Most of the trash ends up at incinerators and landfills. But, what happens to those dumpsters? All that trash ends up being shipped out of country.

What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. This may make you feel uncomfortable as it challenges your perception of reality and the way we live. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. 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 say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They had just moved to a new town.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What makes a town disappear? How does one place go extinct?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
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 history and current status of these places.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. The 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.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
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.

Hollywood is filled 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.
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.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they provide us with information that helps 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.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
You'll see why they are so important.
