How to Add Music from iTunes to iPod
Two Parts:Adding Music to Your iPodConnecting to iTunes for the First TimeCommunity Q&A
There's nothing more frustrating than when you've got plenty of great music in your iTunes account but you can't figure out how to transfer it to your iPod! iTunes can be a tricky, difficult program to work with, especially if you're associating an iPod with your computer's account for the very first time. If you're stuck, don't fret! This guide can help you "tune" up your Apple programs in no time. To start learning how to transfer music from your iTunes library to your iPod (as well as how to do this without using iTunes), see Step 1 below!
Part 1
Adding Music to Your iPod
1Connect your iPod and open iTunes. To begin the process of adding music to your iPod, open iTunes. If you haven't already connected your iPod, do so as soon as iTunes opens. Within a few moments, iTunes should recognize your device — you should see a small "iPod" button with a picture of an iPod appear in the upper right. Click this button.
- Note that for iPads, iPod Shuffles, and other iTunes-compatible devices, the process will be nearly the same, though the label on the button that appears will change.
2Click "Music" on the next screen. After clicking the "iPod" button, you'll see a screen displaying an array of information about your iPod, including its name, storage capacity, and several other options. We don't need to deal with any of these — simply click "Music" at the top of the window to proceed.
3Choose whether to sync your entire library or select songs. When it comes to putting music on your iPod, you have two options: iTunes can automatically transfer your entire library to your iPod, or it can allow you to manually choose which songs you want to add. Check the bubble next to "Entire music library" if you'd like to add your entire library, or check the bubble next to "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" if you'd like to pick your songs manually.
- At this point, you may also want to check the boxes for other miscellaneous options below. For instance, if you'd like to add any music videos you have in your library, check "Include music videos," and so on.
4If you chose to add manually, pick your playlists/artists. If you chose the manual option for adding songs to your iPod, you'll want to use the menus on the bottom half of the iTunes window to choose which songs you want to add. Scroll through the menus for playlists, artists, genres, and albums, checking the boxes next to the choices you'd like to add to your iPod.
- For instance, if you want to add all of your Al Green songs to your iPod, you would scroll through the list of artists until you found Al Green, then check the box next to his name. On the other hand, if you only wanted to add the songs from his greatest hits album, you would scroll through the list of albums until you found Greatest Hits by Al Green, then check the box next to it.
- Don't worry if some of your choices overlap — iTunes won't add the same song to your iPod twice.
5Click "Sync" to add your songs. Whether you chose the manual or automatic option for adding songs, click the "Sync" (short for "Synchronize") button on the bottom right of the screen when you're ready to add your songs to your iPod. iTunes should immediately begin to add the songs you selected to your iPod. You can monitor your progress by watching the progress bar that should appear at the top of the iTunes window.
- Don't disconnect your iPod during this process. This will disrupt the syncing process, preventing you from getting all of your songs. In addition, this can also cause iTunes to freeze or stop working properly.[1]
6Enjoy your music! Congratulations! You've successfully added songs to your iPod. To play your songs, disconnect your iPod, plug in a pair of headphones, select a song from the "Music" option at the bottom right of the iPod's main menu, and start listening.
- Note that, while this guide describes how to add music to your iPod, the process is nearly identical for other forms of media. For instance, if you want to add movies to your iPod, you would click "Movies" at the top of the iTunes window after clicking the "iPod" button, then proceed in basically the same fashion.
7Deselect your sync options to remove songs. To take songs off your iPod, connect it to your computer and proceed as you normally would to the Syncing screen. If it isn't already selected, click the bubble next to the "Manual" option for adding songs. Now, scroll through the windows of artists, playlists, etc. and uncheck the boxes next to the selections you'd like to remove from your iPod. When you're done, click "Sync" to apply your changes.
Part 2
Connecting to iTunes for the First Time
1Download and install iTunes. If you don't already have iTunes, you will probably want to download and install it before beginning. Though it's possible to add music to your iPod without iTunes (see above), this is by far the most common way to do so. In addition, iTunes is free, simple to download and install, and offers a variety of helpful features, including in-program access to the iTunes Store and options for automatically syncing your iPod library to the library on your computer.
- To download iTunes, simply visit iTunes.com and click the "Download iTunes" link in the upper right. Supply your email address and click "Download Now" to start the download.
2Connect your iPod to your computer. Your new iPod should be packaged with a white USB cord. This cord allows you to transfer media between your computer and the iPod. Connect the skinny, flat end of the cord to your iPod (there should be a corresponding port on the bottom of the iPod) and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports to begin.
- Note that models of iPod other than the standard version (like, for instance, the iPod shuffle) will have cords with differently-shaped plugs.[2] However, all varieties of iPod cord will have one end that plugs into a USB port.
3Wait for iTunes to recognize the iPod. When you connect your iPod, iTunes should launch automatically. If it doesn't, you may open it manually. Within a few moments, iTunes should recognize the iPod. You will know this is happening if you see the trademark Apple logo appear on your iPod without prompting. You may also notice a progress bar appear at the top of your iTunes window indicating that iTunes is downloading data required to interface with your iPod. Wait for iTunes to complete before proceeding — this may take several minutes.
- If iTunes doesn't seem to be recognizing your device automatically, don't despair. iTunes is somewhat notorious for experiencing problems with new devices. Try disconnecting your iPod and reconnecting it, opening and closing iTunes, and restarting your computer before reaching out to iTunes support.
- Additionally, if your iPod is low on power, you may need to wait for it to charge off of your computer's power supply for several minutes until iTunes is able to recognize it.
4Follow the prompts that display. Eventually, iTunes should automatically launch a large welcome message. Click "Continue" to proceed. Next, you'll see a screen that says "Sync with iTunes". Click "Get Started" on this screen. You will be brought to a screen that presents you with a variety of options, including:
- Updating your iPod software to the latest version. If your iPod software isn't current, clicking "Update" will download and install the latest version of the software. This keeps your iPod up-to-date with all of the features and security fixes.
- Creating a backup of your iPod data. If this is the first time you're using your iPod, you won't have any data to back up, but choosing an automatic backup location (either your computer or the iCloud) ensures you won't have to worry about it in the future.
5Click "Done". To exit the current screen, simply click the blue "Done" button in the top right of the iTunes window. When you do this, you'll be brought back to whatever you were looking at in iTunes before you began.
- From here, you can add music to your iPod as you normally would (see "Using iTunes" section above).
Community Q&A
How do I add songs to my Playlists without adding them to the Library?
- To purchase new songs, use the iTunes Store. You can access this via the button in the upper right of the iTunes window.
- You may want to preview songs before you purchase them. You can do this by double clicking on the song in the Store.

Washington, D.C. – It was honors even at RFK Stadium on Sunday evening as D.C. United and Philadelphia Union played out a 1-1 draw in a fascinating local derby
The hosts ended the game with nine men on the field and the visiting Union with ten in a frenzied finish which saw United captain Dwayne De Rosario miss a crucial late penalty at the second attempt.
The game was given added pre-game spice with the inclusion of the lively Danny Cruz in the Union lineup and Lionard Pajoy in the DC ranks, just three days after the players had traded clubs.
But it was another ex-DC man who stole the early headlines in the eighth minute as the Union took the lead.
Brian Carroll, who made 121 MLS appearances for United between 2003 and 2007, was in the box as Freddy Adu's lofted free-kick caused chaos and he anticipated expertly to slam the ball into his former club's net after telling touches from Amobi Okugo and Carlos Valdes.
Sensing the Union's growing confidence, D.C. were keen to hit back immediately and came close as Chris Pontius tested MacMath from distance with a vicious dipping strike before the Union stopper was called on again seconds later as he kept out a header from former teammate Pajoy.
Pontius went close again with a fizzing half-volley over the bar 26 minutes in – but it was the visitors who could have bagged the next goal with a superb counter attack on the half hour mark.
Michael Farfan was the tormentor in chief in a quick move, threading an excellent ball through to Sheanon Williams who saw his low shot saved before Freddy Adu fired straight at Bill Hamid.
Hamid's defense was being kept busy by the lively Union attack as the half drew to a close, with Cruz hitting wide, McInerney's looping header drifting over after good work by Adu and the two combining again as Adu delayed following an incisive McInerney pass.
There was still time for Pajoy to get in on the action; the Colombian forward touching off for De Rosario to curl the ball over the bar and then forcing Freddy Adu to clear as he looked to muscle in amongst the column inches
HALF TIME: D.C. United 0-1 Philadelphia Union
The second period was to have an air of controversy from the get go; Jack McInerney's unsuccessful penalty appeal after just 29 seconds the backdrop to what would ultimately be a heated half.
That theme continued when D.C. thought they had found the equalizer in the 64th minute; Nick DeLeon slamming home following a spilled shot and half-clearance only to hear the whistle blown for a foul on MacMath.
With the hosts enjoying greater spells of possession as the half continued, their pressure would see them level just ten minutes later. Carlos Valdes headed clear with forwards looming but seconds later Okugo couldn't replicate his central defensive partner's efforts, heading a dangerous free-kick beyond MacMath into his own goal to bring the sides level with 19 minutes left to play.
It was to set up a frantic finish, with both sides desperate to force a winner and earn the local bragging rights.
D.C. had a golden chance to do just that with four minutes left when substitute Roger Torres fouled Chris Pontius in the box and referee Mark Geiger pointed to the spot.
Captain De Rosario stepped up to narrowly convert the penalty as MacMath guessed the correct way but the home side's joy was short lived as Geiger forced a retake due to encroachment.
With the second spot kick delayed as both sets of players converged on the edge of the area – a flashpoint which resulted in the dismissal of United substitute Branko Boskovic, the nerves appeared to get the better of De Rosario who uncharacteristically miscued moments later to send his shot horribly over MacMath's crossbar.
It was to become the key moment of a frantic finale as two more players were sent off in six minutes of injury time.
United's Emiliano Dudar was given his marching orders for a crude challenge on Antoine Hoppenot as the hosts went down to nine men and Sheanon Williams was to follow; the Union defender making a committed attempt to win the ball and halt a United attack to the dislike of referee Geiger who brought proceedings to a close seconds later.

Conservation is the main focus of the Garden's Center for Conservation and Sustainable Development and William L. Brown Center and an important component of other areas of the Garden including the Science and Conservation Division, the Horticulture Division and Shaw Nature Reserve, and the Education and Sustainability programs. We give particular emphasis to documenting and understanding plant diversity by discovering and classifying plants and studying their distributions and relationships over space and time. Our work in conservation includes species conservation and recovery programs (both in the United States and internationally), assessments of the risk status of species, and habitat restoration. Through innovative research Garden scientists are developing methods to conserve plant diversity at scales ranging from genes to plant populations to entire ecosystems. To help ensure the sustainable use of plant diversity, we focus on documenting, conserving, and repatriating traditional knowledge, an essential aspect of conservation, in countries such as Bolivia, Madagascar, Peru, and Vietnam. In several regions we work to advance plant conservation by collaborating in community-based initiatives that integrate conservation of endangered species and ecosystem management/recovery with community development, poverty alleviation, and the creation of greater socio-economic incentives for conserving plant diversity. Vital to much of our work in support of the GSPC is capacity building through strengthening institutions internationally and training botanical scientists, ecologists, and plant conservationists at undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, and other levels. The development of close collaborative partnerships between the Garden and institutions and organizations in the countries in which we work is a fundamental principle and practice of all Garden international programs. The Missouri Botanical Garden is a member of Botanic Gardens Conservation International, the Global Partnership for Plant Conservation, the Center for Plant Conservation, and the Consortium of Scientific Partners of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Thank You!
The Garden wouldn't be the Garden without our Members, Donors and Volunteers.

A wonderful accent for multiple areas in your home! Add a decorative feminine touch to your bedroom, hallway or even the bathroom corner. This hand painted cabinet features a subtle French design with muted rose motifs. The half moon style contains plenty of space for your storage needs.
Queen Anne:
Made popular in the 19th century, the Queen Anne style of furniture is known to have a lighter and more feminine appearance. It is most commonly noted for its curving shapes, cabriole legs (a leg that has both an upper and lower curve) and cushioned seats. Padded feet (sometimes claw feet) are a signature feature on many Queen Anne pieces. Another feature to look for is carved scroll and shell motifs typically found on the crest and knees of chairs. Queen Anne furniture is crafted from a variety of woods with brass or wooden hardware.
Originating in Rome at the beginning of the 17th century, this style of furniture is characterized by dramatic effects, grand design and details to impress. Some pieces are similar to the Queen Anne style, with curvy lines and cabriole legs. However, the majority of pieces are over-the-top with features such as gold, marble, cherubs, angels and mirrors. Intricate design details also tend to cover the arms, legs and any other open spaces along the furniture.
Mission style furniture is plain and simple in design. A strong emphasis is placed on vertical and horizontal lines. The pieces have no extra detail work and are known for their basic straight line construction. Most pieces are created in wood with a dark or medium stain. If the piece is for sitting, it is typically covered in leather material. Very basic iron, steel or copper is used as the hardware.
Very similar to the Queen Anne style, these pieces are slightly more elaborate and are intricately carved with natural motifs like shells or acanthus leaves. Originally introduced in the 1700s, the Chippendale style can be classified into three types: French influence, Chinese influence and Gothic influence. Many Chippendale pieces have cabriole legs with padded claws, but with much more scroll work and fancy ornamentation. High quality mahogany wood and fine upholstered fabric are two key characteristics. Pieces for sitting are usually in horseshoe, square or trapezoid shapes and are upholstered in leather, silk, tapestry, velvet, needlepoint, hair cloth or brocade.
Sheraton is a neoclassical style characterized by delicate straight lines, light construction, contrasting veneers and ornamentation. At one time it was the most reproduced style in the United States. In contrast to Chippendale or Queen Anne styles, Sheraton pieces usually have straight or tapered legs, sometimes joined with stretchers. Many pieces often have more than one type of wood (satin, beech and mahogany being the most popular). Common details on these pieces include drapery swags, lyres, ribbons, fans, feathers, urns and flowers. Lion heads, stamped plates, rosettes and urns are typically found on the hardware. The majority of Sheraton pieces are square or rectangular. Sofas are noted for a clean flow without a noticeable break and exposed arms.
The elements of modern design include both curved and horizontal lines. Pieces such as shelves, tables and cases often have an appearance of "floating" with hidden support. Modern pieces are often asymmetrical, unembellished and are known to be longer and lower to the ground. Materials like molded plywood, plastic and metal are very common in modern furniture. The majority of modern pieces have slender legs that contribute to an open and airy atmosphere. You'll also find the furniture often has a bright pop of color to offset a bland room.
Contemporary style pieces stick with the theme that less is more. You'll find asymmetrical shapes with straight and simple lines and no decoration or ornament detail. Sofas, chairs and ottomans have exposed legs. Beds and chairs usually have no skirt, trim, fringe or other enhancements. The furniture is typically designed in neutral colors. What is considered to be contemporary furniture is always changing and is truly of the moment.
Victorian style furniture draws its influence from Queen Victoria and generally contains elaborate detailing like carvings and applied ornaments. Constructed to be long lasting, the wood used is very heavy in nature (such as mahogany, burr walnut, rosewood or ebony). Buttoned upholstery is a key standard in armchairs and sofas. Cabriole legs are found on tables, beds, chairs, desks and cabinets. Dark finishes on all pieces help to create a formal appearance.
Rustic furniture pieces appear to have a "worn in" look. They don't have a lacquered shine or contain any plastic. Many of the pieces are scratched and nicked to enhance their appearance. Often times real parts of tree branches and trunks are used to create a functional piece of furniture. For example, bed posts, chair legs, tabletops and lamp legs can be created from thick branches or tree trunks. Elements of wood and nature are present throughout rustic pieces.
Scandinavian Contemporary:
Scandinavian contemporary pieces can be described as furniture that adds function. Concealed storage compartments, slide out tables and trundle beds are unique characteristics that set this style apart from others. You'll find that these pieces are made out of a variety of sturdy wood including ash, birch, black walnut, elm, hickory, mahogany, maple, oak and teak. They feature straight lines with a simple design and have very little ornamentation. The idea is function versus appearance. Hardware is typically made of wood and upholstery covers most seating pieces, chair arms and backs.
Hepplewhite is a neoclassic style characterized by a delicate appearance, tapered legs, and the use of contrasting veneers and inlay. It is named after British designer and cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite whose designs in "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers Guide" were published posthumously in 1788. This style was reproduced in the United States particularly in the Carolinas, Maryland, New England, New York and Virginia.
Style at Home with Margie
The Style at Home Collection by Margie Commerford features distinctive global decor and home accents. The collection includes items such as rugs, furniture, floor screens and stained glass panels and lighting. Each item is carefully chosen to ensure high quality and exceptional style.
The lighting pieces offered by Margie are designed by some of the most innovative artists in the world of stained glass. Each is made using the highest quality materials and utilizing the copper foil technique, which is an authentic glass assembly method developed more than 100 years ago.
Many of the home decor items are made by traditional methods that have been passed down for generations in parts of the world such as India and Asia. Villages are often dependent upon these crafts for work, and it helps promote the continuation of beautiful goods.
The Style at Home Collection was developed to provide exotic, high quality pieces at affordable prices. Each item offers a timeless beauty that is meant to be shared for years to come.
About Margie Commerford
Margie Commerford, the renowned "lamp lady" from Style at Home has been in the retail business with her husband for several decades. Margie explains, "We started our business from simple beginnings, selling stuffed animals from the back of our van in Miami. What a journey it has been!"
Eventually their business grew into one of the leading importers of stained glass lighting in the country. For years, she has been on EVINE Live offering magnificent stained glass lighting, exotic hand-carved furniture and home accents.
Margie works closely with her husband, Terry, who travels extensively to India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Together they hand-pick every item to ensure the quality and style is something to be cherished. Margie enjoys finding "treasures" from their travels to present on-air. She says, "Each piece I offer has a story to tell. I love to provide customers with these stories so they too can understand how special each item is."
When Margie isn't working, she enjoys biking and spending time with her family and friends. She has two children, Rachel and Darrin, who she absolutely adores, so her schedule is always jam-packed. "I like to make sure that whatever I'm doing, work or play, I'm purely enjoying myself. That's what life is about."

The Importance of Design
A good website starts life in the design stage. There are several aspects of the site that are formed at this stage, including among other things, layout, color, sound, content, functionality and maintainability. No reasonable person would start to build a house without designing it first, no reasonable website builders should begin construction without a design either. While I admit there may be a better chance of succeeding with the un-designed website than with the un-designed house, you are selling yourself short if you skip the design stage. A friend of mine says (about programming computer systems) "you can't debug a system; you can only debug a system design. Sure you can fix the syntax things, but it's in design where the bugs are eliminated -- or introduced!" Wise words! The same holds true for a website, though by "bug" we might mean something a little different.If design is so important, how should we go about it? This introduction is intended to help you take a structured approach to the design of your site, and maybe make life easier as you revisit some aspects of your earlier work. This is a process I go through all the time with my own sites. The more you do, the more you realize the benefits of good design work.
I used the analogy of a house design a moment ago; there are some good parallels to be drawn between these two types of design. The design of a house involves not only the appearance of the finished house, but also the material of which it is made, the manor in which the material is used (sorry, I can never resist a good pun!), the time and expense required to put it together, the ease of access and the usability of its rooms and the building's durability and maintainability. A website design involves the look and feel of the site, the languages and server resources it will use, the programming and data structures involved, the time and programming abilities needed, end-user ease of use and site maintenance. Design a house, design a website. Same thing -- almost <G>!!
I hope I have convinced you of the importance of taking a little extra time in the design stage of your development work. "A stitch in time saves nine," my Grandma used to say. And the web wasn't even around then!

hah! I knew it. I'm going to have to start coming up with some better titles, though, it's such a cool concept but titles are HARD.
I find it interesting that I gave a submarine robot goldfish teeth, though. much weirder than the headlamp, at least to me.

Dean's Reception & Awards
I just came back from the Dean's Reception & Awards Ceremony. It's an annual event where the Dean makes a speech, the GBA president makes a speech, a guest speaker makes a speech, and academically gifted 2nd years receive awards for various subjects. I know I covered awards in a prior post. There were two award recipients that seemed odd to me – one was a complete surprise because I would've sworn another class member would've received it (more deservingly in my opinion); the other award was also surprising but it made sense that the recipient got it.
Again, I was reminded of the stark differences a year makes. As a first year, I flitted around at the reception post-ceremony, talking to as many people as I could find. This year, I found a table and was content to eat there and chat to the odd person who wandered over.
First year, I was eager to keep the party going.
Second year, I left somewhat early and immediately changed into my comfy houseclothes to do some homework
First year, I had dreams and desires to be up on the stage, with visions of imparting sage advice and talking about what I had done for the student body.
Second year, I had to fight the urge to pull out my phone and browse Twitter, given how little I cared.
I guess it has started to emerge – the apathy that I've been told sets in with the second year. I can't say I've checked out, but I'm starting to see the school experience as no longer "mine" to do with it as I please, but more a legacy to leave behind.

I check this stand of cherry trees every fall for the annual visit of the Cedar Waxwings. These beautiful birds are almost exclusively fructivorous (fruit eaters). They are very colorful, including small red tips on some wing feathers (barely visible here), which looked to some like red sealing wax - hence the "waxwing" name.

And here's Carlos looking fresh, as always.
On Saturday, Carlos and I met my parents in Niagra-on-the-Lake to celebrate their anniversary. Such a nice day it was: peaches, beautiful weather, delicious meals, and wiiiiine.
Enjoying my time at Peller Estates, post wine-tasting.
Marzipan break. I never eat marzipan, but it's kind of the best. As a child I used to love to get it when we came to Niagra-on-the-Lake.
At the end of the day, my parents treated us to tons of produce. Carlos and I were armed with bags of peaches, plums, tomatoes, green beans, and nectarines on our way back home. I want to make peach cake! Recipes?
I brought two of these fruit bags back from Merci (one for me, one for Mom).
And here's Carlos looking fresh, as always.

CBS files suit against viewers, recappers, and MediaJammers.
Almost exactly six months after the end of Big Brother, CBS has filed suit against a number of groups critical of what the network calls their "best show EVER!" MediaJammers, the group that flew the first banner over the compound, which resulted in a tidal wave of what CBS calls "disruptive" and "hard to read while staring into the sun" banners dragged by airplanes, is named, as are the people who wrote recaps of the "scintillating" episodes. Host Julie Chen was apparently "traumatized" that the recaps would "point out the funny way she stands" again, according to Insight.com, one of the two sites I regularly link to because I'm lazy. CBS also blames viewers for "blindly following the media" who panned the show.
+ also: CBS plans to use heat-seeking missiles to defend Big Brother 2.

125 of Chicago's (newest) Bravest…
On Wednesday, 15 February 2017 members of the Chicago Police pipe band stood side by side with our brothers and sisters of the Chicago Fire pipe band to recognize nearly 125 new firefighters joining their ranks as Chicago's Bravest. We are privileged to be a part of their pride, honor and tradition.
a "calling" and not just a job…
Sharing from Uniform Stories Staff — Cops are unique. Yes, there are occupations that may face similar stresses (military, firefighting, ems first responders), but the job of a police officer stands unique in its own right. The best men and women who take on the vocation of being a police officer understand that it truly is a "calling" and not just a job. A good cop must be committed to the profession in a way that transcends the notion of punching a clock and getting a paycheck.

These same men and women will find in a matter of years, however, that the job will change them. It will change their outlook on the world, their interactions with others and in some cases their very ability to deal with others who are not in law enforcement. They will find that once close relationships with friends and family may fade. Sometimes, that's a natural thing and other times there is simply a lack of understanding of what stresses a cop endures in their day-to-day routines.
Here are 5 stresses that cops deal with that non-cops might not realize:
- Daily preparation for battle
People die every day. Accidents happen every day. In rare instances, tragedy unexpectedly takes the lives of thousands. However, most occupations generally assume they will go to work and come home at the end of the day.
Being a police officer requires preparation for death, daily. Officers put on bullet proof vests and carry guns for a reason: they are ready for the fight, and unfortunately not every warrior comes home. In the last 5 years, a police officer has been killed, in the line of duty, every 2-3 days. That is 727 lives lost. Cops are at war out there.
- The cop attitude stays
Many police officers aren't warned about the change that will take place in them from the job. The "cop attitude" cannot be left at the office, either. The incidents cops experience will change them on duty and off duty. They will not sit with their backs to doors or people; they will often not carry on a conversation by looking someone in the eye because they are looking at every person coming and going. They are running a hundred scenarios of what could go potentially wrong wherever they are. - Life in a fishbowl
Cops are held to a higher standard. And, the oath taken by officers isn't limited to when they are wearing a uniform. Most departments have a standard of conduct that governs even off duty behavior. Violations of that standard can result in disciplinary action.
There are constant eyes on LEOs and it is often difficult to find ways to de-stress and to blow off steam as a cop. Officers are constantly aware of scrutiny waiting around every corner, yet must boldly continue to go places no one else is willing to go and do things no one else is willing to do.
As the famous quote goes, "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
- Front row seat to despair
It is very rare for people to call the police when everything is going well. Instead, the police arrive when dad hits mom, when mom burns her child with a cigarette, when a brother or friend has been found dead with heroin needles in their arms, when a rollover accident has taken the life of a young family, someone's privacy has been violated in a burglary or robbery, or when someone has been the victim of a scam – and the list goes on.
Seeing these things day in and day out will take a toll on any officer. Often people wonder why an officer seemed angry when they saw them, or perhaps didn't smile and wave. Well, perhaps that officer has just returned from doing CPR a newborn and now is taking a report on damage to someone's property.
It's not that the officer is cold or don't care; it's just that people don't often see what that officer sees or do what that officer does.
To be fair, police officers need to consider the same for all those we are dealing with. People call the police when they are in need and under stress. So, not everyone hates the police even though they may just seem that way, we too, haven't been through what they've been through.
- Riding the incident rollercoaster
At any point in the tour of duty, an officer can move from trying to eat lunch to driving at high speed, running after a suspect, pointing a firearm at someone and finding themselves in a life or death decision. Maybe an officer went from a parking complaint to a child hit by a car back, then back to someone getting a ticket for shoplifting. You get the idea.
These roller coaster scenarios can affect an officer both emotionally and physically. Cops should take note and find healthy ways to keep themselves balanced.
If you see a cop friend, or loved one, behaving a little distant, there is a reason why. If you are a cop struggling with these stresses, remember your friends who are not in this field may not understand.
Communicate openly with those who are trying to help, seek to understand each other. If you are truly struggling and having a hard time overcoming the stresses of the job, please speak up to a trusted brother or sister in blue, or find another qualified resource for help.

you're not alone…
In our world, like our firefighter comrades we are tasked with "extinguishing" the world's problems when in reality we have trouble "extinguishing" our own. As cops, we are meant to go after the problem and not stop till we resolve it.
This mentality, this drive, and this discipline can cause us great heartache when we come upon a problem we cannot solve on our own. We feel helpless & ashamed as if we have failed. But wait…when others are in need what do they do? They call 911!
A new report finds that the Chicago Police Department has a suicide rate 60 percent higher than the national average. The study found that of the 10,000 officer force up to three CPD officers per year commit suicide, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The CPD's suicide rate corresponds with the extreme level of violence seen in the Windy City. Last year Chicago's murder rate was higher than that of New York and Los Angeles combined.
"There is a problem, and nobody's doing anything about it," Ron Rufo, a peer support counselor, told the paper. "Supervisors don't talk about it. The rank-and-file don't talk about it. And it's like the administration does not want to admit it's a problem."
Read the story @ http://www.breitbart.com/…/suicides-chicago-police-office…/…
When cops are in need who do they call? A 10-1*. As a police culture, we are often afraid or ashamed to call a personal 10-1. If you have ever been left alone, felt trapped, or there is no way out; we are here for you – we won't miss your call.
Don't be afraid of calling the personal 10-1. Our pride should not keep us from getting killed (literally or spiritually). It is our dependence on the one who will never leave us that will make us stronger.

Superintendent (RET) Joseph DiLeonardi at rest…
On 02 February 2017 – the band participated in the honors funeral services for retired Chicago Police Department Superintendent Joseph DiLeonardi. From the Chicago Tribune:
DiLeonardi was known for honesty and integrity as well as a great deal of panache in his 44-year career in Chicago law enforcement.
Known as "Joe D," DiLeonardi was Chicago's acting police superintendent for a time under Mayor Jane Byrne and later served as the U.S. marshal for the federal court in Chicago. For many years he was the colorful commander of the citywide homicide unit.
"Joe was terrific," said retired police Sgt. Jimmy Georgalas, 94, who worked with DiLeonardi in the homicide unit. "He was very well respected and just an honest guy."
DiLeonardi, 84, died of congestive heart failure Sunday at his home, said his wife of more than 50 years, Carol. He was a resident of Park Ridge for about 20 years after living many decades in the city.
Born in Chicago, DiLeonardi grew up in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side and graduated from Steinmetz High School. After attending Wright Junior College for a semester, DiLeonardi served stateside in the Army during the Korean War.
He returned to Wright and later attended classes at the University of Illinois' Navy Pier campus before earning an undergraduate degree from Chicago State University.
DiLeonardi joined the Chicago Police Department in 1955, part of a graduating class that included future Chicago police Superintendent LeRoy Martin. In 1958, DiLeonardi became an investigator, then rose through the ranks, becoming head of North Side gang crimes before being tapped to oversee the department's entire gang crime unit in 1974.
Several months later, DiLeonardi was named the city's new homicide commander. By the late 1970s, DiLeonardi was promoted to become deputy superintendent in charge of the bureau of investigative services, overseeing all detectives, the youth division and the crime laboratory.
The number of homicides in that era was significantly higher than it is now. In 1978, the city's homicide toll dipped below 800 — the lowest total then in six years. "One factor is the large number of firearms that police have taken off the street," DiLeonardi told the Tribune in 1979.
DiLeonardi spent the largest chunk of his career — 21 years — in the homicide unit, and he once compared his work to the familiarity that a golf pro has with the many courses he has played.
"A good homicide detective remembers murder case details like the pro remembers every golf course hole and fairway he's ever played," he told the Tribune in 1991. "For me, there is no greater satisfaction than solving a murder."
DiLeonardi often said one of his proudest cases was his work in the murder of Peter Saisi in 1958. Over the objections of his superiors, DiLeonardi worked to prove that a prime suspect was not the killer. That paved the way for the convictions of Saisi's wife and her lover.
In 1979, then-Mayor Jane Byrne named DiLeonardi acting superintendent of police. DiLeonardi quickly began making changes to the department, some of which infuriated Byrne. The mayor also was reported to be frustrated with DiLeonardi's ability to grab headlines.
DiLeonardi was acting superintendent during Pope John Paul II's visit to Chicago in October 1979. Other achievements he was proud of during his tenure as acting superintendent included promoting minorities into high levels within the Police Department and working to cleanse the department of political interference from the mob-plagued 1st Ward.
After just five months in the job, DiLeonardi asked not to be considered for the top job on a permanent basis. While DiLeonardi initially stated that the decision was rooted in family reasons, in April 1980, he told the Tribune that two of Byrne's top aides demanded the ouster of the department's most prominent fighter of organized crime, and blamed influence from the mobbed-up 1st Ward organization. DiLeonardi's successor, Richard Brzeczek, denied the allegations.
DiLeonardi became deputy superintendent overseeing the Bureau of Investigative Services. Brzeczek soon demoted him to watch commander and then reassigned him to serve as commanding office of the police detail at O'Hare International Airport.
Brzeczek then demoted DiLeonardi further in 1981 to be a midnight shift watch commander in a high-crime district on the West Side. By 1985, DiLeonardi's career was revived when a subsequent police superintendent, Fred Rice, named him commander of the Belmont District on the North Side.
In 1987, he was promoted to assistant deputy superintendent, and the following year he became deputy superintendent for the Bureau of Community Services.
After retiring from the force in 1991, DiLeonardi worked for several years as the top investigator for Cook County Sheriff Michael Sheahan. He then was chosen by President Bill Clinton to be the U.S. marshal for the Northern District of Illinois, serving from 1994 until 1999.
DiLeonardi was said to be the inspiration for "Kojak," the nattily attired TV detective played by Telly Savalas. DiLeonardi once dismissed any comparisons between TV's depiction of detectives and the actual work.
"There are no heroes like you see up there on TV," DiLeonardi told the Tribune in 1980. "What you don't see on TV are the frustrations, the overtime that a homicide detective puts in and what it does to his family life. Television doesn't show the horror of what happens to the victims and the compassion that the detective has to give to the family. It doesn't show the hours of paperwork. But that's what real police work is all about."
DiLeonardi also was a frequent foe of the National Rifle Association. In 1988, he criticized the group for producing a coloring book designed to promote gun safety to elementary schoolchildren, calling it "appalling and sickening."
An avid runner, DiLeonardi completed 34 marathons in his life, the last one at the age of 75, his wife said.
DiLeonardi is also survived by a son, Joseph Jr.; two grandchildren; two brothers, Arthur and George; and two sisters, Gloria Malnak and Joyce Cox-Cunningham.
A visitation will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Cumberland Chapels, 8300 W. Lawrence Ave. in Norridge and from 9 to 10 a.m. Thursday at Holy Name Cathedral, 735 N. State St. in Chicago. A funeral Mass will follow.
you don't understand police work…
Sharing from a 18 May 2016 article from POLICE ONE. A question posted on Quora asked, "What do police officers wish the general public knew?" Retired Officer and PoliceOne Columnist Tim Dees gave his opinion on the topic:
1. Use of force isn't pretty. People have been conditioned by TV to believe that a properly trained police officer of any size can take down a person of superior size and strength, quickly, almost effortlessly, without the use of weapons, and without any injury to either party. This is not true. Few cops are expert martial artists. The defensive tactics training they receive is fairly perfunctory. Struggles often result in injured joints, lacerations, concussions, and other injuries to both parties. There is lots of cursing and screaming involved. The cops usually win, but only because they can get enough cops on the scene to overwhelm the adversary.
2. Most cops never shoot anyone. Very few cops will fire their sidearms outside of the pistol range at some time in their career (more if the cop works in a rural area where having to "dispatch" wounded animals is common). Some might go months without taking the gun out of the holster.
3. Cops will go to extremes to avoid shooting people. My personal experience is that, about once a month, I would encounter a situation where I would have been legally justified in shooting someone. I did that only once, so all the other times, I found some other way of resolving the situation. Casual research tells me my experience is not unique. Most cops have ample opportunities to shoot people, but they choose not to do so.
4. The people at the top often don't have a lot of practical experience.There are exceptions, but most cops who become chiefs, sheriffs, or other high-ranking officers spend most of their career paving the path to promotion. They spend a brief time as working cops, then transfer to a non-enforcement job, where they stay until they get their first promotion. They never truly understand the job, and the cops they oversee don't identify with the brass, or the brass with the cops.
5. PTSD is real and commonplace. A cop may have a bad time after he's involved in a shooting, but the traumatic incident could just as well be a nasty car crash, a fight, or a rescue that didn't end well. Anyone who can say truthfully that they are never bothered by such things is probably a sociopath. Cops who seek mental health treatment are often viewed suspiciously by their superiors. Those guys didn't spend enough time on the street to experience anything that bothered them, and they believe that anyone who is bothered is probably unstable.
6. There is lots of stress, but not the kind you might think. Most of the stress comes from the police station, not the street. Law enforcement agencies are extremely political. Who likes you or who you're friends or relatives with has a lot more to do with the progress of your career than how good you are at your job. "Management by intimidation" is a common technique. From a human resources perspective, law enforcement agencies are horrible places to work.
7. There aren't all that many bigots. There are some, of course—in a cohort of close to a million people, some of them will be biased. You can get fired for expressing those feelings, so they tend not to last long. Most cops don't especially care what color you are, what religion you practice, what country your ancestors came from, how much money you have, or what your sexual orientation is. Cops see every kind of person, often at the worst moments of their lives. They know there are good and bad people in every category. They do have a strong bias against jerks, so don't be one of those.
8. Some of our brother (and sister) officers embarrass us. With the possible exception of field training officers, cops don't have a lot of input to who gets hired and who is retained on their agency. Everyone knows somebody (probably several somebodys) who is reckless, immature, lazy, dishonest, or just dumb. When these people are allowed to keep being cops, it's usually because they are politically connected, and reporting them for a transgression will almost always backfire on you.
9. Your "my favorite police encounter" story is not unique. On learning someone is a police officer, most people will immediately relate their most memorable contact with the police. It's usually a traffic stop, as that's how most people encounter the police. Your new friend will smile and nod politely, but he's silently waiting for it to be over. It's nothing he hasn't heard before.
10. There are few universal rules or policies. I have lost count of how many questions I have seen on Quora along the lines of "how much over the speed limit can I go before I'll get stopped" and "what do I say to get out of getting a ticket." People want to believe there is some industry-wide practice they can exploit to aid them in violating the law. There are over 800,000 law enforcement officers in the United States, and each one of them is a unique person. Their employers seldom impose a formal policy of allowing drivers to exceed the limit by X miles per hour. This is most often left up to the individual.
11. It's seldom personal. Few cops start their day looking for a particular person, or even a particular class of people to stop. Cops see violations of the law and suspicious circumstances, and they are encouraged by their employers to intervene. If you got a ticket or got arrested, it's probably because you broke the law, not because the cop didn't like you or you are a member of some targeted group. If this happens to you a lot, you might want to stop blaming the variables and consider the constant instead.
12. Becoming a cop is harder than you think. Some agencies have to collect over 100 applications to get one viable hire. Some of those hires won't make it through the police academy. Some who do won't complete field training. About half of new hires leave law enforcement within five years. Mainly because of anti-police sentiment, it's more difficult to recruit new cops than ever before. You might want to think that people become cops because they're too stupid or lazy for real jobs, but you're fooling yourself. Chances are, you couldn't make the grade.
13. Television does not represent law enforcement accurately. Most of what most people know about cops is from watching television. This is why people believe that every arrest must be immediately followed by a Miranda warning, that there is a team of FBI agents who fly to crime scenes in an executive jet and solve the case within days, that detectives in one major PD can move to another, distant major PD and instantly resume being detectives, that crime scene investigators collect evidence, identify the suspects, interrogate the suspects, and make the arrests (no one seems to care what the detectives are doing), and that cops who are involved in shootings are back at work the next day.
14. We wish you would stop telling your children we will arrest them if they aren't good. The day may come, God forbid, that your child is separated from you and doesn't know where to turn. You'll probably call the police if this happens. Do you want your child to look for a police officer to help him, or hide from the police because he is afraid he will go to jail?
15. You don't understand police work. This applies even if your father, mother, sibling, or next-door-neighbor was a cop. Until you have actually done the job for a few years, you will never understand what it's actually like.
From — Police One — 15 things cops wish the public knew about policing; You don't understand police work — May 18, 2016
100 Club Challenge…
28 August 2016. As the sun rose over Lake Michigan, the skirl of the pipes and war beat of the drums filled the area for the 100 Club of Chicago "100 Club Challenge" to make Chicago Triathlon debut, The 100 Club Challenge is a special race within a race competition during the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon weekend, held each August in downtown Chicago. Originally known as the First Responders' Competition, the program began in 2007 as a friendly wager among seven members of the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Office of the FBI. Since then, the competition has hosted more than 1,000 participants from more than 24 agencies across the country. The Transamerica Chicago Triathlon is the world's largest multisport event, having welcomed more than 250,000 triathletes across the nish line since 1983. This is truly Where the World Comes to Race.
In 2016, this special competition has been renamed on behalf of the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon's new partnership with The 100 Club of Chicago. The purpose of this organization is to provide for the surviving spouses and dependents of law enforcement officers, firefighters and paramedics who lose their lives in the line of duty. This includes federal, state, county and local officers, firefighters and paramedics stationed in both Cook and Lake Counties.
Through both public donations and private fundraising efforts, the program plans to generate more than $25,000 in direct contributions to the 100 Club of Chicago during the 2016 season. There are two ways to participate in the 100 Club Challenge: as a First Responder, or as a civilian fundraiser.
2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of the 100 Club of Chicago! The 100 Club of Chicago provides for the families of first responders who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This membership based organization offers several forms of financial assistance, access to resources and moral support. All sworn federal, state, county and local first responders stationed in Cook and Lake Counties are included. We look forward to working with them for the next 50 years. #100club #50years #neverforget
on the set…
Band members were on the set of the new FOX TV show APB FOX. Inspired by true events, APB is a new police drama with a high-tech twist. Coming soon to FOX. Band member Tom McKenna (Chicago's funniest cop) had this to say leading up to the big day —
"My personal assistant will be arriving on set at 6am. Followed by my hair and makeup at 6:15 and my wardrobe people at 6:30. I will be arriving at 7am in a black stretch limo. License number, HA HA COP 1. Please have appropriate security in place on my arrival. As per my contract, you will have a bowl of green m&ms and a bottle of Jamison in my dressing room. If time permits after the shoot I will stay for autographs and photos. $10 a piece."
On a serious note – 20th Century Fox made a $5,000 donation to theChicago Police Memorial Foundation-Official Page. #ForOurFallen
blessed are the peacemakers…
We pay tribute to 5 fallen law enforcement professionals who served the City of Dallas: officers of honor and courage murdered in the line of duty — who in times of challenge stood with the innocent against the guilty, with the peaceful against the violent, with the right against the wrong, with the righteous against injustice. When we take the measure of these officers we find heroes.
These officers were the finest example of law enforcement; remarkable courage and strength of character. Their loss will be deeply felt by all who knew them. These officers knew where they stood and they claimed their ground with dignity and pride. They were members of a special breed — men and women passionately devoted to a profession which is more of a calling than a career. They went where others feared to go, put the safety of the community before their own, and served with dedication, compassion, purpose and integrity.
Our chosen career is a life of service to others you've never met, of days as quiet and routine and without warning turn chaotic and violent. A life in which you're never sure if the end of your shift will find you in your car going home or in an ambulance speeding to the emergency room. Nothing can be taken for granted.
The men and women who wear the badge are well aware of these risks. We train, we prepare, we are well equipped, but sometimes none of these things matter. We have husbands, wives, children, mothers and fathers. We have dreams and goals and look forward to a long and peaceful retirement. But we cannot shrink from our duty.
We see the best and worst of humankind. We confront despair and overwhelming challenges. But still we carry on.
It is difficult to fathom the strength, courage and commitment which propels us to go out the door each morning. Perhaps it is because while we face incredible difficulties we are also privileged to participate in some of society's greatest moments — seeing good men and women stand up to those who would do them and their neighbors harm– people willing to take risks for each other.
We experience the grateful nod of appreciation from someone we helped, and feel the awe of children who want only to follow in our footsteps – for a peace officer there is no challenge too difficult, no danger too great. For us it is simple: if they need help, we will come.
Blessed are the peacemakers – those who strive to prevent contention, strife, and war; who use their influence to reconcile opposing parties, and to prevent hostilities in families and neighborhoods.
A gesture of friendship…
The Chicago Police Department bagpipe and drum band has been invited to New York to participate at the 9/11 National Memorial 15th anniversary service – and we need financial support.
Founded in 1999, the Pipes and Drums of the Chicago Police Department is fraternal organization focused on fostering the traditions and respect garnered through playing the great highland bagpipe and Scottish drum. Our mission is simple: to always be in service to our comrades, their families and friends in their time of need.
We have been privileged to participate in honors ceremonies of our own fallen heroes as well as Peace Officers and Firefighters across our Nation – and now in New York.
We can NEVER FORGET their sacrifice.
The band has setup a FundRazr campaign. Please consider supporting our endeavor to participate in the 15 year anniversary of the events of 9-11 in New York City so we can stand with our comrades from the NYPD and share our gift of music; music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is.
Thank your for your consideration.
PO Madison Pruitt at rest…
The 6-year-old girl who was made an honorary Chicago police officer last week has passed. (from WGN TV). Madison Pruitt suffered from a rare form of muscle cancer. She dreamed of becoming a police officer. So last week, Chicago's Interim Police Supt. Eddie Johnson and dozens of officers showed up at her home on the South Side to give her a badge and make her an honorary cop.
It was not an ordinary roll call for 6th District Chicago Police officers today.
After a pep talk from the interim superintendent, they paid a house visit to one of the newest recruits: Madison Pruitt.
6-year-old Madison is feisty. Her family calls her "bossy lady," and thanks to Chicago police, she got to see a dream come true today.
For the past year, Madison has been fighting a rare muscle cancer.
"She is declining, so we wanted to try setup things for her while we could," her hospice worker Lindsay Wooster said. So Lindsay called the police district.
Officers made Madison an official lifelong police officer.
It was an emotional moment for Madison's family.
Madison's grandmother says she had no idea the family would get such a strong showing from police. She says hopes this will help raise awareness about childhood cancer.
PO Madison Pruitt – EOW 10 April 2016. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord – and may perpetual light shine upon he.

As fall really starts to set in, now is a great time to winterize your lawn. It is time to start changing your watering habits, mow more frequently, apply winterizing applications with herbicide to your lawn. You can do this by yourself, or you can have a lawn and Salt Lake City pest control company winterize your lawn for you.
With the cooler weather, you do not need to water as frequently as you were during the summer. You can cut back and start watering your lawn once or twice a week instead of two to three times a week. Do not cut back on how long you water your lawn for. You still want to provide your lawn with enough water to soak the first ten inches of soil. Watering in the fall allows your grass to deepen its root system. This will increase the health of your yard and prevent weeds from growing in your yard come spring.
It may seem counter intuitive, but you should actually cut your lawn more frequently in the fall than in the summer. However, you should set your mower on the second highest setting, and allow your lawn to be about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long. You want to be mowing off just the top 1/3 of your grass when you mow your lawn in the fall. This will give your lawn a lush, green appearance and will also strength the root system of your grass.
Weeds & Insects
Now is a great time to prevent future problems from weeds and insects. You should spray your lawn with a winterizing application that has a herbicide in it. This will kill the root system of any broad-leaf weeds that are still lurking in your grass. If you have an insect problem, now is a great time to apply insecticide to the infected area. If you do not want to do this yourself, you can have a pest control in salt lake city company do it for you.
As fall sets in, it is time to switch up your yard care routine. Start watering your yard only once or twice a week. Cut your yard more frequently, but remember to only cut off the top 1/3 of the grass. Apply herbicides and insecticide as needed, so you don't have to deal with weeds and insects next spring.

Indiana closed its second availability payment-based P3 project, the I-69 Section 5 project. "Section 5" is the fifth of six planned sections to link Evansville, Indiana with Indianapolis. The RFQ for Section 5 was published on May 23, 2013 and the Indiana Finance Authority ("IFA") – once again partnering with the Indiana Department of Transportation – never missed a deadline, achieving commercial close on April 8, 2014.
Indiana's private partner is the I-69 Development Partners, with Isolux Infrastructure Netherlands B.V., a Spanish-Dutch P3 developer ("IIN") partnering with its affiliate, Corsan-Corviam Construccion, S.A., as its design-builder, and the joint venture of Arizona-based AZTEC Engineering Group, Inc. and Técnica y Proyectos S.A. (or "TYPSA"), as its designer. Regional and Indiana-based team members Burgess & Niple, Inc., E&B Paving, Inc. and others round out the concessionaire team. The I-69 Section 5 project involves reconstructing a 21 mile stretch of existing Indiana State Route 37 to interstate standards, a project with both rural and urban design features, underground geological "karst" challenges and located adjacent to the home of Indiana's flagship state university in Bloomington.
The Section 5 marks IIN's first stateside P3. IIN, with three other major international and domestic developers and regional P3 players, are also shortlisted for Indiana's next P3 procurement, the Illiana/I65 Project, linking Northwest Indiana with the companion P3 project being procured by the Illinois Department of Transportation, creating alternative entry into the greater Chicago area.
I-69 Development Partners bid an attractive $21.78 million base year "maximum availability payment," and also achieved a high technical evaluation score. Four shortlisted teams submitted proposals in response to IFA's RFP and were evaluated in late January. A low bid and a high technical evaluation won IIN the day. Financial Close is expected in late June 2014.

THE German ship R. C. Rickmers which recently discharged a cargo of 40,000 barrels of cement at San Pedro, California, is the largest sailing vessel in the world. Some of her principal dimensions are: Length of deck, 441 feet; beam, 53 feet; draft, loaded, 27 feet; displacement, to load water line, 11,360 tons; sail area, 50,000 square feet.
.SOS Detective…
Translating distress signals into beams of light, this Navy-developed rescue aid speedily plots the position of ships or planes in trouble at sea. Tiny camera projectors interpret bearings received from direction-finding stations; the intersection of their beams on the map indicates the position of the craft in distress. The dial above the chart automatically gives the course to the position.
A boat that runs along the surface of the water on drums was given a trial recently on the Hackensack River, near Newark, N. J. Five specially-designed white steel drums, having indentations like the treads on tires to increase their grip upon the water, support the craft.
.Ships Dock in Huge Mass of "Soap Bubbles"
Detergents from nearby factories make a foamy bed for ships at a lock in the River Neckar at Stuttgart, Germany. Factories deposit the detergents in already dirty water, making the river unfit for swimming. Fish cannot live in the water either.
How is that mailbox an improvement?
ONE of the latest developments in the field of medical science is the ring magnet. It is proving of great value in removing pieces of metal from the eye after an accident. Workers in various industries often suffer from flying pieces of metal striking the eye. To remove such small particles is often a delicate operation whose pain is greatly lessened through the use of this ingenious device.
If he ever attempted this I'm pretty sure you can visit both Mr. Terry and his gondola shoes a few meters down just off the coast of Dover.
.Youth Invents Gondola Shoes to Walk English Channel
THE ancient Biblical feat of walking on water is soon to be duplicated by a Washington youth, George Terry, who has invented an odd pair of gondola shoes to achieve the stunt. The scene of the re-enactment of the feat will be the English Channel, between Dover and Calais.
Well, that certainly looks… er. Rugged? Actually it seems like something you'd see at DisneyLand.
THE Rat is an amazingly versatile Canadian vehicle developed and built by Canadair Ltd., Montreal. Only 1,500 lbs. in weight, the aluminum buggy can tote 600 lbs. of cargo while towing another 1,000 lbs. on sleds or toboggans. The unique tandem vehicle has a small gas engine in the front section with a takeoff to power the cargo section. It runs in water, over snow and has climbed a 50 per cent grade. It is for use with troops in northern Canada.
.Whispering Magic — The Navy's Wireless
By DONALD WILHELM
ABOUT the least conspicuous yet most important thing on any ship, especially a Navy ship, is what those on board often call the wireless shack. It's a small room aft of the bridge, usually, and the most interesting spot on board the vessel.
.Life-Saving Bomb
Here's the Navy's newest electronic weapon—it won't, kill a soul but its underwater sound waves will aid thousands.
By Frank Tinsley
AN electronic bomb which disperses sound instead of shrapnel may save the lives of many survivors of sea disasters.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a writer use "…!". I think that should be called the ellipsobang. It might need it's own symbol though, like the interrobang (‽);
.On dining well
O noble gastronomic music, descend… and inspire this discourse…!
The joys of eating beautifully prepared food are perhaps more immediate, complex and compelling than those derived from any daily experience. For what other art calls at once upon the four senses of taste, touch, sight and smell? Such a complicated variety of stimuli is reserved for devotees of the culinary cult.
