An
update on the “suicide app.” This does not mean it is impossible
to monitor your mood. It just means you have no way of knowing it is
happening.

Emotional support charity Samaritans
has suspended its new Twitter app due to privacy concerns.
The Radar app monitored Twitter accounts to alert users of friends or
family who may be showing signs of depression through their posts.

iPad
App: Scan Documents into PDF with Genius Scan
Genius
Scan is very handy app I discovered recently
while scanning documents. It allows you to take a photo of a
document and export them as JPEG or PDF files. What makes Genius
Scan better than other apps is its ability to detect edges and its
perspective correction. This can be useful for teachers or students
who want to scan pages of books and read them on their iPads.
Once
you take a photo, the app detects the page frame, crops it, correct
its persective, and remove unnecessary background. This means that
you don’t need a perfect straight shot.
Genius
Scan allows scanned images to be emailed as a JPG or PDF file. It
allows export to Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Expensify, Facebook, Google
Drive, OneDrive, OneNote, Twitter, and many others.
Genius
scan is also available as an iPhone app and an iPod Touch app.

teachers pack conceal carry class at Centennial Airport
…
The Centennial Gun Club -- the largest gun club in the Rocky
Mountain West -- said more than two-thirds of those who signed up for
the class are women.
The
gun club organized the class as a response to the "ongoing
epidemic of school shootings and other illegal gun violence
perpetrated in gun-free zones throughout the United States."
The
8-hour class was held inside an airplane hangar at Centennial
Airport. The educators learned the basics of handling a firearm,
shooting fundamentals, drawing from a holster, and more. There were
also presentations by Sheriff David Walcher, D.A. George Brauchler,
and Senator Ted Harvey .
