loop mode control to supply, from the power supply 30 to the electric motor 36, sinusoidal voltage waveforms matching desired sinusoidal current waveforms corresponding to the desired rotational speed. The current feedback loop is adapted to provide over-current protection during the open-loop mode control.
As shown in flowchart form in
The closed-loop mode 404 uses feedback-based pulse width modulation to control the average voltage supplied to the electric stepper motor 36 so as to maintain sinusoidal current waveforms within the electric stepper motor 36. To the contrary, the open-loop mode control comprises supplying, to the electric stepper motor 36, sinusoidal voltage waveforms matching desired sinusoidal current waveforms corresponding to the desired rotational speed or step frequency input in item 400. The predetermined limit can be a rotational speed and/or a step frequency.
Thus, the above structure and method provides a solution to common sources of vibration by using open-loop control at slow speeds and closed-loop control at higher speeds. At high speeds, corresponding to high step frequency, the inertia of the rotor presents a high impedance to harmonic acceleration, so vibration is usually not an issue. This "fly wheel" effect allows satisfactory operation of the Chopper Current Controlling (closed-loop) driver, and imperfect motors, but only in the high range of speed. However, at low speeds there is a need to overcome the drawbacks of the Chopper Current Controlling driver, and also combat motor imperfections with some type of dampening system. The embodiments address this need by using open-loop control at low speeds. Regarding the driver circuit in
By utilizing open-loop control at low speeds, the embodiments herein remove the timing restrictions that are required by having to sample the current feedback signal in synch with the switching of the transistors, which may cause dead band vibration issues. No conventional feedback setups provide solutions for the precision feedback needed at low speeds. However, by controlling the current open-loop, also known as a voltage controlling drive, the dead-band problems are eliminated.
When applying a sinusoidal voltage to the coils the current is expected to also be sinusoidal, with some time lag caused by inductance. However the current is also affected by back EMF. Because of back EMF, there is a need to increase the drive voltage amplitude in direct proportion to the motor velocity, at a rate set by the EMF constant of the motor. This voltage is added to the voltage necessary to drive the desired current through the resistance of the motor coil to compensate for back EMF.
However, the back EMF varies as the load angle fluctuates. Because of this fact, in open-loop control, the motor velocity vibration can be electronically dampened. In open-loop control, the generated back-EMF tends to force the coil currents to be modified in a direction that yields a torque opposing the velocity in the load angle. This is very different from the chopper current control situation (closed-loop mode) in which the current cannot be modified by back-EMF.
With the feedback loop that controls motor velocity in closed-loop mode, there are two time delays. One is the coil inductance that causes the current to vary as the integral of the difference between the applied voltage and the back EMF. The other is the rotor inertia that causes the velocity to vary as the integral of the current. At low motor speeds these time delays are insignificant, and the system approximates direct negative feedback, thus stabilizing velocity. However at higher speeds these delays become significant, to the point that feedback becomes positive, causing oscillation of velocity. For these reasons, the embodiments herein employ open-loop control at low speeds and closed-loop control at higher speeds. Thus, the embodiments herein use voltage control at low speeds for low vibration and high damping, and use current control for high speeds where vibration is not an issue. The drive controller 32 can switch between these methods on the fly as the desired rotational speed and step frequency change. Further, the useful speed ranges of these two drive methods do in fact overlap.
A standard "H" bridge circuit with a current sensing resistor (such as that shown in
One feature of open-loop control (that permits very accurate current control) is that the current is very sensitive to the applied voltage. By using a symmetrical PWM driving method, very little can go wrong in the driver that would cause current errors at low speeds. In this way at low speeds, with open-loop control the current will be nearly ideal, except for its reaction to velocity perturbations that constitute the desired dampening effect on vibration. With open-loop control, the timing of the PWM signal transitions should performed accurately in order to achieve low vibration. Fortunately, since the timing is done in the digital realm, theoretical perfection is guaranteed.
The embodiments herein provide very good success in open-loop control when the PWM frequency is set to an integer multiple (harmonic) of the micro-stepping frequency. In this way, the PWM voltage of each micro-step is controlled by a pulse pattern that starts and ends in synch with the micro-step time period. By locking the PWM frequency onto a harmonic of the micro-stepping frequency in open-loop control, the embodiments herein eliminate vibrations or strange noises that appear in otherwise quiet parts of the frequency spectrum, as a result of mixing or modulation, such as beat frequencies or heterodynes.
On some examples, the range of PWM frequencies in open-loop control can run between the top of the audio range, where coil buzzing would be objectionable, up to the point where load capacitance and transistor switching speed cause excessive heating and current noise. In some examples in open-loop control, this range of PWM frequencies can be around 18 KHz to 40 KHz, and so it spans over one octave. However, as would be understood by those ordinarily skilled in the art, the embodiments are not limited to any ranges mentioned herein and are applicable to all ranges, whether now known or discovered in the future.
For example, in one embodiment, the integer in open-loop control can be based on the micro-stepping frequency and can be chosen, for any given motor speed, to cause the PWM frequency to fall into this predetermined frequency range. This could, for example allow a motor speed range of some ratio, such as 2:1, 4:1, etc. When the motor speed moves outside this frequency range, the integer can be adjusted by a factor (e.g. 2, 4, etc.) such that the PWM frequency stays within its intended range at all times. The adjustment by integer powers of 2 may be performed in the hardware, by shifting the binary bits, so as to avoid the need for a multiplier unit and its associated cost. In another embodiment, the range could be set to any integer ratio (e.g. 3, 5, etc.), and the same adjustment logic applied, but would require an integer multiplier unit.
At some point in open-loop control the motor speed becomes so high that in the time period of one micro step, there may be very few or even just one cycle of PWM. In this situation, the controller can start skipping every other micro step, since the micro-stepping rate may already be so high that the inertia of the rotor will prevent most vibration. On the contrary, when the motor speed becomes very low, vibration may be improved by using more micro-steps per cycle. The number of micro-steps used in open-loop mode is limited only by the size of the sine table.
This example has provided an open-loop control with a predetermined limit of between 18 and 40 KHz, where the PWM duty cycle must be controlled accurately. Again, the embodiments herein are not limited to this example. If it is necessary to provide a resolution of 1% of better, then the controller is set to count at least +/−100 increments (alternatively, 256 could be simpler) per PWM period, suggesting a master clock of at least 8 MHz, which is commonly available. As the PWM frequency goes down from here, to accommodate motor speed adjustments, the PWM period will occupy as much as twice the count, and the resolution will become twice as good.
As discussed in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,903,531 (incorporated herein by reference) the duty cycle in open-loop control can be arrived at in several ways, and can be achieved through multiplication. In the case of a microprocessor, open-loop control should ensure that multiplication occurs as seldom as possible, to reduce resource over-utilization (because in multiplication, the microprocessor needs to calculate a new sine table every time the motor speed changes). For example, the processor can start with a sine template that should be scaled to reflect the motor coil resistance, such that it produces the correct voltages for controlling the current at zero velocity. The new table values are the template values multiplied by one plus a speed value. This speed value is the motor speed, in any units, multiplied by a constant that reflects the EMF constant of the motor itself. In this way, in open-loop control the multiplication software can be executed only when motor speeds are changed.
Alternatively, in open-loop control the hardware can be established so that the PWM generator free-runs with the period and duty values in its register, while a second counter counts the cycles. When a micro-step has counted off, the terminal count issues a direct memory access (DMA) request that moves the next set of values from the calculated table into the loading registers for PWM. All three of these devices repeat their actions. The software that prepares the values would keep two destination tables, and a speed change would be enacted simply by changing a DMA pointer register to point to the newer of the two tables.
Using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) with embodiments herein provides more flexiblily by not limiting the number of motors to the resources of the microprocessor. FPGA's can also save many pins on the processor. Further, the motor parameters can be held in their own registers, making this chip completely customizable. Beyond this, FPGA's can use the current feedback comparator as the basis for a successive approximation register, whereby the motor's resistance can be stored when first powering up the coils, and then the EMF constant can be recorded as the motor speeds up. In this way, all the user needs to select for the application is the operating current, and the mode change speed.
In open-loop control, when dealing with speeds that are not too low, it is possible to avoid using resources for multiplication. This is based on the fact that at all but the lowest speeds, the coil resistance is insignificant when compared to the back-EMF. Therefore, it is adequate to simply multiply the sine table values by the speed, and ignore resistance. This multiplication need not consume resources, because the table values can be directly added or subtracted from the 50% duty value in order to establish the on-time. Since the cycle time is inversely proportional to speed, the relative effect of the table value on the duty cycle rises with speed, and therefore is inherently multiplied. Also, since the cycle time is always twice the 50% duty value, a simple shift left is all that is needed with this set up.
With the dual-mode embodiments described herein, the motor runs cooler in voltage mode for a given torque ability, and there is a lower average power requirement in voltage mode, in addition to less vibration. The embodiments herein save the expense and bulk of mechanical dampers, and provide a greatly extended useful speed range. These embodiments replace mechanical gear shifters, and reduce the need for speed variants in product inventory. They also allow direct drive, and avoid gear and/or pulley tooth vibration by eliminating their necessity.
The embodiments herein are applicable to all motors, such as stepper motors. For example, stepper motors are often used in printers or image output terminals. The word "printer" or "image output terminal" as used herein encompasses any apparatus, such as a digital copier, bookmaking machine, facsimile machine, multi-function machine, etc. which performs a print outputting function for any purpose. The details of printers, printing engines, etc. are well-known by those ordinarily skilled in the art and are discussed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,032,004, the complete disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by reference. All foregoing embodiments are specifically applicable to electrostatographic and/or xerographic machines and/or processes and can comprise hardware or software. For example, the method steps discussed herein can be included within a computer program product within the processor 32. The computer program produce could comprise a computer-usable data carrier storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the various method discussed herein.
It will be appreciated that the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or applications. Various presently unforeseen or unanticipated alternatives, modifications, variations, or improvements therein may be subsequently made by those skilled in the art which are also intended to be encompassed by the following claims.

Bishops say they have no election favorites
Lunch for anti-RH Bill lawmakers was not an endorsement
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
January 28, 2013
The country's Catholic bishops today said they will not be endorsing any candidates for this May's mid-term elections, even those who joined the bishops in opposing the controversial Reproductive Health (RH) Bill.
The statement follows a lunch yesterday for the anti-RH Bill lawmakers hosted by the bishops at the Pope Pius XII Catholic Center in Manila, where Church leaders are currently holding their annual plenary assembly.
Monsignor Joselito Asis, secretary general of the Bishops' Conference, said the occasion should not be seen as an endorsement by the bishops for any election candidate. "[The meeting was] just to show our appreciation to the legislators," he said in an interview.
"We are offering this luncheon in appreciation for what they have done," added Archbishop Jose Palma of Cebu, the Bishops' Conference president. He said the anti-RH Bill lawmakers who voted against its passage into law last month were motivated by "their great love for the country and what the values mean to them."
Palma emphasized that the bishops are not endorsing any candidate this May. He said the role of bishops is simply to give guidelines to the faithful on what kind of candidate they should vote for.
"We are not in any way partisan," he said. "We do not tell the whole world how to vote or name people who are the right ones to vote for."
He added: "We trust in the discernment of the people to choose by themselves, believing that they know how."

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:

Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

Germany rules out taking part in Syria military strike
Berlin: Germany`s foreign minister ruled out his country`s participation in a military strike in Syria after an apparent deadly poison gas attack.
Guido Westerwelle told Saturday`s Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung that such a move had "neither been asked nor is it being considered by us", according to pre-released comments by the paper.
"We are pushing for the United Nations Security Council to find a common position and for the work of UN inspectors to be finished as quickly as possible," he added.
Berlin had previously said it would support "consequences" against the Syrian regime if its suspected deadly use of chemical weapons was confirmed, but it did not specify what the consequences would be.
Yesterday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on the need for the UN Security Council to study a report by UN experts on the alleged chemical attack outside Damascus, the Kremlin said.

DeviceHive, a free open-source cloud-based Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication framework, was launched today by DataArt, a custom software development company that builds advanced solutions for select industries.
In the ever-expanding world of the Internet of Things, 'smart' devices and cloud solutions, DeviceHive is designed to function as the missing link in a network of connected devices. Through its cloud-based API (Application Programming Interface), management portal and set of components, including protocols, and open-source libraries, devices can be controlled remotely, regardless of the network topology.
"We created DeviceHive with scalability and flexibility in mind. It is not proprietary for any device manufacturer, and is available via open-source for the community," said Artyom Astafurov, Chief Innovation Officer at DataArt and Co-Founder of DeviceHive. "The beauty of DeviceHive is that it eliminates the time consuming burden of developing messaging protocol and communication libraries, and lets technology companies focus on developing the functionality of their system. We believe the task of building an M2M solution should be an enjoyable experience."
DeviceHive is available to the wider community for both personal and professional uses alike, and enables rapid development for the areas including but not limited to: security, clean tech, smart home, remote sensors, telemetry and automation, and with key applications ranging from home and hotel automation and security, to logistics, fleet tracking and clean technology.
"Whether it's an iPhone app talking to a Smart Energy Thermostat over ZigBee gateway connected to the cloud, or a fleet tracking device connected over a 3G network talking to Google Maps – we have it all covered!" says Astafurov.
Once all the components of DeviceHive are deployed, the framework allows queuing and delivering commands between devices and client applications, with a ready-made and easily customizable API. Among similar M2M communication networks on the market, DeviceHive is the only non-proprietary open-source self-contained platform.
The DeviceHive website not only supplies the components for connecting various devices, it educates the community about M2M, provides sample uses, and offers blog posts by enthusiasts.
For sample projects, documentation and downloads, please visit http://DeviceHive.com.

Pakistan Unhappy Over Reports US Drone Strikes Will Continue
US Seen Planning to 'Exempt' Pakistan From New Rules on Killings
Reports floating around over the past few days that the US is planning to explicitly exempt Pakistan from their new, actual rules about when they can assassinate somebody overseas has hit the floor of the Pakistani Senate, and they're not happy.
Key Senators lashed Obama, saying this sort of perpetual warfare is the exact opposite of what he talked about in his inauguration speech, and that it sets the stage for a serious worsening of US-Pakistani ties. Pakistan has formally objected to US drone strikes in the past, but US officials have said the complaints weren't in the proper channels, and therefore they assume Pakistan is still willing to accept them.
Foreign Minister Hina Khar addressed the Senate, saying that the government continues to be of the opinion that drone strikes are a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty as well as international law, and that she intends to "take up the issue" with US officials again.
Yet such promises aren't new, and so far the Pakistani government seems unable to do anything about the US attacks. With early elections now looming and the drone strikes hugely unpopular, it is likely that many opposition parties will run on the issue of being more proactive in stopping US attacks than the ruling PPP, seen as a US ally, has been.

The Crowley Maritime Corp. tugboat 'Explorer' has been awarded a letter of commendation from the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) for assisting a stricken vessel 30 miles west of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, in December.
Crowley crewmembers quickly responded to the 20-foot vessel, which had run out of fuel, providing the crew of two with water, life jackets, flashlights and a hand-held radio until the Coast Guard arrived to provide further assistance.
Crowley's Andrew Legge, manager of operation integrity, ship management , accepted the letter on behalf of theExplorercrew at the CSA safety awards banquet, recently held in New Orleans. CSA safety awards are given annually to crews who render assistance to those in danger at sea.
The letter of recognition said: "We commend the crew of the Tug Explorerfor [its] actions and dedication to duty December 19, 2012, when you notified the U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center, Miami, Fl, that you were on scene with a 20-foot vessel which was disabled with two persons onboard … your actions exemplify the devotion to duty and professionalism of the merchant mariner."
The Explorer, based in Jacksonville, is used in Crowley's Puerto Rico liner services operation, regularly towing company-owned triple-deck Ro/Ro barges between Jacksonville and San Juan.

nasty plot
Quote originally posted by Magmaruby and Aquasapphire:
Actually Mar is Spanish for Sea, Playa is beach.
Marr is a good name though ^_^ (and reminds me of swampert now xD)
Gertrude would be funny, it sound so grown up for her xD Though considering her father wants to be an actor and Gertrude is a name from a certain play (Hamlet) it might happen ;)
View original post
But great idea! She could be Gertrude, Marianna, Elizabeth. But she'd probably funk up the names like Trudi, Mari and Lexi. I'm pretty sure she'd do something like that and her dad will call her by her full name ^^
Marr! For Shizui. I can see this one being his name. Mar in Spanish is sea while Marr is an actual name (German for swamp).
nononononono YOU ARE NOT DOING GERTRUDE GAMEFREAK/NINTENDO/POKEMON OVERLORDS.
Gertrude is one of the worst names ever imo and she would suddenly lose her appeal so much she needs something a little less insane. :( I do like Lexi for her though!
(No offense if someone is named Gertrude I just really dislike that name I'm sorry XD;)

What's easier now than later? George Northup responds
2 Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
Reminder: Last week, I wrote a post called It Never Gets Easier Than Now. This week I'm featuring responses from people I admire on what's easier to do when we're younger. This is the final entry in the series.
George Northup, CEO of Auctiondrop, writes:
In my twenties i had no wife and children, no mortgage, and time seemed unlimited. It was an ideal time to delve deep into career pursuits, working 24X7 passionately and, at the same time, there was somehow ample time left over to pursue intellectual, social, pursuits outside the office.
For example, during my twenties, I helped turn a $5 million company into a $150 million company in under 18 months. At the same time, despite massive office time, I trained every night until midnight to run the marine corps marathon–which i finished successfully. Also during this time, i was president of the Duke University alummi group in Washington D.C. and grew this membership from 500 to over 6,000 members. Lastly, I also taught myself to sail during this period and spent many, many weekends sailing in the chesapeake bay. Also, I found it easy to attend virtually any social event, reception, concert at a moment's notice and was always out doing things.
To summarize, the twenties are a great time to take advantage of working hard, exploring, growing, meeting and cultivating friends. One continues this later in life, but it becomes more challenging as responsibilities suck up time…
If you read this and think to yourself, "Oh, that fancy CEO…maybe he could do that, but I never could," you're committing The Shrug Effect.
See the original article that inspired this, It Never Gets Easier Than Now.

Man critical after black ice crash
Relevant offers
North Canterbury
A foreign rebuild worker is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a van he was travelling in smashed into a power pole, snapping it into three pieces.
It was one of four crashes north of Christchurch yesterday where black ice was likely involved, police said.
Inspector Derek Erasmus said emergency services were called to the scene of the serious crash on South Eyre Rd shortly after 6am.
A van carrying three Filipino workers had hit black ice, slid sideways off the road and smashed into a power pole, Erasmus said.
The power pole snapped into three pieces.
A 38-year-old man suffered critical injuries and was flown to Christchurch Hospital. He remained in hospital this morning fighting for his life.
Two other men suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the crash.
The trio had been living at a forest camp in North Canterbury.
Erasmus said black ice was a likely factor in the four crashes yesterday. He warned people to drive to the conditions.
"We had a string of cold days and it shouldn't be a surprise to people that there's ice on the road."
