[Updated this post on April 04, 2019, to make sure this tutorial is compatible with OpenCV 4.x and TensorFlow 2.0]
In this post we're going to learn how to create an image classifier application with a proper GUI that allows the users to choose a camera or a video file as the input and classify the incoming images (video or camera frames) in real time. We'll be using the power of Qt for cross-platform GUI creation and anything related to visualizing the output and allowing a seamless experience for the user. We'll also be using TensorFlow and OpenCV to handle the actual classification task, along with accessing cameras and video files.
With the more recent versions of OpenCV, a new module was introduced for handling Deep Learning problems, which is getting better and better by each release. This module is called "dnn" and I recommend getting the latest version of OpenCV (3.4.1 at the time of writing this article) to make sure you face no issues at all (or less issues if any). Using this new module, we can load and use deep learning models from popular 3rd party libraries such as TensorFlow, Caffe, DarkNet and so on. In our example project we'll use pre-trained TensorFlow models, namely ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco, however, you can easily use other models too if you get a firm grasp on all of the information provided here.
We'll be performing everything described here in Windows operating system, so we'll cover the prerequisites for Windows. On other operating systems such as macOS or Linux though, the only major change is the compiler which is either provided as part of Xcode or GCC. So, here is what you need on Windows:
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (https://www.visualstudio.com)
• Qt5 (https://www.qt.io)
• OpenCV 3 (https://opencv.org)
• CMake (https://cmake.org)
• Python 64-bit (https://www.python.org)
• TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org)
Make sure to install the latest version of all dependencies mentioned here. At the time of writing this article, it would be Qt5.10.1, OpenCV 3.4.1, CMake 3.10.2, Python 3.6.4 and TensorFlow 1.6.
[Update April 04, 2019: Qt5.12.2, OpenCV 4.0.1 and TensorFlow 2.0 will also work, as long as you take into account the updated notes such as this one, throughout this tutorial.]
If your OpenCV installation does not contain 64-bit MSVC 15 libraries, then you need to build them from source by yourself. You search my website for detailed guides on how to do just that! You can continue reading if you have all dependencies in place.
Creating a Qt GUI Project That Uses CMake
We are going to create a Qt GUI application project that uses CMake. This is a good point to learn about this if you have never used CMake with Qt Creator before. It will also allow a lot easier integration of OpenCV libraries into our Qt project. So, start by creating a new project as seen in the next screenshot (Choose Plain C++ Application):
Press "Choose" and on the next screen make sure to name your project "Image Classifier" (or anything else you prefer). Also choose CMake and the "Build System" in the next screen:
After the project is created, replace all of the contents of CMakeLists.txt file with the following (the comments in the following code are meant as a description to why each line exists at all):
# Specify the minimum version of CMake(3.1 is currently recommended by Qt)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
# Specify project title
# To automatically run MOC when building(Meta Object Compiler)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
# To automatically run UIC when building(User Interface Compiler)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
# To automatically run RCC when building(Resource Compiler)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
# Specify OpenCV folder, and take care of dependenciesand includes
set(OpenCV_DIR "path_to_opencv")
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
include_directories(${ OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS })
# Take care of Qt dependencies
find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Gui Widgets REQUIRED)
# add required source, header, uiand resource files
add_executable(${ PROJECT_NAME } "main.cpp" "mainwindow.h" "mainwindow.cpp" "mainwindow.ui")
# link required libs
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} Qt5::Core Qt5::Gui Qt5::Widgets ${OpenCV_LIBS})
You can also download the final CMakeLists.txt file from here:
Just make sure to replace "path_to_opencv" with the actual path to your OpenCV installation. That would be the folder where "OpenCVConfig.cmake" and "OpenCVConfig-version.cmake" files exist. Don't worry about the mainwindow entries as they will be added later on.
Next, replace all of the contents of "main.cpp" with the following:
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
return a.exec();
Now, to add a Main Window to our application, select "New File or Project" from the "File" menu and then choose Qt Designer Form Class as seen below:
Make sure to choose "MainWindow" in the next screen, as seen here:
We'll design a GUI similar to the following:
You can also get "mainwindow.ui" file from here:
In the "mainwindow.h" file, you need to start by adding the required includes, as seen here:
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QMessageBox>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QFile>
#include <QElapsedTimer>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsPixmapItem>
#include <QCloseEvent>
#include <QFileDialog>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
We will also need the following private members:
cv::dnn::Net tfNetwork;
QGraphicsScene scene;
QGraphicsPixmapItem pixmap;
bool videoStopped;
Where tfNetwork is the Deep Learning Network class in OpenCV, scene and pixmaps are used for displaying the output properly, and finally videoStopped is used as a flag to stop the video. We are going to keep things as simple as possible here.
You can download "mainwindow.h" file from here:
"mainwindow.cpp" contains a number of methods to deal with the user interactions but the most important piece of code in it, is the part responsible for loading the TensorFlow model and configurations, and then performing detections. Here is how it is done. First of all, the pretrained model is loaded into the network (you'll see how and where to get the models later on):
tfNetwork = readNetFromTensorflow(ui->pbFileEdit->text().toStdString(), ui->pbtxtFileEdit->text().toStdString());
pbFileEdit and pbtxtFileEdit in this code are two Qt Line Edit widgets that hold the paths to the required files. The next step is loading a video or an existing camera on the computer. Using two radio buttons we can allow the users to switch between camera and video mode and then open the chosen one, here's how:
VideoCapture video;
if (ui->cameraRadio->isChecked())
Where cameraRadio is a Radio Button, cameraSpin is a Spin Box and videoEdit is a Line Edit widget. Next thing we need to do is loop while reading video frames and processing them, until the video is ended or it is stopped. Here's a simple solution for that:
Mat image;
while (!videoStopped && video.isOpened())
video >> image;
// Detect objects ...
There are many different ways to achieve responsiveness in GUI when performing such tasks, and this is one of them. The more recommended way would be to move this part of the code into a QThread, but as it was mentioned before, we'll keep things simple. The actual detection part is done as seen below.
First create a BLOB compatible with TensorFlow models:
Mat inputBlob = blobFromImage(image,
Size(inWidth, inHeight),
Scalar(meanVal, meanVal, meanVal),
The values provided to blobFromImage are defined as constants and must be provided by the network provider (see the references section at the bottom to peek into where they come from). Here's what they are:
const int inWidth = 300;
const int inHeight = 300;
const float meanVal = 127.5; // 255 divided by 2
const float inScaleFactor = 1.0f / meanVal;
[Update April 04, 2019: You will only need inScaleFactor if you are using OpenCV 4.x and TensorFlow 2.0, pass it a value of 0.95]
To actually provide the blob to the network and get the detection results, do the following:
Mat result = tfNetwork.forward();
Mat detections(result.size[2], result.size[3], CV_32F, result.ptr<float>());
In the preceding code we simply set the input of the network to the prepared blob, then calculate the result of the network using the forward() method, and finally create a detections Mat class which has rows and columns equal to the third (height) and fourth (width) element of the Mat::size. See the following link, or the documentation for imagesFromBlob function if you feel lost:
The next part is extracting detections (based on an acceptable threshold), then getting the bounding boxes for objects, printing the name of the detected object class over it (from a previously loaded string of labels), and finally displaying it:
for (int i = 0; i < detections.rows; i++)
float confidence = detections.at<float>(i, 2);
if (confidence > confidenceThreshold)
using namespace cv;
int objectClass = (int)(detections.at<float>(i, 1));
int left = static_cast<int>(
detections.at<float>(i, 3) * image.cols);
int top = static_cast<int>(
detections.at<float>(i, 4) * image.rows);
int right = static_cast<int>(
detections.at<float>(i, 5) * image.cols);
int bottom = static_cast<int>(
detections.at<float>(i, 6) * image.rows);
rectangle(image, Point(left, top),
Point(right, bottom), Scalar(0, 255, 0));
String label = classNames[objectClass].toStdString();
int baseLine = 0;
Size labelSize = getTextSize(label, FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,
0.5, 2, &baseLine);
top = max(top, labelSize.height);
rectangle(image, Point(left, top - labelSize.height),
Point(left + labelSize.width, top + baseLine),
Scalar(255, 255, 255), FILLED);
putText(image, label, Point(left, top),
FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.5, Scalar(0, 0, 0));
ui->videoView->fitInView(&pixmap, Qt::KeepAspectRatio);
You can download mainwindow.cpp file from here:
Our application is more than ready! But we still need to get and prepare a TensorFlow network, so, let's move on to the next section.
Getting and Preparing TensorFlow Model
First of all, start by downloading a pre-trained model from TensorFlow model zoo:
We will be using ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco which you can directly download from here:
[Update April 04, 2019: Or you can use a more recent version such as this one.]
Extract it to get ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_2017_11_17 folder with the pre-trained files.
You need to get the text graph file for the model, one that is compatible with OpenCV. To do this you must use the following script:
If you don't have OpenCV source files (which would be quite strange at this point), you can get the script from here:
Just copy it to ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_2017_11_17 folder and execute the following:
tf_text_graph_ssd.py --input frozen_inference_graph.pb --output frozen_inference_graph.pbtxt
Update April 04, 2019: In more recent versions of OpenCV, you need to also copy tf_text_graph_common.py file, in addition to tf_text_graph_ssd.py, into the folder mentioned above and execute the following command:
tf_text_graph_ssd.py --input frozen_inference_graph.pb --output frozen_inference_graph.pbtxt --config pipeline.config
Class names for this model can be found here:
This file won't be of use for us the way it is, so here is a here's a simpler (CSV) format that I've prepared to use to display class names when detecting them:
Now we have everything we need to run and test our classification app in action.
Running the Image Classifier Application
Run the application in Qt Creator and switch to the Settings tab at the bottom of the screen. You can choose the input files in this page, as seen in the screenshot:
Now switch back to the Controls tab and hit the Start button. Try objects that exist in the class names list and see how the results are. Here's what I got which is pretty good if we ignore the fact that my iPad is not exactly a TV:
Following pages, one way or another, helped me a lot while writing this guide:
For more tutorials and a comprehensive guide to power-up your cross-platform and computer vision application development skills, you can also get my book, "Computer Vision with OpenCV 3 and Qt5", from Amazon:

RSBC partners with Capricorn Shading Group
In February 2019, Capricorn Shading Group made a commitment to support the work of The Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). Having learned of the impact of the charity's core service operating across England and Wales, this national retailer responded with a commercial partnership proposal to help further RSBC's ambition to reach more blind and partially sighted children, young people and their families with dedicated, one to one support.
It was after hearing stories like that of Jay and Heather from Worcester, that Capricorn CEO Tom O'Loughlin decided to join forces with RSBC.
Tom says, ""After hearing about some of the ways RSBC have helped blind and partially sighted children in the West Midlands and beyond, we were convinced immediately that they were the right partner for us."
Meet Jay
Jay's story reminds us that sight loss can affect anyone at any time in their life, but the challenges faced by children and young people with a sight loss diagnosis are far more complex and the effect on the whole family can be immense and long lasting.
Fourteen year old Jay is one of three brothers and he lives with this mum Heather. He was born with a degenerative condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) which affects the light sensitive cells at the back of the eyes. Jay was just four when he was diagnosed and the ten years that followed, saw the gradual but eventually total loss of his sight.
It was during an ordinary Friday night at home in 2017 that Jay's life altered dramatically. He was watching TV with his mum, something he had been able to manage pretty well with some residual sight until this point, when he experienced a sudden and complete drop in his vision. He could no longer see the screen of the TV and he and Heather were understandably very distressed.
Heather recalls, "We knew Jay was probably going to lose his sight eventually, but it happened a lot quicker than anyone was expecting and it was very scary for him."
Both Jay and Heather were overwhelmed by their new situation and found it difficult to come to terms with his blindness, both practically and emotionally. At a time when most teenagers would be gaining independence and growing in confidence, Jay was suddenly forced to adjust to a future without sight. He had to re-learn how to do even the most basic of tasks, and with his self -belief shattered, he faced a big challenge when it came to coping at school.
"It was really, really hard," says Heather. "I got upset even thinking about it, so I didn't talk about it, and because Jay didn't want to upset me, he had no one to talk to either."
For Jay and Heather, RSBC's tailored support was exactly what they needed. After a quick referral from Jay's school, who had noticed the profound change in his behaviour, West Midlands Family Worker Mandie Wright stepped in to help.
Getting family support
Mandie is part of a core team of experts at the charity who offer practical and emotional support at every stage of a family's sight loss journey, from the earliest stages of diagnosis to early adulthood. Through one-to-one support, the team of Family Workers helps both the child and their family to understand their condition, adapt to its challenges, and build the confidence necessary for a happy and fulfilled life.
Mandie says, "I first met Jay in early 2018 at his school. Gradually, over the next few weeks, we got to know each other through a series of home visits. These visits also gave me an opportunity to sit down with Heather, and to really listen to the concerns and difficulties she had. It was the first time that anyone had been able to give her that time, so for her to feel like someone was 'on her side' was very important to her.
"Mandie actually took the time to explain what things we needed to do, and then helped us get them done," says Heather.
Mandie adds, "We soon settled into a routine of meeting once a week during school hours, in a one-to-one session. Because these conversations are strictly confidential, I can act as a confidante for Jay - he can tell me things that he might not be comfortable telling his teachers or even his mum.."
"Part of my work with a young person like Jay is about confidence-building, so when he has a problem or an issue, rather than fixing it for him, I help him work out solutions for himself. He won't always have me sitting on his shoulder telling him what to do, so he needs to be able to work out how to overcome his own challenges."
Ultimately, our aim is to get a child and their family to the point where they don't need us anymore. We will continue to offer support, if the family needs it, until the child is 25 years old, but before that point we gradually reduce the level of intervention to allow them to become self-reliant.
In the few short months that I've been working with Jay, the change in his outlook and his confidence has been remarkable. He has learned how to use several different kinds of assistive technology, as well as learning to read and write Braille (he's even writing a Braille book for VI kids, complete with raised illustrations).
Jay says, "I miss playing games on my X-box, but I can still use my laptop and my phone," he says. "I'm not sure what I want to do when I leave school, maybe something with computers."
Heather says, there's no reason why Jay's horizons need to be any less ambitious than those of his sighted friends.
"I've always told him that he can do anything anyone else can, and that he doesn't need to let his sight loss stop him doing things," she says. "But these days I think he actually believes it "
RSBC Family Support Worker
Mandie Wright is a Family Engagement Worker with the Family Support Service at the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC). The RSBC Family Support Service operates across England and Wales, and is available to blind and partially sighted children and young people from birth to 25.

New GLO Hair Reviews – Everyone wants to be attractive and beautiful in this world. At present, people have to deal with many hair problems. Their hair continues to fall and this causes baldness. Men and women face this problem in the present age. Due to hair loss, their hair becomes thin and their bald spots on the scalp appear ugly. Hair problems include split limbs, dandruff, soft hair, bald spots on the scalp and abnormal hair loss. These problems can occur because of age, hormonal problems, and various environmental or medical conditions.
There are different types of products available in the market to solve hair problems, but these products contain harmful chemicals to the skin and cause many problems. To solve this problem, we introduce a new product with natural ingredients and no side effects. If you are concerned about the end of the split and many other problems, do not worry, because dermatologists have found the solution to this serious problem. New GLO Hair is the best way to solve these problems. It is a contagious supplement of natural ingredients.
An Overview on New GLO Hair Supplement:
New GLO Hair is a natural supplement that helps to reduce the full hair level and gives you longer hair, more intense and beautiful. It contains silica and collagen that helps you to promote a smooth complexion. It helps to resolve hair problems that contain separate ends, dandruff, soft hair, baldness spots on the scalp and abnormal hair loss. Other products show their results temporarily on the surface and when you give up using these products, hair problems start again.
New GLO Hair works reliably on roots and solves hair problems. It gives you a permanent hair solution. It is specially designed for people who have to deal with many problems in their daily lives because of hair problems. It provides you with healthy, healthy, long and soft hair. This helps restore the original hair. With it, you'll see results in a few days.
How Does New GLO Hair Formula Work?
New GLO Hair performs its function impressively. It helps to nourish hair roots and provides you with a permanent solution to hair loss problems. New GLO Hair performs its function in four steps. The stages of hair growth are as follows:
- Step 1 – Anagen (Growth Stage)
- Step 2 – Category (Renewal Phase)
- Step 3 – Telogen (resting phase)
- Phase 4 – External (excretory stage)
Step 1 – Anagen (Growth Stage)
This is the first step to hair growth. At the growth stage, the hair cells divide rapidly. Anagen nourishes hair follicles and scalp. It provides good hair growth.
Step 2 – Category (Renewal Phase)
At this stage, the hair is protected from damage and the ends of the division. Categen strengthens hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
Step 3 – Telogen (resting phase)
Telogen is the third step that helps to activate dormant hair follicles. It increases the growth rate of hair that slowed down.
Phase 4 – External (excretory stage)
This is the last step of the hair cycle. This makes your hair healthier and increases its density.
- New GLO Hair has many features as follows:
- It protects against hair loss and provides you with healthy and nutritious hair.
- New GLO Hair contains herbal ingredients that have no side effects.
- This also helps to solve the split problem.
- It nourishes your scalp, which helps improve the texture of your hair.
- Brings brilliance to your dull hair because of hair problems.
- New GLO Hair Activates and revitalizes dormant hair follicles.
- It controls baldness and gives your hair high-density health.
The Ingredients Added in New GLO Hair Regrowth Formula:
New GLO Hair consists of herbal ingredients that help reduce hair problems. All ingredients play a vital role in nutrition and hair growth. The components listed in the New GLO Hair formulation are:
- Biotin
- Vitamin C and A
- Beta carotene
- Iron
- Amino acid
- Silica
- Folic acid
- Biotin – It is an essential element that plays an important role in hair growth. It helps restore the elasticity of hair follicles. It protects the hair from the ends of the split and drying by increasing the water level. It protects against breakage and hair damage.
- Vitamin C and A – Vitamins A and C help maintain the condition of the scalp. Vitamin C is an antioxidant found in citrus fruits. This helps to increase the level of collagen. Vitamins A and C help you to provide more intense, healthier and stronger hair.
- Beta carotene – Beta-carotene is also an antioxidant-rich ingredient. It is also used to treat hair. It protects the hair from the crust.
- Iron – For good hair growth, iron is a useful ingredient. When the irons provide lower hair follicles, the hair begins to fall. Iron is an essential element to maintain blood circulation in the scalp.
- Amino acid – Amino acids help to increase hair growth by producing keratin. It also protects hair problems.
- Silica – It is one of the most important micronutrients that help balance hormones in the body. As age progresses, the amount of silica begins to diminish in our bodies and become the cause of hair problems. In this way, silica helps restore healthy hair.
- Folic acid – Folic acid is a crucial ingredient that helps increase the rate of hair cell division and provides you with natural growth. Folic acid also contains vitamin B, also called vitamin B-9. Folic acid controls the aging of early hair. This is not only beneficial for hair growth, but also for the whole bodywork.
How Do You Use This Product?
New GLO Hair Easy to use. Take two capsules with lukewarm water daily to get a better result. In the morning, take one capsule in the evening. Each bottle contains 60 capsules. Use this natural supplement continuously for at least 3 months. If problems occur, contact your dermatologist.

Here are some lessons I've learned about online learning communities that are developed in support of training and education:
- A loose-knit online learning community can scale to many participants and remain effective.
- Only a small percentage, ~ 10%, of members, will be active.
- If facilitators can seed good topics and provide feedback, then conversations can flourish.
- If you use a very gentle hand in controlling members/learners, some will become highly participative.
- Design for after the formal course, using tools like social bookmarks, so that artifacts can be used for reference or performance support.
- Create the role of "synthesizer" (could be the community manager or someone else) from the onset, who will summarize the previous week's activities.
- Keep the structure loose enough so that it can grow or change according to the needs of the community.

As children, David Wilson and brother Tony loved the excitement of the brand new cars in their grandfather's South London showroom. Both followed their father into the family firm on leaving school. David started work on the shop floor, selling the day's leading brands, Austin, Morris, MG, Lotus and Triumph, to name but a few.
Their father, Leslie, had already invested in the leisure boom of the late 1950s. Over the next few years the family firm – Wilson's became one of the top UK suppliers of motor caravans, with branches in Castle Donington, Bradford, Epsom and Brixton. Wilson's hosted the caravan exhibition at Woburn Abbey in 1969.
The information highway opens
Armed with this broad experience David set out on his own, establishing his own business – David Wilson's Trailers.
By 1984, David recognised a new strand developing in the trailer market – the use of units to take information out to the people.
DWT was tasked with helping to spread the word on the proposed Channel Tunnel, using an exhibition trailer to show train routes and development schedules throughout the Kent villages.
A similar exercise followed a few months later, when BP took over the operation of oilfields in Dorset. A year-long roadshow was operated by DWT on the international company's behalf, taking information to local people.
Pip Wilson joined her father in the late 80's and together they are proud of the reputation so hard won for providing Personal Service to each and every one clients.
As the exhibition business developed, DWT, which had grown up in East Sussex, needed a location which was more cost-effective for clients. This would allow its specialised crews to deliver and set up exhibition trailers for clients in a single day.
In 2005 a new operating centre was launched just off the A1 near Grantham. The 125-mile driving radius – which allows the DWT crew time to set up on arrival – now covers the entire East of England, extends south to Essex and encompassing Greater London, to Bristol, Bath and the Welsh borders in the west, and to Manchester and Yorkshire in the north.
Now in their fourth decade or 'the Prime of Life' DWT Exhibitions are pleased to be able to offer clients an increased range of products and services including outdoor event structures for hire and indoor exhibition stands designed and deployed with the professional attention to detail and timing their clients have learnt to expect.
A significant contribution to the success of the roadshow

Mutta goes through the second interview, only later kicks himself for his ridiculous answer to a particular question.
;w; Things are finally starting to look brighter for Mutta. His only worry right now is how his interview turned out since he is kicking himself for giving a stupid answer. Unfortunately it doesn't look like he has much favour from the staff as they are more interested with his rival, Yamato.
It is great that he was able to meet some great people, (Serika and Kenji in particular). It was very kind of Kenji to write up everyone's numbers for Mutta since he had lost his cellphone in the toilet.
I am really enjoying the steady and slow development between Serika and Mutta. We know that Mutta has a crush on her, and she… well… can't help but see her dad in him, so I imagine this is going to be a tough one. I do hope, though the chances are pretty slim- that Mutta before this show ends (assuming we're not going to get a second second ;^;) confess to her or something.
Overall it really feels like things are developing very quickly. So fast, that I actually forgot this is only episode four out of (what is said to have) seventeen. I suppose it's a good thing, the pacing isn't too bad and they aren't wasting time on unnecessary things, including opportunities to insert some more gags. But that isn't a bad thing, as I like the serious mood to thing while still being light-hearted and humorous.
Next week we'll be seeing Hibito since he had invited Mutta to come visit NASA and stuff. I imagine things might get a bit complicated- be it jealousy or conflicted feelings. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

The Odds of Online Dating Success and the 1% Rule
Many years ago, I decided to quantify why finding the right person is so difficult, and why we must think about online dating success in terms of a numbers game. Just like in sales, if you want to get more conversions (i.e., dates, a fulfilling relationship, etc.), you have to increase the number of sales in order to generate more leads. For simplicity's sake and from here on out, I will write from the perspective of a man, although the information can equally apply to a woman.
Sample Calculation:
You Send an Introductory Message (100 of 100 women):
You sign up for a dating site.
You find 100 interesting women you might want to meet.
You send each woman a personalized message (no canned messages … I'll talk about what to say in your first message in a later step).
Your entire pool is currently 100 out of the original 100 women you sent messages to.
Online Dating Success. You Send a Second Message after Receiving a Reply to Your First Message (10 of 100 women): In my experience, you can expect anywhere from a 1 to 10 percent response rate to your introductory message depending on how good your profile is. For the purposes of this calculation, let's be generous and assume that after a week or so has gone by, you receive 10 responses from the pool of 100 women to whom you sent an original message.
Online Dating Success
These 10 are now your entire pool. You Send a Third Message Asking for the Telephone Number (5 of 100 women):
In the third message, you ask for the woman's telephone number. In my experience, you can expect half of the recipients of your second message to respond. After all, they replied to your first message, so the odds that they liked what they saw when they looked at your photo and profile are higher.
Online Dating Success. Let's assume that half of the message recipients give you their phone number. Your entire pool is now down to five out of the original 100 women to whom you sent messages. The First Date and Beyond (1 of 100 women): I'm going to now assume that, of the five women from whom you got telephone numbers, you get to go on dates with four of them. There is always the woman who, for whatever reason, decides not to pick up the phone when you call or return your phone call.
During the first date, there are only four things that can now occur. Let's assume that each event has a 25 percent probability:
She likes you, and you like her. (positive = 1)
She doesn't like you, but you like her. (negative = 0)
She likes you, but you don't like her. (negative = 0)
She doesn't like you, and you don't like her. (negative = 0)
Online Dating Success
Therefore, out of the four first dates you got, only one can be deemed "positive." This positive prospect results in a second date and other dates in the future. Online dating success is now yours, and your final pool is now one out of the original 100 women to whom you sent messages. So you see, in order to get just one favorable dating option, you should send an introductory message to at least 100 women online. If you want to have five favorable dating options, you should send an introductory message to at least 500 women online. I once sent introductory messages to 1,000 women (over a three-month period) and ended up with 12 good first-date prospects. If all of this message-sending sounds like it would be a boat load of work, that is because it is. Online dating (online dating success) is not easy, but you can tilt the odds of success in your favor by following the strategy that I will present in a future step and by resolving to contact as many favorable prospects as possible until you succeed. Online Dating Success. Patient persistence and a willingness to accept lots of rejection are the two most powerful predictors of online dating success. You cannot take rejection personally, and you must realize that getting rejected is an inevitable stepping stone on the pathway of success. Those who find love online are most often people who took risks and had a willingness to face lots of "failure" in order to meet the right person. In the words of the famous Scottish novelist and poet Robert Lewis Stevenson, "don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant."
Online Dating Success
How to Choose the Right Dating Site.
Online Dating Success
It goes without saying that you need to choose a dating site that fits what you are looking for. If you want to date a Brazilian woman, sign up for one or two of the most popular Brazilian dating sites. If you want to date Christians, sign up for one or two of the most popular Christian dating sites. Section 3 is devoted to reviews of the top online dating sites in 60+ countries around the world.
A Useful Tip – How to Set Up a Killer Online Dating Profile. Online Dating Success.
What to Write:
After you choose the right dating site, you then need to create an attractive profile. The two most important questions you first need to ask yourself are the following:
How am I unique?
What type of woman do I want to attract?"
Online Dating Success. These two questions will dictate what you will write in your profile and the types of photos you will include. For question 1, you need to think about your competitive advantage and the particular edge you want to give your profile in order to set yourself apart from the mostly boring, cookie-cutter profiles out there. What do you have or do that is unique? This piece of your personality needs to come out in your profile and, most importantly, in your photos (as people tend to focus on photos way more than written text).
Online Dating Success
For example, I am adventurous, so, in the "About Me" section of my profile, I write about my love for travel and my unique sense of adventure. I support my writing with pictures of me skiing in the Alps of Switzerland, atop the Acropolis in Athens, scuba diving in the turquoise waters of Mauritius, hiking in Brazil, and sandboarding down giant sand dunes in Namibia.
Question 2 is related to question 1. What type of woman or man are you trying to attract into your life? My profile is tailored for adventurous women who also have a passion for travel. But, if you are a music fan, let that come through in your profile. Any interest can be replaced by my travel example. All this information is very useful if you want to achieve online dating success.
Online Dating Success. The following is what my typical online dating profile looks like. Notice how my adventurous nature comes through as well as my honesty and transparency about my life experiences. (Note: There is a fine line between being transparent and being too transparent, so try to find that happy medium.)
ABOUT ME: I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. I'm an avid traveler who wants to visit every country in the world. I have seen 51 so far, so I still have many more countries to go. I enjoy skiing and scuba diving. Anywhere there is an ocean, you can find me in the water, and, anytime there is snow, you can find me on a mountain.
Online Dating Success
Online Dating Success. I want people who meet me to think: "He is a cool guy." It is not about attention for me. It is about the importance of honor and respect for the people around me. I understand that there is a time to give and a time to be loving and understanding. I do not run from adversity, and I enjoy overcoming challenges in order to achieve my goals. GOALS: Professionally, I run a large website that seeks to destroy the barriers that prevent the free flow of human beings from one country to another. Personally, I want to find a woman to love and share in the beauty that is life. I also want to continue to help the people around me to achieve their goals. UNIQUE EXPERIENCES: The obstacles that I have had to overcome in my life, such as my parents getting divorced when I was 11 years old, have strengthened me. My father, mother, and the rest of my family are supportive and influential in my life. I try to visit them as often as possible. What Kind of Photos to Include: As a first step, if you are a man, search to see what other men look like on the site. You will often notice a recurring theme. I know in Brazil, if you choose a site like Brazil Cupid, a lot of the guys have informal beach-type pictures, often showing their bare chest. You can set yourself apart from the pack by putting on a suit. Follow these tips and you will achieve online dating success.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An NBC Charlotte Defenders investigation is looking into school safety after a disturbing case involving guns.
Police sources told us two people were seen posing with guns at what appears to be a local school. NBC Charlotte has also learned the picture was found on a cell phone.
According to the police report, the device was found last month at McClintock Middle School. It comes within weeks of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools' new security procedures, which includes used metal-detecting wands on students and bag searches.
Sources told NBC Charlotte the photo was taken at a school, but CMS did not confirm that information.
However, it's clearly an issue on everyone's mind.
CMS took major new security steps after a Butler High School student was shot and killed inside the school last year. After winter break, the district began screenings and searches.
"They stood up in the boy-girl lines, they allowed us to look deep into their backpacks, and they were wanded on the side of their bodies," CMS Superintendent Dr. Clayton Wilcox said previously.
Teachers and staff have been going through active shooter survival training.
"We have dozens of schools that have already participated and we have dozens more lined up by the end of the year," a CMS spokesman previously said.
In the latest case, sources said it's not exactly clear when the photo was taken. CMS said they cannot release any information about the people involved because of federal laws that protect student privacy.
No one has been charged.

…takes delivery of 50 operation vehicles
Owing to the ban on the manufacturing of codeine, other hard drugs and the tendency of smuggling prohibited substances into the country through boarders, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has further strengthened its border checks and security for codeine.
Its Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Joseph Attah revealed this to The Nation in his Abuja office Thursday.
He added that in its bid to enforce the illicit drug ban and border patrol, the service has just taken delivery of 50 operation vehicles that were being painted for operation.
The Customs spokesman said that "We know that each time there is a policy of government that restricts or prohibits the importation of any item, the tendency is for unpatriotic elements to circumvent it by engaging in its smuggling.
Read Also:Customs arrest four suspected smugglers, intercept N53m contraband
"Like any other prohibited item, we will be on the watch out for it (codeine). We will seize them. You are aware that we have been seizing illicit drugs like tramadol and some drugs without NAFDAC approval and all that.
"We will continue to do what we do and ensure that any of such prohibited drugs, not only codeine, any other prohibited items, is not allowed to get into the country."
Attah said for any prohibited item not to slip into Nigeria now that local manufacturers have stopped production of codeine, the NCS would receive more patrol vehicles this year.
According to him, "already we have taken delivery of 50 Hilux patrol vehicles and we are expecting more. The idea is to beef up our logistic in such a way that we are very mobile and very swift in arriving the scene of a crime. So, with the acquisition of more vehicles and the deployment of intelligence operatives, we expect that we will be able to step up our boarder policing this year."

The Crossroads Regional Chamber of Commerce's "Best of Northwest" Business Expo was a huge success once again this year. The theme was "Swing for Success" and businesses were able to show their team pride while they mingled and met at the Patrician Banquet Center.
The Expo is a great way for businesses to reach out to the community while also getting to know each other. The Swing for Success event featured food trucks, a wine sampling, a $1000+ raffle, and was open to the public from 3:00pm - 6:00pm.
Check out our Facebook Gallery and be sure to tag yourself and your business!
"It's an opportunity for our members to showcase their services," explained President and CEO of the Crossroads Chamber Sue Reed. "We want to give them a way to connect to consumers and show their services to people who wouldn't have known about them otherwise."
The business community was not alone in the expo, as nonprofits also showcased their products and services and connect with attendees with Jacob's Ladder explained the importance of events like the Expo for her.
"We're wanting to spread our mission and educate the community about the needs of the children we serve," said Candace Arvin, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Jacob's Ladder Pediatric Rehab Center. "We want to show them what's available to them. We're also looking for individuals and businesses whose philanthropic values align with ours so we can serve more children in need, and we're also looking for volunteers. Volunteers are the heart blood of our organization."
For businesses, Crossroads Chamber events like these help get the word out about new products and upgraded services, and of course put a face to the names of their companies.
Casey Huber, Marketing and Sales Department at NITCO, was looking forward to meeting people on behalf of NITCO. "We've been to this event quite a few times, and we're always trying to expand. We're here to network and see what kind of opportunities the expo brings us."
"We're pushing the IT division today," Rich Shields, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Chester Inc said. "We've been a member of the Crossroads Chamber for 22 years because we're always looking to grow in Northwest Indiana."
For the first time, this year's Best of Northwest also featured a small food truck festival outside of the Patrician Banquet Center. Consumers and business owners alike enjoyed ice cream, tacos, icees, and much more.

Snags and cutlets are great barbecue staples but if you're after something a little different then these salmon kebabs with a creamy yoghurt based sauce is a definite winner.
750 g boneless skinless salmon fillets, cut into 3cm cubes
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
Cracked black pepper, to taste
8 metal skewers
4 small zucchini
lemon wedges, to serve
fresh dill sprigs, to garnish
Dill Sauce
200 g tub Greek-style natural yoghurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
1 Combine salmon, chilli and half the oil in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Toss to coat. Thread four pieces of salmon onto each skewer. Set aside.
2 To make dill sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well.
3 Using a mandolin, slice zucchini lengthways into long ribbons, about 3mm thick. Toss in remaining oil in a medium bowl.
4 Heat a large, lightly oiled grill plate over a medium to high heat. Add zucchini in three batches. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until just tender. Remove. Cover to keep warm.
5 Add kebabs to same hot grill plate. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, or until cooked to your liking.
6 Serve kebabs with zucchini and lemon wedges. Drizzle with dill sauce. Garnish with dill sprigs.

Just about every other index has reached an important harmonic and/or chart pattern target. Given the NFP print, this could be the day SPX finally reaches 1553-1555. Best to be long on the opening, and ready to re-short fairly quickly.
The dollar isn't waiting, surging nearly 1% on the day and resolving the question as to which channel to watch.
DX is very near a tag of the red .786 (83.064) and the purple 1.618 (83.179). But, more importantly, it is coming up to the intersection of the midlines of two important channels.
Look for heavy resistance at these levels — until the equity sell-off begins in earnest.
Likewise, the EURUSD is off over 1% and approaching the white .786/yellow .500 — also the scene of an important channel line.
Will the currencies react first to the equity strength, or are they positioning ahead of what they know will be an equity pop and drop? As the grown-ups in the room, I believe currencies are doing the latter.
Our premise called for a back test of the channel line or TL off the July 2011 & Sep 2012 highs, but the market is eager to go ahead and get there. Who am I to stand in the way?
Got to 1551.65, only 1.74 away from the white 1.618 – which is close enough for me. I have nothing against staying in until the actual tag; just watch your stops in the event it turns quickly.
I'll pick it back up if we get a second push through 1551, as it would not be unusual to see a bit of an overshoot — somewhere between 1553 and 1560. Likewise, a drop through the yellow TL down around 1535.50 probably signals "game over."
Remember, this completes a Crab Pattern from the 2011 crash from 1370 to 1074. Are we guaranteed a big sell-off here? Of course not. But, odds are it will be substantial.
If SPX is going to bounce higher, it should do so by 1543 — the 1.272 Fib on the small white harmonic grid and the bottom of the tiny channel SPX hung out in for the past several days. For anyone who missed the last six points because of the gap open, this is your second chance.
SPX getting the bounce here at 1543… will take another crack at 1553-1560.
In the meantime, let's take a look at how we got here. If you had asked me at the end of 2011 which upside scenario looked most likely, I would have suggested the Crab Pattern that started at 1370 in May 2011 and put in a bottom at 1074 in October (in white, below.)
There were three potential Point X's in a row: 1370.58 on May 2 (in white above), 1347 on July 21 (in red) and 1356.48 on Jul 7 (not shown.) And, 1370.58, the high following the 1576 to 666 sell off from 2007 to 2009, was the most prominent.
My reservation was that it reversed at the .707 Fib level rather than the more common .618, .786 or .886. The .707 is the red-headed stepchild of the Fibonacci ratios. It's the square root of .500, which itself doesn't get much respect as a Fib ratio. Geeks and wannabe's CLICK HERE for details…
When SPX finally pushed above 1370 in March 2012 and started approaching the 1.272 Fib levels between 1422 and 1451, we had to choose from among the three possibilities for a Butterfly Pattern completion [see: All the Pretty Butterflies.]
I went with the red pattern because of its more precise tag on the .786 and was rewarded with 20%+ gains from a perfectly-timed short. And, I assumed the red pattern would continue to drive future harmonic swings.
As we approached the red 1.618 at 1515.24, I noted that it intersected with the purple 1.618 (1518.57) and the yellow 1.272 (1510.19) — not to mention the yellow trend line running very precisely through the July 2011, April 2012 and Sept 2012 highs. To me, this was a very solid conclusion based on very reliable patterns.
We got the sell-off. In fact, we got three sell-offs, one from each of those Fib levels. On the final tag at 1518.57, we got a little overshoot to 1530 (a smaller harmonic pattern completion) before beginning a correction all the way to…1485. Yep, not even a lousy 3%.
In harmonics, it's not usually the tops that bother me, it's the 2nd waves. The rebound from 1485 went to 1525 (a healthy .886 retracement) and even sold off nicely — before zipping back up to complete an IH&S, take out the 1530 high and…well, here we are.
Harmonics are great. They offer concrete turning points at which the market usually reverses. If it doesn't, you've either picked the wrong Point X (1347 instead of 1370) or the wrong pattern. In other words, there's a solid decision matrix; you know when it's time to go to Plan B.
Fundamental analysis isn't anywhere near as precise — especially in the short to medium term. And, as we've seen this past year, there's plenty of money to be made by going long at bottoms and short at tops. You just have to be prepared to switch gears when your assumption — no matter how well thought out — turns out to be wrong.
If SPX exceeds the Fibs at 1553/1555 and/or the IH&S target at 1465, there's not much more in the way of targets other than the previous high of 1576 (October 2007.) Many other indices have made new highs, so maybe TPTB will feel it necessary for SPX to do so as well.
more later…
The bounce off 1543 still going strong. 15-min RSI just broke out of a falling channel from this morning's rally. A move back to the white RSI channel midline might permit 1553/1555 or slightly higher.
