FAQ
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. The second neuron also fires.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. The names are not known to us. It matters because of this.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This must be stopped before it happens again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
The majority of this garbage ends up in incinerators or landfills. But what happens when the dumpsters become full? It goes to the United States, where most of it is exported. It is then shipped out and dumped in other countries. This pollutes the ecosystems. But now we know, thanks to one man. Mike Sexton is his full name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton began to follow truck drivers around 20 years ago.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton remembered, "The man was looking for somewhere to put the load." "He drove down the road and saw this building. He stopped and pulled up, then he went inside. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. It was a complete mess. But it had been cleaned before he arrived. There wasn't any trash anywhere."
What is the explanation? This particular spot used to be a recycling center. People would drive there to recycle their trash. Sexton explained that they would bring household items and take them to the building. Then, after they were done, they would empty the containers.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.
Trash is not the only problem our planet faces.
Most of these particles are made up of tiny pieces of plastic.Some of these plastics end up in landfills or incinerators. Others get washed into rivers or oceans.And when they reach the ocean, they often end up in the stomachs of fish.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
Statistics
- "It is estimated that 75% of people have at least mild gum disease, with the most common symptoms being bleeding when brushing, bad breath, and dark and swollen gums," Dr. Ron Baise, a London-based dentist, tells Romper. (romper.com)
- In fact, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, you make 15 to 30 gallons of tears each year, which is insane when you think about it. (romper.com)
- You spend about 10% of your time awake blinking (romper.com)
- It might not sound like something that's truly plausible — and it is quite rare — but according to a 2015 study published in the Asian Cardiovascular & Thoracic Annals, it's possible to hurt yourself and even break a rib just by sneezing. (romper.com)
- Your mouth makes a lot of saliva every day It might seem like way too much, but your salivary glands typically produce anywhere from 0.5 and 1.5 liters a day, according to a 2009 study published in the Journal of Medicine and Life. (romper.com)

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
