FAQ
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is filled with 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.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. 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 and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, 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. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. 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 allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
And see why they're so important.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are 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. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
Did you know that there are approximately 1.6 billion metric tons of trash produced every day in the world?
According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.
Most of this rubbish ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, what happens when those dumpsters fill up? All that trash ends up being shipped out of country. It then gets dumped in foreign countries, polluting their ecosystems. However, now we know where all that trash goes. Mike Sexton is his full name. He owns a company called Waste Watchers. He spends his time watching trucks hauling trash around North America. He then gives us a report on what happens next.
Sexton said he enjoys his job. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
"It's all I felt," he stated.
His favorite story is about a driver that pulled into an abandoned gas station just outside Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He saw the building as he drove down the road. He backed up and entered the building. "There was a pair of large, full-sized roll-off boxes. The man removed everything from the truck and started to load it again. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were tires, rags. furniture, mattresses. boxes, bottles, cans. "It was just a total mess. But it was cleaned out before he came. There wasn't any trash anywhere."
Why did this happen? The answer is that this location was once part of a recycling facility. People who knew about it would drive to this location to recycle their garbage. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.
This can happen hundreds of times a week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. 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.
The majority of these particles are made of small pieces of plastic. Some end up in rivers and oceans, while others end up in fish's stomachs.
Experts say if nothing changes, we could soon face a global food shortage. Experts warn that if we continue to go the same way, we won't make it. However, scientists and most people aren't worried.
