Ann McKnight was first born in Connecticut in 1906. After her father's death, her family moved to Denver, Colorado, where she and her sister, Ada, caught the acting bug. In the 1920s, they moved to Los Angeles to chase their dreams of appearing in movies. Their opportunities to star in movies were limited by the Great Depression. They found work as extras and dancers in local clubs. McKnight was eventually married to an abusive drug addict, and was also an alcoholic.
FAQ
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made up of billions upon billions of nerve cells that are connected together in groups called neuronal groups. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.

A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So, where exactly did this town go? Well, it's in Switzerland!

Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is the most mysterious continent on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica's name is a mystery. Some say it means "land on ice." Others believe it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated people.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. Because it is so cold, there aren't any trees, plants or animals.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. This could lead worldwide flooding.
However, not all scientists believe this to be bad news. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They say that as temperatures rise, the ice sheets might melt faster, causing floods that flush out tons of toxic chemicals from our soil and bodies.
Others cautioned that this theory sounds too science fiction.

American history: Secret societies and clubs
American History is fascinating because of many reasons. Their mystery is just one reason. Their effect on society is another reason.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America’s history in order to promote ideas that might otherwise be considered taboo. Some of these ideas include racism and anti-Semitism. These groups also helped spread political ideologies such as communism and socialism.
The Ku Klux Klan is America's most well-known organization. This group was founded in 1865 following the Civil War. Its purpose is to protect white people from African Americans.
The Knights Templar and Freemasons were also created during this time. All of these groups shared similar beliefs and goals.
Another interesting aspect of secret society membership is that it was not only for males. Some women were members of these secret societies. These women included Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, and Susan B Anthony.
There were other secret societies that did not share these ideals, in addition to those mentioned. The Order of Skull & Bones is an example of a secret society that was established in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite group within the United States.
