If you've ever been curious about deep underground military bases (DUMBs), you are probably aware of the many locations across the world. These secret bases are designed to keep government and life support systems functioning in the event of a disaster. For more information on these places, see Part II.
DUMBs
You're not the only one who has wondered where the military bases around the world are. Many believe that advanced technology allows the military and extraterrestrials to build bases at extreme depths. Most people reject the idea as a conspiracy theory. Revan Rising, a researcher, has data that supports his claims. He also has seismology charts that indicate volcanic and earthquake activity.
DUMBs in Niger
American military leaders believe that a Niger base is the best way for them to defeat Islamic State in West Africa. They also believe that it is easier to stop ISIS early in its growth than trying to stop it once it has built up cities. Although much of the information that is being discussed at Air Base 201 will remain classified, it could deter ISIS from deploying.
FAQ
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
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. 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 directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They coordinate activity between the different parts of your brain.
These 5 facts are amazing about the liver
The liver is responsible in breaking down toxins, storing vitamins and mineral, and for regulating blood pressure. It helps maintain a steady body temperature and regulates blood pressure.
How often do we hear someone say, 'I feel sluggish today' or 'my head feels heavy'? These symptoms may indicate problems with the liver.
Other symptoms include itching, yellowing of the skin, heavy urine, yellowing of the skin, fatigue and nausea. These are not the only warning signs. If you experience any of them, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.
The liver is an important organ. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.
-
The average adult liver weighs 1,400g.
-
At birth, the liver of a baby can be half as big as an adult's. It is four times larger by the time an infant turns three.
-
The liver can be found on the left side of your abdomen, just below the lower rib cage.
-
There are 16 main lobes in the liver, but many smaller lobules are inside the lobes.
-
The liver is home to approximately 10 million red blood cell units.
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
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 a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
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.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just relocated to another town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
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 curious about the disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can one place vanish from existence?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
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.
What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. The heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.

- A 2012 paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that people blink about 15 to 20 times each minute, meaning, if you do the math, you spend about 10% of the time that you're awake blinking. (romper.com)

Secret societies and clubs in American history
The secret societies and clubs in American History are fascinating for 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 promote ideas that would otherwise be considered taboo. These ideas include anti-Semitism and racism. These groups also promoted political ideologies such communism, socialism, and other socialist ideas.
The Ku Klux Klan is America's most well-known organization. This group was established in 1865, after the Civil War had ended. Its purpose was protect white men against African Americans.
Other organizations were also formed during this period, including the Knights Templars, Freemasons and Odd Fellows. These organizations shared the same beliefs and goals.
Another interesting thing about secret societies is the fact that membership was often restricted to males. Some women were members of these secret societies. These women were Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger as well as Susan B Anthony.
The ideals shared by the secret societies mentioned earlier were not shared by all. The Order of Skull & Bones for instance was founded in 1832. Their goal, however, was to create an elite section within the United States.
