FAQ

What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?

You might be surprised at the answer. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.

It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.

In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is called Novgorod (Russia).

It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.

One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. 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 say it was swallowed up by the Earth. 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 relocated to another town.

There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.

Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland.

Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's 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 to investigate.

I was curious about the disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How does one place go extinct?

It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.

Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.


Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?

There is an Hollywood blacklist.

The list is not made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. Here's why this matters.

The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They would then go bankrupt.

This could result in even 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. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.

It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.

This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. It's not good for anyone.

Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. These people have had to fight to clear their names.

We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.


What is the most surprising fact about your body?

Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.

A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.

The heart pumps about 5 liters blood per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.

The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. Your heart beats nearly 100 times a minute while sleeping.

The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.

People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.

If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.

The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.


What is the reason actors are blacklisted?

When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.

Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. They love acting, and they love telling stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.

Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all the times.

But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.

Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're 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 a guy or a girl. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.

The best way to deal with these criticisms is to ignore them. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.

They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.

An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.

No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.

You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe

It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.

It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. 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. We found ourselves in that situation last week.

Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.

His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.

Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations went to Heath for his performance on 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, but he became too big for his britches. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he 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 to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.

Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related 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.
