Outlaw King (2018)
Posted on November 10, 2018 by badblokebob
David Mackenzie | 121 mins | streaming (UHD) | 2.39:1 | UK & USA / English | 18 / R
If Netflix's latest original movie is known for one thing, it's for featuring a shot of Chris Pine's penis. It's no slight on the chap to say its appearance has generated more column inches than he possesses, though admittedly it's hard to be certain when (penis spoilers!) it only appears for a split second in a long shot as he rises from a lake — who knows how far beneath the surface it may continue?
If the film is known for two things, the second would probably be the muted reception its premiere screening received at TIFF back in September. Director David Mackenzie scurried back to the edit suite, motivated as much by personal displeasure with how the film was playing as by the critics' reaction, and chopped out around 20 minutes ahead of its wide Netflix debut. By the account of people who've seen both cuts, this has definitely improved the film's pacing.
If the film's known for three things, the next might actually be what it's about. Picking up more or less where Braveheart left off, it's the story of Scotland's (possible) rightful king, Robert the Bruce (Chris Pine) — or, as the English king seems to keep calling him, Robert da Bruce (yo!) — and his attempt to unite the Scots and take back their land from the English (what else is new, eh?) Robert's new English wife, Elizabeth (Florence Pugh), must decide whose side she's on as King Edward I (Stephen Dillane) and his petulant son, the Prince of Wales (Billy Howle), employ any means necessary (with preference to brutally violent ones) to keep Scotland English.
Outlaw King kicks off in style, with a superb eight-minute single-take that moves in and out of a candle-lit tent during daytime (a feat of camera operating to seamlessly handle the changing exposures required… assuming it wasn't faked), during which we take in important scene-setting political discussions, a playful (but not really) sword fight, and the siege of a distant castle by a gigantic trebuchet. As opening salvos go, this is first rate. The whole movie is gorgeously shot by Barry Ackroyd, in particular some stunning aerial shots of wide-open scenery — all of it genuinely Scottish, too. In terms of individual sequences though, the opener is not challenged until the climactic Battle of Loudoun Hill, a bloody, muddy, sometimes confusing (deliberately, I think) scrap between the small Scottish forces and the huge English army. How can the Scots possibly win? Tactics. I love a good medieval-style battle with proper tactics (rather than just a free-for-all of troops running at each other), and I'd say this delivers.
In between these bookends, the film is almost a Robin Hood movie: after Robert has himself crowned King of the Scots, he's declared an outlaw, and ends up on the run with a small band of followers, which leads them to use guerrilla tactics against occupied castles. There's also a subplot about the relationship between Robert and Elizabeth, his second wife, forced upon him by the conquering English king at the start of the film. Apparently this is one thing that's suffered from Mackenzie's new cut, with less time given to seeing their relationship blossom early on. It didn't feel fatally underdeveloped to me, but it might not've hurt to add an extra scene (one would probably do) to help connect the dots between their initial wariness and later trusting devotion.
The overall effect doesn't feel rousing and celebratory in the way classical historic war epics (like, of course, Braveheart) normally do, but I also don't think that's Mackenzie's goal. He's talked about endeavouring to make it reasonably historically accurate, and real-life is seldom as clear-cut and triumphant as those movies would have us believe. That said, there's no doubting who the heroes and villains are here, with the honourable Robert trying to regain his homeland and keep his people safe, while the ineffectual Prince of Wales flounders around, all bluster and no success, slaughtering people for kicks. Boo, nasty English!
As that Robert, I thought Chris Pine made a more convincing Scotsman than Mel Gibson. I did praise the latter's performance in my review of Braveheart, but nonetheless I never quite forgot that William Wallace was being played by American Movie Star Mel Gibson, whereas here Pine — and his (to my non-Scottish ears) perfectly passable accent — blends seamlessly with the rest of the cast. With supporting roles filled with quality performers like James Cosmo and Tony Curran, you can be assured there are no small parts. Stephan Dillane doesn't grandstand as the villain, making him more genuinely threatening thanks to an air of calm menace, whereas Billy Howle as his son is a bit more outré, desperate to show his worthiness as heir to the throne, and failing.
Most memorable, however, is Aaron Taylor-Johnson as James Douglas. Even when the other Scottish nobles are being allowed to surrender and have their lands returned, Edward remains so disgusted by Douglas' father's traitorousness that he refuses to grant him the same. That makes him keen to sign up to Robert's cause, where he's a screamingly effective fighter. Taylor-Johnson, caked in mud and blood, wild eyed and screaming at the top of his lungs as he slaughters the English, is a sight to behold. "What's ma fuckin' name?" he bellows. No one's going to forget.
Finally, a lot of praise has been reserved by others for Florence Pugh. She's certainly a rising star, having attracted great notices in Lady Macbeth last year and currently leading the cast of the BBC's Little Drummer Girl, but something felt off here. I don't think it's her fault, though. This Elizabeth feels dropped in from another time, with a very modern confidence and headstrong attitude. If Pugh was playing a woman from a few hundred years later, I'd buy it entirely, but in this setting, I'm not sure. But this is perhaps less her fault and more that of the five(!) credited screenwriters.
Another thing those scribes haven't really included are gags. Some have criticised the film for being too serious, lacking in levity, which… I mean, have you not noticed what it's about? I'm the first person to argue that a film about serious things doesn't have to be 100% serious — that it's always okay to include a variety of tones, just like real life — but it's also okay to, well, not; to create a different experience. I don't think Outlaw King is shooting for portentousness, which I guess is what those critics mean, but it does aim for a certain kind of intensity. After all, it's about a small band of men trying to stand up to the greatest army in the world, and the stakes couldn't be higher. And if Pine referring to someone as "ye cheeky wee shite" doesn't raise a smile, well, you don't know the Scottish well enough.
Even in its new tightened form, Outlaw King is not the outright-success Oscar-hopeful Netflix once touted it as. It's unlikely to attain the crowd-pleasing success of Braveheart, a film that remains an obvious point of comparison but not an unreasonable one, though on balance I'd struggle to say which of the two I preferred. What this lacks in its spiritual predecessor's grandstanding, it makes up with grit and guts (literally), making an historical war movie that frequently thrills.
Outlaw King is available on Netflix everywhere now.

The Falling (2014)
Posted on October 21, 2015 by badblokebob
Carol Morley | 102 mins | streaming (HD) | 1.85:1 | UK / English | 15
Inspired by real events, The Falling stars Game of Thrones's Maisie Williams as Lydia, a 1960s teen with an awkward home life who is a student at a repressive girls' school. She's best friends with the popular and charismatic Abbie (newcomer Florence Pugh, next to be seen as the lead in Lady Macbeth (which seems to have bugger all to do with Shakespeare)). When Lydia starts fainting for no apparent reason, it leads to a fainting epidemic at the school that no one can explain. Is it caused by illness? Fakery? Something psychological? Or possibly even some kind of dark magic?
On Amazon Instant Video (where it's available free to Prime subscribers from today), The Falling is billed as "a mesmerising psychological drama", which isn't too wide of the mark. However, presumably because of the prominent pentagram on the cover image there, all of the "customers also watched" recommendations are called things like The Exorcism of Molly Hartley, The Houses of Halloween, Haunt, Demonic, and Sinister House, or are other obviously-cheap-trashy-horror-looking films with less blatant names (like The Canal, Awaiting, and Robert (chilling!)). No wonder it has a low user rating if it's a "psychological drama" being mainly watched by people who choose to pay to watch that kind of low-rent horror crap!
The Falling is certainly not low-rent horror crap. Is it a horror movie? Not really — there are no monsters, no jump scares, none of the obvious tropes; but it does have a distinctly unnerving air a lot of the time, and there are definite references to and hints about some kind of mysticism playing a role. It's often incredibly atmospheric, with some beautiful cinematography courtesy of DP Agnès Godard and effective editing by Chris Wyatt. Writer-director Carol Morley has kept the pace and tone slow, in an enchanting rather than ponderous fashion, but it's a "not for everyone" pace nonetheless. For me, it only really lost its way as it moved into its final stages. Without wanting to spoil where it goes, in my opinion too much was explained, but at the same time it explained nothing.
Indeed, I feel it might've fared better overall if it had stuck with the magical-realist / folk horror / olde-worlde magik styles it veers towards early on. But then Lydia says she's a rationalist, and I suspect Morley is too, and so they well know that such things as spells and lay lines have no bearing on the real world. If one wants to present the possibility of a real-world explanation for the film's events — and, as they were inspired by actual events, I presume Morley does — leaving things at "because magik" isn't going to cut it.
The immediately obvious explanation — certainly as far as the school's teaching staff are concerned — is that the girls are faking for attention. One comment-review on a website asserts that "one of the central questions of the film is whether or not the girls were faking their illness," before going on to outline how this could've been improved to make the film into an "entertaining thriller". I think this is a prime example of reviewing what the reviewer expected or wanted rather than what they were given, because it didn't seem to me that the issue of fakery was the "central question" here. Of course, that's only my interpretation of the filmmaker's intent, so no more or less valid than this other commenter's; but I really don't understand how you can watch The Falling and think it was anyone's goal for this film to be considered an "entertaining thriller". It's simply not that kind of movie.
An element I do think was at the forefront of consideration is sensuality and sexuality, which plays a large and significant part in the film. Pretty much any movie bar "bawdy high school comedies starring obvious twentysomethings" seems to veer away from schoolgirl sexuality these days, wary of inevitable "OMG u a pedo" reactions, I guess. Sexuality does not equal pornography, though; and, as I alluded, here it's played out as much through a heightened, tactile sensuality. It does probably 'help' that it's a film written and directed by a woman — it would carry a very different, more Lolita-ish air if it had been written or directed by a man. What exactly it's saying with all this is arguably as mysterious as the cause of the fainting epidemic, but then it's all tied together: teenage years are a period of sexual awakening, of course, and if you're in an environment where nearly everyone is of the same gender, and where such things are massively repressed… well, how is it going to manifest itself? If "sex" is somehow the cause of the fainting, it's not because sex is bad, it's because there's no other appropriate outlet for it.
Or maybe that's got nothing to do with it at all.
A lot of this has to be carried on the shoulders of a relatively young cast, but all are capable. Maisie Williams is by far the best known of the girls, though viewers of Ripper Street will recognise Anna Burnett. She was good in the Victorian detective series, but she's even better here. Williams gives a strong performance too, afforded the ability to show some range and variety from Arya Stark (unlike her appearance in the currently-airing Doctor Who two-parter-that-isn't, for instance). There's also a quality adult supporting cast, including the likes of Maxine Peake (in an initially quiet but ultimately key role), Greta Scacchi, and Monica Dolan, while Peaky Blinders' Joe Cole acquits himself well in the subtly complex role of Lydia's brother. Best of the lot, however, is Florence Pugh. Reportedly discovered when The Falling's casting directors visited her school, you can see why she's quickly been snapped up for a leading role. I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood come knocking looking to make her the next Kate Winslet/Keira Knightley/Gemma Arterton/etc "English rose"-type lead in some blockbuster or other.
The Falling is an odd film, really; though in many respects that shouldn't come as a surprise. Some will love it; many will despise it. Personally, I felt a lot worked very, very well, but the bits that didn't, well, didn't. For what it's worth, I ranked it 3.5, aka 7, on sites that have half-stars or are out of ten. It would've been a solid 4 if not for those niggles, but equally they're not so bad to drag it down to a 3. Some viewers seem to put the niggles aside entirely and push it up into the 4.5 or even 5 margin; for others it doesn't work at all, dragging it down much lower. Everyone's reaction to any film is completely subjective and personal, obviously, but this is the kind of film where it's more true than others — you can't pigeonhole it like you can a superhero actioner, or a rom-com, or, well, most movies, to be honest. It's part high school coming-of-age drama, part supernatural thriller, part kitchen sink drama, part arthouse tone poem. How well that uncommon mix works is entirely down to the individual viewer's personal predilections.
For me, it's the kind of film that, with time and subconscious reflection, I may come to remember more fondly and be keen to see again, or all but forget. It's the kind of film I could, without even re-watching it, re-evaluate and want on my year-end top ten, or could see on my top ten contenders long-list come January 1st and wonder, "dear God, what was I thinking?!" It's the kind of film I'm not sure I wholly liked, but I'm glad I've seen.
As mentioned, The Falling is available on Amazon Prime Instant Video from today.

April Launch for Settle Sessions 2014
Our next event is on Friday 25th April 7.30pm The Folly Settle.
Nationally Recognised Writers in Settle
A well-known former Settle resident and successful novelist and poet starts the 2014 programme for Settle Sessions in April at The Folly in Settle. Sue Vickerman will share the platform with the recent poet Laureate of South Cumbria Jennifer Copley, supported by local writers and poets presenting some of their own work in an Open Mic slot. New for 2014 is a membership scheme which offers discounts to members.
Former Settle resident, Sue Vickerman, has just completed the screenplay of her novel "Special Needs" (Cinammon Press 2011) and says she is looking for a frock for the Oscars. Meanwhile her alter ego, life-model Suki, is about to launch online the weekly serialisation of her autobiography "Two small lives" at twosmalllives.co.uk, following the highly successful Part I, "A Small Life" , which has accrued an international following. She writes with "a dry northern sense of humour" and her work is described as "witty, loving and long-sighted" (U A Fanthorpe), "piercingly topical" Magnus Magnusson and Sandi Toksvig "loved it".
Jennifer Copley has published 3 full poetry collections (the latest is 'Sisters' published by Smokestack in 2013) and 4 pamphlets (the last being 'Mr Trickfeather' published by Like This Press in 2012). She lives in her grandmother's house in Barrow-in-Furness with her sculptor husband Martin and her cat and dog, Freddy and Ruby and where, she says, her roots go down through the floorboards. She was South Cumbria's Poet Laureate in 2005. Jennifer's work has been described as charming, sensuous and disturbing with a magic-realist twist. 'Deals with strange territory in a memorable and disturbing way' (UA Fanthorpe), 'sensuous and disturbing' (Carol Rumens).
Local writers Sarah Wiltshire and Paula Day will also read from their work at the Read Two open mic slot.
"We have established Settle Sessions in the lovely atmospheric setting of The Folly" explained one of the organisers Jean Harrison. "Our aim is to bring well known and successful poets and writers to Settle to entertain people who may enjoy book clubs and creative writing but might not think 'poems are for them'". As well as big names on the bill, Settle Sessions has discovered a lot of local literary talent in the area and provide an opportunity for local people to present their own work to new audiences.
A new membership scheme is being intorduced this year. Among the benefits are reduced rates at the events. Settle Sessions is at 7.30pm at The Folly on Friday 25th April. Tickets, which are limited due to space, are £6 (£5.50 members) available from Cave and Cragg and The Folly. For more information please ring 01729 823305 or 824537.

Palace of Westminster without improved fire safety measures for 'far too long', warn MPs in wake of Notre-Dame blaze

It has taken "far too long" to put improved fire safety measures in place at the Palace of Westminster, MPs have warned in the wake of the Notre-Dame blaze.
Chris Bryant, the former shadow Commons leader, said "every fire precaution" must now be taken when a major programme of restoration is started on the Houses of Parliament in order to avoid similar scenes to the French cathedral.
The devastation at the Paris landmark came after David Lidington warned that the risk of a "catastrophic fire" decimating Parliament was growing and it was only down to chance nobody has been badly hurt by falling masonry.
Theresa May's deputy said it was "very lucky no one has been seriously injured" by the crumbling Palace of Westminster as he stressed the importance of urgently restoring the Unesco World Heritage Site.
The destruction of Notre-Dame has inevitably caused people to look to the UK's own iconic historic buildings, including the Palace of Westminster.

Mr Bryant, a senior Labour MP, said: "Watching Paris tonight reminds me of the responsibility our generation has for the Palace of Westminster, especially Westminster Hall which dates from the 11th century.
"We have taken far too long already putting our fire safety measures in place.
"Parts of the Palace are as old as Notre-Dame and we must make sure that every fire precaution is taken as the major work goes ahead.
"God knows we've had enough warnings."
Parliament's Restoration and Renewal Programme is due to get under way in the mid-2020s at the very earliest.
But falling masonry, leaking plumbing and exposed wiring have prompted growing concerns about how long it will take to start and finish the work.
Mr Lidington, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, said a recent burst water pipe which forced the House of Commons to close early for the day "highlighted the need for Parliament to press ahead with plans for a fundamental overhaul".
Writing in a letter to his local paper earlier this week, the Bucks Free Press, Mr Lidington said: "Several times in the last year, chunks of masonry have fallen off buildings.
"We've been very lucky no one has been seriously injured.
"Worse, the electrical, plumbing, heating and sewerage systems are well beyond their expected working life span and in a dilapidated state.
"With each year that passes, the risk of a catastrophic fire grows."
The restoration of the Palace of Westminster is likely to be a logistical nightmare.

Parliament agreed in 2018 that the best approach would be for everyone to temporarily move out of the building to allow the work to be done in one single phase.
There have been calls for MPs and peers to use the restoration project as an opportunity to relocate parliament somewhere else in the UK.
But Mr Lidington, the Conservative MP for Aylesbury, said such a move would not be practical.
"The difficulty with that is that ministers are also MPs, and have to divide their time between their Departments and Parliament," he said.
"So if you moved Parliament, you'd have to move all the major government departments too, and still pay to repair the Palace."
Mr Lidington, the Minister for the Cabinet Office and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said temporarily vacating the Palace of Westminster would allow repairs to be carried out "more quickly and cheaply" and spare MPs and peers having to work in a "building site".

Westminster,

Q: Precision and recall are the same within a model I am working on a multiclassification project and I noticed that no matter what classifier I run the precision and recall are the same within a model.
The classification problem has three distinct classes. The volume of the data is rather on the small side with 13k instances divided into test (0.8) and train (0.2).
Training data has a shape of (10608, 28) and labels are the shape of (10608, 3) (binarized label).
The classification is imbalanced:

*

*label 0 represents 30% of all labels

*label 1 represents 4% of all labels

*label 2 represents 66% of all labels.

I am comparing different classifiers, to later focus on the most promising ones. While calculating precision and recall for each model I noticed that they are always the same within a model.
Due to how precision and recall are calculated they can be the same when the number of false-negative predictions equals the number of false-positive predictions  FP = FN.

Examples:
SGD classifier
sgd_clf = OneVsRestClassifier(SGDClassifier(random_state=42))
sgd_clf.fit(data_tr, labels_tr)
y_pred_sgd = cross_val_predict(sgd_clf, data_tr, labels_tr, cv=5)
cm_sgd = confusion_matrix(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_sgd.argmax(axis=1))

cm_sgd:
array([[1038,   19, 2084],
       [ 204,   22,  249],
       [ 931,   48, 6013]], dtype=int64)
precision_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_sgd.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.666760935143288
recall_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_sgd.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.666760935143288

FP=FN=3535

Logistic regression
lr_clf = OneVsRestClassifier(LogisticRegression(random_state=42, max_iter=4000))
lr_clf.fit(data_tr, labels_tr)
y_pred_lr = cross_val_predict(lr_clf, data_tr, labels_tr, cv=5)
cm_lr = confusion_matrix(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_lr.argmax(axis=1))

cm_lr:
array([[ 982,    1, 2158],
       [ 194,    7,  274],
       [ 774,    9, 6209]], dtype=int64)

precision_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_lr.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.6785444947209653
recall_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_lr.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.6785444947209653

FP=FN=3410

Random forest
rf_clf = OneVsRestClassifier(RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42))
rf_clf.fit(data_tr, labels_tr)
y_pred_forest = cross_val_predict(rf_clf, data_tr, labels_tr, cv=5)
cm_forest = confusion_matrix(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_forest.argmax(axis=1))

cm_forest:
array([[1576,   56, 1509],
      [ 237,   45,  193],
      [1282,   61, 5649]], dtype=int64)
precision_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_forest.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.6853318250377074
recall_score(labels_tr.argmax(axis=1), y_pred_forest.argmax(axis=1), average="micro")
0.6853318250377074

FP=FN=3338

How likely is it that all the models have the same recall and precision within a model? Am I missing something?

A: This is happening because you are calculating the micro average of your scores. In the docs, it is described as:

Calculate metrics globally by counting the total true positives, false negatives and false positives.

Now here is the catch: in classification tasks where every test case is guaranteed to be assigned to exactly one class, computing a micro average is equivalent to computing the accuracy score. This is why you get the same result for precision and recall in each model: you are basically computing the accuracy in all cases.
You can verify this by using accuracy_score and comparing the results.
As a consequence, you should better evaluate the precision and recall of your models with either macro or weighted average instead.

Q: Flutter: error when combining charts and animations package In my Flutter app I am using the animations package. I use the OpenContainer to open a new window with a nice animation. However, in this window I am using charts_flutter to, of course, draw a chart. The problem is when the user returns to the previous screen by reversing the OpenContainer animation, the chart throws an error stating:

'package:charts_common/src/chart/layout/layout_manager_impl.dart': Failed assertion: line 115 pos 12: '_drawAreaBoundsOutdated == false': is not true.

I think that the cause of this is that the chart is still displaying itself while it's animating so that it would be drawing outside of its bounds.
I've been searching for a few hours and I can't seem to find a solution for this problem.
Does anyone know an answer for this?
Thanks!

A: I also got that issue with same environment that you have(OpenContainer with charts_flutter package). i removed OpenContainer widget for this chart screen. then it worked fine. as a temporary solution you can fix it like this.
this problem still in under open status https://github.com/google/charts/issues/118


JAKARTA, Sept 14 (Reuters) – Several global metals producers have set their sights on Indonesia's nickel reserves to tap an expected surge in demand for the metal for electric vehicle batteries.
That could change if producers are willing to plough investments into high pressure acid leach (HPAL) plants. The plants, which use heat and pressure to remove the nickel and cobalt from the ore, are regarded as technically challenging and expensive but produce high quality metal. EV market "could represent growth opportunities in Indonesia" and attract interest from Chinese battery makers.

La automatización de diseño electrónico (del inglés Electronic Design Automation, o simplemente EDA) se refiere a una categoría de herramientas de software enfocadas en el proyecto, concepción, y producción de sistemas electrónicos, abarcando desde el proyecto de circuitos integrados hasta el desarrollo de placas de circuito impreso.

Esta categoría de aplicaciones también es referenciada con la sigla ECAD (del inglés Electronic computer-aided design).

Historia

Inicios

Antes de EDA, los circuitos integrados se diseñaban a mano, y se desarrollaban manualmente. Algunos adelantados utilizaron software geométrico para generar las cintas para el fotoplóter de Gerber, pero incluso estos eran grabaciones digitales copiadas de los componentes dibujados mecánicamente. El proceso era fundamentalmente gráfico, con la traducción de electrónica al gráfico hecho manualmente. Una de las mejores compañía que se conocían para esto era Calma, cuyo formato GDSII aún sobrevive.

A mediados de los setenta, los desarrolladores empezaron a automatizar el diseño junto con los croquis. Se empezaron a desarrollar las primeras herramientas de montaje y ruteo. Los documentos de la Conferencia de Automatización de Diseño describe esta época.

En 1980 se publicó un trabajo  "Introducción a los sistemas VLSI" por Carver Mead y Lynn Conway, lo que inició una nueva etapa. Este texto supuso un quiebre, proponiendo diseño de chips con lenguajes de programación para desarrollar en silicio. El resultado inmediato fue un aumento considerable en la complejidad de los chips que podían ser diseñados, con acceso mejorado para herramientas de verificación de diseño que usó simulación lógica. A menudo los chips eran más fáciles de desarrollar y para que funcionaran correctamente, desde sus diseños podían ser simulados más exhaustivamente con anterioridad a la construcción. A pesar de que los lenguajes y las herramientas han evolucionado, esta aproximación general de especificar el comportamiento deseado en un lenguaje de programación textual y dejando que las herramientas produzcan el diseño físico detallado, es en la actualidad, la base del diseño digital de circuitos integrados.

Las primeras herramientas EDA fueron desarrolladas académicamente, y una de las más conocidas era la Berkeley VLSI Tools Tarball, un conjunto de utilidades UNIX destinadas al diseño de los primeros sistemas VLSI. Todavía ampliamente utilizados son Espresso heuristic logic minimizer''' y Magic.

Otro hito crucial en el desarrollo fue la conformación de MOSIS, un consorcio de universidades y fabricantes que desarrollaron de una manera económica una forma de entrenar estudiantes para formar diseñadores de chip, produciendo circuitos integrados reales. El concepto básico era utilizar procesos de circuitos integrados de relativamente baja tecnología, bajo costo, y confiabilidad, y así ir produciendo un gran número de proyectos por wafer, con algunas copias de cada proyecto de los chips. Los fabricantes cooperaban donando los wafers procesados, y vendiéndolos al costo, ya que veían que el programa era útil para su crecimiento a largo plazo.

 Nacimiento del EDA comercial

1981 marca el principio de EDA como una industria. Desde hace muchos años, las compañías electrónicas más grandes, como Hewlett Packard, Tektronix, e Intel, habían incursionado en EDA internamente. Pero en 1981, los directores y los desarrolladores se volcaron a estas compañías para concentrar a EDA como un negocio. Daisy Sistemas, Mentor Graphics, y Valid Logic Systems, fueron todos ellos fundados en esa época, y colectivamente fueron referidos como DMV. Después, pocos años más tarde, muchas compañías se especializaron en EDA, cada cual con un énfasis ligeramente diferente. El primer encuentro de mercado para EDA estuvo organizado en la Design Automation Conference en 1984.

En 1981, el Departamento de Defensa de EE.UU. empezó a financiar VHDL como lenguaje de descripción de hardware. Y en 1986, Verilog, otro lenguaje de diseño de alto nivel de gran popularidad, fue introducido como lenguaje de descripción de hardware por Gateway Design Automation. Los simuladores siguieron rápidamente a estas introducciones, permitiendo la simulación directa de diseños de chips: especificaciones ejecutables. Unos cuantos años más, se desarrollaron backs-ends para mejorar la síntesis de lógica.

 Estado actual

Los flujos de diseño digital en la actualidad son extremadamente modulares (ver diseño de circuito integrado, clausura de diseño, y flujo de diseño (EDA)).  Los front end producen descripciones de diseño estandarizado que compila a invocaciones de "células,", sin considerar la tecnología de célula. Las células implementan la lógica u otras funciones electrónicas que utilizan una tecnología de circuito integrado particular. Los fabricantes generalmente proporcionan bibliotecas de componentes para sus procesos de producción, con modelos de simulación que quedan de las herramientas de simulación estándar. Las herramientas de EDA analógica son menos modulares, ya que requieren muchas más funciones, interaccionan más fuertemente, y los componentes son (en general) menos ideales.

EDA para electrónica rápidamente ha aumentado en importancia con el continuo perfeccionamiento de la tecnología de semiconductores. Algunos usuarios son operadores de fundición, quiénes operan las instalaciones de fabricación de semiconductores, y compañías de diseño quiénes utilizan software EDA para evaluar un diseño para fabricar. Las herramientas EDA se utilizan también para programar funcionalidades de diseño en FPGAs.

 Software

 Diseño
 Alto nivel de síntesis (o síntesis conductista, síntesis algorítmica) - descripción de alto nivel de diseño (p. ej. en C/C++) se convierte a RTL.
 Síntesis de lógica - traducción de descripción de diseño de RTL (p. ej. escrito en Verilog o VHDL) a una lisa de nodos discreto de puertas de lógica.
 Captura esquemática Para la célula estándar digital, analógica, RF como Capture CIS en Orcad por CADENCE e ISIS en Proteus
 Layout, normalmente esquemático con layout, como Layout en Orcad por Cadence, ARES en Proteus.

 Simulación

 Simulación de transistor – simulación de transistor de bajo nivel del comportamiento en esquemático/layout.
 Simulación de lógica – simulación digital de un RTL o comportamiento de una lista de nodos de puertas digitales (booleano 0/1) .
 Simulación de comportamiento - simulación de alto nivel de una operación de arquitectura de diseño,
 Emulación de hardware - Usado para hardware de propósitos especiales para emular la lógica de un diseño propuesto. A veces se puede enchufar en un sistema en lugar de desarrollar el chip, esto se denomina emulación en circuito.
 Tecnología CAD simula y analiza el proceso tecnológico. Las propiedades eléctricas de los dispositivos se hallan directamente de los dispositivos físicos.
 Calculadores de campo electromagnético, o calculadores de campo, resuelven las ecuaciones de Maxwell directamente para casos de interés en diseños de circuitos integrados y de circuitos impresos. Se sabe que son muy lentos, pero de mucha precisión que otros métodos.

 Análisis y verificación
 Verificación funcional
 Clock Domain Crossing Verification (CDC check).
 Verificación formal, también comprobación de modelos: intentos probar, por métodos matemáticos, que el sistema tiene las propiedades deseadas, y que ciertos efectos indeseados no puedan ocurrir.
 Chequeo de equivalencia: comparación algorítmica entre la descripción RTL de un chip y la lista de nodos de puertas sintetizadas, para asegurar equivalencia funcional en el nivel lógico''.
 Análisis de tiempos estáticos: Análisis de los tiempos de un circuito en forma independiente a la entrada, para encontrar el peor de los casos para todas las entradas posibles.
 Verificación física: comprobando si un diseño es físicamente manufacturable, y que los chips resultantes no tendrán defectos físicos que impidan el funcionamiento, y llegar hacia las especificaciones originales.

Preparación de la manufacturación

 Preparación de los datos de la máscara, MDP: generación de fotomáscara de litografía real usada para manufacturar físicamente el chip.

So here is a puzzle. What will be written by
this program:

{% highlight scala %}
object Wtf1 {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val points: List[Point] = List(
      Point(1, 2),
      Point(3, 4),
      Point(5, 6)
    )

    val result = points.contains(Point(3, _))
    println(s"result: $result")
  }
}

case class Point(x: Int, y: Int)

// ANSWER BELOW
// ..............................................
//
{% endhighlight %}

The answer is `false`.
Why? Because the line with `points.contains(Point(3, _))`
instead of performing pattern matching, checks whether `points`
contain a function:
{% highlight scala %}
val result = points.contains(Point(3, _))
// in reality is:
val result = names.contains((n: Int) => Point(3, n))
{% endhighlight %}

The strangest thing for me is that the compilation of
this code does not generate any warnings.
From Scala compiler point of view the above code is
perfectly valid and this in turn is the result of
`List` type being covariant.
Or in the other words because we can assign `List[Point]` to
`List[Any]`, `contains` must accept
arguments of any type:
{% highlight scala %}
val points: List[Point] = List(
    Point(1, 2),
    Point(3, 4),
    Point(5, 6)
)

val anys: List[Any] = points

anys.contains(new Object())
{% endhighlight %}

The declaration of `contains` method in `List[A]` looks like this:
{% highlight scala %}
def contains[A1 >: A](elem: A1): Boolean
{% endhighlight %}
We may snoop the actual types assigned to the generic parameters
using a helper method:
{% highlight scala %}
def detectType[A, A1 >: A](l: List[A], obj: A1)
                          (implicit tagA: ClassTag[A], tagA1: ClassTag[A1]): Unit = {
    println(s"type of A : ${tagA.runtimeClass.getName}")
    println(s"type of A1: ${tagA1.runtimeClass.getName}")
}

detectType(names, Point(3, _))

// This prints:
// type of A : Point
// type of A1: java.lang.Object
//
{% endhighlight %}
So during the compilation `A1` becomes `Object` and everything
type-checks.

Let's finish by writing a code that actually does what
the programmer intended:
{% highlight scala %}
val result = names
    .collectFirst { case Point(3, _) => true }
    .getOrElse(false)
{% endhighlight %}

Q: PHP Mysqli select two DISTINCT from data base I am trying to fetch two different DISTINCT values from data base am not able to do that that gives me an error. I don't want both to be combined in as statement and fetch as one I need individual DISTINCT values.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DISTINCT AttendanceID from attendance_master where Attendence_taken_by !='admi' at line 1\

My Query
$query = "select DISTINCT Standard , DISTINCT AttendanceID  from attendance_master where  Attendence_taken_by !='$admin'  and  SchoolID='$schoolid' and AttendanceDate >= '$tfrom_date' and AttendanceDate <= '$tto_date' ";

$result = mysqli_query($mysqli,$query)or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo "

".$row["Standard"]."

".$row["AttendanceID"]."

";
}

A: Syntax of DISTINCT is
SELECT DISTINCT column_name,column_name
FROM table_name;

So change your query with
$query = "select DISTINCT Standard , AttendanceID  from attendance_master.....

Instead of assign direct value use bind_param


The champion update guys had a closer look at Alistar and decided it was time for a brush up! We've just finished shampooing and shearing, clipping and steering him through the champ-up workshop, and he's finally ready to stampede with style.
As with a few other recent updates, Alistar didn't actually require a massive gameplay or thematic overhaul, meaning we could focus on the Minotaur's visuals. His update's packed with new models and textures for all of his skins, and while we had him in the shop, we also tweaked a couple of the big guy's animations. Now Alistar will cycle through different run types as he speeds up and slows down, and you'll actually see him trampling enemies with his passive! You still can't milk those, though.
Below you can find a complete preview of Alistar's update.
A new login screen will hit live with Patch 5.1 to celebrate a new season of competitive play.
For a full preview of the skin, check here.
For a full preview of the skin, check here.
For a preview of Alistar's visual update, check here.
LCS icons for the new season are now available for all participating teams.
[ Note ] The new Tristana ability icons from yesterday's PBE update have been removed. They won't be in Patch 5.1.
Zz'Rot Portal, the upcoming split-push item that summons purple dudes to kill turrets with you, got its in-game icons.
[ Note ] In this update, you can search for Guardian's Horn in the store by typing "Golderm Arm of Kobe", "Golden Bicep of Kobe", Horn, "Horn of the ManWolf" and "ManWolf".
[ Note #2 ] My mistake with the Malzahar stat buffs, the increased values are his current live. I deleted them from the post. I've also updated the list of changes to jungle camps.
Ali has received model and texture updates on all his skins.
Move aside and witness Alistar, the Minotaur, in his new and updated form!
Known for his ability to change the shape of a teamfight, you can now spot this cow trampling in with his shape changing form! It's behoove of me to tell you what you can expect to see, so read up if you find yourself locking horns with the bull at any point! His model and textures are all sparkly and brand new, and his animations are tweaked a bit to make him run and look better on the fields. In addition, we've also given his ult a spitshine, so you'll see some nice shields here instead of… uh… spiky… things. His skins are receiving the same treatment as well, so be sure not to miss those as well*.
We'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look at Alistar, and headbutt us with any bugs and feedback that come your way. Your feedback helps to guide changes we can make, as well as helps us grow as a team.
*Sweeper Alistar was fairly recent, so it did not receive larger updates.
Dauntless Ahri will be available in store for 975 RP after Patch 4.21 hits live [December 23rd, assuming there are no delays] and will be a legacy skin.
For her recall, Dauntless Ahri performs a dance, curls into a ball and then hovers in the air for a few seconds before returning to the fountain.
The 2015 competitive season is about to begin, which means the climb to become world champions begins yet again! We're kicking off the 2015 competitive season with Dauntless Ahri!
It's a new season, which means all kinds of new beginnings – learning a new role or champion, playing with new teams, learning all of the changes.
It also means bettering yourself as a player – Improve your skills, excel in your main role, rank up higher than you ever have before.
New particles! Note: Some particles could not be changed due to gameplay clarity. Her orb and charm will remain the same color as her base.
Dauntless Ahri is now available to play on PBE! We always find bug reports and feedback super helpful, so feel free to comment in the thread below! Likewise, if you've got any questions, post 'em here, and we'll do our best to answer them!
El Tigre Braum will be available in store for 975 RP after Patch 4.21 hits live.
For his recall, El Tigre Braum dunks his sparring match-up, a poro.
Zzrot Portal is back! You can see a preview of the item here.
Now has the "Gift of the Heavy Hands" buff on, which stuns a champion every fifth basic attack. Smiting the Ancient Krug will remove its buff and grant it to you.
The Krugs on Red side have switched places.
Now has the "Gift of Toadstool" buff on, which causes damage-over-time to the attacker. Smiting the Gromp will, again, steal its buff.


Tamerlan Chess is a Zillions-of-Games file. It is categorized as: Orthodox chess, .
Browse items that also start with the letters Tam.
I get an error message when trying to load Zillions file for Timur Chess (with latest version of Zillions on WinXP): 'bitmap can be loaded: images\Alfaerie\timurboard.bmp'. I checked that the image is there. Is the bitmap corrupted?

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday confirmed that US diplomatic missions in Russia will be cut by 755 people, following a sanctions bill the US Congress passed last week.
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday demanded that the United States cut its diplomatic staff in Russia and said it would seize two US diplomatic properties in a sharp response to the new US sanctions bill.
Putin had hoped relations would improve with the US, but now says it does not appear that will happen soon, according to state media.

Meanwhile, I've made a few gains. I learnt how to type! No more two finger hunt and peck. And, after learning the basics of Node.js, I was introduced to a new area of study… databases. So, to learn more, I completed a short 3 week introduction to MongoDB at Mongo University (offering a collection of free courses you can take to learn all things Mongo). I did well on the course so I signed up for their Mongo/Node.js course starting next week. This looks a little more challenging than the introduction course but I'm sure I can handle it. Meanwhile after a short break I'm ready to continue where I left off with the FreeCodeCamp 'Basic Algorithm Scripting'. I'm also reading Algorithms 4th edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne and for interests sake Cyber Spies by Gordon Corera. I also discovered another great source for tutorials Scrimba. I find there teaching method very easy to understand.

HomeStaying Afloat
Staying Afloat
Anthony WeissJune 18, 2008
With food and oil prices skyrocketing, the stock and housing markets in tatters, and the threat of a recession looming on the horizon, now is not the easiest time to ask donors to open their checkbooks. Across the country, these economic ills are being felt not only by individuals and families, but also by a whole range of Jewish institutions, from synagogues to food banks to social service not-for-profits that depend upon the generosity of donors to stay afloat. As a result, not-for-profits are looking for ways to get creative so that they can make it through the hard times and carry out their missions.
There are, as of yet, no clear data on how the economic slowdown will affect donations. In fact, the effects may not be fully clear until the end of the year, as many donors make their gifts in late December, for tax purposes. An informal survey by the Forward of a range of synagogues, schools and not-for-profit organizations showed a surprisingly varied landscape: Some were already feeling the pinch, some said donations appear to be holding steady and some were even seeing an upsurge in giving. What they all shared was a sense that there may be rocky times ahead.
According to Gary Tobin, who is president of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, a think tank that studies issues related to Jewish giving, fluctuations in levels of giving often have as much to do with what donors think might happen as with current economic conditions.
"Most of it is about expectations and perceptions," Tobin said. "I think there's a tremendous amount of uncertainty ahead. The psychology of uncertainty can affect giving as much as anything else."
So far, a number of not-for-profits say they haven't seen signs of a major downturn in donations. Even UJA-Federation of New York, which relies heavily on donations from Wall Street and thus was expected to take a sharp hit from the woes at such securities firms as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, looks like it will surpass last year's annual campaign of $151 million by $2 million or $3 million, according to Paul Kane, senior vice president for financial resources development at UJA-Federation of New York. Kane said he still expects a difficult year ahead, and that it will be essential for his federation to look beyond Wall Street for its fundraising and toward other, stronger sectors, like real estate.
One thing that Kane and other fundraising professionals mentioned was the need to show understanding to people who are facing tough times.
"With someone who's lost their job and can't contribute, we say, 'Any way we can be helpful, we still want to be helpful,'" Kane said. "If you show that respect to a donor who has a difficult time, they'll return to the fold when they have the capabilities."
Still, some not-for-profits are pushing as hard as they can. Several said they have been stepping up their requests to donors, sending out additional mailings and sharpening their pitches. Simon Greer, president and CEO of Jewish Funds for Justice, which is a liberal grant-making and advocacy organization focused on social and economic issues, said that his organization was working to make sure that more donors got out into the field to see the work it does. For example, a staffer had recently taken donors to East Baltimore to see the houses that JFJ is fixing up. "I would've thought that's a nice thing to do when the economy is booming," Greer said. "But when the economy's as unstable as it is, it's so much more important for donors to see firsthand the impact of their philanthropy."
The strategy appears to be working: Greer said that donations are up more than 10% compared with a year ago. Ironically, the economic difficulties actually have made it easier for some organizations to raise money. Lea Luger, development director of the Yad Ezra kosher food pantry, which serves the Detroit area, said that her organization has seen a 20% upsurge in donations — enough to offset a corresponding rise in demand for food aid. She said that, in a sense, high food prices have become their own advertisement for Yad Ezra.
"We don't have to scream and carry on, because everyone sees it when they go to the supermarket themselves," Luger said.
But other organizations are starting to see the pinch — particularly those that run lean in the first place. Barbara Ribakove Gordon, executive director of the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry, or Nacoej, said that although her organization was seeing contributions drop, it was hard to see how many cuts Nacoej could make.
"We're already an organization that works on minimal staff, with the help of a lot of volunteers. We have very little fat," Gordon told the Forward. "We're not going to make any staff cuts. There's no one you can possibly cut."
With dollars getting scarcer, some not-for-profits have found creative ways to substitute other, more renewable resources. Esther Herst, executive director of Temple Beth Am in Seattle, said that to save money on clearing out the landscaping for a construction project, the synagogue has turned to congregants not for dollars, but for the sweat of their brows.
"Rather than having a construction company or a landscaping company do the work, we're recruiting our teenagers and adults who love to garden," Herst said. "That's a lot of work, but it's work that needs to be done, and we'll save significant dollars by doing it this way."
In the meantime, many not-for-profits have little to do other than wait and see what happens, and hope that the economy is able to hold together. "It's not time to panic yet," Tobin said. "If we go into a deep, long recession, it's going to hurt a lot of giving. But we don't know that yet, do we?"

50th Anniversary of the Victory in the «Great Patriotic War» (World War II)
The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of World War II between the European Axis powers and co-belligerent Finland against the Soviet Union, Poland, Norway and some other Allies which encompassed Northern, Southern and Central and Eastern Europe from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It was known as the Great Patriotic War (Russian: Великая Отечественная Война) in the former Soviet Union, while in Germany it was called the Eastern Front (German: die Ostfront), the Eastern Campaign (German: der Ostfeldzug) or the Russian Campaign (German: der Rußlandfeldzug).

Samuel John Peploe
Still life of pink & red roses in a Chinese vase
Paris Plage
Samuel John Peploe was the eldest of the Scottish Colourists and worked in a style remarkable for its painterly freedom and richness of colour. Together with Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell, George Leslie Hunter and John Duncan Fergusson, whose work was also characterised by the bold handling and use of colour, they were dubbed 'Les Peintres de L'Ecosse Moderne' following their first exhibition in Paris in 1924.
Peploe first studied at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1893, and then continued his training in Paris, at both the Académie Julian under Adolphe William Bouguereau (1825-1905), and the Académie Colarossi. At this time he was considerably impressed by the work of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1699-1779), Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) and Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). He also admired Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), and seventeenth-century Dutch painters, especially Frans Hals (c1582-1666), whose work he saw on a visit to the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, in 1895. During this period, Peploe led a cosmopolitan life, working in Britain, and travelling extensively throughout France, in the company of his friend and colleague, Fergusson, with whom he spent several holidays painting at Etaples, Paris Plage, Dunkirk, Berneval, Dieppe and Le Tréport. In 1896, Peploe returned to Edinburgh and settled at his first studio in Shandwick Place, where the dark surroundings suited the sombre palette of his early still lifes, nudes and figure studies. He moved to Devon Place in 1900, where he developed a more sophisticated choice of subject matter, matched by an increasingly rich application of paint, and to York Place in 1905, where lighter space was reflected in the heightened tonality of his work.
He married Margaret MacKay in 1910, and decided to move to Paris where he remained until 1912, when he returned permanently to Edinburgh and set up a studio in Queen Street. He painted in Arran in 1913, in Crawford and Kikcudbright in 1914, and frequently spent the summer painting in Iona, with Cadell, between 1920- 1933. Peploe exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, where he was elected a member in 1927, at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, and in London at the Allied Artists' Association.
The work of Samuel John Peploe is represented in Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums, University of Aberdeen; University of St Andrews; Rozelle House Galleries, South Ayrshire; Birmingham Museums Trust; Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford; Brighton and Hove Museums and Art Galleries; the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; Pallant House Gallery, Chichester; Gracefield Arts Centre, The Stewarty Museum, Dumfries and Galloway; Lillie Art Gallery, East Dunbartonshire; Dundee Art Galleries and Museums, University of Dundee; National Museum Scotland, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh Council, University of Edinburgh; Kirkcaldy Galleries, Fife; the Burrell Collection, Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow, Glasgow Museums Resource Centre; Ferens Art Gallery, Hull, University of Hull; McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Inverclyde; Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Lakeland Arts Trust, Kendal; Leeds Museums and Galleries; The Courtauld Gallery, the Fleming Collection, Tate Britain and William Morris Gallery, London; Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA); Manchester City Galleries; National Trust for Scotland; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle; Paisley Museum and Art Galleries, Renfrewshire; Perth & Kinross Council; The Atkinson, Southport; The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke on Trent and Ulster Museum, National Museums Northern Ireland.

At Breakers you'll enjoy true West Coast hospitality with your New Zealand born hosts Jan and Stephen with the help of their two faithful companions Ziggy and Ansel (the family dogs). Jan and Stephen are both passionate about the region, the land and history. They love the untamed natural wilderness that is the West Coast. They enjoy the outdoors and love to share their expertise and experiences with you - their guests. They get out and about as much as they can, exploring the backcountry, mountain biking and hiking and checking out the history. See their blog for their latest adventures.
West Coast Hospitality
At Breakers you'll enjoy true West Coast hospitality with your New Zealand born hosts Jan and Stephen with the family dogs Ziggy and Ansel not far away.
Jan - Your Host
Jan is your main host at Breakers and is originally from Invercargill - the deep south of New Zealand. Invercargill is where she was born and raised before moving to Queenstown for 17 years. Jan moved to "the Coast" in 2004 with her beloved dog Jeddyboy and met Stephen in 2005. Jan loves the outdoors and enjoys mountain biking and hiking. She can provide you with a wealth of information, advice and suggestions on how best to maximise your experience of the West Coast as well as the South Island in general. Visit our Sustainability page to learn more of Jan's Maori history and culture.
Stephen was born and bred on the West Coast. He has lived here all his life with the exception of a two year break where he lived in the UK, France and Portugal. He also spent six months in Australia. Stephen is very passionate about the West Coast and the wonderful experiences it has to offer visitors. He enjoys mountain biking and hiking as well as kayaking and surfing. Stephen is also a photographer and doesn't go far without his camera. The photos on the website are all taken by Stephen and many of his images are used for promotional work involving the West Coast under the name Shakey Finger Photography - Stephen Roberts. Stephen is often on site, but as he is a self-employed electrician and photographer, he is generally at work during the day. If not, he can be found in the garage tinkering with his mountain bikes or helping out in the gardens.
The "Boys"
We have two dogs at Breakers - more fondly known as our children!
Ziggy is our 11 year old German Short-haired Pointer and hails originally from Timaru. He enjoys running around the yard with his toys and anyone who will chase him, loves playing on the beach and chasing stones. As he has got older he has become a little more aloof but can still be quite the goofball.
Ansel is our latest addition after the sad passing of our beautiful boy Nico (Dalmatian). Ansel is also a German Short Haired pointer - nearing 2 years old now he still has puppy tendancies and thinks everyone will love him - he is still learning so thanks for your patience with him and us.
The "boys" have their own area and generally do not interact with the guests at Breakers unless they are invited. You will see them playing out on the grounds though and down on the beach - they would like to say "on their beach"!
Jan and Stephen describe Breakers as a "little slice of paradise" with its beachfront location, fantastic sea and mountain views and private track for beach access.
Nine Mile beach at the base of Breakers is quite secluded and easily reached with the direct access from the property. Walk along the beach with the rolling surf and keep an eye out for jade (greenstone), known by the Maori as "Pounamu" that is occasionally washed up on the beach. Nine Mile creek also comes out at the foot of the track in the form of a gorgeous waterfall and when the tide is out there are rock pools to fossick amongst with the starfish and mussels.
Little Blue Penguins and West Coast Penguin Trust
Breakers is a great supporter of the West Coast Penguin Trust as Nine Mile beach is a nesting area for the little blue penguins. Breakers is involved with the stoat trapping programme for the area to ensure the continued survival of the little blue penguins and the abundance of native birds in the area. The penguins are hard to view as they are known to be very shy with humans and travel to sea an hour before the sun comes up and come back to shore an hour after the sun goes down. 50 cents from every room night booking at Breakers is donated to the West Coast Little Blue Penguin Trust.
As with the Blue Penguin Trust, Breakers is donating 50 cents from every room night booking at Breakers to our local SPCA together with our own cash donation. We love animals and feel this is a worthwhile cause - all animals deserve a chance, some loving and good care.
Expansion of "Boutique"
Now just to expand on Breakers operating as a "boutique" bed and breakfast. We often have guests asking why we call ourselves Boutique and what exactly it means. We feel boutique means offering something special - more intimate than your standard bed & breakfast or homestay experience - something a little more special. I found this explanation under Wikipedia: "It can also refer to a specialised firm. The word is often used to describe a property in the independent section of the hotel market (such as The Rockwell in London) in order to distinguish themselves from larger chains (such as Hilton Hotels). In such cases the establishments aim to convey the idea that the operation is elite and highly specialised." We feel we fall into this category as we specialise in making your stay that little more unique with great itinerary and sightseeing advice and our fantastic beachfront location.
"This place certainly has the "WOW" factor! Lovely hosts and setting. Wish we were here longer."
Chris and Pat Doyle Bedfordshire, England

Q: Spring JPA Specification. Join query in order to find user I have two tables:
@Table(name = "userinstance")
@Entity
public class UserInstance implements Comparable<UserInstance> {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String uuid;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    String userId;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 2048)
    @Column(length = 2048, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String description;

    @JsonBackReference
    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "userInstance")
    private List<UserDetailsInstance> userDetailsInstances = new ArrayList<>();

}

@Table(name = "userdetailsinstance")
@Entity
public class UserDetailsInstance implements Comparable<UserDetailsInstance> {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String uuid;

    @JsonManagedReference
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "usr_instance_id", nullable = false)
    private UserInstance userinstance;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 100)
    @Column(length = 100, unique = false, nullable = false)
    private String type;

    @Column(length = 1)
    private Status status;

    @Column(length = 1000)
    private String message;

    @Column(length = 4000)
    private String instanceData;

}

What I want to achieve is to be able to find the User (UserInstance table) using filter and using only single query parameter ("name");
In order to do that i have a:
public class UserInstanceQuery extends BaseQuery {

    private final Long id;

    private final String name;

    private final String user;

    private final Instant createdDate;

    private final Instant lastModifiedDate;

    public UserInstanceQuery(Long id, String name, String user, String createdDate, String lastModifiedDate, Pageable pageable) {
        super(pageable);
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.user = user;
        this.createdDate = convertStringToInstant(createdDate);
        this.lastModifiedDate = convertStringToInstant(lastModifiedDate);
    }

    public Specification<UserInstance> toSpecification() {
        return new UserSpecification(this);
    }
}

And the specification looks like:
public class UserInstanceSpecification implements Specification<UserInstance> {

    private final UserInstanceQuery userInstanceQuery;

    @Override
    public Predicate toPredicate(Root<UserInstance> root, CriteriaQuery<?> query, CriteriaBuilder cb) {
        List<Predicate> predicates = new LinkedList<>();

        if (userInstanceQuery.getId() != null) {
            predicates
                .add(
                    cb.equal(root.get("id"),
                        userInstanceQuery.getId())
                );
        }

        if (userInstanceQuery.getUser() != null && !userInstanceQuery.getUser().isEmpty()) {
            predicates
                .add(cb.equal(
                    cb.lower(root.get("userId")), userInstanceQuery.getUser().toLowerCase()));
        }

        if (userInstanceQuery.getName() != null && !userInstanceQuery.getName().isEmpty()) {
            Subquery<UserInstance> subquery = query.subquery(UserInstance.class);
            Root<UserDetailsInstance> subRoot = subquery.from(UserDetailsInstance.class);
            List<Predicate> subPredicates = new ArrayList<>();
            subPredicates.add(cb.like(subRoot.get("instanceData"), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName() + "%"));

            subquery.select(subRoot.get("userInstance")).where(subPredicates.toArray(new Predicate[predicates.size()]));

            predicates.add(
                cb.or(
                    cb.like(cb.lower(root.get("name")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%"),
                    cb.like(cb.lower(root.get("environment")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%"),
                    cb.like(cb.lower(root.get("description")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%"),
                    cb.exists(subquery)
                )
            );
        }

        if (userInstanceQuery.getCreatedDate() != null && userInstanceQuery.getLastModifiedDate() != null) {
            predicates.add(
                cb.and(
                    cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(root.get("createdDate"), userInstanceQuery.getCreatedDate()),
                    cb.lessThanOrEqualTo(root.get("lastModifiedDate"), userInstanceQuery.getLastModifiedDate())
                )
            );
        }

        return cb.and(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[predicates.size()]));
    }

    private boolean currentQueryIsCountRecords(CriteriaQuery<?> criteriaQuery) {
        return criteriaQuery.getResultType() == Long.class || criteriaQuery.getResultType() == long.class;
    }
}

The issue is, that when i search for a string that contains only in UserDetailsInstance "instanceData" Field i get multiple results that don't actually have the data i need and are not referring to the user
Hibernate generated an sql like this:
select user0_.id as id1_7_, user0_.created_by as created_by2_7_, user0_.created_date as created_date3_7_, user0_.last_modified_by as last_modified_by4_7_, user0_.last_modified_date as last_modified_date5_7_, user0_.version as version6_7_, user0_.description as description7_7_, user0_.environment as environment8_7_, user0_.name as name9_7_, user0_.user_id as user_id10_7_, user0_.uuid as uuid11_7_ from usertinstance user0_
where (lower(user0_.name) like ?
 or lower(user0_.environment) like ?
 or lower(user0_.description) like ?
 or exists (select userdetail.tds_instance_id
      from userdetailsinstance userdetail
      cross join usertinstance user2_
          where userdetail.tds_instance_id=user2_.id
      and (userdetail.instance_data like ?)))
  and user0_.created_date>=? and user0_.last_modified_date<=? order by user0_.id desc fetch first ? rows only

If i try to run this query in SQLDeveloper/Datagrip I also get a multiple set of rows
At the same time if i change (line 8)
where userdetail.usr_instance_id=user2_.id

to
where userdetail.usr_instance_id=user0_.id

I get the result i need
Can you please point me to the error in Query creation or maybe tell me how to make this query return a value i need
Thanks!

A: The solution was much easier as i've expected
UserInstanceSpecification:
if (userInstanceQuery.getName() != null && !userInstanceQuery.getName().isEmpty()) {
            Join<UserInstance, UserDetailsInstance> bos = root.join("userDetailsInstances", JoinType.LEFT);

            predicates.add(
                cb.or(
                    cb.like(cb.lower(root.get("name")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%"),
                    cb.like(cb.lower(root.get("description")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%"),
                    cb.like(cb.lower(bos.get("instanceData")), "%" + userInstanceQuery.getName().toLowerCase() + "%")
                )
            );
        }

Private closed-end real estate funds have again returned record amounts of capital back to investors; funds distributed USD138 billion to investors in 2013, USD187 billion in 2014, and a further USD103 billion in the first half of 2015.
That's according to Preqin's 2016 Global Real Estate Report, which reveals that buoyed by rising real estate valuations, the industry has seen 22 consecutive quarters of increase in net asset value (NAV) up to Q2 2015, the latest available data. Private real estate funds generated returns of 15 per cent in the year to June 2015, and 16 per cent per annum in the three years to June 2015.
As a result of these returns, 89 per cent of investors surveyed by Preqin said that their real estate investments either met or exceeded their expectations in 2015. Record levels of distributions have made more capital available for re- investment, and 82 per cent of investors expect either to maintain or increase their capital commitment to real estate funds in 2016 compared to 2015.
Record distributions have reduced the AUM of the real estate industry by USD15 billion to total USD743 billion at the end of June 2015. Though dry powder held by real estate firms grew by USD5 billion to reach USD202 billion, the unrealised value of assets fell from USD561 billion to USD541 billion in H1 2015.
2011 vintage real estate funds have generated a median net IRR of 17 per cent, the highest of any vintage year since the Global Financial Crisis.
North America-focused real estate funds have the highest median IRR of any regional focus in four of the five most recent vintage years (2008 – 2012). The median IRR for these funds has been 10 per cent or more for every vintage year since 2008.
Sixty-seven percent of fund managers say that it is currently more difficult to find attractive investment opportunities than one year ago. Over half (56 per cent) say that finding attractive opportunities is the biggest challenge facing fund managers going into 2016.
Despite the growing 'wall of capital' available to firms, real estate fund managers remain confident of their ability to put capital to work with 60 per cent expecting to deploy more in 2016 than 2015. "Rising real estate valuations globally have helped the asset class become one of the best performing private capital strategies in recent years.
