FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
How does the brain control the functions of your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
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.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and close friends had difficulty accepting his death. The media took to him publically.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
Although we don't think Heath should be allowed to return to the showbiz, It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
