Botanic “garden”
If you expect something like the botanic garden in Zürich or elsewhere. Don’t bother. It’s not… Here some proof.

My trip to China (Chapter 2)
Park in Zhuhai (珠海)
Actually just one of so many parks in 珠海. I passed by this place on my way to the 客车68号 (Bus number 68) to the office of Allwinner Technology.
My way to Allwinner Technology
Since the security guard at the entrance already looked a bit confused when I sat down and tried to make clear to him with my dictionary that I was two hours too early for the meeting I’ve let it be to make pictures of the entrance.
Just be told, that the company has a beautiful modern new building now with leather seats and mings vases and two big red Chinese lanterns at the entrance.
A beautiful office building! *_*
Dinner (sponsored by Allwinner)
Best food of my life (2.0)! ^^
我不想回来瑞士! (I don’t wanna go back to Switzerland) *_*
Ah and btw, maybe I don’t have to.
I seems as if the dinner has brought up some additional business ideas which would justify my employment at their company =D
My trip to China (Chapter 1)
Lost clothes
Thanks to the Russian duty and tax office my clothes are still all in Moscow, which forced me to buy new ones at the stores around the corner (first pic). Actually it’s not such a problem I guess, I think I look quiet good in these 0.30$ clothes ^^ (second pic) 
Food
After having had some trouble making myself understood I managed to get my favourite food after all.

Current mirror
Given, a complicated darlington circuitry:
We now replace the darlington pairs with single NPN transistors by defining: $$I_C=I_B \cdot a$$ with $$a=(\beta+1)\cdot\beta$$ and $$I_E=I_B \cdot b$$ with $$b=(\beta+1)^2$$
Now we set:
$$I_{KD} = I_{B1} + I_{C3} = I_{B1} + I_{B3} \cdot a$$ and $$I_{RL}=I_{C4}=I_{B4}\cdot a$$ and $$I_{B2}=I_{B5}$$ and $$I_{KD} + I_{C1} + I_{RL} = I_{E5} + I_{E2} $$
$$I_{KD} + I_{B1} \cdot a + I_{RL} = I_{B5} \cdot b + I_{B2} \cdot b = 2\cdot I_{B5}\cdot b = 2\cdot I_{B2}\cdot b$$
$$\Rightarrow I_{RL}=- a \cdot I_{KD} – I_{KD} + a^2 \cdot I_{B3} + 2 \cdot b \cdot I_{B2}$$
And resolve the current equation:
$$I_{B3} \cdot b = I_{E3} = I_{C5}+I_{B2}+I_{B5}$$
$$=I_{C5}+2 \cdot I_{B2}$$
$$=I_{C5}+2 \cdot I_{B5}$$
$$=a \cdot I_{B5}+2 \cdot I_{B5}=(a+2)\cdot I_{B5}=(a+2)\cdot I_{B2}$$
$$\Rightarrow I_{B2} = I_{B5} = \frac{1}{a+2} \cdot I_{E3} =\frac{b}{a+2} \cdot I_{B3}$$
$$I_{E1} = I_{B1} \cdot b = I_{B3}+I_{B4}$$
$$I_{C2} = I_{B2} \cdot a$$
$$= I_{E4}=I_{B4} \cdot b$$
$$\Rightarrow I_{B4} = \frac{a}{b}\cdot I_{B2}=\frac{a}{b}\cdot\frac{b}{a+2} \cdot I_{B3}$$
$$I_{RL}=\frac{a^2 b}{a^2 b + 2 a b +2}$$
ARM assembly, take 3
After having considered some comments from Mr./Ms. G I optimized my assembly code a little bit.
Here a better approach:

LAVA arrows (vs. VHDL)
Hi folks
What’s new: A friend of mine and I are working on a replacement for the overaged and iconsistent VHDL (virtual hardware description language).
A draft of our documentation can be found here: https://blog.the-leviathan.ch/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Towards-Type-Safety-in-asynchronous-Hardware-Description.pdf

Still gotta fix the issue with small perimeters… And the temperature still variates too much.
