FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions, guilds, and associations represent actors, writers, producers, editors, and other creative professionals. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
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.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
You'll see why they are so important.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
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 that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. But here's why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They would then go bankrupt.
This could mean 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. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. This is not good news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
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. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. In turn, the second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. 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 also coordinate activity between different brain parts.

How To
American history is full of secret societies and clubs
Many reasons make American History's secret societies and clubs fascinating. Another reason is the mystery that surrounds them. Another reason is because of their effect on our society.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America's history to promote ideas that would otherwise be considered taboo. Anti-Semitism, racism, and other ideas are just a few of the many examples. These groups also helped spread political ideologies such as communism and socialism.
The Ku Klux Klan was the most famous American group. This group was established in 1865, after the Civil War had ended. Its purpose is to protect white people from African Americans.
Other organizations that were created in this period include the Knights Templar (Freemasons), and Odd Fellows. These organizations shared the same beliefs and goals.
Another interesting thing about secret societies is the fact that membership was often restricted to males. These secret societies also included women. These women were Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger as well as Susan B Anthony.
In addition to the groups mentioned above, other secret societies did not share the same ideals. The Order of Skull & Bones is an example of a secret society that was established in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite class within the United States.
