FAQ
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. This is why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. And that's not good for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
We must stop this from happening again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. 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. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica, The South Pole
Antarctica is named for no one. Some say it means "land on ice." Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. This is why the word "antarctic" was chosen.
Others believe the name was derived from the Greek words tropos, which means turn, and anti, meaning against. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated 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.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What makes Antarctica so special? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
The Antarctic ice has grown 60 feet so far since 1960.
The sea level will rise up to 200 feet if melting continues. That could cause massive flooding around the globe.
However, not all scientists believe this to be 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.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
These 5 facts are amazing about the liver
The liver is responsible for breaking down toxins and storing vitamins and minerals. It regulates blood pressure and maintains a stable body temperature.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms could be signs of liver problems.
Common signs include yellowing skin, dark urine, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, stomach cramps (yellow coloration), itching, and jaundice (yellow colouration). These aren’t the only warning signs. You should immediately consult your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
The liver is an essential organ. It is responsible for detoxification as well digestion, metabolism and immunity.
-
The average adult liver weights about 1,400g.
-
A baby's liver is about half the size of an adult's at birth. By age three, it is about four times larger than that of an infant.
-
The liver is located on the left side, just below your rib cage.
-
The liver is divided into 16 major lobes. However, there are many smaller lobules that are within these lobes.
-
There are approximately 10,000,000 red blood cells in the liver.
