October SA-CNI Newsletter
SA-CNI Month of Prayer underway...
Launched on the day of the National Day of Prayer event at Wembley Stadium - Saturday 29th September - Street Angels - CNI Network is calling people to a month of prayer for work within the night-time economy.
The month is to encourage people to pray for the work of Local Projects in over 100 communities across the UK, Europe and Australia and for initiatives such as Love Your Streets and #Do1NiceThing which are part of our legacy of the Wembley day and part of the Neighbourhood Prayer Network.
Prayer pointers will be added to our Facebook and Twitter pages (#CNIPrayer) with a more general prayer guide included on our web site.
Paul Blakey MBE, founder of Street Angels - CNI Network, said of the month, "Following on from the fantastic day at Wembley, when tens of thousands of people will gather specifically to pray for our nation, we want to encourage people to pray for the communities where our local projects are making a massive difference. We also encourage prayer for new opportunities to open up, for a greater reduction in crime, for those we partner with and those who volunteer."
Bishop of Pontefract and Patron of SA-CNI, Rt. Revd. Tony Robinson, comments, "Please do support the very important work being done on our streets each week by the teams of volunteers associated with the Christian Nightlife Initiatives. There work is a great example of Christian witness and service."
Street Angels - CNI Network is an umbrella organisation supporting and resourcing over 100 local projects working within the night-time economy. More information is at www.cninetwork.org.uk
It was fantastic to meet and hear of people from local projects across the UK at the National Day of Prayer and Worship at Wembley Stadium on 29th September. The day was attended by around 40,000 people and featured prayer and worship as well as videos and presentations.
Prayers were led for our nation and specific areas such as the Royal Family, Government, children, young people, the Police, local councils, etc. Paul Blakey, who attended the day and endorsed the event on behalf of SA-CNI, commented, "What an amazing day of coming together from across the UK for the sake of our nation. To stand with 40,000 others and to commit to prayer and action is a moment I will never forget. Local projects such as Street Chaplains and Youth Angels demonstrate what can be done when we work together and pray together - communities can be transformed! 'God's Kingdom come, God's will be done, on earth as in heaven' will be more of a reality for people and communities as a result of this day!"
Street Angels - CNI and Love Your Streets are featured in a book which is part of the legacy of the day, "Neighbours Transform Your Streets" written by Rebekah Brettle. This is an excellent resource and includes lots of ideas to inspire you to help transform your local community - information and ordering details here.
We would like to thank all those involved in making the NDOP happen, especially Jonathan Oloyede who had the vision and worked tirelessly for several years to make the day a reality. More details and pictures here.

Working with the Big Society Award we are writing an article "10 tips for a fun and safe night out" which is to be published as part of Alcohol Awareness Week 19th - 25th November. Please email your tip to Paul - it would be great to include volunteers from different local projects.
After a discussion between some of the Trustees of SA-CNI at the Edinburgh Festival weekend we decided that there was a need to seek God over the vision and future of the work. Working around our five strands we have published a Business and Vision Plan. We were challenged to think big! SA-CNI has been run on a shoe-string (our income for 2011/12 was just over £9000) with Paul's role and some of the monthly expenses supported financially by his wife Jean. Realistically this can't continue long term and so we are seeking funding to match the work currently taking place and allow for the future vision for this ministry. We are also thankful to Lempriere Pringle Trust and Jonathan Ruffer who recently donated £5,000 to SA-CNI. Please pray as this is worked out over the next few weeks and months...
SA-CNI sent out an open letter via Twitter to the Police and Crime Commissioners candidates with Twitter accounts. The letter celebrated the work carried out when communities take responsibility for the wider community through initiatives like Street Angels. Several candidates are planning to visit local projects as part of the election campaign and more have sent in messages of support.
The Love Your Streets strand of SA-CNI is part of the legacy of the Wembley Day of Prayer with a vision, partnering with various others, to see every street in the UK have someone committed to loving people on that street unconditionally. People who have that streets spiritual welfare at heart, regardless of whether they ever respond to any Christian ideas. People who help to build community, who serve the street by whatever creative means available; who care for each person, to be their friend, someone who will look out for them and love the streets they live and work on. This is a concept that is happening in areas across the UK and LYS:Pray aims to bring together different initiatives where Christians are praying for local streets and following up that prayer with practical action and love (it could be through Street Angels, Neighbourhood Watch, rubbish collection, calling in on elderly neighbours...) - more information at www.loveyourstreets.org.uk (and don't forget the #Do1NiceThing campaign!)
Paul is sharing the story of Street Angels at a major conference bringing together people wanting to make a difference within local communities from across the UK. Townstock to be held in Halifax on 5th and 6th November: "Townstock is a two day event for people who want to get on and do something about their towns, and the councils, businesses and associations who help it happen.Townstock's for Portas Pilots, Town Teams, local government, business leaders, community initiatives and people who want to make a difference. You'll hear the ideas that are working, share your own experience, meet lots of inspirational people, find out what can be achieved on tiny budgets, and make national connections for your local community." You can find out more and book via the web-site.
Paul is also speaking at the Faith in Health and Healing conference in April 2013.
Each year Calderdale College staff nominate members of the local community for an Inspire Award. The awards are given to members of the local community who through their business or voluntary activities are an inspiration to others. This year's nominees include Paul Blakey, the founder of SA-CNI, along with Clare O'Connor ITVs Mumpreneur in 2008, winner of the Best Interactive Business Award at the Mumpreneur Conference & Awards 2010 and both Best Franchise and Business Parent of the Year 2010 awards and Chris Green founder of White Ribbon, a group that campaigns against male domestic violence against women.

Abraxane is a cell-inducing agent (antimitotic).
In the case of very poorly functioning liver, the product should not be used.
There is limited experience with the use of the agent for pregnant women. Should only be used in special cases after consultation with the specialist.
Works by stopping cell division and thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and, at best, killing them.
The half life in the blood (T?) is 13-27 hours.
Powder for solution for infusion. 1 vial contains 100 mg paclitaxel (like paclitaxel albumin).
Abraxane is manufactured in a different way from the other preparations with paclitaxel. In Abraxane, the ingredient contains paclitaxel as nanoparticles that are linked to a carrier molecule (albumin), which more specifically brings paclitaxel into contact with the cancer cells.
The drug should be used with caution in poorly functioning liver.
Abraxane should be administered before cisplatin (cancer) when these two agents are used at the same time, as the effect of the bone marrow will otherwise be greatly increased.

President Obama's Tweets Receive Racist Responses, Yet He Breaks World Record
Written by DiversityInc Staff on May 20, 2015
Parent Sues Texas School District Over 'Secretly' Hiring A Diversity Consultant January 14, 2022
By Sheryl Estrada
President Barack Obama sent the first tweet of the official Twitter account @POTUS on Monday, which simultaneously broke a Guinness World Record and elicited racist responses.
According to White House Deputy Director of Online Engagement for the Office of Digital Strategy Alex Wall's blog post, @POTUStweets will come exclusively from President Obama. The Twitter account was created for the President to communicate directly with the public.
Wall writes, "President Obama is committed to making his Administration the most open and participatory in history, and@POTUSwill give Americans a new venue to engage on the issues that matter most to them."
Guinness World Records states on its website that on Monday night President Obama "shattered the record for fastest time to reach one million followers on Twitter" after the new account reached the figure in less than five hours. The account now has more than 2 million followers.
Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.
President Obama (@POTUS) May 18, 2015
However, within 10 minutes of his first tweet, multiple racist Twitter users began replying to him using the N-word. There are still users, with active accounts, using inflammatory language; and users who post violent images of the President.
Even outside of social media, blatant disrespect for Mr. and Mrs. Obama has been evident throughout their time living in the White House. In July, Former Attorney General Eric Holder said in an interview "there's a racial animus" toward the Obama administration. For example, last May in New Hampshire, then Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Bob Copeland eventually resigned after calling the President the N-word.
"I believe I did use the N-word in reference to the current occupant of the White House," Copeland wrote in an email to his fellow commissioners. "For this, I do not apologizehe meets and exceeds my criteria for such."
This month, in her commencement speech to Tuskegee University graduates, Mrs. Obama discussed "the chatter, the name calling, the doubting" she endured as a Black woman during her husband's 2008 White House campaign.
The hateful language about the President did not begin with the new @POTUS account. Anyone who uses Twitter avidly has most likely witnessed hateful language or harassmentcommunicated in 140 characters or less under a claim of free speech.
As millions of Twitter users continue to generate traffic for the platform, isn't it time for an enhanced method to deal with abusive trolling
The truth is Twitter, which quickly created an animated diagram to show the rapid rate in which the President's account gained followers from all over the world, is slow at stopping trolling.
In February, Twitter CEO Dick Costolowrote an internal memo to his employees about harassment and abuse that exists on Twitter, a company that had an all white male board of directors until adding Marjorie Scardino in 2013.
The memo, obtained by The Verge, addressed a question regarding an article written by Lindy West describing her horrible cyberbullying experience on the platform.
Costolo took responsibility for the harassment and abuse caused by trolls:
We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we've sucked at it for years. It's no secret and the rest of the world talks about it every day. We lose core user after core user by not addressing simple trolling issues that they face every day. I'm frankly ashamed of how poorly we've dealt with this issue during my tenure as CEO. It's absurd. There's no excuse for it. I take full responsibility for not being more aggressive on this front. It's nobody else's fault but mine, and it's embarrassing. We're going to start kicking these people off right and left and making sure that when they issue their ridiculous attacks, nobody hears them. Everybody on the leadership team knows this is vital.
Twitter, your users interested in productive discourse deserve more, including the current President and future Presidents who will utilize the @POTUS account. President Obama sent two additional tweets on Monday. One tweet was a response to President Bill Clinton's question, "Does that username stay with the office" Obama wrote, "The handle comes with the house."
Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS

The War Of The Buttons
The kids are crafty and retro-adorable, the morals sound and the rural nostalgia impeccably groomed – a family-friendly ode to spunky self-determination, clan loyalty and the role of education in societal betterment.
Lisa Nesselsson
SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
Director: Yann Samuell
Cast: Vincent Bres, Salome Lemire, Alain Chabat, Eric Elmosnino, Mathilde Seigner
Mild violence and coarse language
From the furtive imagination of writer/director Yann Samuell (Love Me If You Dare, The Age of Reason) comes the smash-hit adaptation of Louis Pergaud's classic 1912 novel (a book long on the French curriculum and reprinted over thirty times!) about the rivalry between gangs of children from two villages.
Samuell sets the action in a small village in the south of France in 1960, against the distant backdrop of the Algerian War. A gang of boys, aged 7 to 14 led by the intrepid Lebrac (Vincent Bres) are at war with the kids of the neighbouring township, their sworn enemies. In this uncompromising battle of honour and allegiances that's been kept alive for generations, humiliation is the most fearsome defeat and no tactic is too extreme – even if it necessitates fighting as naked as a worm or accepting the help offered by Lanterne (Salome Lemire) – a girl! She's the gang's new recruit, a tomboy full of panache and ingenuity – and it seems victory could now just be a skipping stone's throw away. But it's not easy to wage war without getting caught by your parents…
A huge success at the French box office in late 2011 with over 1.5 million admissions, THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS is a cheeky family comedy about integration, independence and innocence, about conflicts big and small, and growing up – with a fresh and joyful spirit that speaks to the childish delight of disobedience.

Energy Bills Support Scheme: Alternative Funding
Volume 726: debated on Tuesday 17 January 2023
Mohammad Yasin
(Bedford) (Lab)
13. What assessment he has made of the adequacy of the energy bills support scheme alternative funding. (903119)
The Minister for Energy and Climate
(Graham Stuart)
The energy bills support scheme alternative funding will provide £400 of credit to around 900,000 households without a direct relationship with an electricity supplier. This matches the energy bills support scheme in Great Britain, which is automatically delivering the discount to 29 million households.
My constituency is home to a number of residents who are waiting for the energy bills support scheme alternative funding. Despite the Government confirming alternative funding on 1 April 2022, not a penny has been paid to date. Why is this taking so long? When do the Government estimate the first payment will be received?
I share the hon. Gentleman's frustration. It is complicated. We do not live in a database society, so finding and identifying these people without putting public money at risk has been challenging. I am delighted to say, as my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said earlier, that a pilot programme using the Government portal, and a telephone support service for those who struggle to access the portal, went live yesterday. We aim to have the portal open at the end of the month. If all goes well with the pilot, payments will be processed by local authorities and will go out as soon as possible in February, and certainly this winter. That is our aspiration.
(North East Bedfordshire) (Con)
I am afraid the Government are testing the patience of park home owners in my constituency. I have previously asked the Minister whether he can confirm that payments will be made directly to park home owners, rather than park home operators. Can he confirm that point, and that payments will be made as a block sum? Or will they be paid monthly, as per the standard programme?
I have spoken on a number of occasions with my hon. Friend, and with colleagues on both sides of the House, about making sure these residents are not forgotten. We have worked hard to make sure we have a system that can stand up and deliver. We give the funding to local authorities and, as soon as they have gone through the process and made the necessary verifications for the payment to go out, a single payment will be paid directly into the bank accounts of the people concerned.


Dinesh Karthik, 33, was given the second wicketkeeper's slot over rising 21-year-old star Rishabh Pant, ending days of speculation over the role. Vijay Shankar's inclusion means he will probably be the first choice number four batsman, a position which India has struggle to fill permanently.
Karthik has not been on form in recent games, but selectors said they value his performance under pressure over the years. "Definitely it's a case where we debated at length. We went ahead with Karthik because of his experience in big matches," chief selector M.S.K. Prasad told a news conference.
"We have seen Karthik finishing matches under pressure. Pant is full of talent, there's a lot of time for him and it's just unfortunate that he has missed out." Karthik was part of the Indian squad for the 2007 World Cup but was overlooked for 2011 and 2015. The selectors however made it clear that former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 37, would remain first-choice wicketkeeper. "In an important game, wicketkeeping is also important. Karthik will only play in case of an injury to Dhoni," Prasad said.

Denise and Eric got married at the gorgeous Newhall Mansion this past Saturday. This was the second weekend in a row we had the pleasure of working with the wonderful staff of Tricia Dahlgren Weddings and Events, Celebrate Florals, and Cake Goodness. Needless to say the event was organized and absolutely gorgeous. Also, catering was provided by the delicious DJ's Catering. This was a beautiful Newhall Mansion Wedding.
Denise and Eric had an absolutely beautiful and unique Disney themed wedding at one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Los Angeles, the Newhall Mansion. The Newhall Mansion features Victorian Style Architecture, and matching furniture inside. We were given a beautiful cloud cover to shoot under, making the light almost perfect no matter which way we turned. The iconic stairs in front of the mansion provided a beautiful backdrop for photos of the bride and groom, as well as photos of the wedding party. We were very happy to be given the chance to document this awesome day for this couple. Newhall Mansion wedding pictures always turn out beautiful, but this day was particularly awesome.
One of my most favorite moments of the wedding was during the ceremony when Denise's father Renato handed her off to Eric, you can see in the photos below the sheer emotion that was happening, and that allowed for some great photo journalistic moments. Also, during Denise's first dance with her father, DJ Joel Velasco turned up the beat a bit and Denise and Renato danced to a mash up of today's top 100 right under the beautiful reception tent provided by 24-7 Events. That's right, Renato was whipping and nay-nay-ing, and doing it well I might add. Denise and Eric also enjoyed a first dance, accompanied by the wedding party, to some of the classic Disney love songs. Being a fan of the old Disney movies myself, I had to say it was one of the most unique and beautiful first dance sequences, as the entire bridal party joined them in the beginning.
Every Newhall Mansion Wedding is beautiful, and yesterday was no exception. We love the beautiful pictures we are able to capture at the 10-plus weddings we photograph at this venue every year. Thank you Denise and Eric for trusting us with your memories, and we cannot wait to see you again!

Home » Do We Have Enough Movies With a Female Lead?
The Hollywood industry has not been very favorable to women for quite a lot of time now. And that claim could have a lot many implications. Firstly, we have had numerous women becoming victims of sexual harassment and abuse at the hands of famous producers and actors. And even though feminist movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp were all about bringing such people down, every few days a newer victim and assaulter emerges. Secondly, Hollywood has produced more than just a lot of films and televisions show that stereotype women and objectify them.
They promote concepts like body shaming and women inferiority. To top it off, women have lesser representation when it comes to movies. There are a fairly less number of movies with female lead roles. Or more importantly, movies that portray women as independent of a male partner.

Is Hollywood Dominated With Male Led Films?
Much like rest of the society, Hollywood treats women as second class citizens. And that's pretty evident with the way that in majority of the movies produced, they are either somebody's wife, girlfriend or mother. Consequently, women in these films are known with regards to the male they married, slept with or gave birth to. For anybody who would consider this just the feminist exaggeration, research studies find statistics that claim that only 12% of lead roles are played by women in the top grossing films of 2014. But the situation probably only worsened with the coming years. And in recent times, a three percentage point drop has been observed when compared to 2013.
In fact, under representation of women is not only limited to the number of lead roles they secure in Hollywood films. But also to the difference between the number of men and number of women cast in each movie. Between years 2007 and 2012, only 10.7% movies produced had casts with an equal number of men and women. Interestingly, only 30% of speaking roles are assigned to women in films. But even then their characters are usually the ones who don't make their own decisions or govern their own lives.
Are Trends Changing, will we get to see more of the female lead on our screens?
To some extent, yes. Well, we do now see a lot of recent releases that move around women or cast them in lead roles. Just like we had Jennifer Garner play the role of the vigilante mother in Peppermint. And now, we even have a whole movie with a female superhero coming up- Captain Marvel. Even when each of these films have had their particular ups and downs, the basic success is that they shattered the glass ceiling to some extent. And with the success that actresses like Shailene Woodley and Melissa McCarthy brought to Divergent and Tammy is threatening the existence of this glass ceiling even more.
Lately, we have a had a number of films with women playing the ass-kicking action heroes in films. And the money these earned at box offices are enough to bring the culture of more women led films. Wonder Woman was one of the few films to prove that not only could women win wars as amazing superheroes. But female led movies could become the top grossing films of the summer. Alien: Covenant and Atomic Blonde were other trend setting releases.
Female driven movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and Pitch Perfect 2 made millions of dollars. People can't stop wondering why the trends are not growing. While putting forward the money records for these movies, an expert claimed that it was definitely not only women who watched these films. And that the gender gap is just bad business.
It seems that the ultimate decision rests in the industry. Despite female actresses proving their worth in female lead roles, Hollywood still needs to handle a lot. And only then, it can provide women with the opportunity to work in female-led movies.

Apple, London's Southbank Center teaming up for REFRAME program
Apple will team up with the Southbank Centre on REFRAME, the pioneering new talent development program that will commence between March and August 2023 with a one-year pilot plan, reports Country & Town House.
Addressing (and hoping to remove) the career related systemic barriers faced by Black and Black mixed heritage young creatives from low-income backgrounds, the scheme is a nationwide effort, with Factory International Manchester, Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) Birmingham and Birmingham City University's STEAMhouse also involved in the rollout.
The Southbank Centre is a complex of artistic venues in London, England, on the South Bank of the River Thames. It comprises three main performance venues, together with the Hayward Gallery, and is Europe's largest centre for the arts.
The partnership is part of Apple's global Racial Equity and Justice Initiative (REJI), and is the tech company's first expansion into Europe. The project also aligns with Arts Council England's Let's Create Strategy.
REJI is Apple's long-term effort to help ensure more positive outcomes for communities of color, particularly for the Black community. Apple launched it with a $100 million commitment in February 2021. You can read more about the company's Racial Equity and Justice Initiative here.

"Five Eyes Network" Sees All
December 4, 2013 AFP Archive 0
By Richard Walker
While its name could be the title of a trashy spy novel, the "Five Eyes" network just happens to be the most powerful espionage club in the world, capable of tracking all electronic communications. It can eavesdrop on every aspect of our lives, making the notion of total privacy a myth.
It began during the Second World War as an exclusive intelligence club of two members, Britain and the United States. By the 1950s, though, it had developed into a network to spy on the Soviet Union with the British leading the way because of their expertise in signals intelligence (SIGINT), the collection and analysis of electromagnetic emissions.
In simple terms, the British knew how to eavesdrop, package and analyze large amounts of information on communications coming out of Russia and its satellite states. They had, after all, been in the spying business long before the U.S., and their experience paved the way for a very special SIGINT network, partnering Britain's General Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) with America's National Security Agency (NSA).
The British later brought Australia, Canada and New Zealand onboard since they were part of the British Commonwealth of nations, and were ideally positioned to target parts of the world considered the biggest threats to the West, in particular the Soviet Union and China.
From Canada's Arctic zone for example, it was possible to listen in to Soviet military and naval communications. As a consequence, the club divvied up the world and assigned individual slices of it to its members. For Australia and New Zealand, espionage targets included China, Vietnam, and India.
This amalgam of intelligence entities soon became the "Five Eyes Network," the name having roots in orthodox intelligence procedures. For example, in Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, intelligence reports carried classifications such as "Secret" and "Top Secret." The highest classification, "Eyes Only," was used to signify that only a limited number of people could view a particular report. When the network began sharing intelligence among its members, it simplified the process by tagging the most highly classified materials as "Five Eyes Only." In that way, it dispensed with the tedious task of listing the name of each member nation on highly classified reports, and in doing so gave itself a new title.
By the 1970s, NSA and GCHQ had developed enormous data-mining and analyzing capabilities, but it was not until 1988 that an enterprising British journalist, Duncan Campbell pried open ever so slightly a window into this fast-developing intelligence world. He revealed the existence of a UK-U.S. spy program, ECHELON, that gathered incredible amounts of information from electronic traffic across the globe. His revelation came in the shadow of the Cold War and was ignored by the mainstream media on both sides of the Atlantic. It would be another decade before New Zealand journalist, Nicky Hager drew international attention to ECHELON in his book, SECRET POWER: New Zealand's Role in the International Spy Network. He not only blew the lid on the astounding espionage capabilities of ECHELON, but exposed the existence of the "Five Eyes" network.
But Hager's efforts to came to nothing and it was not until the recent emergence of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden that people began paying attention to the issue. Yet, despite the publicity, "Five Eyes" has been able to skirt privacy laws in individual countries. For example, NSA can target electronic traffic in Britain, absolving GCHQ of any guilt and giving it deniability. GCHQ can respond in kind to circumvent U.S. law.
According to an article in the UK's Guardian newspaper, which was supplied with classified material by Snowden, GCHQ has been able to tap into the optic cable carrying all global communications and has shared the material with the NSA. The article states that "a total of 850,000 NSA employees and U.S. private contractors with top secret clearance had access to GCHQ databases."
Despite the extensive coverage of Snowden's claims about the overarching power of "Five Eyes," the New Zealand government has voted to give its intelligence service free rein to target the private communications of its citizens. Meanwhile Australia, under pressure from "Five Eyes" partners, has stopped Chinese technology giant Huawei from supplying materials for the country's broadband network. It was a strange ruling, given Huawei has provided equipment for projects in Britain and New Zealand.
But, considering what we little we know about this new world order in which our every electronic footprint is recorded and filed without our knowledge or approval, nothing should ever seem strange to us. We are now truly in the age of Big Brother.

Make them enjoy the semester by organizing events (trips, parties, language courses, etc. – some of them being regular, some of them being special and different every semester), and being their friends, too ;) Our aim is to offer various kinds of free time activities the way you, foreign students, like it. Therefore, we will be happy if we get your feedback – mail us, send us a message via facebook, tell us when you meet us on the street.
We are also here for Czech students planning to go on Erasmus (or just thinking about it) to provide them with information about exchange programs.
It all started in 2010, when our contemporary president was coming back from his Erasmus in Finland, totally disappointed by the lack of knowledge of foreign languages among the Czech students. He decided to do something about it and founded the FILLUP Programme, which was basically a gathering of Czech and foreign students every Wednesday at 6 pm, during which they practiced their English by sharing knowledge about their nations, cultures and habits.
These gatherings gave rise to a team of six Erasmus affected people that decided to found an organisation that would do even more for foreign students. Despite the lack of people (as 6 are not many for founding such organisation), they were doing really good and only two months after applying they became a full member section of ESN.
Thanks to the enthusiasm and hard work of the founders, ESN VŠB-TUO also became one of the most significant sections within ESN CZ. Not only we organized the first national platform for all Czech sections led in the English language, but also we were awarded for the best Responsible Party in Summer Semester 2012, our Section Delegate became the most diligent Section Delegate at the National Platform in June 2012, in January 2013 we became the Section in the Spotlight – an award from the International level of ESN for the sections that may be inspiration for others, and four of our members have been on the national Board of ESN CZ.
These days, ESN VŠB-TUO is expanding beyond the borders of campus and is trying to let all citizens of Ostrava know that there are hundreds of interesting young foreign people studying in Ostrava and it is worth getting together with them.
Our team is composed of young and enthusiastic people that do everything voluntarily. Their main motivations being gaining experience for their future career, meeting people from all over the world, helping them with settling their lives in Ostrava and so increasing the prestige of the university and the city as well, practicing foreign languages and having a lot of fun.
Last but not least, there are buddies, also an indispensable part of our organisation. A buddy is the foreign student´s "first friend" in the new place – he helps him with accomodation, shopping, travelling through the city and everything one needs to know when one arrives in an unknown city. If you are interested in becoming a buddy, contact your Faculty Buddy Coordinator.
An important part of ESN Team is also its Alumni members. They do not work for ESN anymore but still are considered to be one of us as they contributed to the organization.

Die Wallfahrtskirche Maria Rast ist eine viel besuchte Wallfahrtskirche auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Hainzenberg im Zillertal im österreichischen Bundesland Tirol. Sie gehört zur Pfarre Zell am Ziller in der Erzdiözese Salzburg. Das Patrozinium wird am 2. Juli (Mariä Heimsuchung) gefeiert. Die Kirche steht unter Denkmalschutz ().

Lage
Die Kirche liegt etwa 150 Höhenmeter oberhalb von Zell am Ziller in den Zillertaler Alpen im ehemaligen Goldbergbaurevier von Hainzenberg. Sie ist über die Gerlospassstraße (B 165) zu erreichen. Von Zell am Ziller aus führt ein Waldweg vorbei an 14 Kreuzwegstationen bis zur Wallfahrtskirche. Entlang des Weges befindet sich eine kleine Grotte, die 1870 von Bergknappen errichtet wurde. Wenige Meter neben der Kirche liegt das "Erste Schulhaus von Hainzenberg".

Rund um die Kirche ist der geschützte Landschaftsteil Umgebung der Wallfahrtskirche Maria Rast ausgewiesen.

Geschichte
1659 ließ der der erste Dekan von Zell am Ziller die erste Kirche Maria Rast auf dem Hainzenberg bauen. Anderen Überlieferungen zufolge wird die Kirche als "Knappenkapelle" bezeichnet, die von den Bergleuten des Goldbergwerkes am Hainzenberg gestiftet wurde. Die seinerzeit als kleine Holzkapelle errichtete Kirche wurde im Jahre 1738 durch die in der heutigen Form bestehende Wallfahrtskirche ersetzt. 1741 wurden Deckengemälde mit Darstellungen aus dem Leben der Gottesmutter Maria geschaffen. Der Rokokoaltar wurde 1748 eingebaut. Die Einweihung der Kirche fand im Jahr 1756 statt.

1914 lockerte sich infolge eines Felssturzes der Untergrund der Kirche. Der talseitige Turm und andere Bauteile mussten daraufhin abgetragen werden. Die durch den Felssturz entstandenen Schäden wurden bis zum September 1922 soweit repariert, dass die Einrichtungsgegenstände wieder in die Kirche gebracht werden konnten. Im Juni 1923 konnte die Kapelle feierlich eingesegnet werden. Ein Teil der Kapelle hängt weiterhin gesichert über dem Abgrund.

Ausstattung
Der Rokokohochaltar mit dem Gnadenbild (Muttergottesstatue mit Jesuskind) wird flankiert vom Heiligen Johannes Nepomuk, dem Heiligen Erasmus sowie von acht Engeln. Die Seitenaltare sind dem Heiligen Josef und der Heiligen Notburga (Tiroler Volksheilige) geweiht. Die fünf bemalten Kirchenfenster zeigen den Besuch Mariens bei Elisabet (Heimsuchung), den Heiligen Aloisius mit Muttergottes und Jesuskind, die Kreuzigung sowie Johannes den Täufer und den Heiligen Jakobus. Das Deckengemälde aus dem Jahre 1741 zeigt vier Ereignisse aus dem Leben Mariens. An den Wänden werden die 14 Kreuzwegstationen dargestellt. In der Kirche befinden sich Statuen des Heiligen Blasius, des Heiligen Christophorus, der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien und der Heiligen Barbara (Schutzheilige des Bergbaus).

Sagen
Im Zusammenhang mit der Wallfahrtskirche existieren mehrere Sagen.

Schwarz gefleckte Taube
Einer der Zimmermänner verletzte sich beim Bau der Kirche schwer. Eine schwarz gefleckte Taube trug die blutigen Holzspäne an eine andere Stelle. Dies wurde als ein Zeichen des Himmels gewertet und man begann den Bau dort neu, wo die Kirche heute steht.

Drei weiße Raben
Nach dem Fällen einer mächtigen Buche auf dem Hainzenberg entdeckten die Holzknechte im Wurzelwerk ein Marienbild. Sie beschlossen, an der Fundstelle ein Kirchlein zu errichten. Am nächsten Tag trugen drei weiße Raben das Marienbild an den Rand des Berges. Die Arbeiter werteten dies als Zeichen des Himmels und erbauten das Kirchlein dort. Weil die Gottesmutter in der Kirche wieder eine Ruhestätte gefunden hatte, nannte man sie "Maria Rast".

Die Kröte auf Maria Rast
Der Messner der Kapelle sah oft vor der Tür des Kirchleins eine große, hässliche Kröte sitzen und stieß sie immer mit dem Fuß fort. Nachdem sie immer wieder kam, ließ er sie einmal hinein. Seitdem wurde sie nie mehr gesehen. Man erzählt, dass es eine büßende Prinzessin gewesen sei, die so lange als hässliche Kröte leiden musste, bis sie einmal in die Kapelle gelassen wurde.

There are extremely talented potential filmmakers out there that never make a movie because they just can't bring themselves to take the leap of faith. Saying yes to making a movie starts with an attitude that regardless if your movie is entertaining or terrible at least you give it an honest go to see if you got the fire in you to make movies.
In the world of making of movies, especially at the indie film level, there are zero guarantees that every aspiring filmmaker that sets out to go from screenplay to distributed movie will make it to the end. Making movies is risky creatively and financially. Sometimes a movie falls apart during pre-production, filming or in post-production for lots of different reasons.
Making a movie to me is like gambling. You try your best as a filmmaker to tilt the odds in your favor as much as possible so you can win. Professional gamblers make educated bets and so should filmmakers. The one thing that successful gamblers and filmmakers need is the attitude that they are going to go all in on their movie making risk.
Saying yes to making a movie is really putting your ass out there creatively and financially. Many indie films are funded through family, friends, online movie crowd funding or your own cash. I'm still on the fence if it's harder to say yes to making a movie with money from family and friends and your own pocket or to deal with film investors.
Honestly, using online movie crowd funding to me is risk free filmmaking. The people that donate aren't giving you money expecting to ever see anything back or get a return on investment. It's like gambling with a bankroll that's free. When I donate money to the people that set up shop outside of stores I don't expect anything back when I put money in the box or bucket.
It's like lending money to that one relative or friend that you know will never be able to pay it back, but you like them and still want to help them out without holding it over their head.
When you use money from family, friends, your own money or film investors cash there is a much stronger sense to get the movie done in my opinion. No filmmaker wants to face family, friends or film investors and say they couldn't finish the movie. Friends and family are always forgiving in the end, but you'll still feel an emotional letdown if you can't deliver a finished movie like you told them you would.
Film investors are not forgiving and will cut you off from future film funds. They can write off the loss, but your reputation will take a hit and you'll lose out on them investing in your movies in the future. Finding money to make movies is harder than making the movie. Without film financing you only have a screenplay and a movie making dream keeping you company.
I always like to try to put out the brutal honesty first before getting to the feel good part of things. The great thing about saying yes to making a movie is you're moving from being one of the people that only talks about making movies and never does it.
When you're not even in the game you can't win or lose. You sit on the creative sidelines as a spectator thinking "woulda, coulda, shoulda" about your movie making passion. When you mentally commit to taking the creative leap of faith you'll feel a rush of genuine excitement. That's living!
You're movie making fire is now lit and you're ready to roll. You're no longer going to be a talented potential filmmaker. You will be a filmmaker doer. Each movie project is different, but here are few thoughts that might help sharpen you're movie production. This isn't for aspiring filmmakers that want to write a screenplay that needs a million dollar budget.
Thoughts on Making Movies
First, think of your marketing and distribution plan before writing the screenplay. This gives you the chance to think of movie product placement and other marketing avenues you can write into the screenplay to boost earning potential.
Second, before writing a screenplay think about the film budget you will need and where you plan on getting that money. Indie filmmakers are masters at writing screenplays based on what their resources are.
I know it sounds like the craft of screenwriting should come first, but for a first time indie filmmaker it's important to understand making movies is a business. You need to be able to exploit, yes exploit, as many marketing and product placement opportunities as possible.
Family and friends will invest in you because of your relationship, but still respect their hard earned money like you would if they were film investors you didn't know. Avoid being sloppy with paperwork. Give them the same kind of investor package you would if you were pitching to a film investor that wanted a return on investment.
Make sure the locked screenplay is tight as possible before spending one dollar of film investor money. A screenplay that is overwritten and packed with fluff will burn through production money fast.
During filming don't take the approach studio budget movies do. You're not going to be able to have 20 takes of scene to get it right. There's not enough money in an indie film budget to shoot it with a Hollywood filmmaker mentality.
You're really have to get in there on set and kickass on scenes. Not every take you're going to love or even like, but it's a time issue when shooting indie films. You have to be able to accept you're not going to have the luxury of doing take after take.
When a scene is covered move on and don't look back even if it didn't turn out how you envisioned. Being take happy during filming will lead to you running out of money and having an unfinished film that will need finishing funds to complete.
Tackle post-production with the same attitude you did on set to get the movie done.
Film investors will ride your ass unlike family or friends when it comes to when the movie will be done, sold and their money paid. Don't get shaken or take it personally. The business world is not warm and fuzzy full of hugs and kisses.
At the end when you finish your movie you will have a feeling like none you've ever had before. It's a creative climax saying yes to making a movie.
It beats the hell out of only talking about making movies. Good luck with your future film and cheers.

Q: phpseclib 2 RSA decryption works fine but phpseclib 3 RSA decryption not work properly phpseclib2 sample - working
use phpseclib\Crypt\RSA;
$rsa = new RSA();
$rsa->loadKey($PRIVATE_KEY);
$key = $rsa->decrypt(base64_decode($a));

phpseclib3 sample - not working
use phpseclib3\Crypt\PublicKeyLoader;

$private = PublicKeyLoader::load($PRIVATE_KEY);
$key = $private->decrypt(base64_decode($a));

A: Both V2 and V3 use OAEP by default for RSA, but V2 uses SHA1 as the default for the OAEP and MGF1 digest, while V3 uses SHA256 (s. here and here).
So in order for a decryption that works with V2 to also work with V3, the digests in V3 must be explicitly set to SHA1:

The Schipperke has a can-do attitude. He is quick-thinking and quick-moving. He is unaware of his small size, and eagerly enters into play with dogs of any kind or size.
The Schipperke originated in the Flemish provinces of Belgium.
Schip means boat, schipper means captain of the boat and schipperke means "little captain of the boat".The dogs were used on the canal barges to guard the boat and catch the vermin. From there the name little captain.
Schipperke's are sometimes called "the best house dog" and very fond of children.
So you want to own a Schipperke?

A: Link both tables with id and order_Id and create a group using order_ID. Now place the products in detail section.


Rumor and slander tend to get worse as they spread. The power of many people all talking about something is to be feared, because even correct information has a tendency to get altered or distorted. The phrase invokes the terrifying power of a smelter, which can reduce even strong metals to liquid.
We begin with compound noun 衆口 (shuukou), literally "the mouth of the masses," i.e. something that many people are talking about. A possible clarifying particle is elided, and we move straight to a verb phrase. This is the verb 鑠く (toku), "to melt," with the particle を (wo) marking the noun 金 (kin), "gold," or by extension "metal," as its direct object. The verb appears in imperfective form, with causative suffix す (su), in sentence-final form.
This saying comes to us from the Discourses of the States (國語, in current Japanese 国語, Kokugo), a 4th century BCE compilation of speeches ("discourses") attributed to various famous historical figures.

In this latest account of the arrogance and unfulfilled promises of the international corporations that produce genetically modified (GM) foods, Peter Pringle takes on a formidable challenge. At the behest of the Rockefeller Foundation, which funded this study, he resolves to explore and demystify the language and politics of GM agriculture from the "eerily deserted" middle ground.
In challenging both the "bland assurances" of the proponents of this technology and the "scaremongering" of "environmental ideologues," he invokes the proverbial plague on both their houses. Contrary to his intention, however, Food, Inc. demonstrates how difficult it is to maintain neutrality in debates about the necessity or value of GM foods. Instead, this book is a compelling indictment of corporate power exercised under the guise of altruism.
Food, Inc. presents lively and colorful accounts of events on the biotechnology battlefield -- the successes and failures of the Green Revolution; the development and fate of Flavr Savr tomatoes, Golden Rice and StarLink Corn; the effects of GM corn on Monarch butterflies; the escape of bioengineered genes into Mexican native corn and organic crops; the refusal of African nations to accept GM crops as food aid. He also takes on less familiar topics, among them the history of rice cultivation, Soviet searches for new staple plants and the botanical mysteries of apomixis (asexual plant reproduction).
In preparing this book, he talked to most of the leading participants in debates about GM foods, represents their views fairly and, as promised, neither rants nor raves. He gets the science right and enables any reader to understand the arcane language of this trade -- Cry9c proteins, PG gene cassettes, nptII genes, 35s promoters. In explaining the science in each case, Pringle develops one overarching theme: how international corporations use genetic techniques to accomplish an "intellectual property grab" and control food production.
Although companies insist that their purpose is to increase the agricultural productivity of the developing world, they patent GM techniques and products; patenting corrupts that promise. Ironically, the scientists developing the most frequently cited example of the potential benefits of GM foods -- rice enriched with beta-carotene -- had to negotiate their way around dozens of privately held patents. The patenting of indigenous plants -- basmati rice, jasmine rice, the neem tree, azufrado beans -- treats developing nations as nothing more than markets waiting to be tapped. International intellectual property agreements further support the appropriation of poor countries' genetic resources by a "growing army of clever patent lawyers, mostly American, who [file] increasingly complex and broad claims."
To enforce patent rights, corporations lobby governments; governments do little to intervene when companies take even unintentional patent violators to court. Although corporations claim that GM foods will prevent worldwide malnutrition, their true intent is a "mining operation -- extracting maximum output from the land in the shortest possible time" with little concern about environmental consequences and only the barest evidence of environmental benefits. In documenting these charges, Food, Inc. presents a dismaying account of the "arrogance of corporate control and the failure of government regulations."
But what of the ideologues who oppose GM foods? Pringle identifies three types: rejectionists, who deny the value of GM foods for religious, environmental or safety reasons; reformists, who demand labeling of GM foods; and organic growers, who are threatened by the incursion of wayward GM genes into their crops. Foundations, he says, pour millions of dollars into such groups. (But which foundations or groups? He doesn't say.) Although most antibiotechnology advocates issue "responsible challenges to an industry -- behaving irresponsibly," he faults their rejection of GM foods as scientific distortions and scaremongering exploitation of "tragic fears of GM" -- calling them Frankenfoods, for example.
GM groceries are not Frankenfoods, he says: "The changes are not inherently unsafe, nor are the companies that produce them inherently evil." Corporations hijacked the technology for their own purposes, and activists raised "awareness beyond its usefulness and turned it into scaremongering." But by what other means might the public act to raise questions about overweening corporate power unchecked by government oversight? Pringle provides no road map for advocacy. Instead, he urges biotechnology companies to get back on track, focus on fulfilling promises to feed the world, explain the science to the public, label GM foods and be more generous with patents. He wants the governments of rich countries to end agricultural subsidies so poor nations can compete on international markets.

There are quite a lot of recordings,mostly cylinders,here are two;
Recollections of 1861-65 (Trumpet Solo), performed by Edna White
Edison 80613-R, recorded 1921
RealAudio version of this recording.
WAV version of this recording.  There were many Civil War veterans among the audience members of American variety shows,   and the selections played here would have been familiar to all.  The Edison Company catalog,   circa 1927, comments not only on the music, but also the novelty of the recording artist:   "Not   many women play the trumpet, and for this reason alone "Recollections of 1861-65" will arouse   a great deal of curiosity.  Some years ago, concert goers were given a new thrill by a female   quartet of trumpet players, headed by Miss Edna White, who was a pioneer in the field of such   music.  Her trumpeters wore white robes and reminded one of Fra Angelico's angels.  This record   is a special arrangement of famous bugle calls, together with some of the songs associated with   the war between the States.  Following is their order:   Adjutant's Call,'  Just Before the Battle,   Mother,'  Mess Call,'  When Johnny Comes Marching Home,'  Assemble Call,'  We'er
Tenting   To-night,' and  Taps.'

An interesting question. Reply to me or the list and I will forward to

You have several recordings by Polk Miller.   Miller, a great favorite
of Mark Twain, and a now all but forgotten once major American
musician,  may be best remembered for the pet products he produced for
his dog "Sergeant."  "Sergeant's" is still a best selling brand after
over a century.
Miller was a Confederate soldier, took his banjo along to war, and
served in the same Batteries as my great grandfathers.
You have a copy of his singing "The Bonnie Blue Flag"; which with
"Dixie"  comprised  The South's two most popular National Songs.
Surely he  played this song hundreds of times in camp (See Ted Turner's
cameo comment in *Gods and Generals.),*   along  the road to Gettysburg
etc.  Surely my ancestors, whose saving his obituary etc. reflects a
friendship,  heard him regularly. .
It brings The War close to today.
But I wonder is this the only surviving rendition of one of the
two major Southern hymns, by a Confederate Soldier?
Is this the only surviving recording of a Civil War Song made by a
participant on either side?
There are millions of relics of The War, but I never thought there would
be an audible one.

The Actual 'Full House' Is For Sale, And It's Nothing Like You'd Expect.
Who can forget the iconic Victorian house with the red door from the TV show Full House. Located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighbourhood in San Francisco, the home looks nothing like the one from the show. The classic and sophisticated interior is a contrast to the colourful and often cluttered abode where the Tanners lived.
And any die hard that wants to live in this stunning home, you may be in luck as the house has been put up for sale. Before you decide to move to San Francisco the asking price is a mere $4.15 million. You may want to just enjoy getting a rare glimpse and tour of the famous place.
Full House first aired in 1987. It made actor John Stamos an instant heartthrob.
The show was originally going to be call House of Comics.
The Victorian home was built in 1883. It is considered a landmark in San Francisco from fans.
Although in the show the family lives in San Francisco, only one episode was actually filmed in this city.
The exterior has gotten a makeover, maybe it was done to avoid the unwanted attention.
Even with the red door painted a soft lime color, people still recognize the home and often fans are seen taking photos of the infamous house.
A look inside the famous home. The interior of the house was never used for the show.
Although it looks completely different in the interior from the actual show, this house is stunning.
The oldest and biggest of the seven houses known as the "Painted Ladies."
Neighbours often complain at the number of noisy fans and tourists who flock to the home.

Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
Tropical Storm Philippe no threat to land; Ophelia to make comeback?
By By Ken Kaye
Sep 27, 2011 | 4:58 AM
Tropical Storm Philippe continued moving northwest overnight with little change in strength. The system is no threat to land and likely will die in the eastern Atlantic.
At 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Philippe was about 735 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, lumbering northwest at 7 mph with sustained winds of 50 mph. The storm is not expected to strengthen into a hurricane.
In emerging on Saturday, Philippe, the 16th named storm of the season, puts this season on a faster pace than 2010, the third-busiest year on record.
Last year, the 16th storm formed on Oct. 11. That was Tropical Storm Paula, which later grew into a hurricane.
On the other hand, last year saw considerably more tropical intensity, at least to this date; by this time in 2010, six hurricanes had emerged, four of them major. So far this year, three hurricanes have formed, Irene, Katia and Maria.
Meanwhile, early Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center gave the remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia a 70 percent chance of regenerating into a tropical depression or storm.
The odds of development have been increased because upper level winds are expected to become more favorable, said senior hurricane specialist Richard Pasch.
Ex-Ophelia was centered a couple hundred miles north of the Leeward Islands and moving northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Before falling apart on Sunday afternoon, the system had been forecast to remain well clear of Florida and move generally toward Bermuda.

Streamtime developer Pius Jeon accepting an award for our Streamtime Web app.
As a company, we've had the pleasure of winning many industry awards over the years. Yes the entry process is often time consuming and at times costly, however we've found there are also many benefits to entering awards.
Being shortlisted for an award is great PR. Even if you don't win, it's an opportunity to promote yourself to new customers, find new supply channels and break into untapped markets.
Winning, being shortlisted or even just being nominated for a business award is a sure sign you're doing something right, and since it's a third party that is endorsing you, that also ups your credibility. If you're lucky enough to win, it is a great way to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and it can become that all important advantage in a pitch.
When filling in the application form, you're presented with an opportunity to reflect on your business offer. It can raise questions like: What do you do well? What could you be doing better? How do you talk about yourself? What evidence is there for your selling propositions? Focusing on these questions (and others) can help you better articulate your offer and differentiate yourself from the competition.
There are few better ways to show that you believe in the work that you do, than entering work on behalf of a client. Clients love to boast about award nominations and if you get to the finals, it's also a great chance to show them some extra love and take them along for the ride. It's also a great reminder on how well you work together.
Awards are a great way of recognising your employee's hard work and achievements, which can really boost morale. Increased employee moral can also help you attract the right sort of talent to your business. Taking staff to these events is not only a great team night out, but it is also a great chance for them to network, which in itself is promoting your business' greatest asset.
In fact, all of these and more are reasons why we believe in award ceremonies, and why we're sponsoring the Wirehive100awards on October 16th and the AGDA Design Awards on November 15th.


Sara Hanna Velarde, PhD, began her career in cancer research as a graduate student at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (UNC), where she focused on melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. Her graduate work investigated how transcription factors that are activated in low oxygen environments (hypoxia inducible factors) could contribute to metastasis. These studies instilled in Velarde a profound interest in cellular signaling and the role that these signaling pathways play in tumor growth and progression.
After receiving her doctorate, she moved on to a postdoctoral research position with Gary L. Johnson, PhD, also at UNC. Under Johnson's mentorship, Velarde is now applying her knowledge of melanoma biology to triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and in 2014, received the AACR-John and Elizabeth Leonard Family Foundation Basic Cancer Research Fellowship to support this work.

Velarde's fellowship term ended in June 2015, but she continues to work diligently towards her goal – to identify novel targets that can be used to develop greatly needed therapies for difficult to treat cancers like TNBC. "I am excited to continue this project and hope that the research can contribute to making therapy more effective for TNBC patients," she says.

Home Music Paul Wall Still Amazed By Comparisons To Eminem
Paul Wall Still Amazed By Comparisons To Eminem
Paul Wall is one of the most unique white rappers, but he's still compared to rappers such as Eminem and Macklemore. Even though there aren't many things common in between these artists, the comparisons keep swirling around.
These comparisons are all around Twitter once again. The white-rapper debate on Twitter is a recurring topic that trends every once in a while. Due to these debates, the Houston rapper has trended on Twitter twice in this year alone.
Wall is considered to be an original by many of his fans. A fan stated on Twitter that Wall "was the only white rapper that didn't try to sound like Eminem." That tweet went bananas online, causing many fans to chime in. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle's, Wall shared his thoughts on his comparisons with other white rappers.
Every time I see it, it's always, like, amazing to me, just cuz I kind of stay relatively out of the limelight. To be honest, when I see that, the criticism is still valid. It's kind of like a Hip Hop audit — and it's not even just for Hip Hop. It's just in general, in entertainment and just across the globe.
Paul Wall still has a lot going for him. As many fans on Twitter acknowledge his originality, many artists such as Kanye West, Bun B and Raekwon. Wall is hitting 40, so it's fitting for him to get immense recognition for all his years of dropping quality music.

O My Gauge
O (my) gauge!
For fans of the bigger railway layout (and here we are referring to loco size, not track miles!), Aston's forthcoming sale on 3 November will be something to savour. Up for auction will be the entire collection of the late Professor Maurice Shutler of Warwick, who was a keen O gauge devotee and who had been collecting for over 50 years. So big was his collection that when the family moved, a three storey house was the order of the day, with the third floor – yes, you guessed it – given over entirely to his all-consuming hobby. In all, there will be some 200 locomotives going under the hammer, together with accessories and buildings, some of which date back to the 1920s. Aston's Chris Aston estimates that the collection could net between £50,000 and £80,000 – that's a measure of the quality of the items to be sold. Needless to say, it represents the biggest single owner collection that the auction house has ever dealt with to date.
Among the lots will be an O gauge Hornby Princess Royal class 4-6-2, No.6201. This is the highly desirable Princess Elizabeth model, running on 20 volt electrics. Overall condition is put at good, with some repainting and touching up. The loco is housed in an original, fitted box, and carries a price guide of £850-1,000.
A pre-war O gauge Bassett Lowke 4472 Flying Scotsman will also feature in the sale and is expected to make £300-400. Back to Hornby and model 4073, an example of the Caerphilly Castle, which is finished in the striking Great Western green livery. The loco is described as having had some restoration and could make £140-180. Another interesting Hornby item is the reference 1759 4-4-0 electric Southern L1 tender locomotive. The auctioneer notes that this example has been professionally restored and comes with a reproduction box. Its estimate is £250-350. Finally, another Hornby O gauge, this a 20 volt electric Southern Schools class locomotive, the Eton. This particular example has benefited from some restoration and will be auctioned with a reproduction box: it carries a guide of £250-350.

Q: Why does the gcc linker behave differently with .a files and .o files? Using the example from this great answer about the link order in gcc, I tried the following:
echo 'extern int b; int a = b;' > b.cpp
g++ -c b.cpp -o b.o
ar cr libb.a b.o

echo 'int b;' > d.cpp
g++ -c d.cpp -o d.o
ar cr libd.a d.o

echo 'extern int a; int main() { return a; }' > a.cpp

g++ a.cpp -o a1 d.o b.o # Works
g++ a.cpp -o a2 libd.a libb.a # Fails

If the .a file is simply an archive file containing one or several .o files, how come linking with the lib*.a files (in the wrong order, as stated in the original answer) fails, but using the .o files directly (in the same order) works?

A: As far as the linker is concerned, the difference between a static library and an object file
in the linkage sequence is:-

*

*An object file is to be linked, just because it is an object file, whether or not it provides
definitions of any symbols that the executable needs. If you don't want an object
file to be linked, don't mention it to the linker.

*A static library is an archive of object files that are to be extracted from the
library and linked if required, where an object file in a library is required
if and only if it provides a definition of at least one hitherto undefined
symbol that the linker has observed in an object file or library appearing earlier in
the linkage sequence.
