FAQ
What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others believe that aliens took it.
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 another town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated and astonished me to see how many towns have vanished but still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What makes a town disappear? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory states that the town simply moves 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 both the history and current status.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
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 releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
Why are actors blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all too often.
After you've been cast, there may be criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. 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 might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
The best way to deal with these criticisms is to ignore them. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
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.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they help us make better choices.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose 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.
Observe why they are important.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
It is amazing to see how an industry handles its mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. He succumbed after taking too many prescription medications. After a brief struggle with death, he died.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
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 did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release 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 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 have been nice if he could have gotten some help before things spiraled 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.
