FAQ
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. The heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. 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 to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood to drain from the area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer may shock you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
It was called the City of God by 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.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. 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 town vanished without any trace. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. 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.
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.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a town to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. 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 examines both the history and current status.
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
Why is this place so amazing? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is very remote and isolated. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica, The South Pole
Antarctica is named for no one. Some believe it means "land of ice." Others believe it comes out of Greek mythology.
Antarktis, the Greek name for the island on which Zeus' twin brothers were conceived, was used in ancient Greece. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. The term antarctic is derived from this.
Others believe that it is the Greek word anti, which means against, and tropos, which refers to turning. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has always been a fascination for people.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is Antarctica? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. This could lead worldwide flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. This is why it 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. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They could go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. And that's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.

How To
American history: Secret societies and clubs
American History is fascinating because of many reasons. Their mystery is just one reason. Another reason is their influence on our society.
Secret societies and clubs have been used throughout America’s history to spread ideas that would otherwise be taboo. Anti-Semitism, racism, and other ideas are just a few of the many examples. 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 formed in 1865 after the Civil War ended. Its purpose is to protect white people from African Americans.
Other organizations that were created in this period include the Knights Templar (Freemasons), and Odd Fellows. These groups had the same goals and beliefs.
Another interesting aspect of secret society membership is that it was not only for males. Some women were members of these secret societies. These women were Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger as well as Susan B Anthony.
In addition to the groups mentioned above, other secret societies did not share the same ideals. For example, the Order of Skull & Bones was founded in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite class within the United States.
