What are the best 3D scanner apps for iOS and Android?
3D scanning apps are becoming increasingly popular for 3D reality capture. Three-dimensional capturing is often overshadowed by 3D printing, as it is mainly geared towards professional uses and is not as accessible to consumers as 3D printing. 3D scanners can be expensive and complex to operate, and only a few makers are equipped with 3D capture hardware- but this could change!
Indeed, more and more companies are making 3D scanning accessible by creating 3D scanning apps that can turn almost any smartphone into a pocket-sized 3D scanner. These 3D scanning apps are based on photogrammetry, a 3D scanning technology that creates 3D models out of 2D photos.
In photogrammetry, a camera takes pictures of an object from different angles and then a software generates a 3D model of it by "stitching" the images together. Since smartphones are now equipped with high definition cameras, a growing number of companies are developing 3D scanning apps- leveraging the photogrammetry technology to turn smartphones into 3D scanners.
In this article, we provide a comprehensive list of the best free 3D scanner apps available for iPhones and Android smartphones. Further below, information can be found on these 3D scanning applications and how mobile 3D scanning works.

How do 3D scanning apps work?
The photogrammetry 3D scanning technology
Three-dimensional scanning technology is based on photogrammetry, a technology that reconstructs a person or object in 3D from 2D captures. By definition, photogrammetry is "the science of making measurements from photographs", but in the case of 3D scanning, photogrammetry creates 3D models by feeding images into a computational model. A regular smartphone camera takes photos of an object, and then the software takes care of the rest by stitching the pictures together. With the photogrammetry 3D scanning technology, the final 3D scan features color and texture (unlike other technologies which only capture shapes for example).

Note: more information about 3D scanning is available in our 3D scanning technologies article.
3D scanning using a smartphone (iOS or Android)
Most 3D scanning apps are based on the photogrammetry 3D scanning technology. The user takes several pictures of the object from different angles (usually 360° around the object) with the 3D scanner app. Most 3D scanning apps provide on-screen tips and guidance to help users take the pictures properly in order to produce an accurate 3D model. These pictures are then processed by the app, either locally or through a cloud service, and "stitched" together to form a 3D model. The 3D model can then be exported or modified using additional 3D software and, in most cases, it can also be 3D printed.
3D scanner apps overview (iOS and Android)
- 3D scanning mobile apps that don't require any hardware in addition to the smartphone.
- and 3D scanning apps that do.
All of the 3D scanner apps are free to download from the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android) depending on the smartphone's operating system.

The exact date of its crowdfunding launch remains unknown for now, but users can subscribe to the 3Dignite Scanner newsletter for updates.
3D scanning software using a smartphone as a camera
3DF Zephyr
3DF Zephyr, a 3D scanning software with an easy-to-use interface, enables 3D scanning with smartphone featuring a high definition camera. 3DF Zephyr creates 3D scans from photos and is capable of exporting the 3D scans in common 3D file formats.
The free version of 3DF Zephyr allows the user to take up to 50 photos per scan, while paid versions of the software allow for unlimited photos. The more photos are processed, the better the quality of the final 3D model.
Autodesk ReMake
Autodesk ReMake, just like 3DF Zephyr, is a 3D scanning software that can generate 3D scans and meshes using a smartphone's HD camera. Autodesk ReMake enables users to create 3D scans from a series of photos. In the free version of Autodesk ReMake, a 50-photo limit is imposed for each 3D scan and the process is done locally (directly on the computer). The paid version offers a maximum limit of 250 photos, which can also be processed through a cloud service.

3D photo apps
What is 3D photo or spatial photography?
Spatial photography is a relatively new technology, a hybrid between capturing a video and taking photographs. 3D photos combine the perspective of a panoramic photo, the three-dimensional features of a video and the staticness of a regular photograph.
Differences between 3D photo and 3D scanning apps
3D photos are close to 3D scans, at least in the way they are seen, but they are still both separate. The differences between spatial photography and 3D scanning are the following:
- Spatial photography photos can't be 3D printed
- 3D photos can only be stored and accessed through a specific viewing app
- 3D scans can be edited
- 3D photos can't be exported to external software such as Sketchfab
- Compatibility: iOS/Android
- Price: Free
- App Store rating: 4.4/5
- Google Play rating: 3.9/5
- Country: United States
- Compatibility: iOS/Android
- Price: Free
- App Store rating: 2.9/5
- Google Play rating: 4/5
- Country: Singapore
Discontinued 3D scanner apps
123D Catch
123D Catch, which was once the most famous 3D scanning mobile app, is discontinued since April 2017. 123D Catch was compatible with iOS, Android and Windows smartphones.
Seene is a 3D scanning app for smartphones that has been acquired by Snapchat. According to a statement on Seene's website, the company is working on an "exciting new project" that combines virtual reality and 3D printing technologies.
Although Trimensional is still available on the App Store, it hasn't been updated since late 2014, so it is safe to say that the app can be considered discontinued.
In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of 3D scanning apps for smartphones that are currently available. The market is still too small and recent to create a ranking or leave out certain 3D scanning apps.
Even if some of these applications and their accessories are able to create very decent 3D models, they aren't as technologically advanced as actual 3D scanners can be. 3D scanning applications are a great solution for beginners, hobbyists and even professionals that don't require ultra-high quality 3D scans.

Nice atmosphere, simple decoration and tranquility, which in Madrid, we have to admit, is not so easy to find. Initially famous for its tartare, Moncalvillo has gained in reputation thanks to its refined and well-balanced menu (lovely deserts as well). The boletus starter is not to be missed. And no crisis here, prices are rather on the rise!

My name is Steven Fine, founder and principal of Estate Plan for Wisconsin. Over the last 28 years I have helped families in Wisconsin grow and protect their estates. I have witnessed, just as you have, how laws are used, changed, and altered in ways that can negatively affect hard working families if they are not fully aware of their options.
Estate Plan of Wisconsin works with individuals, couples and families, educating and creating an estate transfer plan that minimizes the cost, time and frustration to themselves and those that they love. Our goal is simply to bring the benefits that wealthy families have taken advantage of for so long to everyday, hard working families in a cost effective manner.
Assistance with Wills, Trusts, and various documents for a complete plan of estate protection is our mission.
Every individual, couple and family can benefit from the services we offer. Beyond the financial benefits and lifetime assistance, there are additional benefits that are greatly needed by families with special needs children, blended families and non-traditional couples.
We welcome you to download and read one or all of the free reports on this site. Then arrange for a no-obligation, educational visit. By phone or in person, you will have your questions answered so that you will be able to make an informed decision for you and those you love.
I look forward to speaking with you.

Water Buffalo Larb
Larb is one of my favorite dishes. I especially like eating it when the weather is hot outside and making me crave for a light, spicy meal. Larb (a dish that originated from Thailand and Laos cuisine) is conventionally prepared with ground pork although you can try ground turkey or other types of meat. I personally tried ground turkey and can assert that even with such lean meats, its other ingredients which include lime juice, fish sauce and chilis ensure that the dish retains its intended flavor.
There was this one time when I made it using a ground local water buffalo. I am a meat distributor which makes it easy for me to get buffalo meat. If you can get it too, try making Larb with it and see if you feel the same magic I felt. Note that water buffalo meat is lean and although it's not what comes to everyone's mind when they yearn for meat, it's a near perfect fit for Larb. Just like in the case of pork, the dish is conventionally served with lettuce as a wrap. In my case, I did not have any so I replaced it with coconut rice. Ask me why the coconut rice and I will tell you that I like how it tastes when the soup soaks into it. To add some interest to it, I threw some vegetables into the mix.
Before I began cooking, I worked on the garnish I was going to use for the meal because they say that garnish has got fiber. I grated a few carrots and then poured wine vinegar alongside other ritualistic ornamental ingredients that included salt, a dash of sugar and hot chili oil. Finally and the end of my wits, I let everything sit and marinate until I was confident that the meal was ready. The result was that they were crunchy and just the perfect fit for my coconut rice.
*Update 4/13/17 – I found a recipe (I'll link to it later) that makes bread that is the perfect pairing to Water Buffalo Larb. I was researching bread machines when I came acrross this guide from Abby Sher: Ultimate Guide For The Best Bread Machines. Hopefully it will help you out as well!

3rd Field Artillery Regiment
In reply to:
3rd Field Artillery
There was a major reorganization in 1901, during which the Artillery Corps was formed by consolidating all existing artillery units, coast and field. This proved impractical and brought about another major reorganization in 1907. 3d Field Artillery was one of the regiments created by the Reorganization of 1907.
The regiment was constituted in the Regular Army 25 January 1907. Organized 31 May 1907 from new and existing units with Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Assigned to 6th Division 17 November 1917. No overseas service during World War I. (Individual battalions inactivated and activated at various times between 1922 and 1940 for economic reasons.) Relieved from assignment to 6th Division and assigned to 5th Division 24 March 1923. Relieved from 5th Division and assigned to 6th Division January 1930. Relieved from 6th Division and assigned to 2d Cavalry Division September 1939. Reorganized and redesignated 3d Field Artillery Battalion January 1941. Reorganized and redesignated 3d Armored Field Artillery Battalion 14 July 1942, concurrently relieved from assignment to 2d Cavalry Division and assigned to 9th Armored Division. Served with division in Europe throughout the war.
All I can relate for certain is that the regiment was assigned to 6th Division (later redesignated 6th Infantry Division) during your Dad's service. Where he was stationed at any given time and other particulars depends on what battery and/or battalion he was assigned to.

Queensland man dies after falling into a woodchipper0:43
A QLD man has died after accidentally falling through a woodchipper on a property in Gympie, north of Brisbane. Credit: @9NewsQueensland.
THE family of a man killed in an horrific accident when he fell into a woodchipper have spoken of their shock.
Bruce Saunders, 54, died instantly after he became trapped in the machine while mulching branches at a Goomboorian property, near Gympie, on Sunday evening, the News-Mail reports.
Mr Saunders' Bundaberg family and those who knew him took to the NewsMail Facebook page yesterday to pay their respects.
"It was very hard to wrap our heads around yesterday when we got the news about Uncle Bruce, it's a horrible incident," his niece Katrina Harrington said.
His sister, Susanne Saunders, said the shock death was "so hard to come to terms with".
Two friends, who were working alongside the 54-year-old, desperately tried to free him as he was pulled into the machine, but police said the man died instantly.
Gympie police acting inspector Paul Algie said the circumstances were horrific, but the incident was not being treated as suspicious.
"He was placing a tree into a tree shredder; he's become entangled within the machine and has died as a result of his injuries," he said.
"He was found by his two friends, they attempted to get him out of the machine and were unable to do so."
The scene was one of the most harrowing he had come across in 16 years of policing, Act Insp Algie said.
"I went out there this morning to speak to officers from Brisbane and I'd have to say it's one of the worst incident scenes I've ever seen," he said.
"There was nothing that could be done to save this gentleman."
He could not go into details about the man's injuries, but said specialist police unit Disaster Identification Squad had been brought in from Brisbane to identify the man.
The three men had been using a hired woodchipper with a 15-inch blade, for the third weekend in a row, to help clear a woman's driveway when the horrendous event unfolded at 7.40pm.
Act Insp Algie said police and emergency workers who responded to the emergency call were confronted with a very traumatic scene.
"(They were) obviously dealing with the distressed people that were there, but also trying to process what they uncovered there around the tree shredder," he said.
They would be offered support services, Act Insp Algie said, while Gympie police work with forensic crash police from Maryborough and Workplace Safety Queensland.
The machine has been impounded by police and subject to a mechanical inspection, with results from specialist engineers not expected for at least a week.

Billed as an urban off-roader, this Toyota RAV-4-sized mini-ute was penned by Isuzu's European design team.
It is designed to carry up to 7 passengers, which should be an easy task for the Deseo's direct-injection gasoline-powered 3.2-liter DOHC V-6, which is claimed to provide the dual benefits of increased power under full-throttle operation and improved fuel economy at idle and low-load running.
Torque is distribut ed by a new Torque On Demand electronically controlled transfer case.
And finally, to minimize weight, the Deseo is built on an all-aluminum frame, and it employs an aluminum bellypan to reduce underbody aerodynamic drag.

Saumitra Chatterjee is one of the most talented actor and probably the most acknowledged one internationally from Bengal. The later is due to his appearance in many of Satyajit Ray's movies. He is to the films of Satyajit Ray what Toshiro Mifune was to the films of Akira Kurosawa or Marcello Mastroianni to Federico Fellini. Saumitra appeared in 15 of the 34 films made by Ray.
Born in 1935, Saumitra graduated from Calcutta University with honors in literature. First appeared in film in 1959; it was Apu-r Sansar (The World of Apu), the final film of Satyajit Ray's 'Apu Trilogy'. Saumitra acted in the role of a young man 'Apu' who experiences the turmoil of life. His work in this film gave him a distinct place in the heart of cinema lovers. This place was evenly firmed when he portrayed the ever popular character of Feluda in Ray's thriller Sonar Kella in the mid seventies. Ray made three films based on the works of Tagore and incidentally Saumitra acted in all of them – Charulata, Samapti (in Teen Kanya) and Ghare Baire. Apart from Ray, Saumitra acted with other prominent film directors such as Mrinal Sen, Tapan Sinha. Saumitra displayed same level of excellence in regular commercial movies as well as in parallel film.
Saumitra acts, writes and directs plays in Bengali theatre. He had the honor of sharing stage with legendary stage personalities like Sisir Kumar Bhaduri in the early days (role of Suresh in Prafulla) of his career. Saumitra reads and writes poetry and has a distinct place in the arena of Bengali poetry recitation. He also acts in television and in folk dramas (Jatra s).
Saumitra received the 'The Officier des Arts et Metiers', the highest award for arts from France, lifetime achievement award from Italy. He is probably the only Indian actor to have a full-length documentary devoted to him by any Westerner – French director Catherine Berge made a documentary film titled 'Tree' on his life. He refused 'Padmasree' from India Govt. in the seventies. Recently he was awarded with 'Padma Bhusan' by President of India. But the best award for him is probably the love and the special place in the heart of film lovers.

Bob Hope's 10 Best Jokes
According to biographer Richard Zoglin.
He had a million of 'em, literally. Bob Hope kept nearly every joke ever written for him — the good, the bad, the keepers, and the rejects — in a voluminous joke file locked away in a vault in his Toluca Lake, California, home. He was America's unofficial comedian-laureate for more than half a century, wisecracking about everything from presidential politics to Dean Martin's drinking. Today, Hope's comedy is often dismissed as dated and corny — not to mention the product (in the old-fashioned way) of writers, rather than the comedian's own ideas, experiences, and neuroses. But Hope's topical monologues were the foundation stone for all modern stand-up comedy; no one ever delivered a one-liner better, and some of his gags remain classics. Richard Zoglin, author of Hope: Entertainer of the Century (on sale today), picked ten worth remembering.
1. "Welcome to the Academy Awards. Or as it's known at my house, Passover."
Hope's most famous crack about his most famous running gag at the Academy Awards: never winning an Oscar himself. Hope, who hosted or co-hosted the show a record 19 times, was somewhat disingenuous: The Academy actually gave him five awards over the years, all honorary.
2. "Unpack."
Hope, a friend to every president from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton, sent this succinct telegram to Truman on the morning after his upset victory in the 1948 presidential election.
3. "The country is behind you, 50 percent."
In nine straight Christmas trips to Vietnam, Hope became a partisan figure, scorned by much of a generation for his hawkish views on the war. Yet his jokes provided a chronicle of the country's growing divisions over Vietnam, as in this wry quip to the troops in December 1966.
4. "In a dirty glass!"
His movies were memorable more for Hope's blustering-coward character than for great lines. An exception came in Road to Utopia, when Hope growls this comeback after startling the rough characters in a Yukon bar by ordering a lemonade.
5. "It just proves one thing: Their German scientists are better than our German scientists."
The Cold War brought out the best in Hope's topical humor. This was his explanation, after another failed U.S. missile launch, for why the Soviet Union was winning the space race.
6. "Kate Smith finally turned in her girdle. You should see the moon come over the mountain now."
During World War II, Hope often joked about wartime shortages and rationing, like the ban on women's girdles to save rubber. This crack, about the amply proportioned singer whose theme song was "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain," was censored by NBC as too racy. Hope used it later in one of his wartime broadcasts to the troops.
7. "As we flew in, they gave us a 21-gun salute. Three of them were ours."
Hope's sardonic reference to the dangers he faced on his first trip to Vietnam in 1964. He did variations on the line in nearly every hostile locale he visited.
8. "Senator McCarthy is going to disclose the names of 2 million Communists. He just got his hands on a Moscow telephone book."
Hope privately admired Senator Joseph McCarthy, but that didn't stop him from taking swipes (within limits) at the red-baiting senator's penchant for finding communists under every cushion.
9. "California's back to a two-party system: the Democrats and the Screen Actors Guild."
Two of Hope's favorite topics were politics and Hollywood. Ronald Reagan's run for governor of California in 1966 was a fortuitous marriage of the two, and the Gipper became one of his perennial targets.
10. "I've never seen six hours whiz by so fast."
As the Oscar shows became ever more tedious and bloated, emcee Hope always brought them down to Earth. His quip at the end of the 1968 ceremony would be repeated, in some form or other, by nearly every Oscar host who followed.

On the anniversary of the 1953 East Coast Flood experts say forecast computing advances should prevent a repeat of the disaster.
60 years ago today more than 30,000 people were evacuated and 24,500 houses were damaged as tidal surges inundated coastal communities from Shetland to Kent, with 307 people losing their lives.
A lack of warning was the prime reason for the level of casualties in 1953, but modern advances in computing mean warnings are now often well in advance of potential flooding.
In the wake of the 1953 flood the UK Coastal Monitoring and Forecasting, a partnership of public bodies was set up to provide warnings of impending high water levels.
The body is funded by the Environment Agency and costs roughly £2 million per year, but with agency recently revealing that 1.3 million people are at risk of coastal flooding in England and Wales, the service is vital.
Data is fed in from a network of tidal level gauge stations at 44 key locations around the UK, buoys measuring wave height run by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture
Science, tidal surge models run by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and climactic information from the Met Office.
Tim Harrison, senior advisor for monitoring and forecasting at the Environment Agency, said: "You've got all these different sets of telemetry gathering different observations out there and feeding into the tidal surge models.
"They provide a forecast of tidal surge at the key 44 locations round the country and all that information feeds into the National Flood Forecasting System."
Improvements in forecasting meant that when the worst storm surge in more than 20 years hit the east coast of the UK in November 2007, precautionary evacuations in East Anglia and the raising of the Thames Barrier meant there were no fatalities or significant financial losses.
However 2007 saw widespread flooding throughout the summer prompting the Government to commission a review of the response from Sir Michael Pitt and in April 2010 the Government passed the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, which implemented many of his recommendations.
One of the outcomes was The Flood Forecasting Centre, a partnership between the Environment Agency and the Met Office, which forecasts for all forms of flooding from rivers to surface water to coastal and groundwater.
"All this involves a massive amount of computing," said Mr Harrison. "So really the only practical way to do that is to exploit the benefits of the Met Office super computer."
Another outcome of the Pitt report was a recommendation to provide longer lead times on warnings.
Mr Harrison said: "The only way of providing very long lead times is to provide probabilistic information, so saying there is a 10 per cent chance of the level getting to XYZ. We have been taking steps to build a fully probabilistic service."
Since the report the NOC has started running their models multiple times, creating ensemble models, which can predict conditions up to 7 days in advance though only the 5 day forecast are used operationally at present.
"You perturb the initial conditions of your model and then do multiple runs of the model, maybe 50 runs of the same model, and you get a whole range of outputs," said Mr Harrison.
"What I call the deterministic run or the most probable run may say the surge will be five metres, then you may have all 49 other runs with a distribution around that five metres. So based on those you can form a probabilistic forecast, say there is a 10 per cent chance the level might get to six metres."
But this approach to forecasting is still in its infancy and presents challenges to those making decisions.
Mr Harrison said: "The big issue with probabilistic forecasts is how do you convert probabilistic information into operational decisions? If you just have one model that says you've got a five metre surge you have a clear idea. Either you do something or you don't.
"If you have probabilistic information that says there's a 30 per cent chance you're going to get five metres then you've got to make a judgement about what to do. Are you going to issue a warning and close a gate, such as the Thames Barrier?"
Forecasters are working on a formal system for using this probabilistic information for operational purposes, but another idea is to publish the forecasts so the public are aware of conditions.
"What we want to do is publish the forecasts on the internet to get them to the wider public. We're not there yet but we've got work in hand to do this, then the step after that is to publish not just the forecasts but the probabilistic forecasts," said Mr Harrison.
"Of course it's very complex and some people would be frightened to death to see something like that and trying to interpret it, but in my mind I think this is where we should be heading."
The advances in forecasting mean experts are even beginning to be able to forecast flash floods in rapid response catchments, like the one experienced in Boscastle, Cornwall, in 2004.
"They are highly dangerous and people can die," he said. "But with this increase in computing power available to us and the Met Office to provide rainfall forecasts, it is becoming increasingly realistic to provide forecasts in these situations and we are starting to do that."
But despite the huge amount of technology feeding into the system, Mr Harrison says it is still ultimately the experts calling the shots.
"There is still a human element to the forecast service. We've got all the data collection and all the modelling. But then a person collects it, reviews the forecasts, and makes a judgement on if the forecast is good and if information feeding it is good. Then we can contact our colleagues and if necessary issue a flood warning."

Aristarchos, Copernicus, Bruno, Galilei and the truth
Greek astronomer Aristarchos of Samos hypothesized in the 3rd century BC that earth is not the center of the universe but revolves around the sun, a concept that was not accepted at the time. Cleanthes, the philosopher, declared that Aristarchos should be indicted for impiety.
In 1530, Nikolaus Copernicus completed his great work De Revolutionibus, which asserted that the earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the sun once yearly. Copernicus, the ever perfectionist, was reluctant to publish the work, distributing only portions of it among astronomers. His concept would be promoted by Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. For his beliefs, Bruno was put to death by burning in 1600 by the Roman Inquisition. In 1633, Galilei was brought before the Inquisition, charged with heresy and made to publicly renounce his beliefs in the Copernicus theory. In 1992, Pope John Paul said the church's denunciation of Galileo's work had been a tragic error and in 2008 Pope Benedict XVI paid tribute to Galilei.
Here's to the great believers of truth!

Wow! I cannot believe how much time has passed since my last post. Much has changed since that time. Natasha is maturing into a typical teenager. I will do my best to record it in this blog. Mostly it will be for my own benefit, since I doubt anyone is following this blog any longer.
We really are blessed to have a beautiful, smart, wise, confident daughter. That being said, she is hardly the shy little girl we brought home 2 years ago!
The last time I posted, she still wanted lots of mommy time, cuddling and the security of her parents. I knew that would be short-lived as she developed into a teenager, but I was grateful that we had that time to bond and to give her the things that were lacking in her childhood. Honestly, at age 12, she still wanted the closeness that a 8-9 year old would want. I was happy to give it. Both because it helped the two of us bond and because she needed to get those things that she did not get as a child. It was probably a good year and a half of a regular night-time cuddling ritual before she began to no longer need or want it. Probably about 6 months ago, around her 13th birthday, I noticed her not needing our nightly ritual as much. She got more interested in her friends,boys, music and texting! Now she is a typical, boy crazy teen girl, complete with the Justin Bieber crush.
I know we were able to help her grow in her emotional development so that she is now a typical boy crazy teenage girl. I know that it was the environment we provided that allowed her to get those earlier needs met and complete her development to the next level of maturity. (see aforementioned crazy teenage girl). Still, I can't help feeling a little bit wistful and sad, wishing we had more of that time to spend together. I find myself wondering if that year and a half of really close mommy time was enough to develop a strong mother-daughter bond that will last our lifetimes. Most mothers and daughters have so much more time together before the daughter begins to pull away. That year and a half I had is so precious to me. I hope it was enough.
I am a bit envious of more conventional families that had more time together before the eye-rolling and "embarrassed to be seen with your parents" stage begins.
As I type, she is in her bedroom talking up a storm with her best friend about the latest" who likes who" saga from school.
I have notices some behaviors, which for some may look like typical, frusrating teenage behavior, that I know are really more about her lingering attachement issues. She still has some anger and control and trust issues, but they are pretty minor and we are still talking them through. For the most part, they manifiest like typical, frustrating teenage behavior, but I know they stem from her attachment.
Til next time!

The Goods — 11 November 2011
The photographic arms race is in full swing, with good cameras easily breaking the thousand dollar cost barrier. The sad part is, all of that technology and one of those zeros are often wasted on us nonprofessionals.
Starting at $399, the Lytro is a new kind of camera. It captures a scene's complete light spectrum and uses technology—or magic for those of us who opted to study humanities—to allow the user to focus and colorize the picture after the fact. Sound interesting? Check it out.

I have a client who occasionally used to take her keys and her purse and just walk out of the house and off to the bank. She always thought she had some important banking business to take care of. Going to the bank was something she was used to doing regularly. In the beginning, I got frustrated whenever this would happen. I would go after her down the street and she would scream at me, "Leave me alone! Get away from me!" and all of her neighbors would stare. They had no idea who I was.
At this point, I knew it was time for me to implement a new strategy. I had to find some way to prevent this from happening again. That's when I started taking her out shopping more- this client loves to shop. After a few weeks of this, she got used to me driving her all over to different cities finding new stores to go shopping. She didn't even think about wandering off to the bank or anyplace else anymore. She was getting out of the house, like she wanted to, and participating in activities like she used to.
Implementing care strategies to match your client is so important. Think of solving problems like this as a fun, creative challenge.
At 45mm wide with a simple date window, it's unfussy, easy to read, and rolex replica uk pretty good-looking, in my opinion. The debut of the Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium watch came in 2010. It's interesting to note that it came out five years after the rolex replica uk – a sign that hublot replica knew that there is a market out there for people who love the classic "porthole" look, but want something a little slimmer and less busy. Do you get the full "hublot replica sale" experience with the Classic Fusion? Perhaps you would expect that to be a more difficult-to-answer question cartier replica uk but... I would say yes! Yes, because you can see and feel that this watch's DNA is pure Hublot replica watches.

I am a photographer residing in the Metro St. Louis Region.
A camera has been in my hand since the third grade. I've never really thought of making a business of it! But then I took a job as a photographer with PictureMe studios. In no time at all, I was studio manager.
Upon their sudden closing, I decided to start my own business. Dozens upon dozens of sessions later, here I am!
I offer my clients a great experience for a low cost. My goal as your photographer is to create a positive atmosphere. After booking a session with me, you need not worry; leave everything to me!

cmavo-compound mekso operator: plus or minus with order important, (((a±b)±c)±...±z) Strictly not "positive or negative" (if order matters, use ma'ufa'uni'u instead for that purpose). Subscript fa'u when multiple such operators (including "positive or negative" and others) are in use but are applied independently. This word is more useful and more general in mathematics than su'ijavu'u is, but is perhaps/arguably less general(ly useful) in Lojban, syntactically speaking, since not all statements have multiple occurrences of fa'u that may be linked.
cmavo-compound mekso operator: plus or minus, (((a±b)±c)±...±z) Strictly not "positive or negative" (which is ma'ujani'u vel sim.). This word is general but could easily be replaced by su'ijonaivu'u when the two options are not equivalent (usually when none of the operands are 0). Not preferred in complicated expressions wherein order of operations is important: see su'ifa'uvu'u or su'ifa'u'aivu'u.

Highway 68 culvert repair delayed until Thursday
Highway 68 culvert repair delayed until Thursday
MONTEREY, Calif. —
The emergency culvert replacement roadwork on eastbound Highway 68 between Quail Ridge Lane (one mile east of Laguna Seca Race Track) and Corral de Tierra Road near Monterey will not resume until Thursday.
CalTrans said the delay is due to a possible change in plans from daytime to nighttime work. That plan is currently being discussed with the contractor, and the new work schedule is expected to be announced Thursday afternoon.
Highway 68 between Monterey and Salinas is now open in both directions, with no constructions delays at the culvert work site, and will remain that way until Thursday.

Hounslow Council has received a boost in its work to crack down on rogue landlords, with a grant funding of £67,500.
The money follows a successful bid to the Department for Communities and Local Government and will be extra money to assist the council's specialist Rogue Landlords team within the Housing Enforcement team.
Together with the council's own investment of £197,000 over three years, the team will continue its work on the issues caused by landlords not abiding by the law and providing substandard properties to tenants.
The team targets unlicensed landlords of Houses of Multiple Occupation [HMO's], those landlords who don't maintain their properties, resulting in poor living conditions for tenants in sub-standard housing and tackling the issue of illegally occupied outbuildings and landlords who fail to enter into proper and lawful tenancy agreements.
The council regulates conditions within the private rented sector which makes up nearly 20 per cent of all private homes in the borough, to ensure that rented properties meet the minimum standards by law.
Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council said: " These funds will help us to go further in tackling the blight of rogue landlords who rent out unsafe, illegal and overcrowded properties. We want to let them know it is not acceptable.
"This money, on top of the council's own investment for the specialist Rogue Landlords team, will be used to tackle the issues to make sure we can carry on the work we're doing.
"Our aim as always is to look to improve the quality of life of all our residents by providing through our services, safe, warm and affordable housing in the private housing sector as well as council-owned properties."
To find out more about the council's work to tackle rogue landlords and illegal outbuildings or if have any concerns, you can call 020 8583 3871 or email email@example.com

Women to Watch in NY tech
Jill Sherman
CEO, Modalyst
The fashion-buying world is glamorous, but for Jill Sherman, a former buyer for luxury department store Harvey Nichols, it's also inefficient.
"You find designers from around the world only to find that the next year they haven't survived," said Ms. Sherman, 35. "[Retailers] are also forced to buy six months in advance, before knowing the trends of the season."
Ms. Sherman's B2B startup, Modalyst—which she launched in January 2013 after meeting her business partner, Alain Miguel, at MIT—has enabled more than 3,000 boutiques and 250 designers worldwide to connect in ways previously exclusive to large department stores and known brands. The Manhattan-based company, with eight employees, has a platform that makes it possible for independent retailers to receive bulk-order discounts and gives them more ability to test different brands and products while they share the financial risk with others.
The company plans to expand from fashion into other product categories—Ms. Sherman won't say which—and hopes to raise another round of funding this summer. "I like the opportunity for young designers and companies to have a platform on which to present and communicate to retailers," said fashion-market analyst Abbey Doneger.
