Although he currently occupies the title of my snobbish books club, I've found he is capable enough of stifling my naysayer. He is therefore a prime candidate to my naysayer for the year award. This slacker will make a very happy camper. The slacker mentioned above is not the only one. He is currently being occupied by a bad-tempered slacker, making him a prime candidate to win my good ol’ time slacker award.
FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. We don't know the names. But here's why it 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. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. Which would mean fewer opportunities for the blacklisted filmmakers. They could go bankrupt.
This could mean 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.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
How does the brain control the functions of your body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. 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 the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. It is not what you see.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica, The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it means "land of ice." Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. Hence, the word antarctic.
Others believe that the name is a combination of the Greek words anti and tropos which mean against and turn. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is the driest, windiest of all continents. It is too cold to support trees, plants, and animals.
Yet, the frozen desert is alive with life.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. They are growing in size every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. That could cause massive flooding around the globe.
This is not necessarily bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
