FAQ
What is the most secretive town in the world?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
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.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
The question is, where did this place go? It's actually in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated and astonished me to see how many towns have vanished but still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a community to disappear? How can one place become extinct?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
What is the most surprising fact about your 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 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 to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. As an actor, it's likely that you will be rejected a lot. But it doesn't matter because eventually, you'll find someone who loves you.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love acting and storytelling. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. This happens all the time.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They usually want you sound better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They just weren't born with the talent that made them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which 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 doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
You can see why they are so vital.
