Interpreting body language - Everybody lies

Téged elárul a testbeszéded? Ebből az ingyenes online szövegértés feladatból megtudhatod.

Az emberek időnkét nem teljesen bontják ki az igazság szirmait. Ilyenkor testünk önkéntelenül is jelzi a hazugságot a másik félnek. Te tudsz a jelekből olvasni?

You’re probably better than you think, according to the experts. There’s a popular series on US television (Lie to Me) all about a body language expert.lie2me

English actor Tim Roth plays the part of Dr Cal Lightman – the world’s leading “deception expert”. He solves crimes by observing suspects during questioning. And if someone lies, he knows it.

The series is inspired by a real-life expert who helps with criminal cases and investigations. He does this by “reading” the human face, body and voice.

Intelligent trees

Trees talk, know family ties and care for their young? Is this too fantastic to be true? German forester Peter Wohlleben ('The Hidden Life of Trees') and scientist Suzanne Simard (The University of British Columbia, Canada) have been observing and investigating the communication between trees over decades. And their findings are most astounding. 

Intelligent Trees from Dorcon Film on Vimeo.

Trees are so much more than rows of wood waiting  to be turned into furniture, buildings or firewood. They are more than organisms producing oxygen or cleaning the air for us. They are individual beings that have feelings, know friendship have a common language and look after each other. This documentary explores the various ways that trees communicate with each other- from a forester's observations as well as through the microscope of a scientist.

If the themes of harmony, connection, and collaboration between humans and trees in the movie Avatar inspired you, stand by. That fiction was inspired in part by real life trees... And scientists, as it turns out. But there's more. Much more. And it has global implications for us all (Rachel Clark, "Smart Trees teach via new Film and Bestselling Book", Psychology Today).

Together, Wohlleben and Simard are a tree dream team (Melissa Breyer, "Trees can form bonds like an old couple and look after each other ", Treehugger.com).

15 clever psychological tricks which everyone should know

The following psychological tricks will make your life easier and help you cope with stressful situations. They’re well worth reading.

1. When a group of people laughs, people instinctively look toward the group members they feel closest to (or want to feel closest to).
2. Chew gum or eat food if you’re doing something that would normally make you feel nervous. It tricks a primal part of your brain into thinking you couldn’t be in danger because you’re eating.

You are a romantic who enjoys strolling through cobblestone streets and markets. You are inspired by art and architecture, and thrive being surrounded by other artists and intellectuals. You enjoy the bustle of a city, but also love spending time in the warm countryside, sitting at a cafe, and having a glass of wine or coffee. Your soul is nourished by being in nature, and by having deep meaningful conversation about love, art, and the meaning of life.

Curiosity killed the cat - wanna, gonna, ain't

Hello?
Hello?

Hey, how you're doin'?                                                            how are you?

I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded                           because   
Especially for you

And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you                                                                                   
You can leave a message now if you want to
When the bleeps are through

I sure wish you'd hurry home
I think I'm lost and I wanna be found                                         want to
Feels like I'm wondering round nowhere land

All I'm after is to see your sunshine smile and laughter
I feel like calling you, feel like some contact
I feel like phonin', but I can't get through                                  

Hey, how you're doin'?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through                                            not available
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you

And if you leave a name and a number
We'll get back right to you
You can leave a message now if you want to
When the bleeps are through

(Isn't that as well so wrong, wrong, wrong)

I'm trapped in a timelock zone
Gonna have to face this on my own                                          I'm going to
Still gonna wonder round that nowhere land

gotta = have got to = have to :)
I gotta go - I have got to go - I've got to go -  mennem kell

How To Be More Patient With Your Kids (OR anyone)

February 1, 2016 by Becky Mansfield

http://kidsactivitiesblog.com

You trip over a shoe in the middle of the hallway, you step on a matchbox car and you see yet another shirt lying on the floor in their room.  You try not to yell, because you are trying to be more patient with your kids.
Wait.

Didn’t you already ask them to clean their room… twice?   Yet it is still a mess?  It can be easy to lose your temper with your kids when things like this happen.  I get it.  After all… I’m a mom, too.

Yelling, arguing, angry looks … all things that happen when we lose our patience.   It isn’t the way that I want my children to remember me or the way that I want them to parent their own children one day.
Today we are talking about how to be more patient with our kids:

'Out of the box' thinking

Drawing Brain Teaser Puzzle (with Solution) (File Size: 0.1MB) This brain teaser puzzle for kids and teens is plain 'sneaky'! We've all had a go at those 'try drawing this shape' puzzles before but this one immediately appears to be impossible. There is a solution to this brain teaser of course but it involves some considerable 'outside the box' thinking ...... and around the other side of the paper too!
