FAQ
Which is the most mysterious spot on Earth?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it's unlike any other place in the world.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. There is much more to this place than meets the eyes.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica's name is a mystery. Others believe it means "land with ice". Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.
Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would signify land turned away the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. Here are approximately 50% of all the animal and plant species in the world.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This causes large ice masses to rise above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.
This is not necessarily bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
Here are 5 fascinating facts about the liver
The liver is responsible to detoxify toxins and store vitamins and minerals. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms could be signs of liver problems.
Other symptoms include itching, yellowing of the skin, heavy urine, yellowing of the skin, fatigue and nausea. But these aren't the only warning signs. These are not the only warning signs. Make an appointment immediately with your doctor if they occur.
The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.
-
The average adult liver weighs 1,400g.
-
At birth, a baby's liver is half the size of an adult. It is four times larger by the time an infant turns three.
-
The liver is located below the ribs on the left-hand side of your abdomen.
-
The liver has 16 main lobes, with many smaller lobules within the lobes.
-
The liver contains about 10 million individual red blood cells.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
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.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. As an actor, it's likely that you will be rejected a lot. But it doesn't matter because eventually, you'll find someone who loves you.
Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all the times.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They usually want you sound better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. 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 lost his long and 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 one of the most gifted actors currently working. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was supposed to hit theaters this year. However, it won't until next year.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. 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.
