Despite the fact that my snobbish title book club is currently occupied with an egregiously misguided lazy slacker, he has proven to be more than capable of nipping my naysayer in its tracks. This makes him a great candidate for my naysayer in the year award. The above-mentioned slacker is sure to be a happy camper. The above-mentioned slacker may not be the only one in town. However, if you are a slacker in a bad mood and enjoy a good time, that's another story. The above mentioned slacker is currently occupied by a slacker in a bad mood, so he is a prime candidate for my good ol' time slacker of the year award.
FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isnβt public. The names are not known to us. Here's why this matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. That's bad for everyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This must be stopped before it happens again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
What is the most mysterious location on Earth?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
So let's explore how this remarkable destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
It is not known why Antarctica was called Antarctica. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe the name was derived from the Greek words tropos, which means turn, and anti, meaning against. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has always been a fascination for people.
It is the driest, windiest of all continents. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. Here are approximately 50% of all the animal and plant species in the world.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large amounts of ice to float above ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They continue to grow in size each year.
The Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60ft since 1960.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.
However, not all scientists believe this to be bad news. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
What is the most fascinating fact about the human body
Two eyes, two ears and two nostrils are part of our bodies. We also have four limbs: a mouth, nose, penis, and four limbs. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. The heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. 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 cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must flow in order for the wound 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.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What is your most secretive community?
The answer to that question may shock you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. According to the Bible, it was called the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They just moved to another city.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. 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. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
Nothing is more shocking than seeing someone famous for wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
Heath was not only an actor, but also directed and wrote films like A Knight's Tale and Monster's Ball.
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He eventually went to rehab and was clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. 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 was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. 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.
