10 REASONS WHY COMPULSIVE LIARS THINK IT'S OKAY TO LIE - Duration: 5:10.
10 REASONS WHY COMPULSIVE LIARS THINK IT'S OKAY TO LIE.
Compulsive liars frequently lie with no purpose and they do that because it is their habit.
Even though they are caught in lying frequently, they will keep doing that anyway.
There's no way that they can be stopped as their mind is wired to tell the opposite
most of the time.
Psychologists are observing this condition, and they come up with 10 reasons why compulsive
liars do that.
But before we go down to the list, don't forget to subscribe, click the bell and watch this
video until the end to know the complete information.
Here's the 10 reasons why compulsive liars think it's okay to lie according to psychologists.
#1 - To be in control.
Someone who control the truth, control life.
It is what happens, and liars want to control the life through false truth.
Yes, they lie to control the story of their life without doing anything right.
They just want to get the credit, forgiveness, or achievement without struggle for it except
by creating their own vision through lies.
#2 - They never think of lying.
Compulsive liars are addicted to lies, and they really don't realize that they are
lying.
They really think they tell the truth while in fact they clearly tell lies.
It is amazing that they have such trait because they really believe on what they've said
wrong to others.
If they eventually find out the otherwise, they cover it with another lie.
#3 - They think it is okay.
Psychologists have made clear conclusion about why compulsory liars think it is okay to lie.
It turns out, the main reason is because they don't have a feeling of empathy.
They don't care about the effect of their lies towards others.
They think the lies, since it is not the truth, won't affect the real life.
That's why they continue lying.
#4 - They want it real.
Another reason that probably unexpected is because they want the lies to be the truth.
They believe that a firm belief on affirmation through lies will make different reality to
happen.
#5 - It feels good.
It is another unexpected reason because only a fraction of compulsive liars feels so.
They enjoy telling lies because it makes them feel better.
It is fun to make others listen to them especially when others believe in them too.
#6 - To protect themselves.
This is probably something that non-compulsive liars do as well.
However, compulsive liars typically protect themselves from different lies that they have
made earlier in their life.
In order to safe their face and probably their life, they will lie over and over again.
#7 - It's too late to stop.
People categorized as compulsive liars basically have been lying almost for the entire of their
life.
That's why stopping their action will be something difficult or even impossible.
#8 - They don't want to look miserable.
The next thing that will make the liars continue to do what they are really bad at is because
they want to look cool always.
They cannot give up their face towards other, and they will try their best to look great
by lying.
#9 - They are sick.
Compulsive liars are basically sick people.
They have something wrong in their brain, making them behave like that over and over.
Because of the damage, they cannot differentiate the truth and the lies.
#10 - Being delusional.
The last thing is that they don't like the life they are in.
They prefer different narrative in their life, and that's why they keep lying.
People around them completely realize this condition, and sometimes they instead support
the liars by accepting the truth.
Well, it is really difficult to debate with liars anyway.
However, delusional liars actually need support from professional to get their life back on
the track.
All in all, those are the 10 reasons why compulsive liars think it's okay to lie.
So, really cool information isn't it?

How we're saving one of Earth's last wild places | Steve Boyes - Duration: 9:02.
Visible from space,
the Okavango Delta
is Africa's largest remaining intact wetland wilderness.
This shining delta in landlocked Botswana is the jewel of the Kalahari,
more valuable than diamonds to the world's largest diamond producer
and celebrated in 2014
as our planet's 1000th UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Now, what you see here are the two major tributaries,
the Cuito and the Cubango,
disappearing up north into the little-known Angolan highlands.
This is the largest undeveloped river basin on the planet,
spanning an area larger than California.
These vast, undeveloped Angolan watersheds were frozen in time
by 27 years of civil war.
In fact, Africa's largest tank battle since World War II
was fought over a bridge crossing the Okavango's Cuito River.
There on the right,
disappearing off into the unknown,
into the "Terra do fim do mundo" --
the land at the end of the earth,
as it was known by the first Portuguese explorers.
In 2001, at the age of 22,
I took a job as head of housekeeping at Vundumtiki Camp
in the Okavango Delta ...
a patchwork mosaic of channels, floodplains, lagoons
and thousands upon thousands of islands to explore.
Home to the largest remaining population of elephants on the planet.
Rhinos are airlifted in C130s to find sanctuary in this wilderness.
Lion,
leopard,
hyena,
wild dog,
cheetah,
ancient baobab trees that stand like cathedrals
under the Milky Way.
Here, I discovered something obvious:
wilderness is our natural habitat, too.
We need these last wild places to reconnect with who we really are.
We --
all seven billion of us --
must never forget we are a biological species
forever bound to this particular biological world.
Like the waves connected to the ocean,
we cannot exist apart from it --
a constant flow of atoms and energy between individuals and species
around the world in a day
and out into the cosmos.
Our fates are forever connected to the millions of species
we rely on directly and indirectly every day.
Four years ago,
it was declared that 50 percent of all wildlife around the world
had disappeared in just 40 years.
This is a mass drowning of 15,000 wildebeests
that I witnessed in the Maasai Mara two years ago.
This is definitely our fault.
By 2020, global wildlife populations are projected to have fallen
by a staggering two-thirds.
We are the sixth extinction
because we left no safe space for millions of species
to sustainably coexist.
Now, since 2010, I have poled myself eight times across the Okavango Delta
to conduct detailed scientific surveys
along a 200-mile, 18-day research transect.
Now, why am I doing this?
Why am I risking my life each year?
I'm doing this because we need this information
to benchmark this near-pristine wilderness
before upstream development happens.
These are the Wayeyi river bushmen, the people of the Okavango Delta.
They have taught me all I know about the Mother Okavango --
about presence in the wild.
Our shared pilgrimage across the Okavango Delta each year
in our mokoros or dugout canoes --
remembers millenia living in the wild.
Ten thousand years ago,
our entire world was wilderness.
Today, wilderness is all that remains of that world, now gone.
Ten thousand years ago, we were as we are today:
a modern, dreaming intelligence unlike anything seen before.
Living in the wilderness is what taught us to speak,
to seek technologies like fire and stone, bow and arrow,
medicine and poison,
to domesticate plants and animals
and rely on each other and all living things around us.
We are these last wildernesses --
every one of us.
Over 80 percent of our planet's land surface
is now experiencing measurable human impact:
habitat destruction
and illegal wildlife trade are decimating global wildlife populations.
We urgently need to create safe space for these wild animals.
So in late 2014,
we launched an ambitious project to do just that:
explore and protect.
By mid-May 2015,
we had pioneered access through active minefields
to the undocumented source lake of the Cuito River --
this otherworldly place;
an ancient, untouched wilderness.
By the 21st of May,
we had launched the Okavango megatransect ...
in seven dugout canoes;
1,500 miles, 121 days later,
all of the poling, paddling and intensive research
got us across the entire river basin to Lake Xau in the Kalahari Desert,
480 kilometers past the Okavango Delta.
My entire world became the water:
every ripple, eddy, lily pad and current ...
any sign of danger,
every sign of life.
Now imagine millions of sweat bees choking the air around you,
flesh-eating bacteria,
the constant threat of a landmine going off
or an unseen hippo capsizing your mokoro.
These are the scenes moments after a hippo did just that --
thrusting its tusks through the hull of my boat.
You can see the two holes --
puncture wounds in the base of the hull --
absolutely terrifying
and completely my fault.
(Laughter)
Many, many portages,
tree blockages and capsizes in rocky rapids.
You're living on rice and beans,
bathing in a bucket of cold water
and paddling a marathon six to eight hours every single day.
After 121 days of this,
I'd forgotten the PIN numbers to my bank accounts
and logins for social media --
a complete systems reboot.
You ask me now if I miss it,
and I will tell you I am still there.
Now why do we need to save places we hardly ever go?
Why do we need to save places
where you have to risk your life to be there?
Now, I'm not a religious or particularly spiritual person,
but in the wild,
I believe I've experienced the birthplace of religion.
Standing in front of an elephant far away from anywhere
is the closest I will ever get to God.
Moses, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus,
the Hindu teachers, prophets and mystics,
all went into the wilderness --
up into the mountains, into the desert,
to sit quietly and listen for those secrets
that were to guide their societies for millennia.
I go into the Okavango on my mokoro.
You must join me one day.
Over 50 percent of the remaining wilderness is unprotected.
A huge opportunity --
a chance for us all.
We need to act with great urgency.
Since the 2015 megatransect,
we have explored all major rivers of the Okavango River basin,
covering a life-changing 4,000 miles of detailed research transects
on our dugout canoes
and our fat-tire mountain bikes.
We now have 57 top scientists
rediscovering what we call the Okavango-Zambezi water tower --
this vast, post-war wilderness with undocumented source lakes,
unnamed waterfalls in what is Africa's largest remaining Miombo woodland.
We've now discovered 24 new species to science
and hundreds of species not known to be there.
This year, we start the process, with the Angolan government,
to establish one of the largest systems of protected areas in the world
to preserve the Okavango-Zambezi water tower
we have been exploring.
Downstream, this represents water security for millions of people
and more than half of the elephants remaining on this planet.
There is no doubt this is the biggest conservation opportunity in Africa
in decades.
Over the next 10 to 15 years,
we need to make an unprecedented investment
in the preservation of wilderness around the world.
To me,
preserving wilderness is far more than simply protecting ecosystems
that clean the water we drink and create the air we breathe.
Preserving wilderness protects our basic human right to be wild --
our basic human rights to explore.
Thank you.
(Applause)

The pros and cons of schools ditching a long summer break - Duration: 7:21.
JUDY WOODRUFF: For many American students and their families, summer is sacrosanct,
a nice long break from school to recharge and refresh.
But students in about 4 percent of public schools attend on a year-round schedule.
Supporters of the idea say they can stop a loss of learning and boost achievement, especially
for low-income students who need school meals over the break.
Special correspondent Lisa Stark of our partner Education Week visited one such school in
Holt, Michigan.
It's part of our weekly segment Making the Grade.
MAN: So, everybody get a little space here, just so they can get the proper grip, OK?
LISA STARK: It's the start of summer break in Holt, Michigan, and tennis camp is in full
swing, one of a number of summer activities on tap for middle schooler Lucia (ph) Frost,
who was ready for school to end.
You're on summer vacation.
STUDENT: Yes, it was great.
LISA STARK: It feels good.
STUDENT: Yes, finally.
LISA STARK: But for her younger sister, Caico (ph), class is still in session.
Caico's school, Sycamore Elementary, is one of two in this district that uses a so-called
year-round, or balanced, calendar.
There are no additional school days, still around the typical 180, but those days are
divided up differently.
In a year-round calendar, summer vacation is shorter, about half of the usual 10 to
12 weeks, and there are one- to two-week breaks sprinkled throughout the year.
So what would you say to kids who don't know about the balanced calendar?
STUDENT: I would tell them that it feels like you can get more breaks, but you still learn
as much as you need to be educated.
LISA STARK: Mom Kelly Frost is a fan.
KELLY FROST, Parent: I think it's nice for the kids.
They don't get burnt out during the school year.
And in the summer, I think that by having the shortened summer, I think they're still
getting their freedom outside.
LISA STARK: Some 3,700 schools in the U.S., around 4 percent of schools, use a balanced
calendar.
In some cases, it's to manage overcrowding, to stagger schedules, so one school can handle
more students.
But, at many schools, such as Sycamore, the hope is to boots student achievement with
more consistent education.
Third-grade teacher Denise Schaffer.
DENISE SCHAFFER, Teacher: I think that it gives us continuity, and, over time, we can
spread our learning out a little bit and take things a little more deliberately.
LISA STARK: Long summers, though, are part of the American culture, and can be a magical
time for some families.
Any attempt to change the school schedule often causes an uproar.
Here's Harvard's Jennifer Davis.
JENNIFER DAVIS, Harvard University: The current school calendar is so ingrained in the American
society and family life, that it's very hard to change.
LISA STARK: Davis, though, believes this school schedule is way out of date.
JENNIFER DAVIS: Today's American school calendar was created for the 19th century farm and
factory economy, and hasn't kept pace with the needs of our changing economy and with
the needs of families in today's world.
Kelly Frost agrees.
KELLY FROST: I think the shorter summers are better for education.
I think the longer summers, they're out too long.
LISA STARK: Long summer breaks can be a time of learning loss, known as the summer slide,
especially for low-income students, who may not have the money for camps, classes or summer
activities to keep their minds active.
Every summer, low-income students lose about two months in reading skills, while middle-income
students hold their own.
In math, most students, regardless of income, lose some math skills.
Matthew Boulay heads the National Summer Learning Association.
MATTHEW BOULAY, National Summer Learning Association: The real problem with summer learning loss
is not simply what happens over one summer, but it's the problem of loss summer after
summer after summer.
LISA STARK: Sycamore Elementary hopes to reduce that loss with the balanced calendar.
It's the district's highest-poverty school.
Over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
DAVID HORNAK, Superintendent, Holt Public Schools: If we do the school the way we have
always done it, we're going to get the same result we always have.
So, by changing the calendar, that's one thing that we can modify to potentially make a difference.
LISA STARK: The district superintendent, David Hornak, also heads up the National Association
for Year-Round Education.
He admits this schedule can be a tough sell.
Opponents argue teachers and students lose out on summer jobs.
For parents, it may be hard to find child care during school breaks.
Coaches worry about scheduling high school sports.
And, for schools, summer air conditioning can be costly.
Hornak understands these concerns, but insists a balanced calendar just makes sense.
DAVID HORNAK: I think that that's something we should take a longer look at.
We are spending millions and millions of dollars nationwide remediating the gaps that the traditional
calendar in fact creates.
LISA STARK: At Sycamore, internal measures show students here are not losing ground during
the summer break.
Principal Steve Garrison says you can see the difference when students return after
the short summer vacation.
STEVE GARRISON, Principal, Sycamore Elementary: We don't have a long six to eight weeks of
trying to get kids caught up.
We start right off.
Second week, instruction starts after our routines are set.
LISA STARK: Despite the enthusiasm here for the year-round schedule, the data on its effectiveness
are quite mixed.
It is not clear that a balanced calendar really helps students retain more information or
improves test scores.
A 2015 study found that year-round students do pull ahead during the summer, but students
on a traditional nine-month calendar catch up and pull ahead during the rest of the year.
Study author Paul von Hippel:
PAUL VON HIPPEL, University of Texas: Well, it is basically the same 175, 180 days spread
out differently across the year.
And since total instruction doesn't increase, total learning doesn't increase either.
LISA STARK: Sycamore has tried to add learning time by offering voluntary academics and activities
during school breaks.
But some researchers argue it's easier to boost instruction time without tossing out
the traditional calendar by simply extending school hours, adding extra days, and offering
summer school.
Still, at Sycamore, they're convinced the year-round schedule is what's best for students
and teachers.
DENISE SCHAFFER: I love having shorter breaks more frequently.
I really feel that it is better for my -- my level of energy and enthusiasm for teaching.
LISA STARK: Those regular breaks are a big hit with Caico too.
STUDENT: I really want to stay on the balanced calendar.
LISA STARK: Why?
STUDENT: Because it just makes me more happy.
LISA STARK: So, Caico's just fine waiting for her summer vacation, even as her sister
is already off and running.
For the "PBS NewsHour" and Education Week, I'm Lisa Stark in Holt, Michigan.

Watson And The Shark | Shark Week (Real Shark Attack) - Duration: 5:32.
If you're like me, Shark Week is one of your favorite times of the year.
Perhaps it's the mystery that surrounds these animals that attracts us, or maybe it's the
scary stories of JAWS come to life that reels us in.
All we know is that we love Shark Week, and we can't get enough.
With that in mind, Let's take a look at a shark attack from the 1700's that has been
immortalized in history.
Welcome to That Was History, I'm your host Cliff Langston.
In 1778, famous painter John Singleton Copley would complete a painting named simply, "Watson
and the Shark."
This painting depicts a tragic scene of nine sailors trying to rescue a boy from the ocean
before a massive shark can sink its teeth into him.
The viewer is left with an eerie feeling of uncertainty about the fate of this young boy.
Fortunately for you, I've got the details of what really happened.
You see, the "Watson and the Shark" painting is actually based on the real life shark attack
that happened to Sir Brook Watson in 1749.
Watson, who was 14 years old at the time, was swimming by himself in Havana Harbor which
is located in Cuba.
He was attacked twice by the shark.
During the first attack, the shark bit off flesh from Watson's right leg.
The second time, it took his entire right foot.
Thankfully, Watson was rescued by his shipmates, but his leg would have to be amputated at
the knee, and it would take 3 months for him to recover.
So how exactly does a merchant sailor convince renowned artist, John Singleton Copley to
recreate his ordeal in a painting that the world can still enjoy to this day?
It all has to do with what Sir Brook Watson was able to achieve after his shark attack.
In the 1750's he served as commissary to several British officers throughout the Seven Years' War.
Due to this, he became known as "the wooden-legged commissary."
In 1759, Watson would return to London to continue his mercantile career and would find
success there, as well as in Montreal and Boston.
He even meddled in government business leading up to the American Revolutionary War.
For example, Watson would intercept letters written to British General, Thomas Gage, that
supposedly contained proof that Gage was a spy.
On the flip side, Watson was also accused of developing relationships with American
leaders in order to obtain important information and relay it back to the British.
It was at this point in his life that Watson would finally meet John Singleton Copley in
1774.
We aren't exactly sure how they met, but the two main theories are that they either met
on the same ship traveling from Boston to England, or that they met sometime in London.
As mentioned earlier, Copley wouldn't finish the painting until 1778.
"Watson and the Shark" was put on display at The Royal Academy of Arts that same year
and became very popular.
An interesting note is that modern experts believe that it is likely that Copley had
never seen a shark because he included features that sharks do not have.
For example, the shark was given lips, eyes that face forward, and
I also noticed that this fin looks very round, which isn't the case for the majority of sharks
that I've seen.
Copley would end up producing three versions of the painting.
The third version contains a shark that is much closer in appearance to what we recognize.
In addition to that I noticed that Copley put more emphasis on the blood and exposed
bone in Watson's leg in the third version which makes for a more dramatic image.
The painting would remain in Watson's possession until his death in 1807.
He noted in his Will that he would like for the painting to be given to Christ's Hospital,
"to be hung up in the Hall of their Hospital as holding out a most useful lesson to youth."
The hospital accepted the painting in 1819.
The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
Purchased the painting in 1963 which is where it remains on display.
Copley's second version of "Watson and the Shark" is now at the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston, and the third version is at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Watson continued to climb the status ladder all the way up until his death.
In the last 25 years of his life he held all kinds of political titles including member
of parliament for the city of London, Sheriff, Lord Mayor, Commissary-General of England,
and Director of the Bank of England.
He was also made a Baronet in 1803, and his Coat of Arms even includes his long lost severed
right foot.
Sir Brook Watson was dealt a bad hand at a young age, but he was determined to overcome
the obstacle, and I'd say he did just that.

I wouldn't say that the sailors on that ship were as lucky as Brook Watson was.
