FAQ

What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?

Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.

There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.

Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.

It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.

Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they can help us make better decisions.

They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.

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.

They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.

You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.

Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.

Observe why they are important.


What are 5 interesting facts about the liver?

The liver is responsible for breaking down toxins and storing vitamins and minerals. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.

Is it not often that we hear people say "I feel sluggish today" and "my head feels heavier?" These symptoms may indicate problems with the liver.

You may notice symptoms such as dark urine, yellowing skin and fatigue. But these aren't the only warning signs. If you experience any of them, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.

The liver plays a crucial role in our lives. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.

  1. An adult liver weighs around 1,400 grams.
  2. At birth, the liver of a baby can be half as big as an adult's. It can grow to four times the size of an infant's liver by the age 3.
  3. The liver can be found just below the rib cage, on the left side.
  4. The liver is divided into 16 major lobes. However, there are many smaller lobules that are within these lobes.
  5. About 10 million red blood cells are found in the liver.


What is the most surprising fact about your body?

There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but 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 out about 5 liters 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.

Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.

People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.

You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to 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 occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.


What is your most secretive community?

The answer to that question may shock you. 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 called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.

It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.

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 say the earth swallowed it up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Still, others say aliens took it away.

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 just moved to another city.

There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.

You might be wondering where this town went. Well, it's in Switzerland!

You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.

It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided that I would investigate.

I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How can a town disappear from existence?

There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.

Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
