Mary Rose, Musician

 

#WomenYouShouldKnow

Because Mary Rose has been blind since birth, attention to information from her other senses is raised; her "ear" for music is possibly elevated.

She was a member of the Austin, Texas-based group The Spinrockers, and is now is Kansas City.

Electric Police Bicycle

Leawood Police Department, Leawood, Kansas, is increasingly utilizing this eBike.

There are two lights: One flashes red and blue, the other white. The siren is the cylindrical object.

eBikes allow officers to more-easily patrol congested areas, narrow streets, and off-road locations. This means faster response times, and access to areas inaccessible to patrol cars.

Additionally, eBikes are quiet, make them effective for discretely approaching crime scenes.
