FAQ
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. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 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 tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What is your most secretive community?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was also called the City of God in ancient Greek. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Others believe that aliens took it.
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 relocated to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So where is this town? Well, it's in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video examines both the history and current status.

What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They will usually ask you to sound better.
The best way to deal with these criticisms is to ignore them. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.
