Smule app Archives

The Microsoft App Store, what’s not to love? I love apps and I love free things – that really work. If you have not checked out the Microsoft Store attached to your Windows 10 desktop product, I encourage you to take a look.

Here are several that I use nearly daily – that really work and are really free.

9Zip
Need a free zip utility, tired of buying a zip tool when you really feel that there should be a free one out there that’s easy to use? Get 9Zip from the Microsoft Store. It is easy to use and I am using my version replacing my paid version of WinZip.

HP Scan and Capture
Now this is one super handy app. I use it more than the software that came with my HP printer. The super easy to use interface talks right to your printer and scanner and you are up and running in a snap!

Free Games
Need a solitaire break? Love interactive puzzles? The Microsoft Store has you covered, and many for free. I don’t have any games installed yet as I just upgraded my drives and need to reinstall programs and apps, but my first pick will be the Microsoft App Store.

(P.S. I am not being paid by Microsoft for this review, I just love the Microsoft Store and wanted to share the things I liked best with you.)

It is classified as a maximum security confinement facility for males 21 years of age and older.

It also serves as a detention center for males 16 years of age or older and a diagnostic and treatment center.

Presently there are approximately 2,200 inmates confined at Sing Sing.

Sing Prison opened in 1826 to replace Newgate Prison in New York City.

Newgate, the first State prison, was established in 1797.

In addition to felons, the first individuals sent to Sing Sing included mentally incompetent and insane inmates who, by 1848, were all transferred to the Utica State Hospital.

In 1839, the Mount Pleasant Female Prison opened at Sing Sing with women being transferred there from Bellevue and Auburn. In 1877, this prison closed and women were sent to county penitentiaries until the new women's prison at Auburn was opened in 1893.
