Anne, thanks for sending the link for the video, as I received mine on
Tuesday, and haven't worked out how to put it together yet.

Hello everyone,
Today, I received my Giraffe Reader for iPhone. This serves a similar
purpose to that of the StandScan Pro, but it does not have any
lighting. It is, however, much smaller and lighter, measuring about 26
cm by 21 cm when folded.
The Giraffe Reader is quicker to assemble than the StandScan Pro as it
only has three sections. Once erected, it consists of a base which is
roughly A5 size, an upright piece which is three sides of a rectangle
in cross section, and a platform to hold the iPhone in place.
It is made of a plastic material that feels like shiny cardboard and
is held in shape by magnets.
There is a video showing how to use the Giraffe Reader at:
<https://vimeo.com/88239540>
Within the euro zone, the Giraffe reader costs EUR33.25.
In Britain, it costs £30.
You can contact its creator, Sam Jewell at:

I'll paste the result of my first scan using the Giraffe Reader below
my signature. The item scanned is an exam paper for French student
nurses who have to understand English.
Cheers,
Anne
2008, GP figures show. 1 his meanb 070 ui u.
850,000 more have diabetes without knowing it. Diabetes UK says the
rise is largely fuelled by
type 2 diabetes, linked to obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. The
survey combined GP data from
England^Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to calculate the overall
figure of how many people
in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes accounts for about a tenth of cases and occurs when
the insulin-producing cells in
the body have been destroyed.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the insutin-producing cells in the body
are unable to produce enough insulin, or when the insulin that is
produced does not work properly.
Insulin enables the body to use sugar as energy and store any excess
in the liver and muscle.
If this fails, blood sugar rises and this can cause long-term
complications, such as kidney damage.
The NHS spends 10% of its budget on diabetes and 80% of this goes on
treating consequences such as amputation, kidney failure, heart
disease and stroke.
