Are you tired of paying the big bucks to have your dealership diagnose and solve vehicle issues? If this is the case, you are in the right place. Let's take a look at some options for the best OBD2 Scanner for Jaguar vehicles.
The iCarsoft i903 is very easy to use. Just plug it in and it is good to go. It comes with the most current software, plus it allows for updates to be made as well. The data can be viewed and managed with both MAC and PC computers.
What is nice here is that the iCarsoft i903 can handle many different complex defects and problems with your Jaguar. It's a fairly simple to use and fast acting code reader that has the ability to clear a wide array of error codes.
The iCarsoft i903 is very easy to use, it comes with all necessary hardware, and is great for engine and transmission issues.
We don't like how the screen here is a bit small which makes it hard to read. While this tool is great for engine and transmission code needs, it doesn't really do anything else.
The iCarsoft LR II is an affordable and highly functional OBD2 scanner for Land Rover and Jaguar.
The iCarsoft LR II has the ability to diagnose and provide solutions to a variety of issues concerning your Jaguar vehicle. It can read and erase various error codes centered around the engine, transmission, ABS, SRS, and various other vehicle systems too. It also performs service light resets, brake pad reset, oil light reset, and a few other functions too. It's a nice handheld display with a fairly easy to read screen.
We like how this item works for Jaguar and Land Rover, how it is highly functional, affordable, and has a nice display too.
The bad part about the iCarsoft LR II is that it does not work for vehicles made before 2006. The update process is also a little difficult.
If you just need scanner software instead of the full hardware setup, the Toad Pro is an affordable and functional option to go with.
The Toad Pro works by being installed on your computer. You must then use the included cable to connect your computer to the car. It's a good option if you don't need a handheld scanner. The Toad Pro is a little difficult to master, but it is highly functional.
It will perform a health check on your vehicle, it can diagnose and solve a variety of common issues, and it can do a CO2 emissions test as well. It also has the ability to tune and edit ECU values, build cool dashboards and gauges, and help optimize fuel efficiency too.
When it comes to coding, diagnostics, and even some programming, the Toad Pro is one of the best in the business.
Some people might like to have actual hardware as opposed to just software. It can also be a bit hard to understand at first.
This is one of the more expensive OBD2 scanners for Jaguar, quite expensive in fact, but it does have many advanced functions.
We don't want to list every single feature which the Autel Scanner MD802 has, because quite frankly there are just too many of them. However, the Autel Scanner MD802 is a highly functional unit that performs deep vehicle system coverage for all electronics, the chassis, power train, on board communication, and more.
It can also do O2 tests, show vehicle info, test components, and so much more. When it comes down to it, it can do pretty much everything that the most expensive professional scanners out there can do.
The good part about the Autel Scanner MD802 is that it has a whole lot of advanced functions, more or less everything you need.
The bad part here is that the Autel Scanner MD802 is expensive, plus because it is so advanced, it can be a little hard to understand.
It's quite impressive because the BlueDriver Bluetooth Scanner is not very expensive, yet it does work quite well, not to mention that it has Bluetooth capabilities.
The BlueDriver Bluetooth Scanner allows you to easily read data from the diagnostics systems on your Apple or Android phone. It has quite a few advanced functions, but remains quite easy to use.
It provides you with data in a way that is both interactive and easy to read, plus it can save data as well. It has the ability to read and clear advanced codes, provide you with repair reports, and much more.
The BlueDriver Bluetooth Scanner is portable, easy to use, has a wide variety of fixes for errors, and a high level of functionality too.
The Bluetooth connection here can be a bit shoddy and choppy. Also, this model only works for North American cars, not for imports.
Personally, we think that the iCarsoft i903 is the best scanner to go with for your Jaguar. It's not too expensive, it is not too hard to use, and it has a high level of functionality. If you prefer to have only software and use your computer, we would recommend the TOAD PRO.

About Communications - UHF Explained
UHF Explained
Introduction Whether you are planning a trip into the Australian outback, towing a caravan on back top or a weekend 4WD adventurer, then a UHF Radio is an essential communications tool to have. UHF (477MHz) radios have nearly replaced the older 27MHz CBs, mainly due to their considerable price drop over the past decade and the extended range offer by repeaters located throughout Australia. UHF CBs use Frequency Modulation (FM) to transmit/receive. Since UHF signals generally travel in a straight line, the terrain impact how well the signal is transmitted or received. For example, UHF CB radios will perform poorly in hilly or forested areas and perform well in flat open countryside. UHF CBs can also access repeater stations that re-transmit the signals on another channel which can provide much further coverage (see Repeaters for more information). 40 Channel v 80 Channel Radios The recent restructured on the 477MHz UHF CB band by the ACMA and now utilises 80 individual 12.5kHz wide channels in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range, which covers 476.425MHz to 477.4125MHz. If you own a 40 channel system, please read the special section below "New Rules" to clarify what you need to do Repeaters UHF repeaters are special transmitting/receiving stations that are usually located in high areas to allow extended coverage. These stations, which are usually owned by businesses, farmers and clubs, allow UHF users to use them to re-transmit their signal. It works when you press your microphone button with the "Duplex or Repeater" button selected also. You must transmit between channels 1 to 8 (and now you also have access to 41 to 48) because the "Duplex or Repeater" selection will add 30 channels and will now transmit to channels 31 to 38 (and now also 71 - 78) on the repeater. The repeater, which previously collected the signal on 31 to 38 (or 71 - 78), then switches to its output channel 1 to 8 (and 41 - 48) to transmit simultaneously to say another radio user on the other side of the hill. UHF Radio Channel Allocation Below you will find a list of UHF Radio channel allocations. There are many channels that have been established by law including the Emergency channel 5 and the data transmission channels 22 and 23. The new 80 channel system does not change the allocation use of these channels. Channels Channels Used For 1 - 8 & 41 - 48 These channels, which are established by law, can be used when sending a signal to a repeater which will help increase the communication distance 5 This channel, which is established by law, can be used by anyone but only in an emergency situation 9 Used for conversations 10 Used by 4WD enthusiasts, clubs, convoys and in national parks 11 Calling channel. This channel, which is established by law, is used to call or locate another station. Parties will then switch to another channel to continue with their conversation 12 - 17 Used for conversations 18 Holiday maker's communication channel (e.g. when in a convoy) 19 - 21 Used for conversations 22 - 23 These two channels are used for data transmissions and is established by law. Voice transmissions are not allowed on these two channels 24 - 30 Used for conversations. Note Channel 29 is specifically as a road channel. 29 For Pacific Hwy (NSW) and Bruce Hwy (Qld) communications which are mainly used by truck drivers and other highway users 31 - 38 These channels, which are established by law, are received by a repeater and re-transmitted on channels 1 to 8 to help increase the communication distance 35 Can be used in case of Emergencies also 39 Used for conversations 40 Highway Communications which are mainly used by truck drivers and other highway users 41 - 48 New channels (use same as 1-8) are established by law, can be used when sending a signal to a repeater which will help increase the communication distance 49 to 60 New channels can be used for conversations 61 - 63 Currently reserved for future expansion 64 - 70 New channels can be used for conversations 71 - 78 New channels, which are established by law, are received by a repeater and re-transmitted on new channels 41 to 48 to help increase the communication distance 79 - 80 New channels can be used for conversations Summary: · Channels 1 to 8 and 41 - 48 are repeater channels. Press the duplex button on your radio to use any available repeaters. · Channels 5 & 35 - emergency use only · Channels 22 & 23 - data only · Channels 31 to 38 and 71 - 78 - are repeater inputs, do not use these channels for simplex transmissions as you can interfere with conversations on channels 1 to 8 and 41 to 48. Telemetry Systems This technology is used for the transmission of data. By utilising telemetry systems via UHF signals, farmers can remotely control the operation and function of various types of equipment such as electric fences, water pumps and dam levels from many kilometres away. Purchasing a UHF CB Radio When purchasing a UHF CB radio, there are a number of things to consider: 1. Where are you going to mount the UHF radio? This will guide you to what type of UHF radio you are going to purchase (i.e. standard DIN size, slim models or models with remote microphone) 2. Where are you going to mount the UHF antenna? The mounting location of your antenna will help you decide what type of antenna you are going to install. (see UHF Antennas for more information) UHF Antennas Why is the antenna important? The antenna is a device for transmitting and/or receiving signals – the eyes and ears of your UHF radio. A good antenna is designed to be "in-tune" to the signal you are seeking – your radio "sees" the signal and you hear a clear conversation. Use a poor antenna or mount the antenna is a bad location, will greatly reduce your range and clarity. Antenna radiation patterns Mobile antenna should radiate in a symmetrical pattern 360° around the antenna. However depending on where you mount your antenna, will affect the way the antenna radiates. The best location for an antenna is in the middle of you roof however this is generally not practical. Antenna are normally mounted the guard or bull bar. This these cases, it is essential that you A) use a ground independent antenna (see Ground Independent Antenna for more information), B) mount the antenna away for vertical metal section like windscreen pillars etc. and C) mount the antenna as high as possible. Following these suggestions will help minimise any affect on the radiation pattern. Antenna gains As gain is increased, the radiation gets compressed into a thinner pattern and reaches out further to the side. The more gain an antenna has the thinner the pattern becomes and the further the signal can travel or reach. However a thinner radiation pattern may prevent strong signal reception when driving through hills. So in summary: · Low gain antennas (2-4 dBi) are good for hilly terrain but lack range in flat terrain. · Medium gain antennas (5-7 dBi) are good all round antenna which works well in hilly and flat terrain. · High gain antennas (8+ dBi) are good in flat terrain but poor in hilly terrain. A final word on antenna gain & patterns An antenna must physically meet a certain requirement to deliver it's claimed gain. The laws of physics cannot be defeated and without these characteristics there is simply no way to increase antenna gain. Various antenna manufactures use different references when declaring their gain figures. In the absence of a defined refer4ence, some claims made in catalogues and on retail packaging by some manufacturers are just plain wrong. When selecting an antenna be sure to make a couple of basic checks: 1. Look for the stated gain reference, we would suggest dBi, dBd or dBq (gain over a ¼ wave). We can't promise that this means the manufacturer has actually tested the gain, but it certainly indicates that they know they need a reference. 2. Compare a couple of antenna that are hanging next to each other in a store, or check the physical length of the antenna in a catalogue. If one is claiming 6.5 dBi and is 900mm long and another is claiming 9dBi at a similar length, then consider how can this be true. Antenna Installation As discussed previously most UHF antennas require a ground plane, which means they should be mounted on top of a metal surface. The best spot in this regard would be the centre of your roof. Unfortunately for some people, this may not be a great idea because it could require drilling through the roof for installation. Travellers also prefer to utilise their roof rack space for carrying supplies. If the roof is not on the cards, then other good locations to mount an antennal can include: the front guard or on the bull bar, which is probably the most common. Co-Axial Cable In all types of UHF antennas, feed line loss can be a constant threat in regards to performance. Bad feed lines can swallow up half or more of your transmitting power and therefore degrading reception. Loss can be determined by length and quality of the feed lines, so the use of thicker co-axial cables over thinner ones is a much better option. Some common cable specifications, each being 50ohm impedance and the loss figures on a 30m run are listed below: · RG-58U series including the RG-58C has a loss factor of 13.5dB over 30m · RG-213 has a loss factor of 5dB over 30m Handheld UHF Radios Handheld models are also popular with obvious advantages of portable, the high advances in electronic technology and their increased affordability. These CBs range from as little as $40 to over $400 and provide as much functionality as the base station CBs. There are some top end models that have a range of up to 12km with an impressive 5 watts of TX output power. As well as being lightweight, ruggedly built with waterproof construction, these CBs are no toy. These units can be very handy for travellers in a whole range of situations. Some handheld radios are sold in sets of 2 handheld units you can lend one unit to another vehicle/person to enable UHF communication in an instant such as in the following scenarios; passenger leaves vehicle to check the track ahead and can use handheld unit to communicate back to the vehicle with information search and rescue situations involving 2 people (or as many handheld units are available) spreading out in different directions used in conjunction with an installed UHF system in a vehicle is an effective and sensible capability you can coordinate if planning a remote trip one party may wish to stay behind at the campsite whilst another member goes boating, fishing, bushwalking etc. With handhelds UHFs you have an extra level of safety and peace of mind when heading off on solo excursions away from the vehicle, or campsite for minimal cost.

Monday February 13th 1893 I was busy with the work all forenoon and went over to see Lee as soon as we had dinner. I knit a little in the afternoon and worked on my dress in the evening. Lee is about the same. My cold is some better. Tuesday February 14th 1893 I sewed on my dress what time I had and got it done so we worked on the carpet rags in the evening. Josie is helping with them. It was a misty rain day and I did not go out. Will was over town and down to the house twice. There is little change in Lee. Wednesday February 15th 1893 I felt better and we did working this forenoon. The men went to the timber for load of wood. Will and I went to town in the afternoon and found Lee very hopeful. Dr. Hobby had been there and found one foot so reduced in swelling as to put a sock on. He suffers a great deal with his hands. But we think now he will not lose any part of his hands or feet. Josie & I worked at the carpet rags what time we could. Thursday February 16th 1893 I did not go to the town at all today. Mother & Franny were over in the afternoon. Lee is about the same. Josie went to town in the afternoon. The men got another load of wood. We got a good deal done to the rags.


DARZALEX® was studied in combination with Velcade®, melphalan, and prednisone (VMP) vs VMP alone in 706 people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who could not receive a type of stem cell transplant that uses their own stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant).
The main goal of the study was to measure the length of time people lived without their multiple myeloma getting worse or passing away from any cause. Another goal was to measure overall response rate, which is the percentage of people who responded to treatment.
At a median follow-up of 16.5 months, 25% of patients treated with D+VMP had disease progression or passed away vs 40% of patients treated with VMP alone.

MLB Expert Picks: Royals Vs Orioles 5/12/17
Free Picks: Will the Kansas City Royals upset the Baltimore Orioles at home?
Can the Kansas City Royals slow down the bats of the Baltimore Orioles at all when the two meet up tonight at 8:15PM ET?
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI & MyBookie, the Orioles are the slight favorite on the road, as they are getting odds of -115 to win. The Royals are listed with a money line of -105 to win, while the over/under total is set at 8.5 runs.
MLB Quick Links: Matchup Reports | Injuries | Odds Comparison | Scoreboard | Betting Trends
The Orioles will have Dylan Bundy (5-1, 2.17 ERA) on the mound to face Danny Duffy (2-3, 3.50) of the Royals. Bundy has been a very consistent presence for the Orioles. He has won his last four decisions and the O's have won his last five starts. He has yet to allow more than three runs in an outing, going at least six innings each start. Bundy's WHIP this season is 1.05. Duffy had a solid start against the Indians last week, but his team has failed to give him any run support in three of his last four starts. He has a WHI of 1.35 this season.
Baltimore is coming off a 7-6 loss to the Nationals in D.C. on Wednesday. That loss snapped a six-game winning streak. Baltimore is now 22-11 overall and 9-8 on the road. The Orioles are putting up 4.52 runs per game while allowing 4.12. Jonathan Schoop is hitting .306 with five home runs and 18 RBI to lead the team while Manny Machado has nine home runs and 22 RBI.
The Royals are actually coming off a series win over the Rays this week, taking three of four in Tampa. Kansas City is 13-21 overall and 8-9 at home this season. KC puts up just 3.03 runs per game while allowing 4.18. Lorenzo Cain is leading the team with a .284 average, but has just one home run and seven RBI with nine stolen bases. Salvador Perez has seven home runs and 20 RBI with a .283 average.
Bet on Orioles vs. Royals
The Royals have been respectable at home, but their lack of run support should continue to haunt Duffy. Duffy has been a good pitcher this season, but he isn't going to be able to shut down this Baltimore lineup. Bundy has been stellar against much better batting orders than KC. I don't see the Royals being able to produce many hits and runs, which should allow the Orioles to cruise to a win.

Our bylaws say that the board may have as many as seven directors (we need at least three), and additional members may be appointed. Two more people have indicated a willingness to join the 2015-2016 board and their names will be announced once they are formally approved.
The ballot also had a question about allowing the board to appoint a co-president to serve with Lill (in order to avoid a second election if a new volunteer surfaced). The members approved that overwhelmingly, and as the board goes through the planned seven-year assessment of its structure, that will be considered as a possible option.

Senate Sends to President Legislation to Provide Military More Equipment and Training, Expand Military Families' Access to Health Care
WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 16, 2017 – U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today released the following statement after the Senate passed the Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report:
"We owe our service men and women in uniform a debt of gratitude, and the defense bill helps ensure they receive the support and resources they need," Alexander said. "Not only is Congress authorizing pay raises for troops at Ft. Campbell and the Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, the bill reforms and modernizes the military health care system to improve and expand access to care for military families. This bill also authorizes funding for advanced equipment to help ensure the men and women of the armed forces have the tools they need protect American interests at home and abroad."
Alexander continued: "Finally, this legislation strengthens our national security by supporting important programs at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge to help maintain our nuclear weapons arsenal."
Alexander also worked on legislation that accompanied the conference report that will speed safe drugs and devices for use in battlefield emergencies. "There was a problem and this legislation is going to give FDA the tools to solve that problem by getting safe and effective medicines more rapidly to warfighters on the battlefield," he said.
The defense bill authorizes $692 billion in funding for the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, which includes the following priorities:
A 2.4 percent pay increase for members of the military, including troops at Ft. Campbell and the Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, and reauthorizes more than 30 bonuses and special payments for service men and women.
$21 billion for Department of Energy national security programs, which support critical work in Oak Ridge.
Modernizing our nation's nuclear stockpile, including a replacement strategic missile submarine, defense-related environmental cleanup, and nuclear energy programs at the Department of Energy.
Proposes to eliminate $1.8 billion in excessive and unnecessary spending and reinvests those savings in our military.
Supports U.S. military forces stationed in Europe to counter Russian aggression.
A prohibition on transferring detainees at Guantanamo Bay to the United States.
Proposes funding for advanced equipment to help ensure the men and women of the armed forces have the tools they need protect American interests abroad and work with our allies to defeat ISIL, al Qaeda, and other violent extremist organizations.
The bill seeks to reform and modernize the military health system to improve access to care, expand choices of health plans and modernize TRICARE, the Department of Defense health program for military service members, retirees and their dependents.
The bill now heads to the president's desk so it can be signed into law.

Philip Seymour Hoffman dies at 46; Oscar-winning actor
(Jennifer S. Altman / For the Times)
By Chris Lee
Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of the most acclaimed character actors and ambitious performers of his generation, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose inside his New York apartment on Sunday, police said. He was 46.
A business associate discovered Hoffman in his bathroom with a needle stuck in his left forearm at about 11:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, police said. Two glassine envelopes containing what was thought to be heroin were near his body, and five empty envelopes were found in the trash, police said. The city medical examiner has not yet determined a cause of death.
Hoffman rose to fame through his pinpoint-precise movie portrayals of oddballs, schemers and misfits, often physically transforming himself for the roles. He won an Oscar portraying author Truman Capote in the 2005 biopic "Capote."

A bear-like, perennially rumpled presence known as an actor's actor, Hoffman displayed considerable range during a career that spanned more than 20 years and nearly 60 films. He worked with top directors — including, repeatedly, the Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson and Bennett Miller — and appeared opposite a constellation of Hollywood's biggest stars. The work brought him four Academy Award nominations, three Tony nominations and an Emmy nod, not to mention critics association accolades.
"He gave performances of sacred and terrifying intensity," said noted stage director Peter Sellars, who worked with Hoffman in productions of Shakespeare's "Othello" and "The Merchant of Venice." "Phil burned so brightly and with such unrelenting love — it made him one of the great theater performers of his or any generation."
Despite his command of the dramatic arts and work ethic, the protean actor — a father to three young children — battled with long-term addiction. He publicly acknowledged that he had undergone treatment for substance abuse problems.

"Anything I could get my hands on," Hoffman said of his drug and alcohol dependency on "60 Minutes" in 2006. "I liked it all."
The versatile actor, who starred in such films as "The Master," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Boogie Nights," reportedly checked himself into rehab last year for 10 days after relapsing in 2012.
Famously self-effacing, Hoffman gave little public indication he was wrestling with his demons, recently attaching his name to a string of high-profile movies and television projects.
Just last month, Hoffman traveled to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to promote the drama "A Most Wanted Man," set for release this year, in which he portrays a grizzled counter-terrorism operative.
"We spent some time together only two weeks ago and he seemed in a good place despite some issue he had to deal with," said Anton Corbijn, director of "A Most Wanted Man," without elaborating further.
Hoffman served as an executive producer and was set to star in the upcoming Showtime comedy "Happyish," for which a pilot had been filmed and 10 episodes were being written.
Hoffman also was scheduled to direct the Prohibition-era drama "Ezekiel Moss" starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Hoffman appeared in a supporting role in last year's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which grossed $860 million worldwide and stands out as the most commercially successful movie of his career. He had filmed scenes for two sequels in the blockbuster franchise, which are still in production.
His work was "substantially complete" on "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part I" and he had seven shooting days remaining on "Mockingjay — Part 2," according to a person close to the films who was not authorized to talk to the media. The actor's death will not affect the films' scheduled release in November 2014 and 2015, the person said.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman was a singular talent and one of the most gifted actors of our generation," Lionsgate, the studio behind the "Hunger Games" films, said in a statement. "We're very fortunate that he graced our Hunger Games family. Losing him in his prime is a tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Philip's family."
Hoffman is survived by his children Tallulah, 7; Willa, 5; and Cooper, 10, and his longtime partner, Mimi O'Donnell, artistic director of New York's Labyrinth Theater Company.
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," Hoffman's family said in a statement. "Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers."

On Sunday evening, the area surrounding Hoffman's Bethune Street apartment building in lower Manhattan remained cordoned off by crime scene investigators and medical examiners. Hoffman's body was wheeled out of the building at 6:45 p.m. EST and driven away in a medical examiner's van. As soon as police opened the street to the public, mourners began to leave flowers on the stoop.
"I felt like a magnet was dragging me down here," said Holly Kenny, 53, of Fairlee, Vt., who was at a trade show when she heard about the actor's death and arrived on scene clutching a bouquet of white flowers.
Hoffman was raised in a middle-class household in Rochester, N.Y., by his mother, a civil rights activist turned judge. He showed early promise in wrestling and baseball until a neck injury derailed his athletic career.
He began acting at age 15 and studied theater at New York University, graduating in 1989. Soon afterward, at 22, the actor checked himself into a rehabilitation program for alcohol and drug addiction.
"I had no interest in drinking in moderation. And I still don't," Hoffman told the British newspaper the Guardian in 2011. "Just because all that time's passed doesn't mean maybe it was just a phase. That's, you know, who I am."
Indelibly, Hoffman embodied Capote, the "In Cold Blood" author, as a lisping narcissist. He brought stunning specificity to a variety of roles, playing a messianic cult leader in his turn in "The Master" (2012), a mouth-breathing sycophant in "Boogie Nights" (1997), a Machiavellian political consigliere in "The Ides of March" (2011), a kind-eyed nurse in "Magnolia" (1999) and a maverick CIA operative in "Charlie Wilson's War" (2007). He received supporting actor Academy Award nominations for his work in both "The Master" and "Charlie Wilson's War," as well as for his role in "Doubt."
"It's amazing that this is my life as an actor," Hoffman told The Times last year. "Twenty years ago, I would never have said this would be my life. I don't think anyone would. I'm a very lucky man."
Hoffman was nominated for an Emmy for his performance in the 2005 HBO miniseries "Empire Falls." A journeyman stage actor, he had served as artistic director of Labyrinth Theater Company and was nominated for three Tony Awards, including one for his 2012 portrayal of Willy Loman in the Broadway revival of "Death of a Salesman."
Robert Falls, artistic director of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, directed Hoffman in a production of "Long Day's Journey Into Night" in which the actor portrayed an addict. Falls recalled Hoffman's ability to channel real-life experience into his performance.
"He was well acquainted with the tragic pull that drugs have," Falls said. "In the rehearsal room, there was a cost. Phil couldn't fake it. He lived through it."
Public figures ranging from New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to Chelsea Clinton to Judy Blume took to Twitter on Sunday to register their shock and grief. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres hailed Hoffman as a "brilliant, talented man," and "Girls" creator Lena Dunham observed, "We have lost so much joy to something so joyless. RIP PSH."

Everyone has a favorite and least favorite part of their job, and field service technicians are no exception. In a recent survey conducted by The Service Council, 77% of technicians said the best part of their day was solving customer problems, which is exactly the answer any service manager would want to hear, as that's the bread and butter of their business.
Also included were positives for dealing with customers, fixing and repairing things, and learning about new tools and technologies, indicating that doing the actual repair work, whether that be on an HVAC unit, a piece of industrial equipment, or any field service industry for that matter, is not a problem to technicians and they generally are happy about their day-to-day lives.
The worse parts of a technician's day, however, can be solved with the addition of a field service management software, as it will make their day-to-day tasks easier, and increase the enjoyment even more of their job.
The largest complaint of field service technicians is the amount of paperwork and administrative tasks they need to complete each job. That could be filling out work orders, part requisitions, quotes, inspection checklists and time sheets. Of those technicians surveyed, 46% said paperwork and administrative tasks are the worst part of their day, as it can take up a sizable portion of their time that could be spent doing the things they enjoy about their job, which would be the actual problem solving and repair work.
By implementing a field service management software, paperwork and administrative tasks can be completed quickly and efficiently, especially when deployed with a mobile field service management application. Technicians wouldn't need to fill out paperwork orders, or call congested call centers to relay information, but instead can utilize a mobile field service app to input all their information, including any work order data, time and expenses for a service call, and they can complete quotes, time sheets, and inspection checklists, all from one device.
With less time spent on administrative work, your field service technicians will be happier in their day-to-day lives, while at the same time, the extra time can be spent fixing issues and attending service calls, which will improve the business bottom line.
When a technician needs information, whether it be instructions on a repair, a price for a customer, or details on how to get to the next service call, it can be a frustrating part of the day when that information is available to them when they need it. Of those surveyed, 29% said time spent looking for information was the worst part of their day, as it takes them away from completing the repair, or moving on to the next service call.
Field service management software gives them full access to all information, especially when coupled with a mobile field service management application. From their mobile device, technicians can access repair manuals and guides for individual pieces of equipment, they can look up the service history for a customer before they get to the job site, and they can access any pricing or inventory information straight from their mobile device.
A mobile field service management application gives the technician in the field full access to the field service software and all the information they would need to complete repairs quickly and close out service calls. The worst part of a technician's day can be solved with a field service software solution which mitigates the negatives of the day-to-day operations of a technician and focuses on the positives and how to keep technicians doing what they love to do the most.

'Forced into doing the right thing' - Tories and Lib Dems welcome plans to scrap 'shameless' free meals for Sunderland councillors
An opposition campaign to scrap free meals for councillors in Sunderland has been hailed a success following a Labour u-turn.
By James Harrison
Monday, 13 May, 2019, 14:43
The ruling party at Sunderland City Council announced today it will look to pie-off the perk.
The move comes just months after Labour councillors scoffed and waved lunchboxes when the same proposal was put forward by the city's Liberal Democrats.
Responding to the plans, newly elected Lib Dem councillor Heather Fagan, who used May's local elections to call for the meals to be cancelled, said councillors should pay for their own food 'just like everyone else'.
She added: "This is a welcome but extremely overdue move from Labour's council bosses who are desperate to shed their out-of-touch image following their humiliating local election defeats last week.
"Residents across Sunderland have been up in arms for years about these shameless free meals – and just a few weeks ago in January Labour voted against Lib Dem plans to cut their taxpayer-funded buffets after meetings.
"Instead of doing the right thing and cutting these meals at the time they started cutting public services, the ruling Labour group have been forced into doing it only after it started to affect their own electoral success."
Labour announced the measures in a message titled 'You spoke, we listed'.
In this, council leader Graeme Miller admitted the perk had become a 'concern to some in the city'.
At local elections on Thursday, May 2, Labour saw its majority in the council chamber cut by nine councillors, while opposition Conservatives and Lib Dems both gained.
UKIP and the Green Party also won their first seats in the city.
Labour also unveiled plans to cut Special Responsibility Allowances (SRAs) – money paid to senior councillors for taking on specific roles, such as chairing council committees or holding a portfolio for an area such as transport or children's services on the ruling cabinet.
Full details of this have not yet been revealed, but deputy leader Coun Michael Mordey said it was intended to give 'best value' to council tax payers.
Both proposals were also backed by the Conservative Party, which is currently the second largest party on the council.
Tory leader Coun Robert Oliver said: "As far as SRAs are concerned, the Conservative group has proposed cuts to the overall budget and to reduce current SRAs on a number of occasions and the Labour Party has not agreed with us.
"We will need to see the detail, but we will make the point that these SRAs we don't think are necessary for things like deputy cabinet portfolio holders and they need to be scrapped and others reduced."

Jonah seemed embarrased to let me buy him anything. He refused to put on a belt when he was trying on the clothes back at my flat. "You need one," I said, sighing. "You're too skinny not to wear one."
"I don't like belts," He mumbled, childishly.
"Why?" I asked, curious. He shrugged. "Jonah, tell me."
"I don't have to tell you fucking anything," He said, moodily, throwing off the charcol-grey sweater he'd had on. Then he sighed. "When I pissed him off, Blain used to..."
"Oh." That made sense. "Well... look, I'm not going to hurt you."
"I know," He said. "I just... the memories." He shuddered. We sat in silence for about three minutes. Then Jonah suprised me. He put his arms around me and gave me a hug. "Thank you, Luke." He said. "For the clothes and stuff. And for looking after me. I know... I know I might seem ungrateful sometimes, but I appreciate it, honestly. And me being a bastard with you, effing and blinding all the time and being harsh... it's just my defense mechanism, I guess. Someone asks me something I'm sensetive about and I put my walls up."
"It's fine," I said, hugging him back. He pressed his lips against my cheek then pulled away from me, flushing.
"I..." He cleared his throat. "I wanna go to bed. Is that alright?"
"Sure it is," I said. "You don't half go to bed early." It was an observation, not a way of getting at him. He shrugged.
"Me and Blain had a pretty fucked-up sleeping pattern," He said. "I'd go out about eight to go to... work," He cleared his throat. "Usually I'd get back about eleven o'clock, half eleven-ish. Blain would normally want the two of us to have sex. We'd probably get to sleep about half past one, maybe two o'clock. Then we'd get up about six o'clock, do it again, go to Blain's brother's or to see his Dad in his nursing home, then go back and try to get some more sleep in the afternoon before we had to go out and I had to work again."
"What about school?"
"I dropped out when I was thirteen," He said. Then he smiled. "I used to sneak out to the library while Blain was asleep and read textbooks. I'd sit in there for hours and write all the work in them down on bits of paper I got off the librarian."
"Yeah. I felt such a rebel when I did," He laughed softly. "He never found out. At least, I don't think he did." He stretched and yawned. Then he bit his lip. "If... If I yell again tonight, I'm sorry." He said. "When I used to have bad dreams at home, Blain would kick the crap out of me."
"Well, if you want to talk, you know where I am," I smiled, as he stood up and walked away from me.
He was like the little brother I'd always wanted.


Ariana Grande, kawaii anime creature brought to life and gifted with the Voice of an Angel (but plagued by Visions of Demons), is providing her faithful Arianators with yet another single off of her (still) excellent 2016 record, Dangerous Woman.
Sadly, that single is not "Touch It" — but she did give that song to Final Fantasy, so it's fine. Kind of.
The Ilya-produced "Everyday" featuring Future, which will be released to contemporary hit radio this month and is already climbing on the Bubbling Under chart (give it time), is the fourth official single from the campaign. And to keep it climbing higher, the Princess of Ponytails just served up a lyric video for the song.
It's more or less a straightforward affair, as the pint-sized pop singer happily sings and bops along to the song while the words flash across the screen — you know, as a lyric video generally goes.
But really, only Ari could still look cute with the words "that good s--t" plastered over her face over and over again.
Watch above, and join me in campaigning for "Touch It" to be a formal single by repeatedly contacting Ariana Grande on Twitter.

Q: Closed Continued Fraction I am trying to find a closed form of a continued fraction:
$$[1,2,3,5,3,5,3,5...]$$
I understand I have to form a quadratic of some sort and factorise and to give me an irrational number but I am not sure how to construct this quadratic.
Any  help would be appreciated.
Thanks

A: The fraction in question is $1/(1+1/(2+x))$ where
$$x=1/(3+1/(5+x))$$
Denesting the fractions gives us
$$x=(5+x)(1-3x)\implies \\ 3x^2+15x-5=0\implies \\ x=\frac{-15+\sqrt{285}}6$$
where the $-$ solution is rejected since $x>0$. Then it is a matter of working up the final steps to arrive at $\frac{49-\sqrt{285}}6$.

A: You are right that you have to find a quadratic. In general, let the recursive part be your variable; here, we get the result by choosing
$$x = \frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{3+\dots}}}$$
Then, to solve for $x$, we make the equation
$$x=\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{5+x}}$$
which yields the quadratic $3x^2+15x-5=0$, whose solutions turn out to be
$$x=-\frac{5}{2}\pm\frac{\sqrt{285}}{6}$$
The negative solution is discarded (since we want our fraction to be positive). This, however, is not our original continued fraction. The closed form for the fraction we want to find follows from $$1+\frac{1}{2+x}$$
the calculation of which is trivial.

A: Just looking at the last part, that leaves some work for you (and it's not clear what your "$\ldots$" mean (i.e. what contiues).
Define
$$
y=3+\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{y}}
$$
We can rewrite that as:
\begin{eqnarray}
y\left(5+\frac{1}{y}\right) =& 3\left(5+\frac{1}{y}\right)+1\\
5y+1 =& 16+\frac{3}{y}\\
5y^2+y =& 16y+3\\
5y^2-15y-3 =& 0
\end{eqnarray}
That's a quadratic in standard form.

Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad disappearance day
All glories to Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad, the spiritual master of his divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupad and the founder of the Gaudiya Math, who blessed the Krishna Panchami tithi in the month of Paush by choosing this day to bring his pastimes in this world to a close. Well known among the vaishnavas as Simha Guru, or lion Guru, he fearlessly cut to pieces all the Rupanuga viruddha apa-siddhanta, all the philosophies which were not in line with the teachings of Srila Rupa goswami, and powerfully taught and preached suddha bhakti, or pure devotion for the lotus feet of Sachinandan Gaurahari and Radha Shyamsundar.
Along with opening 64 temples throughout India, where the devotees were trained in the science of Krishna Consciousness, he also published numerous books of his father Srila Bhakti Vinod thakur and the previous acharyas headed by Rupa, Raghunath and others. Being fully situated on the transcendental platform and constantly immersed in the eternal pastimes of the Lord, he started a daily newspaper entitled Nadia Prakash and reasoned that if there can be numerous newspapers describing the events of this material creation, which is just a tiny fraction of the entire cosmos, than what can be said by all that happens in the transcendental realm, which is unlimited and where sweet blissful pastimes are eternally being performed by the Lord. If one is to contemplate on this subject matter, we can easily understand that only a person coming from that abode of the Lord would be capable of writing a newspaper about the activities taking place over there.
Srila Bhakti Siddhanta was also very expert at utilizing the latest facilities for pushing forward the mission of Mahaprabhu. In order to preach to the elite, he made use of fancy vehicles and would dress in formal clothing, so that the people would respect him and attentively listen to his message. He had indeed preached to many high government officials and was highly respected in all materially and spiritually learned assemblies. As such, many of his disciples were highly learned people, including professors, who took to the line of bhakti and thus perfected their lives. In this way, he perfectly portrayed how to use everything in Krishna's service, which has been described by Srila Rupa Goswami as Yukta Vairagya.
Along with all these great feats, one of his biggest blessing was in the form of his dear disciples Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, who, just to fulfil the hearts desire of his spiritual master, travelled to the west and preached the path of Bhakti. Having established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Srila Prabhupad, with the blessings of his spiritual master, brought the holy names to the farthest corner of the world so that today the prophecy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has come true, for in every town and village the holy names of the Lord can be heard. It was only due to the instructions and blessings of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur that we are able to be practicing Krishna Consciousness.
Despite having performed so many wondrous tasks, the humility of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta is a true sign of a Vaishnava of the highest order. Despite being a Sanyasi, situated in the highest order of life, he would never refer to himself as Swami, rather he would always introduce himself as Varshabhanavi devi dayita das, the name given to him by his spiritual master Srila Gaur Kishor das Babaji Maharaj, and whenever his disciples or other people would offer him their respectful obeisances, he would reply by saying 'Daso aham', meaning ' I am the servant', clearly portraying his deep humility. Yet, if one were to speak against the philosophy of Sri Chaitanya dev, he would immediately smash all apa-siddhantas, not tolerating a single word which was not in line with the teachings of Mahaprabhu.
Eternally residing in Sri Golok Vrindavan and serving the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhav in the form of Nayan-Mani Manjari, Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad appeared in this world for the benefit of us fallen conditioned souls, and therefore, on his holy disappearance day we offer our hearts at his lotus feet and pray for his mercy. The grandfather is always more loving and affectionate than even the father, and therefore, being his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, we pray for him to shower his affection upon us and grant us with firm faith in the lotus feet of Guru, Gauranga and Krishna.

This lace work by Jessica Pezalla inspired another method of creating the patterns I'm looking for.
I spent some time looking through her website, but unfortunately she doesn't really explain much about the way she works, or anything at all for that matter.
I want to try piping out a thicker version of casting slip to outline patterns in a style very similar to these lace tiles and after the design is drawn out I will go back in and fill the spaces with colored casting slips.
Megan, these are a beautiful inspiration! You should look into the work of Kate Roberts, she made an entire dress from slip-trailed tiles for the 2011 NCECA Biennale, her work is amazing and I think you might really like it.
Wow those are gorgeous… Thanks Jess!

Q: I need a simple source code vault for use with vs2010. is there a bare bones version of TFS? I thought I heard that there was going to be a entry level, low cost version of TFS that is targeted at VSS users who want repository and versioning functionality only. But I can't find the link anymore...does it exist? Or do I need to figure out how to use subversion?

A: You're looking for TFS Basic, an installation option in TFS.
It starts at $500.

A: I would recommend SVN. Go here for TortoiseSVN, an integrated windows shell solution. Alternatively, you could use VisualSVN or any number of other SVN clients, some with VS integration. If you understand the basics of versioning and source control, Tortoise is perfect for you - it's all GUI so you don't need to mess with a CLI unless you want to.

NBA – Why is Boston Favored in Every Game Over Miami?
An unusual thing has actually been taking place in the NBA lately. It is the Conference Finals and in the East the Miami Heat are squaring off against the Boston Celtics. And regardless of having a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, the Miami Heat are underdogs yet once again. They have actually been the underdogs in every video game they have actually played in the series. What gives? Lets dig into the factor why Miami is an underdog in every video game in spite of being a much better group.
Routine Season Records
Miami was 44-29. Miami won their department and Boston completed behind Toronto (53-19).
Points Scored vs Points Allowed
The Heat rating and average of 112 PPG while allowing 108 PPG. The Celtics score the exact same on offense but allow 2 points less per contest (106 PPG).
Playoffs Opponent
The Celtics beat the team that won their own division, the Toronto Raptors in a difficult combated seven video games series. The wagering public may blame this series win on the fact that Giannis went down hurt toward the end of the series.
The reality that there are probably 3 Celtics fans for each Miami heat fan has a lot to do with this. The wagering public usages their own predisposition when tossing down their bets. Miami fans are wild, however they are just outnumbered by the Celtics fans which run deep and throughout much more decades.
Before this playoff series, Boston owned the Heat in head to head. The Celtics were 5-1 of their last 6 versus the Heat.
The sportsbook hangs the number which is likely to draw in equal action on both side. For this series, that magic number appears to be Boston being preferred by three points. The general public is currently about even on tonights game 5 to the tune of 47% on Miami and 53% on Boston.

Q: Processing dependency error when installing MySQL 5.6 on CentOS 6.5 I followed an article here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-5-6-from-official-yum-repositories to install MySQL 5.6 on CentOS.
But when I run:
    sudo yum install mysql-community-server
I see following errors:
Error: Package: mysql-community-server-5.6.20-4.el7.x86_64 (mysql56-community)
       Requires: systemd
Error: Package: mysql-community-server-5.6.20-4.el7.x86_64 (mysql56-community)
       Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

In fact, no matter how I execute yum install mysql mysql-server, I'll get the same errors. I searched online, but lack of resources mentioned what's wrong with 'systemd' and 'libstdc++.so.6' and how to solve this issue.

A: Before:
yum install openssh-server wget
yum -y update

List your repos and delete mysql-community...
yum repolist

Install nessary repos:
rpm -ihv http://mirror.yandex.ru/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ihv http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm
rpm --import http://rpms.famillecollet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
yum install yum-priorities

Add priority=10 in this files:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

And from new repos installation will be good:
yum install mysql mysql-server

After may be doing this:
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
service mysqld start
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

A: for each of the libraries you cannot find, simply do a 'yum provides' for it, then install the package
e.g.
yum provides systemd
yum provides libstdc++.so.6

then you would do yum install systemd libstdc++   you may need to do a yum install libstdc++-<version> depending on your search results.
