There are scary facts about history that you need to know, no matter if you're a paranormal fan or not. The topics include Cryonics and Sleepwalking defense. Although some of these may be spooky, others can be considered interesting.
Arrhythmic Death Syndrome
Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, also known as SADS, is a condition when the heart suddenly stops beating. This is an indication of an underlying condition in the heart that can affect the electrical system. People who experience this type of sudden cardiac death may feel confused about the cause of death or be concerned for their own health.
Cryonics
Cryonics is the concept of preserving a human body after death. This controversial topic is being debated in the United States. Cryopreserved bodies can be stored in freezers. Since 1967, more than 100 people have been cryopreserved. Hundreds of others have made arrangements for their bodies to be frozen. Most do so via life insurance. Today, the largest cryonics organization is Alcor. This group is known for its medical approach and advanced technology in cryonics.
Hauntings in 1861
Hauntings of the past were not new in the 1860s. Many people of that time claimed to have seen ghostly figures. This included a Union soldier and two little girls. Some even claimed that the ghosts were cholera survivors. Others heard drum cadence.
Sleepwalking defense
Since 1846, sleepwalking has been used in criminal defense. It has been known as the "Twinkie", a controversial defense. Despite its controversy, sleepwalking was successfully used in court. Albert Tirrell was in fact the first to successfully use the defense.
Headless chicken
Miracle Mike, or the Headless Chicken as it is commonly known, is a historical landmark. It was born in April 1945. It died 18 months later. This terrifying historical fact is today celebrated on Mike the Headless Chicken Day.
Transfusions of blood
The history behind blood transfusions is scary. Before the 1990s, blood and other transfusion material had not been subject to clinical trials. Blood was often given to patients at greater risk than it offered benefits. Studies showed that transfusions had a negative impact on outcomes, prolonged hospital stays, and increased risks of developing certain post-operative infections. After receiving blood transfusions, patients were more likely be placed in intensive care units and ventilated.
FAQ
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet 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. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. 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 are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts 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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
What is the most interesting fact about the human 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. The heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
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. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. Most actors don't care about making money. They love acting, and they love telling stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. That happens a lot.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to 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 you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
