This is cool! How to detect lies...

How to Detect Lies
Become a Lie Detector
--------------------------------
Introduction to Detecting Lies:

The following techniques to telling if someone is lying are often used by police, and security experts. This knowledge is also useful for managers, employers, and for anyone to use in everyday situations where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a victim of fraud/scams and other deceptions.

Warning: Sometimes Ignorance is bliss; after gaining this knowledge, you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you.

Signs of Deception:
Body Language of Lies:

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.

• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.

• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.
Emotional Gestures & Contradiction

• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.

• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says 'I love it!' when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.

• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”

• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.
Interactions and Reactions

• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.

Moving and running

By the way, i have a xanga blog and it looks flashier than this one (altho its still black)
--- http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=yukkit

wow. i haven't been blogging/xangaing for quite a long time. One week? two weeks? I can't even remember. One thing i do know is that i haven't posted anything after i moved! Yes i finally moved. It is a re-occuring nightmare, as my family moves around every so often. Hopefully we won't move again before i go to uni/ performing arts academy.

The moving experience was, of course, literally, painful. We didn't hire anyone to help us to move, since my mum thought that we could move ALL the furnitures, books, clothes, accessories by ourselves (me, my bro and mum), so we just hired a truck. It was very irritating as we load all the stuff onto the truck while the massive truck driver just sat there and watched (and probably laughing at us). Everyone knows how weak i am! My whole body ache for like the following two days! One piece of advice from yukkit: Never attempt to move by yourself if u have any type of normal big keyboard/piano!

What else... oh yes went to two of those long distance running race/competitions thingy last week. Each is about 8 ~ 10 km and normally u get a sports shirt, water and some disgusting fruit as souvenir after the race. Many members of my extended family participates! We don't win of course, not even close (most of us are normally like the last 200 ppl except my uncles) we just like to participate! These running races are like our family outings lol. They are sort-of (minus the sweat, smell, fatigue etc etc) you guys should participate as well!!!

I can't believe one quarter of our holiday has already gone by. I mean, i still haven't done anything PRODUCTIVE!!! (except moving and running) So i make a vow again --- i will get something done this week!!

PS Meeting Raina on wednesday (3.00pm) at central library for legal assignment, hopefully i won't forget! Remind me if i do.

Yay the holidays... or boo the holidays?

After eleven weeks of intense learning, the four week (well for me, 5) mental recoperation has finally arrived. wOOt wOOt! Party all night and all day ... for most people except me . For some reasons i hate parties. I don't get invited often and most of the time i turn them down anyway. Why? Because... I don't know. Perhaps i prefer staying home doing stuff with myself? or maybe i am just scared of meeting new people. I think I have a semi solitary illness or a "scared of new people" sickness. I hate meeting strangers, especially talking to them except for non-personal businesses. I think i am improving but i still feel really uncomfortable around new people.

So what do I do in the holidays? Well for the past dozens of holidays I planned to study a bit, work out a bit, practise the piano/music a bit, write a bit and think a bit. And for the past dozens of holidays I did nothing except sleep, eat and play computer/ps2 games. Pathetic aye!? But that's me... i lack discipline. However THIS holiday, THIS holiday i am going to do all the above, i am going to make this holiday a PRODUCTIVE one!!

After the holidays i'll be a changed person!! wOOt!

Just uploading this for my Xanga site!

Masturbation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Masturbation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, most often to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation), but commonly refers to such activities performed alone. It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism, which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices. Some people are only able to achieve orgasm by masturbation rather than sexual intercourse. In the animal kingdom, masturbation has been observed in many mammallian species, both in the wild and in captivity."

Sorry guys this is just a random post about Masturbation. Its random i just wanna try out the "blogthis!" function. Sorry!

Accepting who i am

Noone visits my blog anymore :( do i write too much? sorry... i can't help it. Doing my biology study notes atm (as well as some ps2 here and there) but i got a bit bored so here i am!

I think i am beginning to accept who i really am. I was never able to accept who i am... simply because i am ashamed. Ashamed of myself, my personality, the truth. People often criticise me and everytime i go through a process of denial, i refuse to believe that i am as bad as people say i am. Therefore i make excuses for myself, i tell myself that other people are wrong, they don't know about the REAL me.

However, i finally realise i am the only one who's wrong, the only one who's denying the truth.

So, who am i? Well, i'll start off with the basics... I am Yuk-Kit Chan, 16 years old, born in Hong Kong. I didn't twist these facts because i am not ashamed of them... but what i don't accept is...

• That i am really one of the ugliest people around the world, and altho i appear to accept this, i don't, until these few days
• That i don't care about anyone else except myself, I care for other people for my own benefits, not theirs
• That i have a bad personality, i am a hypocrite and i look down on poor people and envy rich people
• That i participate in all the extra-cirricular activites not because i want to, but because i wanna be famous and have a good reputation
• That i don't love anyone and if i say i do, i just want to use them (in all sorts of ways) and make myself look good.
  
• That i probably don't have as much friends as i claim i do
• That i am a very very jealous person
• That i am a 100% show-off

It was hard for me to admit all of the followings, but i had to, or else i would become more and more twisted and... unhuman.

I wanna try changing myself, i wanna become a better person... but i know i have a long way to go...

"Too much to do?" I don't think so!

My Editorial:
How often do students find themselves having too much on their plates? How often do these students moan, groan and blame other people for the excess of responsibilities and work?

I found myself on the verge of breaking down this week and the week before. I just had too much to do within these two weeks. I had to prepare a China Cycling Presentation, edit this issue of Newspaper, make bandannas for Eucalypt Mufti day, as well as catching an insect for biology. I was so frustrated. I didn't know how i was going to get all four things done. I was moaning everyday, trying to think of someone to blame for my excess of responsibilities and work.

But even if i tried my hardest, I couldn't think of anyone to blame other than myself. It was me who left everything unfinished in the last "minute". It was me who was willing to take on most of these responsibilities myself in the first place. I couldn't possibly blame anyone for my laziness and decisions.

In the end, I was able to get everything done, after many late nights. However, for some of them , the quality is really poor. I regret not having planned ahead and rushing through everything in the last minute.

These kind of incidents actually happen to a lot of students. We often moan about how all the assignment are due on the same day and how much homework we have. Yet, we never seem to remember that we got our assignments several weeks before it was due. Most people have the tendancy to start doing the assignments in the last couple of weeks, and blame the teachers for giving them too much to do in such a short time. As for homework, some of them you can actually complete in class, instead of chatting with your friends and fooling around.

If you plan ahead and be more concentrated in classes, you will find yourself moaning less, complaining less and blaming less.
