FAQ
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that other organs and muscle functions work together, the brain sends messages. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. 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 composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. This causes the second neuron to fire too.
When a presynaptic nerve receives an impulse, neurotransmitter release takes place. The impulse travels along an synapse between the 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.
What is your most secretive community?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. 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 called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, 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 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 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.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How does one place go extinct?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines both the history and current status.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. Here's why this matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They would then go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. This is not good news for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of 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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. Two Academy Awards nominations went to Heath for his performance on Brokeback Mountain.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. However, he quickly grew too large. He started taking drugs and drinking heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was supposed to hit theaters this year. However, it won't until next year.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. He was actually arrested twice for drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice, however, if he had received some help before things got out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
