Anne-Françoise-Hippolyte Boutet zwana Mademoiselle Mars (ur. 9 lutego1779 w Paryżu, zm. 20 marca1847) – aktorka francuska, członkini Comédie-Française.

Życiorys
Anne-Françoise-Hippolyte Boutet była córką pary aktorów  Jacques'a-Marie Bouteta de Monvel et Madame Salvetat zwanej panią Mars. Zagrała po raz pierwszy w Komedii Francuskiej w wieku szesnastu lat. Teatr był wówczas podzielony. Po jego ponownym otwarciu w 1799 roku grywała rolę dziewcząt w sztukach Moliera i Marivaux. Została członkiem Komedii Francuskiej po odejściu z niej aktorki Louise Contat w 1812 roku. Od tego czasu zaczęła też grać bardziej wymagające role. Zasłynęła rolami Sylwii w Igraszkach trafu i miłości  i Araminty w Fausses confidences Marivaux, Elmiry w Świętoszku i Celimeny w Mizantropie Moliera. W 1813 roku wzięła udział w występach Komedii Francuskiej w Dreźnie. Była obok Talmy największą gwiazdą sceny francuskiej tego okresu. Po jego śmierci w 1826 roku zdominowała Komedię Francuską. Chociaż wroga romantyzmowi zagrała w Henryku III i jego dworze Alexandre'a Dumasa, Le More de Venise Alfreda de Vigny i Hernanim Victora Hugo. Zrezygnowała z członkostwa w Komedii Francuskiej 4 lutego 1832 roku, jednak rok później wróciła jako pensjonariuszka. Zagrała Katarzynę w Angelo, tyran de Padoue Victora Hugo w 1835 oraz pierwszą rolę w Pannie z Belle-Isle Alexandre'a Dumasa w 1839. Miała wówczas 60 lat. Wobec brutalnych ataków w prasie wycofała się ze sceny. Po raz ostatni zagrała w 1841 roku w Świętoszku Moliera i Igraszkach trafu i miłości Marivaux. Zagrała łącznie 109 ról.

Braves hit this - if you can
Entering Thursday, the Braves had played 22 home games so far this year, winning 14 of them. And even though their record is great, their offensive performance at the plate has been anything but.
Overall, the Braves are hitting .244 this season at Turner Field compared to .281 on the road. Scott Thorman is leading the group with a lowly .182 batting average, while Andruw Jones is only hitting .203 in 74 plate appearances. Chipper Jones is batting .250, and newcomer Kelly Johnson is hitting .253.
Without question (hopefully), the Braves will eventually come around with the bats. But Atlanta has been winning at home this season because of its pitching. Combined, the pitching staff has a 3.23 earned run average in 198 innings pitched, and is holding opponents to just a .248 batting average.
As I sat in attendance Wednesday night watching Atlanta lose to New York, 3-0, while only managing five hits, I pondered the question repeatedly over and over in the back of my mind: Why are you guys struggling so much at the plate, especially here of all places?
And after Andruw Jones struck out for his second time in the ballgame (53 strikeouts overall), it suddenly dawned on me who - or what - to blame.
Mitsubishi Electric.
Yes, the company who is a recognized leader in the research, engineering and manufacturing of electronic equipment is clearly at fault; the same company who successfully built the world's largest outdoor high definition screen (5,600 square feet) and then dropped it smack dab above the centerfield fence two years ago.
The display is so big that it set a Guinness World Record in 2005. It is 71 feet tall and 79 feet wide, weighs 50 tons and has approximately 5.2 million LED lights.
The screen is an amazing spectacle - absolutely stunning. In fact, I keep finding myself watching the screen almost as much as the live action on the field whenever I attend the home games. How could one not? It's got 266 panels (each contains 20 lighting units) with enough modules to reproduce one billion colors, and can be watched from almost any angle.
In addition, player statistics are listed on the screen, including what a player has done during the current game. It's great for fans, but as a player it has to be somewhat disturbing.
Atlanta pitchers are performing at home because their backs are turned to the gargantuan screen. (Well, that and the fact that the Braves have a stacked pitching rotation, especially when compared to last year.)
Now, I'm not making any excuses for why the Braves are struggling with the stick; these guys are professionals and are groomed to excel in any given situation, regardless of whether or not his gigantic mug shot is plastered for everyone in downtown Atlanta to see. I'm just merely presenting one of several factors which are hindering them from swinging like they are capable of hitting. How could someone possibly hit a 95 mile-per-hour fastball with his large picture profile looming down from behind the pitcher?
On Wednesday, I counted at least a hundred times where a Brave or a Met would look up at the screen to see if he got a hit or made an error in the field, or even if he just wanted to glance at how good looking he came across on the enormous screen. (And now I realize how pathetic it was of me to be literally sitting in one of the most beautiful baseball stadiums in the country, yet counting how many times a professional athlete was stealing a peek at himself on a screen, nonetheless.)
Personally, there is absolutely no way I could hit knowing - much less seeing - my face enlarged to such an enormous capacity bigger than King Kong, especially with my current statistics littered throughout the screen eligible enough for an astronaut in outer space to read.
In addition, the worst is if you have a ridiculous looking head shot (i.e. Jeff Francoeur). Or if you're Johnson, who looks like he just woke up from a nap before the photographer snapped his picture. (For those of you who have been to a game this year, you know exactly what I'm talking about.)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the reason why fans went to the baseball games was to watch the action - live - on the field?
Unfortunately, I'm partial to the colossal display; it looks amazing and is fun to view, but at the same time it's inappropriate. The screen is just too distracting, whether or not a player wants to admit it.
But it's not going anywhere any time soon, so players and fans like myself need to learn to live with it - or the infamous Turner Field "Kiss Cam" will hunt you down and post your picture for the entire universe to view.

Countries have been going to war against each other for as long as there have been countries, or groups of people for that matter. And the reason was always the same: to steal things from another country, or to defend your country from having it's stuff stolen. It may seem hard to believe these days but a couple of hundred years ago, respectable countries were really no more than pirates. If a British ship was carrying, for example coffee, a French ship would shoot at it, and if it won the battle, take the stuff away. Whatever people had, other people wanted to get, and it took force to get it and force to defend it.
It made economic sense for countries to go to war. If they won, they got stuff. A lot more than what it cost for battleships, bullets, that sort of thing. As soon as you conquered another country, you could take all their stuff, and it was mostly gold. This all changed in the twentieth century, after World War II.
If you ever wondered what Japan was thinking in 1941 in attacking a country like the USA, well, they were hoping to get our stuff. It seems strange to us now, but that's why countries went to war, especially if they thought that they would be attacking a weak opponent. This may have seen dastardly and cowardly in retrospect, but historically speaking, this is what countries did. They beat up each other and took the loser's stuff. And if you started a fight and lost, which is what Japan did, you expected to lose your stuff.
But it didn't happen that way. When the USA won, they didn't take spoils of war from Japan, or Germany, or Italy. Hey, we already had a lot of stuff! This must have really confused the old-timers back then. In fact, the USA helped out the countries that it defeated, helped rebuild cities that had been destroyed in the war, helped people who had been hurt. In fact, many people today say that the USA didn't help enough. But that they helped at all was a brand-new idea for a victorious country. No country in the history of warfare had ever done that.
It was quite an achievement.

Battle of Fort Sumter
The first battle of the Civil War was at Fort Sumter. The North was attacked by surprise. The Union had little squares in the fort so they could shoot at the south. Less than ten soldiers died from the north and south. Two union soldiers died and four confederate soldiers were hurt. The Confederate side won the battle.

As life and death events, an uncertain future, and startling truths draw Hudson and Seb to each other yet again, they must make a choice: trust their love and take strength from what they share, or lose what matters most for good this time.
Since when were we waiting for Seb's and Hudson's story? It seems decades…but finally, it's here…and I loved it! Every single word of it!
We know our sweet Hudson from quite the beginning of this series. He was always present, in the background, in almost every book, if not in all. We knew him as an English bloke, always calm, always with two feet on the ground. But we knew little about his background. Now, in this book, we will find out more…much more. Then with time, we learned that actually, Hudson is Sebastian Hobbs marked mate, but unfortunate events set them apart. Well, actually, Hudson set them apart, and we will learn why.
Even though Hudson decided to go separates ways, he can't, he just can't have anybody else in his life. He can't move on, because…well…Seb is his mate!
Sebastian Hobbs, Team Leader for Theta Destructive, is tired of being apart from Hudson. He's going out of his mind that he can't be there 24/7 to protect his mate from the possible threats. Then when he gets called by Lieutenant Sonya Sparks, who offers him an interesting deal, Seb, very Therian like, told her to shove it. He doesn't want to become a puppet of hers. But the threats are there, Hudson is in danger and the knowledge that his mate is stalked by Wolf, who tortured and almost killed Dex, doesn't help either.
Events bring them together, events I know you wanna know but I'm not telling you…what?! Me?! mean?! Wow…I never expected from you to hear that…I'm offended!
No spoilers guys, but I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Although tissues needed! So go to your favorite shop and stock yourself with it…you'll cry…a lot…the book is amazing. The story of these two is the most emotional of the series.
We learn about more characters too like Dom or Wolf. The Hobbs family…and the end…oh my, the end…tissues guys, tissues!

Prostate Cancer, Treatment, and the 9/11 Cancer Fund
February 20, 2015Simone Meyer9/11 Cancers
Prostate cancer was added to the list of covered cancers eligible for treatment by the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) in October 2013 and also for compensation by the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (sometimes called the 911 Cancer Fund). Prostate cancer and other 9/11 related cancers and conditions have been prevalent among first responders who were exposed to multitudes of carcinogens during the rescue and cleanup operations after 9/11.
9/11 Responders and Cancer Studies
In April 2013, a medical journal highlighted the results of a five year study of 9/11 first responders. These rescue and recovery workers were 15% more likely to have thyroid cancer, multiple myeloma and prostate cancer. In early 2013, however, prostate cancer was not on the list of cancers eligible for treatment or compensation. 911 Cancer Fund lawyers and advocates were hearing from 9/11 responders with prostate cancer seeking treatment and compensation and notifying them that neither the WTCHP nor the 9/11 Cancer Fund could help them.
That all changed when prostate cancer was added to the list of 9/11-related cancers under the 911 Cancer Fund in October 2013. Now, 9/11 responders and survivors diagnosed with prostate cancer before October 21, 2013 have until October 21, 2015 to register with the 911 Cancer Fund. If diagnosed after October 21, 2013, that individual has two years from the date of diagnosis to register.
Prostate Cancer: Eligible for Treatment But Not Screening?
Since being added to the list of cancers eligible for treatment, however, reports have noted that WTCHP centers like Mt. Sinai are not screening for prostate cancer among responders and survivors. Curiously, a spokesperson for Mount Sinai stated that they did not screen for it because of "national guidelines." But added that, "diagnostic, specialty consultation and treatment services are available for prostate-cancer patients through the WTCHP." (Nypost.com). Many responders and survivors will have to rely on their primary care physicians to either diagnose the prostate cancer or refer them to an urologist.
It is not only first responders who are being diagnosed with prostate cancer due to their exposure to the dust and smoke in the aftermath of 9/11. Wall Street traders, office workers and residents of Lower Manhattan are making claims with the 911 Cancer Fund as well. Responders, clean up workers, and survivors diagnosed with prostate cancer who have not registered with the 911 Cancer Fund should do so as soon as possible.

Assassin's Creed Wrap Up
I finally reserved a few hours to finish up on Assassin's Creed. Yawn... all this cheap pseudo-science crap was really getting on my nerves towards the end. It seems that every stupid conspiracy theory ever invented has been stuffed into AC's "story".
The game itself was actually quite a chore during the last few hours, because nothing really unexpected or new happened (yes, the game tries to have some sort of a surprise ending, but one can see this coming from a mile away). For the little variety the game-play offers, the game just feels too long IMHO. Everything is just too stretched-out. Overall it's a pretty good game, but now that it's over I feel somewhat ... unsatisfied. The fact that the game doesn't seem to have a real ending doesn't help either. Yes, I discovered the credits ... but what the hell now?
an 23:09 1 comment:
Holy shit, Mass Effect is f*cking E-P-I-C. The "acting" and story-telling is better then in any Star Wars movie, game-play is (surprisingly) very Deus Ex'ish. The last 2 or 3 hours are simply breathtaking (I clocked in at about 36 hours with most of the side quests). Mass Effect is simply one of the best games ever made. There are some technical glitches (most notable and annoying is the extreme texture popup, especially after loading a saved game and at the beginning of some cutscenes... only low-detail textures are displayed while the high-detail textures are streamed in, sometimes it takes several seconds until everything looks right). There's also some stuttering during game play (most likely also loading related). The graphics quality is a mixed bag, some of the less important NPCs look very bad compared to the extremely detailed and convincing main characters, most of the environment graphics looks last-gen, interestingly one of them (Ilos) looks extremely good, almost like it has been done by a different team, or the designers had a lot more time reserved for this one location. But all in all these are just very tiny flaws and don't stop the game from being an absolute masterpiece.

Like it is for most women one of the most stressful events of your day can be picking out what to wear. You search through your closet and although you know there are tons of options none of them seem to look right. So what should you keep in mind when picking out your rehearsal dinner outfit?
The Event- The type of rehearsal dinner you are having can drastically affect what you wear. Backyard BBQ? Dress in comfortable jeans or a sundress. Hotel restaurant? Wear a black elegant dress. Just don't show up to a back yard rehearsal in stilettos.
The Future You- Yes leggings are making a comeback but haven't we learned from that. Being trendy always has the inevitable embarrassment to the future you. Don't forget that these photos you will look back on for the rest of your life. So perhaps this event you should stick to a classic look, trust me future you will thank you.
Comfort- Everyone wants to look great but we all know that if you walk out in something you are clearly uncomfortable in everyone can see it on your face. So maybe save the uncomfortable lace shoes for another day.

- Things You Can't Google
By FonePaw | Jan 21 , 2020
Google is one of the largest publishers in the world, but it's also one of the biggest censors. Some censorship is expected – the company doesn't want its platform to be hijacked for other people's ends. But the scale of Google's censorship efforts has some people alarmed.
Auto Incomplete
Google's autocomplete feature tries to work out what you are going to search for before you've finished typing it. This enables users to shave literal seconds off the time it takes them to begin their search. At the same time, it makes Google look exceedingly clever.
Naturally, there are some terms that Google has censored – profanity, for example. And if you want to search for more, let's say, 'specialist' videos, Google isn't going to autocomplete your fetish for you. However, some of the terms that appear to be blacklisted have left users perplexed.
Words like 'bisexual', 'trans', and even 'clitoris' seem to be included in the blacklist and there are no autocomplete suggestions for them. These autocomplete searches aren't just time-savers - they also show what other people have been searching for and can, therefore, be used to influence users' thoughts and behavior.
Map Madness
Google Maps is one of Google's best products, hands-down. Having a GPS built into your smartphone makes it easy to navigate the world. Coupled with Google Earth and Google Street View, users can explore the entirety of the globe from their devices.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about this. Many people have gone to great lengths to avoid their details making their way onto the wider internet, only for a Google Street View Car to roll past and photograph them.
To be fair, there are many properties that the search engine giant has removed from Google Earth and Google Street View, sometimes at the owner's request. In some cases, the properties included military installations, and it would be problematic to have their satellite images free for anyone to access.
YouTube enables users to report any videos that contain inappropriate content so that they can be reviewed by Google's staff, who will then decide if they violate Google's ToS. Simple, right? Well, no.
According to a report by Gizmodo, there is no discernible rhyme or reason to Google's censorship – the system simply doesn't work well at all, at it looks like as if it's run by an algorithm instead of human beings.
Account Blocks
Over the years, Google has introduced a variety of new services its users can take advantage of. These have gradually been consolidated into a single platform and Google users can access any of the company's products from a single place. This is fantastic from a convenience perspective, but it's also the digital equivalent of putting all your eggs in one basket.
If Google decides that you have fallen foul of its byzantine ToS agreement, it can set the basket on fire and then stamp on all your eggs at once. Incurring a Google ban, regardless of the underlying cause, can have serious repercussions for those who rely upon Google's products professionally.
In fact, Google's ToS basically say that they can "stop providing Services to you … at any time." So, technically, you don't even need to do anything wrong in order to get banned.
The Only Good News Is No News
Google News is a news aggregation service that pulls together stories from a multitude of different sources. Users can tell the app which sources they like and which ones they don't. Over time, Google News will reliably bring up the headlines most relevant to the user while leaving the less relevant ones buried at the bottom.
Unfortunately, without any human guidance, Google News has been known to throw up articles from places like Breitbart. In theory, the user is able to guide the app and decide what sort of content they want to see. However, in 2014, Google suddenly withdrew its News App from Spain after a new law was passed that would have required Google to pay news sources for scraping their content. Google's withdrawal led to a significant drop in traffic to Spanish news sources from the app.
With Friends Like These…
Much to the chagrin of its employees, Google has worked tirelessly in recent years to ensure that mommy and daddy, more commonly known as Russia and China, are happy with their work. Like many other US businesses that above all seem to value money, Google has tailored its products for more authoritarian markets, scrubbing results to comply with local censorship laws.
The Russian state media and communications bureau – Roskomnadzor – maintains a blacklist of websites that Russian ISPs are required to block. The blacklist contains websites that deal in pornography, weapons, and drugs. But it has also increasingly been used to remove access to websites considered damaging to the Russian government.
"We're committed to enabling access to information for the benefit of our users in Russia and around the world," said a Google spokesperson. Not long after, an employee revolt forced them to shelve plans for a CPC-friendly version of their search engine for the Chinese market.
Like other US businesses, Google is drunk on the market expansion. The thought of reaching an extra billion people is too tempting, even if it means contributing to the oppression of people and, in some cases, the annihilation of their cultures. Whether for their own benefit or for the benefit of local governments, Google is all too happy to enact censorship to protect its brand and profits.


Home/Gadgets/Which iPad should you get for yourself in 2018?
Since the time Apple started restructuring its company philosophy, they decided that they should make just one product as per category and ensure doing it right. The portfolio of Apple has been growing since then as the philosophy seems to have worked. During the iPhone 4s days, people just had a choice between a black iPhone and another white but now times have changed and now there are plenty of tablets, phones and computers from which you can choose. From mammoth sizes to super portable ones, there are different levels of hardware to choose from.
Now that this is the age of iPads and tablets, you must be eager to know your options when you're going to purchase an iPad or a tab. Here is a detailed guide on the iPads that you can get for 2018.
iPad Pro 10.5 would be the BEST option!
If you wanted a perfect balance between price, power, portability and accessories, this is it! If there is any iPad which is home to the most powerful hardware, the iPad Pro 10.5 is the one. The stereo sound and quad speakers will give you a surround sound which will change the way you listened to music. This iPad supports Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil and thin bezels are something that should be talked of about this piece of wonder! However, it comes at a huge price and the fact that Keyboard and Pencil aren't included seems to disappoint the users to some extent. The iPad Pro 10.5 is priced at $649 for the 64GB version and for the 512GB version, the price is at $1129. Experts suggest you to opt for the former option in case you're tight on your budget.
If you're someone who just wants to have a tablet which is available at a cheaper price, the iPad Air 2 is the one that you should go for. In case you had been looking at iPad 9.7, you should know that the Air 2 is lighter and thinner than the iPad 9.7 and it has also got a display which is coated with anti-glare. The LTE models or the ones with larger options for storage can be found at a price which is less than iPad 9.7. However, the only thing that is not as perceived in the Air 2 is that the hardware is an aging one and there are no stereo speakers for getting that surround sound. You can get refurbished versions of iPad Air 2 units which you can get at around $260 for the ones with 16GB RAM.
This is one of the lightest and smallest iPad which you can grab at a cheaper cost but not on some Apple Store. If you're someone who wishes to hold a tablet with just one hand and use it while on bed without having the risk of dropping it on your face, the iPad Mini 4 is the best option for you. This one is the most current one in the line but the hardware has not been updated in the last few years. Apple A8 powers this iPad and it has got a 2GB RAM. In case you get it from an Apple Store, you will only have to choose from the option of 128 GB at $399.
Therefore, now that you have your options in front of you, which one should you opt for? Take into account the pros and cons of each before making the decision.

As a pioneer in the introduction of motorcycle navigators to the market, Garmin now has close to a decade of research and development as well as customer feedback to draw on in the development of new models. Representing the third generation of its Zumo series of motorcycle navigators, the Garmin Zumo 390LM is faster, more responsive, and has a new look as well as some interesting new features. Considered as a whole, the changes introduced with the 390LM would appear to be aimed at creating a more simplified and user friendly product.
An upgraded version of this item is now available. Click here to read the Garmin Zumo 395LM review.
Hands-free phone control and spoken directions via Bluetooth
Curvy roads routing
Lane assist with junction view
TracBack
Compatible with tire pressure monitoring system
No MP3 player or picture viewer
As one of two devices in the 300 series, the other being the base model 350LM, the 390LM was the first new model to be released in several years, not as a replacement but as an alternative to the 660LM, which is, however, likely nearing the end of its long production run. At first glance, the most obvious difference between the two models is in basic outline, the rounded lines of the 390LM in stark contrast to the rectangular shape of the 660LM. While sharing the same 4.3" screen size, it presents a substantially slimmer profile and is the lighter of the two models. It is also distinguished by the ribbed black-rubber coating applied to the case, making it more durable and less prone to chips and scratches.
The wiring harness is another example of the streamlined approach adopted by Garmin with the introduction of this model. The wiring harness for the 660LM includes multiple wires for power, USB, microphone, and headphones, whereas the 390LM has easily accessible, built-in connections for these (except microphone), and a power supply cable consisting of just 2 wires.
In developing the 390LM, it appears Garmin has narrowed its focus by concentrating on improving core functions while at the same time eliminating some non-essential ones offered on previous models. The user interface also benefits from this approach and features intuitively designed, and highly customizable layouts for the various menus and map views. The 390LM's interface is built around the "Where To?" set of functions which organizes potential destinations according to different categories, including a wide range of points of interest, and address. These can then be searched on the basis of their location, either your current location, or a different city. Apps are conveniently grouped together on a separate screen and include some new features such as TracBack and a service history log. The former is particularly useful if you become lost or disorientated while riding off-road and can direct you back to your exact starting point while the latter allows you to record details of your bike's maintenance history.
Although designed primarily as a motorcycle navigator, the 390LM is equally at home in your car having internal speakers for spoken directions, and comes equipped with an automotive mount and power cable. When in motorcycle mode the display changes to a more glove friendly version with larger keys and the screen has been especially designed for sunlit conditions. While not perfect, this last claim made with regard to screen readability is closer to the mark than in previous models which are sometimes difficult to read when viewing in bright sunlight.
At up to 7 hours, battery life is second only to Garmin's entry level model, the Zumo 220, and 1 hour more than the TomTom Rider. Unlike earlier models, the 390LM is a sealed unit with a non-replaceable battery allowing for a more efficient and compact design. While there are those who will, no doubt, lament the lack of a replaceable battery, it could be argued that, on balance, the advantages do not work out so decisively in its favor as might be expected. As with all aspects of technology, batteries undergo a continuous process of improvement and the most recent examples can reasonably be expected to last somewhere close to the life of the devices which they power.
Bluetooth, Storage, and Notable Features
The proliferation of smart phones with a wide range of capabilities has meant that features such as MP3 players have become, to some extent at least, redundant on dedicated GPS devices. This is especially true when you consider most smart phones can perform those same functions better, and with the increasing number of apps offering free GPS navigation, companies like Garmin have little choice but to concentrate on their key strengths in order to stay relevant.
In keeping with the strategy outlined above, the 390LM has no MP3 player or picture viewer, both of which are found on the 660LM and 665LM. There is, however, a microSD card slot allowing for additional storage of routes, up to 100 of which can be stored in the on-board memory. The device can be paired via bluetooth with a compatible cell phone and headset/helmet for hands-free calling, and for listening to spoken directions. Although it's true most modern GPS systems do have bluetooth, not all offer the convenience of hands-free calling, something worth considering when choosing a device. There are numerous other features, the most noteworthy of these being an innovative tire pressure monitoring system, Exit Services, Lane Assist, and Junction View, and, as a bonus, Garmin offers free lifetime map updates with every unit sold.
Although still expensive, the 390LM is positioned towards the lower end of the price scale relative to the other models in the Garmin Zumo series, and has a good number of useful features. This, together with the improved performance and user interface, make it an excellent choice for those seeking a dedicated motorcycle GPS.

As I would be new to using a nav system on my Adventure Bike and hopefully on my snowmobile.
Will this unit show back road and off grid trails?
Can it show snowmobile trails, OFSC and the like?
Can I down load adventure routes such as the TCAT trail or the trans America trail?
Hi Randy, sorry for my late reply. There are off-road and snowmobile trail maps compatible with most Garmin Zumo models. Check out this website for more information.

Rail & Coach News
Network Rail closes 500th level crossing
Network Rail has closed 500 level crossings across Britain since April 2009 and intends to close a further 250 by 31 March 2014.
This marks a significant milestone in the company's programme to close as many user worked crossings as possible and reduce the level of risk on the network where roads and pathways cross the railway.
User worked crossings are mostly private crossings, not public rights of way, and while mainly located in rural areas, many cross busy main lines. The barriers or gates need to be operated by the person crossing and not the railway and warning measures include miniature warning lights, signs or telephones. In many cases an alternative access for the user is either available or has been provided to secure closure.
Robin Gisby, managing director for network operations for Network Rail said: "In closing these 500 crossings we have removed the risk of a vehicle or person being struck by a train at these locations and improved safety across the network for everyone working or travelling by rail. While this is good progress, there is much more to be done. We aim to close a further 250 by April 2014 and we will work to further improve other crossings across the network and continue to raise awareness of the dangers of misuse.
"Closing a level crossing is not always an easy process, and we often need the support of land owners, local authorities and users. I hope we can count on their continued support as we look to improve safety and modernise the rail network for the future."

Baton Rouge, La. (AP) - Rodney Alexander, the dean of Louisiana's U.S. House delegation, is keeping his northeast Louisiana-based congressional seat after handily defeating two challengers.
A Republican from Quitman, Alexander didn't receive much organized opposition from the two men running against him for the 5th District seat in Tuesday's election.
Political newcomer Clay Grant, a Libertarian, and Ron Ceasar, an Opelousas independent who lost a bid for governor last year, didn't report fundraising in their attempts to unseat Alexander.
Alexander, a contractor, was first elected to Congress in 2002. He'll be entering his sixth term.
All or part of 24 parishes are in the rural 5th District, which covers northeast Louisiana, the Alexandria area and parts of the state that run along the Mississippi state line.

Southbound: Photographs of and About the New South
It is such a pleasure to introduce Southbound: Photographs of and about the New South. Over the next week, we will feature selections of images from each of the 56 artists included in the project, as well as accompanying essays, maps, and videos. This expansive, comprehensive, multimedia investigation into what it means to be of, from, by the American South in the first decades of the twenty-first century was co-curated by Mark Sloan director and chief curator of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, and Mark Long, professor of political science, both of whom are on the faculty of the College of Charleston, in South Carolina.
According to Mark Sloan and Mark Long, "Southbound embraces the conundrum of its name. To be southbound is to journey to a place in flux, radically transformed over recent decades, yet also to the place where the past resonates most insistently in the United States. To be southbound is also to confront the weight of preconceived notions about this place, thick with stereotypes, encoded in the artistic, literary, and media records. Southbound engages with and unsettles assumed narratives about this contested region by providing fresh perspectives for understanding the complex admixture of history, geography, and culture that constitutes today's New South."
In their multidisciplinary approach, the curators honor the complexity of the region and the many different perspectives that constitute the Southern identity. The project comprises fifty-six photographers' visions of the South, complemented by a commissioned video, a digital mapping environment, extensive public programming, a two-hour Mixcloud playlist, an all-encompassing stand-alone website, and a comprehensive exhibition catalogue. A fuller picture of the project's components and the associated events is available on the project website here. Southbound was recently exhibited in its entirety at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Photography and the City Gallery in Charleston, and plans to travel to various locations across the South, first to Gregg Museum of Art & Design, NC State University + Power Plant Gallery, Duke University from September 5 – December 29, 2019, with other exhibitions planned into 2021.

At school children take part in regular P.E lessons and typically spend breaks and the lunch hour running round keeping active. It is important to continue with this healthy habit during school holidays. Encourage your children to take up a sport or attend a class a couple of times a week. This will ensure they are getting plenty of exercise and keeping busy with something to look forward to every week.
Some great summer holiday sports include- Trampolining, football classes, swimming and gymnastics. If your children are carrying out classes such as trampolining or gymnastics ensure wherever they are doing this has appropriate equipment such as safety mats.
Joining a summer club means children will make new friends and have their weekly meeting to look forward to. From Brownies and Scouts to film club, there will be some great children's clubs local to you, it's just a case of doing some research and visiting the various clubs in order to find a club your child will enjoy. When visiting potential clubs make sure you check various things such as the activities carried out and the safety measures in place such as first aid and safety mats for activities.
At school your children are encouraged to spend lots of time outside in the fresh air being active. During the summer holidays children can get into the habit of sitting indoors in front of the TV. Encourage them to play outside with new and fun activities that don't have to cost a bomb.
On a hot day try recreating a pool side atmosphere. Buy a small paddling pool and fill it up. You can buy water sides cheaply too, these just slot onto the end of your current slide. Make slippery with water and a little washing up liquid. Your children will have fun running back and forth to go down the slide all day. Invest in safety mats to ensure there are no accidents when they are running around.
The key to keeping your children busy during the long summer holiday is to choose activities such as clubs and classes that they can attend every week. This way they have something to look forward to and it's something to do every week rather than a one off!

Postal Banking
August 31, 2017 Blairpublic policy Leave a comment
In most of the developed world today, as well as a fair swath of middle-income and developing countries, you can walk into any government post office and after posting a letter or buying stamps, also deposit money into a savings account that is safe, secure, fully insured, and most of all, free.
"Postal banking" is a phenomenon that most Americans today don't recognize, but in much of the world, it's almost the definition of mundane. In the UK, Germany, Japan, South Africa, Korea, India, the Netherlands, China and France, just to name a few, the national postal system also offers basic financial services. Depending on the country, these range from no-frills savings accounts to checking and bill-paying services, to more sophisticated stuff like small loans, money transfer and forms of insurance.
Postal banking is an old idea whose utility for America has returned. We should bring it back, updated for the 21st century. It represents a big solution to two major problems Americans face today: first, and most importantly, low-income communities are seriously "underbanked." The FDIC finds that over a quarter of Americans either have no access to the banking system or must obtain financial products outside of it (ex. payday loans). Second, the U.S. Postal Service has been teetering on the edge of crisis for years, as legal strictures imposed by Congress starve it of funds and the overall volume of mail decreases. Postal banking would go a long way to restoring its stability.
With large swaths of low-income Americans feeling shut out of the economic growth story happening in much of the country, reviving postal banking should be one part of any progressive agenda to build greater economic resilience and strengthen the social safety net.
Something I didn't realize until very recently was that the U.S. actually had a postal banking system for over half a century. Proponents finally overcame decades of opposition by the commercial banking lobby in 1911, and the United States Postal Savings System quickly became a popular banking option for low-income and immigrant communities. During its history, the USPSS provided a critical means for alleviating the Great Depression and for selling war bonds during World War II. Soldiers stationed abroad used the system extensively, as did rural communities where banking institutions were much rarer than they are today.
The USPSS was wound down in the mid-60s due to industry pressure that rightly pointed out that the FDIC system made consumer banking more secure and that retail banking locations served rural areas much more extensively than fifty years prior. But it's hard not to read its demise as strongly influenced by the banking industry's desire to capture more deposits.
Since then, of course, the American banking system has become significantly unfriendlier to low-income people. Between industry deregulation and increased financial pressure, many major banks have shuttered locations in low-income areas to focus on selling higher-margin financial products to more upscale customers. These "banking deserts" are increasingly served by higher-cost "alternative" financial services forms, most famously the predatory payday lending industry. As usual, John Oliver has the best overview of this industry, which 1 out of 20 Americans – more than 12 million – use. It's a $9 billion industry. Go to the downtrodden section of any major city, near any military base or to any struggling small town, and you'll find a large number of these storefront joints charging outrageous rates of interest, which borrowers rarely understand and wind up trapping them in toxic cycles of debt.
Besides payday lending (and its not-much-better cousin, the check-cashing operations), many large consumer banks have become much less interested in providing basic financial services, which makes it much tougher for many underbanked households to obtain plain old checking and savings accounts. Consumer banks have proven remarkably "innovative" in finding new opportunities to tack on fees for previously unremarkable services. Unless you carry a minimum balance and/or have a direct deposit set up, Bank of America now charges $12 a month for a checking account. Industry research suggests that it costs most banks between $200-$300 to provide a retail checking account, and in an era of low interest rates, the industry is less interested in ever in providing those services for free.
(Parenthetically, I personally use an online-only bank. They don't charge me fees, but I have a direct deposit set up. I also have the means to connect to them with my computer on a reliable internet connection pretty much anytime.)
Much more representative of the state of consumer banking is the ongoing saga we see today at Wells Fargo. In case you hadn't heard, Wells Fargo was busted by regulators last year for a wide-ranging scandal involving fraudulent accounts and product cross-sells that retail sales personnel opened for customers who hadn't agreed to them. Just the other day, the results of a review going back to 2009 discovered that 1.4 million more fraudulent accounts had been discovered – almost double what had previously been known. Wells Fargo has fought regulators at every step of the investigation. Although knowledge of the abusive practices is known to have started as early as 2002, and was actively stoked at high levels of the company, there is little chance the review will be expanded that far back.
While Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf opted for early retirement over the scandal, he took home a package valued at around $130 million. The bank, which last year brought in almost $22 billion in net income, has paid around $7 million to defrauded customers in refunds. Make no mistake: millions of customers were defrauded of far more than $7 million. None of the bank executives who instigated, permitted, overlooked or even encouraged this behavior will suffer any penalty. Warren Buffett (the largest investor in Wells Fargo) is right: the "cockroach rule" would seem to apply here. Where you see a few bad actors like this, dozens or hundreds are likely behind the walls.
I suspect that Wells Fargo is not uniquely awful in the consumer banking industry. They are under the same investor pressures to widen margins, cut costs and increase sales as are any other bank. These pressures systematically lead to worse consumer welfare, particularly for low-income Americans, who pose less of a sales opportunity. There should be a better way.
Take a second and look at this page for the United Kingdom's postal bank. It's not exactly fancy, but it's quite suitable many basic needs. It's a good demonstration that postal banking is not some radical idea. As I said earlier, in most other countries, it's quite ordinary.
Postal banking is one of those blindingly obvious, no-brainer solutions that would be a giant boon to millions of Americans (sort of like no-return tax filing). It's also, frankly, really unlikely to happen. It would require a non-trivial act of Congress that directly challenged the banking lobby and provided a new public service (albeit one that was actually revenue-positive), which, in today's climate, basically makes it DOA. Almost no one would disagree with this assessment, I think, which is one of the things that makes me less than optimistic about the course of our politics for the foreseeable future.
But at least we can put the right ideas out there. Right?

Success! Kenganzi from Uganda raised $220 to fund a cystectomy.
Kenganzi's treatment was fully funded on May 31, 2021.
Kenganzi's story
Kenganzi's update
Kenganzi underwent a cystectomy.
Kenganzi underwent a cystectomy treatment for her ovarian mass. The surgery relieved her from pain and reduces the chance of the mass becoming cancerous.
Kenganzi shared: "I couldn't manage the cost of this surgery on my own. May the Lord bless you abundantly and I hope to continue with farming."

Kenganzi is a mother of three from western Uganda. Her children all attend school. Currently, she works on her banana plantation, while her husband works as a bodaboda moto driver earning a limited income to support their family.
For the past four years, Kenganzi has unknowingly struggled with an ovarian cyst. Initially, she began to feel a palpable mass on her right lower abdominal section. Kenganzi also experienced pain when lying on her right side, and whenever she strained during farming, she would feel it more severely. This significantly affected her productivity on the farm. As the pain became more severe, Kenganzi decided to come to our Medical Partner's Care Center Nyakibale Hospital for review. Doctors had her undergo a pelvic scan, and the results showed that she had an ovarian cyst requiring a cystectomy surgery to remove it. However, Kenganzi and her family are not able to afford the cost of this procedure and appeal for financial support.
Kenganzi will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. Fortunately, she is scheduled to undergo a cystectomy on April 23rd. African Mission Healthcare is requesting $220 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care. Once recovered, she will be free of pain and will be able to return to farming on the plantation.
Kenganzi shared, "My desire is to get the surgery to correct my condition. With full recovery, I will be more productive on the farm to help raise our three children with better quality of life."

On average, it costs $220 for Kenganzi's treatment
Saray is a 16-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. His parents are rice farmers, and he has an older brother and an older sister. When he is not working, he enjoys playing football, volleyball and games on his phone. He also likes to sing with his friends. Four months ago, while playing football, Saray fell on his shoulder and a mass appeared and grew quickly. A biopsy revealed that he has osteosarcoma of the shoulder, a rare type of bone cancer in which cancerous cells produce irregular bone. Although osteosarcoma is rare, it is the most common childhood bone cancer. He cannot move his shoulder and experiences persistent bone pain. Fortunately, a CT scan revealed that cancer has not yet spread. This diagnosis is very difficult for a young man with his whole life ahead of him. When Saray's parents learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled there to see a specialist. On December 8th, surgeons at CSC will perform a shoulder disarticulation procedure, during which they will separate his entire arm from the shoulder joint. This procedure will remove the mass, avoid metastasis, and allow Saray to seek further treatment. Now, he and his family need help raising $446 to fund his procedure and care. Saray shared that he hopes that cancer will not reappear after the mass is gone, and he can be without pain.
Afifi is a 25-year-old electrician. He lives at home with his parents and is the oldest child in his family. He has one younger brother, and two younger sisters. His parents work as rice farmers. In his spare time, he likes to play football and listen to popular songs on his phone. Three weeks ago, Afifi had a traumatic eye injury at work when a piece of metal flew into his eye. The retina of Afifi's left eye detached, causing him pain, and blurry vision. Surgeons suspect a globe tumor and/or a retinal detachment. When Afifi learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On December 13th, eye surgeons will perform a retinal detachment repair procedure in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $648 procedure. Afifi shared, "I am worried I will lose my eye, and won't be able to work. I hope that I will be able to see again, and no longer have pain."
Khouch is an active six-year-old boy who lives with his parents and has two younger siblings. He is not yet in school, but enjoys playing with toy cars and is learning to ride his bike. His parents both work in construction to support the family. A week ago, Khouch had a seizure and injured his eye. Khouch has now developed a cataract in his left eye, and he cannot see clearly. It is difficult for him to eat, to walk, to recognize faces, and to go anywhere outside. When Khouch's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On January 10th, doctors will perform lensectomy and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he and his family need help to fund this $229 procedure. Khouch's mother shared, "I hope the doctors can treat my son, so he can regain his vision. I want him to go to school and be healthy like other children."

France Recalls Ambassadors to the United States and Australia in Protest of Submarine Deal
He also said that until Mr. Macron received a letter Wednesday morning from the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, telling him the French submarine deal was scrapped, Australia had given no indication that it would pull out of the deal.
Australia had asked in June whether France believed its attack-class submarines were still up to meeting the threats they might face, and accepted French reassurances that they were, he said. American officials have suggested Australia made clear to France as early as June that the deal was dead.
Australia said in a statement on Saturday that it "understands France's deep disappointment," The Associated Press reported. The statement, from Foreign Minister Marise Payne's office, said the country's decision "was taken in accordance with our clear and communicated national security interests."
American officials have conceded that they first informed the French about the deal on Wednesday morning, hours before Mr. Biden announced it. They also said that top American officials had tried, unsuccessfully, to schedule meetings with their French counterparts before news of the deal leaked in the Australian and American press — a mirror image of the French claim.
In the face of a disastrous imbroglio, both sides were trying to pass the blame. It appeared clear, however, that France had been blindsided by friends on an issue of critical strategic and economic importance.
In a briefing with reporters on Friday before the recall announcement by the French government, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, downplayed the damage to the relationship between the two countries.
"As the president said, we cooperate closely with France on shared priorities both in the Indo-Pacific region and we'll continue to do so here in the Security Council," she said. "Good friends have disagreements, but that's the nature of friendship and that's — because you're friends, you can have disagreements and continue to work on those areas of cooperation."
