FAQ
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. We don't know the names. Here's why this matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could mean more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.

How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Everything in your body is controlled and managed by your brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
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.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.

Which is the most secretive city in the world?
The answer may shock you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was also called the City of God in ancient Greek. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
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 believe the earth swallowed them up. Others claim a meteorite strike 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 a new town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? Well, it's in Switzerland!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. 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.
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 the past and present status of these areas.
