FAQ
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They had just moved to a new town.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So where is this town? It's actually in Switzerland!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided that I would 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 several theories behind the disappearing of 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. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals 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 release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But, here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. Which would mean fewer opportunities for the blacklisted filmmakers. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. Last week, that's exactly where we were.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. 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 soon grew too big for his good looks. He started to use drugs and drink heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled 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.
