FAQ
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions, guilds, and associations represent actors, writers, producers, editors, and other creative professionals. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are 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.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You'll see why they are so important.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. This is why it matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
We must stop this from happening again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.
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. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
What is the most surprising fact about your 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 that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
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. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up 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)
- A 2012 paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that people blink about 15 to 20 times each minute, meaning, if you do the math, you spend about 10% of the time that you're awake blinking. (romper.com)
