FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
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 insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Do you wonder how much trash is produced each day across the globe?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of the trash ends up at incinerators and landfills. But, what happens to those dumpsters? The majority of this rubbish is sent out of the country. It then gets dumped in foreign countries, polluting their ecosystems. However, now we know where all that trash goes. Mike Sexton is his real name. He runs Waste Watchers, a company that monitors the movements of trucks carrying trash all across North America. He then gives us a report on what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton began following truck drivers almost 20 years ago.
He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."
His favorite story involved a driver who pulled off at an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton remembered, "The man was looking for somewhere to put the load." "He saw the building as he drove down the road. So he backed up and went inside. "There was a pair of large, full-sized roll-off boxes. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "The man looked around the area and decided to unload all of it. There were tires, rags. furniture, mattresses. boxes, bottles, cans. "It was just total chaos. But it was cleaned out before he came. There was no trash."
This begs the question: Why? It's because this area used to be a recycle center. People would drive from all over the country to recycle their trash. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
Now, because of the way the law works, once a container reaches its destination, it cannot be opened.So no matter how often someone takes something out of it, the thing will never be emptied.Every time the truck comes by, it has to start over again. The truck can be stopped running if it is so full of junk that it has to come back hundreds of times per week. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.
Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.
These tiny plastic particles make up the majority of the particles. Some end up in incinerators or landfills. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.
Experts warn us that we may soon face an international food shortage if things don't change. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is very remote and isolated. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica, The South Pole
Antarctica's name is a mystery. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is 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 believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to 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. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, the frozen desert is alive with life.
Here, 90 percent live of all species of living things. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is it that makes Antarctica so unique? Here, water freezes and becomes ice instead of evaporated into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead to widespread flooding.
However, not all scientists believe this to be 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.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. 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. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
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.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
Observe why they are important.

How To
Secret societies and clubs in American history
The secret societies and clubs in American History are fascinating for many reasons. One reason is because of the mystery surrounding them. Another reason is because of their effect on our society.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America’s history in order to promote ideas that might otherwise be considered taboo. Anti-Semitism, racism, and other ideas are just a few of the many examples. These groups also spread ideologies like communism and socialists.
The Ku Klux Klan, the most famous American organization, is also the most important. This group was created in 1865 after the Civil War. It was created to protect white men against African Americans.
Other organizations that were created in this period include the Knights Templar (Freemasons), and Odd Fellows. All of these groups shared similar beliefs and goals.
Another interesting aspect of secret societies is that they often had memberships restricted to males only. These groups also had women members. These women included Emma Goldman (Margaret Sanger) and Susan B Anthony.
In addition to the groups mentioned above, other secret societies did not share the same ideals. The Order of Skull & Bones, for example, was established in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite group within the United States.
