10 Easy Ways to Recognize Liars

10 Easy Ways to Recognize Liars-People lie all the time, but depending on how skilled they are, it can be difficult to determine when someone is lying to you. Do you know how to recognize the signs that someone is lying to you? Some of the signs are obvious while others are more subliminal, but there are ways to catch someone in a lie, you just need to know what they are. Here are some easy ways to recognize liars and catch lies:

1.) A person who is lying to you won't make eye contact with you or they make too much eye contact. If a person is lying they may feel you are scrutinizing them and they will look down at the floor or away from your eyes. Some people try to stare you in the face in a deliberate way because they feel like making eye contact will make what they are saying more believable.

2.) Liars avoid using contractions…. “I did NOT have sexual intercourse with at woman”. This is an attempt by the liar to be absolutely clear what they mean but it ends up making the story a lot less believable. Stalling tactics are also common. The liar may ask you a question like “where did you get that information?” while they try to back peddle and come up with an explanation for your question.

3.) Weird Body Language. Liars often fidget, turn away from the person to whom they are speaking, blink rapidly, smile less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice. They may cross their arms which is a sign of being “closed” or trying not to reveal too much information. Sometimes people fidget excessively when they are lying. They could fidget with a part of their body or touch parts of their face, an ear or a nose or play with keys or another item that they have in their hand.

4.) Liars provide additional information without being asked for it. They seem to think that by embellishing their story you will find it more believable. What happens is they tend to make the story more complicated and less believable. The more elaborate the story, the more likely that it is a fabrication and nothing near the truth.

5.) A person who is telling a lie will get defensive. They will do everything in their power to deflect your attention away from themselves and will get angry that you are questioning their innocence. People who are telling the truth tend to go the opposite way and go on the offense. This will become obvious to you when you are trying to have a conversation with a person and they try to change the subject or move the conversation in a different direction.

6.) If a person is lying they tend to over-embellish insignificant details while avoiding important ones. Exaggerated details make the liar feel better, but the person who is hearing the lie will start to get the feeling that something is definitely amiss. This can make it easier to catch a person in a lie because you can jot down details of the story that you are being told and then ask questions about those details later to see if they are still the same.

7.) Watch the eye movements of the person. If a person is remembering something they tend to move their eyes up and in a left direction if they are right handed. If they are making something up, their eyes wil move up and to the right. Left handed people do similar movements but in the opposite direction. People blink rapidly (“eye flutter”) when they lie or they may rub their eyes. Eyelids also tend to close a little bit longer than a normal blink if a person hears something or sees something they they do ont like. Hand movements towards the eyes can be a further indication of “blocking out” the truth.

8.) Some people sweat more when they are telling a lie. Measuring perspiration is one of the markers of a polygraph test but is not an indication on its own of a person telling a lie. Some people sweat more when they are nervous or if they are shy. Sweating together with blushing, trembling and difficulty swallowing can be a clear better indication that someone that is lying to you.

9.) Watch for micro expressions. The true measure of a person's emotions will quickly flash across their face at the beginning of a conversation. It could be a half smile that lasts for five seconds or a worried look that lasts the same amount of time. These micro expressions are sometimes noticed by people subconsciously and they tend to know right away that a person is lying, although they do not know how they know this. A lot of people tend to feel a “gut instinct” about something such as a person who is lying, and this is usually as a result of seeing a micro-expression during a conversation. The micro expression is quick but if you watch for it you can see it.

10.) Ask the liar to repeat their story again. If the story is fabricated it can be very difficult to remember all of the details that they gave to you the first time around. You may notice that the person looks very uncomfortable and worried about what they are going to say to you when you ask them to repeat details that they clearly made up the first time around.

Most of the time it is easy to tell when someone is lying to you because you feel it and you know that the person is not being one hundred per cent truthful. If you start to look more closely at the person's behavior and movements, you will start to notice a lot more things more easily. At first you may have chalked these things up to a gut feeling, but soon you will see that you are more observant than you had originally thought. Liars are easy to spot when you follow some main guidelines and start to be more observant of the person that you are talking to.

Top 10 Fastest Ways to Memorize

Shhh… don’t let anyone else see this information, it’s as lethal as poison! Today I am going to reveal 10 Methods the pro’s use in order to memorize anything. Here is how to do it…

I urge you to close the door, turn off your cellphone and listen attentively. The following list contains ten proven techniques to memorize information, ready? O.K, here we go:

1. Don’t Let Yourself Be Disturbed

I used this technique in the beginning of this article ie. “close the door, turn off…”

You can’t memorize something if your mind is directed towards something else,concentration is essential!

2. Learn Mnemonics

Mnemonics is a type of memory aid that basically helps a person memorize data. The more information that needs to be remembered, the more complex the mnemonic becomes. The most common type of mnemonics in school are those that rhyme…

3. Thirty days hath September

Rhyme mnemonics are often used in school, why? Because they work! It’s an excellent way of remember lists (like all the months) but it can be used in other ways as well. In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue is a famous rhyme mnemonic used in schools, so start rhyming and less whining! (I am so lame BTW)

4. Form A Silly Sentence

What’s a silly sentence you ask? To clarify this, let us say we would want to memorize 3 Swedish Cities (starting from the biggest); Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. The initiating letters are SGM and a possible silly sentence could be:

5. Abbreviations Make Life Easier

Don’t you agree? We love to say UN, US etc. instead of The United Nations, The United States Of America (what made you chose such a long word, makes it hard on us foreigners by the way…).

6. Do It Like The Talk Show Hosts

All TV-show hosts use small flashcards to help them remember the content of the show, this is proven method to bring back memories swiftly. I recommend you use a small software called Cue Card, there’s a free version hosted right here on the site.

7. Gimmicks = Bad?

For some odd reason, this word seems to radiate negative emotions, probably because gimmicks are used so extensivley in advertisements. Anyhow, the use of word games or tricks can help you process information. Try it and buy it!

8. Mind Maps – Find Your Thoughts

I’m a huge fan of mind mapping, and I recommend you to use mind maps as often as possible. I’ve already covered how mind mapping is done so I won’t go into that again. Here’s a free mind mapping software by the way, hope you enjoy it!

9. Association – The Biggest Secret

It’s really a shame that I didn’t put this in the beginning of the article, I’m sorry I forgot. Association is basically the art of linking a piece of information to something else. What’s the first thing that hits your mind when I say the word SUMMER?

Did you think about heat, ice cream, vacation, swimming or anything related to those activities? We think about heat because we relate this word to the term summer, it comes naturally without any real effort.

This is perhaps the biggest memory secret around, learn how to associate the information you want to remember with some piece of information that you won’t forget. It works like a charm, I promise!

10. Always Explore New Methods

What better place to do that than right here! I’ve written a comprehensive Study Guide which covers this matter (How To Memorize Fast), but if you are not interested (which you should be… ^^) you can always Subscribe To This Blog. It’s free and takes only a couple of seconds (that is to say, if you still remember to do it!).

Did you like this article or despise it? Let us know what you feel by commenting. Stumbleupon users can stumble this post it if they’d like, have a nice summer guys!

Russian Man to Undergo World's First Human Head Transplant

Computer programmer Valery Spiridonov is battling a rare genetic muscle wasting disease and wants his head to be transplanted to a new body

Revolutionary op: Valery Spiridonov hopes to get new body

A man who wants to be the world's first head transplant patient is set to meet the surgeon who has been lined up to carry out ground-breaking 36-hour procedure.

Computer programmer Valery Spiridonov has the rare genetic Werdnig-Hoffman muscle wasting disease and wants his head to be transplanted to a new body.

The 30-year-old, who only has one leg and is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, hopes to have the breakthrough operation in 2017.

Valery, from Vladimir in Russian, has appealed to President Vladimir Putin to help fund research into the pioneering project.

And his dream has moved a step closer as he is set to meet Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero and other leading neurosurgeons next Thursday in New York.

Desperate: Valery has appealed for funding for op

He said: "This is ground-breaking research and we need a lot of funding. If I can get the right body I will look after it and nourish it.

"This could transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Where there is an opportunity there is hope."

Valery admits the prospect of going through with the operation is terrifying.

He added: "I am afraid, but what people don't really understand is I don't really have many choices.

"If I don't try this out my fate will be very sad. With every year my situation is getting worse."

He added: "My decision is final and I do not plan to change my mind."

Wheelchair: Valery cannot walk

Dr Canavero said he had received many emails and letters from people seeking the operation and added that he had already decided the first patient would be someone suffering from a muscle-wasting disease.

The Frankenstein-like procedure has some medical precedent as it was recently reported that Chinese scientists had carried out a head transplant on a mouse.

But most medical experts say a human head transplant is pure fantasy.

President elect of the American Association for Neurological Surgeons Dr Hunt Batjer told CNN: "I would not wish this on anyone.

"I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there are a lot of things worse than death."

If you put yourself to Valery's situation would you be willing to undergo?

Yes

No

Pink Lake Hillier in Australia

Lake Hillier is a pink-colored lake on Middle Island, the largest of the islands and islets that make up the Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia. From above the lake appears a solid bubble gum pink. It is such a significant distinguishing feature of the archipelago that air passengers often crane their necks to take a glimpse of it.

The lake is about 600 meters long, and is surrounded by a rim of sand and a dense woodland of paperbark and eucalyptus trees. A narrow strip of sand dunes covered by vegetation separates it to the north from the Southern Ocean.

Unlike other pink lakes in the world like the one in Retba and the salt ponds at San Francisco Bay, the pink color of Lake Hillier has not been decisively proved, although it is speculated that the color could arise from a dye created by the organisms Dunaliella salina and Halobacteria. Another hypothesis is that the pink color is due to red halophilic bacteria in the salt crusts. That the color is not a trick of light can be proved by taking water from the lake in a container – the pink color can be found to be permanent.

One of the first evidence of Middle Island's pink lake dates back to the journals of Matthew Flinders, a British navigator and hydrographer in 1802. Flinders had climbed Middle Island's highest peak (now known as Flinders Peak) to survey the surrounding waters when he came across this remarkable pink lake. Except for a few years when salt extraction was being carried out here, the island and its pink lake has been almost untouched and has since then provide visitors with one of the most amazing view of the world's natural wonder.

The New AIDS - Silent Killer Bug That Can End The World

ALERT: Silent Killer Bug Now In U.S. – It’s Being Called ‘The New AIDS’.

 This deadly bug creeps in the night and bites you on your face while you’re fast asleep, and you never know what happened until you become dangerously ill from the disease it spreads. This disease is being dubbed the “New AIDS of the Americas”  by researchers because it’s initial symptoms are hard to detect. Many call it the “kissing bug” due to its exclusive attack place being on one’s face. Doctors are calling it a silent killer – and are not completely prepared for it’s arrival.

The reduviid bug has recently made its way north onto US soil. Endemic to Latin America, it has already affected 17 residents in Houston, Texas, the Washington Post reported. The tiny insect feeds on human blood much like a mosquito, but it is specific to biting the victim’s face. Reduviid bugs carry a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease in its human hosts.

At the onset of the disease, the infected will experience fever, fatigue, body aches, rash, diarrhea and vomiting, according to the CDC. Its initial acute stage turns into a prolonged asymptomatic state for some bitten by the bug, at which time a few parasites are found in the blood. However, the disease can cause heart failure and intestinal complications over time.

“People don’t normally feel sick, so they don’t seek medical care, but it ultimately ends up causing heart disease in about 30% of those who are infected,” Nolan Garcia, an epidemiologist at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston whose research focused on Chagas disease in the US said. “We think of Chagas disease as a silent killer,” Garcia added.

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) released a report last week outlining the ramification of this bug infestation and claimed US healthcare workers lack awareness which prevents successful diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The report noted that the dearth of federally licensed drugs to combat the disease also limit patients access to treatment.

According to the CDC, Chagas disease is like the sister disease to Ebola, but much more stealthy.

Duterte's Tutuban-Malolos Railway Project to be constructed by Japan this year

The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will start the major railway project of President Rodrigo Duterte by the fourth quarter of 2017. 

The Tutuban-Malolos railway project is part of the P8-Trillion plan to modernize the country's infrastructure network that was denied by the previous administrations.

DOTr spokesperson Cherie Mercado said that JICA had completed the study of the project. The funds of the railway project will be funded through Official Development Assistance (ODA) by JICA.

November 2015, the administration of President Noynoy Aquino signed an agreement to provide the Philippines a loan up to 241.991 Billion yen for the North-South Commuter Railway Project (Malolos-Tutuban). The project was allegedly tainted by corruptions.

Meanwhile, President Duterte, in August 11, 2016 met with Japan Minister of Foreign Affairs Fumio Kishida at the Presidential Guesthouse in Panacan, Davao City and discussed the project.

Aside from the project Tutuban-Malolos, the Japanese government is also helping in the feasibility study of a 55-kilometer railway line from Malolos, Bulacan to Clark.

Japan also offered to build the first 100 kilometers of the 2,000 kilometers Mindanao Railway system.

According to DOTr and JICA, "Special Terms for Economic Partnership (STEP) will be used and applied to Tutuban-Malolos Railway project.

It is expected that high technology from Japan such as construction techniques for elevated railways, efficient signal systems and rolling stock will be utilized.

A Ritual Where Their Deads are Raised From Their Graves- Indonesia

Most of us,when our love ones die, they are laid to rest forever.But in Indonesia the dead gets many chances to see their families again

Ma'nene-its a ritual where the corpses get cleaned-families raises their dead relatives from their graves,dress them in new clothes,fix their hair and repair their coffins. They they walk the dead around the province so they can observe the living.Reports say that the Ma'nene ritual is more important than marriage and birth in Toraja culture.

Deceased loved ones are walked in straight lines around the region.

Maybe for us we find this practice so disrespectful and even unsanitary. But there’s something solemnly beautiful about families that continue to care for those they love even after their deaths.

A man brushes the hair of a dead relative, perhaps his mother or grandmother.

What you guys can say something about this?

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung may just have leaked the Samsung Galaxy S8, so the latest leak comes in all of a video and this video is from the Korean Youtube channel SAMSUNG DISPLAY showing off the latest display technologies of Samsung and we did see a mysterious device which has a super large display with minimal bezels.

source:CNET

Now base on this leak looks like we will be getting a very large display, larger and no longer gonna have a physical home button, this could mean that the fingerprint sensor is embedded within the display which is absolutely great other leaks do suggest that the device might have a 4K Display so this would be super high resolution.

We still may see a standard flat display as well as curved display like we've seen in previous years, we may also lose the headphone jack but not yet confirmed release date is rumored to be around April 18 this year

What do you think of these leaks?

What it Feels Like to Have a Granny Girlfriend???

Forget Harold and Maude. How about Kyle and Marjorie?

Kyle Jones from Pittsburgh is a 31-year-old man with an nontraditional romantic leaning towards older women -- much older women.

In 2009, Jones met 91-year-old Marjorie McCool at the book store where she worked. The two have engaged in a romantic, physical relationship ever since, and are happily dating as each brings something unique to the relationship.

At three times Jones' age, McCool is already a great grandmother, but Jones finds her lines, wrinkles, platinum hair and natural hanging neck skin attractive. Jones says he offers older women a different kind of experience than they're used to with adventure and fun things to do.

Likewise, McCool says dating somebody younger makes her feel alive again. "The physical side of the relationship is wonderful. I amaze myself and he amazes me, and I like it," says McCool in the video above.

Jones first noticed his attraction towards older women at a young age and though it took his mother, Ceceila Jones, some getting used to, she ultimately accepts her son's lifestyle. McCool is also a mother and says she sometimes feels like Jones is just another one of her children.

"I sometimes feel like he's another son, until we hop in bed. Then I feel different."

The two lovebirds are not monogamous, and Jones is also engaged in a relationship with 68-year-old Anna Ronald, who he met on a dating site.

They like to smooch, loudly.

Jones has encountered criticism, but defends his choices. "The most common [criticism] is that I'm a vulture," says Jones. "You're after money, you're after inheritance. I hear that all the time, but it's not true at all. I do this because I like it and they like it too."

To each his own.

Duterte to Implement P1000 Hike for SSS Pensioners

President Rodrigo Duterte has endorsed a P1,000 increment in the pension of resigned Social Security System (SSS) individuals this month. 

Presidential representative Ernesto Abella affirmed the news in a Palace preparation on Tuesday. 

"With respect to SSS benefits increment, the President has affirmed a P1,000 annuity increment this month," Abella said. 

He said the President needed to "satisfy a social contract with the Filipino individuals." 

"He tries to satisfy a social contract with the Filipino individuals, particularly the elderly and poor people, to give them their best lives in administration," Abella said. 

"While practicing monetary obligation, to guarantee the financial supportability and secure the individuals who put resources into the country's future," he included. 

Be that as it may, the Palace official said individuals would have "a relating 1.5 percent commitment rate climb in May 2017 and increment in month to month pay credit to P20,000 based from P16,000." 

"To guarantee supportability, SSS is setting set up, one: legitimate activity arrangements to diminish commitment misconduct. For instance, escalate legitimate gathering and alluded reprobate and resistant bosses," he said. 

Duterte affirmed the climb in the midst of calls for him to sign the proposition for a P2,000 increment in the annuity of SSS retirees. 

P2,000 climb by 2022 

SSS seat Amado Valdez said the principal P1,000 increment would produce results this January while the second P1,000 increment would be in 2022 or considerably prior "subject to conditionalities." 

Valdez expressed gratitude toward the President for his "feeling of tending to our retired people." 

"We need to thank lavishly our President for his feeling of tending to our retired people. We likewise need to thank the financial chiefs for their reasonability in reminding us we need to guarantee the maintainability of the store. In doing as such, the life expectancy of the reserve will even pass the edge of 2042 and maybe past," he said. 

SSS President Emmanuel Dooc, in the interim, said the organization has enough finances to bolster the benefits climb this month. 

"This will produce results this month, in case I'm not mixed up, but rather perhaps because of some framework necessity since we require a recomputation, we have to set up a table, there might be a slight postponement," Dooc said. 

The SSS President said the SSS commitment climb would now be at 12. 5 percent beginning May, from the present 11 percent. 

"We will expand it by 12.5% as proposed by the commission. We need to actualize it by May this year," he said. JE/rga

Man, 66, goes to Doctor and finds he is a Woman

A 66-year-old apparently male patient made a stunning discovery when he sought treatment for swelling in his abdomen. The swelling was a cyst on his ovary and he was in fact a woman.

The condition was caused by a very rare combination of two genetic disorders. One, Turner syndrome, causes women to lack some female features, including the ability to get pregnant.

Sufferers usually look like women, but in this case the patient also had congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which boosted the male hormones and made the patient look like a man.

The case was reported by doctors from Kwong Wah Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, who treated the patient. It was published in the Hong Kong Medical Journal yesterday.

"The patient, by definition, is a woman who cannot get pregnant. But she also has CAH, which gave her the appearance of a man," Chinese University paediatrics professor Ellis Hon Kam-lun said. "It's an interesting and very rare case of having the two combinations. It probably won't be seen again in the near future."

The 66-year-old Vietnam-born Chinese man is an orphan. He has a beard, small penis and no testes. Just 1.37 metres tall, he has decided to continue perceiving himself as a male and may receive male hormone treatment, the report said.

When pressed, he disclosed a long history of urinary leakage and arrest of growth after puberty at the age of 10.

Only six cases of a patient with both conditions have been reported in medical literature. This patient was diagnosed later in life than any of the others.

Turner's syndrome has an estimated prevalence of one in 2,500 to 3,000 females.

Normal females have a pair of X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y.

Turner syndrome patients have only one X. They usually had the appearance of girls and the condition was identified when they reached puberty and did not menstruate, Hon said.

Private gynaecologist Dr Kun Ka-yan said Turner syndrome was rarer now as most sufferers were identified in prenatal tests. Women would usually choose an abortion as the disease can bring other health problems, including mental disability.

See this tiny little steel path with no handrails? Yep, that’s a hundred foot drop if you accidentally trip. Parts of the pathway have even crumbled, and yet people still flock to it to get their thrills. 

2. Alnwick Gardens, United Kingdom

This garden is full of plants that can actually kill you. Visitors are kept at a safe distance, but some have still fainted from the toxic fumes in the air.

This trail is literally a leap of faith. Many climb it to get to the temples atop the mountain. The picture speaks for itself when I tell you it’s the most dangerous hike in the world. There are some areas where there aren’t even any planks and you just have to wedge your feet onto the cracks of the mountain face. Some say that 100 people die every year on the path, although there are no official statistics. 

4.Yosemite National Park’s Half Dome 

This day long climb ends with this terrifying cliff that you have to scale. 60 people have died on it. Two hikers who fell in 2011 had their bodies swept away by the rapid waters below. Not only do you have to worry about falling, lightening has also struck the mountain face. Anyone else reminded of the wall on Game of Thrones?

5.Mount Pinatubo, Philippines

In 1991, Mount Pinatubo erupted unexpectedly and took with it 800 lives. Again in 1992, it erupted and killed 72 people. And yet people still come from all over to hike the crater lake. That’s a big NOPE for me. 

6.Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park 

The climb is fairly difficult, but the danger comes from the high volume of people up on the narrow cliff top with sheer drops on each side.
