Media Dragon: Live E(l)ections in Amerika
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both voted in the US presidential election, with the Republican mogul garnering both cheers and jeers as he cast his ballot at a New York school. Polls in the east will begin to close at 11:00am AEDT.
ABC Down Under
Ikinoclast : More broadly, this Trumpalist development of a new US Trumpire is all of a piece with the USA’s trajectory since Reagan. A “B” movie actor became President then and now a B “Reality” TV presenter becomes President. This trajectory has about reached its nadir. History repeats itself, “first as tragedy, then as farce,” as Karl Marx wrote.
The Republicans now control just about everything in US politics. Republicans now control the House and the Senate and will have the Presidency in the new year. They control most state governorships too with 31 Republican controlled legislatures, 11 Democrat-controlled legislatures
and 11 split legislatures.
I’ve been warning that neoliberalism and capitalism are not done with us yet. The worst is still to come. Maybe a few people will start to see this “Cold Fact” (as Sixto Rodriguez would call it) John Quiggin Trump voters are Romney-voters

Academic and Creative Writing Journal Vikram Karve: Girl “Seeing”
“I have seen people borrow shirts – but you have “bummed” my trousers too…” I said to “X”.
“Yes. You gift my fiancée’s mother the most exclusive perfume – and for my fiancée – you have nothing. Tell me – what will my fiancée feel...?” my friend “X” said angrily to me.

Lightseekers Camp: Lightseekers 2016 Day 3 - Morning Beauty
We woke this morning to a beautiful, clear day. The rain is gone and the kids are excited about going to the pool later. Breakfast was great -pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, sausage links. Afterwards it was morning chapel where Jim continued to ask Whom do you serve? Yesterday's theme was about being humble and today's theme is about being honest. Both are very much related as Jim pointed out - we are humble when we are honest about Who God is (just as we've discussed the previous two days) as well as when we are honest about who we are. We think that we can do things on our own, without God's help, but that sort of thinking can lead to disaster. Sometimes it is hard to follow Jesus and understand what He is doing. Even Jesus' disciples struggled with this after seeing some pretty amazing things like Jesus feeding 5000 or Him walking on water. Some, in John 6 deserted Him. "Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God." When we are honest with ourselves, we realize that we cannot serve Anyone else, not even us.

It was absolutely a great experience to stay at Atila's apartment. He is a really good host, friendly and helpful. The apartment located at a great location. Thank you Atila to pick me up from the airport. Muita obrigada!
Sauyan Gloria 2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Great appartment in a very good location. It is nearby tram and metro, but still in a quiet yet fun neighboorhood. Atila was very responsive and helpful. For a 1.85+ person in lenght is the bed a little too small. We did however sleep well and highly recommend this appartement. We liked starting the day with a coffee on the balcony!
Atila arranged for me to get the keys and gave me all the relevant information so I wasn't worried about the checkin. The apartment is very nice, clean and has an excellent sauna. It's close to the city centre and near the water too. Definitely recommend anyone visiting Helsinki to stay here.
Atila is a very professional host. He replied fast and everything was clean and well prepared. We very much enjoyed our stay in his appartment. The appartment's location is very convenient. There are shops and a metro station close by. The area is quiet and nice and were perfectly happy about everything. Thank you very much Matthias & Alex
We had a fabulous stay in Atila's cosy apartment. It is very modern and comfortable in a great location close to the water and the city in a quiet area & also close to a supermarket & tram & metro. All our queries were dealt with promptly & Atila was very helpful to ensure all or needs were attended to. The sauna was fantastic & a great way to relax after a busy day exploring beautiful Helsinki. Planning our return already! Thank you Atila! Hope to see you next time.
Atila konnte bei der Ankunft leider nicht selbst vor Ort sein, hat uns jedoch rechtzeitig und ausführlich informiert wo der Schlüssel zu finden ist und wie wir in die Wohnung gelangen können. Das Apartment selbst ist eine schöne, kleine, stilvoll eingerichtete und saubere Wohnung in der man sich definitiv wohlfühlen kann. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr zentral und stadtnah. Bei -18 Grad Außentemperatur ist man dann auch sehr dankbar dafür, dass Metrostation und Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke sind und man sich abends in der Sauna aufwärmen kann. Die Kommunikation mit Atila und seiner Stieftochter über (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) war schnell und zuverlässig. Das WLAN-Passwort ist übrigens schwer zu lesen auf der Rückseite vom Router versteckt ;) Alles in allem ist ein Aufenthalt hier für ein paar Tage sehr zu empfehlen!
Kadda2017-01-06T00:00:00Z
5 stars in my book.. everything is top notch and he really take care of you like a true super host! This was my second time and I will guaranteed be back again
Miikka2017-05-13T00:00:00Z
This house is located in a park, which is near the center and the bus station. The decoration of this house is perfect and unique! The whole house is well equipped! Toni is a kind host!! Strongly recommend!
Toni's place is really great. Love the art and just the general feeling of the apartment. Unfortunately I could not really talk to Toni as he was away most of the time but he seems like a great guy. He accommodated me with my unusual arrival time and I'm really grateful. I would recommend Toni's place to anybody who want to visit Helsinki!
Really enjoyed my stay at Toni's. His flat offers great amenities and location for an excellent price. Moreover, Toni himself is eminently friendly and helpful.
SUMMARY - Luminous top floor apartment with elevator - Walking distance to all amenities - Central location - Excellent transport connections - Unlimited Wifi
Welcome to Helsinki. My apartment is in a residential house with business premises downstairs and it is built in 1926. In the spacious stairwell you take elevator to the 5th floor. Here on top floor we have your holiday home. The unit consists of hallway, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room and 2 balconies. KITCHEN is well equipped with stove, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice box, coffee maker, toaster, microwave owen, pots and pans and tableware. Kitchen balcony is facing east and here you can have your morning coffe. BEDROOM has 120 cm wide futon. If this is wide enough for one or two, it is your choice :) In addition I have a foldaway bed with slatted bed base. Both beds are provided with bed linen. Here is also bureau for your laptop (the wireless printer is in the kitchen). The bedroom balcony is facing west, so here you can serve your afternoon tea. BATHROOM is designed in the twenties and there is not room enough for a spa, but all the essentials are here: shower as well as a washing machine, hair dryer and fresh towels LIVING ROOM here we have voluminous Howard sofa, a couple of armchairs with coffee table and TV. You have a cable TV network with internet digi box in your disposal, so you should find something interesting to watch. And of course fast wireless internet. Free Wifi! is unlimited so you can use it as much as you want. So let's get started with your holiday SHOP TILL YOU DROP Just across the street is a 7-Eleven (Siwa) with basic groceries. If you want a better assortment, you go to S-Market at Hietaniemi square (5 min walk). There is also the closest pharmacy and liquor store. On the way back you can take a look what they have on the flea market - I usually see only old baby clothes as others find fabulous stuff. Malls Kamppi (5 min walk) and Forum (10 min walk) are both in vicinity. Kamppi houses besides the shops the closest metro station and bus terminal for both local and interurban transport. If you prefer to shop in department stores you can go to Stockmann`s (15 min walk). In addition this area is filled with shops and boutiques. EAT TILL YOU DROP On the very same building is a finnish smorgasbord restaurant "Konstan Möljä". There you can explore the finnish way of cooking. Connoisseurs of good food direct their journey to Hietalahti Market Hall - Gourmets heaven on earth. This old bazaar style building is filled with delicatessen where you buy premium groceries and restaurants where you can eat on premises. Whether you like domestic or exotic cuisines, Michelin stars or less formal eating in this area you have multiple choise of restaurants. TRAVEL TILL YOU DROP Tram and bus stops are in the immediate vicinity. Tram lines 6 and 9 going from west harbour to railway station and further. Buses 65A and 66A from Lauttasaari via railway station to the north. Most of the Espoo buses stops here as well. From Kamppi (5 min walk) you can take metro to the east and visit "Itäkeskus - the largest mall in Scandinavia" or jump in a interurban bus and visit any city of your choice. From railway station (15 min walk) you can travel to Lapland or Russia. From West Harbour (15 min walk) you can take a ferry boat to Tallinn or St Petersburg and enjoy a nice summer day on deck RELAX TILL YOU DROP On a sunny day it is nice to have a picnic. Sinebrychoff park is only 5 min walk away. Besides the beautiful park there is an old brewery and a manor house. In the manor house is the biggest private art gallery in Finland. You can also go to the market square (20 min walk) and there fill your picnic basket with treats and take a boat to Suomenlinna fortress island. If a crowded island does not sound good, make a lunch cruise to the archipelago instead, or take romantic M/S Runeberg to the touristic city of Porvoo. If you feel like walking, you can stroll along the seaside and admire the archipelago. When you go south you will find several marinas, cafes and parks. From the south you will find the brand new sauna world "Löyly" aswell. Heading north along the waterfront you come to Hietaniemi cemetery - a beautiful park, Hietsu beach for swimming and further north is Seurasaari outdoor museum and recreation area. Actually you can walk as long as you want and the waterfront never ends.
Mukava keskusta-asunto hyvällä sijainnilla. Majoittuminen/poislähtö sujuivat joustavasti.

Sehr zentrale Lage, Lift im Haus – eine schöne kleine Markthalle mit diversen Imbissständen gleich um die Ecke
Timo, has been a great host, the house was clean and in a central position, I found everything I needed and thank him for the hosting.
Nice apartment with a great location. Everything went really smooth with Timo.
Petri2015-06-15T00:00:00Z
Avaimen luovutus onnistu tosi näppärästi ja samoin huone-esittely. Kaikki tarpeellinen oli käytettävissä. Rauhallinen talo ja huoneisto oli siisti.
Seija 2015-07-05T00:00:00Z
Timo oli ystävällinen majoittaja ja järjesti meille autokyydin satamasta asunnolle saavuttuamme Helsinkiin. Yhteydenpito sujui jouhevasti. Asunto oli loistavalla paikalla ja tilava kolmelle ihmiselle. Suosittelen!
Niina2015-07-27T00:00:00Z
The flat was amazing, in the heart of the city, near restaurants, it had everything you needed, it was incredibly well decorated and furnished, there is from a laptop computer to a printer if you need to work, the kitchen is also well equipped. There are two cosy balconies (unfortunately the weather wasn't that warm and I couldn't use them). I didn't get to meet Timo, although he gave me all the information I needed beforehand. His friend Rob came to pick me up at the railway station and was very kind. Timo has all types of guides and instructions about everything you need in Helsinki and the flat. It's one of my most positive experiences on this site. I really recommend it to anyone that wants to have a good time in Helsinki.
Ramiro2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
Timo was very helpful and inviting. He was there at the flat to meet us when we arrived and available to contact if we needed anything more, which we didn't. His flat is well-located (10 min walk into the very centre), is spacious, clean and a pleasure to be in. The minmarket over the road and two balconies are a real bonus!
Die Wohnung war modern und spartanisch eingerichtet. Einen Parkplatz für das Auto fanden wir in unmittelbarer Nähe. Zur City sind es etwa 20 Min. zu Fuß. Es war ein angenehmer Aufenthalt. Danke
Dorothea2016-10-21T00:00:00Z
I stayed for one night, they were very active in messaging me so I knew exactly what was happening. I can recommed this host, a very good apartment, good location
The flat is fantastic, spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything works (as you would imagine in Finland!), and the location is perfect to visit the harbour and a cute small food market just down the building, you will love it. Henri and Sini are very efficient and professional hosts, quick to answer any request or fix any problem. They are used to helping foreigners to settle and find their marks in the city. Be aware that you won’t actually be living with them (they live in a nearby flat) so don’t expect a deep cultural exchange, but be certain you can rely on them if you need anything. I absolutely recommend anyone to stay at their place!
Sini was very kind and communicated when when I unfortunately was unable to visit! Thanks again!
Sini's flat is a wonderful place to stay if you are in Helsinki. I spent one night there together with a friend - everything was clean and prepared for us. The flat is spacious and modern, the kitchen very well equipped. There are two airbnb rooms in the flat, but your own door can be locked with a key, so privacy is guaranteed. Everything in the city center can be visited on foot. All in all we had a very pleasant stay - I would recommend the place to everyone.

Hietalahti market hall at the square is just across the street and very nice
Inkeri2017-02-28T00:00:00Z
BEDROOM, The bed is in an alcove and it's a low futon style frame with a comfortable mattress that is slightly bigger than a queen sized bed (160cm wide), with light dimming curtains to keep it nice and dark. It has two soft blankets and pillows. All the linen is also included in your stay. KITCHEN, The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, a french press, coffee, tea and all the other essentials you might need. BATHROOM, The bathroom has a standing shower stall and all the necessities that include toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, bandages, hair spray and other products. We will also provide you with a set of towels so no need to bring your own! LIVINGROOM, Free fast wifi in the entire apartment. There is a couch that can double as a bed if there are three guests at the same time. A glass coffee table with some magazines and also a bookshelf with some books to read while relaxing. NEARBY, There is a convenience store just on the other side of the street that is open until 12pm on weekdays and until 5am on the weekends. Also restaurants and late night snack places are just a few minutes away. Parking is free on Sunday's and 4€/hour on weekdays and Saturdays from 9am to 9pm, there is a ticket machine for parking in front of our building. TRANSPORTATION, You are already located in the center when you stay in this apartment! The area is called Kamppi and you are just a 5 minute walk from the design district and some nice shopping areas. If you are arriving from the airport, you can take the Finnair bus, it costs 6,70€ and you can purchase the ticket from the driver. It will take you straight to the Helsinki Central Railway Station (25min drive). The Finnair bus leaves approximately every 15min from the airport so no need for a long wait. You can also take a local bus or train from the airport with a lower fee and they will also get you to the city center in about 30-50 min. From the Railway Station it is only a 10 minute walk to the apartment.
Ich kann das Apartment nur wärmstens empfehlen. Es ist genauso modern und typisch skandinavisch eingerichtet wie auf den Bildern. Katri ist sehr nett, hilfsbereit und hat uns einige hilfreiche Tipps gegeben, die wir auch ausprobiert haben.
Katri has a lovely apartment with great location. You can easy to go everywhere whatever on foot or taking railway. Katri is very familiar about the local restaurant and nice. There is a good place you can enjoy Helsinki
YINGYU2017-02-03T00:00:00Z
Hip, schoon en comfortabel appartement midden in het Design Destrict van Helsinki. Ideale uitvalsbasis voor een weekend Helsinki!
Asunto sijaitsi todella lähellä keskustaa, silti ympäristö oli rauhallinen. Kaikki tarvittava löytyi asunnosta kahdelle hengelle ja plussaa Katrin avuliaisuudesta ja yhteistyön sujuvuudesta :-) Suosittelen lämpimästi!
It was the first time we used Airbnb, Katri is a wonderful host, the apartment is absolutely lovely. Contact was no problem at any time, we were picked up at Helsinki Central Station, while our short walk, Katri told us about the surrounding area, where to shop, where to eat - super helpful in every way. The apartment is just great! Clean, cute, central located and ideal for a stay in Helsinki. With a short walk you can reach Harbour District, Design District and, if you like, a bunch of Malls. We absolutely can recommend the apartment and prefer it to any Hotel.
Matthäus2016-10-06T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time in Katri's beautiful apartment, her communication was really good, and the apartment was immaculate and was positioned perfectly. Katri was also very helpful, and was always on hand should we need her. And we enjoyed Finland very much, it was just beautiful, GO!!
Katri's apartment was great. The location is an easy walk from the central rail station and bus station. The immediate surrounding neighborhood is absolutely stuffed with shops, bars, restaurants and so on. The apartment itself was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. The bed was cozy and the extra curtains are a great touch to keep out the street lighting. We had all of the essentials for cooking as well as plenty of coffee provided with the apartment.
We had a great time here, nice place, near city, clean, and waited for us and gave us all the information for having a perfect vacations.
María Luisa2017-07-14T00:00:00Z
L'alloggio di John e' indicato per una famiglia ed è molto confortevole. L'appartamento è nuovo e spazioso provvisto di ogni confort. Si trova in una zona residenziale a sole due fermate di metro dal centro storico e dalla stazione centrale. Inoltre è a poche centinaia di metri da uno dei porti di Helsinki. John è sempre disponibile per consigli e aiuto. È senza dubbio una buona location per chi deve visitare Helsinki.
John was a great host and the description of the apartment was very accurate! The place was very clean and slept three comfortably. Would love to stay there again!
John's flat is lovely, the sauna and porch are as nice as we had hoped, and #9 tram makes getting around so convenient!
John great host and place. We were able to use your new apartment as a base for so many excursions using the nearby metro, tram and ferry. We even were able to make a day trip to Estonia and back all while being close to a nice sized supermarket and safe neighborhood. Thanks for checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.
Home was really beautiful and nice. Next time I know where to come !
Nanne2017-07-30T00:00:00Z
Kaarina's place is a warming And comfortable. The place just looks like picture. The location is near bus stop and 10 minutes to station. We had wonderful 3 days stay Highly recommende(URL HIDDEN) 這是一個溫馨又舒適的超棒空間,現場跟照片真的完全一樣,主人提供很多貼心的日常用品及設備,位置交通非常方便,很感謝Kaarina讓我們在這能有三天非常愉快居住體驗,誠心推薦給大家
The apartment is ok and well located. We found almost eveything clean, but there were things that we had to wash. The owner was suposed to recieve us but instead She sent indications to enter and leave the place. Never met her in person. We thought it was all ok until we arrived home and 2 days later She asked us to pay 277 € for a thing She said we burnt and still dont know what She was talking about (we stayed 3 nights and paid 253 €) . Its a pitty that a trip that was for relax ended so badly. I would recommend that you mane sure She opens the door for you and show you around and check the apartment when you leave. Ive Never had a single problem with any airbnb host, this was a total surprise.
We had a fantastic stay! The place is perfect for a couple, nice and close to the metro, tram stops and a supermarket. We walked everywhere and found it really close to the main sights. Would recommend staying here for sure.
The Metro is very close to the apartment. Ilkka is very flexible and picked me up at the metro station.
Ilkka was very flexible host. Apartment was ok for my needs. Location is excellent. Plenty of free parking places (but only for 2hrs) in the neighbourhood.
Antti2016-04-22T00:00:00Z
The flat was very nice. Ilkka was very helpful for my arrival and my leaving. Thanks you a lot.
Nice and clean apartment about 100 meters away from a metro stop. I would definitely recommend this!
Mirka2016-09-29T00:00:00Z
Everything ok, nice and comfortable appartment in the center of Helsinki in a quiet neiberhood near to a metro station and a supermaket. Thanks for all Ilkka

The circuit arrangement includes an electrical switch (TR1 through TR6) that applies a pulse-shaped signal (S1 through S4) to the electrical machine. The free-running circuit also includes an electrical switch (TR1 through TR6). A comparator (15) is provided which compares the free-running current flowing in the free-running circuit with a predefined threshold value and, if the current drops below the threshold value, provides a switching signal (S3A) that is used to deactivate the switch (TR1 through TR6) in the free-running circuit. The circuit arrangement reduces both the electrical power loss in the circuit arrangement and the mechanical power loss in the electrical machine. Images(4) Claims(11)
What is claimed is: 1. A circuit arrangement for operating electrical machines which include an inductive component, comprising a switch (TR1 through TR6) which switches the electrical machine using a pulse-shaped signal (S1 through S4); a free-running circuit which includes a switch (TR1 through TR6); a comparator (15) which compares the free-running current flowing in the free-running circuit with a predefined threshold value and, in response to the current dropping below the threshold value, supplies a switching signal (S3A) for deactivating the switch (TR1 through TR6) in the free-running circuit. 2. The circuit arrangement as recited in claim 1, wherein the predefined threshold is set to the value zero to detect the zero passage of the free-running current. 3.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0001] The present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating an electrical machine. [0002] A circuit arrangement for activating and deactivating an electrical machine, having an inductive component in which a free-running circuit that is connected in parallel to the electric machine reduces the magnetic energy stored in the inductive component after deactivation, is known from German Patent Application A 42 29 440. The free-running circuit includes a switch, for example a MOSFET, that is activated immediately after deactivation of the output stage. The advantage of using a switch in free-running mode instead of a diode is that less power is lost while current is flowing in the free-running circuit. The active state of the switch positioned in the free-running circuit ends when an activation signal is generated for the electrical machine. [0003] A step-down constant-current transformer, which is equipped with switches operating as synchronous rectifiers to reduce power loss, is known from German Patent Application A 198 41 341. In pulsating mode, a reverse current that flows through the choke from the output in the direction of the input may temporarily occur. To avoid the reverse current flowing through the synchronous rectifier, a device for detecting the current direction is provided to evaluate the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier. [0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a circuit arrangement for operating electrical machines having an inductive component that makes it possible to optimize efficiency. [0005] The object is achieved by the features specified in the independent claim. ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION [0006] In the circuit arrangement according to the present invention for operating an electrical machine having an inductive component, a switch is initially provided that applies a pulse-shaped control signal to the electrical machine. A free-running circuit that also includes a switch is present. A comparator compares the current flowing in the free-running circuit with a predefined threshold value and, if the current drops below the threshold value is undershot, provides a switching signal that is used to deactivate the switch in the free-running circuit. [0007] The circuit arrangement according to the present invention makes it possible to activate a free-running mode. [0008] An important advantage of the circuit arrangement according to the present invention is that it reduces power loss. This reduction in power loss applies to the electrical losses in the free-running circuit that result in heating as well as to the mechanical losses in the electrical machine. [0009] The electrical losses in the free-running circuit are reduced by the switch used according to the related art described in German Patent Application A 42 29 440 instead of by a diode. The mechanical losses in the electrical machine are reduced by detecting the free-running current flowing in the free-running circuit, this current being compared to a predefined threshold value by the comparator. The switching signal generated by the comparator deactivates the switch in the free-running circuit if the current drops below the threshold value. Due to the mechanical energy stored in the electrical machine, the electrical machine continues to rotate during interpulse pauses in the pulse-shaped control signal. If the switch in the free-running circuit were not deactivated, the induced voltage present across the inductive component of the electrical machine would cause, upon the decay of the free-running current initially flowing in the positive direction, a rapid rise in free-running current in the negative direction, which is associated with an unwanted braking of the electrical machine. The features according to the present invention effectively prevent this braking action from occurring by deactivating the electronic switch in the free-running circuit. [0010] The circuit arrangement according to the present invention is particularly suitable for operating the electrical machine using a pulse-width-modulated signal that is used to set the average operating voltage of the electrical machine. [0011] Advantageous embodiments and refinements of the circuit arrangement according to the present invention are derived from the dependent claims. [0012] According to an advantageous embodiment, the threshold value of the comparator is set to a value of at least approximately zero. This makes it possible to detect a zero current that results in the provision, by the comparator, of the switching signal that deactivates the switch in the free-running circuit at the optimum point in time. [0013] According to an advantageous embodiment, the current flowing in the free-running circuit is detected on the basis of the voltage drop across the switch in the free-running circuit. A separate current sensor is unnecessary. [0014] According to an advantageous embodiment of the circuit arrangement according to the present invention, the windings of the electrical machine are positioned in an H-bridge circuit that includes two high-side switches and two low-side switches. The bridge circuit enables the electrical machine to reverse its direction of rotation. [0015] According to an advantageous embodiment of the H-bridge, one high-side switch is continuously active, one low-side switch is supplied with a pulse width modulated control signal, and the other high-side switch is assigned the free-running function. [0016] According to an advantageous alternative embodiment of the H-bridge circuit, one low-side switch is continuously active, one high-side switch is supplied with the pulse-width-modulated control signal, and the other low-side switch is assigned the free-running function. [0017] According to an advantageous embodiment, MOSFET transistors are used as switches. Due to their low forward resistance in the active state, transistors of this type are especially suitable for applications that have low operating voltages and high operating currents. [0018] The circuit arrangement according to the present invention is preferably used in polyphase machines such as BLDC (brushless DC) motors and multiple-phase synchronous motors. [0019] Additional advantageous embodiments and refinements of the circuit arrangement according to the present invention are derived from the additional dependent claims and the following description.
DRAWING [0020]FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a bridge inverter circuit having a three-phase BLDC motor; [0021]FIG. 2 shows an H-bridge as a detail of the bridge inverter illustrated in FIG. 1; and [0022] FIGS. 3A-3E show signal curves as a function of time in the bridge inverter according to FIG. 1 and the H-bridge according to FIG. 2.
[0023] The bridge inverter illustrated in FIG. 1 includes three series circuits, located between a supply voltage UB and ground 10, each of which includes two switches TR1, TR2; TR3, TR4; TR5, TR6. Switches TR1, TR3, TR5 connected to supply voltage UB are referred to as high-side switches, while switches TR2, TR4, TR6 connected to ground 10 are referred to as low-side switches. Switches TR1, TR2; TR3, TR4; TR5, TR6 are controlled by a first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth control signal S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6. [0024] An electrical machine, which is not illustrated in further detail, includes a first, second and third winding W1, W2, W3. Windings W1, W2, W3 are connected in a star configuration. The series circuit formed by first and second windings W1, W2 is located in the diagonal of an H-bridge 11 that includes switches TR1 and TR3 as high-side switches and switches TR2 and TR4 as low-side switches. The series circuit formed by second and third windings W1, W3 is located in the diagonal of an H-bridge that includes switches TR3 and TR5 as high-side switches and switches TR4 and TR6 as low-side switches. The series circuit formed by first and third windings W1, W3 is located in the diagonal of an H-bridge that includes switches TR1 and TR5 as high-side switches and switches TR2 and TR6 as low-side switches. [0025] The current flowing in switch TR3 is detected by a first current detector 12, and the current flowing in switch TR5 is detected by a second current detector 13. Current detectors 12, 13 are connected to a current analyzer system that emits a switching signal S. [0026]FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of H-bridge 11, which is identified by the broken line in FIG. 1. Structure-specific diodes D1 through D4, whose cathode-side ends each point in the direction of supply voltage UB, are shown near switches TR1 through TR4. The series circuit of first and second winding W1, W2 of the electrical machine, which is not illustrated in further detail, is supplemented by an induced voltage UP, which, in synchronous machines, is referred to as the synchronous electromotive force. [0027] Voltage drop UDS across switch TR3 is supplied to a comparator 14, which sends a switching signal S3A to a switching logic 15. Switching logic 15 sends third control signal S3 to third switch TR3 as a function of switching signal S3A and as a function of a further switching signal S3B. [0028]FIGS. 3A through 3E show first, third and fourth control signals S1, S3, S4 as well as switching signals S3A and S3B as a function of time t in each case. [0029] Fourth control signal S4 changes from an inactive level zero to an active level one at a first point in time T1 and from active level one to inactive level zero at a second point in time T2. The difference between second and first points in time T1, T2 is equal to a activation, time PD. Fourth control signal S4 changes back from inactive level zero to active level one at a third point in time T3. The difference between third point in time and first point in time T3, T1 is equal to a period PRT. [0030] According to FIG. 3B, first control signal S1 is continuously set to active level one during the illustrated time segment. [0031] According to FIG. 3C, switching signal S3B changes from inactive level zero to active level one at second point in time T2 and from active level one to inactive level zero at third point in time T3. [0032] Switching signal S3A occurs at a fourth point in time T4, which lies between second and third points in time T2, T3. Switching signal S3A changes in a pulsating manner from inactive level zero to active level one and back to inactive level zero. [0033] Third control signal S3 illustrated in FIG. 3E changes from inactive level zero to active level one at second point in time T2 and returns to inactive level zero at fourth point in time T4. [0034] To avoid bridge short-circuits, differential times, which are not discussed in further detail here, are added in practice. The circuit arrangement according to the present invention is explained in greater detail on the basis of FIG. 2: [0035] Based on the bridge inverter illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of H-bridge 11 that is highlighted in FIG. 1. Switching functions, which are not discussed in further detail, occur in the additional H-bridges as a function of the predefined flow schemes of windings W1, W2, W3 of the electrical machine, which is not illustrated in further detail. Current detectors 12, 13, current evaluation system 14 and switching signal S illustrated in FIG. 1 correspond to voltage drop UDS, comparator 15 and switching signal S3A in FIG. 2. Accordingly, the current is detected only by evaluating voltage drop UDS across third switch TR3 and supplied to comparator 15, without using an additional sensor. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the threshold value needed for comparator 15 is identical to a reference value of voltage drop UDS, which should be equal to the potential present at the connection between third and fourth switches TR3, TR4. If voltage drop UDS exceeds the threshold value, switching signal S3A assumes the zero level, and if voltage drop UDS drops below the threshold value, switching signal S3A assumes active level one. [0036] Switching signal S3A is supplied to switching logic 16, which provides third control signal S3, which is intended for third switch TR3 and is generated from switching signal S3B. Switching signal S3B and additional control signals S1, S2, S3 are provided by a control circuit that is not illustrated in further detail. [0037] By way of example, H-bridge 11 illustrated in FIG. 2 is equivalent to the energizing of first and second windings W1, W2 of star-connected windings W1, W2, W3. Activation time PD of fourth switch TR4 corresponds to the energizing phase, and the time difference between third and second points in time T3, T2 corresponds to the free-running phase of first and second winding W1, W2. The process repeats periodically within period PRT shown in FIG. 3A. This results in a pulsating operation. Pulse-width modulation is preferably provided, the modulation being carried out, in particular, by varying activation time TD. If necessary, period PRT may be exclusively or additionally varied. For example, period PRT may lie within a microsecond range according to a clock frequency in the kilohertz range. [0038] The procedure illustrated in greater detail in FIG. 2 may be used in the same manner for all other winding combinations W1, W3; W2, W3. The remarks below are equally valid for delta-connected windings W1, W2, W3. Instead of sets of two windings W1, W2; W1, W3; W2, W3, windings W1, W2, W3 in this embodiment are each located individually in the diagonal of the H-bridge circuits. [0039] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, only voltage drop UDS across third switch TR3 is shown. In general, voltage drops UDS across all high-side switches TR1, TR3, TR5 or even across all switches TR1-TR6 of the inverter are provided. [0040] Upon energizing windings W1, W2 during activation time TD, a current builds up which flows through first switch TR1, through both windings W1, W2 and through fourth switch TR4. The current flow results in a positive power conversion in first and second winding W1, W2, which is represented by product UP*I and drives the electrical machine, which is not illustrated in further detail. At the end of activation time TD, the free-running phase of the current flowing through first and second winding W1, W2 begins between second and third points in time T2, T3. The free-running phase begins upon deactivation of fourth switch TR4 at second point in time T2. [0041] In an alternative embodiment that is not illustrated, first switch TR1 may also be closed. If, according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment, fourth switch TR4 is blocked at second point in time T2, this produces a free-running current that flows through first switch TR1, first and second windings W1, W2 and third switch TR3. [0042] Switches TR1 through TR6 conducting the free-running current must be suitably designed to conduct the free-running current. The illustrated exemplary embodiment preferably uses field-effect transistors, in particular MOS field-effect transistors that include structure-specific diodes D1 through D4. If a suitable free-running current path is not prepared in switches TR1 through TR6, discrete structural components that are able to conduct the free-running current must be provided. The free-running current in third switch TR3 generates a voltage drop corresponding to the diode conducting voltage across third diode D3. [0043] The power loss is significantly reduced, according to the present invention, when switches TR1 through TR6�or switch TR3 in the exemplary embodiment�are activated during free-running operation. In free-running mode, third switch TR3 is operated inversely. Switching signal S3B supplied by the control circuit, which is not illustrated in further detail, for third switch TR3 is maintained at the active level during the free-running phase between second and third times T2, T3, as shown in FIG. 3C. Because the conducting voltage of third diode D3 has been eliminated, only low voltage drop UDS occurs, which corresponds to the conducting voltage of third switch TR3 in the conducting state. [0044] The free-running current also produces positive potential in first and second windings W1, W2, according to positive product UP*I. The inductive energy stored in the inductive component of both windings W1, W2 is consumed. [0045] Because the electrical machine continues to rotate, the free-running current still flows after the decay of the inductively stored energy, since it is maintained by induced voltage UP of the electrical machine. However, the free-running current that is still maintained by induced voltage UP now has the opposite sign. In this mode, an unwanted negative potential occurs across first and second windings W1, W2, corresponding to a braking of the electrical machine. [0046] The free-running current is detected, and is determined indirectly in the illustrated exemplary embodiment via voltage drop UDS. The free-running current is compared to a predefined threshold value of comparator 15. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the threshold value is formed by the reference potential of voltage drop UDS. Comparator 15 emits switching signal S3A at fourth point in time T4 if voltage drop UDS at least approximately changes its sign. Depending on the sign change of voltage drop UDS, free-running current passes through zero at this point in time and changes from a positive to a negative value at point in time T4. [0047] Switching signal S3A emitted by comparator 15 is supplied to switching logic 16, which suppresses switching signal S3B from fourth point in time T4 onward. Third control signal S3 is therefore supplied to the third switch only during a period of time corresponding to the difference between fourth and second points in time T4, T2, as shown in FIG. 3E. Third switch TR3 is thus deactivated at fourth point in time T4. Third diode D3 is automatically blocked after the free-running current passes through zero. This means that the free-running current is no longer able to continue flowing through third switch TR3 from fourth point in time T4 onward. [0048] Second switch TR2 may be used instead of third switch TR3 to conduct the free-running current. In this embodiment, a control signal S1 corresponding to fourth control signal S4 shown in FIG. 3A is applied to first switch TR1, and a control signal S4 corresponding to first control signal S1 of first switch TR1 shown in FIG. 3B is applied to fourth switch TR4. [0049] In this embodiment, voltage drop UDS must be analyzed at second switch TR2. [0050] By activating a free-running mode, the circuit arrangement according to the present invention provides a low-loss mode of operation that requires less cooling effort for the inverter. The circuit arrangement according to the present invention is therefore especially suitable for operating high-amperage electrical machines. BLDC motors or asynchronous motors are preferably used as electrical machines. At comparatively low operating voltages in a range of less than 100 volts, which are available, for example, in motor vehicles, switches TR1 through TR6 may be implemented in the form of field-effect transistors, in particular MOS field-effect transistors, that include diodes D1 through D4 for structural reasons.

Sea Monkey Love | Dancing in the Rain
Sea Monkey Love	02
Saturday, Ruby purchased sea monkeys. Not familiar with these particular creatures? View the picture above. A favorite of the grade school set for generations. I remember seeing ads for them when I wore short pants. Oh wait…
Want more info? Here’s what I found on filtersfast.com:
Sea monkeys have been popular pets among children and adults for almost 50 years, and they are presently being sold in many countries around the world. Their lively nature does not only offer great entertainment, but they can help people develop a better understanding of marine life as well.
Sea monkeys were first introduced in the year 1957 by a marketer called Harold van Braunhut. They were initially called “Instant Life”, because they hatch instantly when the eggs come into contact with tap water. Later on, van Braunhut decided to use a more recognizable name for the creatures, and they became known as “Sea Monkeys”. In the 1970s, sea monkeys were widely marketed in comic books, and they were inaccurately portrayed as humanoid creatures with crowns on their heads. These appealing drawings helped the creatures gain popularity, and many people became attracted to their strange appearance and playful demeanor. Later on, accessories such as floating balls were added to the sea monkey kit, which initially consisted of only a plastic tank and packets of food. Now, a starter kit comes with a plastic tank, a sea monkey eggs packet, food, and a spoon for measuring food.
Following instructions, she allowed the water to purify for 24 hours. Next, she sprinkled the sea monkey eggs in the now-clean water. She stirred it up. Zip. Zilch. Bupkis. Every morning, she got up and took a look in the aquarium. Clear water greeted her, morning by morning.
“Mom, nothing’s going to happen”, she lamented before breakfast today.
Sea monkeys belong to the genus Artemia, and they are specifically known as Artemia NYOS. They are actually a hybrid of brine shrimps, and they are created in laboratories. Before sea monkey eggs are placed in packets and distributed to homes or stores, they will undergo the process of “cryptobiosis”, which puts them in suspended animation. The eggs will hatch when they are released into water, and sea monkeys will appear. Sea monkeys are multi-cell creatures, and they can grow to a length of one-half to three-quarters of an inch.
But just now I took a peek in the small tank. I wiggled the plastic holder from side to side. Look! There’s a swimmer! Tiny, white things fluttered in drink. Squinting at them up close, none of them look humanoid. Thank God. Aha. We have…parasites? Oh wait, brine shrimp. So, monkey is a misnomer. No bananas necessary.
I’m looking forward to some lively entertainment of the aquatic variety. All of this to say that patience will be rewarded. Getting frustrated will not hurry life’s processes along. Sea monkeys hatch when they’re supposed to. Put in the work, and maturity and growth will happen…in time.

also a good location, close to Liseberg and universeum as well as Korsvägen with lots of buses and trams if you want to explore the rest of the city. Also not too far from ICA Focus which is like a really good Sainsburys

ok location, close to public transport (19 min to the city centre). You don't want to bring the car anyway.

To Stamp With Love: 2010-09-26
Posted by SusieQ at 7:31 PM No comments:
Happy Halloween....It's a witchy time of the year. I saw this Shadow Box Card on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. She featured a Christmas theme and I decided to change it up and make it spooky. I got the witch stamp set a long time ago, Best Witches, from Eat Cake Graphics (the other stamp is a witch flying into a tree; sentiment "Don't drink and fly"...just love it!). The papers are Basic Grey's eerie collection. The spider web and spider are from Memory Box, "Web Crawler." I embossed this image in white on velum and stamped the spider with Memento ink. I used brads to hold the velum in place. I used copic markers to color and just cut around the image with scissors. The Boo stamp was one I got at Michael's for $1.00...thought the google eyes would be cute. I have another Halloween project to share later.

Pandemonium: June 2016

Posted by Kristen Kooistra at 12:00 AM 12 comments:
It's finally here! The day I never thought would come! I'm excited to share with you all that today my book, "Heart of the Winterland", is released! It's been a long journey that spans about 2 years from start to finish, but I made it. I've been wanting to write and publish a book ever since I was little, and now I finally have.
Heart of the Winterland is a clean, adult fantasy that has a fairytale vibe to it. The story starts with Princess Calisandra who's lived her entire life in the forgotten kingdom of Trabor--a place covered in a never-ending winter.
Princess Cali doesn't know what changed on the morning of her 200th birthday, but the sudden flood of emotions and curiosity leads her to drag her magical orb guardian, Voice, on a journey that quickly spins out of their control.
They bump into the sarcastic and abrasive Angel, who's fleeing from Duke Bludgaard who rules over the land of Shayal. Determined to recapture Angel, the duke sends the captain of his guard, Kota, on the hunt.
As they race across the country to escape the ruthless captain, Voice begins to weave the tale of Trabor's history from the point of view of Amee, a foreign child whose life is full of misfortune.
Heart of the Winterland is a tale of loss, betrayal, love, friendship, and striving to reach your full potential.
You can read more about Winterland at my website or buy it today on Amazon! Available in paperback and ebook!
And thank you to everyone who supported me along the way: My critique group for picking apart the manuscript over and over, fellow bloggers for interviewing me and announcing Winterland's arrival, my mom and husband for encouraging me to keep going, and my friends who cheered me on. Also special thanks to Corinne Morier for being the kid in the backseat going "Are we there yet?"

ORIGINAL COMIC ART LOCATOR: INTERVIEW: MIKE BURKEY--ROMITAMAN!
I felt that collectors would be able to afford buying small art ASM Romita art at 1000 a page 1 day when I would ever decide to sell...., but NO WAY would a collector be able to pay over 5000 for a Romita ASM cover... LOL....
Needless to say..... I was very wrong there! It's easy to see NOW that my estimations have been exceeded by over 10-fold on covers...... and pages!
obviously COVERS and SPLASH pages from any era for the most part will always be very sought after also

Posted by Glen Brunswick at 9:25 AM
Terry Doyle August 28, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Mike's enthusiasm for the hobby always shines through. He's a shrewd, clever guy, but always energetic and fun to deal with!
Some of my favorite pieces came to me from Mike, and he was very helpful in recent years when I consigned art to his site to help fund a house-move.
He locates some great stuff, so his web-site is always well-worth a look-in.
Glen Brunswick August 28, 2012 at 10:59 AM
I agree, Terry. Once Mike figures out what kind of stuff you like he begins to offer you things that are in your collecting wheelhouse--even before he puts them on his site. He loves the hunt and the chase, and really likes to move the stuff around quick.
Scott Williams August 29, 2012 at 8:17 AM
One of the things I like about Burkey is his intense love and FOCUS on what he collects. Unlike a lot of collectors who look for one or two examples of all their favorite artists and characters, Mike really made a very interesting and in the end wise move to only collect what meant the most to him. Even better, the fact that Romita wasn't as highly regarded when Mike first started collecting and wasn't swayed by the opinions of others is refreshing. It seems that a lot of collectors today who don't seem to have a clear idea about what they even like or think is good. They are often swayed by what they think is hot. Not usually a recipe for collecting success or happiness IMHO.
I really agree with Scott's comments above - it seems to me that so many collectors adopt a scatter gun approach to collecting. Those collections which really stand out to me are those which have an intense focus whether that be a particular artist, period or comic book
Charles David Viera August 30, 2012 at 6:55 AM
This was a great read!I've had many dealings with Mike but never had the opportunity to speak with him at length.
I was particularly interested in his comments on the investment value of certain pages. With your recent post concerning the smaller pages out pacing large art in value
it was good to hear that large silver age Marvel art is hot!
Keep up the good work Glen. I hope this is the first of a series, as I would love to read the views of Anthony Snyder,Al Moy and the views other dealers as to where this hobby/market is going.
Uncle Dave September 3, 2012 at 5:29 AM
An awesome article on one of the true "good guys" in this hobby. People are always wheeling and dealing, and wrangling to get the best end of a deal, but Mike is one of those curious individuals who not only loves and covets the art that he collects, but truly strives to make sure everyone feels satisfied at the end of a deal..he realizes how important a happy customer is, and for the majority of dealers that's really forward thinking on his part...a rare commodity in today's market.

The Bruins are 2-0-1 and Boston coach Claude Julien is expecting New York’s best effort Friday night at TD Garden.“This is a young hockey team that has a lot of skill, obviously, up front,” Julien said after the Bruins' morning skate. Their back end also has some guys that can move the puck well -- not only that, but can shoot the puck very well, also.”Since the Islanders’ Evgeni Nabokov has started all three games in net so far for New York, fellow goalie Rick DiPietro will get the nod tonight against the Bruins.“They’ve had some pretty good goaltending since the beginning,” Julien said. “They’ve done a good job, they seem to have their guys playing fairly well.

The "Food Hormone" Leptin, And Alzheimer's Disease | HuffPost
The "Food Hormone" Leptin, And Alzheimer's Disease
By Scott Mendelson, M.D.
For a number of years there has been evidence that leptin, a hormone involved in the regulation of appetite and fat metabolism in the body, might play a role in preventing Alzheimer's Disease. The strongest evidence has come from animal research. Laboratory rats genetically deficient in leptin have problems with memory and learning. A critical step in learning, called long term potentiation, is disturbed in these animals. Leptin has been found to reduce accumulation of amyloid plaque and abnormal forms of the protein tau in brains of mice genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's-like damage. Amyloid plaque and tangles of tau are hallmarks of Alzheimer's Disease in the human brain. Leptin also helps maintain neurons in rat brain by directing them away from a process called apoptosis, or what some scientists refer to as programmed cellular suicide.
It has been known that people who have Alzheimer's Disease tend to have low levels of leptin in their blood. There have also been findings that the amount of grey matter, where neurons reside, varies directly with levels of leptin in the blood. However, the significance of these finding in human subjects has been unclear. Now, in the December 16th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, there is a study more strongly suggesting that low levels of leptin may contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer's. It was found that normal individuals who have low levels of leptin in their blood are more likely than others to later develop the disease. These results suggest that a way to prevent Alzheimer's would be to administer leptin to increase levels of the hormone in the blood. Unfortunately, it may not be so simple.
Leptin was discovered in 1994 after scientists pursued the question of why a certain strain of mouse was prone to becoming extremely obese. It turned out that this mouse lacked a gene required to make a specific protein. When this protein was administered to the mice deficient in that gene, their voracious appetite for food decreased. They lost weight and returned to normal size. The protein was thus called leptin, which is derived from the Greek word for thin.
At first there was excitement in the medical community over the possibility that leptin might be the long awaited "thin" hormone that would be a powerful and natural treatment for obesity. Doctors assumed that, as in the mice, some obese humans might lack the ability to produce adequate amounts of the hormone. It was hoped that by administering leptin to those obese patients, they would regain a normal appetite and drop to a normal, healthy weight. Unfortunately, injecting leptin into their blood did not curb their appetites. Moreover, much to the surprise of researchers, it was found that the vast majority of obese humans were not deficient in leptin. Rather, these individuals often had abnormally high levels of leptin in their blood.
Leptin is produced primarily in visceral fat cells, and it was learned that the amount of fat stored within an individual fat cell determined how much leptin that cell produces and excretes into the blood. The reason obese people have so much leptin in the blood is that they have so much fat stored away in their fat cells. Since leptin cut appetite and weight in mice, and obese people had high levels of leptin, focus shifted toward the question of how the body could lose its ability to respond to leptin's command to stop eating. This loss of response to leptin is referred to as leptin resistance. It seems likely that if leptin acts to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's, then such risk might be increased either by an actual lack of leptin or merely by a reduction of leptin's effect due to leptin resistance.
The physiological mechanisms by which the brain becomes resistant to leptin
are not entirely known. Too much leptin, as may be seen in the obese, may itself cause the brain to stop responding to the substance. This is a common physiological phenomenon called tachphylaxis. Too much fructose in the diet can disturb the activity of leptin in tissue. High levels of insulin, which are seen in the pre-diabetic condition known as Metabolic Syndrome, interfere with the effectiveness of leptin in the brain.
There is also evidence that certain factors may prevent leptin from getting into the brain in sufficient amount. In obese people, the amount of leptin in the brain is low in comparison with levels in the blood. It has been learned that high levels of fat, particularly saturated fat, in the blood make it difficult for leptin to be transported into the brain The substance C-reactive protein, a recently recognized risk factor for heart disease, is known to bind to leptin and prevent its transport into the brain. C-reactive protein also tends to be elevated in Metabolic Syndrome and other conditions marked by inflammatory processes.
Because of the phenomenon of leptin resistance, it may not always be possible to benefit from administration of extra leptin. Might it be possible to synthesize a drug that mimics the beneficial effects of leptin on the brain and body, but bypasses leptin resistance? Perhaps, but I am not optimistic. Medication is never an adequate substitute for natural substances and processes in the body. It is wiser to pursue conditions which optimize the activity of natural leptin in the brain. The activity of leptin can be optimized by maintaining ideal weight. It can also be enhanced by replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat. Reducing saturated fat not only increases the transport of leptin into the brain, it also slightly increases levels of leptin in the blood, which in itself has been suggested to decrease the risk of Alzheimer's. Leptin activity can further be maintained by avoiding Metabolic Syndrome and the high fasting insulin levels and increased blood levels of fat as triglycerides that it brings.
The approach to optimizing leptin activity to decrease the risk of Alzheimer's should be built on healthy lifestyle choices. This in turn should be based on a proper diet, particularly the so-called Mediterranean diet that is low in saturated fat, low in high glycemic index carbohydrates, and high in good fats such as olive oil and fish oils. Add exercise, stress reduction, adequate sleep; and a healthy outlook on life. Reliance on high technology and appeals to the miraculous are unnecessary.

Project High Tea with the Butterflies
Posted by csiewcheng on December 19, 2013
I've been staying at 2 places nowadays and it's hard to blog. It's even harder to blog when I keep going back to my hometown recently where there's no internet connection. How I wish I have a tablet or if my RM5k lappy's motherboard didn't short circuit (which at the end worth less than RM500 sold as spare parts). I've so many delayed posts that I haven't wrote. So sorry for the back track post.
Last laaaaaaaaaast Saturday, was my first time attending an event organized by Butterfly Project Malaysia. It was located at Showcase, Plaza Kelana Jaya which is directly right opposite the Kelana Jaya. Being familiar around the area, I decided to park just at the shop lots outside and walked-in rather than going inside Plaza Kelana Jaya, get lost within the basement parking and walking far away not knowing which is the best spot to park. I like going to places where I know where's the best place to park nearest to the venue I wanted to go to.
I reached there and registered and got this lucky number:
And a lovely doorgift by Etude House and classic storybook by Tammy.
It was a great high tea session as I got to mingle and made a lot of new blogger friends.
With the bloggers doing crazy post.

P/S: If I'm wrong do correct me
I had a very good conversation with them over high tea and it feels great not having the weird dunno what to chat session as everyone is very friendly. Since it's a high tea session of course there's great food and coffee/tea by Ask Joey.
Such lovely deco.
P/S: Ignore the other blogger hand on the left.
Love the butterfly cupcake.
Not to miss out the gist of the high tea is it's the celebration of officiating The Butterfly Project Malaysia's website by Serverfreak Malaysia.
Serverfreak even taught us on starting up our own blog site under our own self domain. Understanding the users need, Serverfreak even came out with a Wordpress Easy Setup.
I know many people who gave up starting their blog or gave up half way while writing the blog due to the complexity of it. There're many steps involved and even though I would like to set up my own domain, the thought of adapting to a new platform and "migrating" my old posts are just scary. And all the complexity to redesign, relayout just chase me away further.
Any way I had to leave half way while Serverfreak representative was explaining on the web domain setup because I had to rush back to my hometown.
Dad fell into a big drain and his leg is so swollen :'(
He can't even walk at the first week.
He's still using "tongkat" now and it's aching like crazy.
Lizzie and Fiona informed me in my Instagram post that I was one of the 2 lucky draw domain name and blogging packages but because I left, the prize was given to another blogger.
But then, what's more important than family right? As I get older, I realized that my parents are getting older too. And I think everyone do need this constant reminder to spend more time with their parents. It's not something new but majority of us always take things for granted until it's too late and all that's left is regret. Appreciate every single person by your side. Even if you don't meet them face-to-face, remember to call.
Though I didn't get the gift, I am very grateful for it as I've never won any lucky draw before and this is the first time my name was selected. Hahaha... And thanks Butterfly Project Malaysia for an enjoyable high tea session and sorry that I have to leave abruptly. More picture here.
