Wyclef's Personal Statement on the Accusations Against Yele Haiti
Thank you Anonymous for posting this in the comment section of a previous post:
There have been several news stories about Wyclef Jean's Haiti charity not being legitimate and allegations that he is taking money from it.
Wyclef put out a video refuting the accusations today. At first I thought he was being honest, but then he started covering his mouth, touching his face, and being evasive in some of the things he said. What do you think?
I got the impression that he was lying. I would be very interested in your thoughts on the video.
This is a great video.
I see anger when he first speaks about rumors. Throughout the speech I see him raise his eyebrows so lines form on his forehead, this is a good sign of confidence in what he is speaking about. In a way it is equivalent of saying how dare you question me...
When he first touches his face at 3:35 he first rubs his hands together and touches his face, you can see sadness in his eyebrows and he is talking about being "attacked" and then exhales a big breath. He is experiencing so much emotion. When lying emotions are usually reserved, it is clear he does not like being in this position, and he is under stress because of the accusation.
When he again touches his face at around 4:00 minutes, he is speaking about the footage of what he has seen. It is pacifying and understandable given what he has just seen in Haiti.
From a statement analysis perspective he explains expenses, all charities use funds received for business expenses, for some it is a gross fraud when only 10% make it to the people that need it. He states about some expenses surrounding concerts (I would assume are fund raisers) including paying the band and managers, etc. this makes some sense to me, while these expenses could add up and be sizable... it would take a accountant to see if the charity is making enough money to justify these expenses.
I believe he is HONEST and really wants to make a difference and help in this video.◦

Grief and Sadness in Haiti
People grieve together after a relative was killed in the massive earthquake on January 14, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies headed to Haiti as governments and aid agencies launched a massive relief operation after a powerful earthquake killing possibly thousands. Numerous buildings were reduced to rubble by the 7.0-strong quake on January 12.
The two women on the right side of the picture have lowered their eyebrows in sadness, while the other woman has raised her eyebrows (closest to the bridge of her nose). Sadness is one of the base emotions that actually can reveal itself in many different expressions on the face.

Subtle Sadness
HAMBURG, GERMANY - OCTOBER 27: SPD politicians Andrea Nahles (L) and Niels Annen talk to each other during the second day of the party congress of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) on October 27, 2007 in Hamburg, Germany. The Social Democrats continue the meeting with discussions about their future party program after electing the party chairs the previous day.
Whenever we protrude our lower lip, this is a subtle expression of sadness. If it is done consciously it becomes a lip pout.◦

Survivor Samoa Episode 9 Another Great Tribal Council
Look at the intensity in Erik's eyes, watch how he holds his gaze for longer than would be normal. Then from the get go we get the fist pump, but this is not the fist pump for joy like we see from Tiger Woods when he sinks a putt, no this is acting out of anger. Then see Shambo gives us the microexpression of contempt.
When Jeff asks the old tribe about feeling welcome, notice how all three (you can see Russell is also in this stance) four are holding their hands clasped(about 2:30 into the video) this is a sign they are unwilling to talk openly. At 2:48 we see the elegant subtle expression of fear- look at her wide open eyes.
At 3:30 watch Jeff touch his nose when Jeff is asking him about his days being numbered. It could be that there was a piece of dirt there, but it also could be that he knew they were safe this evening. There are four nerve endings on the bridge of our noses that become irritated when we are under stress.
Timeout, I know everybody hates Russell, I was right there in the beginning, but let me tell you he played it perfectly when others were voting. Gazing to members of the other tribe, he was reading them...confirming they were voting for him... making sure they had to look away...
When Russell stands up to play the idol, watch it several times. You will see microexpressions of surprise, sadness, and fear at exactly 6:36.
Just enjoy the rest of the video...but I will leave with you with one thing that I cannot figure out, Dave. Watch him and he never shows negative gestures and body language at the prospect of what is occurring, he only shows surprise but no fear, sadness, no anger...◦

The Lip Pout
When we push the lower lip against the upper upper lip and the lower lip moves out it is a look of disappointment, displeasure, sadness, or uncertainty.
I have seen this in business settings when someone doesn't like what is being said to another and the chin points out towards the offender.
Children can use it to show frustration when their requests are not honored. It is probably most often noticed when someone is using this gesture to plead for 'something' for both children and adults.◦

Mother Pleads for Return of Florida Girl, My Thoughts

Somer Thompson disappeared on way home from school on Monday, and her mother Diena Thompson appeared on The Today Show this morning.
The mother had nothing to do with her daughter's disappearance. What she is showing is true emotion; she is experiencing and showing 'normal' reactions given the experience and circumstances.◦

Tsunami Victim's Last Words: "Mom Please"
A mother recounts the details of her daughter's death in Tuesday's tsunami. The 6 year old was swept out to sea when she slipped from her mother's grasp in the village of Leone, American Samoa.
Terrible pain and sadness is seen here. I think it is important to see a wide variety of sadness and grief if you are someone who investigates homicides- so you can be on the lookout for these emotions when they are faked and appear unnatural. The people being interviewed show several different subtle facial expressions of sadness.
Often times when we see this type of thing in the states the sadness and the grief becomes more dramatic and 'louder' especially if it is done while be taped by a local news station.
Another thing to note is in the chief's interview when he says the culture is very strong, "huuummmmppp" I am unsure if this is cultural based, or a way to say "understand?" or emotion being verbalized? If you know please comment on this post or email me- at the bottom of the page is a contact me link.◦

While she shows sadness in her entire face it is rare to capture the subtle sadness in the eye brows as seen here. See how the inside of her eyebrows arch upward in sadness. This is a true emotion that is hard to consciously do.◦
