FAQ
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. 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. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. The second neuron also fires.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. That happens a lot.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. Perhaps you play a woman that is supposed to be strong but who cries a lot.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They want you to sound better most of the time.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Some people think 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 plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
The answer to that question may shock you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Still, others say aliens took it away.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. What is the difference between some towns that disappear and others that survive? I decided to investigate.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How does one place go extinct?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines both the history and current status.
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
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.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
