LOUIS VAN GAAL faces an injury crisis at Manchester United because his players are too weak, says Peter Schmeichel.
The former Red Devils star reckons the physical nature of the game has reduced and players have become accustomed to it, meaning when a bad tackle is made, they get hurt.
Van Gaal is closing in on 50 injuries in his short spell in charge at Old Trafford, with Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw, Angel di Maria, all still out Daley Blind.
"When you talk about injuries that have come from playing too much, you're talking about muscle injuries," Schmeichel told IBTimes UK.
"They have gone down over the years. It's the impact injuries that have gone up. You have to wonder why.
"The rules are changing and you cannot have physical contact anymore. So players are not used to it. I think it is. It's my personal opinion and it's based on no signs, just logic is that if you take physicality out of the game and if you end up on a tackle, the chances of getting injured is more because the player is not used to it."
Schmeichel added: "But if you could tackle for instance, then the player can prepare himself and obviously get used it. No one has ever broken a metatarsal before David Beckham. No one knew about it. Suddenly that's the biggest injury in football now.
"How is that possible? Why is that happening? Lack of physicality, difference in boots or protection. It's weird. I don't think you can blame it on fixtures."

Livescribe 3 merges pen and iPad
Over the years many companies have tried to replace pen and paper with limited success. That has not deterred Livescribe, which recently released its latest smartpen. The Livescribe 3 aims to make it simple to get notes onto iPhones and iPads.
By John Morris for Laptops & Desktops | December 19, 2013 -- 20:30 GMT (12:30 PST) | Topic: iPad
The notepad has stubbornly resisted the digital revolution. Sure, there are some great note-taking apps, such as Evernote and Microsoft OneNote, but these still rely on a keyboard. Over the years many companies have tried to replace pen and paper with limited success.
That has not deterred Livescribe, which recently released its latest smartpen. The Livescribe 3 doesn't really replace the company's current smartpens. Instead with each generation Livescribe experiments with a different mix of hardware and software features looking for a solution that will entice more people to stop scribbling notes on Post-Its and in spiral-bound notebooks.
I've tried them all and the new one is a big departure from the previous Echo and Sky WiFi smartpens. The Echo pen is designed to capture notes and audio, which you transfer to a Mac or PC via USB and manage in the Livescribe Desktop application. The Sky WiFi added wireless, skipping the desktop and synchronizing notes directly with Evernote. Both pens have a similar designs including a small LED display, and a microphone and speaker for capturing what Livescribe calls pencasts. These pens, which Livescribe still sells, pack lots of features but they can also be complicated.

By contrast, the idea behind the Livescribe 3 smartpen is to simplify the pen and piggyback on smartphones and tablets. The display, microphone and speaker are gone and the smartpen now looks more like a regular pen--complete with a pen clip. I had hoped that the Livescribe 3 would be a bit thinner and smaller too. As it turns out, it is about the same size as the Echo and Sky, though it is lighter and it basically feels like--and looks like--a large fountain pen. It's also nice that the ink cartridge is now retractable, so you no longer have to keep tabs on the little plastic cap. On the other end, the pen has a stylus cap, which you pop off to recharge the battery via micro-USB. Livescribe says the pen is good for about 14 hours of note-taking.
To use the Livescribe 3, you first download and install the Livescribe+ mobile app. For now, it is only available for iOS 7, and only on devices that support low-energy Bluetooth, which includes the current iPhones (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5c and 5s), iPad 3 or newer and the fifth-generation iPod Touch or newer. Livescribe says it is also working on Android support.
With the Livescribe+ app open, you twist the pen to turn it on and it asks whether you want to pair the two devices. The smartpen still relies on special notebook paper, using Anoto's technology with a pattern of tiny dots to capture your jottings, but you no longer need to tap on buttons to access menus or control recordings. You just start writing and the notes appear on your iPhone or iPad in near real-time. If your device isn't nearby, the pen will still store the notes (up to 20,000 pages according to Livescribe) and sync up the next time you establish a pairing.
The Livescribe 3 works with up to four iPhones and iPads, and it syncs the notes among them. It does not, however, sync other content you add such as pencasts, photos, tags or edits. The company says it is working on an iCloud solution for this. You can send notes using e-mail or text, or share them using Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook or Twitter.
In addition to the basic Page View, there's a new Feed View that breaks up your notes into what the company calls "micronotes" and displays them in a timeline. Swipe in one direction to delete a micronote; swipe in the other direction and the app converts your handwriting to digital text using Vision Object's MyScript technology. From there you can press and hold on the text to do lots of useful things with it such as create calendar events and reminders, add Contacts, open addresses in Maps, dial a phone number (iPhone) and send a message (iPad). I happen to have horrible handwriting--and the large pen only makes it worse--so I didn't have much luck with these features, but they did work well for others with more legible script.
Even though the Livescribe 3 lacks its own microphone, you can still record audio using the microphone in your iPhone or iPad to create a pencast that is synchronized with your notes. To start recording, you tap a button either in the notepad or in the app itself. The pencast feature worked fine, but because the ink cartridge rested a little loosely in the tip of my smartpen, it made a clicking noise each time I picked up the pen up or set it down on the paper. This constant clicking noise was clearly audible on my test recordings.
The Livescribe 3 starts at $150 with a 50-sheet notebook and one ink cartridge. A $200 Pro Edition includes a leather portfolio with a 100-sheet notebook, an extra inkjet cartridge and a one-year subscription to Evernote Premium.
There are several alternatives approaches to digital note-taking. Adonit's Jot stylus line is designed to make it easier to write or draw directly on a tablet, and the company has a version designed to work with Evernote and the Penultimate app. Wacom has a competing Bamboo stylus designed to work with its Bamboo app for iOS and Android. And Moleskine has a line of notebooks that work with the Evernote Page Camera app to capture and save notes on iOS and Android devices.
The Livescribe 3 is a better-looking pen than the older models, but it is still a bit too large for me to use comfortably for long note-taking sessions. And ideally it would be good to have one smartpen that worked well with PCs, with cloud-based services, and with smartphones and tablets--rather than having to choose. But overall the Livescribe 3 achieves its goal: it makes it simple to capture handwritten notes to an iPhone or iPad.

We've been trained to be afraid of everything. We innately carry that same fear into the things of God. There are people who are scared of God because they think He's a hard master, ready to strike them dead with lightning. True fear of God hates what God hates. True fear of God refuses to do anything that would offend the Holy Ghost. When we do things to please Him, we invoke true knowledge.
Knowledge brings life. Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children" That's heavy! The reason the problem stays is because you haven't received the knowledge to move the mountain! This lack of knowledge not only affects YOU, it affects your children!
Today, ask God to fill you with knowledge. Ask Him to remove anything that would repel wisdom and discipline. Remove pride from your life that would hinder God's correction thus allowing ignorance to prevail. In the name of Jesus!

Q: How to analyze and get the main context from email subject in python I have started learning Ai . I want to solve a problem but don,t know which topics or content should i read to solve this problem
The problem is I want to get the main context from email subject
Examples of subjects lines are

What i want to get in results
Example from given subject lines a have software which have finance department , inventory management department , technical team to resolve bugs .
I want to analyze the subject lines and then i want to analyze from which department i should send this email.
Can you show me a roadmap to solve this problem.

A: Your main goal is to classify text (i.e., email subjects) into one or more predefined class, depending on your design (you could always choose only one department to forward the email to, or multiple if the issue is inter-disciplinary). I would suggest to first go through some tutorials on supervised learning and multi-class classification. In my experience, they usually start with images, but the underlying logic is still the same. Once you understand the main concepts, you can look into natural language processing and text classification. Also, this sounds like a relatively general problem, so you should also be able to find some pretrained models or even full solutions online.

COMPTON (MNS) — Young people here — often its teenage students — don't garner much positive national media attention. Often it is the opposite. But truth be told, there is an undercurrent of stellar Compton academic achievement that deserves equal access.
That story is the 23 Compton middle school students who left for Washington, D.C. on June 13, to compete in the "Jefferson Awards," a national community service competition.
"This is where I live so I try to make it look good," said Willowbrook Middle School eighth-grader Relando Collier, Jr.
He and 22 of his fellow Willowbrook schoolmates will present their award-winning community service projects at the Jefferson Awards Foundation's (JAF) Students In Action (SIA) competition this week.
Collier has also been selected to participate in a panel discussion with U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
"I was surprised to be chosen. It's exciting for me. I'm just going to do what I'm supposed to do, and that's representing Compton," he said.
Collier's father said he's in awe of his son's and the school's accomplishments.
Last April, Willowbrook won top honors at the Jefferson Awards Foundation's Students In Action greater Los Angeles competition in April; earning the right to represent the region.
Now they will compete against winning schools from cities that include Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New York City.
The Jefferson Awards Foundation's Students In Action challenges students at middle and high schools around the country to organize community service teams, inspire activism in their schools and highlight their efforts through presentations.
"To achieve real academic success we've learned schools must support the whole child. The Willowbrook Middle School students who traveled to Washington, D.C. are being recognized for their hard work to support their own community," said Satra Zurita, president of CUSD's Board of Trustees.
Principal Dennis Perry said win or lose, Willowbrook students have already made their school proud through their community service projects and by winning at the regionals. "Not only did they win, but also exceeded expectations with top honors. Now they're representing Los Angeles County in D.C.," he said.
Perry added that aside from earning recognition, what's most important is having students realize their own power to make the world a better place.
"We want our students to understand this community is theirs. This world is theirs. We want them to be prepared to take their proper place in shaping and changing in how their world looks. That starts with community service projects," Perry said.
Though the students are representing the CUSD, veteran City Councilperson Janna Zurita, who was at Willowbrook to help send off the D.C.-bound students, recognizes a broader illumination for the entire City.
"This shows the world the great things going on in Compton schools and in the City of Compton," Zurita said. "This is very exciting for the students. For many of them, this trip is also their plane ride. Congratulations to Compton Unified, the school, the principal, and to the board members," she said.
Eighth-grader Alexandra Cervantes said the trip to D.C. is an opportunity to change people's perceptions of Compton. "Going to nationals is a great way to show Willowbrook is actually a great school from a good place full of good people," she said.
Her father, Alejandro Cervantes, said he hopes the trip to D.C. is an eye-opener.
Seventh-grader Dmont'e Scott, said that aside from seeing all the sites in our nation's capital, he hopes to share his school's message that making a difference in the world begins at home.


Australia's climate deal: better than nothing or worse than useless?
In a recent article in The Monthly, Guy Pearse questions why so many environmental organisations are cheering the Australian government's draft Clean Energy Future (CEF) carbon-pricing package. This is an important article, which should encourage some serious debate.
Two years ago, the Australian government's proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) split environmental groups in Australia. The Australian Conservation Foundation, the Climate Institute and WWF announced their support of the plan. Back then, Guy Pearse wrote that they were "sucker punched," by the government which had no intention of making serious cuts to greenhouse gas emissions and built in loopholes to the CPRS would have allowed any emissions reductions (including REDD) to take place outside Australia. Other NGOs, such as Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace, opposed the scheme.
Pearse points out that the CEF features some improvements over the CPRS. The emissions reduction target for 2050 is increased from 60% to 80%. While the CPRS allowed unlimited imported carbon credits, the CEF allows carbon credits only after 2015 to meet no more than 50% of emission liabilities. There's a Clean Energy Finance Corporation with A$10 billion to spend.
Big polluters are again excused from paying for 66–94.5% of their emissions, notwithstanding [Prime Minister Julia] Gillard's claim that "big polluters will pay for every tonne of carbon pollution they put into our atmosphere". There's the same inadequate 5% unconditional emissions reduction target for 2020; same hypothetical 25% target; still no carbon price at the bowser; billions of dollars going to emission-intensive power generators; $1.3 billion to coal producers whose exports are Australia's largest contribution to climate change; and handouts to householders still mean most Australians won't notice a carbon price.
The 5% emissions reduction target that Pearse mentions is compared to 2000, not 1990. The people in the environmental movement who Pearse asked why they are supporting a deal that is clearly not good for the climate, declined to speak on the record. A campaigner with "Say Yes" told Pearse that "rather than getting a better scheme from [Labor] or the other side, it's all about helping Gillard sell the scheme".
the increasing tendency of environmental groups to focus on incremental wins. Rather than asking 'What needs to be done?', they're asking 'What's possible soon, given the lie of the land?' Rapid transitions to renewables and away from fossil-fuel exports are considered unthinkable, given the grip that coal companies and unions have on both major parties. Settling for much less ambitious goals and overstating their significance is easier.
Another reason that Pearse suggests for the failure to criticise the CEF is money. Two funders, the Poola Foundation and the Purves Environmental Fund support a large part of the environmental movement in Australia. Two rich farmers are behind these funders. Neither are just funders. Both are also actively involved in environmental organisations. Robert Purves is a former president and current board member of WWF (Australia) and a former board member of WWF (International), for example, while Mark Wootton is chair of the Climate Institute board and, until recently, sat on the boards of both the ACF and the Australia Institute.
Unfortunately, since Hamilton's presentation, some of the groups that he praised for opposing the CPRS are now cheering the CEF.
What is most disappointing about Pearse's article is not just the errors and tapestry of rumours and innuendos from unnamed sources. It is not just the fact that none of the claims have been checked with the targets. Nor is it the ludicrous conspiracy claim of two funders driving the policies of all the organisations – the organisations mentioned took every possible position on the CPRS! It is the chilling effect this could have on other philanthropists who may be put off supporting climate advocacy by the prospect of personalised unsubstantiated attacks.
Conner is, at least, honest enough to admit that ensuring continued funding is of primary importance in any discussion about effective policies to address runaway climate change.
REDD-Monitor hopes that more considered responses come from the other NGOs who support the CEF and that a genuine debate on the issues raised by Pearse, Hamilton, Spratt, Rice and Ewbank can take place.
PHOTO credit: Illustration by Jeff Fisher.
Australia's plan seems to be a big climate lie. What they are planning is to continue exporting huge emissions to Annex 2 countries (think of the coal shipments to China), while importing offsets, most likely also form annex 2 countries, much of which will doubtless be REDD credits.
I'd be interested to know if Australia will be accounting for its emissions from domestic forestry. Under the last commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, Australia elected not to account for domestic forestry emissions. Yet it is funding such emissions cuts programs and projects in countries like Indonesia.
Will Australia, therefore, be importing offsets from an emissions sector (forestry) in developing countries that it does not even recognise in its own country?

Man Utd: Nemanja Vidic's 5 Greatest Moments
by John Howard
Feb 27, 2014 February 27th, 2014
With United's defensive rock announcing he is to leave this summer, likely in the direction of Italian giants Inter Milan, there's no better time than to cast our mind's back over Manchester UnitedcCareer of one of the best Centre Backs not only to pull on a Red Devil's jersey, but to play in the Premier League. After joining Manchester United from Spartak Moscow in 2006 for a relatively modest fee, the big Serb soon went on to be a staple of United's back four, along the way picking up a Champions League medal, a Club World Cup medal, 3 League Cup medals, and 5 Premier League medals. This is enough to automatically cement the departing Captains place in United legend, but he is much more than just medals. Let's take a look at some of Nemanja Vidic's best moments in the red of Manchester United. Let us know in the comments what your favourite memory of him is and if you think the club will be able to find a suitable replacement for who is undoubtedly one of the greatest centre backs to ever play the game.
5. 2008 Champions League Final in Moscow
Picking out one great moment from the season in which Manchester United did a dramatic double of the Premier League and Champions League would not be easy, but no doubt Nemanja Vidic was a highlight. After an already stellar campaign, Vidic continued his form when it mattered the most, the 2008 Champions League Final against Chelsea in Moscow. Though he didn't take a penalty in the dramatic finale that eventually saw the Red Devil's crowned champions of Europe, his contribution to the game was none the less instrumental in the outcome. In the closing minutes of the game, an ill tempered Didier Drogba was seen to slap Vidic prompting the referee to issue a red card to the Ivorian. Did Vidic provoke Drogba? Probably. But one of the hallmarks of Vidic's tenure at Centre Back for Manchester United is his inability to back down. The 2008 Champions League Final was the only medal in the competition he has gained, but throughout his time in Manchester he has been pivotal in helping them not only to that success in Moscow, but to 2 other European final's in 2009 and 2011, both defeats attributed to Barcelona.

        if you_like and i_like:
            return True
        else:
            return False

as you can see in my views.py i have an if statement with one elif, however it never seems to pick up on that elif and goes direct to the else, so in my notifications i always get the 'accepted your friend request view' message. I cant seem to fix this issue if anyone can see an faults please let me know.
When i use it in my profile app to display a button showing, confirm friend request it seems to work. here is my code for the profile:
view.py
 def profile_view(request, username):
    user = get_object_or_404(User, username=username)
    liked_user, like_user_created = UserLike.objects.get_or_create(user=user)
    do_they_like = False
    if request.user in liked_user.liked_users.all():
        do_they_like = True
        context = {
            "do_they_like": do_they_like
                    }
        return render(request, "profiles/profile_view.html", context)

Thanks

A: Problem in your below line
user = get_object_or_404(User, username=request.user)

Update above with below line
user = get_object_or_404(User, pk=request.user.pk)

Just a quick note to all the moms, wishing you the happiest day ever with your children. Give them big kisses and hugs today and make wonderful memories. They grow up all too fast! Below are my kids, Sam and Schuyler. And there I am with my mom in…it looks like 1970 something! Wishing you all the best day ever with with your family!


Well, here I am again after a long lay off. You'll notice in the twitter link on the right that a couple of weeks ago I began Ease into 5K. This is the update of C25k.
At long last I've got myself over the doorstep again; and I'm hoping that this time I can continue day by day to get to some level of fitness, without any sort of time scale and with the goal of simply getting into 34" waist trousers again. The only real goal is the daily goal of completing a walk or Ease into 5K or to take a rest day. And I'm pushing myself no further than that; unlike in the past when I've pushed myself over into pain and suffering. It's that that kept knocking me back more than anything, simply pushing myself too far. So this will be very much an Ease(y) into 5K.
In the pursuit of flat shoes that have some real style (the Vivobarefoot Ra are ok but not all that stylish) and are flat, I found Base London shoes which, in shoes to wear with a suit and that have some style, are about as flat as you can get. They are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever had and so all the shoes I wear now are flat and the next thing to walking barefoot. This has really helped my feet and legs recover properly from previous injury, although there's some injury there in my left foot which I think is about as good as it's going to get. So I'm getting into the (almost) barefoot running form, as it were, from scratch.
One of my Base London shoes, the left one, developed a squeak. I looked on the internet for remedies. What worked though was what was suggested by a member of my congregation - olive oil. Left to soak in overnight, it worked a treat and now I can walk normally again without the squeak announcing my arrival.
So I'm looking no further forward than each day's walk or run or rest, making the journey the important thing rather than the goal.

Valigursky, Ed
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Artist.
(1926-2009) Working name of American artist Edward Valigursky, sometimes credited as such or simply as Valigursky; on a few occasions, he used the pseudonym William Rembach. After artistic training at the Art Institute of Chicago, the American Academy of Arts, and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, he began working as an associate art director for Ziff-Davis in 1952, became art director for Quinn Publishing in the following year, and moved into freelance work two years later. From the mid-1950s to the early 1970s, he painted covers almost exclusively for three markets: Amazing Stories (49 covers), Fantastic (32 covers), and Ace Books (over 100 covers – attribution is sometimes complicated since he did not sign his work, and since Ace long declined to credit cover artists). Seeking better-paying markets, Valigursky later moved into advertising and did illustrations for general-fiction magazines like Collier's and nonfiction magazines like Popular Mechanics, continuing to work into the 1980s. His depictions of aviation and aerospace subjects, which were especially admired, have been featured in exhibits at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC and the Royal Air Force Museum in London.
Valigursky's sf work, often for Ace Doubles, sometimes looks hurried, but he was proficient at menacing Robots, like the rather rotund figures on the covers of the May 1958 issue of Amazing Stories and H Beam Piper's The Cosmic Computer (1959); the more sedate robot sitting at a table and turning a dial within a ruined city for a 1958 edition of Clifford D Simak's City (fixup 1952), however, is more impressive. He was also renowned for his characteristic needle-nosed Spaceships, seen on his covers for Poul Anderson's We Claim These Stars! (1959), the 1964 edition of Andre Norton's Plague Ship (1956), and many others. Such standard-issue artwork was perfectly suited for the Space Operas and futuristic melodramas that Ace was then noted for, yet some covers juxtapose some of his usual tropes in a more striking manner: his cover of Nick Boddie Williams's Atom Curtain (1956), features a hand pushing a button while missiles fly over a misty city in the background; the cover of the July 1957 issue of Amazing Stories dramatically shows a huge hairy hand crushing a spaceship in space; and his cover for Robert Moore Williams's The Lunar Eye (1964) foregrounds a domed moonbase firing an energy blast that splits a spaceship. His covers that focus on human figures tend to be less interesting, as demonstrated by his routine covers for three first editions of novels by Philip K Dick that may have become, for reasons unrelated to their quality, his most famous efforts. Overall, Valigursky cannot be regarded as a great sf artist, but for certain readers, his distinctive style will always be fondly associated with the simple pleasure of reading unambitious, unpretentious space adventures.

Jury Finds Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher Not Guilty Of War Crimes, Attempted Murder
bySandy Malone
Jul 3, 2019 -edited
A jury found Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher not guilty of war crimes and attempted murder on Tuesday.
San Diego, CA – U.S. Navy Special Warfare Chief Edward Gallagher, who spent nine months in prison accused of stabbing a 15-year-old ISIS fighter to death and shooting at civilians during his deployment, was found not guilty of almost all charges by a jury on Tuesday.
Gallagher was found guilty of posing for a picture with the dead body of the teenage terrorist, but the charge carries a maximum penalty of four months in jail, far less than what the decorated soldier has already served, FOX News reported.
The case against the Navy SEAL who had received two medals of Valor began after members of his own platoon leveled accusations against their chief and accused him of being a murderer who failed to distinguish between the enemy and civilians, the Washington Examiner reported.
Discussions between the platoon members in a What'sApp group called "The Sewing Circle" became the basis for the charges against Gallagher.
According to those platoon members, they were told to keep their mouths shut about what Gallagher had allegedly done or possibly lose their tridents, the symbol that identifies a sailor as an elite Navy SEAL, the Washington Examiner reported.
The case was highly controversial from the outset, and drew criticism from retired Navy SEALs and President Donald Trump, who was instrumental in having Gallagher moved from military prison to a hospital environment while he was confined.
President Trump had openly declared his plan to pardon the Navy SEAL should he have been convicted, a move that drew both praise and criticism from military officials.
But Gallagher's case went sideways before the trial even began after prosecutors were caught having embedded email tracking software in their communications with the defense team, the Washington Examiner reported.
U.S. Navy Captain Aaron Rugh, the military judge overseeing Gallagher's case, dismissed U.S. Navy Commander Chris Czaplak, the lead prosecutor, when it was revealed that the prosecutor had been engaging in unethical practices.
Rugh also released Gallagher from custody at that point and lowered the Navy SEAL's possible sentence to life with the possibility of parole, the Washington Examiner reported.
However, the judge opted not to dismiss the charges against Gallagher at that time.
When the trial started on June 17, the prosecution put two members of Gallagher's platoon on the stand who testified that they had witnessed their chief stabbing the wounded teenage ISIS fighter, the Washington Examiner reported.
Prosecutors showed the jury pictures of Gallagher posing with the dead body of the boy.
They said members of his platoon had seen him read his reenlistment oath near the body and that proved he was "proud" of what he'd done, FOX News reported.
"Good story behind this. Got him with my hunting knife," Gallagher texted a friend to whom he sent the picture, according to prosecutors.
But at the eleventh hour, another member of Gallagher's platoon took the stand and told the jury that it was he, not Gallagher, who had actually killed the ISIS fighter, the Washington Examiner reported.
Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Corey Scott, a combat medic, admitted that he'd seen Gallagher stab the fighter, but told the jury that the teen died because he had suffocated the boy to keep him from being turned over to the Iraqis, whom he said he had seen torture, rape, and kill other prisoners.
"I knew he was going to die anyway," Scott testified. "I wanted to save him from waking up to what had happened next."
Other members of Gallagher's team told the jury that they hadn't seen the decorated soldier stab the teen, the Washington Examiner reported.
Lead defense attorney Timothy Parlatore argued that the men who had accused Gallagher of misdeeds were just disgruntled subordinates who didn't like their chief's tough leadership tactics.
"This case is not about murder, it's about mutiny," Parlatore said.
Gallagher's wife, who stood by his side through the entire debacle, told reporters at a press conference after the verdict that the matter was not finished and pointed to the way her hero husband had been pulled from his home at gunpoint, FOX News reported.
During his 19-year military career, the Navy has twice awarded Gallagher the Bronze Star with V for Valor, a Meritorious Unit Commendation, and three Navy and U.S. Marine Corps achievement medals.
No. 1-8
Were the two that testified against him regular military or were they seals? I certainly hope they were not seals, that would certainly destroy their code.

We are the greatest country in the world ... but sometimes all you can do is shake your head in amazement at the shit we do to those who sacrifice so much for our great country.
Burgers Allday
The witness, Special Operator First Class Corey Scott, a SEAL medic who was given immunity from prosecution by the Navy, stunned prosecutors by testifying that he, and not Chief Gallagher, had killed the captive, by covering a breathing tube inserted in the captive's neck. His testimony also deviated in other significant ways from what he had told investigators before trial; the Navy has indicated it is considering charging him with perjury.

As a veteran also, with 2 deployments done, I don't see anything wrong with killing an insurgent, no matter how old they are, male or female. They do not understand right from wrong you say? Well that's more of a reason to take them out because it's not like you can disarm them and talk it over or reason with them. You do what you gotta do to stay safe and keep your buddies safe. But you must do it right and follow the rules of engagement or the honor of it all gets tarnished. And we as a country suffers from all of the negative backlash. Only they know what happened there, whatever the military courts found or concluded had already been decided upon. They will all have to live with what they have done and answer to one person only.
Trefflek
An enemy trying to kill you, is an enemy trying to kill you! It doesn't matter their age. If the enemy is trying to kill you? You kill them! Well Done Chief!
Sometimes I hear military men say that the US military follows "Rules Of Engagement." But they don't that is a myth. Time to roll tape on the Bin Laden extrajudicial execution.

Q: Google Firebase Real-time Database Not Working as everything is set correctly I'm working on an android application, i'm trying to upload my data into the firebase Realtime Database , but it is not showing up there everything is set correctly, all dependencies are set correctly, application is working properly, there are no errors!. but the problem is data is not getting updated into the Realtime database.

buttonC.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
            DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("message");

            myRef.setValue("Hello, World!");

        }
    });

A: firebaser here
If you downloaded the google-services.json before you created the database, the SDK won't be able to determine the correct database URL - since your database instance is not in the default region.
You have two options to fix it in that case:

*

*You can specify the full database URL in the call to getInstance() like this: FirebaseDatabase.getInstance("your database URL").getReference()

*You can download an updated google-services.json after you created the database, and make sure you app uses that file.

It's pretty easy to miss this condition right now, as the relevant warning is logged as a debug message. We're working on surfacing the message more explicitly, but in the meantime the above should also work.

Is the new 2019 Volvo XC40 suitable for a family of four? Our married car reviewers drive and discuss
The Spousal Report: 2019 Volvo XC40 Review
BY Liz Kim Christian Wardlaw
Tuesday, September 4, 2018, 11:07 AM
Full Car Details More Reviews
With the debut of the 2019 Volvo XC40, this proud Swedish automaker (by way of Chinese owner Zhejiang Geely Holding Group) sells three SUVs, or four if you count the V90 Cross Country. The smallest of this quartet, the new XC40 is also the least expensive. But that does not imply that it is cheap.
Based on same vehicle architecture used for the larger XC60 and XC90 models, but scaled down in size, the new XC40 draws from the common Volvo well for its styling, interior materials and components, and mechanical bits and pieces. Of course, as Volvo's entry-level SUV, the XC40 isn't quite as refined and luxurious as its larger and more expensive siblings, but it clearly benefits by its association.
FIRST LOOK: 2019 VOLVO XC40
Volvo's modern design themes are plainly evident on the new 2019 XC40, but this small crossover also boasts an appropriately jaunty personality where its corporate siblings are more grown-up and mature.
(Speedy Daddy Media, Inc.)
Additionally, the new XC40 is the first of the automaker's products available through Care by Volvo, a new vehicle subscription service. Offered for pre-packaged versions of the T5 AWD Momentum and T5 AWD R-Design trim levels, customers who select this option pay a set monthly price that includes the vehicle, insurance, and maintenance including wear-and-tear items. Plus, after the first year of the 2-year subscription, you can switch into a different vehicle.
Daily News Autos editor Christian Wardlaw and his wife, contributing writer Liz Kim, are married with children. To find out whether this new baby Volvo SUV offers enough space and utility to serve as a family vehicle, they spent a week driving two different XC90 models.
One was a T5 AWD Momentum with a white roof, white 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and all but the Advanced option package. The price tag came to $43,120 (including the destination charge of $995). The other was a T5 R-Design with metallic paint, 20-inch wheels, Harmon Kardon premium sound, a panoramic sunroof, and all of the option packages. The price for the R-Design climbed to $45,885.
This is their story…
How it Looks
Seen here in sporty R-Design trim with optional 20-inch wheels and Bursting Blue metallic paint, the new 2019 Volvo XC40 is both distinctive and attractive.
Volvo is clearly taking the "small, medium, large" approach to its crossovers; they all possess similar styling cues, design themes, and of course, Thor's Hammer headlights. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the XC line is inherently handsome.Our first XC40 test vehicle was a bright blue hue combined with a black-on-black interior. It wasn't particularly memorable aside from the super modern and clean layout and the R-Design-specific trim pieces.
Our second test vehicle was styled in a much more distinctive manner with a pale Amazon Blue paint job and a white roof. I say distinctive with a caveat: the approach is obviously derivative of a Mini Cooper or a Fiat 500. The 19-inch white-spoke wheels were interesting too, a rather pricey $800 upgrade but it does complete the look.
In any case, the kids loved it. The pre-teen daughter exclaimed that it had "beachy vibes." It really made the vehicle pop against the neutral-hued cars that usually populate the school drop off line.
I dug the two-tone interior with sand-hued inserts against a black base color. Along with the light headliner and panoramic sunroof cover, our XC40 Momentum was like a rolling beach house, and it elicited a smile every time I got into the car. Overall, Volvo has been excelling at creating gorgeous interiors, but this one was really made an impression.
For the new XC40's interior, Volvo patterns the look and layout after all of its other vehicles. The quality of the materials impresses.
Form triumphs over function inside of modern Volvos. Each of them expresses a spare, minimalistic Swedish aesthetic decorated with thoughtful, upscale details. And the new XC40 is no different. Volvo easily could have cheapened its new entry-level model, and while it has in places you won't really notice much, at the same time the automaker has retained elements of glamour in the ways that count most. When you get into the XC40, it looks and feels special, which is the whole point of spending extra on a premium or luxury brand in the first place.
Exterior design also instills a sense of pride of ownership. Familiar Volvo SUV design cues are evident front and rear, but in between the XC40 embarks on a different path. When I first considered the XC40's design upon its debut, it looked chunky and modular, like an SUV built with Legos. In person, and depending on the color combination, it makes far more sense to me.
Overall, the XC40 is unmistakably a Volvo, but at the same time has a youthful look and spirit all its own. It is different, but not simply for the sake of being different. And because of that, it might just be the best looking of the automaker's three SUVs.
Disagree. I think the XC60 is the best rendition. The XC40 flirts with being expressive and fun, but falls just short. And while it has dignified visual cues, the SUV's proportions cheapen them.
The XC40 R-Design's seats feature Alcantara suede seat inserts and manual thigh bolster adjustments.
For whatever reason, I could not get comfortable in the XC40 R-Design. Bolstering wasn't a problem. Rather, it was hard to get the right combination of cushion height and angle. I'd raise the seat, but lose thigh support. I'd lower the seat, and gain thigh support. As a result, I felt like I was sitting too low in the R-Design.
I had no trouble finding the right mix of adjustments in the XC40 Momentum. However, aside from the Momentum's different upholstery (full leather instead of a leather and Alcantara mix) and its lack of extending thigh bolsters, it appears that the seats are the same so I cannot explain the difference other than to note that the seats and power mirrors in our R-Design test vehicle were sometimes disinterested in responding to inputs.
The rear seats are just big enough for two adults, though people with longer legs will want to watch their knees and shins on the unforgiving hard plastic front seat backs (scratched up at less than 4,000 miles on the Momentum we drove). The cushions are flat and featureless in order to create a flat load floor when they're folded down. A small pass-thru from the cargo area expands utility.
Generally, the XC40's interior materials are cut from similar cloth in relation to the XC60 and XC90. There is more hard plastic in this model, but it is mostly smooth with a matte finish so it doesn't scream cheap. Quality leather, real aluminum trim, and soft touch surfaces where they count the most give the XC40 an appropriate entry-luxury feel.
Adults won't be happy in the XC40's rear seat, which lacks thigh support so that when the seats are folded down the resulting cargo load floor is flat.
Yeah, the rear seaters get the short end of the stick in the XC40. It's tight back there, as is reasonable to expect for a compact crossover. But it's also a lot less luxe than up front, which seems undemocratic. The backs seats, as Chris noted, don't have any contouring, and the materials that compose the seatbacks and door panels are hard, brittle plastics. My shortie also complained about the view out; with the thick B-pillar and the sharply angled C-pillar, along with the XC40's high beltline, it was difficult for her to see out of the car. At least there are rear air conditioning vents, along with available USB ports.
The front passenger and driver are pampered with nicer, premium materials, with soft-touch plastics and padded doorsills and armrests. I was able to find a good driving position and a comfortable ride, but, of course, it's nothing like the super-luxe seats of the high-zoot S90 sedan. I wanted to rip those out of that car and put them in the living room in front of our TV.
The front passenger's seat had a height adjuster, which is always worthy of a call out. About my only complaint is that in both of our XC40 test vehicles, a trim piece exists on the outer edge of both front seats with a protruding flash line. Wear shorts getting into the car, and your thigh will rub on it, making it feel like you've been poked with something sharp.
Volvo's Sensus infotainment system inspires a love-hate relationship for its simplicity and ease-of-use when the XC40 is parked, and its distracting nature when the XC40 is moving.
The people have spoken, and they like having extra room for their stuff. They don't necessary need extra room, but they like having extra room. Volvo thoughtfully addresses this with features like big door panel bins, a lined door nook, a sizable tray forward of the shifter, a little trash bin in the center console, and even an available shopping bag, purse, or messenger bag (man-purse) hook on the glove box door.
Maximum cargo capacity measures 20.7 cubic-feet behind the rear seats and 47.2 cu.-ft. with the rear seats folded down. These aren't very impressive numbers, even among small crossovers, but there's a useful, compartmentalized underfloor bin that keeps items like melons and bottles from rolling around. Also, more hooks.
The rear seats are split 40/20/40 and include a small pass-thru for items like skis or, if you've wiped out in the slalom, crutches. This arrangement allows for different configurations of passengers and their gear. The XC40's considerate approach to better, but not bigger, cargo flexibility is much appreciated.
I'm not as grateful for Volvo's Sensus infotainment system. Don't get me wrong: the big screen, mounted front and center in a saucily vertical fashion, looks fantastic and futuristic, and the graphics are beautiful. I just take issue when primary functions, like the climate control and radio stations, are integrated into it.
As far as touchscreens go, Sensus is fairly intuitive, and you don't have to dive too deeply into any particular menu to find what you need. My complaint is more of a practicality issue. Using a touchscreen requires attention and a fair degree of hand-eye coordination and precision compared to using buttons and knobs. And the more attention paid to it automatically means that less attention is paid to the road.
Though official cargo volume measurements are unimpressive, the XC40 provides a practical level of utility with the rear seats raised or folded down.
True, by the numbers the XC40's cargo volumes are not impressive. However, the company's value of 16.2 cu.-ft. when packed to the cargo cover is on par with most midsize sedans. In fact, it measures more than Volvo's own flagship sedan, the full-size S90. In that context, it is plenty roomy, and the fact that you can fold the seats down and create up to 47.2 cu.-ft. of total space with a nearly flat load floor simply serves to underscore why Americans love them some SUVs.
With regard to Sensus, I have a love-hate relationship with Volvo's infotainment system. I love that it looks and works just like a smartphone. I hate that it is almost dangerous to use while driving. I love the swipe, scroll, tap, pinch, and spread screen functions. I hate how Sensus shows every fingerprint and smudge after use. I love how you can use the voice recognition system to adjust volume, or cabin temperature, or change a radio station. I hate how long it takes Sensus to start up; on most days I was nearly out of the driveway before the reversing camera loaded.
Liz, you didn't mention the Volvo's transmission selector. I hated the stubby shifter, which incomprehensibly appears to default to Neutral unless you execute the required double-push up to engage Reverse and the double push down to engage Drive. Forget that, and you wind up revving the XC40's engine and going nowhere. To select Park, you push a button.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why car companies think it is necessary to change the classic PRNDL approach to automatic transmissions. This is not something a driver should need to think about.
Yeah, I too am a traditionalist when it comes to transmissions. Using novelty buttons and knobs takes away from the importance of putting the shifter in the correct gear.
At least this Volvo requires conscious action to put it in Park, Reverse or Drive. In our own SUV, which also has unnecessarily re-thought transmission controls, engaging Park is sometimes an afterthought. Did I put our car in Park before I shut off the engine? Does it matter, as it will do it automatically? And why am I even required to ask myself such questions before opening the door and getting out?
How it Drives
We tested two different versions of the new Volvo XC40, and each has its pros and cons.
Between these two XC40 models, I preferred driving the Momentum rather than the R-Design. It wasn't quite as much fun to drive, lacking the R-Design's stiffer suspension and bigger performance tires, but at the same time it was quieter inside and suffered less head toss over pavement undulations. The R-Design's ride quality was always busy, and always loud, whereas the Momentum was softer, calmer, and more composed. For daily driving, the Momentum gets my nod.
For canyon carving, though, I liked the R-Design's greater athleticism and exclusive transmission paddle shifters. Both versions of the SUV featured Eco, Comfort, Off-Road, and Dynamic driving modes, but the Momentum's all-season 19-inch tires and plusher suspension tuning restricted its capabilities in corners. That's not to say it's no good to drive in that environment. It just can't carry as much speed.
If you don't require all-wheel drive, the XC40 is available in T4 trim with front-wheel drive and a de-tuned turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 187 horsepower at 4,700 rpm and 221 lb.-ft. of torque between 1,400 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Most buyers, I'll bet, will pay the extra $2,000 in order to get all-wheel drive and a more powerful version of the engine making 248 hp at 5,500 rpm and 258 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,800 rpm to 4,800 rpm.
Once you get past the momentary lag between throttle application and turbocharger activation, the XC40 T5 AWD delivers satisfying performance. I had no trouble merging onto freeways, passing slower vehicles, or roaring up mountain grades. Mid-range response is excellent, and the 8-speed transmission behaved properly...in the Momentum.
Our R-Design test vehicle's transmission got completely befuddled during a difficult freeway merge during which I was on and off of the accelerator pedal three times in succession. For a moment, that XC40 would no longer accelerate, stuck at 60 mph, but after a few seconds this issue resolved itself.
Neither XC40 impressed me as far as braking is concerned. We returned the R-Design early because the front rotors were warped, creating a vibration with every pedal application and a shudder throughout the structure when hauling it down from speed. Volvo replaced it with the Momentum, but that XC40 also displayed a subtle shudder once the front discs got hot. Needless to say, I was not impressed. Something tells me that Care by Volvo customers will be visiting the dealership often in order to have the brakes checked out.
Both XC40's returned 22.7 mpg in mixed driving, well below the EPA's estimate of 26 mpg in combined driving. Maybe I enjoyed this Volvo's torque spread a little too much.
Shown here in Momentum T5 AWD trim, the Volvo XC40 is good to drive, but not great to drive.
Unfortunately, the R-Design was taken from us before I had a chance to take it on my test loop. That test vehicle's warped rotors were blatantly obvious, though, even as a passenger. The vibrations were awful. Therefore, my driving impressions are based solely on the T5 AWD Momentum, and I can say that its appearance was more memorable than its driving experience.
On my loop, which has more undulating pavement whoop-de-doos than Chris's does, the XC40 exhibited lots of float, with little of the bite in corners that urges a driver to toss it into another curve. There was quite a significant dead spot on center with the steering, too, preventing me from characterizing it as precise.
Unlike Mr. Picky did, I had no issues with the Momentum's brakes, finding them easy to modulate while providing authoritative stopping capability. Perhaps taking it out on my test loop earlier in the day, when it was chillier outside, made the difference?
Acceleration was dour, mostly due to turbo lag. And there was seemingly no payoff at the pumps for the XC40's small, turbocharged engine. Especially combined with a small 14.2-gallon fuel tank, trips to the gas station were more frequent than desirable.
Don't get me wrong; the XC40 drives just fine in most situations. It was very comfortable to drive around town, for example, and its petite dimensions allowed it to be tucked neatly into tiny holes in traffic or in parking spaces. It just lacks the spirit and character that many European cars possess, and which previous Scandinavian vehicles had in spades.
I might have felt differently if I had sampled the R-Design's performance upgrades on my test loop, but the XC40 Momentum lacked the fun, pugnacious driving character that its appearance promised.
Would we buy one?
Thanks to its "beachy vibe," it was only natural to photograph our XC40 T5 Momentum at the beach. This shot was taken on the shoulder of Pacific Coast Highway southbound, just before the big sand dune north of Malibu.
Her Verdict:
I was impressed by the solicitous nature of the Volvo XC40, especially its helpful storage solutions and refined cabin. And everyone loves to get a nice, warm feeling as they're approaching and entering their stylish vehicle. If we were living in a cosmopolitan, crowded city, the XC40 would make perfect sense.
As things stand, though, we need a little more space for our family of four, and we happen to live close to some of the greatest driving roads in the country. We also happen to really enjoy driving for the sake of it. Other luxury crossovers better deliver the athleticism we prefer, with no compromises with regard to composure, than the XC40.
His Verdict:
I might not buy a Volvo XC40 for myself, but I would recommend the XC40 to other people. Let me explain.
First, people buy crossover SUVs for their utility, and the XC40 provides plenty of it.
Second, people buy crossover SUVs for their weather-beating and adventuring capabilities, and the XC40 supplies all-wheel drive along with 8.3 inches of ground clearance and reasonable approach, breakover, and departure angles.
Third, Care by Volvo is a brilliant idea. It's probably cheaper to shop different dealerships, shop different insurance companies, and coupon-clip for maintenance and repairs, but it sure is easier to just make a single monthly payment and have Volvo deal with all of that stuff for you.
Fourth, people buy premium- and luxury-brand crossover SUVs for style, for sophistication, for comfort, and for making a statement, and the XC40 delivers on each of those points. Simply put, you feel good walking up to the XC40, you feel good getting into it, and you feel good while you're driving it.
So what if it doesn't produce a thrill when you tackle a twisty road? Satisfaction with a vehicle isn't rooted solely in driving dynamics, and the XC40 T5 AWD's turbocharged engine supplies plenty of power, along with acceleration to 60 mph in a claimed 6.1 seconds.
Just watch for glazed brake pads and warped front rotors. The XC40's brakes don't seem to be up to the task assigned to them, especially if you live in a hilly and hot region of the country.

PHOENIX (AP) — It's the week before the general election and poll workers for the Arizona county with 2.2 million of the state's 3.7 million registered voters gathered to train for their mission: Making sure Maricopa County's August primary nightmare doesn't happen again.
That's when dozens of polling stations for the sprawling area that includes Phoenix and its suburbs opened late and people who showed up early to vote couldn't cast ballots.
A group of about 15 mostly older workers at first appeared dazed and confounded as they received their initial instructions from a county elections trainer on how to work the voter check-in machines, printers and ballot tabulators used at all polling stations. But most quickly got the hang of it.
"I'm ready," declared Ruthie Jones, who never set up the machines during her previous stint as a temporary elections worker.
That's what the Democratic county elections chief, Adrian Fontes, hopes will be the case for the beefed-up roster of 4,000 people he's assigned to midterm election polling precincts — to fulfill his pledge that there won't be a repeat of the primary voting problems.
He received most of the criticism following the primary debacle, when 62 of the county's approximately 500 polling stations opened late. It happened two years after Fontes' predecessor, a Republican, was ousted over her decision to drastically reduce presidential primary polling locations, resulting in extremely long lines.
Fontes took heat from the county's Board of Supervisors for not warning voters ahead of time that some locations might not open on time, and they chided his contingency plan of using 40 vote centers as backup locations for voters whose normal precincts were not operational.
The polling station troubles served as a reminder that at a time when Russian hacking is a major concern in elections, human or technological errors often lead to voting problems.
In Los Angeles County, about 120,000 voters were left off the printed voting rolls in June because of a software error. That same month in South Dakota, officials could not get their equipment to connect to the internet, and voters had to cast provisional ballots.
Fontes, a former Marine and criminal lawyer, says the criticism of the polling station late openings doesn't concern him because voter turnout in Maricopa County hit a record high of 31 percent in the primaries and is expected to reach at least 55 percent Tuesday.
"I'm not so worried about the politics of it, because once you look at what actually happened, and you look at the numbers, we're doing a darned good job over here," he said.
Some polling stations will be set up Sunday, although most will be on Monday.
"We've got multiple layers of redundancy that we're deploying this time around," Fontes said.
An internal audit of the primary election faulted Fontes for not having an efficient system for setting up voting machines and a good enough backup plan for what to do if polling stations did not open. It also said workers did not properly track the lengths of the lines of voters. Results of an independent audit focusing on what went wrong are expected to be made public before Tuesday's election.
Fontes blames himself for hiring a contractor to set up the machines in August that checked in voters at the polls. He has said the contractor did not send enough workers in time for the poll openings, delaying them. The contractor has said it sent more technicians than were required.
Fontes said he is not taking any chances by having about 4,000 county workers setting up machines and working at the precincts. The county had roughly 2,400 poll workers in August, although primaries typically have lower turnout than general elections.
"We may have a little bit of overkill in our staffing. I'd rather have a couple of people standing around for an hour or two than have a contractor not show up at all," Fontes said.
