Unai Emery's original Arsenal 'captain's group' - and how they've fared at club
The Spaniard has now appointed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - who wasn't in the original group - as his new skipper
by Mark Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mark-jones/“I had a meeting with him and told him he is no longer in the captain’s group."
And with that it was done.
Granit Xhaka was Arsenal's de-facto skipper for a little more than a month, as the Swiss midfielder saw his role - a role that his teammates voted to give him earlier this season - taken away from him and given to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in those words from Unai Emery at his press conference in Portugal on Tuesday.
For Xhaka, the situation had become somewhat untenable ever since his now infamous substitution against Crystal Palace last month, but he is far from the first member of Emery's trusted "captain's group" to fall by the wayside during the Spaniard's time at the club.
The former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss arrived in North London in the summer of 2018, fresh on the heels of the retirement of club captain Per Mertesacker.
He needed a replacement, and so named five of them.
“The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment,” he told the Gunners website .
“After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.
“I want leaders in the team, every player at every time to have the capacity to show leadership, but these are the five players who have a possibility to be the captain.”
Like Spinal Tap getting a new drummer, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, this...
Laurent Koscielny
The logical choice for Emery's first club captain, Koscielny was largely loved by Gunners fans after arriving in 2010, with only injuries standing in the way of his progress as one of the leading defenders in the game.
A club stalwart and often club hero, things went sour after another injury-hit campaign in 2018/19, after which he demanded to be allowed to leave the club for free, refused to go on a pre-season tour to America, went on strike and eventually joined Bordeaux.
What leadership.
Petr Cech
Emery would have known that the veteran goalkeeper was coming to the end of his career when he named him in the group, and sure enough the 2018/19 campaign proved to be his last as a professional.
He managed 22 games across the season, often skippering the sides in the cups, before calling it a day after the 4-1 Europa League final defeat to his former club Chelsea , who he promptly joined a technical and performance advisor, whatever that is.
Oh and he now plays ice hockey too .
Aaron Ramsey
The Welshman's contract situation was seen as something that Emery would sort out upon his arrival, but it was ultimately allowed to slide.
Having been an Arsenal player since 2008, the midfielder and his camp were unable to agree on a new deal, with his existing one running down to the point of expiry as he joined Juventus on a free transfer.
This one still feels like it could have been avoided.
Mesut Ozil
An increasingly curious presence in the squad, Emery will have known all about the German's qualities and reputation upon his arrival at Arsenal, but his character is something he perhaps wouldn't have been prepared for.
Ozil has flitted in and out of Emery's plans, and he's played just three times in the current season, including just once in the Premier League.
Presumably still in the 'captains group', there was no serious chance of him becoming first-choice skipper.
Granit Xhaka
After the departure of Koscielny led to a player vote to decide the next skipper, the general public's reaction to Xhaka winning that vote was largely a mixture of shock and ridicule.
The Swiss has never been an overly popular figure with many, and his reaction to being substituted against Crystal Palace last month - and subsequent statement - proved to be the final straw.
Good luck Pierre!

crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:39 AM
lol maybe they incorrectly assumed guys knowledgable about all the details of the KMD code wouldn't get in the wreck the place?
bishop27-Mar-19 02:40 AM
Again, this is a year old
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:40 AM
when this happened doesn't matter
bishop27-Mar-19 02:40 AM
why it is being brought up again when the KMD community offered help is beyond me
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:40 AM
no matter how you slice it, the safecoin developers were warned about an issue. it's documented on github. they ignored it, and subsequently someone mined coins using their ignored vulnerability.
bishop27-Mar-19 02:40 AM
yep
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:41 AM
those people who warned them reached out to safecoin and as far as I know, helped them fix it.
they have helped fix other bugs after that incident too
but they aren't komodo team members and much less attacking safecoin
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:41 AM
okay so I'll move on
what happens to the coins utilizing KMD if the project dies or stops functioning?
bishop27-Mar-19 02:42 AM
each coin created on the platform is its own blockchain
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:42 AM
they can notarize themselves to another chain if they wish
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:42 AM
really, so they can just not use KMD and pay the fee or whatever that KMD requires?
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:43 AM
they would need their own notary infrastructure or at least a way to create the same type of consensus
it wouldn't be as simple as pressing a button
bishop27-Mar-19 02:43 AM
the fee is for the security and consensus KMD's platform provides
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:43 AM
but the blockchains would be fine
bishop27-Mar-19 02:43 AM
if you have enough hashing power, you don't need to be dpow'd
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:44 AM
lol nobody has enough hashing power but BTC, maybe ETH
bishop27-Mar-19 02:44 AM
but many of the small projects do not
hell some of the larger projects are vulnerable to nicehash
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:44 AM
yup
bishop27-Mar-19 02:45 AM
the fee is reasonable when you think about the cost today. You can build a stash of KMD today that allows the rewards to finance the cost of dpow for the next 10-12 years and then when the rewards stop, you have the underlying principal you can source from
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:45 AM
alright I'll stop peppering you guys with Qs for now, I'll be back
PTYX27-Mar-19 02:46 AM
@crunchycat what's your goal with the questions?
aficionado or reporter?
crunchycat27-Mar-19 02:46 AM
balls deep in the crypto game, learning what I can about projects
@notsofast @VeriBlock Could happen since @VeriBlock will give shitcoins better security than BTC itself. Plus it's completely decentralized, trustless, transparent, and permissionless.  Doh
carry on
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴27-Mar-19 03:10 AM
I was drawing a parallel
bishop27-Mar-19 03:10 AM
I know
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:10 AM
@crunchycat what's the current cost to PoP?
for example if i wanted to secure my blockchain for one year on a blockchain that has 60 second blocks?
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:14 AM
would depend on how the altcoin using VBK to secure their chain wanted to set it up.
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:15 AM
that includes the btc and the vbk cost?

Misnomer?
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:20 AM
So anyway.... say you allot 1% of block rewards to pop miners, that will use VBK themselves to secure your chain to the VBK chain (and the BTC by extension). Economics would determine the level of security you'd get, with number/frequency equalizing with the price of VBK and the altcoin
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:20 AM
So at current price it would cost me around $19,000 a year to use PoP at 6 notarizations per hour assuming the txfee stays at current price.
I'm using some random website to look at bitcoin fees based on block size. it says a standard tx is 250 bytes(edited)
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:21 AM
what do you mean "it would cost me"?
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:22 AM
If i launched a blockchain and wanted to use vbk to secure it
i have no idea what vbk can or can't do
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:22 AM
It would cost you a % of your block rewards, for the service of pop miners
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:22 AM
but assuming it does what dpow does
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:22 AM
same as how POW miners get paid
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:22 AM
so do i pay vbk miners the cost in my own native coin?(edited)
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:23 AM
but instead of only 64 notaries or whatever, it would be decentralized
you allot a portion of block rewards to be used to incentivize pop miners
fork the coin and change the block reward
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:24 AM
where does the BTC come from then to notarize?
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:24 AM
the altcoin pop miners spend VBK to secure the altcoin to the VBK chain, then the VBK pop miners spend btc to secure the VBK chain to the BTC chain
hell I'm spending BTC right now pop mining the VBK chain to the BTC chain
Gordon Komodo27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
@crunchycat so you are assuming that miners won't be pooling into less than 64 pools? so more decentralized?
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
lol there is no "pooling" of pop miners
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
ok so it's similar how a komodo assechain notarizes unto komodo and subsequently komodo notarizes unto bitcoin.
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
yes
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
and I pay the miners in my own native coin to secure my blockchain(edited)
which can be worthless
1
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:25 AM
but decentralized in that anybody with the tech knowhow can pop mine
yes
but like I said, how many and how often they pop mine will be determined by how much incentive they have to do it
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:26 AM
where does VBK get the bitcoin to keep notarizing (forever) if the blockchains that it's protecting aren't adding any value to the network?(edited)
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:27 AM
the pop miners, like me, spend the BTC to "notarize" the VBK chain to the BTC chain
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:27 AM
yes, i understand that concept
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:27 AM
I'm incentivized to do it based on how many VBK I get and what it's worth
Crabby Paddy27-Mar-19 03:27 AM
So you sacrifice Btc in hopes the native coin paid is worth it for you financially?
meatspoon27-Mar-19 03:28 AM
When i read "crunchycat" and also see a soft mound of poo with an endearing smile, my mind malfunctions. It is very distracting. I am formally requesting that you change your avatar to something more crispedly feline.(edited)
crunchycat27-Mar-19 03:28 AM
@Crabby Paddy yes
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:28 AM
right, but if VBK is securing mostly worthless chains, how is this self sustaining?
Hollowman900027-Mar-19 03:28 AM
When vbk drops to single shitoshis?

Crabby Paddy27-Mar-19 03:29 AM
Do pop miners get to choose what to mine or not mine
What if they collaborate to not mine a chain for their own purposes
Or if not, what if they’re forced to mine 10000 worthless chains
PTYX27-Mar-19 03:30 AM
yeah, what about collusion to exclude certain blockchains from the network


PRACTICAL MAGIC RATING: 3 / 10 --> Crap on a stick
For more reviews and movie screensavers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
PLOT: Two sister witches have to live with a curse placed upon their family, which prevents them from ever enjoying a full life with a lover. The hex invokes the eventual demise of their loved one. When one of their past loves comes back to haunt them, they have to figure a way out of their eternal dilemma.
CRITIQUE: I've been waiting for a good witch movie for a while now, but hold on to your brooms and incantations, cause this puppy is far from being it! For a film that has the word "magic" in its title, this movie contains very few moments of magic...or humor for that matter, drama, suspense, or romance. Well actually, there is some manufactured romance within a plot that is so muddled, it never lets you in on whether it's a comedy, a drama, a horror show, or a murder mystery. Or maybe it's a romance, eh? It doesn't really matter, cause the characters in the film are so boring and uninteresting, that you have absolutely no basis on which to care for them, or the film as a whole. If only the filmmakers had spent as much time on the plot as they did the sinfully obvious soundtrack, this film might've had a chance to be more than what it is now.  I only wish that I could make that one hour and forty-five minutes of my life re-appear, but alas, it is lost in the spiritual world of "interesting ideas gone wildly awry".
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: This film is based on the novel written by Alice Hoffman. Co-screenwriter Akiva Goldsman also wrote the screenplay for 1997's BATMAN & ROBIN. Director Griffin Dunne is known mainly as an actor in such films as AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and AFTER HOURS.
Review Date: May 23, 1999 Director: Griffin Dunne Writers: Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman and Adam Brooks Producer: Denise DiNovi Actors: Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens Aidan Quinn as Gary Hallet Genre: Drama Year of Release: 1998 --------------------------------------- JoBlo's Movie Emporium http://www.joblo.com --------------------------------------- (c) 1999 Berge Garabedian

Opções de deploy
Play applications can be deployed virtually anywhere: inside Servlet containers, as standalone servers, on Heroku, Google Application Engine, Stack, a Cloud, etc...
Aplicação Play standalones
The simplest and the most robust way is to simply run your Play application without any container. You can use a frontal HTTP server like Lighttpd or Apache if you need more advanced HTTP features like virtual hosting.
The built-in HTTP server can serve thousands of HTTP requests per second so it will never be the performance bottleneck. Moreover it uses a more efficient threading model (where a Servlet container uses 1 thread per request). Different modules allow you to use different servers (Grizzly, Netty, etc...) as well.
Those servers support long polling and allow to manage very long requests (waiting for a long task to complete), and direct streaming of File objects (and any InputStream if you specify the Content-Length), without blocking the execution thread.
You will have fewer problems running your application this way, as you will use the same environment that you used during the development process. A lot of bugs can be discovered only when you deploy to a JEE application server (different home dir, classloader issues, library conflicts, etc...).
Please refer to the 'Put your application in production' page for more information.
Java EE application servers
Your Play application can also run inside your favorite application server. Most application servers are supported out of the box.
Supported application servers
The following application servers are known to work with Play. Please feel free to report any other working deployment.
- JBoss 4.2.x
- JBoss 5.x
- JBoss 6M2
- Glassfish v3
- IBM Websphere 6.1
- IBM Websphere 7
- Geronimo 2.x
- Tomcat 6.x
- Jetty 7.x
- Resin 4.0.5
Deploying
You need to package your application as a WAR file. This is easily done with the following command:
play war myapp -o myapp.war
Please note that your application server must support deployment of exploded WAR files.

You are advised to ‘isolate’ your Play application from the other applications to avoid version mismatches between the application libraries. This step is not standardized by the JEE/Servlet specification, and is therefore vendor-specific.
We recommend you refer to your application server manual in order to ‘isolate’ your WAR. As an example below is how you isolate a war file in JBoss Application server. Note that this is an optional step:
Insert the following content (or create the file) in your application war directory at myapp.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml
:
<jboss-web>
<class-loading java2classloadingcompliance="false">
<loader-repository>
com.example:archive=unique-archive-name
<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
</loader-repository>
</class-loading>
</jboss-web>
Replace com.example:archive=unique-archive-name with whatever you wish as long as it is unique.
Datasource
Play also supports Datasource and resource look-up. To use a JNDI Datasource, set the database configuration as shown below:
db=java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb
jpa.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect
jpa.ddl=verify
The database plugin detects the pattern db=java:
and will de-activate the default JDBC system.
Custom web.xml
Some application servers, such as IBM Websphere, require you to declare a datasource in a resource-ref
element in the Servlet API’s web.xml
configuration file. By default, web.xml
is a file that is generated by Play when you execute the play war
command. To customise the generated web.xml
, generate the exploded WAR version, then copy the generated web.xml
file to the war/WEB-INF
folder in your application. The next time you will execute the play war
command, it will copy your custom web.xml
from to the generated folder.
For instance, to declare a datasource for IBM Websphere 7, we can declare a resource-ref
in our war/WEB-INF/web.xml
file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

‘Sweet’ rabbit rescued after being found with his favourite teddy bear
A rabbit has been rescued by the RSPCA after being found in a cardboard box with a teddy bear.
The grey lop-eared rabbit has been named Nigel by RSPCA staff, and is being cared for by an animal boarding facility in Kent after being found by the side of the road in Lewisham on Tuesday.
Nigel was found with a grey teddy bear by a member of the public, and will be rehomed if his owners are not found.
Animal collection officer Lisa Miller, who collected Nigel, said: “This poor rabbit had been abandoned in a box in very cold conditions but luckily a kind member of the public spotted him and contacted us.
“He looked so sweet hopping around carrying his little teddy bear. He’s clearly quite attached to the bear, so he must have been living in a home before this.
“No pet should be left out in the cold and vulnerable like this. Nigel was very lucky that he was found when he was.”

In theory, nothing
I am surprised the arrow didn't work
The reason is because the rewrite tactic is explicitly checking that the lhs is not a variable. The idea here is that if you rewrite with something that matches any term, you will not get a useful result. This check is wrong for two reasons: (1) the variable is not a metavariable, and even if it was that might still be a reasonable thing to do if the type of the variable is constraining enough; and (2) it's always the lhs, not the rhs, even if you use <-
.
Isn't at least point 2) something that could change in Lean 3.8?
both could be fixed in lean 3.8
There is nothing wrong with the algorithm, there is just a check that throws an exception. Delete the check and everything else should work
I meant that point 2) sounds like a plain bug, whereas point 1) is debatable.
I think that the part of 1) about not matching variables that are not metavariables / universally quantified variables is also a bug. For example in the example above, we are rewriting with an equality in the context, which can only match a
, not anything else with the same type as a
The only time the error is reasonable is if you are rewriting with \forall x, x = ...
, so that the pattern can match any term

Benefits of GOV.UK PaaS
Using GOV.UK PaaS means teams can deploy and run applications without having to build and manage their own infrastructure. This avoids unnecessary repetition across government, with infrastructure and webops engineers spending less time solving the same problems.
Service teams can:
- save time and money on setting up a hosting infrastructure
- deploy and run applications written in a range of languages and frameworks
- rapidly scale applications
- easily manage applications
- get 24 hour platform-level support
- get started easily with a simple procurement process
What it is
GOV.UK PaaS is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and runs from AWS’s European data centre in Ireland. The PaaS is:
- resilient since it operates across three independent availability zones
- able to support a PostgreSQL database service (powered by AWS)
- accredited for handling information classified as Official
- built on an open source platform (Cloud Foundry) and deployed to a public cloud
- flexible since applications aren’t locked into one cloud provider
The PaaS is already being used by the GOV.UK Trade Tariff live service, as well as several services building prototypes.
Find out more about GOV.UK PaaS. This includes how it’s built, run and supported, as well as how to use it.
What you pay for
You pay for what you use, like hosting, compute resource and backing services such as a database. The Government Digital Service will pay for building and maintaining the platform.
The overall cost depends on factors such as the number of environments you deploy to, the size and number of your applications and whether they need to have high availability.
Criteria for deploying an application to the PaaS

A Quick Look at Riot.js
Web Components Made Easy
By Chris Cauley
Why Riot?
- Lightweight - several times smaller than most libraries
- Simple - it’s just javascript, html, and css
- Plays well with others
- Actively developed (v4.0 coming soon)
- Very stable
Why not Riot?
- No two way binding, state, or routing (but you can add it)
- Maybe too lightweight for some
- Community is not as large as others
- Not as many 3rd party libraries
Expressions (template syntax)
- 100% javascript
- Single braces (can be changed to pretty much anything)
- Scoped: this -> parent tag -> ... -> window
- Strings are HTML-escaped (to avoid XSS)
- HTML attributes evaluate with special short-hand syntax
Tag Context Variables
- In a tag, this.opts is an object passed in when a tab is mounted
- Attributes on the tag overwrite values here
Lifecycle Events
- Custom JS executed at every stage of a tags existence
- before-mount/mount - When riot.mount is called
- update/updated - After mount and any time an internal event happens
- before-unmount/unmount - When the tag is destroyed
In conclusion
- Riot is very simple and quick to learn
- If you already know Javascript, you pretty much know riot
- Questions?

Deploy PowerShell Lambda functions with .zip file archives
A deployment package for the PowerShell runtime contains your PowerShell script, PowerShell modules that are required for your PowerShell script, and the assemblies needed to host PowerShell Core.
Tools and libraries
Lambda provides the following sample applications for the PowerShell runtime:
Tools and libraries for PowerShell
-
AWS Lambda and AWS Tools for PowerShell: the steps to install PowerShell, the .NET Core 2.1 SDK, and the
AWSLambdaPSCore
module. -
aws-lambda-dotnet
: Lambda tools for Powershell on GitHub.
The AWSLambdaPSCore module has the following new cmdlets to help author and publish PowerShell Lambda functions:
AWSLambdaPSCore cmdlets
-
Get-AWSPowerShellLambdaTemplate – Returns a list of getting started templates.
-
New-AWSPowerShellLambda – Creates an initial PowerShell script based on a template.
-
Publish-AWSPowerShellLambda – Publishes a given PowerShell script to Lambda.
-
New-AWSPowerShellLambdaPackage – Creates a Lambda deployment package that you can use in a CI/CD system for deployment.
Sample applications
Lambda provides the following sample applications for the PowerShell runtime:
Sample Lambda applications in PowerShell
-
blank-powershell
– A PowerShell function that shows the use of logging, environment variables, and the AWS SDK.
Creating the Lambda function
To get started writing and invoking a PowerShell script with Lambda, you can use the
New-AWSPowerShellLambda
cmdlet to create a starter script based on a template. You can use the
Publish-AWSPowerShellLambda
cmdlet to deploy your script to Lambda. Then you can test your script
either through the command line or the Lambda console.
To create a new PowerShell script, upload it, and test it, do the following:
-
To view the list of available templates, run the following command:
PS C:\> Get-AWSPowerShellLambdaTemplate Template Description -------- ----------- Basic Bare bones script CodeCommitTrigger Script to process AWS CodeCommit Triggers ...
-
To create a sample script based on the
Basic
template, run the following command:New-AWSPowerShellLambda -ScriptName MyFirstPSScript -Template Basic
A new file named
MyFirstPSScript.ps1
is created in a new subdirectory of the current directory. The name of the directory is based on the-ScriptName
parameter. You can use the-Directory
parameter to choose an alternative directory.You can see that the new file has the following contents:
# PowerShell script file to run as a Lambda function # # When executing in Lambda the following variables are predefined. # $LambdaInput - A PSObject that contains the Lambda function input data. # $LambdaContext - An Amazon.Lambda.Core.ILambdaContext object that contains information about the currently running Lambda environment. # # The last item in the PowerShell pipeline is returned as the result of the Lambda function. # # To include PowerShell modules with your Lambda function, like the AWSPowerShell.NetCore module, add a "#Requires" statement # indicating the module and version. #Requires -Modules @{ModuleName='AWSPowerShell.NetCore';ModuleVersion='3.3.618.0'} # Uncomment to send the input to CloudWatch Logs # Write-Host (ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $LambdaInput -Compress -Depth 5)
-
To see how log messages from your PowerShell script are sent to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, uncomment the
Write-Host
line of the sample script.To demonstrate how you can return data back from your Lambda functions, add a new line at the end of the script with
$PSVersionTable
. This adds the$PSVersionTable
to the PowerShell pipeline. After the PowerShell script is complete, the last object in the PowerShell pipeline is the return data for the Lambda function.$PSVersionTable
is a PowerShell global variable that also provides information about the running environment.After making these changes, the last two lines of the sample script look like this:
Write-Host (ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $LambdaInput -Compress -Depth 5) $PSVersionTable
-
After editing the
MyFirstPSScript.ps1
file, change the directory to the script's location. Then run the following command to publish the script to Lambda:Publish-AWSPowerShellLambda -ScriptPath .\MyFirstPSScript.ps1 -Name MyFirstPSScript -Region us-east-2
Note that the
-Name
parameter specifies the Lambda function name, which appears in the Lambda console. You can use this function to invoke your script manually. -
Invoke your function using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
invoke
command.> aws lambda invoke --function-name MyFirstPSScript out

French arms firm Thales to appeal Zuma corruption charge ruling in South Africa's top court
JOHANNESBURG: French defence firm Thales said on Tuesday (Nov 5) it would ask South Africa's highest court for permission to appeal an October ruling dismissing its request to have charges that it bribed former President Jacob Zuma permanently dropped.
Thales is accused of agreeing to pay Zuma 500,000 rand (US$34,000) annually for protection from an investigation into a US$2 billion arms deal in 1999.
The charges against Thales and Zuma were originally filed a decade ago but then set aside by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), paving the way for Zuma to successfully run for president in 2009.
The charges were reinstated in March 2018 by the NPA following appeals and lobbying by opposition parties and local anti-corruption groups.
In mid-October the Pietermaritzburg High Court dismissed an application by Zuma and Thales for a permanent stay of prosecution and set a provisional trial date of Feb 4, 2020.
"Thales confirms that on Nov 1 2019 it applied to the Constitutional Court of South Africa for leave to appeal the High Court’s decision which dismissed its challenge to the lawfulness of the decision to reinstate charges against it," the French firm said in a statement.
Zuma has also said he will appeal the decision, meaning the trial would likely begin only in late in 2020.
Thales' local public relations firm did not immediately reply to an email sent by Reuters seeking details of the argument it would make in the appeal application.
Thales, known as Thompson-CSF in 1999, has consistently argued that it has no knowledge of any transgressions having been committed by any of its employees in relation to the awarding of the contracts.

Parents of high school students can save thousands of dollars in college costs if their child takes AP (advanced placement) courses in high school. If your child has the ability to take an AP class and pass the national subject area AP exam, they should go for it. Besides the fact that colleges like to admit students that have taken challenging high school course work, many colleges offer earned credits and even advanced standing to students entering with several AP classes. For many families this can add up to huge savings.
Say that your child attends a private college that accepts AP credits. Room, board and tuition at such a school can cost over $50,000 a year. If that college accepts AP credits, they may offer your student advanced standing as they treat those credits as if they were earned in college. Consequently, your child could enter his first year of college as a sophomore. Even if your child doesn’t have quite enough AP credits for an entire year’s advancement, he can take an extra course or two (for free as usually no extra charge is imposed for extra classes in a semester) over his attendance to make up the missing credits. The result is that he’ll only need three years of college to graduate. Even if he doesn’t have enough AP credits for an entire year, he might graduate in three and a half years and cut out the cost of one semester ($25,000).
If your student still wants the four year college experience after his third year, he could take Master’s Degree level courses. If he wants to continue in the undergraduate world, he’ll have the time to double his major or minor, making himself more marketable to future employers. In almost any scenario, not only will your child be better educated, but you or he will reap financial rewards from his hard work and the minimal costs of AP exams.

The extent to which a variable can be used by a function or program is dictated by its scope. Some variables have global scope meaning they can be used within a function without having to be created again. A variable created outside of a function usually has global scope. If a variable is defined only within a function, then its scope is local to that function. This means that, unless it is returned by the function when it is called, this variable will be "invisible" to other functions. So, just to summarize, if a variable is declared outside of a function, it can be used within the function without redeclaring it. If a variable is declared within a function, its scope is local to that function.

Chris Hughes breaks down in tears over Jesy Nelson trolling ordeal
by By Press AssociationChris Hughes broke down in tears talking about the online trolling of his girlfriend Jesy Nelson.
The Little Mix singer recently featured in a documentary about the abuse which drove her to attempt suicide.
Hughes hailed his “brave” partner for battling through her ordeal, and said she didn’t deserve any of the treatment she received.
Speaking on This Morning, he became tearful as he talked about Nelson, and was comforted by presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Hughes said: “She rang me, bless her, about 10 minutes after the documentary aired and she was just so overwhelmed and she just broke down on the phone to me.
“She’s a strong girl now, she’s extremely strong.”
He clasped his hands to his face saying “I can’t” as Willoughby comforted him, before adding: “I don’t know why, but I get so emotional when I’m speaking about it.
“I’m fine talking about myself, but I get emotional when I talk about other people.
“She’s so brave and so strong, she didn’t deserve any of that. She’s fantastic.”
Nelson’s documentary about the effects of online bullying broke a viewing record for BBC Three, the broadcaster revealed in September.
The show, Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out, focused on the Little Mix star’s struggles with being bullied since rising to fame eight years ago.

On desktop, simply click and drag from the first word to the last word you wish to highlight. You may also click individual words.
On mobile, touch and hold for 375ms and a balloon will pop up showing the word you have selected. Drag your finger to the desired ending word. (This can be seen on desktop as well if you hold the left mouse button without dragging for 375ms). This allows the user to scroll normally and highlight when desired.
Highlighted text can span multiple paragraphs and element types. You can even highlight over, within, into, and out of other highlights. When you release your mouse / finger the highlights get normalized so that any "highlight within a highlight" gets split apart and adjacent highlights get merged together. This way the user is able to highlight as recklessly as they please and the outcome will remain neatly organized.
Exactly the same as highlighting, simply use the "erase" color.
In this demo, you can change the color by selecting one of the options from the floating header.

Kylian Mbappe is backing Lionel Messi to win a record sixth Ballon d'Or award simply because he is 'the best'
by Barnaby Lane- Kylian Mbappe is backing Lionel Messi to win a record sixth Ballon d’Or award next month when the winner is announced on December 2.
- Messi has scored 45 goals this calendar year for club and country, guiding FC Barcelona to the La Liga title and Argentina to the Copa America semis.
- Mbappe told Der Spiegel that Messi “was the best this year.”
- Mbappe is also part of the final 30-man shortlist for the prize, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard, and Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk.

Kylian Mbappe is backing Lionel Messi to win the 2019 Ballon d’Or award.
Messi has won the prize a joint record five times alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, meaning should he win in Paris next month, he will become the award’s most frequent ever recipient with six titles.
The Argentine faces stiff competition from Ronaldo, Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, and Mbappe himself, but the Paris Saint Germain forward believes there can only be one winner.
And told Der Spiegel that it should be Messi. “In individual terms, he was the best this year.”
Messi has scored 45 goals this calendar year for club and country, guiding FC Barcelona to the La Liga title and Argentina to the Copa America semifinals.
Nine of those goals have come in his last eight games for Barca, helping it sit at the top of the Spanish league again.
In contrast, long term rival Cristiano Ronaldo has managed 33 goals, however almost a quarter of those (7) came in the space of two games against international minnows Lithuania.
Messi is one of four FC Barcelona players up for the award, with Frenkie de Jong, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Antoine Griezmann also part of the final 30-man shortlist.
Liverpool is the team with the most players nominated however with seven, those being Mane, Van Dijk, Alisson, Mohamed Salah, Georginio Wijnaldum, Roberto Firmino, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Manchester City has five nominees (Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, and Raheem Sterling), while Real Madrid has two (Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema.)
Mbappe is just one of two PSG players given the nod, the other being Brazilian defender Marquinhos.
You can see the full list of nominees here:
The most notable omissions for the final shortlist are Barcelona forward Luis Suarez, Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, and World Cup winner Paul Pogba.
The winner of the award, voted for by journalists and national team captains, will be announced on December 2.

annex
6.B
6.B.0 Introduction
This annex gives an example of the compensatory approach for use in the
design of
conversions,
extensions and alterations. This is likely to be of use
where there is a need to specify one or more
constructions
with a
U-value
higher than the recommended maximum area-weighted average
U-values
given in either column a or b of the table to clause 6.2.9.
The example given in this instance is for an attic
conversion,
however the
same principles apply to extensions and substantial alterations.
Note that this method cannot be used in conversions, if recommended
U-values
are only being met as far as is
reasonably practicable
.
same building warrant
A single compensatory approach calculation can be carried out to cover
assessment criteria (maximum
U-values
, etc) are applicable to each area of
work
.

domestic | energy | annex 6.B | compensatory approach - heat loss example | 2010
6.B.1 Example: alteration to create
rooms
in a
roof space
Note; in this example, the fabric performance of the existing
building
allows
use of the values within column b in the table to clause 6.2.9.
Compensatory approach
example
It is proposed to form two
rooms
in the
roof space
of an existing single
storey
dwelling
. The extra floor area created (including opening for stairway) will be
36.4 m². A plan and section of the proposed layout is shown in the figure
below. A key part of the design is to create as much headroom as possible
below the new coombe ceilings. The existing rafters are only 150 mm deep
therefore it is difficult to achieve the recommended elemental
U-value
of 0.18
(see column b in the table to clause 6.2.9), without using branders or having
an excessive thickness of insulated ceiling lining. The principal compensatory
measure will be to highly insulate the attic walls that occur directly below the
lowest part of the coombes. The existing gables will be provided with
insulated internal wall lining to improve the
U-value
where the insulation
envelope now occurs. The four no. 1.5 m² rooflights installed have timber
frames. The floor that will be formed at the line of the existing ceiling ties is
wholly within the
insulation envelope
and is therefore disregarded for the
purposes of this calculation.
Procedure:
•
The internal exposed surface areas of each of the elements of the
proposed
building insulation envelope
that has different area-weighted
U-values
are calculated.
•
The heat loss for the proposed attic is calculated using proposed
U-values
for
building
elements, which may be higher or lower than those
recommended in column b of the table to clause 6.2.9. The percentage
area of windows/doors/rooflight area as proposed may also be greater or
less than 25%.
•
The heat loss for a ‘notional attic’ (i.e. an attic the same size and shape
as the proposed attic but with the area of window/doors/ rooflights taken
as a maximum 25% of the floor area) is calculated using the
U-values
in
column b in the table to clause 6.2.9.
•
Finally, the heat loss for the proposed attic should be less than or equal to
that for the 'notional' one.

6.B.4 The comparison
From the above comparison, the rate of heat loss from the proposed attic
(27.24) is less than that from the 'notional attic' (27.32). Proposals will
comply.
6.B.5 Additional insulation
work
The existing
dwelling
is of an age where there was no insulation provided in
the
roof space
at the time of the original
construction
. Guidance on
‘reconstruction of elements’ within clause 6.2.11 recommends that where an
element forming part of the insulation envelope is to be altered or dismantled
and rebuilt, the opportunity should be taken to improve the level of thermal
insulation.
In this example, there is no technical risk or other reason which prevents the
level ceiling at the eaves of the roof (see X on the section) being upgraded to
achieve a
U-value
of 0.15 as noted in column b of the table to clause 6.2.9.
This would therefore be required as part of the proposed
works
.

The built-in extension that loads PDFs exposes a page where an arbitrary URL can be set. The extension does not validate
this URL. As a result, the plugin can be tricked into believing that it is hosted in privileged pages (e.g.
chrome://print) and execute privileged functionality.
Example: Read cross-origin PDF data
Example: Open a file:-URL
file:-URLs are normally not accessible from the web. This test bypasses all checks and opens any file:-URL in Chrome 53.
In Chrome 54+, this implementation of the exploit fails because
chrome://print cannot directly be loaded in the helper extension, and I did not bother with looking for work-arounds.


A beneficial Siberian herbal infusion
swipe click to read the history
In the 16th century, Russian monks were forbidden to drink coffee or tea because caffeine was believed by the Russian federal government to cause "intoxication". The monks, seeking alternative beverages, harvested herbs from wild fields and produced their own herbal infusions ...
read more
... The monks noticed that Rosebay Willowherb produced a fragrant floral infusion that had a noticeable effect on their mental state and overall health. The herbal infusion soon became immensely popular with Russians and Europeans alike.
The term "Ivan Chai" was given to the herbal infusion by the foreigners who still enjoyed it in England and other European countries. Its popularity in England grew so drastically that by the end of the 19th century it was most likely noticed as a small threat to the Dutch East India Company. Rumours were supposedly spread that the Russians were poisoning Ivan Chai with white clay.
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, commercial production ceased and the consumption of Ivan Chai had practically fell to zero for Russia and the rest of Europe. Even in Russia, this beneficial herbal infusion remains somewhat unknown, and is slowly making a revival.
In 2017 my health was poor. I didn’t have much drive and was easily made anxious. That changed when I discovered a simple herbal infusion called Ivan Chai. I went to Siberia in 2018 just to make it with my own hands. Today I wish to share an Ivan Chai that comes from the pristine Altai region, an area of clean and pure nature miles away from any city.

TWISTER A film review by Alex Christensen Copyright 1996 Alex Christensen
_Jurassic Park_, but like, it doesn't suck
4 of 4 stars; only the stuffy would complain The pitch: "It'll be like _Jurassic_Park_ meets Speed!"
I did not go into _Twister_ with unreasonable expectations. I just wanted to be entertained. Then the picture came up on the screen, the wind blew me back in my seat, and I embarked on the greatest thrill-ride of a movie since _Speed_ or _Natural_Born_Killers_. _Twister_ is so real and powerful and, above all, entertaining, that to complain that the story is a little hokey or the characters said cliched lines is a fundamental misunderstanding of the film. It's tornadoes, man! Comparing _Twister_ to _Jurassic_Park_ is very valid. Michael Crichton wrote both films, and they both feature "stars" who were completely computer-generated. Steven Spielberg produced both films, as well. There was a lot which disappointed me about _Jurassic_Park_, however. For one thing, all of the characters were so annoying that I kept wishing for them all to die. Also, and I know this is a completely nonsensical thing to say, but I just could not appreciate the effects much at all.  There has to be an emotional involvement and an effective visual use of effects to really impress. For instance, I thought the most effective use of effects in _Jurassic_Park_ was when the cow is lowered into the cage and is ripped apart offscreen. The noises were great. They conveyed everything that needed to be conveyed. Another good scene was when Wayne Knight's character, attempting to smuggle DNA off the island, was killed by the poison-shooting dinosaur. I think that was an animatronic dinosaur, though. So why was I watching a movie? I could have been home on my couch listening to the radio or watching "Muppets Tonight!" I wished I was home on my couch listening to the radio or watching "Muppets Tonight!" Maybe tonight I will stay home on my couch and listen to the radio or watch "Muppets Tonight!" Or maybe I will go see _Twister_ again. Because, brother, does Jan de Bont, the director who brought us _Speed_, and the cinematographer who brought us _Cujo_, _Die_Hard_, and _The_Hunt_for_Red_October_, know how to make a movie that is exciting, gripping, and roundhouse-punch scary. When I saw _Speed_ for the first time, I was actually dodging and jumping in my seat and swearing out loud. (This can be very annoying to those seated around you. Be forwarned. _Twister_ is such a panic-inducing movie.) Jack N. Green, _Twister_'s cinematographer and Clint Eastwood's for the gorgeous _Unforgiven_ and _Bridges_of_Madison County_, pulls off some truly amazing helicopter shots and shots that require expert timing. He also photographs nature with such an unerring eye that you see the movie as a landscape of plains which intersects in an eerily beautiful way with the deadly power of nature as manifested by the tornadoes. You always feel that what is happening on screen is moving toward you, like your feet are on the ground with the characters, as well. I guess I will give a brief plot summary. The plot does not really matter. The plot is just an excuse for a bunch of tornadoes and destruction. This is a good thing. I do not want to be bothered with emotional baggage or following the intricacies of some loser's backstory. I want to see something get knocked over. de Bont comes through for me. So anyway, there are these storm-chasers, see, they want to find out how a tornado works, because nobody really knows, so they design "Dorothy" a machine that enters the eye of a tornado (they have to place it the tornado's path, of course) and releases hundreds of tiny sensors, which then record and transmit detailed information back to the scientists' computers. Bill (Bill Paxton) designed Dorothy, but he has left the project, and his wife Jo (Helen Hunt) for a new job as a weatherman and a new life with his fiancee, Melissa (Jami Gertz). Of course, on a trek out to get Jo to sign the divorce papers, Bill gets sucked back in with the old crew. Yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah. Then there is this evil corporate storm-chaser, Jonas (Cary Elwes), who has stolen the design of Dorothy and is looking to get his findings completed before the other group. A rare storm configuration has presented some unique opportunities for study, so the race is on between the two groups to place and operate their machine first.  It is. Don't think about it too much. Unlike in _Jurassic_Park_, de Bont has the good sense to treat the human characters like what they are: bit players.  Who can think anyway with a big tornado barreling toward you, swirling and roiling with debris and dust and who knows? hellfire and a kind of cruel intelligent mindlessness that Spielberg wishes his dippy velociraptors had had for one second? Who needs to?  But if you are looking for a movie that is a movie in every full, complete sense of the word, the kind of movie you can watch with popcorn on Saturday afternoon, _Twister_ is it. It is a four-star action picture, a four-star disaster picture, and that adds up to a four-star picture.

What are partner gateways?
Those are servers provided by our partners. As such, they are not fully managed by Blokada, so they may or may not provide the same level of quality our official gateways do. Partners are simply the good people who rent their servers to us for profit. As a general rule, you should not use them for your most private activities. There are several important benefits of partner gateways:
- They are hosted on standard consumer networks, and in result, are unblockable by service providers (like streaming companies).
- They give you access to additional locations compared to the official gateways.
- Your online traffic still comes out from your device encrypted.
Please note we are in a pilot stage of this feature, and it may not always work as expected. Thank you for your understanding, as we keep improving the offering.
If you wish to become one of our partners, and have bandwidth to spare, please contact us.


This data binding technique can be used to bind data stream to represent dynamic data such as traffic, weather, analytics and etc which changes over time. Ornamentum is capable of handing live data sources with all available features (Filtering, Dynamic Row Span, Sorting, Pagination etc.) and functionalities.
Client side stream data binding technique can be used to bind data sources which changes rapidly. Data changes notified by data source will automatically get reflected while persisting the current table state without having to manually trigger refresh. You can find more information about data refresh functionality in Header Details - Show Refresh Button section.
Client side stream data binding can be configured by using either of the approaches described below. Note that it will always re-render table body with last emitted data set.
dataSource: Observable<any[]>
Default Value: undefined
Target Component: <ng-data-table>
Setting an RxJS
Observable stream to dataSource
input property with the same approach discussed in the Client Side Basic Data Binding
section.
The data table reflect the changes accordingly when data source stream emit latest data set to be bound.
The complete code snippet for client side stream data binding via dataSource
input
property can be found in What You
Will See section example.
items: any[]
Default Value: undefined
Target Component: <ng-data-table>
The items
input property also can be used to implement the same behavior instead of using an
RxJS
Observable stream to bind real time data.
Let's modify the controller code snippet in above example (client-side-stream-usage.component.ts) to
emulate the real time data binding behavior by using items
property instead of dataSource
.
Data table items
input property setter will capture and re-render data table body when ever new data
collection reference is set to items
. We highly recommend the usage of dataSource
over
items
binding. However, you can proceed with this approach if you prefer using data arrays over
streams.


Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed goalkeeper Dean Henderson to carve out a successful career at Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old played a starring role in Sheffield United’s promotion to the Premier League last season and has featured in all 12 top-flight games for the Blades so far this campaign, conceding just nine goals.
He will miss Sunday’s clash with United at Bramall Lane as he is not eligible to play against his parent club.
Henderson is yet to play a first-team game for the Red Devils but Solskjaer has no doubt he will enjoy a fruitful career with the 20-time English champions.
“Sheffield United and Chris Wilder have had a big impact on him because he’s learning, he’s growing as a human being and as a player,” he told United’s official website.
“He’ll come back one day and will have a good career at United.”
Solskjaer says he has been impressed with how comfortably Wilder’s side have taken to life in the Premier League and reserved special praise for former United youth player Oliver Norwood, who has been an ever-present for the Blades this season.
“It’s a fantastic achievement what they’ve done,” he added.
“Chris is a fantastic manager. He’s a little bit different than some of us and we had him here for a behind-closed-doors game in August or September, where he played the ones who hadn’t played. I’m so happy for him to do well.
“To see Ollie Norwood – I had him in the reserves – captaining a Premier League club is great. It’s testament to us as a club as well that if you don’t make it at Man United you can still have a great career and Oliver has done fantastic.”


Climate change a health priority: Labor
by AAPThe effects of climate change must be treated as a health priority alongside cancer and diabetes, Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen says.
In a speech to be delivered in Sydney on Wednesday night, Mr Bowen will point to estimates that 250,000 people a year will die as a direct result of global warming by 2030.
“Natural disasters are already occurring more regularly,” he says.
“Vector borne diseases will become more prevalent and widespread. Heat waves, which already claim many lives in Australia will be more common and more severe.”
Mr Bowen says Labor will make the policy change if it wins government, but is calling on Health Minister Greg Hunt to act sooner.
He says the UK’s National Health Service has a sustainable development strategy and several European countries have identified health as a priority area in their climate change adaption strategies.
“This is despite the fact we are more exposed than most, and our medical community is increasingly vocal on the issue,” Mr Bowen says.
“In my six months so far as shadow minister for health I’ve been struck by the number of clinicians and medicos who’ve wanted to talk to me about the health impacts of climate change what can be done about it.
“As one senior doctor put it to me powerfully recently, ‘Doctors listen to the science of the climate change and its health impacts like we listen to the science of vaccination and the impacts of not vaccinating. They are as clear as each other, and ignoring the science of climate change would be akin to supporting anti-vaxxers’.”

5-MeO-DMT |
(powder / crystals) |
[Erowid Note: While the author reported the substance used as 5-MeO-DMT, he refers to 'DMT' within the report. 5-MeO-DMT and DMT are different substances entirely and their names are NOT interchangeable. This report is categorized as a 5-MeO-DMT report, and it is assumed that the author means 5-MeO-DMT and not DMT.]
I had been studying the effects of DMT for some time before I tried it, and lucky I did, for I could not imagine being thrown into something like this. Luckily I had an experienced journeyman by my side to guide me or else I would have had a tough time.
I sat back on the couch and took a hit of what was nothing smaller than a sugar in the raw grain, and instantly upon exhale the effects were on me.  But the force at which the effects were thrust into me was intense. I stood up holding my head as my thoughts began to echo louder until my own repeated thoughts became a deafening roar. I felt my ego slip away and this began to frighten me. I remember thinking this was odd because I was still in control of myself and my thoughts (with great difficulty) while my vision was blinded by the brightest white light I have ever seen. I turned to my guide and proclaimed (quite matter of fact, I was told) 'I'm Dying'.
I then began to feel nauseous, and experienced extra sensory perception. I could not see anything but managed to avoid all obstacles and make it to the bathroom to vomit. What came next frightened me the most. I began feeling waves in my body that started in my back and worked their way to my chest which I immediately associated with my soul leaving my body. I grabbed my chest and began to try and physically 'force' my soul back into my body.
Although I was scared at the same time I felt pure joy, and have never felt as happy and when my vision came back and reality returned I felt completely euphoric. I believe the trip was 5 minutes and 36 seconds long.

Industry-focused ERPs equal bespoke solutions in function and flexibility. GE Capital can attest to it. Following the leasing boom in 2005, the company entered the Romanian market. It partnered with TotalSoft, using our industry-focused ERP to automate operations. "Charisma met the needs of our company. That is a considerable feat, as we weren't your usual leasing business. Leasing companies tend to have a small number of high value contracts. At GE Capital, we managed a large number of low value contracts. We also had credit contracts", explains Radu Burghelea, CIO at GE Capital. For GE Capital, TotalSoft combined the leasing and the credit functions of Charisma. Such customizations are possible because Charisma uses a modular software architecture. Each software unit is lean, easy to deploy and to manage. Within 8 months, TotalSoft implemented Charisma at GE Capital. The system handled contract flow and clearing automatically. "Charisma is the best product in the market. It has the best ratio in performance to total cost of operations. The gap between Charisma and the challenging solution is quite big", concludes Burghelea. In 2010, Garanti Group took control over GE Capital operations in Romania. Garanti Group continued to use Charisma.


We need to not only defend the church's teachings, but also expose the
falsehoods and fallacies in the doctrines of other belief systems,
especially protestant faiths. This is different from Catholic Answers
(catholic.com), Catholics Come Home (catholicscomehome.org), and Word on
Fire (wordonfire.org) because rather than offering a database for
searching answers to questions, or collection of inspiring catholic
homilies, talks, and media, this site will seek to use evidence-based
reasoning to prove every element of the catholic and convince the user
that it is worth the effort (read: friction) to go through the process to
come into the Catholic Church. The main differentiator is that this service takes the answers TO the user, rather than the user having to search and find answers on their own.
One use case is that any catholic could punch in the
beliefs of someone who may be ideologically very far from the church and
quickly get a clear path of how they can logically guide that person to the truth.
It's not practical or feasible to expect every catholic to know and understand the
catholic church's teachings inside out. Most of us trust the magisterium; we trust the church's teachings to be correct without necessarily
understanding every ounce of reasoning behind them.
This is why we need a system like this, a complete, ordered, step-by-step
guide to logically bring someone to the Catholic faith, from atheism to
theism, from theism to christianity, from christianity to
catholicism.
Faith is ultimately very logical. Evangelization efforts of adults and
teenagers that attempt to inspire faith by "encountering jesus", or
"having a personal experience" seem ludicrous to the people outside the
catholic bubble. Yes, to the faithful catholic personal experience is the
greatest proof, but this is not the case for those who don't already
believe. For those who don't already believe, asking them to pray in order
to "personally experience" god seems ludicrous. It's too easy for them to point out
how the music and community inspire groupthink and how easily our emotions
can be manipulated... and how easily an emotional experience can masquerade as
a spiritual one. Furthermore, I can't use my own personal experience to logically convince someone else that the Church is the truth.
The reason so many young people leave the Catholic Church is because they were never taught WHY to believe. They were never taught the logic, depth, and reasoning behind the catholic faith, and they may never have had the urgency to go find those answers. Once these young people get out into the real world, they no longer need to be catholic "because their family is catholic," and soon enough, an atheist (like Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion) convinces them than catholicism is a silly notion of a friendly god in the sky, and they don't need to say no to the temptations of the world, and that life would be so much better if they weren't being held back by a silly religion. This is how much of the non-religious world views catholics.
Part of the solution is to teach the reasoning and logic and evidence behind every element of the catholic faith in religious education classes, especially for high schoolers. This will require the teens to think seriously about the truth for a little while and hopefully internalize it.
The other aspect is to have a resource like this web app, that allows the user to see exactly what arguments need to be made, what evidence to bring up, etc, in order to show others the truth.
Truly, if we believe that the Catholic Faith is THE TRUTH, then we should
not fear logic or reason or evidence. We should have nothing to hide, for
the truth is on our side.
