FAQ
What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was also called the City of God in ancient Greek. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a 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 little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's in Switzerland, actually!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided that I would investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What makes a town disappear? How can one place become extinct?
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 suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. 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 history and current status of these places.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
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 your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. In turn, the second neuron also fires.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
Five interesting facts about your liver.
The liver is responsible of breaking down toxins and storing nutrients. It also helps regulate blood pressure and keeps our body temperature stable.
We hear it all the time: "I feel sluggish today" or "my head feels heavy". These symptoms may indicate problems with the liver.
Some common signs include dark urine, yellowing skin, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, jaundice (yellow coloration), and itching. These aren't all warning signs. If you feel any of these warning signs, consult your doctor immediately.
The liver is a vital organ. It is essential for detoxification and metabolism as well as reproduction.
-
The average adult liver weighs 1,400g.
-
A baby's liver is about half the size of an adult's at birth. It grows to be about four times bigger by age three than an infant's.
-
The liver can be found just below the rib cage, on the left side.
-
The liver has 16 main lobes, with many smaller lobules within the lobes.
-
There are approximately 10,000,000 red blood cells in the liver.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But, here's why it matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove 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. It's not good for anyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
We must stop this from happening again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the entire world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. We were there last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. Eventually, he went to rehab and came out clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath’s tale will be a wakeup call to anyone who may believe that they can still have all.
