FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. Here's why this matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
Here are 5 fascinating facts about the liver
The liver is responsible to detoxify toxins and store vitamins and minerals. It helps to regulate blood pressure and keep our bodies temperature stable.
How often do we hear someone say, 'I feel sluggish today' or 'my head feels heavy'? These symptoms may be a sign of liver disease.
Itching, dark urine and yellowing skin are all common symptoms. These aren’t the only warning signs. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is important to consult your doctor right away.
The liver plays a crucial role in our lives. It is vital for detoxification, metabolism, immunity, reproduction, and digestion.

What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in 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 about 5 liters blood per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
The answer to that question may shock you. This may make you feel uncomfortable as it challenges your perception of reality and the way we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). 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. 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 town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten 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.
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 has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
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.

American history is full of secret societies and clubs
The secret societies and clubs in American History are fascinating for many reasons. Another reason is the mystery that surrounds them. Their impact on our society is another reason.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America's history to promote ideas that would otherwise be considered taboo. These ideas include antisemitism or racism. These groups also contributed to the spread of political ideologies, such as communism & socialism.
The most famous organization in American history is the Ku Klux Klan. This group was established in 1865, after the Civil War had ended. 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 thing about secret societies is the fact that membership was often restricted to males. These secret societies also included women. These women included Emma Goldman. Margaret Sanger. And Susan B Anthony.
Other secret societies, aside from the ones mentioned, did not share the same ideals. For example, the Order of Skull & Bones was founded in 1832. Their goal, however, was to create an elite section within the United States.
