FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. This is why it 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. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is not good news for anyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. They've had the toil to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control the functions within your body?
The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They are also responsible for coordinating activity between various parts of the brain.
What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's 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.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
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.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just relocated to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
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. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I set out to find out.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What makes a town disappear? What makes a place disappear?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video examines both the history and current status.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of the trash ends up at incinerators and landfills. But, what happens to those dumpsters? Most of that trash is shipped out of the country. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. Mike Sexton is his nickname. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. He then reports back about what happens next.
Sexton states that he finds his work very fulfilling. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We see these big trucks coming through town, so we'll keep following them. "Sexton began following truckers almost 20 year ago.
"It's all I felt," he stated.
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. Sexton said that the man was searching for a place to store his stuff. "He drove down the street and saw this building. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were two huge roll-off containers there filled with stuff. He took out everything and began to fill up the truck. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were a bunch of old tires, rags, furniture, mattresses, boxes, bottles, cans, and whatever else. "It was a complete mess. But it had been cleaned out before he came along. There wasn't any trash anywhere."
What is the explanation? Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
This could happen hundreds of time per week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. The owner eventually abandons the vehicle.
However, trash is not the only problem on our planet.
Many of these tiny plastic pieces end up in landfills and incinerators. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.
Experts warn us that we may soon face an international food shortage if things don't change. Experts warn, "If you keep going like you're going," we could soon face a global food shortage. But most people don't seem to be worried, even though scientists are unanimous in warning us that the world is heading towards disaster.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
Heath Ledger gave up after a long career that was successful. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His friends and family struggled to accept the loss of his son, while the media blasted him openly.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He began to drink heavily and took drugs. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
