Why Do Some Girls Constantly Twirl Their Hair? PDF Print E-mail

There are many reasons girls may twirl their hair. Often, it is just a habit that is hard to break. Some girls twirl their hair when they feel nervous. Others may do it when they are being flirtatious. In some cases, however, hair twirling can be a sign of a mental health condition, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or depression.

Habits can start at a very young age, and hair twirling is a common habit. Often, it begins when a girl is just a toddler and may develop into hair pulling as she grows older. Many girls aren’t aware that they twirl their hair because the habit becomes so ingrained. In most cases, girls grow out of this habit. If they don’t, they may consider seeing a therapist for behavior modification therapy.

 
Why Do Movie Mistakes Occur? PDF Print E-mail

Director Steven Spielberg accidentally stepped into the frame of one of his first movies, a made-for-television production called Duel. When the film was released on DVD, Spielberg left the mistake in to remind him of the imprecise nature of film making. Other famous movie mistakes include the miraculously self-recovering hubcaps in Bullitt, the clear shadow of a modern movie camera in Stagecoach, and the door-challenged Storm Trooper in the original Star Wars.

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

Why do such movie mistakes occur? Quite often the answer lies in the high pressure world of commercial film making. Directors generally work under tight budget and time restraints, and re-shooting scenes can be a logistical nightmare. If an occasional movie slip-up manages to sneak into the final cut of a film, it may be best to leave it in rather than arrange for an expensive re-shoot or other post-production fix.

 
Why are Superhero Movies So Popular? PDF Print E-mail

Superman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man; it seems the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century goes on and on. The revival of the genre has surpassed all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest opening-weekend box office grosses being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade, from desperate attempts to escape to an honest yearning for real-life heroes.

Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism. They are traditionally meant to be a blend of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. These movies tend to be powerhouses of action, stunts and excitement, immersing the audience in a colorful and fully-realized world. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.

 
Why are Logo T-Shirts so Popular? PDF Print E-mail

Logo t-shirts are popular for a variety of reasons. For example, they can help to identify a person for his or her unique qualities or lifestyle. In some cases, the logo t-shirt may also present a specific lifestyle or belief. Those who wear a logo t-shirt with Nike’s “Just do it,” for example, are often expressing their belief in never giving up.

Logo t-shirts are also popular because they demonstrate a person’s loyalty to a specific product, television show, musical group, or other commodity. A Harley Davidson fan, for example, may wear a t-shirt with the Harley Davidson logo on it to show that he or she is a fan of that brand of motorcycle. In this way, logo t-shirts can also help a person identify with other individuals with the same interest. Logo t-shirts are also worn by some people because the shirts represent a certain memory, or because they feel they can relate to the logo in one way or another. Individuals who wear logo t-shirts from cartoons, such as Disney cartoons, often wear them for this reason.

Of course, logo t-shirts do not necessarily have to be associated with a product. Many logo t-shirts simply have sayings on them, most of which are designed to be humorous. In this case, logo t-shirts are a way for a person to show his or her sense of humor. They can also demonstrate a person’s belief system or show an aspect of their personality.

Although these types of logo t-shirts are not associated with a specific brand, they still provide individuals with a means of banding together and expressing who they are. For example, some logo t-shirts may depict drinking alcohol as being desirable, others may show that the wearer really enjoys playing video games, and others may express a political or controversial opinion. All of these types of logo t-shirts allow the wearer to express what type of person he or she is without having to say a word.

 
Why can't I take flash photographs in museums? PDF Print E-mail

There are several reasons why people are often asked not to take flash photographs in museums. The primary concern is preservation of the art, as flash photography can cause significant damage to works of art, especially when it occurs in high volume. Some cynics have also suggested that prohibitions on flash photographs in museums may have something to do with a desire to preserve gift shop revenue, but this is not in fact the case.

 
Why Is there a 160 Character SMS Limit? PDF Print E-mail

Short message service (SMS) is the system through which people can send brief text messages between cell phones. In the English alphabet, these messages are limited to 160 characters each, including spaces. This limitation results from the system on which SMS operates. Instead of using the primary system for telephone communication, SMS uses a channel designed to send small packets of information between cell phones and cell towers. The 160-character SMS limit is simply a consequence of the originally modest use to which this channel was put. The channel was chosen as the basis for SMS because the system could be implemented easily, with minimal need for new infrastructure.

 
Why is NOT clear cutting good for environment? PDF Print E-mail
Clearcutting, or clearfelling, is a logging practice which involves completely clearing an area of trees, regardless of their size and usability.Remaining scrub and brush are usually burnt in large burn piles  that can cast a smoky haze over the area for several days.

A clearcut area may be relatively small, or may span for miles, and is often clearly visible through the air, along with the scars of logging roads cut to access it. The abrupt removal of trees can have a serious environmental impact on the surrounding area.

Negative impacts(by wikipedia)

Clearcutting can have major negative impacts. These have been cited as soil erosion, poor quality re-growth, increased risk of pest epidemics, increased wildfires, loss of biodiversity, and loss of economic sustainability and increased environmental instability, loss of carbon contributing to global warming and so on.[4] Unfortunately the response of governments around the world has sometimes been to marginalize community, environmental, social and academic concerns and defer to the logging industry.

Why are wedding dresses white? PDF Print E-mail
In Western society, it is traditional for a new bride to wear a white wedding dress at the ceremony, often with a matching veil.

This tradition is a fairly recent development, however — until the mid-1800s, and even through much of the 20th century, the wedding dress was merely a formal dress that could be reused for any special occasion. The bride could wear any color except for red or black, which were associated with prostitutes and mourning, respectively.

Why can't I use cell phone on airplane? PDF Print E-mail
In 1991, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned passengers from using their cell phones while on board an airplane that is in flight.


The ban was instituted because the FCC suspected that the radio frequency emitted by cell phones could malfunction an airplane's equipment systems. In complying with this rule, different airlines have instituted different policies about when phones can be turned on and off. In 2005, the FCC announced that it might consider lifting the ban on the use of cell phones on airplanes, with certain restrictions.
