How To Clean Your Belly Button
The belly button can be a difficult area on your body to clean, especially because we forget about it so often.

How To Of The Day: How To Catch A Liar
How To Catch A Liar
Pamela Meyer, the nation’s best-known expert on lying, explains how to sniff out the truth in a world of lies.
A liar often smiles subtly while telling a lie; it’s an unconscious expression of his delight in getting away with a whopper. There’s a famous photo in which Adolf Hitler was smiling while talking to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain at the meeting where Hitler concealed that he’d already mobilized his army to attack Poland. Other signs are when a person makes big changes in posture, like slumping in his chair or looking down. There are also verbal signals. Someone may repeat a question to stall for time. A liar may swear on the Bible or his mother’s grave that he didn’t do something; it’s what I call overconvincing or overpersuading. A person giving too much detail in a story is another example.
You’ve also said that a liar doesn’t tell a story in the same way that an honest person does.
A liar frequently cuts his ending short and doesn’t express emotion while telling his story. A person telling the truth isn’t likely to end his story abruptly, and he tends to express a lot of emotion at the end of it. He also doesn’t usually tell a story in chronological order; he jumps around a little, according to what is most prominent in his memory.
Does Being Cold Make You Sick?
Can being cold make you sick?
“You’ll catch your death of cold!” Grandma says when you show up with just a sweater on in the winter. So you once again explain to her that you aren’t allowed to wear a coat in class because of security rules and there’s no place to put one where it won’t be stolen. But does cold weather make you sick? No. And yes. AsapSCIENCE explains the nuts and bolts of winter weather and colds and flu.
Put another way, cold weather makes me sick. Sick at heart when I have to venture out to start the car early. And sick to my stomach when I think of the heating bills. And I think it might affect my arthritis a bit, too.
