FAQ
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote and difficult to reach. It is not what you see.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's find out how this mysterious destination became so famous.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis, the Greek name for the island on which Zeus' twin brothers were conceived, was used in ancient Greece. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Hence, the word antarctic.
Others believe the name was derived from the Greek words tropos, which means turn, and anti, meaning against. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
What is Antarctica? Here water freezes to ice and not evaporates into the atmosphere.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They're getting bigger every year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead worldwide flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations states that an average person produces more than 2.5 pounds of waste per day. That's over 25 billion pounds of garbage each year!
Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? Most of that trash is shipped out of the country. It is then shipped out and dumped in other countries. This pollutes the ecosystems. But now we know, thanks to one man. Mike Sexton is his nickname. 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. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "We'll be following these big rigs through town. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
He said, "I fell in love with it."
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton recalls, "The guy was searching for somewhere to put his loads." "He saw the building as he drove down the road. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. He then looked around and decided to load everything. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. "It was just an absolute mess. But it had been cleaned before he arrived. There was not a single piece of trash.
Why did this happen? It is because the location used to belong to a recycling centre. People who found out about this facility would drive to it to recycle their trash. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.
Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn that the world may soon face a shortage of food if we don't make any changes. "If we keep going like we're going, we're not going to make it," one expert warned.But even though scientists agree that the world is headed toward disaster, most people don't seem worried.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. This happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use 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. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
