Self-employed freelancers are less likely to experience a lag in productivity arising from this year's World Cup than employees, according to FreeAgent.
The accounting platform said the prevalence of flexible working schedules among freelancers meant that they (and therefore their end-users), will be less affected by 'tournament-inspired' absenteeism.
It comes after researcher Ipsos MORI revealed that nearly one in four respondents say they will skip work because of the World Cup, which is due to run (in terms of scheduled matches) until July 15th.
"Some of those who don't take….authorised leave may try and sneak match-viewing into their work hours, which could dramatically cut their productivity," said FreeAgent, pointing the finger at employees with an uncontrollable love of 'the beautiful game'.
But the accounting platform tots up that self-employment will be one area of the UK economy to emerge relatively unscathed from World Cup fever, as many freelancers enjoy the flexibility to choose the business hours that suit them best.
Employers who emulate the freelance work model – such as by giving their staff outcomes to achieve, rather than timed tasks to adhere to – should likewise be able to minimise 'cup slump,' believes FreeAgent's Ed Molyneux.
"It's not surprising that employee absenteeism spikes during major sporting events, but few business-owners are fully aware of the financial implications these absences can have", he said.
The one bright spot (albeit just for employers) suggesting that, in the UK, World Cup fever will be relatively short-lived was another finding from Ipsos MORI: that only 3% of adults think England will win, rising to just 4% among adults in the UK.


Winner in 2017 of the Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière Photography Prize in partnership with the Académie des beaux-arts for her project "A Siberian Odyssey", Claudine Doury presents the work she has accomplished throughout this year as part of the Prize.
"A Siberian Odyssey" is the story of a return: in her project presented to the jury of the prize, Claudine Doury proposed to return in the footsteps of the people she had met over 20 years ago, in 1991 and 1998 along the Amour River. She wanted to testify both the passage of time on these families photographed at the time, but also the changes that had taken place on a larger scale on these populations. The work to be presented this fall at the Academy is a current and intimate portrait of these naï, oultches and nivkhes families found by Claudine Doury during several trips this year to the village of Nergen. Conceived as a kind of mental diary that recreates several temporal strata of the past of these families and peoples, it is also a testimony to the changes taking place on these lands on the border with China, this powerful neighbour that is rapidly redrawing the geopolitics of the entire region.
The exhibition presents some forty unpublished photographs, photographic notebooks taken on Claudine Doury's return from her previous travels on Amour River, as well as archival photographs that put into perspective the history of these living but vulnerable peoples and cultures.

Info & Disclosures
Erythrokeratodermia (EK) is a rare skin disorder, likely genetic and usually present from infancy.1 There is patchy symmetrical involvement over the body surface, manifested in progressive figurate plaques of hyperkeratosis and more transient areas of erythema. There is significant overlap in the clinical and genetic features of the "variabilis" and "progressiva" forms of EK. Restricted cutaneous syndromes of EK have been described associated with mutations in the connexin (GJB3, GJB4, and GJA1) and loricrin (LOR) genes. The majority of patients with EK, however, have no pathogenic mutations in the GJB genes or LOR.
Three different mutations in the ELOVL4 gene have so far been described in patients presenting with a combination of EK and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA34).2,–,4 We describe here a novel variant in ELOVL4 associated with this syndrome. This case draws attention to the importance of assessing subtle chronic neurologic dysfunction in patients presenting with EK and, conversely, being aware of the occurrence of characteristic cutaneous lesions in this newly described syndrome of spinocerebellar ataxia.
Case description and genetic results
A 60-year-old woman was referred for assessment of visual blurring and diplopia. Her cutaneous disorder manifested around age 4 years, with widespread variable itchy areas of erythema and progressive localized skin thickening. She had no success with topical Tazorac and compounded creams. Oral acitretin (25 mg) was helpful but discontinued because of alopecia. Although her visual symptoms had only gradually appeared at age 50 years, she reported noticing ataxia of gait as far back as teenage years. Her parents who were deceased at age 73 years and age 84 years had reported no symptoms of rash or ataxia. Her 5 siblings, similarly, were asymptomatic from the dermatologic and neurologic standpoint. Two children were biologically unrelated (adopted).
On examination, there were widespread demarcated brown erythematous keratotic plaques typical of EK over her wrists, hands, inner thighs, knees, and ankles (figure, A and B). Neuro-ophthalmic deficits included square wave jerks, saccadic pursuit, and alternating skew deviation with superimposed periodic alternating skew deviation in primary position (period 2.5 minutes). Myotatic reflexes were diffusely reduced (1+) and absent at the ankles. There was moderate rombergism and marked tandem gait ataxia, but no appendicular dysmetria. A skin biopsy showed irregular acanthosis, papillomatosis, and hyperkeratosis, in keeping with EK. MRI of the brain showed only subtle flattening of the ventral pons and mild global cerebellar atrophy. Nerve conduction studies and needle EMG studies were normal.
Figure Erythrokeratodermia (lower limbs)
The clinical presentation suggested the possibility of SCA34. ELOVL4 gene sequencing (Prevention Genetics, Marshfield, WI) identified a variant (c.698C>T; p.Thr233Met), which has not been reported in the literature or public databases. The amino acid substitution programs CADD (27.9), PolyPhen-2 (1.0), and MutationTaster (1.0) predict the variant to be damaging, and the Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant (SIFT) program predicts it to be tolerated (table). It was not possible to test parents, but 2 clinically unaffected siblings were tested and did not carry this variant. The patient was started on baclofen, starting at 5 mg tid and titrating up to 15 mg tid over 1 month. She reported significant improvement in the perception of oscillopsia and the duration and frequency of bouts of diplopia. She also elected to try application of beeswax cream (reported to contain 30-32 carbon very long chain fatty acids) on her legs for 2 months, which was of no benefit.
Clinical and MRI features of patients with ELOVL4 mutations associated with clinical features of SCA34
This case broadens the genetic mutation profile of EK by reporting a patient with a fourth variant in the ELOVL4 gene associated with SCA34 (table). The ELOVL4 gene catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction in elongation of fatty acids with a chain length greater than C26. It is ubiquitously expressed, but particularly enriched in the retina. It is critical in the development of the outer layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum.5 Rare diseases associated with dysregulation of ELOVL4 in addition to SCA34 include 2 autosomal recessive conditions: hereditary macular degeneration (Stargardt disease) and a syndrome of ichthyosis, spastic quadriplegia, and mental retardation.6
The clinical presentation of our patient is quite similar to what was reported in a large French Canadian family with 32 affected members.2 In this large SCA34 family, cutaneous involvement began in infancy, with a preponderance of hyperkeratosis over erythema. Gait ataxia was noted to start usually around age 50 years. Our patient may be unique in reporting prominent oculomotor symptoms. A periodic alternating skew deviation was significantly improved when treated with baclofen.
The possibility of SCA34 should be considered in patients with EK, and clinicians should be aware that cerebellar manifestations are relatively late and variable, whereas cutaneous involvement has an onset early in childhood. SCA34 should thus be considered in the differential diagnosis of genetic neurocutaneous disorders. Oculomotor manifestations should be specifically assessed because they may be improved with treatment.

Q: Grails: Very slow deploy time. 'Resolving Dependencies...' takes 10+ seconds Every time I make a minor change to my Grails app it takes 10-15 seconds to deploy it. The majority of the time is in 'Resolving Dependencies'...
Welcome to Grails 1.3.7 - http://grails.org/
...
Resolving dependencies...
Dependencies resolved in 9868ms.

Here are some details of my setup:

*

*MacBook (OS X 10.5.8) 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM + plenty of disk space

*SpringSource Tool Suite - Version: 2.6.1.RELEASE Build Id: 201105041000

*Grails 1.3.7

*A small Grails project with only a few domain models

*Just a few plugins: hibernate 1.3.7, mail 1.0, spring-security-core 1.1.3, spring-security-open id 1.0.2, spring-security-ui 0.1.2, webtest 3.0.1

Areas Investigated Already:

*

*Deleting the .ivy2 directory and forcing a complete external refresh did bring it down by around 5 seconds.

*My .ivy2 directory is on my local machine so it's not this problem

*I did have some dependency problems similar to these however I've now fixed them and I'm not getting any errors.

*I've turned the logging on in BuildConfig.groovy by setting log "info" in the grails.project.dependency.resolution section. It appears to be spending most of the time 'resolving' the dependencies rather than actually downloading items, so I don't think mavenCentral or other public Maven repositories are a problem.

Extract from log...
resolution report  resolve 802ms  artifacts dl 86ms
resolution report resolve 8492ms  artifacts dl 150ms
Dependencies resolved in 9909ms.

Extra Info:
By deploy I mean using 'run-app', by redeploy I mean changing a file that forces Grails to automaticaly do a 'run-app.' I don't have any other network related performance issues and have a 32MB down, 1MB up broadband internet connection.
For benchmarking I have worked on a similarly sized app in the past where the 'Resolving Dependencies' took around 1 second. That setup was Grails 1.3.6, Shiro security plugin, a similarly small project with a few domain models on a Windows XP service Pack 3 machine (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 2GB RAM) Then I was using NetBeans 6.9.1.
Extra Info 2: The full ivy log is attached here

I'm changing very few files each time so it is extremely frustrating when it takes 15 seconds to do a redeploy.
Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce the time needed for 'Resolving Dependencies...'?

A: Following up on our conversation in the comments.
The best way that I know of to reduce dependency resolution time if you have determined that the problem is not your network is make sure you don't have any snapshot dependencies. Snapshot dependencies are versions of a dependency in active development, so Ivy will need to actually go out to the external server to check if a new version of that snapshot is available.
I noticed that you mentioned that you are using the webtest 3.0.1 gr ails plugin. I know that this plugin depends on two snapshot jars. So removing this plugin should improve the time required for dependency resolution. I don't know of a way to override the dependencies specified in a plugin. In the case of the webtest plugin I don't think that there is a version of the dependency that would be acceptable other than the one specified. The best thing you can do is to nag the plugin author to remove the snapshots.

A: Just found out (through asking) that you can use a local repository to resolve your snapshot dependencies. This could be faster than over the network:
Grails: working offline with snapshot dependencies

A: Please see my answer here.  A plugin relying on a poorly defined maven artifact can cause grails to go and look every time for a newer version.
Grails very slow to resolve certain dependencies

Knives Out, feat. Hellyeah, Nothingface Members, Stream New Material Online
KNIVES OUT, the new Baltimore, Maryland-based project featuring current/former members of HELLYEAH, NOTHINGFACE, DOG FASHION DISCO and POLKADOT CADAVER, have announced they will be performing on April 17th, 2010 in Baltimore, MD at the Ottobar. The group is currently streaming the song "Blood Everywhere" from their upcoming debut album online at www.myspace.com/knivesout1.
"We are excited beyond words to show the world what this band is. Our record in undeniable," commented guitarist Jasan Stepp.
"April 17th will be our first show performing without Tom, who is busy with Hellyeah. Tom is still a member of Knives Out, which is why we have chosen to not have some guy come in to play his parts. It has taken a ton of practice and a pretty elaborate, multi-amplifier guitar rig to make this a one guitar band, but we feel like it has worked incredibly well. Adding another personality to our band didn't seem like the right thing to do."
KNIVES OUT recently finished recording their debut album at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, MD. The album is currently being shopped to interested labels for release in late 2010. The band independently released a self-titled four song EP online through iTunes and digital retailers earlier this year.

Right before leaving North Palm Beach, Florida and heading North on U.S. Highway One leads you to the small town of Juno Beach. Juno Beach is just a few traffic lights and if you aren't careful, before you know it, you will be in Jupiter Florida. Right before you enter Juno Beach, on the east side of the road with Access to the Atlantic Ocean is a small gated community by the name of Captain's Key.
Just 29 custom single family homes grace the canal which is part of Little Lake Wroth and leads to Lake Worth. This little piece of paradise has a true neighborhood feel lined with sidewalks and lush tropical landscaping. People decide to purchase in Captains Key for sale because of the quaint feel and the of course, the boating. Atlantic Ocean access is available with docks on over 100 feet of frontage. Some of the lots on Oyster Bay and Captains Landing are on half acre, a rarity this close to town. The homeowner's association costs in Captains Key are low and security excellent.
North Palm Beach real estate is centrally located in between Juno Beach, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens. Nearby is terrific shopping at the Palm Beach Gardens Mall and easy access PBI Airport or downtown Palm Beach. Perfectly in-between all towns gives lots of proximity to all the great restaurants and movie theatres in the area and the famous Juno Beach Pier for great fishing and fun at the beach.
I am interested in learning more about Captains Key homes.


This series commences with coverage of a fascinating but relatively untapped source for Romantic Studies - the long-running The Spirit of the Public Journals, founded and edited in 1797 by Stephen Jones and printed for him by Sherwood, Jones & Co in London. Later taken over by C M Westmacott (who employed George Cruikshank as illustrator), this journal took it upon itself to offer 'an impartial selection of the most exquisite essays and jeux d'espirits' of the age - and its success is reflected in its longevity.
Packed with essays, anecdotes, poetry and polemic culled from the pages of 'public journals' as diverse as The Morning Chronicle and The Anti-Galician.
Offers scholars the opportunity to dip into a wide range of periodicals in one go - helping to identify the preoccupations of the age and to gauge contemporary taste.
Major authors such as Coleridge, Leigh Hunt, Wordsworth and Southey are all well represented.
Opens up of a huge body of writing by lesser-known and anonymous writers; helping scholars to place the well-known verse of leading writers in a broader context.
Many significant contributions by women writers, which will expand our knowledge of their output.
Themes such as the romance of the landscape, sensibility, Gothicism, Orientalism, natural history writing, spiritualism and war poetry can be explored against a much larger backdrop.
Each volume runs to between 400 and 600 pages and contains about 150 individual items on topics such as the death of Pitt, the role of the Medical Debating Society, terrorist novel writing The Lake Poets, The Picturesque and Landscape, and The Dromedary and the Rhinoceros. These articles allow us to feel the pulse of the Romantic era and understand its concerns.

The driving of Saudi women has been one of the concerns of its citizens for years. It has been banned since its inception, and the ban has been in place for many years. Some members of the Shura Council have opposed the ban in these years, including citing that there are about one million foreign drivers in the country whose annual cost is more than $ 3 billion, and if this ban is lifted There is no need to hire foreign drivers. The Quran delegation of the Ulema of Saudi in 1990 issued a fatwa for driving women because of the opposition to the holy shrine of Haram, and despite some attempts to lift the ban, the efforts were not achieved due to opposition from the clerical authorities. .
In 2011, Saudi women launched a campaign to protest a driving ban, and Menal Sharif was the first woman to drive publicly and broadcasted on the Internet.
On November 17, 2014, the Saudi Parliament introduced a plan to free women in the country, which claimed the condition of driving women in Saudi Arabia, over 30 years of age, heavy clothing and consent.
Malik Salman issued a decree on September 26, 2017, which allows women to obtain a driver's license from June 2018 personally without the need to obtain a license from their legal guardian, and also do not require physical presence at the time of driving.
From Sunday 3rd June (June 24th), women who have been awarded a driving license will be allowed to drive on the streets and roads of various cities of the country.
At the same time, women traffic police are also starting to work in this country. 40 police women received their graduation certificate on Thursday June 31.
One of the duties of the Saudi women's police appears to be on the scene of the road accidents, which Saudi women drivers are one of the sides.
The official uniform of these women includes a dark daisy mantle with green headlands. Some of these women also cover their faces with scratching.
The central manager who teaches these women says it's unclear how many female traffic police will be employed this year. "It depends on the amount of demand," he adds.
Following the issuance of a decree by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive in the country in line with the Social Reform Program, many women were enrolled for certification.
Some Saudi women were already fined or imprisoned or prosecuted for driving, although last month they continued their arrests and some women's rights activists, including those who fought for the right to drive women They were arrested in this kingdom, and some of them remain in custody.
Most of the people in the kingdom, especially the youth, support reform, but many are at the same time worried about rapid change, and they worry that such reforms would provoke anger on some religious conservatives.
When the Crown Prince issued an order to end the ban on women driving in September last year, he gave the government 9 months to provide women with driving conditions in the streets and roads of the country.
In this regard, the Saudi Ministry of Interior has launched a reopening of driving training centers and created conditions where women can turn the international driving license. The Saudi Ministry of Interior also co-operated with some private centers to train female policemen.
They also plan to set up temporary detention facilities to keep abusive female drivers, but currently they have dedicated juvenile correctional facilities.
The first driving license for women was issued on June 15, and the first women who received the certificate were among those who had previously been certified internationally.
In the Saudi car market, we are seeing developments that add up to 50 percent of the population to the target list of automotive customers. In the same vein, many automotive companies have launched various promotional campaigns in the past few months aimed at attracting female drivers, and Saudi women, who were more likely to be in passenger cars, are now more accurate than the characteristics Technical and welfare vehicles react because they want a better sense of their driving experience.
Of course, it's a fact that in any country in the world, the choice of car is not directly related to gender, since almost all people, regardless of gender, tend to be attractive and beautiful cars, but in general, automakers are driven by the evolution of the market Saudi Arabia is happy and the market for driving classes is more than ever coin.
This is a topic that is near to my heart… Thsnk you!

do not use a lock to serialize access to the session data. This might result in a data corruption / lose of data when two requests are modifying the session data at the same time.
How about adding a BagInterface implementation which persists data to the backend as soon as it is set instead of waiting on the save call. Likewise we would need to have the get calls directly read data from the backend.
But then the session data might be changed during the lifetime of a request (by an other concurrent request). I don't think this is a desirable behavior.
@schmittjoh - that would sort of break the lifecycle of the session since you'd be persisting the session before PHP asked for it. All the native c code have various locking strategies - copying the strategy from the C code would probably work best, although I find the locking strategy of the memcached driver suspicious (using a further memcached call to store the locks) - but if it's working in practice, then it must be ok.
btw, my idea came from database systems which only lock that part of the data that is necessary to allow for higher concurrency. If we want to do really perfect, we can add a locking mechanism to the session interface so that the developer can decide which information must be locked (read/write) on a per-key basis.
@schmittjoh - what do you mean by "part of the data"? The session is a single record.
only wants to load the requested key, it can as well.
table right now. Instead we could lock only a row (think specific key).
sophisticated implementation than lock all or nothing.
@schmittjoh idea is good. When we want to just verify user permission and send static data we do not need to block session for other request.
@schmittjoh by key locking looks interesting but wouldn't it block in even the simplest cases? For example, when a user is logged in every request would read its authentication data thus blocking other requests. Also, I'm not sure whether locking by key would bring performance issues.
Not locking handlers change the default behaviour considerably with both read and write race conditions. If the solution to these race conditions implies using the session in a special way I still would, for coherence and simplicity, lock the whole session data by default.
I'm arriving to the conclusion session data is evil, specially the PHP way to handle it which is too simple for current needs. I'm thinking about not using $_SESSION and its lifecycle at all, instead every feature requiring storing data attached to a session can implement it as desired. For example, an implementation for flash messages could store these in a database table along with the session id. Blocking would only occur in the serialized transaction reading/clearing the existing messages and the one writing it.
Maybe this is of any help to anyone.
Locking here means we need to make sure that the same session cannot be read while another connection already read this session id. So it must block rows between read() and write().
Locking in MySQL could use SELECT FOR UPDATE as described in http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2007/03/27/php-sessions-files-vs-database-based/ but AFAIK non-existent rows are not locked this way. So we would need to INSERT IGNORE in read() or use SELECT GET_LOCK.
In sqlite one can use BEGIN IMMEDIATE with a RESERVED lock. But since sqlite does not support row locking but locks the whole database it would mean that only one session id can be accessed at a time. It prevents parallel processing of sessions.
A more sophisticated storage implementation as suggestion by @schmittjoh is interesting. But reading/saving each key would collide with the SessionHandler interface. You can only get the whole session serialized and not individual keys. So this would be something completely different.
The php internal sqlite session handler did not seem to use locking: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.3/ext/sqlite/sess_sqlite.c I could not find this for PHP >= 5.4. Was this feature removed?
Since sqlite only supports database locking and no row locking, using locking in sqlite would mean that only one session can be read -> write at a time. Even different sessions would wait for another to finish, i.e. no parallel requests at all. So using sqlite for sessions is highly questionable. Either you have race conditions or you have no parallel requests.
For SQLite, I would still use locking (for correctness) and add a note in the phpdoc about why SQLite can only be an option for development or prototypes, not for production.
Please have a look at #10908. Would be good if someone can test it, esp. Oracle or SQL Server.
This PR was merged into the 2.3 branch.
This is probably the first Session Handler for databases that actually works with locking. I've seen many implementations of session handlers (mostly only for one database vendor) while researching and none used locking. Not even the [PHPs SQLite session handler](https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.3/ext/sqlite/sess_sqlite.c) or [PECL Postgres Handler](http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/session_pgsql/trunk/session_pgsql.c?revision=326806&view=markup) implemented locking  correctly which is probably the reason why they have been discontinued. [Zend Session](https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/blob/master/library/Zend/Session/SaveHandler/DbTableGateway.php) seems not to use locking either. But it saves the lifetime together with the session which seems like a good idea because you could have different lifetimes for different sessions.
- Implements session locking for MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server and SQLite.
Only tested it for MySQL. So would be good if someone can confirm it works as intended on the other databases as well.
- Also removed the custom RuntimeException which is not useful and a PDOException extends RuntimeException anyway, so no BC break.
- I added a default for the table name to be in line with the DoctrineSessionHandler.
- Check session.gc_maxlifetime in read(). Imagine we have only ever one user on an app. If maxlifetime is not checked in read, his session would never expire! What I don't get is why PHP calls gc() after read() instead of calling it before... Strange decision. For this reason I also had to do the following to improve performance.
- I delay gc() to close() so that it is executed outside the transactional and blocking read-write process. This way, pruning expired sessions does not block them from being started while the current session is used.
- Fixed time update for Oracle and SQL Server.
In my case, locking the session gives problems in a websocket context (Ratchet, io thread), where a lock never seems to be released. A second call to the same session waits untill the previous one has been unlocked. As this never happens, the second call finally ends in an exception.
For memcacheD, as it seems to natively support locking in it's session handler, would it make sense to bring back NativeMemcachedSessionHandler?
update: not needed, can just configure symfony to use php handler and configure memcache there.
I just want to warn against the idea to access keys stored in the session individually as proposed by @schmittjoh. This will introduce a very easy to hit race condition if the storage handler will have locking (which it should if it works properly). You have to be very careful in which order to access session variables and do so in all your code. That will be very hard to debug.
What the issue's state ?
I use PdoSessionHandler with MySQL and I have errors that I don't arrive to reproduce. I run on Symfony 2.6.3.
I can see that PdoSessionHandler has been fixed (in first post, task finish).
@andrerom Sorry for the late reply, but I think it makes total sense to bring back the NativeSessionHandler classes.
In certain contexts it makes sense to allow for parallel requests (think API).
In these cases locking the entire bag/session will block other requests.
I think the suggestion made by @schmittjoh to have "row"-level session locking is the right way to go.
What should happen is the ability to do a get with a read and a get with a read+lock.
-- delete, update, and get then should all block on a key that's locked, but normal read-only cases should be able to happen in parallel.
@mmucklo: You say that you want to "allow for parallel requests (think API)". This is certainly recognized by PHP and PHP7 now supports read-only sessions with the "read_and_close" option (see: http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php). This allows for parallel requests as long as you don't write to the session (which is typically the case when an API call is made).
NB: The "session_start" with read-only flag operates on the entire session bag (not on specific keys as @schmittjoh suggests) and that makes it a much easier to avoid deadlock situations.
Headers may work - @mvrhov what about XMLHTTPRequest.setRequestHeader?
However if we're talking about BFF cases, it seems more like the actual session is what we want as it can be easily tied to the browser.
#21093 does not fix this.

Q: C# Code Design Issue I am building a small application and I am trying to understand the best way to approach the design. I am looking for some guidance/advice how best to approach the following issue. Please bear with me. Thank you.
What I have is that I receive a set of data, real time. I then analyze the data for patterns. The patterns are classes that derive from an abstract class which implements an interface. The number of patterns will change over time as patterns are added/removed. In addition, depending on the access level of the user, the data is analyzed with different pattern options. For example, if I have five patterns, A, B, C, D and E, level 100 access may only analyze the data with pattern A whereas access level 300 will analyze with patterns B, D and E, and access level 500 will analyze with all the patterns. The access levels are linked to the user, and a user can have different access levels on different data streams.
My thought is to create a hash table or dictionary for the patterns and a db for the users and their various access levels. Is this the best way to go or is there a better approach that will work in real time?
Any suggestions or advice on how best approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Haslam's IMPROVE Act to Fuel Tennessee's Economy
Increased Gas, Registration Levies Offset by Cuts in Non-Gas Taxes; Local TN Govts Gain Surcharge Referendum Option to Fund Transit
Following weeks of negotiations, political posturing and legislative maneuvering, Governor Bill Haslam on April 26 signed into law the first major update to Tennessee's road-funding program in over 25 years.
Coupling modest increases in the state's fuel taxes and annual registration fees with four significant tax cuts, the enacted version of the IMPROVE Act paves the way for accelerated work on a backlog of over $10 billion in much-needed improvements to state highway routes and bridges—and provides new transportation revenue and options to Tennessee's local governments.
"Efficiently moving goods and people within and through our state is an economic imperative for Tennessee, and is critical to supporting new and expanding business investments as well as the Tennesseans who bring our economy to life," said TBR Chair Margaret O. Dolan (LocalShares Knowledge, LLC, Nashville). "The passage of the IMPROVE Act will help Tennessee remain one of the best places in the nation in which to live and do business."
Once phased in, the IMPROVE Act's revenue-raisers will yield an estimated additional $350 million per year, of which $245 million will go to state projects while $70 million and $35 million in new funding will be shared with Tennessee counties and cities, respectively. Without the new funding, state officials estimated it would have taken until at least the year 2037 to build all of the 962 backlogged projects outlined in the IMPROVE Act, which were previously authorized but lacked funding. "With the passage of the IMPROVE Act," said TN Dept. of Transportation spokesman Mark Nagi, "we're looking to have all of those projects either complete, under construction, or under contract within the next 13-14 years."
For Tennesseans, the new law largely offsets its "user-based" tax and fee increases by cutting a projected $400 million per year in taxes on groceries, dividend and investment income, manufacturers' property and payroll and income, and disabled veterans' real property. Lt. Gov. Randy McNally hailed enactment of the IMPROVE Act as "a victory on all fronts—for taxpayers, for economic development and for the continued mobility and safety of our citizens," adding that "tax cuts result in more money in the pockets of our citizens and more entrepreneurism in our state."
The IMPROVE Act also breaks new ground in a policy area that's increasingly important to Tennessee's most-populated and highly-congested localities: public transit. Subject to approval by local citizens via referendum, the new law allows local governments to impose surcharges on existing local option taxes (such as the local sales tax) to fund the construction of transit projects within their jurisdictions. "The IMPROVE Act empowers Tennessee's most populous counties to create local, dedicated funding for transit through a voter referendum," says Ralph Schulz, head of TBR-member Nashville Chamber. "That's a game-changer for those counties, their residents, and for our state's economy."
The IMPROVE Act raises gasoline taxes by 6 cents per gallon and diesel taxes by 10 cents per gallon over the next three years. Additionally, state vehicle registration fees will see increases starting at $5/year for cars, and electric cars—which use state roads but don't contribute gas taxes to fund them—will be subject to a new annual fee of $100. Existing state levies on alternative vehicle fuels such as compressed natural gas will also increase slightly, to maintain parity with the new levies on traditional fuels.
On the tax-cut side, sales tax on groceries will be decreased by 20%, from 5% to 4%. Additionally, manufacturers in Tennessee that also have operations in other states will gain the option to apportion their franchise & excise tax liability using "single sales factor", instead of having to count their Tennessee property and payrolls in figuring their main corporate taxes in our state. The IMPROVE Act also accelerates the phase-out of the Hall tax on personal income derived from dividends and investments, and at the insistence of the Tennessee Senate, disabled veterans will receive additional property tax relief.
According to a study released in April by The Road Improvement Program (TRIP), a nonprofit national transportation research group, the poor condition of Tennessee's roads and bridges costs motorists $6 billion per year in vehicle repairs, depreciation of value, tire wear, and accidents. As for economic development, the Federal Highway Administration estimates an ROI of $5.20 for every dollar spent on road and bridge project improvements in reduced maintenance costs and emissions, fewer delays and accidents, and less fuel consumption.

Q: How does filter2D function in OpenCV perform more efficient than my own convolution code? I am trying to write my own code in C++ to achieve convolution.
And the kernel is 11 by 11 and not separable. So my code is like this:
for(int i = 0; i < image.rows; ++i){
    for(int j = 0; j < image.cols; ++j){
       int tmp, sum;
       for(int m= 0; m < kernel.rows; ++m){
          for(int n = 0; n < kernel.cols; ++n){
             tmp = image[i+m-(Size_kernel-1)/2][j+n-(Size_kernel-1)/2];
             float kernel_index = kernel[m][n];
             float index_mult = (float)index_mult * kernel_index;
             sum = sum + index_mult;
          }
       }
      new_image[i][j] = sum;
    }
 }

We can see the complexity of this piece  of code is big. And it is very slow when I run the program.
However, when I plug in the two matrices into "filter2D" function in OpenCV. It takes very short time to show the result. Can anyone explain how filter2D in OpenCV achieves convolution? Why there is big difference in efficiency between OpenCV and my own code? Thanks!

BSU Hosts 'Expressions' Event
Keith Berry
Singing, dancing, reciting poetry, etc. all have their own ways of telling stories that invite people to express themselves. And so it was fitting that on Feb. 9 the Black Student Union (BSU), a Manchester University club, held an event called Expressions where the arts were welcomed and encouraged. From 8:30-10:30 p.m. in Wampler Auditorium, students of all shapes and sizes, ages and races, were welcomed to express their feelings or just entertain through their hobbies or passions. In turn, they experienced a warm, welcoming environ-ment and plenty of smiling faces.
There was a combination of impressions, singing/karaoke, dancing, video viewing, and in-strument playing. There was also a Black History Month texture in the room, as many of the acts presented were recitals from famous African American artists or singers. Some of the pieces included songs made by professional singers such as Beyoncé or R. Kelly, while others recited poems from African American poets such as Maya Angelou. Some acts presented original pieces. The various presentations confirmed that there is a multitude of hidden talent at Manchester University.
BSU president Caniece Leggett feels that the arts play an important role in society. "I think the arts influences people's lives because it gives them a way to express themselves so they can share it with others," Leggett said. "It also is a way to connect with each other and know that we all are going through something that could be different or similar to what is happening in our own lives. The arts sometimes go unnoticed but if you actually take the time to listen, look, or feel, the arts can be become very magical and real."
BSU club meetings take place every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. Glynn Hines '73 (a founder of the AAFRO House, which is now known as the Intercultural Center) came on February 16. Tonight, Feb. 19, the club will be going to see the movie RACE, which is the story of Olympic sprinter Jesse Owens, and they will attend a church service in Fort Wayne on Feb. 21.
On Feb. 27, BSU plans on attending a Step Show at Michigan State University. Their last event on campus will be the Black and White Affair in the JYSC on April 1. No fooling: this is where students can dress up, enjoy each other's company, and dance! "We are looking to revamp it so people should come to see what's new," Leggett said.


In a scene from the recent film adaptation of 21 Jump Street, Jonah Hill gets chewed out by Ice Cube for bothering Korean Jesus when he goes to a local (presumably Korean) church to pray away his anxieties. (Can you tell I haven't actually see the movie?) Apparently, he was barking up the wrong tree. On the latest single off his forthcoming full-length, Dumbfoundead reveals himself as the rightful bearer of that title. In stark contrast to soul-searching lead single Growing Young, this record finds the L.A. spitter reveling in braggadocio and reckless behavior; over Duke Westlake's soul samples and thumping percussion, he performs a few miracles that the writers of the canonical gospels decided to leave out of their accounts.

Amadeo Avogadro – Relating Volumes to Quantities and Avogadro's Law

Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro (1776-1856)
On August 9, 1776, Italian scientist Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Conte di Quaregna e Cerreto was born. He is most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. In tribute to him, the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in 1 mole of a substance, 6.02214179(30)×1023, is known as the Avogadro constant, one of the seven SI base units and represented by NA.
Avogadro was born at Turin to a noble family of Piedmont-Sardinia in the year 1776 the son of Filippo Avogadro, conte di Quaregna e Cerreto, a distinguished lawyer and senator, and Anna Vercellone of Biella. That city, now part of Italy, was then of the Kingdom of Sardinia and Italy was still divided into independent countries.
Avogadro graduated in jurisprudence in 1792 but did not practice law until after receiving his doctorate in ecclesiastical law four years later at age 31. In 1801 he became secretary to the prefecture of Eridano. Beginning in 1800, Avogadro privately pursued studies in mathematics and physics, and he focused his early research on electricity. [2] In 1809 started teaching them at a liceo (high school) in Vercelli, where his family lived and had some property.
In 1811, Avogadro published an article with the title Essai d'une manière de déterminer les masses relatives des molécules élémentaires des corps, et les proportions selon lesquelles elles entrent dans ces combinaisons ("Essay on Determining the Relative Masses of the Elementary Molecules of Bodies and the Proportions by Which They Enter These Combinations"), which contains Avogadro's hypothesis. Avogadro hypothesized that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. From this hypothesis it followed that relative molecular weights of any two gases are the same as the ratio of the densities of the two gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. Avogadro also astutely reasoned that simple gases were not formed of solitary atoms but were instead compound molecules of two or more atoms. Thus Avogadro was able to overcome the difficulty that Dalton and others had encountered when Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac,[5]who had published in 1808 his law on volumes (and combining gases), reported that above 100°C the volume of water vapor was twice the volume of the oxygen used to form it. It had already been established that if an element forms more than one compound with another element (such as oxygen combining with carbon to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide), then the weight of the second element being the same, the weights of the first element that combine with it are in simple integral proportions to each other. This formed the basis of John Dalton's atomic theory.[3,6] Although Dalton was widely venerated in his lifetime, his proposals for atomic weights were received with scepticism in many quarters.[4] According to Avogadro, the molecule of oxygen had split into two atoms in the course of forming water vapor.[2] Although his gaseous elementary molecules were predominantly diatomic, he also recognized the existence of monatomic, triatomic, and tetratomic elementary molecules.[1] What Avogadro really did was to switch attention from gravimetric to volumetric analyses.[4]
Avogadro submitted this essay to a Jean-Claude Delamétherie's Journal de Physique, de Chimie et d'Histoire naturelle ("Journal of Physics, Chemistry and Natural History", Piedmont at the time forming part of the First French Empire). In 1811 he provided the correct molecular formula for water, nitric and nitrous oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride. In 1814 he described the formulas for carbon dioxide, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. He also applied his hypothesis to metals and assigned atomic weights to 17 metallic elements based upon analyses of particular compounds that they formed. However, his references to gaz métalliques may have actually delayed chemists' acceptance of his ideas. In 1821 he offered the correct formula for alcohol (C2H6O) and for ether (C4H10O).[1] In 1820, Avogadro became a professor of physics at the University of Turin. Turin was now the capital of the restored Savoyard Kingdom of Sardinia under Victor Emmanuel I. Avogadro was active in the revolutionary movement of March 1821. As a result, he lost his chair in 1823. Eventually, King Charles Albert granted a Constitution in 1848. Well before this, Avogadro had been recalled to the university in Turin in 1833, where he taught for another twenty years.
Little is known about Avogadro's private life, which appears to have been sober and religious. Home-loving, industrious, and modest, he rarely left Turin. His minimal contact with prominent scientists and his habit of citing his own results increased his isolation.[1] The scientific community did not give great attention to his theory, so Avogadro's hypothesis was not immediately accepted. André-Marie Ampère achieved the same results three years later by another method, but the same indifference was shown to his theory as well.[7] Besides his famous Essay of 1811, Avogadro published many physical memoirs on electricity, the dilatation of liquids by heat, specific heats, capillary attraction, atomic volumes as well as a treatise in 4 volumes on Fisica di corpi ponderabili (1837-1841).
In 1853, Avogadro submitted a final paper to the Turin Academy of Sciences on the behavior of gases subjected to different degrees of compression. Avogadro died in Turin on July 9, 1856. In honor of Avogadro's contributions to molecular theory, the number of molecules in one mole was named Avogadro's number, NA or "Avogadro's constant". It is approximately 6.0221415×1023. Avogadro's number is used to compute the results of chemical reactions. It allows chemists to determine amounts of substances produced in a given reaction to a great degree of accuracy. Johann Josef Loschmidt first calculated the value of Avogadro's number, often referred to as the Loschmidt number in German-speaking countries.
