Mesothelae
Mygalomorphae
Araneomorphae
&_160; See table of familiesAnatomically, spiders differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax and abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel. Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennae. In all except the most primitive group, the Mesothelae, spiders have the most centralized nervous systems of all arthropods, as all their ganglia are fused into one mass in the cephalothorax. Unlike most arthropods, spiders have no extensor muscles in their limbs and instead extend them by hydraulic pressure. Their abdomens bear appendages that have been modified into spinnerets that extrude silk from up to six types of silk glands within their abdomen. Spider webs vary widely in size, shape and the amount of sticky thread used. It now appears that the spiral orb web may be one of the earliest forms, and spiders that produce tangled cobwebs are more abundant and diverse than orb-web spiders. Spider-like arachnids with silk-producing spigots appear in the Devonian period about 386 million years ago, but these animals apparently lacked spinnerets. True spiders have been found in Carboniferous rocks from 318&_160;to&_160;299 million years ago, and are very similar to the most primitive surviving order, the Mesothelae. The main groups of modern spiders, Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae, first appear in the Triassic period, before 200 million years ago. A vegetarian species was described in 2008,[4] but all other known species are predators, mostly preying on insects and on other spiders, although a few large species also take birds and lizards. Spiders use a wide range of strategies to capture prey trapping it in sticky webs, lassoing it with sticky bolas, mimicking the prey to avoid detection, or running it down. Most detect prey mainly by sensing vibrations, but the active hunters have acute vision, and hunters of the genus Portia show signs of intelligence in their choice of tactics and ability to develop new ones. Spiders' guts are too narrow to take solids, and they liquidize their food by flooding it with digestive enzymes and grinding it with the bases of their pedipalps, as they do not have true jaws.

10. History of the Campervan: From Humble Box Van to Luxury Motorhome
November 05, 2009
The humble beginnings of the campervan go back as far as the 1920s with the first homemade attempts to adapt touring caravans into motorhomes (with very strange results!).

19. Rise in Truck Theft While Drivers Sleep

Theft is on the rise, an unfortunate yet predictable side-effect of the global recession. The freight industry is no different, with container security being stepped up to deal with an increase in truck theft. One of the most vulnerable times for truck security is when the driver is at rest. For long distance drivers sleep is unavoidable; for thieves it’s the perfect opportunity to simply, quickly and relatively quietly cut through the metal bolts which are often the truck’s only means of protection. It’s precisely this situation that inspired the invention of the new Zenloc Container Alarm (w... (read more)
