Luckily, there are signs we can look for when trying to detect a lie.
Dr. Lillian Glass, a behavioral analyst and body language expert who has worked with the FBI on unmasking signals of deception, says when trying to figure out if someone is lying, you first need to understand how the person normally acts. Then you'll want to pay careful attention to their facial expressions, body language, and speech patterns, she writes in her book "The Body Language of Liars."
Here is something I have done for my ESL discussion class. It is a very simple one. I also added an extra slide showing a piece of homework. You can download it. You can also make some changes that suit your teaching method and your students' learning styles.
Have you ever wished that you could tell when someone is lying to you?
Most people have lied one way or another in their life. In fact, lying has become part of human nature. Sometimes we have to tell lies in order to avoid hurting somebody else. As the saying goes, what the person doesn\'t know won\'t hurt him. However, if discovering the truth is what you\'re after, then these tips on how to detect a lie will help you find out if you\'re being duped or not.
You have watched 9 easy ways to catch a liar. There are 8 more useful ways to find out if a person is lying to you at: http://vkool.com/ways-to-catch-a-liar/. Read them now for your wisdom.
Easy ways to catch a liar that anyone should know to live wisely.
1. Watch For Eye Contact
Watching for eye contact is one of the easy ways to catch a liar. If people are lying to you, they will not make eye contact. Or, on the contrary; they sometimes make too much eye contact. These people may feel that they are being inspected by you, so they always look away from your eyes.
2. Watch For Contractions
Liars do not like using contractions. For example, a liar usually say “I did not take the money” instead of “I didn’t take the money”, or “I am a business man” instead of “I’m a business man”. They are not using contractions as they want to make sure that what they say is completely clear to you.
3. Watch For Body Language
Watching for body language is also one of the easy ways to catch a liar as people who are lying often use weird body language. They do not smile much, and usually have pitch changes in their voice as they are fidget while telling lie. Some liars touch their face, ears, nose, or play with what they are holding in their hands.
4. Watch For Additional Information
Liars are interested in providing extra information though they are not asked. They believe that if they embellish their stories with details, you will find them more reliable. Remember that the more elaborate a story is, the more inauthentic it is.
5. Watch For Contradictions
This is one of the easiest ways to catch a liar. You can compare what people say with their gestures and voice to guess if they are lying. If what they do does not fit what they say, then they are lying to you.
6. Watch For Defense
Liars are fond of getting defensive. They can do anything to distract your attention from themselves. You can easily realize this when the liars are trying to change the topic, or draw the conversation to a different direction.
7. Watch For Sweat
Watching for sweat is another easy way to catch a liar. The fact is that many people sweat more when they are telling lie. This has been studied by experts in behavior. These experts conclude that people sweat more when they are shy or nervous. Therefore, sweating and blushing, trembling, or difficulty in swallowing can be remarkable signs of a liar.
8. Watch For Eye Movements
If people are making up something, their eyes tend to move up, and to the right. They will also blink more rapidly or rub their eyes. Their eyelids also close longer in comparison to a normal blink.
9. Watch For Motivation
Normally, people will not tell lie without a reason. Therefore, you should ask yourself whether those people you are talking to have something to gain when they lie to you. If you cannot find a good reason, do not conclude that they are liars.

How pharma and healthcare brands can improve their customer experienceJack Morton Worldwide
The SVP and Managing Director of Jack’s Chicago office, Matt Pensinger, presented at Lions Health 2015 with Katie Bang from Eli Lilly and Company about improving the customer experience for patients:
There is growing recognition amongst healthcare brands that understanding the full patient journey is essential for success in today’s healthcare environment. The sheer extent of this both physical and emotional journey, from awareness through to treatment and adherence, opens the patient to many potential experience gaps between their expectations and reality that can lead to frustration, disillusionment and even dropping the prescribed treatment.
So, healthcare companies must understand this journey if they are to improve the customer experience – and offer necessary patient support that extends far beyond a given medication. Being truly effective requires that the entire organisation (from science through to sales) understands the patient journey in order to meet patient needs and effectively engage the many stakeholders that are becoming increasingly important to a therapy’s success.
This is a significant undertaking and healthcare brands and their marketing agencies need to think differently about how they engage with patients and support communications for all the other stakeholders. This talk will examine the experience journey and what it means for the way we market.

Body language has all sorts of influences on people and we use it to communicate in many situations without even being aware that we are doing so. Most of us have a vague understanding of what body language is but might be hard pressed to pin a definition on the concept. Essentially though it is reasonably straight forward. Body language is any method of communication using our body. It includes both verbal (what we say, our tone and the volume we use) and non-verbal (body movements, facial expressions, hand gestures and posture. These different elements sometimes communicate more than we mean them to and they have accurately been described as ‘a silent orchestra that can have long-lasting repercussions’.
Body Language by N.G.Palit. Body Language is the language which our body sp...Nanda Palit
Body Language is the language which our bodies speak, many times even without our conscious knowledge. But, when we speak, our body language must be in congruence with our oral words. People tend to believe our body language more than what we speak, whenever there is any variance between the two. Body language is a truth teller. We must improve our body language if we want to be a more effective communicator. Observing other's body language also helps us to understand what others want to actually convey. So, closely observing body language can greatly improve our interpersonal skills, and help us to maintain cordial relationship with every body.

The difference between China and Greek Mythology By Abhishek JaguessarAbhishek Jaguessar
n primitive society, mythologies began to appear in many nations. Mythologies are the collection of ancient philosophy and the explorations of nature and society. They are the source of historical and cultural of every nation and they reflect the life, labor, thoughts and wishes in the childhood period of human beings.

A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond and demand to their children. Parenting practices are specific behaviors, while parenting styles represent broader patterns of parenting practices

Shiva (or Siva) is one of the most important gods in the Hindu pantheon and, along with Brahma and Vishnu, is considered a member of the holy trinity (trimurti) of Hinduism. A complex character, he may represent goodness, benevolence and serve as the Protector but he also has a darker side as the leader of evil spirits, ghosts and vampires and as the master of thieves, villains and beggars. He is also associated with Time, and particularly as the destroyer of all things. Nevertheless, Shiva is also associated with creation. In Hinduism, the universe is thought to regenerate in cycles (every 2,160,000,000 years). Shiva destroys the universe at the end of each cycle which then allows for a new Creation. Shiva is also the great ascetic, abstaining from all forms of indulgence and pleasure, concentrating rather on meditation as a means to find perfect happiness. He is the most important Hindu god for the Shaivism sect, the patron of Yogis and Brahmins, and also the protector of the Vedas, the sacred texts.

Mahavidyas (Great Wisdoms) or Dasha-Mahavidyas are a
group of ten aspects of devi Parvati or Goddess Shakti in
Hinduism. The 10 Mahavidyas are Wisdom Goddesses,
aspects of devi Parvati, who represents a spectrum of
feminine divinity, from horrific goddesses at one end, to
the gentle at the other.
The development of Mahavidyas represents an important
turning point in the history of Shaktism as it marks the rise
of Bhakti aspect in Shaktism, which reached its zenith in
1700 CE. First sprung forth in the post-Puranic age, around
6th century C.E., it was a new theistic movement in which
the Supreme Being was envisioned as female. A fact
epitomized by texts like Devi-Bhagavata Purana, especially
its last nine chapters (31-40) of the seventh skandha,
which are known as the Devi Gita, and soon became
central texts of Shaktism.
