FAQ
What is the most secretive town in the world?
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.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.

What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, 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 the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood 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. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
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 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.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.

Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. The names are not known to us. It matters because of this.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This would make them bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. And that's not good for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
The worst part about this is that these same stars come out with their problems and are ridiculed by everyone. Last week, that's exactly where we were.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Heath was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s tale will be a wakeup call to anyone who may believe that they can still have all.
