FAQ
Do you wonder how much trash is produced each day across the globe?
According to the United Nations there are more than 25 billion tons of garbage produced each year.
Most of this rubbish ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, what happens when those dumpsters fill up? The majority of this rubbish is sent out of the country. It is then dumped in other countries, where it pollutes their ecosystems.But now, thanks to the work of one man, we know exactly where all this trash goes. Mike Sexton is his name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.
Sexton states that he finds his work very fulfilling. CNN spoke with Sexton that they have a lot fun. "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
He stated that he fell in love with the product.
His favorite story involved a driver who pulled off at an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton said that the man was searching for a place to store his stuff. "He drove down the road and saw this building. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The man removed everything from the truck and started to load it again. "Then he took out everything and began to fill up the truck. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. "It was a complete mess. But it had been cleared out before he arrived. There wasn't any trash."
This is the reason why it happened. Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. Sexton explained that people would bring home their household items, and then take them to the building. After they were done, they would dispose of the empty containers.
You might see this happen hundreds of times a day. This can happen hundreds of times a week.Eventually, the truck becomes so overloaded with junk that it stops running. The truck eventually stops running and the owner decides that it is time to get rid of the vehicle.
Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.
The majority of these particles are made of small pieces of plastic. Others get washed into rivers or oceans.And when they reach the ocean, they often end up in the stomachs of fish.
Experts warn that the world may soon face a shortage of food if we don't make any changes. Experts warn, "If you keep going like you're going," we could soon face a global food shortage. But most people don't seem to be worried, even though scientists are unanimous in warning us that the world is heading towards disaster.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each 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.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
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 the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
This question might surprise you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They just moved to another city.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland, actually!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. 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 do some disappear while others survive? I set out to find out.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? What makes a place disappear?
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. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
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.
How does the brain control the functions of your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. 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 with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron 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. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. 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.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once regarded as one of the best actors today. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. Eventually, he went to rehab and came out clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
