The internet dating industry is constantly evolving to match the needs of it's users. Today internet dating is one of the most popular things that people do on the internet. More and more people are turning to internet dating to find a meaningful relationship. If you play sports and you're seeking an activity partner you can do that on an internet dating service.
If you are looking for someone for a serious relationship, or you are looking for a pen pal who lives in a different country, you can accomplish this on a dating service. These dating services are great because they give you the opportunity to community with people who you may never meet in the real world. In the internet dating industry there are 2 types of services there are the free services and the paid services.
Based on my own experience I would advise you to avoid using the free services because many of these services are popular for harvesting spammers. Joining one of the paid services is much better, it will cost you some money to upgrade your membership but it's worth the price. The paid services will give you more control, more features and much less spammers. Here are some tips you can follow if you are just getting started with internet dating.
First you need to find an internet dating service that you have confidence in, some dating services will provide video training as well as a FAQ section. You should take full advantage of this and use it to your benefit. Then you will need a decent profile, if you're not sure what to say in your profile you should read some profiles from other members on the site. Try to find some good profiles, then you should implement some things from those profiles into yours.
You will need a good picture, for your profile the importance of having a good picture is sometimes overlooked by many members on dating services. If you don't have a good picture you should get one taken. It is important that you do not rush this process, all to often people do not take their time when creating a profile. Having a bad picture or having typos in your profile can have a negative effect on you, this can be a huge turn off to other members. It's best to take your time when creating your personal profile on an internet dating service.

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments has received a brand new Gamescom teaser trailer, as well as some additional new screenshots. Each of them show the make-over that the title has had over the past couple of weeks.
The last entry in the series “The Testament of Sherlock Holmes” was a huge success, but that didn’t stop Frogwares from changing the famous detectives game engine to Unreal Engine 3. The 1960′s film-inspired version has also been revamped, to give sherlock a more modern day feel and vibe.
The title is make up of eight different cases for Holmes to solve, which include disappearances, murders and common thefts. There’s also 12 possible endings for players to incur as well. These all have extreme consequences to every decision that you make throughout playing the game, so you’ve got to be careful and be a deep thinker whilst choosing your path.
The crime solving title will be heading your way by the end of the year on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC. Now here’s those screens and trailer that we promised you, enjoy!

Commercial roofing is an expensive investment. As such, it deserves your care and attention. Unfortunately, many building owners find repairs and ongoing maintenance to be a hassle. They forego proper care. However, the faster you catch a problem, the less expensive the repair process. Over time, even the most stalwart of commercial roofs may develop issues. In fact, a replacement may be needed if you don’t act fast.
Standing water is a frequent problem – typically caused by clogged or blocked drains. Often, standing water is due to poor roof design or installation, though. Allowing water to remain may cause extensive leaks, which can be costly if not taken care of. Before repairs commence, it’s important to find the source of the water. Sometimes it’s as simple as locating a blocked drain.
New roofing penetrations compromise the sanctity of commercial roofing systems. Unless you take proper action, these penetrations or punctures can lead to considerable damage and increased costs. For single-ply or spray polyurethane foam roofing systems, damage from foot traffic is often the primary cause. A penetration often leads to underlying harm, leaks, and reduced efficiency.
When a commercial roof is improperly installed, roof blow-off is a genuine possibility. Blow-offs mainly occur during severe storms and high winds. All it takes is one corner or chunk of the membrane to lift upwards, and the wind is trapped underneath. Uplift and blow-off damage is considered severe, leading to water damage, ruptured membranes, and underlying issues.
It’s important to inspect your roof after every major storm, just to be safe. If you’re uncomfortable doing so, call a professional roofing company to handle the task.
For commercial roofing services, contact Peak Roofing & Construction by calling (972) 335-7325 (Dallas/Ft. Worth) or 281-290-7325 (Houston). In fact, give us a call today to secure your commercial roof with professional repairs.

Stubborn disease of citrus, caused by Spiroplasma citri, is an important disease of citrus in the hot, arid inland areas of California and Arizona. The two methods most commonly used for detection of stubborn have been biological indexing and culture in a cell-free medium. Indexing for stubborn disease of citrus is difficult since it requires the somewhat tricky side-graft or leaf vein method, and it takes several months to obtain results. Culturing is also somewhat time consuming, sometimes requires several attempts, and can produce false positives from contamination. Culturing is the test of record for CDFA and most regulatory agencies.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven to be a valuable medical diagnostic tool for investigating damage in humans. This tool is useful in medicine since it provides information on “soft tissues” in the body such as muscles and tendons. Our project was focused on developing magnetic resonance for use in detecting damage to “soft tissues” in oranges.
The goal of this research was to reduce economic losses to the lemon industry due to postharvest decay and to increase postharvest quality and storage life of lemons using the inexpensive naturally-occurring compounds spermidine, spermine and salicylic acid applied as a dip or drench after washing or in the storage wax. If successful, the research would identify a less-expensive material that is as effective or more effective than GA3 combined with 2,4-D.
The goal of the robot harvester project’s second phase, FY2004-2005, was to begin to validate Vision Robotics’ concept for mapping orange trees using the scout robot. The scout will map the grove determining the tree locations, the number and size of the oranges and their approximate positions on each tree. Once a tree and its oranges are mapped, the scout will determine a picking-plan for that tree, which it will transmit to a harvester robot.
During the second year of this project, we continued the work initiated last year. This project uses the sensory panel volunteers at the UC Kearney Ag Center to evaluate early season navel oranges with the intent to develop a database of the relationship between SSC/TA ratio, volatiles, and acceptability of navel orange fruit. Additionally, during this year we explored the relationship between fruit handling practices, waxes and fruit acceptability following storage.
This research investigates the efficacy of ozone combined with carbon dioxide and vacuum to control bean thrips in navel oranges. A focus of this work in 2004-2005 was effects of wax type and cultivar to mitigate phytotoxic damage.
The goal of this project is to develop and test a field method for using an ethanol sensor to measure whether a sample of oranges contains a threshold level of freeze-damaged fruit. The citrus industry is seeking an objective alternative to the manual inspection method used by CDFA inspectors to determine freeze damage in navel oranges.
The purpose of this project is to develop new methods to control postharvest decay of citrus for use in California packinghouses. Practical experiments with the newly approved postharvest fungicide pyrimethanil (PYR) were completed in 2005. PYR has recently been approved for use in California to control green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum, though acceptance of its residues in some overseas markets is still in progress.
In the summer of 2005, fludioxonil and pyrimethanil were registered in California following the federal registration in the fall of 2004 for postharvest use on citrus. The postharvest registration of azoxystrobin is still pending but is expected in the summer of 2006. In Sept. 2005, we successfully placed propiconazole into the federal IR-4 program to establish a residue tolerance for postharvest use, and these studies are planned for 2006.
Vision Robotics (VRC) has demonstrated that it is possible to see all the oranges (>99%) on trees in production groves from somewhere outside the tree canopy. In practice, this requires a thorough scan of the tree canopy, and the closer to the canopy and wider the viewing angle the better.

My daughter loves to do crafts, and we figured what better way to break-in the new craft table in her playroom than to do a fun Easter craft together! I was inspired by this post that Kelly (not me) posted over on The Pretty Bee. Kelly and her son made some cute Easter egg decorations with strips she cut out of scrapbook paper with her paper cutter. I don’t know the age of her son, but my daughter loves to cut paper, and it’s a good readiness skill for Kindergarten, so I just handed her a stack of pastel office and scrapbook paper and let her go to town cutting the paper into strips.
I printed out an Easter Egg template that I had from last year on to white card stock, and I cut out the center. Then we glued the strips on to the back of the template. On The Pretty Bee, Kelly glued the strips to a plain piece of cardstock and then put the template over it at the end, but I somehow missed that detail. I wish we would have done it that way that way though, because I think the strips would have stayed down a little better. She also glued them horizontally, but my little artist wanted them to be vertical stripes, so that’s how we did it.
The one fun part about doing it upside down though is that we could only peek and see how it was coming along. When we were all finished, Andrea flipped the paper over and gasped and said it was “sooo beautiful”! It was priceless. I love how excited she gets about her crafts and artwork. I’m not very artistic myself, so I wasn’t sure what I’d think of the crooked cuts on her strips of paper, but I actually think the imperfections from having her cut it on her own really make it unique.
To give it a little more structure, I then glued a solid piece of cardstock to the back of it. That’s when I realized I should have done it differently in the first place, but oh well.
Here’s the final product (before I trimmed the excess paper off).
All in all, it was a very fun and successful afternoon/evening of crafting I thought.
Andrea can’t wait to do another Easter craft on her new table, so I’m sure we’ll be doing more over the next few days.
We moved last August and since the move, I’ve never taken the time to get my combined office and craft really functional. It had too much furniture in it, and needed more shelving. Last Friday, I had enough and started changing it all up. I was going to post about the progress I’ve made in that room, but instead decided to focus this post on the first thing I changed, which actually involved a table that I moved OUT of the room. Moving the table out and freeing up that corner of my office was the first step and it made a huge impact in my room. And I was so excited about how it turned out that it motivated me to keep working on the rest of my office.
In our old house, we had a pretty generic kitchen table with the natural wood top and white painted legs (similar to this). I bought the table shortly after graduating from college for cheap at a discount furniture store, but it worked, and it actually looked pretty nice in our last two houses. But the new kitchen has darker wood floors and cream colored wood trim, so the table was just NOT going to work anymore as our kitchen table. So I had the movers put it in my office/craft room, thinking I could work on craft projects with my daughter there. But that never happened, as she preferred to work in her playroom. So the table just took up a lot of space in my office and junk got piled on it. I also realized Andrea was outgrowing her little kiddie table that Santa brought when she was just 2. Brainstorm! I realized I could cut the legs down and move it into her playroom. It’s got a lot more real estate than her kiddie table, which is never big enough for her sprawling arts and crafts projects these days. The only problem was that I didn’t like the idea that if I cut all the legs, I couldn’t easily put it back to its original state again. So I went to Home Depot and looked for replacement table legs, but they were pricey and would have cost over $60, which was more than I wanted to spend. But then I found some primed square balusters for only $9 and they were long enough (42″) that I could buy two and cut them in half to make shorter legs for the table. So I brought them home, pulled out the circular saw and cut them in half. Then I took the legs off the old table, lined up the new legs, marked and drilled holes in them, and then screwed them in to the table similar to how the original legs attached.
My daughter LOVES it. She has so much space for her projects now and there’s room for her bins of markers, and crayons, and colored pencils to be on the table with her while she works. The table is also a little bit taller than her previous table, so she won’t outgrow it anytime soon, and it’s a little easier for me to sit with her so we can do projects together. Success!!!
The office/craft room is coming along quite nicely, but I will have to post about that later this week.

Dean 'Rocket' Hall is waiting until the dust settles before talking about DayZ updates.
The War Z's implosion inspired a lot of chatter, little of which Dean 'Rocket' Hall, creator of zombie Arma 2 mod DayZ, has been able to avoid. In a Reddit thread titled 'in light of the recent events surrounding The War Z, I think it's more important now that Rocket and his team take their time with the standalone', Hall stepped in with a quick statement about how things were going, and what he was up to.
Saying he was depressed about the situation, Hall announced that there would be no updates about DayZ's progress until after everything had gone back to normal. Health issues and personal worries meant that, for his own wellbeing, Rocket ought to keep things quiet for a while.
I know I have been very quiet lately. So this will be really all I'll say for the moment.
I've been pretty depressed about the whole situation. From a personal standpoint, this whole "saga" of the development made me seriously question if I wanted to be involved in the industry and I gave serious thought to cutting my losses and not being involved in the project.
At my Army Discharge medical this week, they noted I now have high blood pressure. Some things in life just aren't worth worrying about.
I've been getting hammered by a massive amount with requests for information about DayZ release, interviews and my reactions to this and stuff and such - but for my own sanity I retreated and have kept to myself. Right now I'm just at home doing bits and pieces on the DayZ development. The rest of the DayZ team is doing the same.
I realize that I went back on my word about releasing an update, but went back into my shell for a bit last week, and I'll come out when the dust is all settled.
The DayZ standalone had originally been scheduled for launch by end of 2012, but recently Hall said that the date may slip to 2013.

dean 'rocket' hall is waiting until the dust settles before talking about dayz updates.
the war z's implosion inspired a lot of chatter, little of which dean 'rocket' hall, creator of zombie arma 2 mod dayz, has been able to avoid. in a reddit thread titled 'in light of the recent events surrounding the war z, i think it's more important now that rocket and his team take their time with the standalone', hall stepped in with a quick statement about how things were going, and what he was up to.
saying he was depressed about the situation, hall announced that there would be no updates about dayz's progress until after everything had gone back to normal. health issues and personal worries meant that, for his own wellbeing, rocket ought to keep things quiet for a while.
i know i have been very quiet lately. so this will be really all i'll say for the moment.

Our Sweet Tooth: Melting Chocolate For Decadent Desserts and Confections!
Melting Chocolate For Decadent Desserts and Confections!
When using chocolate for desserts it is often necessary to melt it before hand to achieve the textures you want in your confection. There are some tricks to melting chocolate that you need to be aware of before you begin. It is a bit of a delicate process because chocolate burns easily over direct flame. There are basically two methods for melting chocolate. One is in a double boiler and two is in a microwave.
A personally prefer the double boiler method over a microwave, but I will discuss both techniques for option sake. Both ways are effective as long as you are focused, paying attention to the task at hand. It takes a bit of patience for sure, but once you understand that it needs slow, steady heat and frequent stirring you are ready to begin melting.
The point that chocolate melt is between 86-96 degrees, but it needs to be brought up in temperature slowly. Keeping the chocolate in constant motion while heat is applied is important. This ensures even melting and that a skin does not form on the top. Dark chocolate is easier to melt that milk chocolate because of milk fats and solids that coagulate with heat. The general rule is to not heat dark chocolate over 120 degrees or milk chocolate over 115 degrees.
This technique provides a kind of cushion that protects the chocolate from close contact with the heat source. A double boiler is basically a glass or stainless steel insert that sits over a pot of heated water. Double means there are two kinds of pots involved. You can use an actual double boiler, which you can buy. Or you can make one by placing a stainless steel bowl over a pot of water, fitting it inside so it is in contact with the hot water. When melting your chocolate make sure the water level is no more than an inch so no water gets into the chocolate. Turn the heat on low and bring it up to almost a simmer. Place enough chocolate inside so you are still able to stir it appropriately with a rubber spatula. It is important not to "boil" the water. When the chocolate is halfway melted turn off the heat source and allow it to continue while you stir it. Be sure not to cover the pan, this will create condensation and water in your chocolate.
This is a simple technique which involves chopping the chocolate into pieces and placing them in a microwave safe bowl. Use low power and turn on for 15 seconds and then take out and stir it. Repeat until the chocolate is close to melted. With this method it is hard to see if chocolate is actually melted because it still might retain a shape, the inside might be done but the outside just needs to catch up, so beware!
It just takes a bit of practice to get these two main methods of melting chocolate down. But once you do you can then create all kinds of exotic desserts and treats for friends and family. There are literally countless ways to use melted chocolate; most cookbooks have at least a few recipes. Soon you will be a professional chocolatier making all kinds of amazing confections to delight in.

At LVISD, we are dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for the students, faculty, staff and visitors on our campuses. In order to support that commitment, we have a comprehensive emergency operations plan that addresses emergency mitigation/prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery procedures relevant to natural and human-caused disasters.
The plan is updated annually, reviewed by staff as well as emergency response personnel, and shared with campus and department staff, and with other individuals who may have a role in the event of an emergency. The plan prepares our staff and students for action and establishes teams, chains of command, and specific steps to take in an emergency situation. We are ready to provide for the safety and security of your children and others if the need ever arises.
As part of the plan, each campus practices fire, evacuation, reverse evacuation, exterior lockdown, full lockdown, safe shelter and bad weather drills throughout the year. This allows our district administrators to be sure that faculty/staff and students know the correct procedures in the event of an emergency.
Additionally, at LVISD, we are in partnership with local law enforcement agencies who provide school resource officers for our campuses.
• Enter and exit the building through the main entrance when visiting a campus.
• Always sign in at the front office to ensure that parents and other visitors are properly identified.
• Leave entrances and exits locked at all times. Exterior doors should not be propped open.
• Continue to be timely in picking up your child after school and after school functions so as not to leave the child waiting outside for a ride.
• Listen to your local television/radio stations and check the district website (www.lvisd.org) for information.
• As soon as possible, the district will activate its emergency call line to place a phone call explaining the situation to you. Please listen carefully to the message. There will be limited personnel available to answer phone calls from parents and phone lines may become overextended. Calling the school will tie up the phone lines and disrupt the flow of vital information between the school and authorities.
• When schools are in lockdown, please do not come to the school. A lockdown is designed to keep the children and staff inside the building away from harm. Entrances to the school are to be kept locked during this time.
• If your child reports to you that a drill took place at his/her campus that day, please take the opportunity to discuss the importance of drills and safety precautions.
• In the event of an emergency, students will be released to their families as soon as it is safe to do so. Local response personnel will determine when it is safe for the schools to begin releasing students. Only an authorized person as noted on the student forms on file in the school office will be able to pick up your child. A driver’s license or other form of photo I.D. must be shown before staff can safely release your child. Note that in the event of an emergency, phone calls authorizing a student’s release to a person other than a parent or name on file will not be accepted.
• If the need arises to implement these safety protocols, cooperating with campus personnel in a calm manner will ensure safe and timely release for students.
Please notify your child's campus office staff with any changes in address, home phone number, cell phone and office numbers. We want to keep our parents informed of any emergency situations.

What Is Balayage & Is It For You?
Balayage is a French word meaning ‘to sweep’ or ‘to paint’. In its truest form balayage is a highlighting technique from root to tip that creates a sun-kissed natural look on any hair colour.
It is quicker to apply than foil highlights and lower maintenance; so you can have beautiful lived-in colour that lasts for up to 12 weeks – and in some cases even longer.
The beauty of balayage is that it works with the natural fall of your hair and your own natural variations of tone to create a bespoke look that’s fresh and modern and totally tailored to you.
Balayage is all about soft contrasts that add movement and dimension for an effortless wearable look.
It’s a freehand hair painting that uses no foil or meche to create either a very natural looking highlight or a more dramatic contrast, but your colour should grow out very softly without any harsh lines.
If you want to have on-trend hair that looks naturally sun-kissed rather than obviously coloured, balayage is the best choice for you.
Balayage can work for all hair lengths from crops and bobs, through long bobs (lobs) to long layered hairstyles. It is also becoming increasing popular for men’s hair colour.
Jack will work with you to create the bespoke hair colour that will accentuate your hair and your best features.
Is balayage just for blondes?
There is a bit of a myth that balayage is just for blonde hair. It’s not the case. Balayage is a highlighting technique that brightens and adds contrast to all hair colours. The key is to choose tones two or three shades lighter than your base colour.
As well as his blonde clientele, Jack is renowned for his French browns and his balayage for red heads and has been at the forefront of the key trends for hybrid colours including bronde, ronze and rose gold hair colours.
For clients who dare to be a little more creative with their colour choice, balayage can be applied in more dramatic bold hues or pretty pastel tones for Instagram-friendly colour bleeds and melts.
Every colour appointment begins with a thorough consultation with Jack at London salon Paul Edmonds. You’ll discuss your hair and how your currently feel about it before discussing exactly how you would like it to look.
Get ready to answer some questions about your lifestyle, and how much time you are ready to commit to your hair and its upkeep, so Jack can personally tailor your colour so it suits your look and your life.
The initial colour consultation is a professional and paid for service that is essential to creating your perfect hair colour. The cost of the appointment will be deducted from your next service.
The bespoke colour will be mixed exclusively for you and is hand-painted onto the hair based on the natural rise and fall of your locks and any natural colour variations.
Jack will consider where the sun would naturally highlight your hair and what will best complement your features and accentuate the shape and texture of your hair.
For short hair, including balayage for men, or just one or two pieces the balayage may sometimes be applied at the backwash.
Over the years Balayage applications have changed and there are now four different types of application under the banner balayage: Classic, Creative, Micro and Californian.
For classic balayage application the product is loaded on the mid-lengths of the hair section, feathered up to the root then spread down over the surface of the section, and saturated on the ends to create a seamless finish.
It’s the Victoria Secret girl look; perfect for longer hair, with upkeep every 8- 10 weeks.
For creative balayage the product is also loaded on the middle of the section of hair and only feathered slightly up the hair shaft for a more lived-in finish, leaving the roots in their natural form. The ends of the section are still saturated.
Perfect for darker bases who want some lightness but nothing near the root, equally lovely on any colour because of it’s lived-in look. Great if you want lower maintenance colour, or simply like a ‘rooty’ feel.
Micro Balayage is a finer, more delicate application which works well on all hair colours. It works exceptionally well when wanting to achieve a heavier coverage of colour and when transitioning from foil highlights to balayage. It’s also perfect in fringes and is great for guys who want a sun kissed look. It goes all the way to the root and is great on bobs and shorter hair.
This type of balayage needs upkeep every 8 weeks.
Californian balayage is still very soft at the root with a much heavier coverage through the mid shaft and ends. This look achieves a more visible result through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair, and is the look most seen on Instagram at the moment. It works well for people who want to be blonde and is a high-maintenance look. Californian balayage works well with root stretches or root smudges and can also be achieved by merging classic balayage with ombre.
Balayage is low maintenance hair colour that often has a ‘rooty’ lived-in feel to it. There is no obvious regrowth so you can expect results that last much longer than foils highlights or block colour.
However, to keep the vibrance and longevity of your colour, Jack will recommend the professional shampoo and conditioner that is tailored to your hair type to reduce colour fade. You should also avoid excessive heat on your balayage pieces and always use a heat protection spray before using irons or tongs.
Many colour clients choose to visit Jack in-between their balayage appointments for a glossing treatment to brighten up their look.
Whether it’s an at-home colour that didn’t do what it said on the box or you didn’t get the desired result at another salon, Jack is skilled in the art of colour correction.
Jack also has decades of experience in how to transition his clients from old-fashioned foil highlights to on-trend balayage.

many colour clients choose to visit jack in-between their balayage appointments for a glossing treatment to brighten up their look.
whether it’s an at-home colour that didn’t do what it said on the box or you didn’t get the desired result at another salon, jack is skilled in the art of colour correction.
jack also has decades of experience in how to transition his clients from old-fashioned foil highlights to on-trend balayage.

To reach new levels of security, safety, comfort and entertainment we need to embrace the idea of computer vision in the home, rather than shying away from the idea of sharing personal data. Computer vision allows computers/systems to understand what they “see” via digital images or video. When systems can detect and recognize objects, they can deliver smart actions according to what they were programed to do. One area that has effectively proven how computer vision can enhance our lives is the automotive space. Car systems that utilize computer vision to learn the driver behind the wheel and “see” the surrounding area can alert the driver when he starts swerving out of his lane.
Many consumers are already using computer vision on their smartphones and don’t even know it. Snapchat and Instagram are both using computer vision-tracking to detect facial features and place overlays (filters) in the right places.
Welcoming computer vision into your home and adding it to your connected devices will enable a new level of convenience to your everyday routine. Your front door will be able to “see” when you arrive and unlock the door for you, or remain locked when an unfamiliar person (face) approaches. The alarm systems will be smarter, able to detect specific members of the family (including age and gender) and who’s not. Taking it a step further, indoor security cameras will send an alert to your smartphone if an elderly family member or guest falls, or if a toddler is climbing up the stairs, on the countertop or anywhere that places the child in danger. Nest, Logitech and other smart home manufacturers have already started to offer these smart security features to consumers as a subscription-based premium service, or already embedded them in their newest products.
When your home can see and has the capability to learn, over time it will be able to adjust lighting and temperature to the number of people in any given room to ensure a comfortable environment and potentially save you money on your electric bill. Your fridge will be able to “see” when you are low on milk and eggs and send you an alert to make sure those items are added to your grocery list.
Imagine a cable box that greets you by name and turns on a tailored interface with the content you like. Imagine not having to watch ads that are not relevant to you in any way, and a TV that is smart enough to block inappropriate content/channels when it detects kids in the room. Imagine a system that notices your significant other is sitting next to you on the couch and suggests content that will be enjoyable to both of you. These are examples of how your home and media reacts and adjusts to you. You become a true master of your home and providing data gives you access to new capabilities and information previously unavailable to you.
Activities and services that you may want to monitor in addition to security system alerts (for example, sensing who is at the front door to unlock or sound an alarm, and monitoring your children or activities in home).
For the first category, there is no need for the computer vision systems to save, show or share any video and visual content. All that is needed for the systems to work is real-time data reporting to the relevant systems, and the output should be X people in room, age, gender. To customize media content, an output stating the relevant family members in front of media device is necessary, but no visuals are needed. This can and should be embedded, which means no videos or images are sent to the cloud, the camera shouldn’t save any imagery locally and the camera itself shouldn’t be connected to internet — all computer vision calculations should be done in real time on the device itself. If the above rules are met, the computer vision technology is embedded on the device and your concerns about privacy should be resolved because the hackability of the system is extremely low.
Regarding the second category of computer vision systems, you have a need and desire to monitor and see what is happening in your house, so the privacy protection measures with the home security cameras should be implemented here as well. Once again, the deeper understanding and seeing capabilities of these systems do not require processing in the cloud, internet connectivity of the sensor or saving of images. It is you that wants to view it, so the risk with these enhanced capabilities will be no different from the ones faced today in this sector.
With the capabilities of IPTables Linux can be locked down in very specific ways for example limiting communication to specific IP addresses that allow it to operate safely in high threat environments.
I've seen articles about migrations to Linux desktops that cite benefits other than cost recently. As an example, the Linux desktops on the International Space Station are being used for stability and reliability reasons. Other migrations, like the Munich city council one, have been done to gain greater control over IT infrastructure with cost savings being a notable fringe benefit.
