FAQ
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.

You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They usually want you sound better.

What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
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 from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. 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 the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
These 5 facts are amazing about the liver
The liver is responsible of breaking down toxins and storing nutrients. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms could indicate problems with your liver.
Common signs include yellowing skin, dark urine, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, stomach cramps (yellow coloration), itching, and jaundice (yellow colouration). These are not all the warning signs. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to consult your doctor right away.
The liver plays a crucial role in our lives. It is vital for detoxification, metabolism, immunity, reproduction, and digestion.

What is the most secretive town in the world?
You might be surprised at the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
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. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. 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.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland.
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's 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 makes a town disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines both the history and current status.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
The worst part about this is that these same stars come out with their problems and are ridiculed by everyone. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He succumbed after taking too many prescription medications. After a brief struggle with death, he died.
His family and close friends had difficulty accepting his death. The media took to him publically.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
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 became too big for his britches. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
