Calvin Coolidge in the Resolute Desk's plank

Calvin Coolidge's entry to the "Nuclear Football."
Jerry Lewis does not need to have access to "Nuclear Football" after a hurricane. And, the American people certainly don't need mourner-in-chief. While it is comforting to hear that the president is worried is an important thing, it isn't as comforting as knowing that one is safe and sound with his family and friends.
Kennedy's "Culper Ring" access
John F. Kennedy, the "Culperring" and other political intruders are compelling stories of political intrigues and espionage. President Kennedy has long been interested in this organization, and now he has a way to access it. But is he willing to go undercover? It's possible that he is doing it.
FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. 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.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
Observe why they are important.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. 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 are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects 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 are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was called the City of Destruction by 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.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others believe that aliens took it.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
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 interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a community to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
What is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is remote and difficult to reach. There is much more to this place than meets the eyes.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is named for no one. Some say it means "land on ice." Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. Because it is so cold, there aren't any trees, plants or animals.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.
What is it that makes Antarctica so unique? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. And they're growing larger every year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.
However, not all scientists believe this to be bad news. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.
Others cautioned that this theory sounds too science fiction.
