FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. 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 turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. 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 insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They could go bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in 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.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love acting and storytelling. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. It happens all the time.
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, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes 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 a guy or a girl. They will usually ask you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
Ever wonder how much trash gets produced each day around the world?
According to the United Nations there are more than 25 billion tons of garbage produced each year.
Most of this trash ends up in landfill dumps or incinerators.But what happens when those dumpsters get 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. Mike Sexton is his full name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.
Sexton said he enjoys his job. "We've got a lot of fun," he told CNN. "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
He said, "I fell in love with it."
Sexton's favorite story was about a driver who stopped at an abandoned gas station in Los Angeles. Sexton remembered, "The man was looking for somewhere to put the load." "He drove down the road to see this building. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were many old tires, furniture, rags and mattresses. It was a complete mess. But it had been cleaned before he arrived. There was not a single piece of trash.
Why did this happen? Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. Sexton explained, "They would bring their household goods and take them here," and they would then empty the containers.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. The truck can be stopped running if it is so full of junk that it has to come back hundreds of times per week. The truck eventually stops running and the owner decides that it is time to get rid of the vehicle.
Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.
Many of these tiny plastic pieces end up in landfills and incinerators. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. Experts warn that "if we keep going the way we are, we're not going make it," although scientists agree that the world is heading toward disaster. Most people, however, don't seem to be concerned.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
The worst part about this is that these same stars come out with their problems and are ridiculed by everyone. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. Two Academy Awards nominations went to Heath for his performance on Brokeback Mountain.
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 became too big for his britches. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
Now that he was sober, he wanted 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 tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath’s story can be an example to other people who believe they can still have it all.
