Politicians have a bad rap for being liars. As we watch the debate tonight between U.S. President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney, we’ll be waiting for the moment when we can catch one of them in a lie.
But how do you tell if someone is lying? When your body experiences stress — which is produced when you lie — you tend to do movements that you normally don’t do.

A drastic spike
455A record number of rhinoceroses have been poached in South Africa this year. The Department of Environmental A�airs reported this week

Why are rhinosbeing killed?Their horns: In some Asian countries, powdered rhino horn is thought to alleviate a wide range of conditions, including fever, arthritis and convulsions. Demand has recently surged in Vietnam, where it is sold as a party drug to lessen the e�ects of alcohol as well as a cure for cancer.
Not that it stops poachers, but under the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species, trade in rhino horn
has been illegal since 1977.
Many rhinos in captivity or on
private reserves have had most of their horns
chopped o�, in hopes they will be less
attractive to poachers.
The majority of rhinos
killed for their horns are Southern white
rhinoceroses. There are an estimated 20,600 left, leaving them at the near-threatened
status.
27251
The spike in illegal rhino killing seems to stem from increased wealth in
China and Southeast Asia, which has turned
rhino horn into a status symbol Rumour has
it a horn can fetch as much as a million dollars by the time it hits the market in Asia.
