Telecommunications in France is developed. France is served by an extensive system of automatic telephone exchanges connected by modern networks of fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable, microwave radio relay, a domestic satellite system; the telephony system employs an extensive system of modern network elements such as digital telephone exchanges, mobile switching centres, media gateways and signalling gateways at the core, interconnected by a wide variety of transmission systems using fibre-optics or Microwave radio relay networks. The access network, which connects the subscriber to the core, is diversified with different copper-pair, optic-fibre and wireless technologies; the fixed-line telecommunications market is dominated by the former state-owned monopoly France Telecom. Telephones - main lines in use: 36.441 million. All except Free are licensed for GSM. In 2016 Q3, Orange had 28.966 million mobile phone customers, SFR had 14.577 million, Bouygues had 12.660 million, Free Mobile had 12.385 million, the MVNOs had 7.281 million.

Before the launch of Free Mobile in January 2012, the number of physical mobile phone operators was limited. For example, Sweden has 4 licensed operators with their own networks despite a smaller and sparser population than France's, making improved coverage less economically rewarding. However, France has a number of MVNOs. However, Free Mobile obtained its licence in December 2009 and operates since January 2012. In France, the satellite telecommunications system TELECOM 1 will provide high-speed, broadband transfer of digital data between different sections of subscribing companies. Conventional telecommunications links between continental France and its overseas departments will be supplied.

{ Inquisitor varicosus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. The length of the shell varies between 60 mm; the whorls are smooth near the suture, longitudinally ribbed below, with large rude scattered varices. The sinus is rather deep; the ribs are grayish on a darker surface, sometimes brown. This marine species occurs off the Philippines, Sulawesi and Western Australia.. Weinkauff. Martini-Chemn. Conch.

The 1st Regiment of Washington Territory Volunteer Infantry was a unit of infantry raised by the Washington Territory for service in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Under Colonel Justus Steinberger, organization for a three-year regiment began on 19 October 1861, with recruiting taking place within the territory as well as California. Company A, B, C and D were organized at Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, Cal. January to April, 1862. By May 1862, four companies had been mustered, with 317 men. Ten companies would be raised, being mustered in from the end of March until December 1862; the majority of the volunteers would muster in at Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, two others doing so at Fort Vancouver and one at Fort Steilacoom, Washington. The headquarters for the regiment was first at Fort Vancouver, by July 1862 moved to Fort Walla Walla; the companies, and/or detachments thereof, were stationed throughout the territories of Washington and Idaho, in Oregon. They were used for the protection of miners and settlers, emigrant parties and other travellers along the roads from the east, participated with the 1st Oregon Cavalry in expeditions against Shoshone and other hostile Indian groups.

They were used to protect the Nez Perce, an ally of the United States, against those encroaching on their lands. When the three years terms of service had expired for the earlier formed companies and the men were mustered out, the remaining three companies became the 1st Battalion on 7 March 1865. Co H would be consolidated with Co E in July, was the last of the former Washington regiment to muster out of service in December; as the companies were detached and participated in individual operations, their service records are best if listed separately: Company A Organized 21 March 1862, they were stationed at Fort Walla Walla. Being recruited for a two-year term, some of the men were leaving or reenlisting in early 1864. Once replaced by a company of the 1st Oregon Infantry, they left to be mustered out around February 1865. Company B Organized 1 April 1862, they were stationed at Fort Colville until 25 May 1864, when ordered to Fort Walla Walla, they remained here until receiving orders for their return to Fort Vancouver for discharge in the spring of 1865.

Company C sent to Fort Colville for their term of service. They were mustered out at Fort Vancouver in April 1865. Company D Organized 12 April 1862, they were stationed at Fort Hoskins in Oregon by December 1862. Orders in March 1863 sent them to Fort Boise in Idaho Territory, where they remained stationed during their service. Company E Mustered in at Alcatraz, they were ordered on 19 October 1862 to Camp Lapwai, near the Nez Perce Agency. Here, they were to build their encampment in. By June 1864, they would be stationed at Fort Vancouver. Co H would be consolidated with them in July 1865, they would be the last of the Washington Territory volunteers to be mustered out, doing so on 11 Dec 1865. Company F Mustered at Fort Vancouver, the company was stationed at Fort Dalles, Oregon in 1863 and 1864; the majority of the troops were mustered out in July 1865. Company G One of the three Washington companies encamped at Fort Boise, Idaho Territory in March 1863 being at Fort Steilacoom. Company H Mustered at Alcatraz, they first encamped at Fort Walla Walla.

On 25 May 1864, they transferred to Fort Vancouver. On 22 July 1865, they would be consolidated with Company E. Company I Encamped at Ft Vancouver in December 1862, it transferred to Fort Boise in March 1863. With Company H, the 1st Oregon Cavalry and Nez Perce Scouts, they made an expedition to Snake River in early June, 1863 to clear the area of the Snake Indians, attacking travellers here for several years; as a band of emigrants, their US Army escort, were due to pass through the Emigrant Road in August, additional troops were called on for protection. The pass safely made, Company I returned to Fort Boise, where it remained until its mustering out on 20 November 1865. Company K Mustered in at Fort Steilacoom.

22740 Rayleigh, provisional designation 1998 SX146, is a Zhongguo asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 20 September 1998, by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at the La Silla Observatory in Chile, it is one of few asteroids located in the 2 : 1 resonance with Jupiter. The asteroid was named for Nobel laureate Lord Rayleigh. Rayleigh is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population, it is a member of the small group of Zhongguo asteroids, located in the Hecuba gap near 3.27 AU. Contrary to the nearby unstable Griqua group, the orbits of the Zhongguos are stable over half a billion years, it orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.5–3.9 AU once every 5 years and 10 months. Its orbit has an inclination of 3 ° with respect to the ecliptic; the body's observation arc begins with its observations as 1986 SN at Klet Observatory in September 1986, or 13 years prior to its official discovery observation at La Silla.

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Rayleigh measures 9.819 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.088. As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of Rayleigh has been obtained from photometric observations; the body's rotation period and shape remain unknown. This minor planet was named after English physicist John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, who discovered the noble gas argon and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904; the official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 June 2007. The lunar crater Rayleigh as well as the crater Rayleigh on Mars are named in his honor.
