FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with 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.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
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 allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.
So let's explore how this remarkable destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it means "land of ice." Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis is the name Antarktis was given to an island in ancient Greece by Zeus' twin brothers. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. The term antarctic is derived from this.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
What is it that makes Antarctica so unique? Here, water freezes and becomes ice instead of evaporated into the air.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. They are growing in size every year.
The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to widespread flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. 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.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. It matters because of this.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. Which would mean fewer opportunities for the blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Everything in your body is controlled and managed by your brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. The second neuron also fires.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. 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.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
