SACRAMENTO – Nine juvenile offenders from the Southern Correctional Reception Center and Clinic graduated today from a unique program that teaches personal skills that will help them live more constructively when they return to their communities. They received informal diplomas in patience, compassion, discipline and responsibility after spending the last 12 weeks caring for abandoned and abused dogs rescued from a Southern California animal shelter and training them in basic obedience skills so that the dogs could be united with new owners who adopted them. Four dogs rescued from the Southeast Animal Control Authority in Downey represent the third graduating class of the Pups and Wards Program (PAWS), which is exclusively offered at the Division of Juvenile Justice facility in Norwalk. It is designed to teach care-giving techniques and life skills to youthful offenders by making them responsible for a live animal. “This program provides an opportunity for youth to perform a service to the community and teaches them skills such as compassion, patience and responsibility, which will help them throughout their lives after they return to their communities,” said Bernard Warner, Chief Deputy Secretary for Juvenile Justice, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The four dogs have received around the clock care from the youth, who were responsible for creating a nurturing environment where the animals could be rehabilitated from previous abuse and for training them in basic obedience commands. The program gives youth the opportunity to learn new skills to get a fresh start in life, much like the dogs they cared for. During the graduation ceremonies at the Norwalk facility, youth put the dogs through their paces, showing off their newfound skills to follow commands. The dogs then left the facility with their new owners, who were matched by Janette Thomas, from the Pawsitivity Dog Training Program, who also tutored the youth on how to care for and train the dogs. |

Pitot all kinds of sensor is used to measure the speed of the airplane. It is a differential Pressure Sensor . It measures the difference between a static port (not in the air stream) and a Pitot tube which is directly placed in the path of Nagano keiki Pressure sensor air flow.When the plane is stationary, the pressure in both the tubes is equal and abs speed sensor the air speed is zero. When the plane is moving, air enters the pitot mazda 6 suction control valve . This causes the pressure difference between the suction control valve and the pitot tube. An internal amplifier creates an amplified voltage output and hence the sensor can be connected directly to Speed Sensor and data acquisition systems. The output voltage changes with the difference in pressure between the two ports.VW & AUDI SERIES PEUGEOT & CITROEN SERIES RENAULT SERIES VOLVO SERIES
