FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. 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 becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. 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 and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers 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.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. The names are not known to us. Here's why this matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. And that's not good for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This must be stopped before it happens again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
