FAQ
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. 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 typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors love acting, and love telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. 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. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They usually want you sound better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
Which is the most mysterious spot on Earth?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike any other spot 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
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Others believe it means "land with ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. Hence, the word antarctic.
Others believe that the name is a combination of the Greek words anti and tropos which mean against and turn. This would mean that the land was turned away by the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They are growing in size every year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. This could lead to widespread flooding.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by 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 to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I set out to find out.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What causes a community to disappear? What makes a place disappear?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once thought to be one the greatest actors of all time. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. He ended up in rehab and became 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 supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
