Police Dog Basic Training"
All police dogs must first become experts at basic obedience training. They must obey the commands of their handler without hesitation. This is what keeps the inherent aggression of the dog in check, and allows the officer to control how much force the dog is using against a suspect. Dogs from Europe are often given commands in their native language (Breston's commands are all in Dutch). Many people think this is so no one besides the handler can accidentally give them an "attack" command in English. This is a myth. A police dog must also make it through endurance and agility training. Finally, each dog receives specialty training. In the next section, you'll learn about the specialty training that produces a dog able to locate illegal drugs.
What Lying Actually Does to Your Brain and Body Every Day
here here! Pathological truth teller here. Its made worse by my attempts at being modest. :/ Oh well. At least I can sleep at night. Mikagekun, you have to decide what you actually desire. If you want to lie, telling the truth will only be a staged performance. You yourself know when it is right to divulge information. Certainly, there's no given way to change your upbringing or your moral compass in social situations.
Collinsville mayor on sagging pants vote: ‘I’m sorry that that passed’ : Sj
Collinsville has become the first Metro East community to ban "sagging pants," following a City Council vote Monday. The new law requires pants to be "secured at the waist to prevent the pants from falling more than 3 inches below the hips ... causing exposure to the person or the person's undergarments," according to a copy of the ordinance. It would only apply to pants worn on public property. Violators will be fined $100 and be required to perform community service for the first offense and $300 and community service for subsequent offenses. Mayor John Miller and council member Nancy Moss voted against the measure; members Liz Dalton, who initiated the ordinance, and Jeff Kypta voted to approve it. "I've had several phone calls and emails and 75 percent of the people were for it," Tognarelli said, calling the fashion fad "gang-related." However, Moss said that sagging was a non-issue before Dalton brought it up last month. Miller disagreed.

Collinsville Illinois Bans Baggy Pants, Mayor 'Very Disappointed'
Despite the fact that laws banning baggy pants have been ruled unconstitutional by judges across the country, Collinsville, Illinois is the latest town to ban sagging trousers--and their mayor is not happy about it. City council members in Collinsville, which is located about 20 miles east of St. Louis, Mo., told Fox 2 St. Louis that they proposed the ordinance because residents said they were tired of "looking at people's underwear." Though Mayor John Miller and several other council members opposed the ban, it ultimately passed. STLToday.com explained what the new law will mean for "offenders" in Collinsville: The new law requires pants to be "secured at the waist to prevent the pants from falling more than 3 inches below the hips ... causing exposure to the person or the person's undergarments," according to a copy of the ordinance.

A group of randomly selected citizens, engaged in a new kind of polling developed at Stanford, gathers this weekend to tackle California's problems | Stanford News Release
June 22, 2011 A Deliberative Polling activity organized by a variety of academics and civic organizations is held in Torrance. By Dan Stober Professor James Fishkin, international communication (Photo by Linda A. Cicero / Stanford News Service) Opinion polls typically ask members of the public how they stand on the issues, whether they know much about the issues or not. That seemed like a flaw in the process to Stanford communication professor James Fishkin, who pondered the question, "Would people have the same response if they took the time to learn about the issues?" The answer, it turns out, is that many people, once they gain a grasp of the issues, change their minds. When the talking ends, and the participants take a new survey, the polling has changed significantly on 70 percent of the questions asked. Now Fishkin, of the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford, has set off with colleagues from a number of institutions to do something slightly – but significantly – different.

Foma Party: Ferdinand Waldo Demara
Ferdinand Waldo Demara was born in Lawrence, Massachusets in 1921 and from a young age was determined to dedicate his life to the Catholic Church.He joined a Trappist monastery at the age of 14 having impressed the monks with his determination to adopt their way of life despite the demands that would be placed upon him.His parents believed that the rigorous burden of this lifestyle, with a spartan diet and a vow of silence, would drive him back home in no time but Demara managed to stay for two years and actually earned a place at the monastery as Frater Mary Jerome.However, shortly after this Demara was asked to leave the order. His failure to be able to adhere completely to the vow of silence had made his continued stay at the monastery impossible.Demara was devastated and determined to prove the monks wrong.He took jobs within various Catholic organisations but each time found himself falling out with the people in charge and moving on.

Headlines
Tabloid Vocabulary There are two types of newspaper - broadsheets and tabloids. Broadsheets are the newspapers with large pages, and usually have fewer photos, and contain articles which are more in-depth and serious. Tabloids have smaller pages, and make all news as eye-catching as possible. Recently, most broadsheets, which were losing out to the tabloids, made their pages smaller mainly so that commuters could read them easily while sitting - or standing - on crowded public transport. Non-native speakers of English often have great difficulty in understanding newspaper headlines and vocabulary. The words tabloids use are shorter and snappier, catch the eye, use up less space, are more emotive - and help sell newspapers!
