I just watched a TED talk by a former military interrogator of terrorists @ GTMO, on liars' giveaways. She pointed out incongruous body language, e.g. headshaking while delivering positive messages, as a key "tell."

Then I watched this again. Try it with sound off.

The talk that prompted this tweet is here: . I claim no expertise but am wondering what experts say to this.

Only v few who replied thought the body language was merely due to her reading off a teleprompter, or dismissed whole idea.

Anyway: lies will out.
And thanks to those with relevant expertise who have already responded.

Important distinctions in recent discussions about immigration and its regulation by the UK. Thread.
1. Refugees. Driven from homes by persecution and war. All Western nations offer right to asylum to them, following horrors of WW2 and Holocaust. 😇 UK policy involves tight review, with rules set nationally. Calais Jungle & now small no. of arrivals show borders are controlled.
AFAIK, EU acquis plays no role here. Brexit won't change treatment of refugees. Court of last resort in human rights matters is ECHR, which UK is not brexiting.

EU has struggled bc large nos. of refugees arriving IT, GR. Onward mvmt only by permission of UKgov (i.e. minimal).

1. Having to apply to HO to be allowed to retain residence/work rights is not the preservation of full rights that most Brexiters promised.

2. Other EU countries with a universal local authority registration system manage to verify FoM eligibility without discrimination.
3. The process for applying requires access to special tech, permit use of personal data by private entities, and awards ILR with online-only verification - at best not secure, nor fit for diverse users.
4. Successful applicants are forever at mercy of changes to 2ry legislation.
5. Awarding ILR to those already here is a stepping stone to denying future EU immigrants and UK emigrants FoM rights.

6. EU citizens make average net lifetime contributions of £78k in present free-for-all system, >> UK citizens, so curtailing immigration is fiscally damaging.

In her 18 Xmas speech, HM QE2 avoided Brexit entirely (she did mention Commonwealth), in the "BBC balance" interpretation of Royal obligation to be politically neutral. We can speculate on meaning and intent. But it got me thinking about requirements for reconciliation. Thread.
Leavers would need due consideration and political action on the discontents that drove their vote. E.g. redistribution, investment in communities whose public services have been eroded. Creating + opportunities: vocational training, education. Community-building and integration.
Parties can help by recruiting talent from outside the Public School - Oxford PPE - Spad conveyor belt. Westminster can help by letting serious £ move to regions. A decade of austerity has also left a sense that working people absorbed the consequences of moral hazard in City.

Okay, I think I figured out what is Trump's ultimate game in this escalated US-China trade tensions and I think he will get it. Will share my thoughts in a thread soon! 😎
1) What is Trump's ultimate game? RECIPROCAL TRADE & INVESTMENT. Pissed off about higher tariffs vs the US & non-tariff barriers. Regarding #China 🇨🇳, doesn't like forced tech transfers, Chinese industrial overcapacity, gov subs. But how to get this? Investment+Trade policy
2)Implemented #taxreforms that impacts 50% of global FDI stock & favors US as a destination; USD2trn of REPATRIATION of funds, lower retained earnings of foreign affiliates; higher INVESTMENT in the US b/c of expensing, re-shoring of manufacturing. Basically, good for earnings💪

Myth #5 (last of today): Language does NOT alter your cognition/inherent world view.

Of course, #language effects your life the same way your #culture, home town, or environment does. But what it doesn't do is give you non-linear time powers like in #TheArrival.
A great (not jargon-y) episode of @lexiconvalley talks about this with @JohnMcWhorter as the host:

I just wrote the most delightful column on Section 11042 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. I can't wait for you all to read it.
Alas, it will probably go up tomorrow. I'm sorry to tease you that way, but you're just going to have to wait, with your delicious anticipation building every moment. It will make you enjoy it all the more when it is finally--finally!--available for your eager delectation.
And on that happy note, let's tweetstorm the heck out of my most recent column, on Trump's use of the word "Animals". washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…

I am peer reviewing at present... (very late for this task, sorry) - as I often do, to break up the action (!) is to offer some 'lessons learnt'
I have a stack of 17 short and small grants to review (structured form processing). There are a few stand out 'wins' for good proposals...
Discuss how your grant is going to be value for money - often with a nod towards legacy and sustainability after the funding period has ended. But please be reasonable (you need to justify needing the money after all!)

Way 01- Choose the easy path!
Actually, anything worth doing is potentially hard. Simple sentences, however, are less problematic because of their simple structures. Familiarize yourself with and use them often.

#KissPrinciple
The simple sentence could contain both obligatory (VERB) and optional (SUBJECT, OBJECT or COMPLEMENT) elements. These are very important aspects!
