NOwnership, No Problem: Why Millennials Value Experiences Over Owning Things

I was in Los Angeles this weekend for my birthday. Chatting over sushi with my father-in-law, he mentioned he was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. Limbaugh was talking about how millennials value experience over ownership of goods. I thought it was compelling to hear that these new realities had spread so far and wide they made it to AM radio. There are many ways this new reality has played out in modern life. The sharing economy is booming. People are renting or borrowing products. They are hiring their neighbors to drive them to work, paint their house or rearrange their closet.

Which Colleges Offer Big-Time Academic Merit Aid Money

Elite private colleges don't award financial aid based on good grades and high SAT or ACT scores. The only way to lower your cost at an elite college like the Ivies, Stanford or Duke, is for your family to show a need for aid based on your finances. If you don't, you'll be expected to write a check for sticker price. However, there are hundreds of excellent private colleges offering $5,000 - $25,000 per year based on good grades and test scores. Public universities are creating more and more Honors Colleges as a way to compete on cost for the top students.

Horse Blows Out Candles And Smiles After Being Sung 'Happy Birthday'

We're all partial to a little cake on our birthdays - and this horse is no exception.

As the song finishes, the steed perfectly blows out all his candles, before drawing his mouth back in what is unmistakably a big grin.

The stable workers around him were clearly thrilled, laughing and cheering as JD enjoyed his special day.

Happy birth-bray JD! (Sorry.)

25 Ways To Tell If Someone Is Lying To You

You can never completely tell when someone is lying. Not even a lie detector can do that. Do you understand what that means? That means that not a single one of the tips we are about to give should ever be used to determine that someone is lying without reservation. Even if someone does all 25 of these things they still may be innocent. The power of circumstance cannot be overestimated and people have even been known to give false confessions because they were being pressured to “tell the truth”. With that said, there are certain things you can look for that might arouse your suspicions. These are 25 ways to tell if someone is lying to you. Sort of.

25

This is probably one that you already know instinctually, but liars will be hesitant to make eye contact with you

Source: drphil.com

24

To complicate things, if someone is lying to you they might make too much eye contact. Possibly because they are aware that liars are known to avoid eye contact. We know, it's confusing.

Source: drphil.com

23

A liar tends to provide more information than necessary, or to answer questions that they weren't even asked in the first place. This may come from a desire to justify oneself

Source: drphil.com

22

A genuine shrug indicating uncertainty is usually complete and symmetrical. A partial shrug may indicate deception

Source: drphil.com

21

For potentially obvious reasons liars are likely to stutter. It's hard to talk straight when you're making things up as you go!

Source: drphil.com

20

A liar tends not to use contractions. For example, "I didn't do it" statistically tends to be a more truthful statement that "I did not do it"

Source: liespotting.com

19

A liar is unlikely to exhibit a Duchenne smile. What is that? A Duchenne smile is when you use the involuntary muscles around your eyes as well as your major muscles around the mouth. The key word here is involuntary, meaning you can't fake a true smile.

Source: psychologicalscience.org

18

A liar will tend to turn away from you or show signs of discomfort

Source: lifespan.com

17

While it's difficult to spot, a slight increase in voice pitch indicates that somebody is likely lying

Source: dailymail.co.uk

16

According to a study in the Journal of Non-verbal Behaviour, liars blink less frequently during the lie and then speed up to about 8 times faster afterwards

Source: telegraph.co.uk

15

Crossed arms are typically never a positive sign in conversation. They are the opposite of having your arms open with your palms out which indicates warmth, inclusiveness, and obviously openness. Although crossed arms by themselves don't necessarily mean somebody is lying, they are just another sign to look for.

Source: liespotting.com

14

A liar will often use your own words in their response. For example, if you ask someone, "Did you deflate my tire?" they may answer "No I did not deflate your tire"

Source: blifaloo.com

13

A person's pupils will dilate if they are lying. In fact, because this is an involuntary behavior this is usually a much better indicator than some of the others on this list

Source: livestrong.com

12

Someone who is lying will tend to give a very specific denial. Rather than making broad sweeping statements like "I never do [insert something suspicious here]" a liar would be more likely to say "I did not do this at that time with this person"

Source: liespotting.com

11

When someone is lying they will often purse their mouth and lips

Source: drphil.com

10

Liars will often touch their face, nose, or mouth with above average frequency

Source: blifaloo.com

9

People who try to obfuscate the truth will tend to over-focus on irrelevant details

Source: drphil.com

8

One of the most obvious signs of someone lying is inconsistent or contradictory explanations

Source: askmen.com

7

Liars will sometimes hedge the things they say. For example someone might preface their explanation with "As far as I can remember..."

Source: liespotting.com

6

If someone is lying then their gestures and their words might not line up

Source: blifaloo.com

5

According to Israeli researcher Avinoam Sapir, liars will often give longwinded introductions full of detail but then gloss over the important parts of the story where the deception is

Source: wikipedia

4

Liars sometimes will unconsciously place objects between themselves and you

Source: blifaloo.com

3

A liar will usually tell a story in strict chronology. Someone telling the truth will usually recount the most vivid emotional detail first and then explain the rest

Source: liespotting.com

2

Someone who is lying will tend to go on the defensive. Someone telling the truth will tend to go on the offensive.

Source: blifaloo.com

1

People use distancing language. This allows them to separate themselves from the action. For example, "I crashed my car" becomes "I crashed the car"

How To Stay Relevant In The Rapidly Changing World of Work

As the world of work continues to evolve, staying relevant becomes much harder. By the time we graduate college, many of the skills we learn become out of date. New technologies are emerging all over the place and businesses of all shapes and sizes are being disrupted. So as a current or prospective employee, what can or should you be doing to make sure that you can stay relevant? This is exactly what I talk about in the latest episode of the #futurein5. I share 3 things that we can all do to make sure to make sure we stay ahead of the curve. We can no longer rely on educational institutions or our companies to teach us all of the skills we need to know. The three tips are: 1) leverage online education platforms; 2) use social channels and create filters to stay on top of current and relevant information; 3) participate in communities that are relevant to your interests and passions. As a 4th bonus tip we should all remember to leverage old-school networking and reading the news!
