The mobile PDF tool for architects and engineers: Drawboard

Drawboard is designed for use on Windows tablets with a pen . The app offers numerous drawing and annotation functions. The operation is original: all tools are in an «operating circle». Select the tool, tap in the center of the circle and set options such as color or line thickness - this is quick and intuitive with a pen.

Drawboard is suitable for editing texts, but above all for all kinds of plans and for sketches. The app is therefore aimed in particular at engineers, architects and project managers. Drawboard, however, receives criticism for its price model: The app can be used free of charge for three days, after which around 16 francs are due. If you want to use all functions, you also have to take out a subscription for the Pro version.

Windows 10: Drawboard , trial version free of charge; approx. 16 francs plus subscription model for pro functions (around 25 francs / year)

The range of functions can be expanded via in-app purchases, for example to rearrange pages or export PDFs as Word and Excel files.

How to cook flank steak?

Flank steak When properly prepared, it is especially tender and aromatic. The flank steak is lean and usually 2-3cm thick and weighs around 700-1000 grams. In the USA it is part of the standard range in almost every supermarket. In this country it is more difficult to get a good flank steak. The German butchers often do not know the cut and the flank ends up in the minced meat or sausage. And if you are lucky enough to get a flank, it is often tough because it has not matured long enough. That's why I swear primarily about US goods that can be bought in the wholesale market (Metro and Handelshof). But not everyone has the opportunity to shop there. There are a few online retailers, such as Albers Food , that also have flank steak in their range. Prepare the flank steak properly In order to get a tender and aromatic steak from the "belly flap" of the beef, you should pay attention to a few things. You should take the meat out of the refrigerator at a good time so that the ...

How to become a private investigator?

Since the designation of the profession as a private detective is not legally protected in Germany, you can theoretically call yourself a private detective after registering as a business. The job title is not linked to an apprenticeship or the like. There is also no state vocational training for private investigators in Germany. Training comes before learning by doing But the job title detective alone is not enough. Because if you have no idea of ​​the profession, then you cannot do the job properly. This is exactly the same as with all other professions. “Learning by doing” is certainly not the right way to go. The path to the private detective profession is therefore often followed by people who come from related professions: Electronics technician for the areas of eavesdropping and video surveillance Middle service officials (police, federal police, customs) Lawyers For career changers in the private detective profession, training through the ZAD is ideal. At the ZAD, even complete...
