Q: Get classroom available hours between date time range I'm, using Oracle 11g and I have this problem. I couldn't come up with any ideas to solve it yet.
I have a table with occupied classrooms. What I need to find are the hours available between a datetime range. For example, I have rooms A, B and C, the table of occupied classrooms looks like this:
Classroom        start                 end
   A         10/10/2013 10:00      10/10/2013 11:30
   B         10/10/2013 09:15      10/10/2013 10:45
   B         10/10/2013 14:30      10/10/2013 16:00

What I need to get is something like this:
with date time range between '10/10/2013 07:00' and '10/10/2013 21:15'
Classroom    avalailable_from        available_to
   A         10/10/2013 07:00      10/10/2013 10:00
   A         10/10/2013 11:30      10/10/2013 21:15
   B         10/10/2013 07:00      10/10/2013 09:15
   B         10/10/2013 10:45      10/10/2013 14:30
   B         10/10/2013 16:00      10/10/2013 21:15
   C         10/10/2013 07:00      10/10/2013 21:15

Is there a way I can accomplish that with sql or pl/sql?

A: I was looking at a solution similar in concept at least to Wernfried's, but I think it's different enough to post as well. The start is the same idea, first generating the possible time slots, and assuming you're looking at 15-minute windows: I'm using CTEs because I think they're clearer than nested selects, particularly with this many levels.
with date_time_range as (
  select to_date('10/10/2013 07:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI') as date_start,
    to_date('10/10/2013 21:15', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI') as date_end
  from dual
),
time_slots as (
  select level as slot_num,
    dtr.date_start + (level - 1) * interval '15' minute as slot_start,
    dtr.date_start + level * interval '15' minute as slot_end
  from date_time_range dtr
  connect by level <= (dtr.date_end - dtr.date_start) * (24 * 4) -- 15-minutes
)
select * from time_slots;

This gives you the 57 15-minute slots between the start and end date you specified. The CTE for date_time_range isn't strictly necessary, you could put your dates straight into the time_slots conditions, but you'd have to repeat them and that then introduces a possible failure point (and means binding the same value multiple times, from JDBC or wherever).
Those slots can then be cross-joined to the list of classrooms, which I'm assuming are already in another table, which gives you 171 (3x57) combinations; and those can be compared with existing bookings - once those are eliminated you're left with the 153 15-minute slots that have no booking.
with date_time_range as (...),
time_slots as (...),
free_slots as (
  select c.classroom, ts.slot_num, ts.slot_start, ts.slot_end,
    lag(ts.slot_end) over (partition by c.classroom order by ts.slot_num)
      as lag_end,
    lead(ts.slot_start) over (partition by c.classroom order by ts.slot_num)
      as lead_start
  from time_slots ts
  cross join classrooms c
  left join occupied_classrooms oc on oc.classroom = c.classroom
    and not (oc.occupied_end <= ts.slot_start
      or oc.occupied_start >= ts.slot_end)
  where oc.classroom is null
)
select * from free_slots;

But then you have to collapse those into contiguous ranges. There are various ways of doing that; here I'm peeking at the previous and next rows to decide if a particular value is the edge of a range:
with date_time_range as (...),
time_slots as (...),
free_slots as (...),
free_slots_extended as (
  select fs.classroom, fs.slot_num,
    case when fs.lag_end is null or fs.lag_end != fs.slot_start
      then fs.slot_start end as slot_start,
    case when fs.lead_start is null or fs.lead_start != fs.slot_end
      then fs.slot_end end as slot_end
  from free_slots fs
)
select * from free_slots_extended
where (fse.slot_start is not null or fse.slot_end is not null);

Now we're down to 12 rows. (The outer where clause eliminates all 141 of the 153 slots from the previous step which are mid-range, since we only care about the edges):
CLASSROOM   SLOT_NUM SLOT_START       SLOT_END
--------- ---------- ---------------- ----------------
A                  1 2013-10-10 07:00
A                 12                  2013-10-10 10:00
A                 19 2013-10-10 11:30
A                 57                  2013-10-10 21:15
B                  1 2013-10-10 07:00
B                  9                  2013-10-10 09:15
B                 16 2013-10-10 10:45
B                 30                  2013-10-10 14:30
B                 37 2013-10-10 16:00
B                 57                  2013-10-10 21:15
C                  1 2013-10-10 07:00
C                 57                  2013-10-10 21:15

So those represent the edges, but on separate rows, and a final step combines them:
...
select distinct fse.classroom,
  nvl(fse.slot_start, lag(fse.slot_start)
    over (partition by fse.classroom order by fse.slot_num)) as slot_start,
  nvl(fse.slot_end, lead(fse.slot_end)
    over (partition by fse.classroom order by fse.slot_num)) as slot_end
from free_slots_extended fse
where (fse.slot_start is not null or fse.slot_end is not null)

Or putting all that together:
with date_time_range as (
  select to_date('10/10/2013 07:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI') as date_start,
    to_date('10/10/2013 21:15', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI') as date_end
  from dual
),
time_slots as (
  select level as slot_num,
    dtr.date_start + (level - 1) * interval '15' minute as slot_start,
    dtr.date_start + level * interval '15' minute as slot_end
  from date_time_range dtr
  connect by level <= (dtr.date_end - dtr.date_start) * (24 * 4) -- 15-minutes
),
free_slots as (
  select c.classroom, ts.slot_num, ts.slot_start, ts.slot_end,
    lag(ts.slot_end) over (partition by c.classroom order by ts.slot_num)
      as lag_end,
    lead(ts.slot_start) over (partition by c.classroom order by ts.slot_num)
      as lead_start
  from time_slots ts
  cross join classrooms c
  left join occupied_classrooms oc on oc.classroom = c.classroom
    and not (oc.occupied_end <= ts.slot_start
      or oc.occupied_start >= ts.slot_end)
  where oc.classroom is null
),
free_slots_extended as (
  select fs.classroom, fs.slot_num,
    case when fs.lag_end is null or fs.lag_end != fs.slot_start
      then fs.slot_start end as slot_start,
    case when fs.lead_start is null or fs.lead_start != fs.slot_end
      then fs.slot_end end as slot_end
  from free_slots fs
)
select distinct fse.classroom,
  nvl(fse.slot_start, lag(fse.slot_start)
    over (partition by fse.classroom order by fse.slot_num)) as slot_start,
  nvl(fse.slot_end, lead(fse.slot_end)
    over (partition by fse.classroom order by fse.slot_num)) as slot_end
from free_slots_extended fse
where (fse.slot_start is not null or fse.slot_end is not null)
order by 1, 2;

Which gives:
CLASSROOM SLOT_START       SLOT_END
--------- ---------------- ----------------
A         2013-10-10 07:00 2013-10-10 10:00
A         2013-10-10 11:30 2013-10-10 21:15
B         2013-10-10 07:00 2013-10-10 09:15
B         2013-10-10 10:45 2013-10-10 14:30
B         2013-10-10 16:00 2013-10-10 21:15
C         2013-10-10 07:00 2013-10-10 21:15

SQL Fiddle.

A: It is always a challenge when you like to "select something which does not exist". First you need a list of all available classrooms and times (in interval of 15 Minutes). Then you can select them by skipping the occupied items.
I managed to make a query without any PL/SQL:
CREATE TABLE Table1
    (Classroom VARCHAR2(10), start_ts DATE, end_ts DATE);
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES ('A', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 10:00:00', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 11:30:00');
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES ('B', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 09:15:00', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 10:45:00');
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES ('B', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 14:30:00', TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 16:00:00');

WITH all_rooms AS
    (SELECT CHR(64+LEVEL) AS ROOM FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3),
all_times AS
    (SELECT  CAST(TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 07:00:00' + (LEVEL-1) * INTERVAL '15' MINUTE AS DATE) AS TIMES, LEVEL AS SLOT
    FROM DUAL
    CONNECT BY TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 07:00:00' + (LEVEL-1) * INTERVAL '15' MINUTE <= TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 21:15:00'),
all_free_slots AS
    (SELECT ROOM, TIMES, SLOT,
        CASE SLOT-LAG(SLOT, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY ROOM ORDER BY SLOT)
            WHEN 1 THEN 0
            ELSE 1
        END AS NEW_WINDOW
    FROM all_times
        CROSS JOIN all_rooms
    WHERE NOT EXISTS
        (SELECT 1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE ROOM = CLASSROOM AND TIMES BETWEEN START_TS + INTERVAL '1' MINUTE AND END_TS - INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)),
free_time_windows AS
    (SELECT ROOM, TIMES, SLOT,
        SUM(NEW_WINDOW) OVER (PARTITION BY ROOM ORDER BY SLOT) AS WINDOW_ID
    FROM all_free_slots)
SELECT ROOM,
    TO_CHAR(MIN(TIMES), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') AS free_time_start,
    TO_CHAR(MAX(TIMES), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') AS free_time_end
FROM free_time_windows
GROUP BY ROOM, WINDOW_ID
HAVING MAX(TIMES) - MIN(TIMES) > 0
ORDER BY ROOM, 2;

ROOM FREE_TIME_START    FREE_TIME_END
---- ----------------------------------
A    2013-01-10 07:00   2013-01-10 10:00
A    2013-01-10 11:30   2013-01-10 21:15
B    2013-01-10 07:00   2013-01-10 09:15
B    2013-01-10 10:45   2013-01-10 14:30
B    2013-01-10 16:00   2013-01-10 21:15
C    2013-01-10 07:00   2013-01-10 21:15

In order to understand the query you can split the sub-queries from top, e.g.
WITH all_rooms AS
    (SELECT CHR(64+LEVEL) AS ROOM FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3),
all_times AS
    (SELECT  CAST(TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 07:00:00' + (LEVEL-1) * INTERVAL '15' MINUTE AS DATE) AS TIMES, LEVEL AS SLOT
    FROM DUAL
    CONNECT BY TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 07:00:00' + (LEVEL-1) * INTERVAL '15' MINUTE <= TIMESTAMP '2013-01-10 21:15:00')
SELECT ROOM, TIMES, SLOT,
    CASE SLOT-LAG(SLOT, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY ROOM ORDER BY SLOT)
        WHEN 1 THEN 0
        ELSE 1
    END AS NEW_WINDOW
FROM all_times
    CROSS JOIN all_rooms
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE ROOM = CLASSROOM AND TIMES BETWEEN START_TS + INTERVAL '1' MINUTE AND END_TS - INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)
ORDER BY ROOM, SLOT

How international students are transforming an island community in Canada
Cape Breton University's international student population has boomed in just a few short years. Source: Shutterstock
The value of international students extends far beyond a school's academic reputation. Having students from diverse national backgrounds mhas a big impact – not only within the university itself, but within the surrounding community.
A large number of international students in a town or city can drastically change the way it operates; for example, the mushrooming of restaurants to cater to international palates and the growth of student housing.
The Globe and Mail recently shed light on the transformation of Cape Breton Island in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, that happened in just a few years.
Before the influx of international students – mainly from India and China – the residents were unfamiliar with foreigners, despite sweeping migration in the country.
Atlantic Canada universities see hike in international students | Cape Breton Post https://t.co/kXo9Lv2mkL
— Cape Breton Post (@capebretonpost) October 16, 2019
According to the article, "The first visible sign of Cape Breton University's transformation was the lineup for the bus. Passing motorists craned their necks to stare at the clusters of students waiting on street corners, sometimes as many as 10 to 20 at a time. The community had never seen anything like it.
"Hundreds of new international students, mainly from India and China, began arriving in Sydney, N.S., last fall, and they've kept coming ever since.
"Their presence represents a massive shift for Cape Breton University. Once a tiny regional school imperiled by declining enrolment, CBU is now a growing centre for international education."
In fact, no other Canadian university has crossed the 50 percent foreign-student threshold like CBU has, as even the largest foreign-student cohorts are in the 30 percent range.
The Globe and Mail reported, "The number of international students at CBU increased more than threefold in 24 months. At a time when revenues are flat elsewhere, its budget swelled by 37 percent.
"The school nearly doubled in size. It also crossed a crucial threshold: two-thirds of the university's students, a super-majority, now hail from abroad."
What drove the transformation?

CBU was struggling with dwindling student numbers and declining revenue in 2016. Therefore, the administration, led by president Mr. Dingwall, enlisted agents based in China, India and other countries to recruit more international students.
Their efforts worked, as over 1,100 new international students soon arrived from dozens of countries. "The new students have brought in a lot of money – the school's budget went from $57-million to $79-million in a year.
"But there are also costs associated with growth. The cafeteria has to be expanded. In a year, more than 95 new staff have been hired, 45 faculty and others in support roles to help the international students navigate life in Canada."
Such a huge and rapid transformation is bound to have its challenges. According to the article, "Its explosive growth triggered a local housing shortage, and forced the university to hire more staff and hunt for additional class space. The university even had to buy the town more buses."
There are also academic integrity and learning issues to be addressed, as a number of faculty members said that some issues are unfamiliar with Canadian citation standards and need to improve their English writing skills.
That's why the school has increased writing and research help resources, also educating students on the dangers of plagiarism in pre-departure orientation seminars. They also plan to include an academic integrity module for students to complete before accessing online course materials.

The on-campus residences were soon filled to the brim, so the university administration turned to the community for help to take in boarders.
The Globe and Mail reported, "Hundreds did, including a priest who welcomed four Indian students as rectory roommates, according to the local paper. Rents rose due to the sudden jump in demand.
"Cafeteria tables buzz in half a dozen languages. The student shop stocks popular Indian and Chinese snacks. The local cinema swapped Hollywood films for Bollywood a few days a week to boost business.
"The entire student council is made up of international students. The men's soccer team, a campus rallying point, has risen to the top of national rankings with a team that's almost half international students."
Mr Dingwall said that feedback from the community has been mainly positive, despite their unfamiliarity with foreigners. "Let me put it this way: The community is asking us to do this. The community wants international students."
However, local student Madeline Harpell, who grew up in Cape Breton, told The Globe and Mail that not all are entirely accepting of the sudden influx of international students.
She was initially shocked when she arrived for her classes last fall, as the high school she went to had very little diversity, but she adjusted quickly. She said, "It opens your eyes to new perspectives and parts of the world we wouldn't otherwise be exposed to."
She said she has heard people complain about crowded hallways and the difficulty of finding student housing because of the influx.
She is glad that her mother was able to rent out a property to four international students at a higher rate than usual.
Harpell said, "A lot of people, it's not that they're close-minded, but Cape Breton is very traditional."
I was at Needs, cashier low on small bills, so I searched purse for change. A @CBU student #India thought I was short and offered help. I thanked him & said I was ok. He said one day he was short at Sobeys & never forgot kind man who helped. He wanted to give back. 😢❤#kindness

As international students can work part-time in Canada, some local businesses are welcoming them with open arms.
Damien Barry, general counsel at Louisbourg Seafoods, had trouble filling physically demanding jobs in the past. He said, "Without international students this year, we would've been in serious trouble. They've been a breath of fresh air. They're very appreciative of the opportunity."
He also stated that he will help international students he has employed with their application for permanent residency after graduation.
The Globe and Mail reported, "All around Sydney, people talk of a community transformed. In fast-food restaurants and discount retailers, the workers are likely to be international students.
"There are bustling Asian grocery stores and new restaurants launched by some of CBU's international grads. More than one international student says Cape Bretoners have approached them in stores to tell them how pleased they are to see immigrants in Cape Breton."
The transformation and explosive growth of international students at Cape Breton university is reflective of a growing market in the country. International student numbers have tripled in the past decade.

Creating Emotional Balance with 'Not Going Quietly' Filmmaker Nicholas Bruckman
'Not Going Quietly' filmmaker Nicholas Bruckman shares with Script about the film's story trajectory, the collaboration with both co-writer and producer Amanda Roddy and editor Kent Bassett, and the future of documentary filmmaking.
Sadie Dean
Ady Barkan's life is upended when he is diagnosed with ALS, but a confrontation with a powerful senator catapults him to national fame and ignites a once-in-a-generation political movement. Not Going Quietly received three IDA nominations, for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing. The film also received a nomination for the Critics Choice Documentary Awards and won the Audience Award and Special Jury prize at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival, and screened as an official selection of Tribeca Film Festival.
The documentary film steadily navigates the political and social commentary terrain, through the voice and hope of Ady Barkan. It's a riveting and jaw-dropping journey, poignantly helmed by Nicholas Bruckman. I had the great pleasure of speaking with Nicholas about the film's story trajectory, the collaboration with both co-writer and producer Amanda Roddy and editor Kent Bassett, and the future of documentary filmmaking.

This interview has been edited for content and clarity.
Sadie Dean: How did you initially link up with Ady Barkan and how did the story you initially start with evolve to what we see now in the film?
Nicholas Bruckman: I run a documentary and commercial production company called People's Television in New York and DC. In order to pay the documentary bills, we do all kinds of branded work in the social impact and social justice and progressive political organizing space - a lot of short-form docs and commercials for organizations I believe in and candidates I care about. And so, I got a call in early 2018 from Liz Jaff and she was looking for a production company to make a short video to launch the Be A Hero campaign. And we got on the phone and she said, 'OK, so I just have this crazy story. I met this guy on an airplane. We filmed the Senator. We shot this video and it went viral. And we're going to launch a healthcare organization.' And I took a look at the video, which I thought was pretty amazing of Ady confronting Senator Jeff Flake, and really didn't know what to think about what the campaign was or would become, because I didn't really know Ady yet. So, I thought it was more of a traditional kind of health care campaign or fundraiser until I flew out to Santa Barbara and met Ady and the very first frame I ever filmed with him, is in the movie - he's changing his shirt and his wife Rachel is helping him get ready, and he's topless in the interview chair and he's like, 'Alright, let's get started.' And that moment, we were filming for what we thought was going to be a kind of short-form launch video for YouTube for his campaign. At the end of that interview, I said, 'Hey, Ady, let's make a movie.' Because I realized not only was he this incredible person, activist and father and hilarious, self-deprecating kind of guy that you wanted to spend that kind of time with, but also there was this crazy urgency to tell his story because of ALS and how quickly it moves. He had already been sick for a year when I met him, and he was already losing his voice. It was kind of a now or never moment. I just saw that kind of flash before my eyes that there wasn't really any time to talk about this. And fortunately, Ady was really receptive right away. We made that short launch video for YouTube, and then we shifted into making a kind of journalistic observational documentary.
Sadie: That's incredible. How did you and your co-writer Amanda Roddy approach this story and collaborate?
Nicholas: We worked closely together from the beginning to the end and there were a lot of challenges with how we wrote the story, because we wanted everything to be as authentic from Ady's perspective and worldview as possible. And yet, Ady couldn't always speak, in a pretty literal sense, right? Sometimes we'd be on the road with him wanting to interview him, and as you saw in the film, he would lose his voice entirely, certain times a day. And that happened often and so we had to ask ourselves do we want to do an interview with him now or should he save his voice for his family or for the audience? And it was a very difficult ethical question to navigate while we were shooting. And often we would choose not to interview him and to let the story unfold through his natural conversations that he would have with other people rather than performing for the documentary. And I think that ended up giving us some more intimacy and authenticity and a more narrative cinematic feel to it and it ended up being a constraint that made the movie better. But it also meant that we had to tell the story using his computer voice, which he gets later in the narrative.
Sadie: I liked the creative choice of not relying heavily on talking heads, it gives it, like you said, a cinematic feel to it.
Nicholas: Yeah, I always really wanted the film to feel like a narrative. I've also produced narratives, like scripted films and commercials, and it was always a goal of mine for this film to feel like a drama or that kind of structure.
Sadie: It certainly makes it more digestible for those who don't tend to seek out documentaries. Was your editor Kent Bassett on board from the very beginning or did he come on later?
Nicholas: No, he came out a bit later - we were still shooting when he came on. He did an incredible job of helping us create that elegant art that the movie ultimately has. I think it feels like when you're watching it, 'Oh, this just happened and then Ady did this, and Ady did that!' But of course, a lot of that was really crafted in the storytelling to make that journey feel cohesive, and to really be true to the spirit of the story, and to craft those 90 minutes from 300 hours and thread that delicate line of inspiring, the sad and the funny without ever getting lost in one of those three things. And Kent did an amazing job of creating that emotional balance of the movie.
[Capturing Creative Isolation with 'Under the Volcano' Filmmakers Gracie Otto and Cody Greenwood]
Sadie: The emotional balance is certainly there. I adore watching the relationship build between Ady and Carl, it's like they slowly switch roles as his ALS progresses. This is more a humble request from me, but I hope you do some kind of follow up story with Carl in say 10-15 years to see where he is at that point in his life, because I feel like he's going to be doing really great things in his lifetime.
Nicholas: We should do that. [laughs] Carl hasn't seen it yet, but I'm excited for him to. I think he's still a little bit young, and it will be emotional for him. Seeing Ady and Carl's relationship transform is really the heart of the film. It's not just about activism. It's about Ady learning to be the best father he can be with this condition. I think it's connected to his activism and I think his activism gets meaning and that meaning he can translate to his family and to his son. And it's just incredibly beautiful. For me, the most emotional thing about making this movie was seeing their dynamic unfolding. Carl now really has a much better understanding of Ady's condition than he did. And they learned to communicate and have this dynamic and it makes Ady's life worth living. And of course, there's this question that we get asked about a lot of like, how did you balance the political and the personal in this film? The approach was not so much balancing it but rather like erasing that line or erasing that boundary as if those things are separate. And that's what I think Ady does through his work is those moments of him being with family are made possible by the healthcare and the providers that he's fighting for other people to have.

Sadie: There's a really great quote that Ady says in his speeches, 'Hope is a hammer,' which I think just beautifully encapsulates this movie and story.
Nicholas: We almost called it that. [laughs] We kept going back and forth between the two.
Sadie: Oh, wow! With that said, what do you hope audiences take away from this film after watching it?
Nicholas: I think that's what really encapsulates the spirit of the movie. It's paraphrased from author Rebecca Solnit, who says that hope is not a state of mind, right? It's really easy, especially for people I think in the progressive and activist movement in this long fight to win things like universal health care, which are still so far in the horizon, it can be really depressing and demoralizing and easy to get jaded and hopeless. But when people asked Ady, and we got the benefit of making this movie in his presence, what gives you hope? Especially with something like ALS. Ady says that hope is not a state of mind. Hope is a state of action that you create hope through doing something about it - it's not about the results, it's not about the odds of victory. The actual act of trying to create and forge a better world for yourself, for your family, for the country, that is the creation of hope. I find that very moving and I find that to be the heart of what Ady's messages are about. It's like the ALS is this metaphor for paralysis that our country is experiencing, problems that we can't seem to solve, and the way Ady's overcome them is through action. I think there's something in that for everybody, whether you're a political activist or not.
Sadie: Yeah, I totally agree. And as a documentarian, there comes great responsibility. Why do you think it's important to be a documentarian especially in this day and age?
Nicholas: I think that all storytellers whether fiction or nonfiction, podcasters, or video game makers, you do have great power and responsibility. I think that it's possible to make movies and I hope Not Going Quietly is one of them that entertains while engaging with those issues in a real way. I personally love the documentary medium, mostly because I believe that old adage that truth is stranger than fiction. Nobody could write this thing in a believable way that the woman who happened to be next to him on the plane and the Senator that he was looking for, we're all there and they would capture this moment together and turn it into this national movement. And then a year later, another activist would confront the same senator in the same way. It's a richer world than I think anybody could have written. And for me, those kinds of stories are really exciting. I think there's a lot of misconceptions about what documentary directors do; there's this of being a fly on the wall and hitting the record button and that's making the movie and it's not. I think there's as much direction between a documentary filmmaker and their crew and their cast that there is between a narrative director and their crew and as much relationship building between me and Ady as there is between a director and an actor - it doesn't mean it's the same process. There's a lot of craft that goes into documentary directing, which I think is overlooked and I hope that with the kind of new renaissance and resurgence and excitement around the documentary medium, there'll be more respect for it. And when I say respect and misconceptions, a real tangible example of that is how a documentary has never been nominated for Best Picture. There's no reason for that. I'm hopeful that there will be a new perception and renaissance around the craft and artistry of documentary filmmaking and that's happening now. And I'm excited about it.

Sadie: It's interesting that you say that because a lot of well-known directors are heavily inspired by documentaries, a specific documentarian, and how they engage their subjects. It's all filmmaking and as noteworthy as a narrative.
Nicholas: Right, exactly. Another thing that's certainly quite mystified is the documentary writer's role. And what a documentary writing credit is. There's been a lot of discussion about this recently. There's a lot of really incredible documentary writers out there like Mark Monroe and his people who really are screenwriters. And their base material consists of interviews and words that people said in real life, as Amanda and my work was based on that, but there were elements of VO co-written with Ady and pulled from his statements and other things the way a traditional VO might be. I think that's an important role in the scripting world and documentary filmmaking world, that's starting to be recognized and understood in a better way.
[Writing a Documentary Film With No Rules]
Sadie: I've heard many filmmakers say that their next passion project would be to make a documentary and as you know, it takes a lot of work and dedication. Any advice for those filmmakers who want to make their first documentary? Is there something maybe you wish you would have known on your first project?
Nicholas: Yeah, good question. One thing that I feel strongly about is being tool agnostic. I think a lot of people wait for the right camera packages and the right crew and all of that. Some of the best shots from Not Going Quietly were shot on phones or were shot by activists and not filmmakers. I think that trust and relationship building is the most paramount thing and being there when the dramatic moments unfold; your presence and access in that moment is everything. So that's one thing and another thing is, it kind of goes back to what I was saying about the direction, is that I think documentary directors shouldn't be afraid to set the stage or create a framework for the way they want their story to unfold and bringing their characters together in meaningful places. I'm really excited about the kinds of hybrid filmmaking models that are going on where real people are brought into artificial or narrative or scripted frameworks, or situations and seeing how those dynamics play out. I would really encourage people to play with form and blur the lines between fiction and nonfiction, which a lot of films are doing in exciting ways now.

Halloween is creeping up on us. The other day I was coming up with ideas for our annual family Halloween party and I came across chocolate witch hats so I thought I would share with you guys the recipe on how to do it. They look and taste yummy !! Like who doesn't like chocolate !!
The first thing we need is to make our filling for our hats so do to this we must pour the cream into a saucepan make sure the cooker is set at a high to medium heat and then let it simmer. Pour the hot cream all over the chopped chocolate and gently whisk until the chocolate melts until the mixture is smooth. Once that is done place your mixture(ganache) in the fridge and cover with cling wrap leave for an hour.
While your waiting on your ganache to cool its the prefect opportunity for you to prep you cones. You need to cut the cones in half we only need the top part of the cone use a knife to cut it and cut it slowly so that it doesn't break.
Once the ganache has cooled and is like a peanut butter texture you can place it in the inside of the cone using a piping bag. Overfill the cones so that there is extra coming out of the top as it will allow the cone to stick to the cookie. once you filled all the cones place them in the fridge and leave for another hour.
For the coating you need to melt cooking chocolate you can do this by placing a glass bowl over a hot saucepan of boiling water and allow the chocolate to slowly melt. Once you have the chocolate melted you can then coat the cones to do this you can dip the cones into the chocolate or you can use a spoon to cover the cones in chocolate.once you have coated all of the witches hats you can leave them to cool for about 15 minutes in the fridge.
Once the witches hats are cool you can decorate them how ever you like. once you have them decorated they are ready to eat !!
I hope you enjoyed this little blog post bees !! This week I will be hoping to continue doing more posts based on Halloween.

Journalist Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary and their four children lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family. When the money ran out, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town Rex had tried to escape. As the dysfunction escalated, the children had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they found the resources and will to leave home. Yet Walls describes her parents with deep affection in this tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life. -- From publisher description.

Now a major motion picture from Lionsgate starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts. MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST The perennially bestselling, extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, "nothing short of spectacular" (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world's most gifted storytellers. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family.
In the tradition of Mary Karr's "The Liars' Club" and Rick Bragg's "All Over But the Shouting," Walls has written a stunning and life-affirming memoir about surviving a willfully impoverished, eccentric, and severely misguided family.
You'll love joining Avery in the adventures of The Glass Castle where the setting from The Chronicles of Narnia meets the action from Alice in Wonderland. Avery dragged her three-year-old brother behind a boxwood bush and listened for footsteps in the brittle leaves. She couldn't be sure which was louder—the person on their trail or her own heart, galloping like a stallion in her ears. With one hand over Henry's mouth, Avery looked down at the nicest dress she owned. Not only had she torn the ruffles and destroyed the hem, but the white linen stood out in the shadowy woods, making her an easy target. If she survived this afternoon and made it home tonight—and that felt like a giant if—her father would demand to know why her dress was stained with grass and mud and tinged with blood.She would tell him the truth. The king is growing old and is concerned about who will replace him. His new wife wants to produce an heir to the throne. The only problem? Thirteen years ago, the king's first wife gave birth to a son, and no one knows for sure what happened to him. Rumors swirl throughout the castle. For the new queen, the solution as simple: dispose of all the thirteen-year-olds in the kingdom. Except, it isn't that easy. Avery and her friends won't go quietly. Avery, Kate, Tuck, and Kendrick take charge of the underground network of kidnapped children, inspiring them to believe that their past does not dictate their future and pledging to do the hardest thing of all. . .reunite the children with the homes they left behind. When they discover that one among them might be the child of a man who wants them dead, will everything they work for be lost? The Glass Castle is Book 1 of the Thirteen series. Look for...

The Silver Star
A stunning, heartbreaking novel about an intrepid girl who challenges the injustice of the adult world - a triumph of imagination and storytelling. It is 1970. 'Bean' Holladay is twelve and her sister Liz fifteen when their artistic mother Charlotte, a woman who 'flees every place she's ever lived at the first sign of trouble', takes off to 'find herself'. She leaves the girls enough money for food to last a month or two. But when Bean gets home from school one day and sees a police car outside the house, she and Liz board a bus from California to Virginia, where their widowed Uncle Tinsley lives in the decaying antebellum mansion that has been in the family for generations. An impetuous optimist, Bean discovers who her father was and learns many stories about why their mother left Virginia in the first place. Money is tight, so Liz and Bean start babysitting and doing office work for Jerry Madox, foreman of the mill in town, a big man who bullies workers, tenants and his wife. Bean adores her whip-smart older sister, inventor of word games, reader of Edgar Allan Poe, non-conformist. But when school starts in the autumn, it is Bean who easily adjusts and makes friends, and Liz who becomes increasingly withdrawn. And then something happens between Liz and Maddox... 'Tragic and comic at the same time... an outrageous story, one that will break your heart' Sunday Independent 'There isn't a shred of self-pity in this deeply compassionate book' Marie Claire ***Half Broke Horses (S&S, 2009) 'Has immense power and readibility... What it does with aplomb is to track the birth of a nation: the conjuring of modern America from a scorched, dusty wasteland' The Times

Half Broke Horses
The author offers a novel based on the life of her grandmother, Lily Casey Smith, who learned to break horses in childhood, journeyed 500 miles on a pony as a teen to become a teacher, and ran a vast ranch in Arizona with her husband while raising two children, including Rosemary Smith Walls, portrayed in the author's acclaimed The Glass Castle. Includes reading-group guide. Reprint. A New York Times Best Book of the Year.
"A spellbinding portrait" of the tumultuous life and artistic career of one of the most creative photographers of the 1960s (New York magazine). Diane Arbus became famous for her intimate and unconventional portraits of twins, dwarfs, sideshow performers, eccentrics, and everyday "freaks." Condemned by some for voyeurism, praised by others for compassion, she was nonetheless a transformative figure in twentieth-century photography and hailed by all for her undeniable genius. Her life was cut short when she committed suicide in 1971 at the peak of her career. In the first complete biography of Arbus, author Patricia Bosworth traces the arc of Arbus's remarkable life: her sheltered upper-class childhood and passionate, all-consuming marriage to Allan Arbus; her roles as wife and devoted mother; and her evolution from fashion photographer to critically acclaimed artist—one who forever altered the boundaries of photography.

Longlisted for the 2018 Frank Hegyi Award for Emerging Authors "Jessica J. Lee is a writer of rare and exhilarating grace. In Turning, she sounds the depths of lakes and her own life, never flinching from darkness, surfacing to fresh understandings of her place in the welter of natural and human history. A beautiful, moody, bracing debut." —Kate Harris, award-winning author of Lands of Lost Borders Through the heat of summer to the frozen depths of winter, Lee traces her journey swimming through 52 lakes in a single year, swimming through fear and heartbreak to find her place in the world Jessica J. Lee swims through all four seasons and especially loves the winter. "I long for the ice. The sharp cut of freezing water on my feet. The immeasurable black of the lake at its coldest. Swimming then means cold, and pain, and elation." At the age of twenty-eight, Jessica, who grew up in Canada and lived in England, finds herself in Berlin. Alone. Lonely, with lowered spirits thanks to some family history and a broken heart, she is there, ostensibly, to write a thesis. And though that is what she does daily, what increasingly occupies her is swimming. So she makes a decision that she believes will win her back her confidence and independence: she will swim fifty-two of the lakes around Berlin, no matter what the weather or season. She is aware that this particular landscape is not without its own ghosts and history. This is the story of a beautiful obsession: of the thrill of a still, turquoise lake, of cracking the ice before submerging, of floating under blue skies, of tangled weeds and murkiness, of cool, fresh, spring swimming—of facing past fears of near-drowning and of breaking free. When she completes her year of swimming, Jessica finds she has new strength, and she has also found friends and has gained some understanding of how the landscape both haunts and holds us. This book is for everyone who loves swimming, who wishes they could push themselves beyond caution, who understands the deep pleasure of using the body's strength, who knows what it is to abandon all thought and float home to the surface.

Das Trainsjoch (/) ist ein Berg im Mangfallgebirge auf der Grenze zwischen Bayern und Tirol, etwa 10 km südlich von Bayrischzell östlich des Ursprungpasses.

Der Berg kann vom Ursprungpass einfach bestiegen werden. Etwas Trittsicherheit ist erforderlich, wenn man über den westlichen Kamm ansteigt, einfacher ist der Anstieg von Süden. Auf dem Weg liegt die Obere Trockenbachalm (Mariandlalm), die das ganze Jahr bewirtschaftet ist. Der Berg wird auch gerne im Winter bestiegen.

Auf dem Gipfel steht ein Kreuz, das Panorama ist umfassend und reicht im Süden bis zu den Firngipfeln der Zentralalpenkette mit Großglockner, Großvenediger und Zillertaler Alpen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Blick hinüber zum markanten Kaisergebirge.
