Over two hundred and fifty thousand individuals are reported missing every year, with estimates of actual missing persons cases that are left unreported pushing that total to more than an expected three hundred thousand cases annually. With that many reports, it's no wonder that a vast majority of these cases are left unsolved, however, every now and then there are a series of missing cases that emerge that are so peculiar, they become the subject of impossible to explain theories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. You've learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was an opportunity to improve his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Please take advantage of them.
You can then try again.
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
There is no easy answer to this question. However, there are three main points to consider when thinking about learning. First, we must realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We would always do what we want without worrying about if it was right or wrong.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. As time passes, we become smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Our culture is dependent on technology that allows us instant access to information. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
Globalization has transformed the way we see technology and knowledge. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All of these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. If you search online for advice on health, finance or business, you will find hundreds of thousands of sites offering information about topics such as cooking, travel, sport, or business. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. You won't find thousands of websites covering every subject. Instead, you'll only find a handful that deal with cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. A person buys a book because he expects that the author is knowledgeable enough about his topic to be able to give a concise and clear explanation. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
There are many areas of expertise. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
How do you become an expert on multiple subjects? The answer is easy: practice. You have to put in the time to learn. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
What can we learn from our mistakes?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. It will teach you something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. Don't worry about the little things, there is nothing wrong with making errors. All of us make mistakes.
While it's possible to feel embarrassed when you make a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should feel bad. It's the way you deal with your mistakes which matters most. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
There are no accidental inventions. Every single invention was made intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. Intentionally making something new. A solution to a problem. It makes someone's life easier.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What do people care about? What are they looking for?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
It is important to find out what your clients want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. Here's where invention really begins.
How to easily learn from the victories and mistakes of human history
It doesn't matter if history repeats itself. It takes very little time to learn from the mistakes made by human history. It's important to learn from the mistakes of human history and not repeat them.
It is important to learn from the past and to apply these lessons to your business.
You can do this by reading books on leadership and management strategies and case studies of successful companies that have been around for decades.
You can learn from their successes and avoid the pitfalls they fell into.
Also, you can find examples of bankrupt businesses. Why did they fail. What are the common threads among these failures. These insights can help prevent costly mistakes.
Finally, learn about the lives of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln (John D. Rockefeller), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), and Elon Musk. They had the most impressive resumes but none knew how managing people or running a company. You can learn from their mistakes if you want.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. It is easy to think about the things that worked well in the past today and find ways to make them work for you today.

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin get created?
Alexander Fleming found penicillin in a bacteria culture he had forgotten about and accidentally discovered it. He thought the mold might kill the bacteria, so he tried to find something that would destroy the mold.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. The discovery penicillin was one among the most significant medical advances ever. It saved millions of lives and changed the course of medicine forever.
Alexander Fleming did not know at first that his discovery would prove so significant. No one else knew the same. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming agreed to try.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. It saved the lives and limbs of many wounded soldiers during World War II. It also saved many lives for doctors after the war.
Dr. Fleming did not expect that his discovery would have such a profound impact. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. They are experiments performed for no particular reason.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. The discovery of penicillin is an example. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. Because someone has a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
