FAQ
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
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, we should embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
Observe why they are important.
Why are actors blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the times.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They will usually ask you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They just moved to another city.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided that I would investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
