OMNISCIENT TUESDAY
By Denisia Adams
Good day to you how you feeling? Better be good if you alive this day you’ve got reason to not to be. Check out some of the features had on the show:

WORD(s) OF THE DAY
Destitute:
extremely poor and lacking the means to provide for oneself.

S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
What is by far South Africa’s biggest neighbour?

A – the desert B – Botswana C – the Ocean

Answer:
By far South Africa's biggest neighbour is the ocean - or two oceans, which meet at the southwestern corner. Its territory includes Marion and Prince Edward Islands, nearly 2 000km from Cape Town in the Atlantic Ocean.

DID YOU KNOW
In 1894, Lord Kelvin predicted that radio had no future; he also predicted that heavier-than-air flying machines were possible. Also did you know that the one place where an American flag files all day, never goes up or comes down and does not get saluted, is the moon.

TIP OF THE DAY
Learn how to navigate through minefields of misinformation and uncover the truth.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's not a policy people follow very often. In fact, according to a study, people lie in roughly 25 percent of their daily interactions.
How can you detect dishonesty in relationships, friendships, and business?

Inconsistencies: One of the easiest, and most reliable, ways to catch a liar is to identify inconsistencies in their story--details that just don't jive with common sense, prevailing logic, or societal norms. For example, if your date claims he's as rich as Bill Gates but drives a Hyundai, you can bet he's telling a tall tale.

Eye contact: When it comes to lying, the eyes can be a dead giveaway. Generally, liars avoid eye contact, but if you're dealing with a seasoned fabricator, he or she might stare excessively. In addition, most people's pupils dilate when they're lying because their adrenalin rises.

Contradictions: As they weave their tales of deceit, liars typically forget a few details along the way and reveal some telling contradictions. For example, if a friend backed out of your weekend plans because she supposedly had a life-threatening illness and later described the weekend as "wonderful," consider it a red flag.
Changes in body language: Look for signs in the suspected liar's face that they're hiding, suppressing, or faking a spontaneous expression. And beware of those who touch their lower faces often, scratch their noses, or hide the hands behind their backs or in their pockets.

Shifting vocal patterns: According to experts, inconsistent vocal patterns are extremely common among dishonest people. In the midst of a lie, the pitch and tone of their voices may change on a dime, and the rate of their speech may suddenly slow down or get quicker.

Changing the subject: When trying to detect deception, watch out for this common tactic. For example, if you ask your boss about that raise she promised six months ago, and she starts to talk about the weather, you have to question her motives.
Inappropriate emotion: Beware of exaggerated emotion, anger, and defensiveness.
