How does the brain control the functions of your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. 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 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 its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass 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 synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.
Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? Most of that trash is shipped out of the country. It is then dumped in other countries, where it pollutes their ecosystems.But now, thanks to the work of one man, we know exactly where all this trash goes. His name is Mike Sexton. He owns a company called Waste Watchers. He spends his time watching trucks hauling trash around North America. He then reports back about what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "We'll be following these big rigs through town. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."
Sexton's favorite story was about a driver who stopped at an abandoned gas station in Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He saw the building as he drove down the road. He pulled over and went in. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck 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. It had been cleaned up before he arrived. There was no trash."
What is the explanation? This particular spot used to be a recycling center. People would drive there to recycle their trash. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.
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 abandons the vehicle.
However, trash is not the only problem on our planet.
These tiny plastic particles make up the majority of the particles. Some end up in incinerators or landfills. Some end up in rivers and oceans, while others end up in fish's stomachs.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. Experts warn that if we continue to go the same way, we won't make it. However, scientists and most people aren't worried.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. But here's why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
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 there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
In addition to acting, Heath also wrote and directed films, including A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball, and Iron Man 3.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug 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 serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
