FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. 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. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the 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 is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is named for no one. Some believe it refers to "land of 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. This is why the word "antarctic" was chosen.
Others believe that the name is a combination of the Greek words anti and tropos which mean against and turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What is Antarctica? Here, water freezes and becomes ice instead of evaporated into the air.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. And they're growing larger every year.
The Antarctic ice has grown 60 feet so far since 1960.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. That could cause massive flooding around the globe.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. Here's why this matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. Which would mean fewer opportunities for the blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. And that's not good for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release 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.
Although we don't think Heath should be allowed to return to the showbiz, But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
