"Disturbing Facts" is a novel about a young attorney who learns some shocking facts about her family. Decapitations don't necessarily mean death. A human head is still conscious for approximately thirty seconds after being cut. The human head can also hear voices.
Tendency not to hear voices
Though hearing voices may be a sign or symptom of severe mental illnesses, it does not necessarily indicate that the voice is the source of such illness. In fact, it is estimated that up to 8% of the general population hears voices from time to time. Furthermore, around one per cent of those who experience voice hearings only do so occasionally, and do not require psychiatric help.
Human head remains conscious for 30 seconds after decapitation
It is hard to estimate how long a head of a human remains conscious after it has been severed. However, it is very striking that it is still conscious. Normally, it would be expected that the head remains conscious for only a few seconds. However, this is not always true. Sometimes, the head may even remain conscious for longer than one minute after being decapitated.
Conus snails may shed blood from its eyes
Conus snails are famous for their brightly colored shells. They are slow to move and use a hypodermic needle as well as a hollow-harpoon-like dental to hunt their prey. Their neurotoxin, which they inject into the prey's nervous system, is the venom that they use. Cone snails' poisonous venom is extremely dangerous for people who misuse it.
King Charles II had a drink of alcohol mixed with pulverized head skulls
The drinking of alcohol mixed with pulverized human skull powder was a common practice in the 18th century. People believed that the powder would cure a number of ailments, including headaches and bleeding. This practice was also used for the treatment of epilepsy.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia is a leading cause of death for people. Although this condition can affect anyone it can be especially devastating for those who are chronically sick or malnourished. People who suffer from the disease may even be misdiagnosed as victims of a crime, and this can lead to tragic consequences for their families.
Makeup with lead
Lead is a heavy, bluish-grey metal that is naturally present in trace amounts in our environment. It is found naturally in rocks, soil, water, as well as many foods. But, the concentration of lead is typically below the threshold for concern for human safety. Air pollution is the main source of lead exposure. Makeup products, however, do not contain lead.
Medical errors
Medical errors result in at least one death every minute in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 251,454 people are killed each year due to medical errors. This accounts for more than 9 percent of all deaths. In addition, medical errors occur most frequently in high-stress situations, new procedures, and in fast-paced environments. Medical professionals are required to work together to reduce the risk of medical errors and prevent them from happening.
FAQ
What is your most secretive community?
The answer may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I set out to find out.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What causes a community to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get 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. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors love acting, and love telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all too often.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. 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. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. If you examine the skin closely, you will 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 with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that 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 matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
And see why they're so important.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the entire world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
The worst thing is when these stars are made public about their problems and shunned. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors 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. However, he quickly grew too large. He started to use drugs and drink heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
