Travel App Article Features AANRmobile
USA Today

Travel apps provide a whole new way to see the world for vacationers and business travelers alike. According to Tech News World, there are now so many travel apps that it's hard to determine which will give the best information.

 

Finding the best apps to fit a traveler's needs is made even more difficult because flight and hotel apps are often listed first, leaving "the fun and wonky and offbeat apps buried somewhere underneath." To help travelers, Tech News World lists their choices for the best travel apps in different categories. AANRmobile, AANR's official iPhone app  created by Mark Strickland of SimplyBASICsoftware, is listed as one of five "Best Apps for Sightseeing."  

 

AANR is in good company in this category, appearing alongside the Walt Disney World travel guide; ShipMate, a cruise app; and the New York and London Museum Finder apps.

Heidi Klum Talks Nudity In The Home
Heidi KlumSupermodel and Project Runway star Heidi Klum has long been a proponent of nudity in appropriate settings. The German-born star has often commented in articles about how nudity is treated differently in European countries and how she and her husbad, pop singer Seal, have treated the subject of nudity in their home.

In a recent article posted on CafeMom, Klum describes what she tells her children about appropriate settings saying, "See, you

teach children that there is a proper time, place and etiquette to nudity. There are social reasons you CAN be naked HERE but CAN'T be naked THERE."

Top-Free Protesters Organize Toronto March
Toronto Protest

Top-free protestors marched at a Toronto park after the city denied them permission last month to go top-free in public. A spokesperson for GoTopless, the American non-profit organization organizing the event, said that the city's decision denies women the same rights as men to go top-free in public.

"This permit refusal represents gender discrimination, in which men are treated differently than women," Diane Brisebois said.

 

Brisebois said city officials wanted the Canadian chapter of the organization to hold the event on Hanlan's Point Beach, a nudist beach on Toronto Island. Brisebois said that she felt that would have defeated the group's purpose.

 

"The authorities maintain that top free women are nude, but that's exactly what we want to change. There is not more nudity in revealing one's breast than in revealing one's arm and this is what GoTopless Canada is trying to address."

 

Brisebois added that the city is "probably unaware that the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in 1996, that the act of going topless is not in itself a sexual or indecent act for either gender."
