Simple DIY Organizing Tricks Will Make Your Life Way Cuter Everyone knows it's hard to get anything done when the house (or office, or desk, or anything) is a mess. For one thing, you can't find any of the things necessary for getting work done because everything is a huge pile of old paperwork, food containers, and dirty socks. For another, there's no way you are going to be comfortable perched atop said mound of paperwork and dirty socks and if there isn't room for you, then there isn't room for work. Or play. Or company. Or, you know, having a life like a functional adult. But cleaning up, especially when it gets really bad, can be daunting. Luckily, a bunch of cleaning enthusiasts came up with easy solutions to organizing your life that will not only look great, but are also affordable, many times using things you probably already have. 1.)

How to develop construction data from Scan to BIM efficiently | Planning & Building Control Today There are several factors that govern the development of BIM models, from the laser scanned data of a building to construction work. Developing an intelligent BIM model out of scanned data will essentially be a journey that decides the future stages of construction work. Surveying old buildings with new technology, 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling for refurbishment, renovation and retrofit projects is not a new concept anymore. Factors such as the detailed level of scanning, the quality of scanning equipment and many more accounts for the output file (e.g. the final BIM or CAD model) that you obtain, all contribute to the development of BIM models. Consequently, the fundamental requirement is to get a sophisticated laser scanner that captures the 3D topography of the construction. The density of millions of data points scanned will decide the accuracy of the generated 3D model. Idyllic procedural approach Quality checks: The more the better Hiral Patel Hi-Tech CADD Services

No thanks Creating Found Storage Space In Your Home TORONTO - When homeowners start to feel squeezed for space they may be inclined to scout out a bigger house, but Rob Evans says new isn't necessarily better. "It's not easier to move because moving adds expense," said the contractor. "It adds a lot of money that's lost — property tax, your real estate fees. Inevitably that place you're going to you're going to do work to, so keep that in the place that you're used to (living in.)" "It's about growing with the house, with your family and taking a couple of steps back," said designer Mia Parres. Evans and Parres help space-starved homeowners in the new series "The Expandables," which airs back-to-back episodes Thursdays starting at 9 p.m. The families featured in "The Expandables" are faced with individual challenges of living within cramped quarters, whether it's due to the addition of children to the household or ineffective floor layouts that disrupt the flow of the home. "The point is opening the space up," he said. "Start in one spot.

“The Daily Rind”, a Better Way to Plan the Day — A. King in Society Photo: A sample “daily rind” from my notebook For years my task and schedule management lived across various apps — OmniFocus, Basecamp, Google Calendar, and others (and more recently, as I pared down my “productivity” tools, a simple combination of The Hit List + iCal.) But mapping out what to do throughout my day in a reliable way has always been a problem. Really understanding how little time there was and seeing patterns in time usage proved next to impossible, despite all the technology at my fingertips. I think I’ve found a better way. I still track my projects and tasks digitally, and keep a calendar (with online sync + backup) for planning ahead, but for mapping out what I’m going to do in the day ahead of me, I’ve devised a decidedly low-tech system which I’m lovingly referring to as “The Daily Rind.” Re-introducing Analog -or- Can’t Get No Satisfaction? I’d never really been attracted to using a paper-based day-planner. Hacking the Muji Chronotebook 1. 2. 3. The First Rind — Day

10 Words You Should Remove From Your Resume Right Now Are you a "creative" and "effective" job candidate? News flash: you're also "predictable," like a lot of other applicants using these same buzzwords. LinkedIn released their annual list of the most overused buzzwords on their 187 million profile pages this week, with "creative" taking the dubious honor for the second year in a row. Words commonly used on LinkedIn are also likely to appear on resumes, meaning the list outlines the buzzwords you should be avoiding when formatting and writing your own resume. 1. The lack of creativity in using the word "creative" to describe qualifications isn't confined to the U.S. -- it was also the most overused buzzword in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Still, removing the unoriginal buzzword entirely can be difficult. Separate from pure semantics there's plenty of other ways to make your resume stand out.
