Here are 5 fascinating facts 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.
Are you familiar with the expressions, "I feel sluggish today", or "my head feels heavy"? These symptoms may be a sign of liver disease.
You may notice symptoms such as dark urine, yellowing skin and fatigue. These aren’t the only warning signs. These are not the only warning signs. Make an appointment immediately with your doctor if they occur.

What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. 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 an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
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 will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What is your most secretive community?
The answer to that question may shock you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They just moved to another city.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland, actually!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided that I would investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. But, here's why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They could go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. 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. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His family and close friends had difficulty accepting his death. The media took to him publically.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. The film was originally supposed to be released in this year's theaters, but it will not make its way into the cinemas until next year.
Heath was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
Although we don't think Heath should be allowed to return to the showbiz, However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
