To say “pit bull,” however, is a vague reference to several pit bull types, which are considered separate breeds by registries like the American Kennel Club (AKC). Each type has a slightly different breeding history; many began with the breeding of bulldogs with terriers to produce a loyal, compact and tenacious breed (“American Pit Bull Terrier”). The standard three pit bull types most often mentioned by name in breed-specific legislation include the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. That is not the extent of the legislation, however, which also includes dogs that “substantially conform to the breed standards established by the American Ken...

According to the United Kennel Club (UKC), the standard for the American Pit Bull Terrier is a dog that is square and powerful with a blocky head, prominent cheeks and jaw, taut, and muscular body. The dog’s ears maybe cropped or snipped. These dogs have a deep chest, and a short, glossy coat of any color. Size can range from 30-50 pounds for females and 35-60 pounds for males.

We all know or have heard of the racing sport NASCAR. Cars race around a track in close quarters for 500 miles, at an average speed of 200 miles per hours, for an average race length of three and a half hours with pit stops and caution laps. Most NASCAR fans consider the drivers athletes for enduring such high intensity races, but what most people don’t understand is that there are other athletes on the track that do not get recognized as athletes. What I am talking about are the NASCAR Pit Crew’s; they are athletes just like the diver and they train as hard as diver, but Pit Crew Challenges get looked over as a sport. Let’s face it, most people watch NASCAR races to see amazing crashes, but they also watch to see how fast the pit crew teams
Everyone is scared of something, whether it be heights, clowns, or fear itself. Some people loathe being scared, while others relish the experience.

In North Carolina, a state known for quirky local legends like the Brown Mountain Lights or the Beast of Bladenboro. In fact, in the western part of the state, and specifically in the Appalachians, superstition and old wife’s tales are so deeply ingrained into people that it is common place to believe in ghost and otherworldly beings. Every single town in North Carolina has at least one haunted place, or has had an inhabitant experience a ghostly encounter. These legends are a sense of pride and are most often told not around a campfire but through a dramatic play or most commonly, through song. Folk songs are widely popular in the smaller towns, and even with the rise in modern music every good ol’ country son or daughter has heard a song dealing with a local superstition. In Chatham

Chandler should allow Sunrise’s Guardian division to introduce the lightweight standard wheelchair even though there is concern that it might compete with Sunrise’s Quickie division. There are many reasons for this. First, due in part to Medicare’s recent recognition of the lightweight standard wheelchair category, the annual U.S. sales of $70 million in this category is expected to grow 15% annually. Second, Quickie and Guardian both penetrate the distribution channels in different ways. Quickie sells its products through rehab suppliers, and caters to new users and younger, active patients. Guardian, on the other hand, who caters to the elderly, does not sell its products through rehab suppliers. If Guardian introduces the lightweight standard
The objective of my experiment was to observe how people reacted to a violation in the social norms of elevator etiquette. Generally in elevators, people fill in starting from the back, face the elevator doors, and rarely make verbal contact with others. Unless the passengers of the elevator know each other, conversation is sparse and often limited to small-talk. As a result of this, my goal in the experiment was to introduce a foreign behavior to the elevator, something that nobody would expect while going about their day. Thus, I entered a situation where a certain set of expectations was in place, such as the informal rule that individuals should stand (rather than sit) in an elevator, and violated those unspoken rules without acting in
