So I've got my Sultans Of Spark Coil Packs sitting in a box at the house. I can't hardly wait to put them on, but I just need a little bit of time to get it done. Oh, and I needed something else too…replacement hood struts. As I found out a short while ago, mine were both blown. Sometimes the hood would hold open for a few minutes, sometimes it would slam shut immediately. Not good material for making a video or doing an hours worth of work underhood.
Amazon had new hood struts for my car for 20 bucks. SRT4Ghoul was kind enough to hold the hood open for me while I got the new struts in. All told, maybe 5 minutes of our combined time consumed to knock that out. Basic maintenance like replacing a couple of hood struts shouldn't be ignored. After all, what good is it to have a beautiful, badass engine, if you can't even pop the hood to do an oil change?

How did this happen? How did a bad bill snowball into a monstrously bad bill that is both wildly unpopular and has a greater chance of passing than any other major legislation the GOP has attempted this year?
This bill has not one, but two original sins. The first, as Vox's Matt Yglesias wrote earlier this month, is that the corporate tax cut at its center is gargantuan. To meet the stipulations of the Senate's Byrd rule—which allows budgetary legislation to be passed with a bare majority of votes, as long as it's revenue-neutral after the first ten years—Republicans have been forced to shift the tax burden onto the middle class, to pilfer national health care and education programs, and to possibly introduce triggers for automatic spending cuts. Basically, the GOP is throwing anything and everything on the chopping block to protect that corporate tax cut, which would lower the rate by fifteen percentage points.
The second original sin is that, in order to please the president and disaffected donors, Republicans decided that they had to pass this bill fast. When tax reform was last undertaken, in 1986, it was done across party lines, and it took a full two years. This time, Republicans essentially shut out Democrats, who theoretically would have tried to shrink the corporate tax cut, boost middle class tax cuts, and keep Obamacare and other federal health care programs out of the legislation altogether. As a result, Republican lawmakers in the Senate, who are set to vote on an enormously complicated bill that was first unveiled less than 30 days ago, will likely not know what exactly they're voting for. The bill's amendments have not been made public and likely won't be until the bill hits the Senate floor.
This plan, in other words, is being driven for entirely cynical reasons. Trump and congressional Republicans are not always aligned, but the stealthy and swift push to enact this legislation ticks off necessary boxes for both camps. Trump is desperate to pass something—despite claiming that he has done more than any other "ten-month president," he needs a "signature achievement." Congressional Republicans, meanwhile, are facing a revolt from donors and questions from a base that doesn't understand why the GOP's unified control of government has produced next to nothing in terms of legislation. Unsurprisingly, this is not a recipe for good lawmaking.
Every possible justification for this bill is in question. While Republicans say the plan's lower rates will boost overall economic growth, Trump's own Treasury Department has reneged on its promise to produce studies that back up that claim. While Republicans say everyone will get a tax break under their bill, independent studies agree that millions of middle-class families will ultimately see a tax hike. While Republicans claim that a corporate tax break will trickle down to workers, there is little evidence to bear this out. The economy is growing and the Dow Jones just cracked 24,000 for the first time in its history—and yet companies aren't raising wages. There is no reason to believe that they will behave any differently if suddenly presented with a much lower tax rate. Indeed, corporations have indicated that, if the law passes, they will hoard the profits or pay them out to shareholders, instead of raising wages or investing.
The bill's effect on the deficit has caused some hand-wringing among Republicans, who traditionally rail against deficit growth any time a Democrat is in the Oval Office. There were reports earlier this week that some Republicans were considering a provision that would trigger automatic tax increases if the bill failed to achieve the kind of economic growth Republicans have promised. But that would be too responsible, and was quickly shot down. Instead, the Republicans have turned to their favorite deficit-cutting tool: slashing programs for the needy. Although it's not yet clear what, if any, deficit "trigger" Republicans will include in the bill, reports on Wednesday indicate that they've settled on one that will involve automatic spending cuts, including to programs like Medicare.
As damaging as this bill would be, the outrage has been minimal. As I argued earlier this week, this is partly the media's fault, which has failed to convey the true depths of what should be a national scandal. But the speed and complexity of this legislation has also quelled the kind of activism that helped kill Obamacare repeal over the summer. No individual aspect of this bill is quite as bad as the nucleus of Republican health care reform: 24 million people losing their health insurance at a stroke. But in aggregate, the tax reform bill is at least as bad. Eleven million people could be uninsured, while premiums spike. Medicare and Medicaid could be made vulnerable to sweeping cuts. More money in the economy will be funneled toward the top. These are serious consequences for a bill that is supposedly about cutting taxes.
And that's ultimately the issue here. This bill is moving through Congress at a dizzying clip because it's packaged as a tax cut. Republicans have turned those words into an ideological holy grail, insisting that this overstuffed and undercooked legislation, which will result in profound changes to federal health care and likely other social programs, is about the greater good of cutting taxes. They argue that these cuts will result in wage growth and job creation, even though there is little evidence that they will do anything of the sort. It is quite simply a massive sham.

Moderna University (Universidade Moderna) was a Portuguese private university headquartered in Lisbon, with departments in Setúbal, Porto and Beja. The institution was authorized by the Portuguese Ministry of Education to provide university higher education services in 1994 (Decree law: DL 313/94 de 23 de Setembro). It was shut down by the Portuguese Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education on 30 July 2008.

2007 investigations
In 2007, the university was on the brink of being closed by the Portuguese ministry responsible for higher education in Portugal, after reports of several irregularities arise during a state-managed investigation on private higher education in the country. It was closed in the summer of 2008 by lack of economic and financial capacity.

« Can you fly? »
(Kirie Fujou)
Kirie Fujou (巫条霧絵, Fujō Kirie?) is the antagonist of the first chapter of Kara no Kyoukai.
Kirie is a woman in her late twenties who is a descendant of an ancient shaman lineage, the Fujou clan.[2] They are a family of the Demon Hunter's Association as ancient as the Ryougis and Asakamis, and they are skilled in curses, which in common Magecraft are difficult to actualize. Kirie is the last surviving member of the main family of Fujou clan, though Kohaku and Hisui are members of a branch family.
Many years earlier, her parents and little brother died in a car accident. She was stricken with a terminal illness when she was 17 and was bedridden in the city hospital for 10 years.
Araya encountering Kirie
In 1995, Souren Araya meets Kirie, as one of the three to meet him including Fujino Asagami and Lio Shirazumi, in the hospital and helps her awaken her ability. Araya claims to be acquainted with Kirie's father and helps pay her hospital bills.[3]
During in 1996 to 1998, she developed a romantic attraction to Mikiya Kokutou and jealousy towards Shiki Ryougi during the two years in which Mikiya visited the comatose Ryougi, though he appears to be oblivious to this.
A woman in her late twenties, Kirie had long black hair (with a blue hue in the film) that obscured most of her face.[2] Aged at 27, she was mainly depicted as wearing a white hospital gown for most of her appearance. Her second body noticeably possessed longer flowing hair that levitated, often covering her eyes. This combined with her second body possessing a billowing white dress (seemingly a larger version of her white hospital gown), gave her the appearance of a traditional Japanese ghost. Her overall frame was rather thin, enough for Shiki to liken her second body's haunting appearance to that of a skeleton's bones. In contrast, her billowing white dress was described as giving her the beautfiul appearance of a lilly flower.

Kirie is quiet and timid. She is defined by day-dreaming and floating. She has been plagued by disease and spent her life in the hospital ward. After losing her sight, she viewed the world with renewed clarity, and was set free by Souren with another body after awakening her spiritual ability. She has no goal even with this body, so she has nowhere to go. She lingers and floats, and although she desires to make new friends, they cannot hear her or sense her and this causes her to grow lonely. She possesses their souls with the intention of making them notice her, resulting in the body of the victims to commit suicide in the process.[2]
Despite her subdued demeanor, she continued to use her power to the point of escapism; even though she was aware towards the eventual fate of her victims. Only when she was caught by Touko does she freely admit to her crimes. Although she had possessed Mikiya, she has shown a sense of compassion by never actually tampering with him enough to cause his body to commit suicide. When Kirie's second body encountered death through her fight with Shiki, this caused her to develop a fondness for the feelings she felt during the experience. She likens the feeling of death as if "life" was brought back inside her ill body, and as such chooses to commit suicide to relive the same experience. Before death, Kirie believed that the only way she could return to the reality of the normal world after being deprived of experience for being bed-ridden for so long was to allow herself to finally die.
Kara no Kyoukai Edit
Chapter 1: Overlooking the Scenery Edit
After Araya gave her a second body that allowed her to enter the state of a dual existence, she used these innate curse abilities to perpetuate the Fujou Building suicide spree, in which highschool students are reported as mysteriously committing suicide despite little to no indication in the personality and circumstances of the victims. At the same time, Mikiya is discovered by Shiki to have fallen into a state of deep coma due to unknown circumstances. Shiki and Touko deduce that the suicide spree may be connected to Mikiya's predicament, When Shiki decides to investigate the site of the suicide spree at nighttime, she glimpses at the rooftop discovering seven floating apparitions surrounding what seems to be a leading ghostly figure; later revealed to be Kirie's second body. Discussing the matter with Shiki Ryougi, Touko notes that the records of the suicide victims possibly remain on top of the twenty-story building, resulting in appariton-like figures to constantly form around the rooftop. Due to the resonance and memory of the victims being delayed from actually matching with the deceased state of their bodies, this allows them to remain floating as unconscious minds.
After causing the death of her fourth victim, Kirie's second body was confronted by Shiki Ryougi inside the Fujou Building out of worry for Mikiya's sake. Due to Shiki's lack of experience in using her prosthetic left arm, Kirie was able to possess the hand very easily; with it serving as a vessel to allow her to try and attack Shiki. Though initially overwhelmed, Shiki is able to amputate her prosthetic hand, thereby stopping Kirie's assault. Amused, Kirie quietly withdraws as Shiki decides to retreat to have her prosthetic arm repaired by Touko Aozaki.
After causing the death of her seventh victim, she is finally confronted by Shiki for another battle on top of the Fujou Building. After Shiki destroys the apparition-like remnants of Kirie's victims, Kirie attempts to use her ability to possess and cause Shiki to commit suicide. Due to Shiki's detachment and affinity for death, Kirie's mental assault fails just as Shiki uses the ability of her new prosthetic arm to grasp and choke Kirie at a great distance, until deciding to let go of her as a means to taunt her into further attacking her. Growing furious, Kirie continues to curse Shiki to commit suicide using her auto-suggestive ability. Shiki suddenly drives her knife through Kirie's second body, causing her ghostly form to die. This results in her connection being damaged, allowing her original body to awaken in near-shock, though the severity of the separation was not sufficient enough to get killed by Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. She is quickly confronted in person by Touko, where the two admit their roles as enemies. After having a lengthy conversation with Touko. in which she is questioned by her, she decides to commit suicide believing that she has nothing to live for, all while desiring the same experience she felt when Shiki had killed her second body. After her death, Mikiya wakes up from his unconscious state with little to no awareness of the incident and his possession.
Kirie's final moments before committing suicide
Dying at the age of 27, Kirie's corpse is found at the site of the Fujou Building suicide spree where she was pronounced dead on-site in the morning with the implication that she committed suicide by jumping. The Fujou Building is revealed to be previously owned by her parents, though it has long been abandoned with the decision of its demolition having been delayed for many years. Despite the cause of her death being the same as the other high school students, the media rules out the possibility she was related to the same suicide spree due to her older age and lack of any seeming connection towards the victims. When Touko is asked by Azaka as to what she feels about the notion of suicide, Touko muses, "It's just that she was not able to fly today", referring to Kirie's inability to accept her bed-ridden fate.
The Fujou family made a living by channeling beings such as wayward spirits and Gods. The itako of Mount Osore lost their sight due to looking into the realm of the dead, but Kirie's power blossoms as a result of losing her sight to illness.[2]
Her ancestry grants her unnatural vitality, but this has only prolonged her life beyond what a normal human being should be able to survive, rather than allowing her to overcome her illness. In addition to her fragile health, she has also lost most of her eyesight, though this allows her the ability to view remotely from locations she fixated on while still able to see.
Kirie and her ghost victims
After accidentally developing her abilities in a state of complete control, Kirie is able to project her mind on a wide area all while being able to possess vessels (i.e. human bodies) and create auto-suggestive drives in their minds (e.g. commit suicide). Through her second body, Kirie's ability is amplified to the point in which she is able to channel herself and possess individuals on a wide and panoramic scale, enough for her to willingly choose her victims. This causes her victims' bodies to act lifeless, in which they are easily driven to death, thus creating the impression of a suicide. Kirie has enough control over her abilities to the point that she was able to prevent Mikiya's body from committing suicide despite seemingly possessing him the same way as her other victims.

Kirie Fujou [Person's name]
A woman in her late twenties. One of the three who made contact. A descendant of an ancient shaman lineage. A character defined by day-dreaming and floating.
Kirie was a woman plagued by disease and spent her life in the hospital ward. After losing her sight, she viewed the world with renewed clarity, and was set free by Araya Souren with another body.
However, without a goal, Kirie had nowhere to go. She lingered and floated, resulting in several victims.
As an aside, the Fujous made a living by channeling (e.g. wayward spirits, Gods, etc). They are a house as ancient as the Ryougis and Asakamis. Although the itako of Mount Osore lost their sight due to looking into the realm of the dead, Kirie's power blossomed as a result of losing her sight to illness.

Q: It seems as though Kirie's father and Araya were acquainted somehow, but what sort of relationship did they have, specifically? <Sky Blue>
Nasu: Saying that he was an acquaintance of her father was just a little white lie. He needed a pretense to take over handling the payment of Kirie's hospital bills after her family died. His face might be scary, but Araya really was Kirie's secret guardian angel.
Takeuchi: What a great guy…
Nasu: Preparing for everything is the secret to victory. Well, even Araya's great efforts couldn't account for Shiki falling in love with a normal person, or the loss of the first person he scouted, or finally, in Chapter 5, that utterly worthless guy who… whoops! I've said too much.

The European Commission said on Wednesday that 11 European Union states were experiencing economic imbalances that should be addressed and from among these Italy, Cyprus and Croatia had "excessive" imbalances.
Brussels has warned Italy's economy is suffering from severe imbalances, heightening tension between the EU and Rome after the triumph of populist Eurosceptic parties at its elections at the weekend, news outlets reported.
In its latest health-check of member states' economies, the European Commission said Italy was one of two eurozone economies that are still experiencing "excessive economic imbalances" as a result of its high debt pile and slow progress in enacting major structural reforms.
The report was drawn up before the country's weekend election where mainstream parties were trounced at the ballot box in favor of anti-establishment forces who have promised to rip up EU spending rules.
Brussels is watching closely as the Five Star Movement, or M5S—which emerged as the biggest single party on Sunday—tries to find coalition partners to allow it to form a majority government. M5S campaigned to implement a universal basic income for Italian citizens and overhaul major pension reforms, both policies that would likely blow a hole in Italy's public finances.
Matteo Salvini, head of the anti-immigrant Northern League, which is also vying to form a rightwing coalition government has promised to take back control of the spending levers to help the poorest. "We will go to Europe to change rules which have impoverished the Italians", Salvini said this week.
Italy has long struggled to comply with the eurozone's debt and deficit rules and has the highest debt pile of any eurozone economy after Greece. But the EU has been careful to avoid stoking tension with Rome under its 15-month caretaker government, giving Rome time and leeway to hit its targets.
But on Wednesday the commission acknowledged Italy had only made "some" progress on the implementing EU-mandated reforms. "Limited progress" had been achieved in revamping the tax system, privatizing state assets and creating a more efficient civil judicial system, said the report.
Delays over forming a new coalition government could still lead Brussels to avoid taking any tough action against the country, said Valdis Dombrovskis, EU vice commissioner in charge of the euro.
The eurozone's third-largest economy—one of the EU's founding member states—has been the worst performing member state in terms of economic growth since the start of the single currency, Reuters said.
"Given its systemic importance, Italy is a source of potentially significant spillovers to the rest of the eurozone", said the commission.
Bulgaria, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden are the other eight states that need to address economic shortcomings. Slovenia has been removed from the list of countries experiencing imbalances.

Q: Checking if List is Null inside LINQ to SQL query? I have a List lstStudents = GetStudents() //this method can return null.
Now I am trying to run this query on my DB table student,
var result = (from c in student
             where lstStudents.Contains(c.name)
             select c);

How do I check if lstStudents is not null inside the query.
Note: I know I can check it before this query is run but I cannot do that for some other reason. And if I try (lstStudents!=null) inside query it errors out.

Cannot compare elements of type
  'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib,
  Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]'.
  Only primitive types, enumeration types and entity types are
  supported.

Any help is appreciated.

A: public List<string> GetStudents()
{
    return null;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using(var ed = new DataClasses1DataContext())
    {
        List<string> lstStudents = GetStudents();

        var tst =
            (from c in ed.Baleni
            where (lstStudents ?? new List<string>()).Contains(c.b_poznamka)
            select c)
        .ToList();
    }
}

.net 4.0.0.0, works without problem (I only used different table in my database).

A: This should work
var result =  db.users.Where(x=> list != null && list.Any(a=>
a.Contain(x.Email)));

Q: how to open application when i click on it in launcher app android i working on launcher app and want to know how to launch application like Facebook app when i click on it from the home screen of the launcher
i tried this code but its open all the package from the store directly , and i want this click open or launch the application from the device  directly
    Button facebook= (Button) findViewById(R.id.facebook);
    facebook.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        final String appPackageName = "com.facebook.katana";
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));

    }
    });

     }

so is there is another way to launch it directly from the device ?

A: If you're building a custom launcher I would expect that you are programatically establishing which applications are already installed on the device using PackageManager's methods, but from your sample it appears you are assuming Facebook is already installed.
Anyway, you can use PackageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage:
        Intent launchIntent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.facebook.katana");
        startActivity(launchIntent);

Note that getLaunchIntent will throw NameNotFoundException if Facebook is not installed, so you should make the display of the icon conditional on Facebook being installed. It will return null if there is no launch intent for the package too, so you should guard against that as well.


How do you know if you have the flu? Common signs of influenza are high fever, severe body aches, headache, extreme tiredness, sore throat, cough, runny or stuffy nose, and vomiting, and or, diarrhea, which is more common in children.
According to the CDC, the best protection against the flu is to get a flu vaccine, which is still widely available.
1) Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue, or use your sleeve when coughing or sneezing, and throw the tissue away after use. If a tissue isn't available, cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands. Then, be sure you use a sanitizer on your hands to kill off germs.
2) Wash your hands often, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (60 to 95 percent alcohol) especially after coughing or sneezing, or touching public doors, stairway railings,other people's computer mouse and keyboards, and so on.
3) Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
4) And if you're sick, or your child is sick, stay home!
5) Carry anti-bacterial wipes with you, along with alcohol-based hand sanitizer (Must be 60 to 95 percent alcohol to be effective).
If someone in your household comes down with the flu, the best way to care for them is to designate one person to be the caregiver.
As a caregiver, use plastic throw away gloves when handling items touched by the person who is sick. Be sure to clean or dispose of gloves frequently, and wash your hands well with soap and water after removing your gloves.
If you can separate the one who is sick from the rest of the family, that might ease the contagion, also.
Keep everyone's personal items separated. Household members should avoid sharing pens, papers, clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, drinking, food or eating utensils unless thoroughly cleaned between uses.
Disinfect doorknobs, light switches, handles, computers, telephones, toys and other surfaces that are commonly touched around the home or workplace.
Wash everyone's dishes in the dishwasher or by hand using very hot water and soap.
Wash everyone's clothes in a standard washing machine using detergent and very hot water, and wash your hands after handling dirty laundry.
Wear disposable gloves when in contact with or cleaning up body fluids.


There have been so much going round concerning SEO. For those who are not conversant with SEO, you might have a hard time getting to terms with what SEO is. Most see it as a Ponzi scheme: which it obviously isn't. Well, albeit all the misconceptions surrounding amazing SEO, one thing will always stand: it will still mean good for your site. SEO is responsible for the good reports that websites get on search engine rankings check report software.
The myths may seem to be harmless at the start, but they will definitely get in the way of you trusting SEO to elevate your brand. Understanding SEO will change your whole perception regarding the concept. You can start by understanding what SEO is and what it is not.
No one should make you think that SEO will work overnight. No, in SEO's history it has never worked like that. What this tells you is that you should not depend on SEO to salvage your business if it is going to the drains at the moment. You will be disappointed.
You first need to understand that the role of SEO is to ensure that your search engine rankings checker give you something pleasant. A high search engine ranks make you visible to visitors who after that become leads and are converted to sales. That says that the goal here is to improve your bottom line. Increasing your net income is something gradual. To see results you need to start as soon as now. Last minute with SEO will not give you the results you wish for as soon as you need them. Implement SEO in your digital marketing efforts and monitor search engine rank: you should be okay with time.
SEO has the cost advantage over most of the traditional modes of marketing. However, it is important to note that it is not entirely free. Yes, you might have the option of not spending from time to time, however, if you want to be impressed on a search engine rankings checker, you might need to go back into your pockets. For instance, if you are not well versed in SEO, you will need to pay someone who is more experienced to help you get started.
More so, there will need to combine paid ads and organic traffic to get a steady flow of visitors to your audience. It does not have to be too costly, but you will definitely have to chip in something. Besides, you will need to monitor search engine rank. For that, you will need a search engine ranking report software.
Posting great content will make a contribution to the reports you will get in your search engine rankings checker, but not its own. If you are making your site's architecture user-friendly, improving your page loading speed, updating your content, properly using your keywords, having the best Metadata and making it easy for Google bots to locate you, then you are doing a great job at on-site optimization.
Including off-site strategies is what will get you a good position in your search engine ranking report software. These strategies include social media marketing, boosting your traffic through paid ads, reaching out to influencers, guest posting and forum submission. Give the strategy a shot today, monitor your search engine rank and keep improving your strategies.
If anything, poor web design will only hurt your SEO. Your SEO strategy might have the potential to get you in the good books of your search engine rankings checker; however if your site's architecture is not up to standards, it might get in the way of you being impressed when you monitor search engine rank.
Good web design and SEO should complement each other rather than substitute, for you to get your website where it ought to be in the search engine rankings checker. Good web design is characterized by having search-friendly URLs. Do not give the visitors a hard time finding you. Your web designer should be able to externalize the scripts as he codes. Also, your image alt attributes need to be descriptive. Header tags and Metadata is something that you should also pay attention to for a fruitful search engine rankings check.
Seriously, you need to understand that SEO is not all about Google. As much as Google is the most used search engine and it very useful when it comes to search engine rankings check. If it is habitual of you to monitor search engine rank, then you might have already noticed that Google is responsible for most of the traffic that you get on your site.
However, it is also essential for you to note that SEO is not all about impressing Google. There are some reasons as to why you need to stop directing all of your efforts to Google algorithm. One is because there are other search engines like Bing that have potential to bring you as much traffic as Google does, only if you also considered them in your SEO strategies.
There is much more apart from focusing on ranking that will get your business where it needs to be. Social media marketing has more than often been underestimated. It holds so much value to your site. What that tells us that, it is about time that you also paid attention to the algorithms of other search engines and get something on your search engine rankings check from them too. You might want to learn about Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Yahoo, and Youtube.
If you are looking for magic, then you are in the wrong place. The same thought is shared with people who have the notion that SEO can work overnight. No! It requires loads of hard work. There are no longer shortcuts in SEO. Take this exercise, monitor search engine rank for your successful competitor. You will notice that they are not ranking for keyword density.
As much as SEO might have worked like magic in the past, your luck is long gone. Google's algorithms have changed, and you will only get a good position when you do a search engine rankings check only if you are deserving. There are no more 'tricks' to ride on. You better buckle up and get right to work. Do the research, employ SEO best practices and analyze the various SEO metrics and you will get the results you have been wishing for. Hard work and devotion: strictly no magic!
As mentioned earlier, SEO cannot work on its own. You will have to merge the efforts with other elements of a digital marketing strategy for it to be effective. A digital marketing strategy entails all the plans that you have put on the forefront in a bid to accomplish your marketing goal.
You need to create personas. For this to be effective, you need to take the time to understand the market. The question you should be asking at this point is what your customers need. With such answers, it will be even easier for you to align your SEO strategy to your digital marketing strategy. It is also essential to assess the digital assets and channels that are at your disposal.
What this tells you is that you need to be able to balance your overall digital strategy and your SEO strategy. Negligence of either strategy will only weigh down the other.
Buying your way to the top is nothing but a myth. There is nothing such as cheating or buying your way to the top in SEO. You need to work for it. Google algorithm for ranking has changed over the time to ensure that there is fairness in ranking. For instance, today keyword stuffing cannot get you at the top of the search engine results page.
The keyword you use should be relevant and should help the users to find what they are looking for if they are unable to do that, then your site will not get rewarded for the specific keywords. There is another thing that you need to know. Duplicating content will get you nowhere. In fact, your site will suffer from that. Linking with spammy sites is also another thing that will do you more harm than good.
Before you get started with SEO, it is vital for you to come to terms with the fact that you need to work. You will dedicate a lot of time and other resources to SEO, the beauty of it, however, is that your efforts will pay off.
SEO is indeed not dead. Most critics and people who lack an understanding of SEO will often say that SEO is dead if it is not then it is on the verge of it. That is not true. SEO is very much alive and not looking to die any time soon. SEO still holds an important place. What are the indicators?
Well, you must be well aware that search engines keep revising their algorithms in a bid to support SEO best practices. If SEO did not hold much importance, then the search engines would have no reason for investing in it by improving their algorithm.
The world is going mobile. In fact, 60 percent of Google queries originate from mobile devices. What that tells you is that there is a rising need for optimizing websites to make them mobile friendly: this has been made possible by SEO. As people continue opting for online shopping, companies cannot afford to ignore the importance that a great user experience holds in giving those leads and conversions. It has seen the use of sitemaps, an SEO function that is meant to boost communication across search engines.
The contribution that SEO practices make to the position of a website when one does search engine rankings check cannot be overlooked. It has made it possible for the brands to be visible and boosted sales.
SEO is not a one-off process. It is continuous: which make it even amazing. It being continuous makes it an investment from which a business is bound to benefit from for an extended period. As much as SEO might be challenging especially for beginners, it does not make it any less learnable. While creating your SEO strategy, it is vital to remember that you are not only focused on being in the good books of the search engine but the customers too. With the knowledge on what SEO is and what it is not, nothing should now stop you from making SEO work for your brand.

Former FBI Director James Comey was set to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday to discuss his relationship with President Donald Trump, allegations about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and other hot topics.
In that context, prior to the January 6 meeting, I discussed with the FBI's leadership team whether I should be prepared to assure President-Elect Trump that we were not investigating him personally. That was true; we did not have an open counter-intelligence case on him. We agreed I should do so if circumstances warranted. During our one-on-one meeting at Trump Tower, based on PresidentElect Trump's reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the question, I offered that assurance.
The President and I had dinner on Friday, January 27 at 6:30 pm in the Green Room at the White House. He had called me at lunchtime that day and 3 invited me to dinner that night, saying he was going to invite my whole family, but decided to have just me this time, with the whole family coming the next time. It was unclear from the conversation who else would be at the dinner, although I assumed there would be others.
Near the end of our dinner, the President returned to the subject of my job, saying he was very glad I wanted to stay, adding that he had heard great things 4 about me from Jim Mattis, Jeff Sessions, and many others. He then said, "I need loyalty." I replied, "You will always get honesty from me." He paused and then said, "That's what I want, honest loyalty." I paused, and then said, "You will get that from me." As I wrote in the memo I created immediately after the dinner, it is possible we understood the phrase "honest loyalty" differently, but I decided it wouldn't be productive to push it further. The term – honest loyalty – had helped end a very awkward conversation and my explanations had made clear what he should expect.
When the door by the grandfather clock closed, and we were alone, the President began by saying, "I want to talk about Mike Flynn." Flynn had resigned 5 the previous day. The President began by saying Flynn hadn't done anything wrong in speaking with the Russians, but he had to let him go because he had misled the Vice President. He added that he had other concerns about Flynn, which he did not then specify.
The FBI leadership team agreed with me that it was important not to infect the investigative team with the President's request, which we did not intend to abide. We also concluded that, given that it was a one-on-one conversation, there was nothing available to corroborate my account. We concluded it made little sense to report it to Attorney General Sessions, who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in Russia-related investigations. (He did so two weeks later.) The Deputy Attorney General's role was then filled in an acting capacity by a United States Attorney, who would also not be long in the role. After discussing the matter, we decided to keep it very closely held, resolving to figure out what to do with it down the road as our investigation progressed. The investigation moved ahead at full speed, with none of the investigative team members – or the Department of Justice lawyers supporting them – aware of the President's request.
The President went on to say that if there were some "satellite" associates of his who did something wrong, it would be good to find that out, but that he 7 hadn't done anything wrong and hoped I would find a way to get it out that we weren't investigating him.

Q: Strange encoding behaviour with jsoup I extract some information from the html sourcecode of different pages with jsoup. Most of them are UTF-8 encoded. One of them is encoded with ISO-8859-1, which leads to a strange error (in my optinion).
The page that contains the error is:
http://www.gudi.ch/armbanduhr-metall-wasserdicht-1280x960-megapixels-p-560.html
I read the needed String with the following piece of code:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.gudi.ch/armbanduhr-metall-wasserdicht-1280x960-megapixels-p-560.html").userAgent("Mozilla").get();
String title = doc.getElementsByClass("products_name").first().text();

The problem is the hyphen in the String "HD Armbanduhr aus Metall 4GB Wasserdicht 1280X960 – 5 Megapixels". Normal umlauts like öäü are read correctly. Only this single character, which is not outputed as "& #45;" makes the problem.
I tried to override the (correctly set) page-encoding with out.outputSettings().charset("ISO-8859-1") but that didn't help either.
Next, i tried do change the encoding of the string with the Charset class from and to utf8 and iso-8859-1 manually. Also no luck.
Has someone a tip on what i can try to get the correct character after parsing the html document with jsoup?
Thanks

A: This is a mistake of the website itself. It are actually three mistakes:

*

*The page is served without any charset in the HTTP Content-Type response header. There's ISO-8859-1 in the HTML meta tag, but this is ignored when the page is served over HTTP! The average webbrowser will either try smart detection or use platform default encoding to encode the webpage, which is CP1252 on Windows machines.

*The <meta> tag pretends that the content is ISO-8859-1 encoded, but the actual character – (U+2013 EN DASH) is not covered by that charset at all. It is however covered by the CP1252 charset as 0x0096.

*According to the webpage source code, the product name uses the literal character – instead of the HTML entity – as spotted elsewhere on the same webpage.
Jsoup can fix many badly developed webpages transparently, but this one goes really beyond Jsoup. You need to manually read it in and then feed it as CP1252 to Jsoup.
String url = "http://www.gudi.ch/armbanduhr-metall-wasserdicht-1280x960-megapixels-p-560.html";
InputStream input = new URL(url).openStream();
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(input, "CP1252", url);
String title = doc.select(".products_name").first().text();

When Disney premiered Sofia the First back in 2012, they pioneered a blueprint on the production of similar 3D-animated series in fantastic settings and starring young female characters that help others and solve problems. The formula was revisited in Elena of Avalor, Doc McStuffins, Vampirina and now one new show.
Disney Junior has begun work on Mira, Royal Detective – an animated series following in the convention footsteps of Sofia the First. Set in the magical kingdom of Jalpur, which takes inspiration from India, it follows Mira, a young girl who becomes Royal Detective of Jalpur after rescuing the kingdom's prince.
Mira, Royal Detective will premiere on Disney Junior sometime in 2020.

Commission updated on Lakin Prison proposal
The Mason County Commission hosts an informal meeting about the proposed changes to Lakin Correctional Center by the West Virginia Division of Corrections.
Commissioner Tracy Doolittle questions West Virginia Division of Corrections Commissioner Jim Rubenstein on the DOC's proposal to shift the Lakin Correctional Center's population from female to male.
POINT PLEASANT — "I believe we're all very proud of the Lakin facility now … it gives a lot back to community. I guess we're trying to figure out why are we changing something when it's not broken?"
This was a question posed by Commissioner Tracy Doolittle to West Virginia Division of Corrections Commissioner Jim Rubenstein at Wednesday's informal meeting about proposed changes to the Lakin Correctional Center, namely, switching the female population to a male population and its implications.
Joining Rubenstein at the meeting, were additional DOC personnel, including Warden Lori Nohe and other Lakin staff members. Also at the meeting, Delegates Scott Cadle, Mike Ihle, Jim Butler and Sen. Mitch Carmichael. Hosting the roundtable were Mason County Commissioners Doolittle, Miles Epling and Rick Handley.
As previously reported, the DOC has bid on property in Pendleton County, specifically the naval base at Sugar Grove that the federal government is closing in September. The proposal is to purchase the property and convert it into a female prison with the capacity to hold 613 inmates. The Lakin female population would be shifted to the Sugar Grove site and a male population would be housed at Lakin which, as of Wednesday, was housing 516 female inmates with minimum, medium and maximum security needs. If the plan is approved, it would be phased in over a period of three years and at some point, the population at Lakin would temporarily be both male and female as the transition occurs and upgrades to the new facility at Sugar Grove are made.
Upgrades to the Sugar Grove facility are estimated to cost around $19 million, Rubenstein said.
At Wednesday's meeting, Rubenstein said the federal government solicited bids from the state concerning the property and last month, the DOC was informed it had been awarded the bid. Now, the decision lies with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin as to if the project moves forward or dies.
As for how Rubenstein answered the "if it isn't broken why fix it" question posed by Doolittle, he said he needed to look at where the needs of the DOC were. When looking at Lakin, he said the women didn't need the number of cells at the facility though men, who would be medium-security inmates, are better suited for a facility of that nature. He added there would also be minimum-security males at Lakin as well.
Doolittle asked if the female correctional officers currently at Lakin would keep their jobs, to which Rubenstein said, "Absolutely." He said all correctional officers receive the same training, regardless of gender. However, it was also noted the 40 new positions that would be created by the switch to a male population would be brought about because male prisons require more posts.
Rubenstein said as far as additional security at Lakin, should the plan be green-lighted, a hot-wire security system would be placed on the fence at the facility to alert correctional officers if an offender touches it and where, which amounts to having an officer on the fence's perimeter. Other than that, he said there would be no real physical changes to the facility. He also said Lakin has a lot of "security bells and whistles" and was more suited to a male population. He added community programs where inmates do community service would stay in place, only with the minimum-security male offenders participating.
Rubenstein said there are 1,100 offenders currently serving their prison sentences in regional jails who will wait around 11 months to actually get one of the 5,850 beds the DOC offers. He also said the female population has grown significantly. He added the cost of building an entirely new prison facility is in the neighborhood of $150 million to $250 million.
"There was a lot of concern years ago when we got Lakin," Epling said. "And I remember Senator Craigo and Delegate Hall promising the people of Mason County this would always remain a female facility — always. Now you want to change it to a male prison and we're to believe it will never be anything more than a medium-security facility because you all tell us that?"
Epling expressed concern over DOC returning years from now and housing "hard-core" inmates at Lakin because of changing needs.
Rubenstein said there were only two facilities, Mount Olive or Huttonsville, equipped to house maximum security male offenders.
"We really didn't know until a month ago we were the recipient of the base in Pendleton County," Rubenstein said.
"So this is a go?" Epling said.
"That is our plan," Rubenstein said, stressing the final call was with the governor. "We would want to work with the commission, legislators, the community, we're not closing anything down. Nobody's losing jobs."
A member of the public attending the meeting asked Rubenstein if he had run a feasibility study with the people of Mason County before starting the endeavor and he said he had not. The man also said he didn't want this affecting his property value, which was an issue the commissioners heard about from other residents via letters.
Sen. Carmichael said he was not in favor of the plan and had expressed this to the DOC and the governor's office. He said he agreed with the statement by Epling that promises made should be promises that are kept.
"I am a vociferous opponent of changing Lakin," Carmichael said.
Del. Scott Cadle echoed that sentiment and said he wanted to sponsor a bill to raise the pay rates of correctional officers. More on this part of Wednesday's discussion in an upcoming article in the Point Pleasant Register.
Del. Jim Buter said he was also "opposed to the change at this point." Del. Mike Ihle agreed, saying, if this was a good plan for the people of Mason County, he wasn't convinced of it yet.
Rubenstein said he hoped to hear about the project's fate soon from the governor's office, but did not have a time frame. He told commissioners he, along with Warden Nohe, would follow up with them, as well as local legislators on the project's fate.
Commissioner Doolittle said she would like for them to come back to update the commission about it. Last week, both she and Epling were frustrated by what appeared to be a lack of communication with local officials about the proposal.

"Truly Outrageous" Discovery Violations Prejudicing Plaintiff's Case Earn Recommendation of Dispositive Sanctions
A study in extremes.
By Andrew M. Toft
Default judgment or summary judgment as sanctions for discovery violations are predictably rare. The imposition of such drastic remedies requires particularly close analysis by the judicial officer assigned to hear the dispute. Hence a 37-page opinion and recommendation by the magistrate judge in Martinez v City of New York, 2018WL604019 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 24, 2018). Although dispositive sanctions were later rejected in favor of lesser but significant sanctions by the Article III judge in a ruling issued April 18, 2018, the case presents a study in extremes.
The plaintiff brought a section 1983 civil rights action against the New York Police Department arising from her arrest. After nearly two years of discovery that required the issuance of no fewer than 14 court orders, the plaintiff discovered that the defendant continued to withhold evidence critical to her case, and moved for dispositive sanctions. The magistrate judge recommended that the defendant's pleadings be struck and that default or summary judgment be entered in the plaintiff's favor.
The magistrate judge's opinion discusses the legal standards for sanctions. The court stated the three purposes behind sanctions under Rule 37 as (1) they ensure that a party will not benefit from its own failure to comply; (2) they are specific deterrents and seek to obtain compliance with the order issued; and (3) they are intended to serve a general deterrent effect on the case at hand and on other litigation, provided that the party against whom they are imposed was in some sense at fault.
The opinion notes that courts generally consider the following factors in determining whether to exercise their discretion to enter default judgment or to impose another dispositive sanction: (1) the reason for noncompliance and whether it was willful; (2) the efficacy of lesser sanctions; (3) the duration of the period of noncompliance; and (4) whether the noncompliant party had been warned of the consequences of noncompliance. Courts also consider the extent of any prejudice to the party moving for sanctions. However, in the magistrate judge's words, "real prejudice to a litigant may serve as a compelling consideration in support of dispositive relief," but "a lack of prejudice should not be given significant weight in the overall analysis." The court concluded that the defendant's conduct over two years warranted the severest form of sanctions available under Rule 37.
Even if a lawyer is confident their conduct never falls to the level of conduct described in this opinion, the case should still be read as a reminder and a cautionary tale. The opinion lays a portion of the blame for the conduct leading to sanctions at the feet of the defendants and not the lawyers. This case highlights why clients should be educated and understand that no matter how good an attorney the clients have, if clients choose to willfully hinder the discovery process and refuse to comply with discovery orders the court can impose very severe sanctions. Those sanctions will be in addition to the undoubtedly significant invoices for attorney fees and costs incurred in advocating the dangerous path the clients chose.

2016 Player Profiles, #10: Tony Beltran
The consistently capable right back had another good season for RSL.
By Matt Montgomery@TheCrossbarRSL Dec 10, 2016, 1:00pm MST
Share All sharing options for: 2016 Player Profiles, #10: Tony Beltran
2016 Ranking: #10
At a club with so many veterans, it becomes easy to forget about some players who are more on the periphery.
Javier Morales, for example, finished his tenth season with the club. So did Kyle Beckerman. And that Nick Rimando guy? Yep. Those become the veterans — those figures that are the difference-makers, but also those that, at times, make "The Team is the Star" more than a mantra.
Behind those 'big stars' — and I'd argue that the term is more about fan perception than it is anything else — is the steady defensive play of right Tony Beltran.
In soccer, it becomes easy to fetishize the wild attacking full back and the tactical import of one. To such an extent, Beltran often gets dismissed by fans for not being attacking enough, or perhaps for being not proficient enough in the cross.
Of course, that ignores a few important considerations. First, he does get forward well, but he tends to do so at safer moments. He's less an adventuring full back and more a build-up full back, and frankly, that's a rare thing that we have gained real value from.
Second, Beltran does have a good cross on him, but RSL has rarely been a side that operates extremely well in the air. At any rate, he had his first three-assist season in the league, up from his usual two or one.

But Beltran's real value was derived from his interplay with Javier Morales and Juan Manuel Martinez. Building on the right side of the midfield with those two helped progress RSL's play forward. Of course, another issue exists that hurt RSL's build-up play, and that's that often, play would become lopsided, with Plata, Burrito and Morales all leaning on the left side as the season wore on. Add in a decrease in performance from some, and Beltran suddenly looked slightly less impactful.
And that's the real thing we can learn from 2016 with regard to Tony Beltran. His performance depends on having players to build play with. He's that sort of full back. He's not a run-and-gun full back — that's more the role of Demar Phillips on the left side — and he's not a purely defensive player, either.
Entering his tenth year with Real Salt Lake, Beltran should continue to develop his ability to truly lead a side. That's the one thing he's not yet solved, and it's certainly not a case of not being able to. In fact, it's the presence of other veterans that has kept that skillset from really being on full display, whether he's developed it or not.
With Javier Morales gone, there is an additional risk here. Some of Beltran's best moments came when he interchanged with the playmaker, helping to open space on the flank, or to draw players from the center and open space there. He'll never be the flashiest of full backs, but he'll be the reliable force on the right for the remainder of his career. You can't overstate the importance of players like that, and with 2017 featuring a host of substantial changes, it's likely that Beltran will be called upon to help steady a newly shaped roster.
Tony Beltran is now one of the longest tenured players on Real Salt Lake's roster, and his veteran influence could be one of several things that helps steady the side.

David Clark Loudy
Written by Los Altos Town Crier Report
David Clark Loudy passed peacefully, surrounded by his family, on December 10, 2019, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 73 years old. David was born on January 19, 1946 in Oakland, CA to Marjorie Wise Loudy and Francis Howard Loudy. He was raised in San Leandro, CA and attended San Lorenzo High School, graduating in 1963. After graduating from Cal State Hayward in 1968 with a degree in biological science, and a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America in 1969, David went on to have a storied career as one of the most trusted and well-respected jewelers in the Bay area. After working closely with his father Francis Loudy and other family members at their jewelry store, Loudy's Jewelers of San Leandro, CA, David joined Gleim the Jeweler in Stanford, CA in 1969. David enjoyed a 50-year career at Gleim, training under legendary jeweler Art Gleim and serving as Vice President and principal gemstone buyer for over 30 years. David was a Certified Gem Appraiser as well as a Past President of the Northern California Guild of the American Gem Society.
David was a true industry professional. His work gave him great pleasure and he genuinely enjoyed helping clients choose pieces to celebrate their loved ones and mark the special occasions in their lives. David will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to family, incredible love of nature and strong commitment to his career, as well as a passion for fast vehicles - whether a "hot rod" car, boat or snowmobile. David enjoyed spending time outdoors, whether in Bear Valley to ski or hike, at the Sacramento Delta to boat and water ski, or in the Sierras for backpacking. He loved the annual boat camping trips he organized for family and friends at Lake Shasta and Bullards Bar for the past 45 years. More recently, David enjoyed trips to Stinson Beach, Tahoe and Yosemite Valley with his extended family. David was the "rock" of the family: a devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother. David is preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Sarah Matteson Shepard. He is survived by his stepchildren Bob Shepard (Celia), Brian Shepard (Maggie), Doug Shepard, Lisa Shepard Reid (Craig) as well as his siblings Jackie DuVall, Bob Loudy (Pam) and Susan Bruno (Bob), along with eight grandchildren, eight nieces and nephews and 15 great nieces and nephews. His family meant everything to him, and the children in his life were a particular source of pride and joy. A private Celebration of Life for David is planned. Donations in memory of David can be made to Peninsula Volunteers (Peninsula Volunteers | Serving Seniors on the San Francisco Peninsula for over 70 years).

Extracorporeal life support, also known as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), can successfully provide temporary circulatory and pulmonary support for a variety of severe illnesses. To date, use of ECMO has not been reported in a patient with severe Ebola virus disease. Severe Ebola cases may develop cardiac or pulmonary failure. In general, patients are considered for ECMO support with cardiac or respiratory failure that is refractory to conventional therapy (such as fluid resuscitation, vasoactive administration and mechanical ventilation) if the potential for benefit outweighs the potential risks of applying ECMO. Cardiorespiratory failure in Ebola infection appears to be related to multiple organ failure and uncontrolled hemorrhage, for which ECMO may be contraindicated in other diseases. As Ebola is spread via contact with bodily fluids and is often accompanied by coagulopathy, risk of bleeding and fluid exposure to healthcare staff is extremely high given requirements for constant monitoring and significant time in direct patient contact. Such significant potential risks must be weighed against any theoretical benefits of ECMO support in Ebola virus. Based on lack of current experience or evidence, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Steering Committee does not at present recommend use of ECMO for treatment of severe Ebola virus disease.
ELSO Steering Committee members are available to discuss issues related to Ebola and extracorporeal support.
Please contact the ELSO office at 734 998-6601 for further comment or questions. Centers are also encouraged to contact ELSO with any information or experience regarding a patient with Ebola who receives ECLS/ECMO, or other extracorporeal techniques, as we seek to learn more about this disease process and treatment possibilities that could change future recommendations.

Bye Niki: Austria says farewell to F1 icon Lauda
Birgit (centre) and Lauda's sons Mathias (left) and Lukas stand in front of his coffin during a funeral service in Vienna (Pic: AFP)
Thursday, May 30th, 2019 at Sports
VIENNA • Thousands of people thronged a Vienna cathedral yesterday to mourn Formula One (F1) legend and Austrian national hero Niki Lauda at a ceremony attended by a host of F1 stars, including world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Lauda's casket arrived at St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna's historic centre, accompanied by a police motorcade, and was carried inside by pallbearers, followed by his family, as bells rang out as thousands gathered in the pouring rain outside.
The three-time FI world champion, who came back from a horrific crash and founded several airlines, died on May 20 at the age of 70.
"The whole world says today: Bye, Niki!" tabloid Oesterreich said on its front page.
Lauda's widow Birgit, along with two of his sons, put his helmet on top of the brown casket, which stood next to flower wreaths and a portrait of the Austrian sporting his signature cap hiding scars from the 1976 crash.
Mourners then slowly filed past to bid a final farewell, taking photos and laying flowers, with the queue stretching well out of the cathedral into nearby streets.
An Example for Austria

A public mass took place later yesterday. The funeral itself was private and details for it kept under wraps.
Some 500 VIP guests attended the mass, including Hamilton and other F1 heavyweights such as German driver Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes chief Toto Wolff.
There were hundreds more seats and 3,000 standing places open to the general public.
It is the first time a sports star has received such an honour at the Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral, a distinction previously accorded only to prominent personalities like the archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Franz Koenig and the former crown prince of the Austrian-Hungarian empire, Otto von Habsburg.
Among the thousands of mourners, some sporting Ferrari caps, was Roland, a 41-year-old technician from Vienna.
Waiting in line outside the cathedral, he told AFP that Lauda was "an example for Austria". "Even though he faced very difficult circumstances, he never complained," he said.
Many had travelled from across the country and even further afield abroad to attend the funeral.
Johann, a 70-year-old retiree from Burgenland state who used to work as a Lauda Air technician, described Lauda as a "strict but fair" employer.
Imre Varga, 63, came all the way from Hungary for the ceremony. She said she would watch Lauda on Austrian television, which people in the western part of her country had been "lucky" to receive in Communist times. "During the Iron Curtain he was always a role model for us…He was unreachable, like a God, to us," she told AFP.
Lauda won the drivers' world championship in 1975 and 1977 with Ferrari and in 1984 with McLaren.
Even after retiring as a race driver, Lauda remained a fixture on the circuit. Most recently, as non-executive chairman at Mercedes F1 since 2012, he was instrumental in bringing in Hamilton, sparking a run of success for the team.
The Briton won the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, which he described as the "hardest race I think I've ever had".
Favourite Songs
Former F1 drivers Gerhard Berger of Austria and France's Alain Prost spoke at the service, as did Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and former California governor and Austrian-born actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
During the mass, songs, reportedly Lauda's favourites, including "Amazing Grace", "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman and John Lennon's "Imagine" were played.
Lauda died at the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, nine months after he underwent a lung transplant. He had struggled with health issues since miraculously surviving the 1976 crash that saw his car engulfed in flames at the Nuerburgring in Germany.
Lauda also underwent kidney transplants. One of the kidneys was donated by his last wife.
Lauda married the former flight attendant in 2008 and they had twins, a boy and a girl, in 2009.
Lauda also has three other sons from previous relationships.
Besides racing, Lauda's second passion was aviation. He founded and then sold several airlines with his latest, Laudamotion, going to Ryanair in 2018.
It is not clear where Lauda will be laid to rest. The family reportedly has turned down an offer by the city of Vienna to receive a "grave of honour" in the city's vast Central Cemetery. — AFP

Global Alliance on Disability and Health Innovation (GANDHI): What Makes Innovation Stick? (2018-2019)
Although 15% of the world's population has some form of disability, the system of public health and health services is not adequately organized to promote independence. Even the most developed and well-resourced nations have medically underserved regions and communities where the presence of disability is compounded by inequities in social determinants of health. In 2016, the Global Alliance on Disability and Health Innovation (GANDHI) launched to engage students, faculty, the Duke community and external partners to examine the system supporting transitions in health and healthcare for people who experience an acute illness or injury and are newly living with disability.
This 2018-19 Bass Connections project ("GANDHI 3.0") created a cohort of students committed to designing and implementing systems changes. The aim was to help implement, spread or scale up innovation at Duke and in Durham County for underserved and underrepresented populations experiencing transitions in health or healthcare. The 2018-19 team's goal was to build capacity for social intrapreneurship: people who work as a member within their organization to develop and promote solutions to social and system challenges.
Using Duke case examples of programs and interventions, students first learned the fundamentals of program planning, theories of change and implementation science. This type of real world research identified barriers and facilitators and studies methods to promote the adoption of interventions and policies. Skills learned were then applied to Duke projects aimed to improve healthcare, health and health policy. The team founded a student volunteer program for Lincoln Community Health Center, and also began a longitudinal database for Lincoln of patients' unmet needs, access to community services and whether referrals were successful. They also held an Exercise Is Medicine Across the Lifespan Colloquium at Duke. While working on these projects, students met weekly as peer mentors, creating a cohort of social intrapreneurs at Duke.
