There are some interesting facts about bugs that you might not have known. There are over 10 quintillion bugs on Earth, and for every human there are at least 200 million bugs on the planet.

FAQ
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. As a result, the second neuron fires too.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. The names are not known to us. It matters because of this.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. That's bad for everyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all too often.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others still believe that 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 many roles available, and you will find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on 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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
And see why they're so important.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. Eventually, he went to rehab and came out clean.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
