15 Ungodly Spiders That Shouldn't Exist - Duration: 6:53.
● Spiders: you might hate them but you better get used to them, because they live pretty
much everywhere and there are about 25 million tons of them on the planet.
But can some eight-legged freaks live underwater?
And what's the biggest web they can create?
Here are the weirdest spiders ever.
15 - The Net-Casting Spider ● Most spiders build their webs and wait
patiently for the insects to trap themselves.
But a family known as Deinopidae are a little bit more proactive.
Sometimes called the net-casting spider, this big-eyed critter spins a web over its two
long front legs and hangs down above the forest floor, like a terrifying chandelier.
When an unlucky bug crawls nearby, it throws it legs forward, sticking the insect like
a gladiator with a net.
14 - The Mirror Spider ● If you took a small discoball and stuck
eight legs to it, you'd get something similar to the Mirror Spider of Australia.
This fabulous fella has reflective plates all over its body that it can change the size
of, like the camouflage of a chameleon or octopus.
Although it looks pretty easy to spot, the shiny scales may have the effect of distracting
and confusing predators by scattering the light around.
13 - The Whip Spider ● This long-legged creeper from Africa usually
lies in a crouched position, with its legs retracted, looking like a scorpion.
But when it extends its legs, you can see another feature it shares with its arachnid
cousins.
The whipspider has two pincers on its front legs with which it can strike its prey very
rapidly, after approaching slowly in the dark.
It's around the size of a human hand, but thankfully is harmless to humans.
12 - The Spiny Orb Weaver ● With perhaps the most bizarrely beautiful
body in the whole spider kingdom, the spiny orb-weaver is a genus of spiders with a brightly
coloured abdomen.
The females also have spines around their body that can grow short and spiky, or long
like a pair of horns.
The spider is native to Central America and though it looks poisonous, it's not especially
harmful.
You could even wear it as jewellery.
11 - The Hairy Crab Spider ● The sidymella hirsuta, also known as the
hairy crab spider, is perhaps the grossest one on our list.
It's covered in a thick layer of grizzly hair, and its front four legs are especially
long, giving it the appearance of a furry lobster who just wants a nice cuddle.
The crab spider guys can of course be found in Australia and it not to be confused with
the spider crab, which is also terrifying.
10 - Jumping Spiders ● Surely the cutest of all spiders and also
the most numerous as a family of species, the jumping spider take many forms, but the
cutest and most impressive are of the hyllus species.
The largest one can jump over eight times its body length, which it does by rapidly
forcing blood to its legs to make them extend.
It attaches itself to its jump point with silk, as a safety line, in case it misses
its unsuspecting target.
9 - The Diving Bell Spider ● The diving bell spider is one of the only
species to live its whole life under water.
But it still needs air around its body to breathe so it has developed an amazing solution.
The hairs on its body trap little air bubbles against its body, and it swims underwater
and releases these bubbles under vegetation in lakes or rivers.
This creates a little air space, which it keeps adding to, until it can sit comfortably
inside.
8 - The Happy-Face Spider ● In the sunny rainforest of Hawaii, one
spider represents the feel-good atmosphere of the island better than most.
The Hawaiian Happy Face Spider has markings on its abdomen that look exactly like a smiley
face.
This eight-legged emoji spider has a variety of different patterns, but many feature this
cheerful colouring.
Despite this, the lives of the males are pretty miserable, they die soon after mating, leaving
the female to guard and feed the hatched younglings.
7 - The Ant-Mimic Spider ● Take a long hard look at this ant, does
anything about it seem wrong?
Those of you with good powers of observation and basic mathematics may have noticed that
it has two legs too many.
These are ant-mimic spiders, of which there are numerous species.
Although it looks like a case of a wolf in sheep's clothing, most of the spiders are
actually imitating the ant as protection, because many predators avoid ants due to their
well-organised defence systems.
6 - Darwin's Bark Spider ● The island of Madagascar boasts the most
unique animals on the planet.
Among these is the Darwin's Bark Spider, which produces silk twice as tough as any
other species, making it the strongest natural material ever found.
The spider sprays its silk into the air, allowing wind to carry the line across wide distances,
even over rivers, to create a bridge that it constructs its web below, giving it both
the longest and largest web made by any spider.
5 - The Bat-Eating Spider ● You'd think that mammals would not feature
on a list of spider's prey, but there are documented cases of spiders catching and eating
bats and eating them.
Even worse, there is evidence of spiders doing this on every continent, except for antarctica.
Bats fly into the webs belonging to species such as the Giant Golden Silk Orb Weavers,
who have also been known to catch snakes.
The spiders then wrap up their prey for devouring later.
4 - The Goliath Bird-Eating Spider ● Weighing in at nearly 200 grams, the goliath
bird-eating spider is the largest spider in the world by mass.
Although the name is misleading, as the spider has rarely been observed catching birds, there
are recordings of the monster catching frogs and small rodents.
In case you were tempted to pick up one of these furry friends, be careful of their fur,
as they can release barbed hairs into your skin if threatened.
3 - The Spitting Spider ● One member of the spider family has combined
two things the creature is perhaps most known for, its venom and its web silk.
The spitting spider can shoot a fluid from its mouth that is a mix of venom and silk
which sticks onto its prey.
The fluid then congeals, which constricts the victims movements, and then starts to
paralyze and poison it, in what must be one of the most horrific deaths imaginable.
2 - The Flic-Flac Spider ● This next spider knows exactly how it
feels to be a rolling stone, as it rolls across the deserts of North Africa.
The Moroccan Cartwheeling Spider can perform a series of acrobatic handsprings that propel
it off the ground and allow it to tumble downhill, or even roll uphill.
It resembles a piece of tumbleweed, drifting across the sandy dunes.
It's unique style of travel is even being used in the field of technology for robotic
movement.
1 - The Trapdoor Spider ● This next spider wins the award for 'Most
Horrifying Monster That Shouldn't Be Alive'.
The trapdoor spider is a shiny black nightmare which builds a tube beneath the soil or bark
of a tree.
The spider weaves the tunnel out of silk and also makes a hinged lid to the tube, out of
nearby material.
It then sits, completely undetectable, in its little hideout until anything comes nearby
and then BAM!
The door of death springs open.

Syamel & Ernie Zakri - Aku Cinta Reaction / Hoontamin - Duration: 8:49.
Recently many Malaysian viewers are visiting our Hoontamin Channel
It's a pleasure
And various songs are being recommended
The video we'll watch today is
There's also a music video
This video from a contest called AJL32
This video was recommended a lot
This number 32, is it the 32nd contest?
It means that
I don't know in detail
That's why it's AJL?
I wonder what it looks like
We wrote Aku Cinta in the translator
It meant 'I love' / Oh, 'I love you'
'You' didn't appear
'I love', maybe loves something
'You' was missing?
It's just 'I love'
Don't flatter / Okay
We'll go watch what song it is
They seem very famous, if you see the placard
Oh my gosh
Is this person Syamel?
What was that right now?
His singing abilities just made my heart beat fast
The melody is good
The stage direction is also good, the moving stairs
They connect to one
It doesn't have subtitles
So romantic
What is their actual relationship?
They could've just sang it together
It included real emotions
The melody was so good, the song too
The harmony of their voices was good
It kept me falling in to it
And at first in the background, as if stars were shining
Those aspects were impressive
At night, thinking about your lover
Or being together
It really suits on those atmospheres
It just made me fall to it
My jaw hurts because I opened my mouth a lot
This is not a lie
Look at the video, really all the time
I was like this
What I thought was
Felt like a fairy tale musical
The dress, as if they met at the ballroom
It was like a musical when the two lovers came down singing
It really seemed like a fairy tale
I don't know what prize they won at the constest
But it was a great song
It should be 1st place
I didn't know much about Malaysian music
We get to meet various songs through the recommendations
It's fun we get to learn more like this
I hope we can watch more videos
I thought while listening to this song
The world is wide and there are lots of people who sing well
Somebody wins, and on the next contest another winner comes out again
Impressive
Also there are many Youtubers
But there aren't many YouTubers that watch many music videos from around the world
Our trip to the recommended videos continues
Channel Hoontamin, please love and subscribe us

Michael: For many incarcerated people across the country,
their troubles with crime, violence, and the system
started when they were young.
The arrest rates for many crimes,
like murder, robbery, and car theft,
peak in late teenage years
and then begin to fall drastically.
Dr. Larry Steinberg is a leading psychologist
in analyzing juvenile crimes,
and what he has found is that this phenomenon
is directly connected to adolescent brain development.
So, Larry, why do you think we have one of the largest
juvenile justice problems in all of the developed countries in the world?
I think there are a couple of reasons.
One is that we criminalize normal adolescent behavior.
You know, adolescence is a time when kids do
a lot of risky and reckless things.
There's a part of the brain, called the prefrontal cortex,
that's really important for self-control
and anticipating the future consequences of your decisions.
This brain system isn't completely mature
until people are in their early 20s.
Yes.
(kids shouting)
Larry: We know that teenagers already have
an easily aroused reward system in their brain.
You're more likely to get angry at that age.
You're more likely to feel threatened at that age.
And we're now understanding that there's this mismatch
between this easily aroused part of the brain
and a still immature part of your brain.
We like to say, "It's a time when the accelerator is pressed down to the floor
but there's not a good braking system in place,"
and that's what adolescence is like.
We can't reform criminal justice
without reforming juvenile justice,
because there's almost nobody
who's locked up in prison...
As an adult.
...as an adult who wasn't doing stuff...
Something stupid when they were young.
...when they were young.
Michael: Dr. Steinberg has been exploring
the psychological differences between teens and adults
through a series of experiments
on how peer pressure affects impulsive behavior.
The idea here is that the faster you get there,
the more money that you're able to get.
But along the way you're gonna come to a series of intersections,
and at each one, you're going to have to make a decision.
And if you keep going, you might beat the light and get there faster.
But if the light turns red, you could crash into another car. Okay?
♪ ♪
(laughter)
Boy: This is definite-- no way.
(car honks)
All: Oh!
Michael: Oh-ho!
Oh man!
What was the difference in the brain activity?
Well, what we found in this research
was that when teenagers are with their friends,
their reward centers get activated especially,
but we didn't see any difference for adults.
We then developed this theory
that the presence of their friends activates
their brain's reward centers
in ways that makes them pay attention
to the potential rewards of a risky choice
and to not pay attention to the potential downside.
Being accepted by peers, that also is something
that we find in the world of addiction,
which is where I come from.
So one of the really interesting discoveries
that brain scientists have made
is that people who start using early in adolescence
are seven to 10 times more likely to develop an addiction
than people who use the same substances in the same amounts,
but don't start until they're 21.
Nobody is saying that we should excuse
criminal behavior.
No sir, no sir, not at all.
But we need to respond in ways
that are going to help that person
return to the community in a better place.
Michael: We wanted to see what programs in the US
are trying to find a better way.

has actually proven to be one of the most effective ways

the city decided to do something radical:
to reach out directly to potential violent offenders.
A controversial program is actually paying people not to shoot each other.
The Office of Neighborhood Safety
is a government agency with one single focus:
reduce firearm assaults and associated injury and/or death.
How did you start to do that?
In 2009, the city saw
45 firearm-related homicides...
(gun fires)
(siren blares)
...and more than 180 nonfatal shootings.
And we determined that there were actually 28 people responsible
for 70 percent of that 2009 activity.
That was an aha moment for me.
We can wrap our arms around that.
Yeah.
Like many cities, we were focused
on what are known or called "hot spots,"
"spots where things happen."
Mm-hmm.
But I thought it'd be smarter
to appreciate that hot spots are hot because of hot people.
So rather than focus on a location,
focus on helping people.
You've got to know who's perpetrating that gunfire,
and you've got to be willing to partner with them.

Step in the right direction, brother.
Proud of you, man. It's good to see you, brother.
It's good to see you too.
You got a support system in here.
It make me feel good, because I never had that type of support before.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I wish I had this when I was coming up.
I'm glad I had it.
I love you say that.
Michael: Programs like the one in Richmond
help ex-offenders get back up on their feet,
because when you don't have help,
prospects can look very grim.
My cousin Niven and I grew up together
in the Vanderveer projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Niven was incarcerated for second-degree murder
for a crime he committed when he was 14 years old.
Isn't it odd after all you've been through, all I've been through,
we could still, at the end of the day,
come back to this little projects' roof.
We experienced it all in here.
Damn. Yeah, I stood right there watching 9/11.
That was crazy. You know where I was?
Michael: Where?
I was in solitary confinement.
I was in the box for like 18 months. That's why I never forget it.
♪ ♪
Michael: Niven did a portion of his time
and was released on probation.
The problem was he had no skills or support.
And to make matters worse, because of where his felony conviction happened,
by law he was not allowed to return home.
So he ended up in the last place he wanted to be.
This is where they dropped me off when I came out, man.
This was my first stop.
I heard about it the day before I came home.
Guys was telling me, "They sending you to the Armory?
They said, "Yo, it's crazy in there.
That shit looked worse than Attica."
Why would the system make you live in the shelter?
I don't understand the science behind that.
You do a crime in your neighborhood,
you banned from that neighborhood,
and that might be where all your family at.
In your case, that's exactly what happened.
You went in, you did your first straight 13,
you came home, so what happened?
I end up dipping in and out of the projects in the neighborhood,
messing with some of my mans and them,
because I had nothing else to do.
I let the streets take me.
I end up getting rearrested for a drug case.
Long story short, I ended getting 11 more years because of my prior record.
(siren blaring)
Once you have that felony stamp,
you got the big "X" on your chest,
you barely get a job,
the jobs that you get is way below standard,
you can't live off them, you can't survive,
but I'm living check to check, man.
♪ ♪
Michael: After nearly a lifetime in the system,
Niven was able to find work as a custodian.
For many former offenders, they simply can't find work,
so they go right back to the streets, what they know best.
Back in Richmond, they know this,
so even after the fellowship ends,
change agents continue to help members navigate through life.
Sam: So he applied for a government security clearance
to be able to get on to refineries or ports.
It's easier to talk to somebody who been through
some of the stuff that you've been through.
If it wasn't for them, I highly doubt
I'd be here right now.
I was involved heavily with the streets,
back and forth to jail,
just having somebody in your corner who won't let you slip.
I'm going to go through the whole thing to make sure.

not just for this generation but for the next.
Sam: These young people aren't growing up, thinking about what college
they're going to go to when they're in the second grade.
They don't even see a benefit of graduating high school.
I don't know what a doctor needs to do to become a doctor,
because there ain't no doctor living in my community.
I don't know how to become a lawyer, 'cause there is not a lawyer living in my community.
I know how to be a gangster, I know how to sell dope,
I know how to pull that pistol, because that's what I see every day.
The epitome of success is I got out the hood.
You ain't gonna leave no bread crumbs for somebody else to follow?
Michael: Creating the path right now is vital,
because a quarter of African-American children...
Say hi.
...will have a parent incarcerated at some point,
raising the risk of them entering the system themselves.
Having a kid really just brought me to life.
Before that-- before I had her, I was just like,
basically, I ain't got nothing to live for.
I might as well just stay in the streets. You feel me?
Michael: Many of the young men we met were already young fathers
and in jeopardy of perpetuating the cycle all over again.
Denise: Uh, how old is your son now?
Nine months.
Denise: Okay.
You have a child that you want to participate in the child's life,

So, I want to call up to the front
some of the individuals who I did not hear from.
See, the entire thing that this conversation was about
was really digging in from your heart,
and now it's onto papers,
and then we start to share.
So we're gonna start with you.
Incarceration had a horrible effect for me
when my mom got locked up.
It put me into a bad place.
One, it broke me, because she was my have,
and I just broke down.
Two, it left me with my dad, who beat me until--
who beat me until my skin was black and blue.
I told my mother and my father
I felt bad that they didn't show love,
and they both apologized to each other.
(applause)
I'm going to share what I heard from that story,
and that's the ability to maintain bonds.
We don't dictate who our parents are gonna be,
how they treat us, but we do dictate
what we think about the hand that we've been dealt.
And what I'm hearing today is,
that's a hand and a breath of forgiveness, of strength.
That's the good things about stories:
You don't have to go in and erase anything that's ever happened
or add anything in. You just have to own it.
And the thing that you want to do with it is not make it a crutch,
so you don't want to be, "Oh, my mom was locked up, that's why I fight.
My dad was in a gang, that's why I don't listen to teachers."
That's lame! At the end of the day,
you want to own your story,
so that you can throw that crutch, and now you're just walking.

Trump Puts Final Nail In The Coffin Of Russia Hoax With Brutal Move On Putin. - Duration: 4:34.
Trump Puts Final Nail In The Coffin Of Russia Hoax With Brutal Move On Putin.
Democrats are freaking out after President Donald Trump put the final nail in the coffin
of their Russia collusion hoax with a brutal move, on Vladimir Putin and several of his
closest allies.
This is a home run.
According to Daily Caller, Trump took drastic measures against Russia on Friday, April 6,
2018, when the U.S. Treasury Department slammed Russia with a new round of sanctions.
Key individuals and entities were hit, including seven wealthy oligarchs, 12 of their companies,
a state-owned weapons trading company called Rosoboroneksport, that company's RFC Bank
subsidiary, and 17 government officials.
This unprecedented move by the Trump administration puts the final nail in the coffin of the Russia
collusion hoax for good.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin blasted the Russian government in a statement on Friday.
"The Russian government operates for the disproportionate benefit of oligarchs and
government elites," he said.
"The Russian government engages in a range of malign activity around the globe, including
continuing to occupy Crimea and instigate violence in eastern Ukraine, supplying the
Assad regime with material and weaponry as they bomb their own civilians, attempting
to subvert Western democracies, and malicious cyber activities," Mnuchin continued.
"Russian oligarchs and elites who profit from this corrupt system will no longer be
insulated from the consequences of their government's destabilizing activities," he added.
The new sanctions against some of Putin's closest allies will freeze all assets subject
to U.S. jurisdiction held by the designated individuals and entities, prohibits Americans
from doing business with them, and could potentially trigger sanctions against non-U.S. persons
who facilitate transactions by the sanctioned entities.
The list of sanctioned oligarchs includes Oleg Deripaska, who touts himself as a representative
of the Russian state when traveling abroad and is accused of crimes ranging from money
laundering to extortion, racketeering, bribery, ties to organized crime, and ordering the
murder of business rivals.
In addition, Deripaska is connected to the Steele Dossier, the suspect document that
became the premise to launch controversial surveillance of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential
campaign, and to Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, by the former Obama
administration.
In a statement to Bloomberg News on Friday, former Treasury official Elizabeth Rosenberg
said, "This is clearly a really intensive strike at Deripaska and his corporate holdings.
By naming a number of oligarchs and state entities, including in the energy sector,
it's meaningful because they're aiming at sensitive industries in Russia that generate
a lot of revenue."
One other notable Russian oligarch caught up in this round of sanctions is Suleiman
Kerimov, who is a member of the Russian Federation Council accused of skirting European tax laws
by hauling around huge amounts of cash in suitcases, and laundering money through questionable
land deals.
In November 2017, Kerimov was arrested in France for tax evasion.
In addition to other holdings, Kerimov controls Polyus, which is Russia's biggest producer
of gold.
Kirill Shamalov, a one-time son-in-law to Vladimir Putin was also targeted by the Trump
administration in the latest round of sanctions.
Shamalov's wealth sky-rocketed after marrying Putin's daughter in 2013.
Despite losing a significant amount of power after splitting up with his wife in 2018,
Shamalov reportedly still maintains a tremendous amount of wealth.
The U.S. Treasury Department also sanctioned twelve firms which are all owned or controlled
by the sanctioned Russian oligarchs.
This enormous hit to some of Russia's most wealthy, and powerful individuals should be
enough to shut Democrats up for good about any kind of inappropriate relationship between
our President and Russia.
In my opinion, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who hunted around for evidence that Trump
participated in some kind of wrongdoing during the 2016 presidential election, needs to be
stuck with a bill for the taxpayer's money he wasted.
There's no excuse now for Democrats to peddle their idiotic narrative that Trump was in
some way involved with the Russians.

TOP DEMOCRAT GETS PRISON TIME - Duration: 12:55.
TOP DEMOCRAT GETS PRISON TIME
JUST IN: A top Democrat is facing twenty years in prison after being convicted of nearly
50 charges of corruption in court Thursday.
The Daily Caller reported that Allentown, Pennsylvania Mayor Ed Pawlowski was found
guilty of 47 out of 54 charges that had been leveled against him, including bribery, conspiracy,
fraud, attempted extortion as well as lying to federal officials.
On top of that, the disgraced Democrats changed city contracts in order to raise money for
his campaigns for mayor.
Pawlowski broke down in tears as the verdict was read, and his wife collapsed in the hallway
of the courtroom.
Afterwards, Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Wzorek blasted the behavior of Pawlowski,
who has been in office since 2006.
"This type of behavior is not acceptable," Wzorek said.
"If they don't have it of their own mind to think this is unacceptable, we will be
watching, and the FBI will be doing investigations and will root out corruption."
No date has been set for Pawlowski's sentencing, but he is facing 20 years in prison on each
count of corruption.
He will be free on bail until he is sentenced.
Jack McMahon, Pawlowski's lawyer, said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the
verdict.
McMahon had argued that oliciting campaign contributions from government contractors
as a politician is not uncommon.
He claimed that Pawlowski had been set up by the mayor's political advisers, Mike
Fleck and Sam Ruchlewicz, who secretly recorded the mayor and helped form the foundation of
the prosecutor's case against the Democrat.
While Fleck pleaded guilty, Ruchlewicz has not been charged.
McMahon tried to use the tapes for the defense's advantage, playing a June 2015 conversation
in which the mayor, who had no idea he was being recorded, complained about an engineering
executive who'd been pressuring him for city work.
"I'm not a pay-to-play guy," Pawlowski said
in the footage.
