Is It Really This Simple?
Getting Started
by Anne
1. Pick up a pen.
2. Write a few words on paper. Like this.
3. Write whatever comes into your head — words, images, sounds, babbling, nonsense, laughter, crazy thoughts, last night's dream, a shopping list ...
4. That's right — ANYTHING.
5. Keep on going. See what happens.
6. You're writing! Don't get dizzy ...
Fancy Equipment Not Required
by Anne
One of the things I love about writing is that it's very low-tech. You don't need a computer (although it's nice), or have to learn a special language, or buy fancy equipment that costs a lot of money.
If you are seized by inspiration, grab the nearest thing at hand. You can scribble on the margins of a newspaper, write on the back of your science homework, use an envelope (one of my favorites), or commandeer a napkin. When I was a teen, I wrote on my jeans. (Don't do this if you wear the hundred-dollar kind.)
The physical act of writing is very easy.
The challenging part is bringing your ideas into reality.
The Blank Piece of Paper
by Anne
It's normal to feel afraid or nervous when a blank piece of paper is giving you an intimidating glare. It looks at you coldly, and says, "You think you're a writer?" Suddenly you can't think or breathe. Your pencil slips through numb fingers and rolls under the bureau. You begin to stammer out apologies. "I didn't mean ... I don't know ... I can't ..." You don't know why you wanted to write in the first place. Maybe you'll try again tomorrow. Or next week. Or in five years. The mood just isn't right.
A blank piece of paper is a formidable opponent, but you can defeat it. Just stare the thing down. Refuse to be intimidated. Take a deep breath and write a word or two on the paper. Make that a sentence, a paragraph. Now you're in charge. Now you're writing.
Writers' Rule to Ignore or Adore? Write What You Know
by Anne
When I was fifteen years old, my mother, who is a very accomplished writer, gave me a piece of writing advice. She said that I should always write what I know — about the real things that I had experienced and seen.
It was a pretty good piece of advice, but since it came from my mother, and I was a rebellious teenager, I automatically questioned it. Why should I write what I know? I fumed. Was that the limit for writers? Didn't this advice leave a lot out?
It left out imaginary worlds, for example. It left out real, but unknown, times and places. It left out putting yourself in the shoes (and mind) of a very different person than you. I ended up by concluding that there was a lot to be said for writing about what you don't know.
There's no right or wrong here. For many people, "write what you know," is an excellent guide. If you want to stick with the familiar, keep your eyes and mind open. The best writers reveal the mystery in everyday reality.
If you prefer to go as far as your imagination will take you, keep a link to reality. In Tamora Pierce's fantasy classic, Alanna, The First Adventure, Alanna disguises herself as a boy so that she can train as a warrior. I love the fantasy elements in this book, but what really grabs me is its truth. What girl hasn't — at least once — felt that certain worlds are only open to boys? Alanna steps into a boy's life in order to fulfill an unusual destiny. It's a thrilling idea. Even the most distant worlds have familiar problems.
What Kind of a Writer Are You?
by Anne
Do you favor exciting plots, or complex characters? Are you interested in action or emotion or mood? Do you enjoy describing everything in the room, or do you prefer to write pages of dialogue? Do you want to write about things that you've seen and experienced, or do you love fantasy worlds? Do you prefer science or fiction? Do you like romance, comedy, mystery, or stories about real-life problems? Do you like all of the above, none of it, or your own unique mixture?
Decide for yourself what kind of writer you'd like to be. Or experiment until you find what you want.
Spilling Ink
by Anne
If you're afraid to start, or you hate every word you write, here's a foolproof fear-fighting exercise. Give yourself permission to write anything. That's right — anything. Spill some ink. Just babble on paper. Or write one sentence over and over. Or close your eyes and write. (Sometimes I take off my glasses so I won't see what I'm writing.) You may be writing absolute nonsense, but you are writing. Sooner or later, you'll start to think of something you really want to write about. Or maybe, buried in the pages of sludge, there's one tiny diamond.CHAPTER 2
section 2
Ugly First Drafts
Making a Mess
by Ellen
Before I started writing seriously, I was under the delusion that "real" writers sit down and write out the entire story in one nearly perfect, spectacularly clever draft. Oh, sure, maybe they would change a word or two, or rename one of their characters "Nathan" because his original name, "Jake," reminds them too much of their cousin Jake who belches the theme music to retro TV shows. But that's about it.
Hugely, profoundly, utterly wrong.
The truth of it is, professional writers have to rewrite their stories over and over (and over and over and over ... you get the picture) again in order to get them just right. I generally spend more time rewriting than writing the first draft. My first drafts are always ugly. Super sloppy. Lots of things don't make sense. Chapters are out of sequence; some of the dialogue is confusing. The manuscript is splattered with question marks and notes to myself.
During revision the plot may change, the sequence of events may be rearranged. New characters may appear while some existing characters disappear.
keep this in mind
Have you ever read a book and thought, "This is sooo good, I could never write as well as this!" Just keep in mind that the writer may have rewritten the book twenty times before she got it right. I revised my book SLOB about a dozen times, and Anne rewrote her book The Accidental Witch thirty times over a period of seven years before she got it just right.
This is your chance to play with your work, so have fun. Mess around. See what works best. Above all, never be afraid to change things.
If you are one of those writers who dreads rewriting or thinks of it as boring, look at it this way: You know when you think of the perfect thing to say to someone five minutes after they've left the room. Don't you hate that? Well, rewriting your story gives you the chance to say the perfect thing while that person (your reader) is still "in the room." And you will look spectacularly clever in the process.
the perfect page
I once met a woman who showed me a perfect page of writing. It was as good as anything I've ever read. I wanted to jump up and down and cheer as I read it. It was like reading the first page of an extraordinary novel. When I asked her if she was going to continue, she said no. She destroyed everything she wrote, she told me. Nothing measured up to her standards of perfection.
That one perfect page stands in my memory, cold and solitary, haunting me with its unfulfilled promise. She never developed her talent or shared it with the world, but what stories she might have written! If only she had had the courage to let herself make mistakes.
Whenever you feel that your writing isn't good enough, do try to make it better. But know that nothing — and no one — is perfect. Dare to write the imperfect page.CHAPTER 3
section 3
Showing Up On the Page
by Anne
Some writers know exactly what they want to say or write about. Others stumble on it by accident or luck. If you idly wait for inspiration, your ideas will dry up. But if you keep writing, sooner or later, inspiration will appear.
If you haven't found your ideas or inspiration yet, you have to wait. This can be frustrating, but don't quit! A lot of writing happens by deliberate accident. That means that while you work, something unexpectedly wonderful happens.
This happens to me quite often. I start work in a foul mood. I'd rather be cleaning toilets, or scrubbing floors with a toothbrush, or walking up a hill in the blazing sun, or something fun like that.
I sit down at my desk and start to write.
Often I'm pleasantly surprised. Instead of the unintelligible gibberish or lunatic ravings that I expect, I advance the story or even have a breakthrough.
"Eighty percent of success is showing up," Woody Allen said.
You have to show up on the page. Otherwise nothing will happen.
A Recipe for Mental Compost
by Anne
When I first discovered the idea of compost, I was so excited. No more throwing away fruit and vegetable scraps. No more waste; no more heavy garbage bags.
Instead, I dumped food scraps, rotten vegetables, and leaves onto a compost pile in the backyard. I wasn't very scientific about it, but nevertheless, months later, I had a rich, dark, loamy soil to spread on my garden. I called it my "gardener's gold."
If you want a rich, fertile soil for your imagination, you can prepare a mental compost. The scraps are your experiences, knowledge, observations, and memories. Nothing in your life is wasted — not even your worst moments! (In fact, they make some of the richest soil.)
Here are the ingredients for "writer's gold."
All of your embarrassing moments — the more humiliating the better. Have you ever dumped an entire tea tray with cups, saucers, milk, sugar, cookies, and of course, tea, in the lap of an important school visitor? I have. I turned this unforgettable event in my twelve-year-old life into a scene in one of my books.
Anything you feel very, very strongly about. I've always been fascinated by people who have to hide a part of themselves to survive. My fantasy novel, The Oxboy, explores this subject.
Small daily moments that capture your attention. Maybe you have a little sister who walks around with a pet mouse on her shoulders. I did! She's grown up now and still loves animals. I haven't put her in a book yet, but maybe I will some day.
The subjects that you know a lot about. Are you a cyclist? Have you knit a sweater (it doesn't matter if the finished item came down past your knees)? Do you know how to survive in the wilderness? Do you play computer or video games? Do you know how to fold napkins into swans? All these experiences can find their way into your writing.
What you've observed about your family and friends.
The news, television shows, YouTube clips, advice columns ...
Whatever makes you laugh or cry.
Your history: individual, family, neighborhood, town, country, world, universe ...
Your dreams.
In short, your entire life.
1. Throw it all on the mental compost pile.
2. Let it sit for a while. (Time will vary from one hour to twenty-five years.)
3. It may be very helpful to take notes, or keep a journal. But it's not essential.
4. Regularly turn over the material in your mind.
5. Spread it around in your stories. Let seeds sprout from it. You'll be amazed at how many ideas it will germinate.CHAPTER 4
section 4
Convincing Your Characters That They Are Alive
Choosing Your Characters
by Ellen
Think about your first day at school. You're looking around the classroom, scoping out potential friends. A certain person catches your eye. Maybe it's the fact that this person has a hole in his jeans and he's doodling a map of Idaho on his kneecap. Or maybe you like the way she boldly corrects the teacher's pronunciation of her last name. This person interests you, and you'd like to get to know him or her better.
I choose my characters the way I choose my friends. They interest me. I may even admire them in certain ways. They may not be perfect — in fact, they're more interesting if they aren't — but I definitely want to know them better. So I write about them.
Hmmm, You Look Familiar: Basing Your Character on Someone You Know
by Ellen
There's nothing wrong with basing your character on someone you know, providing you make the character different enough from the real person so that no one gets offended. You can change the character's hair color; give them large, round glasses; make them a different ethnicity; or give them a different life history. Or you may want to take only two or three of the real person's outstanding qualities (i.e., her almond-shaped brown eyes, her habit of tripping over her own feet, or her sarcastic sense of humor) and apply them to your character. Do this for your own sake as well as for the real person. If your character is too much like the real person, it will be hard for you to imagine him or her riding a yak through the Himalayas, if that's what you want this character to do in your story.
The biggest advantage to basing your main character on someone you know is that you may be able to bring your character to life fairly easily. For instance, you know the way the real person tilts his head when he asks a question or the way he snorts when he laughs. It will be easier to visualize your character since you know the real-life version!
danger, danger!
When you're writing stories, never ever reveal deep, dark secrets that your friend has told you in confidence. Being a writer gives you tremendous power, so use it carefully. If you don't believe me, readHarriet the Spy,by Louise Fitzhugh.
Baking Characters from Scratch
by Ellen
Another way to craft your characters is to create them entirely from your imagination. This is a lot like baking cookies from scratch versus baking from a mix. When you bake your characters from scratch, you start by gathering up the different qualities that you want your main character to have.
Here's an example.
5 cups of cocky attitude, sifted
2 cups of loyalty to friends
1 cup loathing of ketchup, wet socks, and a boy from summer camp named Richard
2 tablespoons of insecurity about big feet
1 teaspoon of a bad habit of biting nails till they bleed
One pinch of a shoe-shopping fetish (but just a pinch and no more, due to the difficulty of finding shoes for big feet)
Combine and bake at 350 degrees or until character is done.
Creating a Main Character for Your Ingenious Story Idea
by Ellen
Do you have a mind-blowingly brilliant idea for a story but no ideas for a main character? Sometimes when you have a great story idea, it's tempting to not pay as much attention to creating great characters for the story. The truth is, though, that no matter how terrific your story idea is, you need strong characters to keep readers' interest. Without a vivid, interesting, authentic main character, even the best story idea will fall flat.
You can certainly create a character to fit your ingenious story idea; just be sure to let him or her develop fully. For example, let's say you're dying to write about an abused horse that refuses to be tamed. You're probably going to want to create a main character who is able to tame that horse, right?
idea finder
If you are fresh out of ingenious ideas — or any ideas at all — check out Section 6, "Blackberries, Raspberries, and Story Ideas," on page 34.
You'll have to ask yourself what qualities that person should have. Maybe he'll be able to sympathize with the horse because he has been treated poorly too. Or maybe he'll have an incredible gift for "talking" to animals.
Truth or Dare: Getting to Know Your Character's Deep, Dark Secrets
by Ellen
Maybe it's the sugar rush from all the junk food or the fact that you get overtired and goofy, but people tend to tell each other all their deep, dark secrets at sleepover parties.
You need to know your characters' deep, dark secrets too, in order to convince your characters that they are alive. I know that sounds weird. I know you're supposed to convince your readers that your characters are alive, not the characters themselves. But if you take the time to get to know your characters well, they will start to think and act for themselves. You'll know this is happening when ideas unexpectedly pop into your head as you write. You'll suddenly know exactly what your character would say or how they would react to something. On the other hand, if you try and make the character do something they really wouldn't do, you might feel like your story is taking a wrong turn (see "Don't Be a Bully" in Section 7 on page 56).
One way to convince your characters that they are alive is to get really nosy. Find out everything you can about them. Find out what embarrasses them, what makes them laugh, what makes them cringe. Find out how your characters react to stressful situations.

David Hasselhoff is engaged to his Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts.
The 63-year-old revealed he asked Hayley, 36, to marry him with a romantic proposal during a beachside picnic in Malibu.
The Hollywood star, known as The Hoff, met Hayley when he was in the UK as a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
He told Hello! magazine: "I had a saying, 'You don't get married because you want to live with someone, you get married because you can't live without them'.
"I felt that way. I knew that I was really unhappy without her. I waited to propose because I thought I was too old for her."
Hayley recalled the emotional moment and said they were both in tears.
She said: "I genuinely had no idea he was going to do that. I'm still so overwhelmed."

Baywatch star David has jokingly proposed to her a few times during their five-year relationship.
"I thought he was just joking around at first. He's asked me before, but it was never for real," she recalled.
"Then he pulled out the ring. I cried so hard that he didn't get around to actually asking, 'Will you marry me?' until about 10 minutes later."
Hayley added that their 27-year age gap does not worry her.
"I don't want to miss out on being with someone I love because of what might happen down the line," she told Hello!
This will be David's third marriage. He has two daughters, Hayley and Taylor-Ann, from his previous marriage to actress Pamela Bach.

The latest approach for women's empowerment has been made by Smriti Irani recently on her Facebook when she shut up the mouth of Bihar's education minister Ashok Choudhary of the Congress party.
The story goes like this, a few days back Ashok Choudhary called Mrs. Irani 'Dear' in his Tweet
"Dear .@smritiirani ji, कभी राजनीति और भाषण से वक़्त मिले तो शिक्षा निति की तरफ भी ध्यान दें"
— Dr. Ashok Choudhary (@AshokChoudhaary) June 14, 2016
Mrs. Irani felt offended and replied him this way
@AshokChoudhaary mahilaon ko 'dear' keh ke kab se sambodhit karne lage Ashokji ?
— Smriti Z Irani (@smritiirani) June 14, 2016
The Twitteraties didn't like her over reaction and within a few hours, shut her up for the time being with negative accounts.
Recently her surprising post came on Facebook which rebelled about each and every problem of a woman's life.
Her this post was enough to shut up the mouth of her critics and even after a public apology from Ashok Choudhary, this topic has become a controversy with a hashtag on Twitter.

We cover some of the MANY paranormal tales associated with Bachelor's Grove Cemetery.
…but the YouTube Gods were not on our side, so we pick it up after getting cut off here.
This is the thrilling conclusion of Haunted Oscar Locations Pt. 1, which you can find here.
Roosevelt Hotel, 1924
The glamorous, though perhaps long and drawn-out, annual rite of passage known as the Academy Awards, checks in around three hours if we're lucky nowadays. The first ever awards only lasted 15 minutes. It was held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, which is just across the street from the Chinese Theater and down the road from the Pantages.
The Roosevelt was put up by Louis B. Meyer, Sid Grauman, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, the later two, of course, were Hollywood's first power couple (see picture to the right).
Hauntings here happen throughout the building, but especially at the pool area (which is one of my favorite places in all of Los Angeles… well, one of my favorite places in the world). The pool is set back from the streets, nestled between the main hotel building and a series of bungalows. This location is a hidden gem that's open to the public due to the poolside bar that caters to guests and curiosity-seekers, alike.
It's not uncommon for a security guard to see that somebody's down in the pool area after it's closed. A guard gets dispatched to kick out the after-hours guest, but when they arrive, there's nobody's there. So, he gets on his walkie-talkie to report it, only to hear back from a person in the control room, still watching on a monitor that, "No, they're still there… and they're standing next to you."
When I was doing the LA Hauntings tour, I had a hotel employee in the van with us who claimed that he himself has seen these spectral people on security cameras as well. It's noteworthy to point out that these cameras shoot in infrared, allowing for recoding after dark. Ghost hunters believe paranormal activity happens frequently in light spectrums that the human eye cannot observe, including Infrared. The same employee told us that it's not just one individual that's observed – there will be groups of phantom people hanging out poolside.
Thirteen floors up, the crack of the bat is heard on the rooftop. Babe Ruth used to spend some of his offseasons hanging out in Hollywood (pictured below in front of the Roosevelt). He allegedly had a batting cage installed on the roof and people apparently still hear the crack of the mighty Bambino's bat.
Montgomery Clift was in the Sinatra film "From Here to Eternity." In the film he had to play a bugle. This is not something he knew how to do, so he would have to practice. He was staying on the 9th floor of the Roosevelt and loudly practiced while pacing the hallway, likely annoying everyone in earshot. To this day, the front desk still gets complaints of horn playing coming from the hallways. Usually, only this phantom sound is observed, but apparently on one occasion his specter was sighted. He vanished by walking through a wall where a doorway used to be after tipping his cap to the witness.
I had the privilege of appearing on a couple of episodes of "Monumental Mysteries," which was a spin-off of the popular Travel Channel series "Mysteries at the Museum." The east coast-based production crew would come to LA and interview me if they were covering something unusual like a haunted Spanish Mission or odd UFO experiences. While setting up a shot, the producers asked me if the Roosevelt Hotel, where they were staying, was haunted. One producer talked about watching her closet door slowly open by itself. Not thinking too much of it, she closed the door and went into the bathroom to wash up. When she returned, the closet door was again open, but now the iron was sitting on her bed. We're talking about a heavy object somehow transporting itself to a new location, not just falling off a shelf. Predictably, when I asked what floor they were staying on, the answer was, "the 9th."
A lot of the best stories I know about haunted Los Angeles and Hollywood come from doing the tour when people on the tour share their own experiences. This one came before the tour even started. The clerk at the rental company where I rent the van picked up the van asked, "What are you renting this van for?"
When I told him about the tour, he said, "You go to the Roosevelt Hotel, right?" He obviously had a story to tell. He talked about checking in to the Roosevelt. Unpacking, he the closet door, revealing a maid standing inside, warmly smiling back. In an instant, she vanished.
The only rational reaction would be to hit your head on the ceiling while jumping out of your skin in fright. This is an interesting case to me because it shows how a paranormal experience can override rational thought and emotion. He claimed he felt very welcome, that it was a warm greeting. Whatever happy maid is still there, she is projecting a loving, positive feeling – a psychic impression. It's also a nice reminder that paranormal experiences, while they're always unexpected, they're not always negative. One has to wonder if this helpful maid was the one to took out the iron for the "Monumental Mysteries" producer.
None other than Marilyn Monroe, probably Hollywood's most sighted female ghost, was seen at the Roosevelt, but not in the most conventional way. Her ghost isn't seen directly, but as a reflection in her very own mirror. Marilyn stayed here for a time and had a large mirror, about the size of a doorway, installed in her room. She would rehearse the next days' scenes into it, being able to see, from head to toe, how she would appear on camera. After countless hours of emoting into this inanimate object, perhaps she left some deeper imprint on it. For a time, the mirror was placed in a second floor lobby, allowing anyone a chance to try to catch a glimpse of the blonde bombshell (the hotel even had a sense of humor about it, placing a cardboard cut-out of Marilyn in the distance for a good photo op). In 2008, the mirror was placed into storage for safekeeping while some construction took place. A decade later and the mirror has still not reemerged. Word around town is that Lindsay Lohan purchased the mirror. Hopefully it's in a safe place, wherever it is.
As an interesting side note, as mentioned in part one of this article, Marilyn had her hair dyed blonds in the salon at the haunted Gaylord Hotel and her first photo shoot as a blond took place here at the Roosevelt, poolside, for a sunscreen lotion print ad.
Not every haunting at this location is a positive one. At one point, an employee of the Cinegrill, one of the Roosevelt's bars, was on the tour. He told me that he was talking to some security guards who heard screaming coming from a hallway. Looking at the security tapes, they saw one of the maid staff seemingly get thrown out of a room, hitting the wall opposite the doorway. She ran, screaming down the hall. As these stories tend to go, she left the premises, never to return and, unfortunately, never telling her story.
What in the world happened? Is that story even true? We won't know, but I'm just passing this interesting, spooky story along to you, to create a timestamp of the first negative story about this location that I've ever heard.
Finally, our last story is an Oscar story! Apparently people in the Blossom Ballroom, which held the first-ever Oscar Award ceremony, feel a constant cold spot in the area where the podium stood. Unlike other stories about cold spots, where it comes and it goes, this oddity is focused in one spot all the time and it's there almost constantly. I wonder if somebody's still giving their award acceptance speech, continually reliving the biggest highlight of their career. Some wonder if the cold spot is some some sort of a doorway that's allowing for all this energy to be coming and going, allowing all these entities to continually make their presence known.
Outside of Linda Vista Hospital, which is now an off-limits, private location, I believe the Roosevelt is the most haunted building in all Los Angeles and a must visit, whether you're a local or just passing through town like to many a soul have done in the past.
At a glance:
I've made countless trips across the California and Arizona desert, entering and leaving Los Angeles. On one of these trips, I ended up taking a very southern route that passed me through Yuma, Arizona. Even just briefly seeing the micro city from Interstate 8, I was immediately taken by its beauty. Trains traversed the Colorado River via aged bridges, huge sand dunes formed the horizon, surrounding the historic western town.
I thought to myself immediately, "I need to find a haunted location here and get back as soon as I can." To my surprise, the work was done for me pretty quickly. Turning on an episode of "Ghost Adventures," I could tell from the first establishing shot, "They're in Yuma!" Sure enough, the episode was about the Yuma Territorial Prison (season 12, episode 8), a captivating, haunted structure that's 36 years older than the state of Arizona itself.
Soon, I was making my own pilgrimage, heading south from Los Angeles and tip-toeing along the US/Mexico border to make my way to the wild west era prison.
The Yuma Territorial Prison (now operated by the State Park system of Arizona) is open year-round to visitors for a minimal fee (check out the operating hours prior to your visit here: http://www.yumaprison.org/hours-fees-parking.html).
The site is intimate. You are given a brochure at the visitor's center and told to enjoy. And with that, you are off! The prison was surprisingly well attended considering 1) it's Yuma and 2) it was a typical day, with temperatures reaching well into the triple digits. That said, there was still plenty of opportunities to explore the grounds alone as most visitors spent their time indoors. The main yard looks out over a canal and to the site of another place that merits future investigations – the location of a revolt of the Yuma/Quechan tribe that resulted in the destruction of two missions and the death of every European male, including the mission's leader, Padre Graces, in 1781.
It's hard not to think of the site of a failed Native American revolt that I investigated in Santa Barbara, which yielded the most drastic cold spot I'd ever personally recorded:
The prison, colorfully, and accurately, nicknamed "Hellhole Prison," saw a tremendous amount of history and colorful characters pass through it's doors despite only being in operation for 33 years (1876-1909). Those very first inmates were put to work immediately, helping complete construction of their still unfinished new home.
The most iconic feature of the prison is the solitary confinement cell, aka "The Dark Cell." Prisoners found themselves confined within a strap iron cage, in the middle of this this dark cell. The only light came from a small ventilation pipe directly overhead. It was not uncommon for a prisoner to find themselves in the dark cell multiple times. Just check out the rap sheet for attempted murderer AA Stewart, who was sentenced for 4 days for insulting an officer, then another 10 days for disobeying an officer and threatening him. One might think spending a full month in solitary after an escape attempt would break his will, but the rebel had spirit, escaping and disappearing into the desert two months later.
Today, there is talk of a spirit of a child haunting the dark call. In addition to people not feeling alone there, there are reports of being touched by a small, cold hand. See a short video "tour" of the cell at AZCentral here: http://azc.cc/1RS0Nwv
The most infamous single incident at the prison happened in 1887 during an attempted prison escape that left four prisoners dead, three wounded and the superintendent of the prison suffering from multiple wounds from a butcher's knife that were so severe, the man, Thomas Gates, eventually committed suicide to escape the pain. A detailed step-by-step retelling of the escape attempt can be found here: http://westernamericana2.blogspot.com/2010/06/yuma-territorial-prison-1875-1909-by.html along with a write-up of one of the more famous prisoners, "Buckskin Frank Leslie," who was once a co-worker of Wyatt Earp at the Oriental Saloon in Tombstone.
Present day, the scene of the blood bath is around the main, green, courtyard. One can even stand in the guard tower, in the footprints where sharp shooter Benjamin Hartlee took aim and gunned down attempted escapees Villa, Lopez, Bustamante, Vasquez. Likewise, you can stand in front of the sallyport where Gates was held at knife point as the skirmish unfolded around him. It was from here that Gates gave the signal to the guard tower to open fire.
For as much as the prison was considered harsh, largely due to the landscape, climate and predatory wildlife of the area, it was actually quite comfortable for the day. The building even had hydroelectric electricity by 1884, a full nine years before people saw streetlights for the first time at Chicago's 1893 world's fair.
An interesting blurb in the "Cochise Review" (as re-reported by the "Phoenix Herald") in 1900 even mentions how successful the prison was at helping criminals rehabilitate from "the morphine habit," citing the positive change felt by famed female stagecoach robber Pearl Heart.
Indeed, the prison did house a number of the most ruthless female prisoners one could dream up including 16 year-old Maria Moreno, who killed her younger brother with a shotgun blast to the face over an insult and Elena Estrada, who literally cut out her lover's heart when she caught him cheating.
We see the energy over 3,000 inmates brought into the prison over the years, the hardships they experienced on site and we haven't even mentioned that over 100 inmates died in prison due to illness (mostly tuberculosis) or other non-violent maladies. You can easily imagine the location being haunted.
I casually asked a very official-looking state employee if he believed in the tales of the site being haunted. He was almost angry at how casually I asked the question. "I hear voices and shouts…. hear my name called to me almost every night when I'm working here alone." It's so often that employees of a haunted site, or someone in an official or authoritarian position, will downplay paranormal claims or experiences. It also comes off suspicious to me if an employee is glamorizing the haunted history of a site, as if it's part of their marketing pitch. In this case, it was neither of those things. It was matter of fact – this place is actively haunted
The Ghost Adventures team caught a particularly engaging vision of a full band performing on stage in the on-site theater. This was captured live by the Infrared, body-mapping Kinect camera. While what they caught was jaw-dropping and the figures truly seemed to interact with the commands the team was giving, it should be noted that the theater was a recent addition, a room built specifically for tourists to watch an informational video. While this doesn't mean the room can't be haunted, prisoners were not performing on this stage in the late 1800s/early 1900s, as the show insinuates.
The nearby 115-body cemetery lacks any kind of individual grave markers, merely piles of rock over each body. There isn't even a plaque listing the names. One has to wonder if this lack of individual recognition is leading some of the dead to continue to make their presence known. That alone, coupled with the residual hauntings that are undoubtedly continue at this historic prison, leads this place to be something of a paranormal gold mine. Phantom talking throughout the cell blocks, the metal clanging sounds of cell doors opening and closing by themselves are not uncommon occurrences.
The prison's history continued after being a correctional institution. The campus become Yuma's High School, a fact they continue to celebrate today with a wonderfully themed school shield and their team name being the Yuma Criminals. Then, one of the structures was converted into the county hospital. Later, during the market crash, countless homeless persons relocated here to live. So, even after the prisoner's had moved out, there was still ample possibility for "new" hauntings to take hold.
A visit to the Yuma Territorial Prison is a can't miss adventure for anyone interested in history, the wild west or haunted locations. It should also be noted that the women's cells were destroyed in 1923 when the Southern Pacific Railroad expanded into the area. I wouldn't at all be surprised if there are additional hauntings here, just outside of the current walls.
Barney's Beanery has a special place in Hollywood and Rock 'n Roll history. A loud restaurant with walls full of signs, memorabilia, lunch boxes, and car parts, Barney's has earned its reputation as a place where celebrities can go to blend in or stand out. The well worn bar stools have been graced by Marilyn Monroe and peed upon by Jim Morrison.
In 1920 John "Barney" Anthony decided to open up a restaurant using the chili recipe he perfected as a navy cook during World War I. In 1927 Barney's relocated to a new location alongside famous route 66 and the legend was born! The Beanery still stands and Anthony's chili remains a menu staple!
Barney's Beanery has seen thousands of people walk through its doors, from the classy Rita Hayworth, to the Rebel Without A Cause star himself, James Dean. Rumor his it that Barney's was the site of the last supper for Dean, the night before his tragic accident.
The outlandish writer/director, Quentin Tarantino, supposedly wrote Pulp Fiction while sitting at one of the booths. Perhaps the same booth that Janis Joplin ate her last meal, before heading back to the Landmark Motor Hotel where she was staying. The iconic voice was a regular at the Beanery before her heroin and booze addiction ended her life on October 4th, 1970.
Around the same time as Joplin, another rock and roll Idol used Barney's as his local watering hole. Jim Morrison of The Doors would come in to drink after recording over at The Doors Workshop just a bit father down Santa Monica Blvd. That is, until one night in the mid-1960s when Morrison was inspired to stand on the bar and relieve himself. The decadent singer was immediately escorted out and not welcomed back. However, now there is a plaque on the bar honoring the Beanery's connection to Morrison, installed after Morrison's sudden death in France in 1971.
Barney's Beanery, like many a well-loved bar before it, is not without it's ghosts, be they passed on patrons or something else entirely. The staff is friendly and even open to sharing a few stories if it's not too busy.
One of the Beanery's local spooks is an entity known as "The Man in Black." With a description to match his name, the spectre is often seen standing by the ladies restroom, which at one point in time was part of a gambling and billiards room. Some people associate this Man in Black with a 1973 murder that took place in the restaurant. On September 15th of that year 25 year-old Leonard Taylor shot and killed Robert Rush, the 34 year-old bartender, over a game of pool. This documented murder has led to the belief that The Man in Black is Rush's spirit, still watching over games.
Female employees at this restaurant will feel a touch on their back as if someone is trying to walk behind them, only to turn and realize the walkway is empty. It is worth noting that among the famous patrons that once frequented this establishment is Erroll Flynn, who is as remembered for his acting work as he is for his large sexual appetite. The mischievous spirits at Barney's Beanery are known to pull ponytails, and push open the swinging kitchen doors so that they rock wildly on their hinges. Occasionally the staff has heard a great "whooshing' sound, almost like a strong wind, indoors, without even a breeze.
With almost 100 years of history under its belt, Barney's Beanery has seen just about everything. It is no surprise that it is home to some paranormal entities as well. Even if you don't believe the ghost stories, one thing is for certain, if you want to see a Hollywood staple and love a busy atmosphere, Barney's is a MUST! The history isn't just printed on the back of the menu, it's hanging on the walls, and felt in every inch of the building.

A couple of days ago I was in a discussion with a person who contended that the Muller special investigation should be ended because it hasn't resulted in any evidence of wrongdoing. This claimed, in spite of a couple dozen indictments and several guilty pleas.
The Muller investigation began on May 17, 2017, so it is not yet two-years-old. How does that compare to other special prosecutor investigations? I did a little Googling and came up with the following:
- The Samuel Pierce influence peddling during the first Bush presidency took almost 8 1/2 years.
- The Whitewater Investigation during the Clinton administration took about 7 years.
- The Henry Cisnero perjury investigation of the Clinton era went on for 9 years.
- It took 3 years to conclude the Valerie Plame investigation during the G.W.B. years.
So, in light of these (and there are more), Muller is advancing relatively fast. The claim that there's no evidence of wrongdoing is bogus. Given the number of indictments and guilty pleas, plus Muller's ability to contain leaks simply means none of us really knows what evidence exists. We can make no judgments until the prosecutor says he's finished and issues his report.
To think otherwise is simply to admit you're accepting the word of paid mouthpieces like Rudi Guiliani.

THE GOVERNMENT launched a new website which provides comprehensive statistics data about the development cooperation of Slovakia. This is another step towards more transparency and confirmation of its membership in the donors' community, the TASR newswire reported on November 19, 2014.
Users can obtain information regarding the bilateral and multilateral development cooperation based on territory and sector criteria, as well as about specific projects Slovakia has carried out in partner countries and also view their location. The published information is based on statistics data from the information system for registering and showing the development assistance which is connected to the information system of Slovakia, TASR wrote.
Slovakdev.sk is the result of cooperation between the Finance and Foreign Affairs Ministries as well as a private company which focuses on IT. It currently only provides information about the official development assistance in 2013. The ambition is to also publish information about development assistance, to which countries it is sent, including the money which is allocated by Slovak NGOs and the private sector, TASR reported.

Summary[edit | edit source]
The Vestroga Hub Foundation was founded and created by TheMightyF0x as a NMS Hub. The civilization was located in the Vestroga Nebula, a tree-shaped region. The civilization also maintains the branch regions of the Vestroga Tree.
The civilization was focused on documentation / sharing content, and had an excellent community. Various NMS players like NMS YouTuber Nex's World were members of the Vestroga Hub community. Members of the community, or people on their way to the Vestroga Hub, were known as Vestrogans.
In November 2017 the Vestroga Hub was declared to be abandoned by TheMightyF0x in an announcement posted to the United Federation of Travelers subreddit. This announcement came in the aftermath of the Vestroga Hub War .
In January of 2019 there were talks of the Vestroga Hub being revived however after backlash from former Vestroga members steps were taken to prevent conflict and those plans never came to fruition. The Vestroga Hub remains abandoned.
Benefits[edit | edit source]
- Documentation - Clearly locate desirable ships, multitools, freighters, and technology; fascinating flora and fauna; useful resources; and much more. Contribute with the knowledge that you're part of a semi-scientific community and helping other Vestrogans.
- Multiplayer Elements - the Vestroga Hub is a highly/recommend location for multiplayer interactions, whether that means seeing other players ("Glitches" / floating orbs), player bases, a variety of Communications Stations, or just frequently coming across discovered systems. Community Farms allow players easy access to valuable and/or useful resources.

Arrival[edit | edit source]
Vestroga Hub Census[edit | edit source]
Upon arrival, the first thing you should do is sign up for the Vestroga Hub Census, for the following reasons:
- Gives the Vestroga Hub staff an accurate idea of the size of the civilization.
- Allows other players to more easily locate your home base, and what game mode it's on (however, you can omit that info if you don't want a lot of visitors).
- Allows people to check which platform you're on (can be useful if you post something on the Subreddit, for example, and they're wondering if it's on PC or PS4).
Naming Convention[edit | edit source]
The Vestroga Hub follows a series of guidelines when it comes to naming systems and planets.
- see the Vestroga Hub Naming Convention for naming guidelines.
Regions Occupied[edit | edit source]

Alliances[edit | edit source]
Embassy Systems[edit | edit source]
Embassy Systems are single systems claimed by the Vestroga Hub in another civilization's space. Embassy systems have a few purposes:
- Dedicated teleportation point between that civilization and the Vestroga Hub for whoever claims the system, or anyone else who makes the journey from the Vestroga Hub to the Embassy.
- Dedicated location for members of both civilizations (Vestroga Hub and native civilizations) to leave Communications Stations.
- Display of friendship and respect in making the (usually long) journey from the Vestroga Hub to the native civilization.
The names for embassies attempt to use local naming conventions but make it clear that it is a Vestroga Hub Embassy System.

AstraZeneca Needs R&D Magic
Exanta and Crestor Setbacks
LONDON -- Next week, Sir Tom McKillop, chief executive of drug maker AstraZeneca PLC, will have to pull a large rabbit out his research-and-development hat.
After a long run with a successful growth strategy and being a hit with investors, AstraZeneca has endured two big setbacks in recent months and needs to restore investor confidence by unveiling new offerings in its drug-development pipeline. Sir Tom will have a chance to do that Oct. 6 when he lifts the lid on the company's recent progress in research and development....

EMC collaborates with BMC
EMC has signed a global collaboration agreement with enterprise management firm, BMC Software. Under the terms of the deal, EMC has acquired rights to BMC's Patrol Storage Manager software. BMC, which focuses on the management of business services and customer requirements, will resell EMC's ControlCenter products as its exclusive storage resource management offering. "It is a great opportunity for us," EMC product marketing manager, Abie Golbart, said. "For an independent software provider to look at our software products and take the decision to become a reseller vindicates the open storage software decision we took a couple of years ago." He said a number of EMC hardware partners already resold its software components.
Earnings warnings roil software sector
Citing purchasing delays and the troubled economy, a flurry of software vendors have already warned that the numbers will be grim when they release financial results from the quarter ended June 30. In the particularly hard-hit enterprise application integration (EAI) sector, this across-the-board shakiness reflects the deeper problems of a market that's likely to consolidate within the next few months. While PeopleSoft unexpectedly lived up to earlier forecasts despite pressure from Oracle's hostile takeover bid, fellow enterprise applications maker Siebel Systems warned for the second quarter in a row that it will miss its earlier guidance. Systems management software developer, BMC Software, also fell short of expectations for its most recent quarter, as did all four of the major pure-play EAI vendors – Tibco Software, WebMethods, SeeBeyond Technology and Vitria Technology.

So, what is a panic attack?
I feel like this term is thrown around a lot without a lot of context. It's become a phrase that people use like "You almost gave me a heart attack," or "You scared the s#*t out of me." Generally, those things didn't actually happen, they're just an expression.
However, much like a heart attack, a panic attack is a very real concern for some.
Panic attacks come from one of the five basic emotional responses that we feel as humans. The five are fear (responsible for panic attacks; more on that later), happiness, anger, sadness, and shame. Sound familiar? Maybe a certain Pixar film?
Fear is the origin of anxiety, which is not a bad thing. When we feel anxious, it's because we are in a situation in which we are afraid of something. It goes back to our ancestors who used anxiety as a tool for survival. Feeling anxiety meant that there was a general feeling of unease forcing your body to be on alert for enemies or predators. That instinct, the threatened feeling, has continued on as we have evolved for the same reason. It's why we cross the street is we are alone and see a group walking toward us and why we care what the delivery guys thinks when he arrives at your house with enough Chinese food for four but it's really all for you.
The problem with anxiety is when it gets out of control and that heightened sense of awareness is felt in most situations. An intense and debilitating episode of this feeling is a panic attack.
Your entire body becomes so aware and fearful that you lose control over the most basic instincts. Your breathing becomes shallow, your vision becomes impaired, and you find yourself begging for something to save you from this feeling.
While having a counselor right there when you are having a panic attack is the most ideal situation, life doesn't always work like that. A counselor can however help you work through these anxieties in session and provide tools for helping with attacks in the future.
Personally, my favorite tool, mostly because it's easy to remember, is anchoring yourself in your environment when you start to get overwhelmed. This can be used in any situation where you are feeling anxious of course. You don't have to be in the middle of a panic attack! To do this exercise, just remember your five senses and count them back.
Find five things you can see and identify them
Feel four things with your hands or feet and concentrate on them
Listen for three things you can hear
Sniff for two things you can smell
Stop and think about what you taste in your mouth
These methods are not fail proof. Yes, it is an exercise to help during a panic attack, but it is not a cure for them. Same goes for run of the mill anxiety. If you are feeling anxiety without a definitive sources or if you feel your anxiety levels are more than what they should be, seek help from a counselor. You are not alone in feeling this way and a counselor can help immensely with navigating through these feelings.

US Financial system
First-time small enterprise house owners often are chary of unsecured begin up loans. Find out how Security First Merchant Companies and its Strategic Partnership can present your company with the customized acquisition financing it needs to grow. Whereas most conventionally-mortgaged properties find yourself going by Fannie, Freddie or Ginnie Mae's sale process, properties which have loans held by native banks or non-public lenders have a much much less predictable sale process.
Invoices could also be outstanding and lenders will advance money against such excellent bill, which, when paid, are credited to the borrower with the lender taking back the amount he superior plus costs. Such enterprise loans for small companies are supreme.
One has to place together a set of paperwork, something like a challenge report and then method regular lenders like banks. Some companies get turned down for small enterprise loans, as a result of the homeowners aren't prepared. Even if the APR is larger than the one for secured loans, it offers a lifeline and a chance to improve credit standing and prosper.
Small enterprise owners are paying lots much less to borrow cash now than they did three many years ago. These small business loans might have much less restrictive necessities, enabling the small enterprise to secure the funds. Massive banks are stepping up to the plate for small enterprise after almost 6 years of kicking them to the curb.
Debtors may even take a look at numerous other options if they don't seem to be in speedy and dire want of cash from business lending organizations. Depending on the soundness of the business, the credit historical past and several different factors the maximum quantity of mortgage supplied is set.
Some businesses are simply too new to have established any credit score historical past. Cash movement often is the lifeblood of a small enterprise, but the skill to create correct projections and forecasts for what you are promoting is what moves it forward. Improve productivity: Constructing efficiencies in what you are promoting or discovering new methods to generate income could be sound strategies for growing money flow.

Power to the People
On Machiavelli's The Prince
by Kate Tandberg
Any discussion of The Prince inevitably runs into the problem of Machiavelli's true intention and beliefs. The purpose of this essay is not to understand why The Prince was written, but to understand what the role of the People is within it, whatever Machiavelli's personal conviction may have been.
Where did Plato and Galileo search for truth?
On Plato and Galileo
By Archie Stapleton
Galileo literally gazes at the sun until he is blind, while Plato looks into his mind at a metaphorical sun, revealing the primary distinction between them in their search for epistemic and metaphysical truth. For Plato and Galilei, in the realm of epistemology, the distinction between inward and outward is evident, while in the metaphysical arguments the lines are blurred beyond recognition.

Sightseeing is all fine and dandy but we all need to let the inner bohemian roam now and then, so why not kill two flies with one blow? You can visit some truly amazing destination while you satiate your deep need for gourmet food, nice drinks, and quality parties.
Naturally, "a party" is a broad notion, from wild rave pits at festivals to slow jazz nights in a small club. With that diversity of entertainment in mind, here are some of the most promising bohemian holiday places to visit in 2020.
Belgrade, Serbia
In search of bohemian adventures, individuals from all around the globe flock to the heart of Europe and pick an array of destinations between Munich in the north and Belgrade in the south, but that southernmost destination is what piques the interest of many travelers these days.
What surprises most people is how big Belgrade is. The architecture is insanely diverse and it covers everything from baroque-inflected buildings (churches are particular highlights) to monolithic residential buildings that represent the highlight of brutalism of the socialist era.
However, the city is mostly renowned for its wild and rich nightlife along the coastline of Danube. The rafts along the riverside are synonymous—to residents and visitors alike—with fully-unleashed barely-regulated partying. Plan your clothing and jewelry right and put on accessories that can easily serve as daily and nightly outfits. You'll probably get swept up in the alluring rhythm of the city.
The city also has a wonderful cultural hallmark of bohemian culture—the famed Skadarlija quarter. As you stroll down the street of historically preserved tavern fronts, you'll feel transported through time to a simpler age when people gathered in respectful and dubious establishments for a tall glass of wine after work.
Kauai, Hawaii
Kauai is a hidden gem of an island on the south-western tip of the archipelago. This is a go-to place for bohemians in search of absolute relaxation, especially during springtime.
If you ask anyone that had visited Kauai, they'll laud the island as a yoga-central, an eco-friendly paradise with pristine beaches and nice food. The secret of its impeccable appearance is the particular focus of residents on environmental preservation. Plastic bags are completely banned and there are strict limitations when it comes to urban development.
However, this is not to say that you cannot have a nice time on Kauai. After all, there are over 60 beaches at your disposal as well as numerous food options.
Yes, you can relish in the rich tastes of a Hawaiian kitchen, but there are also Chinese, Japanese and even Portuguese options if you yearn for a culinary adventure as well. Kauai also has chocolate farm tours, which is a sinfully delish adventure in and of itself.
Cape MacLear, Malawi
Have you ever heard of Lake Malawi, Africa's third-largest and second deepest inland body of water? Chembe, also known as Cape MacLear, is a township on the Nankumba Peninsula, which extends into the waters of the enormous lake on its southernmost tip. As a bohemian destination, the hotspot is a superb mix of hedonistic services and natural splendor. This is a destination for backpackers that feel like wayward spirits on a search for transcendental beauty of life and adventure.
The destination boasts everything a traveler in search of enjoyment needs—top-notch restaurants, jolly bars, as well as incredible guesthouses and lodges. Beyond the regular feast for the senses offered by these familiar highlights, there is a whole range of exciting activities to partake in.
Water-bound escapades await those that enjoy boat cruises, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving, but there are also ample opportunities all around for tranquil hiking adventures as well.
Ko Phangan, Thailand
The Gulf of Thailand hides many bohemian secrets, but if you'd be forced to pick one, just as an amuse-bouche for your future local endeavors, look no further than Ko Phanhan. The small island is a notable spot on the epic Hippy Trail due to the origin of a hotspot which has now become the stuff of legend.
Around 40 years ago, several vagabond travelers decided to rest on a Ko Phanhan during the full moon, and they started playing music for their amusement. The tradition caught on, and the number of people that visited every year only increased until it turned into a full-fledged event
The Full Moon Party is one of the leading events in the region now, and it has everything a bohemian traveler requires for endless nights of joyful music, adrenaline-pumping parties, night-swimming, glow sticks, greasy food, the whole movable feast.
These are by no means unknown destinations. Rather, they are rarely sought gems that have that special appeal, a unique quality and atmosphere that only bohemians know how to savor. They are not about packet tourist traps with buzzing individuals armed with selfie sticks. They are perfect destinations for people that love to stop now and then and savor every hedonistic aspect, texture, scent, and patina of a destination.

No longer Alone Again - Alyssa Reid plays The Game & announces 2012 UK Tour Dates
Posted: 10th February 2012
Due to promotional commitments, Alyssa Reid
's UK tour has been postponed. New dates will be announced soon. Meanwhile, please keep hold of your tickets for the rescheduled shows.
Canadian youth talent competitions might not be the most-watched shows in the UK (mainly due to reception problems), but The Next Star is still regarded as a talent hot-bed in its own country and its own right. With no sign of Mr Cowell berating hopefuls for doing so much as breathe or smile, YTV's version of Britain's Got Talent is aimed at a Top 6 gaggle of 10 to 15 year old wannabees, whittled down from over 4000 applicants with the promise of a single released by each of them. The songs are gathered onto a compilation album, the most recent of which hit the top of the iTunes Chart and gave the various artists considerable media exposure.
One such beneficiary was young Alyssa Reid who was also a triumphant prodigy with a coveted Top 6 deal. But it was her debut-single 'Alone Again' that garnered the attentions of the public, both Canadian and British, racking up over 40 weeks on her homeland singles listings. Not bad for a then 17 year old. The trouble is, what do you do after reaching those giddy heights at such a young age? Why, you put together an entire album of bouncy pop and electro tunes and call it 'The Game'.
Released in Canada last summer, the debut album has performed modestly enough and, with a second single (the title track) under her belt, Reid is looking further afield for inspiration and sales. To this end, she's announced a 2012 UK tour for April. First stop is London on the 11th, followed by Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and more until concluding in Bristol on 19th April. Tickets for those first four shows went on sale this morning, with the remaining final trio hitting the servers at midday tomorrow (Saturday). Prices start at just £8 for regionals and a tenner for London's Borderline (a small venue which is bound to sell out fast).
Tour postponed
Promotional commitments have meant that the 2012 UK tour has had to be postponed. New dates will be announced soon. Meanwhile, please keep hold of your tickets for the rescheduled shows.

Gore's global warming doc wins Oscar
Associated Press - Feb 25, 2007 09:12pm(PST)
LOS ANGELES - "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary that turned former vice president Al Gore's power-point presentation on global warming into an engaging and entertaining film, won the Oscar Sunday night.
The best-documentary win was a triumph for Gore, who has kept a sense of humor about his loss in the 2000 election that was decided in George W. Bush's favor by a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
"I am Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States of America," Gore says in the film, repeating a line he has used often.
Sunday, Gore used the Oscar win not to further his political career but to boost his campaign to find solutions for global warming and other environmental problems.
"My fellow Americans," Gore said to laughter from the crowd. "People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started with the possible will to act. That's a renewable resource. Let's renew it."
Earlier in the evening, Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio took the stage to unveil a series of efforts the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took to make this year's awards more environmentally friendly.
Pressed by DiCaprio about any other major announcement he might like to make, the former vice president pulled out a statement.
"My fellow Americans, I'm going to take this opportunity right here and now, to formally announce my intentions to ..." Gore said before the orchestra broke in and he walked off, arm-in-arm and laughing, with DiCaprio.
Backstage, Gore put speculation to rest, saying "I do not have plans to become a candidate for office again."
Instead, Gore said he was dedicating all his efforts to pressuring governments to act on climate-crisis issues.
"It is the overriding world challenge of our time," Gore said. "I really hope the decision by the academy to honor the work by director Davis Guggenheim and these producers will convince people who did not go see it before to see the movie and learn about the climate crisis and become a part of the solution."

The economic team of the National Movement Simeon II, led by the newly appointed Deputy Premier and Minister of Economy Nikolai Vassilev and the Minister of Finance Milen Velchev announced their determination to float an issue of Bulgarian eurobonds on international financial markets. The initiative for such an issue was taken bach in 1998 by the cabinet of ex prime minister Ivan Kostov. His government, howeevr, did not resort to that kind of financing as it managed to ensure sufficient foreign investment and cheap long-term credits to service the State's foreign liabilities. According to the former deputy minister of finance Plamen Oresharski, the optimal parameters of such an issue are 10-year eurobonds of a nominal size of EUR250-300MN. Mr Oresharski believes that at these conditions Bulgaria could sell on the foreign markets securities, paying an acceptable annual interest on them - about 9 per cent.
However, the intentions of Deputy PM and Economic Minister Nikolai Vassilev and of his colleague - the financier Milen Velchev - are of much larger dimensions. They do not conceal that they are considering a restructuring of the foreign debt, which is connected with launching considerable amounts of eurobond issues on the international markets. The money from their sale will be spent on payment of some of Bulgaria's current liabilities to international financial institutions or to the Paris Club. The new ministers' plans also include repurchase of some of our Brady bonds. According to some financiers, however, such an operation is quite risky. In an interview for the BANKER weekly Plamen Oresharski said that the aggregate amount of the expenses for the purchase of the discount bonds would exceed USD900MN. That amount should be supplied by selling Bulgarian eurobonds on the international markets.
If the repayment term of the new securities is at least 10 years, the annual interest rate on them will not be less than 12 per cent. And, currently we are paying annually less than 5% on Bradies. There also purely strategic reasons for not recommending such a restructuring within the next one or two years, the former deputy finance minister notes.
According to him, a large-scale operation for restructuring Bulgaria's foreign debt might cost quite a lot to the country. Foreign banks, however, are eagerly expecting the new Government to follow a more aggressive policy on the international markets. It is not a secret that the bank which is entrusted to market the Bulgarian issue of eurobonds will get sizable commissions for for its services.
Mr Oresharski recommended the new Finance Minister to approach conservatively the management of the foreign debt and not allow gambling with it. How far Milen Velchev has listened to his advice will become clear from the policy, which he intends to follow. The Bulgarians will become aware of its success or failure by the money in their pockets, because if foreign debt operations are successful, the expenses for its servicing would decrease, and thus additional fianances will be available for pensions, children's allowances, health care, education, and investments in infrastructure. And if the foreign debt management policy suffers fiasco, the State will have to thrust still deeper in the pockets of citizens and companies in order to ensure finances for the increased liabilities to foreign creditors.

Spousal support is a factor in some divorces, but not all of them. There are several things that you have to consider when you think that your case might be one of the few that does have this component.
A guardian ad litem serves an important purpose in custody cases
Not all child custody cases are resolved in an amicable manner. In some cases, the events that lead the parents to divorce are so contentious that they just can't be civil. In other cases, there are circumstances, such as drug addiction, that might make child custody challenging. In these cases, a guardian ad litem might be ordered for the children.
Child custody cases have to be based on the child's needs
Child custody cases can be a stressful situation for parents because they have to balance the child's needs with the possible options that come during the negotiation process. Many of these situations are resolved through mediation, which is beneficial for the parents and the children.
Social media stumbling blocks to avoid in your divorce
Going through a divorce has never been an easy process, but social media has made it an even more treacherous proposition. People, lulled into a false sense of security by likes and supportive comments, can end up saying things online that impact the outcome of their divorce in a negative manner.
Tips for men who are going through an unexpected divorce
When people think of divorce, they might think of the woman as the one who is blindsided by the filing. This isn't always the case. Men are sometimes the ones who are in shock when they find out about it. When this is happens, you will need to make sure that you are taking steps to protect yourself and your interests.
Child custody cases often come with passionate parents
Child custody cases can be very difficult to work through simply because most parents are very passionate about matters related to their kids. When you think about what you want for them, you can likely plan the steps to make it happen. What you might not think about is that your child's other parent has probably done the same thing.
