After demonstrating the test, Mr. Singletary advised he understood and was “ready” to begin. On my first “left” command, the subject missed touching the tip of his nose, striking the center of his upper lip then slowly lowered his arm. On the command “right,” the suspect touched his right nostril with the tip of his finger. His movements back to his body were very slow and exaggerated. After failing to bring his arms down immediately after touching his nose, I advised him that his hand was to return down to his side immediately. During the test, I observed eyelid tremors in both of his eyes and a clockwise sway, ranging from 2”-3” back and forth. The rest of the test was completed with no deviations from the…
He was sitting by the front door, eyes bigger than I have ever seen. I could hear him wailing with excitement as I made my way to the house.

Ryder let out an ear-splitting howl as he gently jumped up putting his rough, front paws softly on my shoulder. We were eye to eye as he licked my nose, leaving a dog-breath smell in its wake. Normally,…

HOW I HEALED MY PIERCING (NOSE, HELIX, TRAGUS) My first piercing was ear lobe piercing, which I don't remember. When I was in high school I added two more piercing on my upper lobe at the same time. They healed pretty much good. Before starting college I did my nose piercing, which was good at first but it got worst later. During the sophomore year, I did my helix, very painful until it healed completely. When I started my professional job, I did my tragus. It was very painful from the moment…

to scuba divers using communication equipment has contributed to NOC developing speech mimicking capabilities.

Most people who do not have piercings and who do not understand the motives behind the actions would agree that people are altering themselves motivated…
