FAQ
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
Observe why they are important.
Ever wonder how much trash gets produced each day around the world?
According to the United Nations, the average person produces over 2.5 pounds of daily waste.That adds up to over 25 billion pounds of garbage per year!
Most of this trash ends up in landfill dumps or incinerators.But what happens when those dumpsters get full? It goes to the United States, where most of it is exported. 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 is the owner of Waste Watchers. His job involves monitoring the movements and routes of trash trucks across North America. He then reports back about what happens next.
Sexton said he enjoys his job. CNN asked Sexton if he thought it was a lot of fun. "We see these big trucks coming through town, so we'll keep following them. "Sexton started following truck drivers nearly 20 years ago.
He said, "I fell in love with it."
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He drove down the road and saw this building. He backed up and entered the building. "There were two huge roll-off containers there filled with stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was a complete mess. But it had been cleared out before he arrived. There was no trash."
What is the explanation? 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 that people would bring home their household items, and then take them to the building. After they were done, they would dispose of the empty containers.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. This could happen hundreds times per week. Finally, the truck stops running completely due to its excessive junk. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.

What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to 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.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
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.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. 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. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once thought to be one the greatest actors of all time. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut 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.
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.
