What is the most secretive town in the world?
This question might surprise you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
You might be wondering where this town went. Well, it's in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
It has always fascinated and astonished me to see how many towns have vanished but still exist. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video examines both the history and current status.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. For the wound to heal properly, blood must continue to flow. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. The names are not known to us. This is why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This would make them bankrupt.
This could lead to 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. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
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 there is a Hollywood blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. This is bad news 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.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their 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. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. 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 one of the most gifted actors currently working. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
In addition to acting, Heath also wrote and directed films, including A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball, and Iron Man 3.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. The film was originally supposed to be released in this year's theaters, but it will not make its way into the cinemas until next year.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
