Human hairballs
Human hairballs are an odd, but not completely unheard of condition. They are the result of humans eating their own hair. Trichophagia can be a rare but serious condition. One 18-yearold girl had a hairball so large it weighed almost as much as a football. The condition is very dangerous. It can cause discomfort, bleeding, or even death.
FAQ
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
This question might surprise you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was also called the City of Destruction in 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.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten 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? Well, it's in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing 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 both the history and current status.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the times.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to 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 it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
These criticisms should be 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. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. This is why it matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. They could go bankrupt.
This could result in even 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. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
