Elite at Bletchley Park: Ann Mitchell (1922-2020)
61a8804e-71e3-426f-91bf-a7d727c7bbac
Mathematician and Codebreaker
Another sad loss was the death, on 11th May 2020, of Ann Mitchell, who was a mathematician and codebreaker at Bletchley Park. She was closely involved in the breaking of the German Enigma ciphers. Among her key tasks was the programming of Alan Turing's Bombe machines. In a world of male mathematician in Hut 6, Ann could not even divulge her job to her parents. It was in the 'machine room', close to the Enigma machines, that Mitchell devised the instructions for the Bombes – demanding and complex work, undertaken in close liaison with the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and the Women's Royal Naval Service. Once told that Maths was not 'a ladylike subject' by a teacher, Ann Mitchell later worked for a wartime member of MI5; she became a social scientist and marriage guidance councillor after World War Two, with a range of books to her credit.
RadioUser has carried a number of articles about the wartime codebreaking activities at Bletchley Park, and continues to publish a series about Spies and Radio at the moment (see the August 2020 issue).

Q: Array initialization is causing build to fail - arrayForceCastU This line of code is preventing my project from building:
var allAttributes: [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes] = []

I tried var allAttributes = [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]() and it too fails to build.
Here are the error details:
Apple Mach-O Linker Error:
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
"__TFSs15_arrayForceCastU___FGSaQ__GSaQ0__", referenced from: __TFC42com_myname...30ClassWhereCodeIs33layoutAttributesForElementsInRectfS0_FVSC6CGRectGSqGSaPSs9AnyObject___ in ClassWhereCodeIs.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

What is the proper way to initialize an array so that I may append objects to fill it?

A: That first line builds fine for me in a view controller class.

There's a difference between caring and being irrationally possessive. If my grandfather did this, I'd be upset and truly scared.

Although I agree with what you said, 10, we don't know the whole story
It's kinda sweet that the grandpa did this, but at the same time we need more information on why he would do something so rash
ThatOneChick856 | 36
I feel like if the whole story included some sort of experience that rationalizes the grandfather's actions, OP wouldn't be so annoyed. I know I'd be annoyed as fuck that my family can't respect my boundaries because of some sort of possessive issues or they're having a false power trip because I don't respond when they'd like.

8:00 am - Scramble begins!


8 high-achievers get real about addressing better mores and lesser evils, tracked their progress for 1 month and shared how they sustained these personal goals.
There's a saying that suggests 21 days is the sweet spot to form a new habit. Well-meaning resolutions, routines, personal projects make for a fulfilling start but hurdles are inescapable. That being said, we've long admired the multi-hyphenated personalities who excel at various endeavours so we gave them a 30-day goal-setting challenge. 8 individuals from all walks of life rose to the challenge and shared their experience on this project of self-discovery.
Being in the moment and just doing what makes me happy. Having more 'me-time' would be great!
Rushing for deadlines and biting off more than I can chew.
Install Happify – I came across this cool app which sends you daily doses of 'happy' messages/ tips that help reduce stress and anxiety.
Scheduling 30 minutes daily each morning, meditating or spending time outdoors.
I've been inspired by the KonMari method and with slight modification, those principles can be applied to declutter not just my physical space but also prioritising work that makes me happy. This helps me focus and be more present in the moment. Watch out Marie Kondo, the 'Renard-o' method coming your way!
Sharing my goals with a group of close friends is very helpful. I call them my personal Board of Directors (B.O.D.). Occasionally, we'll spend time outdoors during the weekend, either hiking or jungle trekking during weekends and we'll check up and hold each other accountable for respective resolutions.
I would rate myself a 4 or of 5: I've been consistently sticking to my game-plan.
Worrying about things beyond my control.
Set a fixed wind-down routine such as turning off my phone and not responding to work messages after 12am. Have the room nice and cool and taking 5 minutes to reflect on the day, write down what needs to be done in the morning. The goal is to ease my mind and keep the thoughts from running throughout the night.
Have dinner earlier to prevent late nights, get productive by setting aside an hour and a half in the morning before work to reply all work-related communications and receive response just as I arrive at office. Learning to say 'no' to going out (very difficult), listening to my body when its tired, going snowboarding in February to have a change of environment.
Some good nights, some bad. It's tough to stop working late at night as those are the most peaceful times to focus. Still lots of room for improvement but optimistic that in time, I'll find a work-life balance, peace of mind and quality sleep.
Uninterrupted, scheduled 2 hour blocks of time twice a week to think, reflect, and ideate.
Personal scheduled 'restrospective' sessions every 30 days, to reflect on what's working, what's not, and what one new idea to try in the next 30 days.
Be a feedback junkie. Keep trying different approaches and shamelessly ask for feedback on how I can do better.
I got my first book published and printed end of January. It's a tangible output from my effort last year to write it and it feels good to get the first 'done' checked off for the year.
Quiet time: meaningful reflection periods to nourish and grow. More of forgiveness to the others and self.
Social media. Less reacting and more responding.
With another app to monitor time spent on other apps! On a more serious note, I'm trying to be more conscious of my responses to others and taking time each day for deep reflection.
I want to be more focussed on kindness and doing my best. To not be stuck to a path but open up new meandering ones leading to unexpected goals.
Quiet reflection time is still a challenge but social media has less of an influence on my time. Given the difficult period in my life right now, I'm happy for the chance to wake up, feel the love from family and friends, and go to work, for tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Quality time with family, building relationships, reading, journaling and sleeping early.
Screen time and social media.
More family trips and planning ahead to prioritise time with loved ones. Not forgetting me-time!
It sounds simplistic but charging my phone outside the bedroom to remove online distractions at night is a great way to dial back on screen time and wind down before bedtime. Also, scheduling in regular time slots in my calendar for family and friends ensure a balance between the important relationships in my life.
Keeping the phone away from the bedside is really effective! Journalling may be old-school but refreshingly good for the soul to pen down thoughts, verses and meditate on God's word.
A balanced work-life to ensure I make the right choices without time wasted. Placing myself in more peaceful and calm environments to ensure the mind is relaxed and focussed, making for headspace in powerful decision-making for personal and business interests.
Pleasing everyone as Mr Nice Guy and also less of being involved in confrontational situations which attract more negativity.
Being extremely honest with yourself first, then understanding what the priorities are to achieve a happy and healthy lifestyle. Most importantly, it's about making short-term decisions and sacrifices to get closer to your ultimate goal.
By reminding myself when I wake up what makes me happy and making sure to reflect at the end of the day or before I sleep, the choices and decisions I made has some positive impact.
It's tough! Only 30 days in but so far so good. It's a game-changer when you're naturally honest and transparent with yourself. The choices you've made in the near term can seem negative, but in the long run, it'll bring more joy and pleasure.
Getting out of my comfort zone by constantly challenging myself to do more, focussing on self-improvement and working towards my personal goals.
Being afraid to take risk in life, moving away from what is known to be the 'safe environment'.
To evaluate my strengths and weaknesses and taking the constructive approach of exploring the unfamiliar or unknown, then go beyond my boundaries. I can then use these findings to navigate me through obstacles to achieve my objectives.
I really like the Roy Bennett quote: 'The one who fails and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying'. This resonates with me and keeps the positive-affirmation going.
Challenging yourself is never easy because you don't know your limits. I don't know what to expect in this ever-changing journey but one thing's for sure, I am enjoying it! All these would never be possible without support from family and my closest friends.
Drinking water! I have a bad habit of not drinking enough water to pull me through the day. I started drinking straight out of bottles so it's easier to keep track of how much more water I need to drink.
Less of holding on to unnecessary items. I'm trying to go for the whole minimalist lifestyle. My husband and I have just moved into our new home and we still have a lot of possessions to go through!
To 'Marie Kondo' our home, which I have already started. We are almost done with phase 1; clothes. Looking forward to books and papers. Not.
I have to put full focus and patience into working on our home. I'm one of those to gives up easily when I see too much clutter because I wouldn't know where and how to start. Having one of Marie Kondo's episodes playing on the telly while I spring clean helps!
So far so good! I'm drinking a lot more water, it helps a lot with my workouts and my mood. As for spring cleaning we're getting somewhere! I feel like I've learned to let go more easily and that I have a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders. Finally, my home is coming together.


A Butterfly Garden for Changi Airport, Singapore.
Sprung out at Terminal 3 of Changi Airport in 2008, the butterfly garden in an airport is the first of its kind in the world. With an area size of 422 sq metres, its lush tropical greenery hosts 30-50 species of butter ies as it serves to keep travellers relaxed yet captivated in their journeys. As visitors walk through the garden, they are refreshed with the natural jurassic- like surrounding with sounds of an artificially recreated waterfall, which also cools this tropical themed retreat.
The 2nd-tier of the garden which is accessed through a spiralled staircase, allow visitors to witness the flight activities, feeding and breeding behaviours of the butterlies. Educational corners in the garden allows learning and understanding of the butterflies. One can also see the emergence of butterflies from its pupae, as they hang from inside a unique butterfly release see-through capsule.
When the evening approaches, the greenery and waterfall starts to glow and emanate light. Every night, visitors of this garden finds peace, solitude and possibly romance in an enclosure that surrounds everything beneath with an almost magical, starry-night effect.

Hydrogen Leak from Onboard Storage System of a Fuel Cell-Powered Lift Truck
A significant hydrogen leak occurred during refueling of the onboard hydrogen storage tank of a fuel cell-powered lift truck while it was completely depowered. The in-tank shutoff solenoid valve had recently been replaced, and this was the initial refueling event after the replacement. The fuel zone access panel was removed to allow constant visual leak checking with Snoop leak-detection fluid. The event occurred during the final pressure testing of the repaired system when an O-ring failed at approximately 4500 psi, releasing the entire contents of the hydrogen tank in about 10 minutes.

Ball of Fire from Hydrogen Fuel Cell Forklift Flashes and Quickly Extinguishes
A fuel cell forklift operator stated that he observed a "ball of fire" coming from the left side of the forklift that seemed to flash and extinguish. Investigators found no external signs of a fire, but the forklift would not start. The fuel cell power pack access panel was removed to enable investigators to search for any internal signs of a fire. Some areas inside the fuel cell stack appeared to have experienced an electrical arc or some type of overheating. All connections were verified to be tight and secure. The internal fuel cell stack circuit board cover was then removed, and the circuit card on top of the stack also showed signs of overheating. After the fuel cell stack circuit board was removed, a broken drill bit was discovered on top of the fuel cell stack plates. view more
Fuel Cell Evaporator Pad Fire
The evaporator pad in a fuel cell power unit installed in a hydrogen-powered forklift caught fire during operation. The evaporator pad is used for wicking the product water created by the fuel cell. The operator dismounted the forklift, observed flames coming from the fuel cell unit, and called for help. The facility fire brigade used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. The upper left corner of the fuel cell evaporator pad was burned entirely; the plastic bracket that holds the evaporator pad in place was distorted; there was some discoloration of the radiator. No injuries were sustained by the operator and no damage was sustained by the forklift.
The fuel cell unit continued to run during the incident, as did the onboard data acquisition device. Hydrogen concentrations view more
Hydrogen Fueling Dispenser Nozzle Drive Away
A fueler drove away without disconnecting the fueling hose from the vehicle. The breakaway did not open and the receptacle fitting sheared off the vehicle. Subsequent testing of the breakaway showed that the breakaway operated at 210 lbs, which was above the design value of 133 lbs. The hydrogen contained in the hose between the dispenser shutoff valve and the vehicle check valve was released.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Traffic Accident
DESCRIPTION: On a Friday afternoon in 2007 a traffic accident occurred at the corner of two urban streets. Two vehicles were involved. Each vehicle contained a single driver (no passengers). Vehicle 1 was a Fuel Cell Vehicle. Vehicle 2 was a conventional Toyota Camry. Vehicle 1 was traveling west, approaching an intersection with a green light, and proceeded into the intersection. Vehicle 2 was traveling north on a cross street. The driver of Vehicle 2 incorrectly perceived a green light and proceeded into the intersection. The vehicles collided in the intersection.
RESPONSE: The police were coincidentally in the area and able to respond quickly to the site. The vehicles were moved out of the intersection. Vehicle 1 (fuel cell vehicle) shut down upon impact and was pushed out of view more

Top 5 Anime by Issa M. (Honey's Anime Writer)

Anime Recommendations [Article Category]
Issa M.
I wasn't always open with my love of anime. Back when I was younger, my mother thought I had better things to do than "watch children's cartoons", so I always watched anime when she wasn't around. (Mom, if you're reading this… I'm sorry for being such a disobedient daughter!) At that time, my only options were the Filipino dubs on local channels. That was my first exposure to the likes of Princess Sarah, Remi: Nobody's Girl, Blue Blink, Zenki and B't X.
Also, I was an awkward, socially inept kid. Sometimes, I'd hear my classmates talk about Dragon Ball, Hunter x Hunter and other shounen anime, but I didn't dare chime in. I wasn't sure how they'd react to the idea of someone like me – a serious, straight-A student – watching anime, so I kept quiet. In hindsight, it was a bad move: I could've made more friends, and would've had better memories of pre-college years, had I dared to break the ice. But that's spilled milk now.
Fast forward several years later: I graduated from high school. Since most of the best universities in my country were located in the National Capital Region, I decided to move there for my college studies. Because I spent the first 16 years of my life in the province, the city proved to be a shock for me – and so did college life. I had to brush up on my social skills, fast.
And, as fate would have it, many of my college friends were anime enthusiasts. So were the co-workers I got along with, once I left college. I suppose I liked them because they brought out something I've hidden for so long: My inner otaku. (I know "otaku" has a negative connotation in Japan, but until someone comes up with a better, one-word term for "anime fan", I'll stick with that.) Thanks to them, I was able to watch anime I would've have watched/heard of otherwise. More importantly, though, they were a reminder that someone like me belonged somewhere.
Anyway, enough about me. You're here, because you want to know what this person nicknamed "Issa M." considers her top 5 anime. These don't come in any particular order, really: Out of the anime I've watched over the years, these were the ones that stuck with me the most. So, without further ado, here they are:
5. Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon)
Aired: Jul 2013 – Sep 2013
Yugo Hachiken may be good at studying, but he doesn't really know what he wants to be when he grows up. To make something of himself, and to get away from his family, he enrolls in a rural agricultural school, where he thinks he can get top marks without much effort. However, being a city boy, he realizes he knows next to nothing about milking cows, collecting freshly-laid eggs, and — heaven forbid — chopping off chickens' heads without batting an eyelash!
Based on Hiromu Arakawa's childhood (yes, that Hiromu Arakawa), Gin no Saji is an insightful look into what life is like on a farm. For example, if you're a cheese lover, you'll really appreciate that dairy product more if you found out how hard it is to make it! I'm not sure how accurate these details really are, since I didn't grow up on a farm, but I think Gin no Saji is a great watch either way.
Also, the characters all have their distinct and memorable personalities. There's Tamako, the plump girl who prefers to be plump, even though she's drop-dead gorgeous when she loses weight; Nakajima-sensei, the teacher who looks like Buddha but gets really angry if you touch his cheese; and Mikage, the pretty and cheerful girl with a heavy burden to bear.
Overall, Gin no Saji has a good mix of comedic, heartwarming and tearjerking moments. (Seriously, after watching that episode with the piglet, you'll never look at your pork the same way again.) If you want to dip your toes into the slice of life genre, I suggest you start with this one. You won't regret it, I swear!
TV Anime "Silver Spoon" Trailer (English Subbed)
4. Mushishi
Aired: Oct 2005 – Jun 2006
I've written a review about this show before, but in case you don't want to go through that humongous wall of text, here's the gist of it:
In an alternate reality, strange creatures known as "mushi" exist. Believed to be the purest form of life, mushi flit from one human settlement to another, often causing trouble along the way. Enter Ginko, a mushishi ("mushi master"), who travels wherever the mushi are, and helps/counsels people on how to deal with them.
Mushishi is a pretty mellow series, with the occasional disturbing element thrown in. (For example, that "eye scream" scene in Episode 2. *shudder*) It doesn't really have an overarching storyline. Rather, it slowly unfolds the nature of the mushi – and of people – as it goes along. Each episode is self-contained, so you don't have to marathon it to get the full picture of what it's all about. In fact, I'd recommend not marathoning it, because you'll want every episode – and every life lesson in that episode – to really sink in.
By the way, I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 of Mushishi, both in Japanese and English dubs. That's how good it is, so watch it!

3. Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror
Aired: Jan 2006 – Mar 2006
If you're Googling this anime, make sure you type "Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror" in full; otherwise, you'll end up with a much different show than what I'm about to write. But I digress. Let's just call it "Ayakashi" from here on, for convenience's sake.
Ayakashi is divided into three tales: Yotsuya Kaidan, Tenshu Monogatari and Bakeneko. Yotsuya Kaidan tells the story of one of Japan's most famous onryo, Lady Oiwa, who comes back from the dead to haunt her philandering husband and his family. Tenshu Monogatari, on the other hand, tells of the forbidden love between a human and a "forgotten god". Lastly, Bakeneko is about a monster cat who gets repelled by a mysterious Kusuri-uri ("medicine peddler").
Like most of this series' fans, I enjoyed Bakeneko the most, for the sheer trippiness of the animation, and the awesomeness of the Kusuri-uri. Next would be Yotsuya Kaidan, because those scenes with the rats still give me nightmares to this day. I put Tenshu Monogatari in last place, not because it's no good, but because I don't think it really counts as "horror" in the strictest sense of the word.
If you want something to cool you off on a hot summer's day, I suggest you give this anime a try. You can also check out Bakeneko's spinoff series Mononoke (not to be confused with the Miyazaki film of the almost-same name), in case you can't get enough chills up your spine.

2. Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan
Aired: Jan 1996 – Sep 1998
As the title implies, it's about a rurouni ("wanderer") named Kenshin Himura, who only wants to live a peaceful life in the Meiji era. Unfortunately for him, peace isn't an option for someone who once lived as the legendary assassin Hitokiri Battousai, so he constantly finds himself hounded by his past.
To be honest, I'm not sure what I can say about this anime that hasn't been said a gazillion times before. All I can say is, this is one of the first anime that I've ever watched, since I grew up in the 90s. I remember watching it dubbed in English on a local channel, before watching it again dubbed in Japanese on AXN Asia. In both instances, I thought this anime had a great storyline – especially around the Kyoto Arc – so it's no wonder Rurouni Kenshin will be forever remembered as a classic in its genre.
Rurouni Kenshin Original Trailer (Samurai X)
1. Monster
Aired: Apr 2004 – Sep 2005
What if a good deed comes back to bite you in the butt? No, that's not a typo: It's basically what happened to Monster's protagonist Dr. Kenzo Tenma, a highly skilled Japanese brain surgeon based in Germany. One day, he's forced to choose between two patients in critical condition: the mayor of Dusseldorf, and a little boy named Johan Liebert. He chooses Johan, so the mayor loses his life – and Dr. Tenma loses his social standing and fiancée.
Despite this unfortunate turn of events, the good doctor believes he did the right thing. However, when he becomes implicated in a series of murders nine years later, and realizes that Johan was responsible for the aforementioned murders, Dr. Tenma goes on a hunt to clear his name, and repair what he thought was a grave mistake: saving a boy who would grow up to be a murderous psychopath.
Monster is, first and foremost, a chilling psychological thriller. Although Johan doesn't show up for much of the series, you can still feel his malevolent presence in the form of the people he's interacted with. Somehow, he has this ability to persuade people to do the most terrible things without much effort – and that's what makes him scary. This show will make you wonder: How far should you hold on to your morals, before they start to do you more harm than good?
The only complaint I have with this anime is that it's really slow. Nothing much happens in most of the middle episodes. However, you can't miss any single one of them, because they're all pieces in the puzzle that is Johan Liebert. Just like with Dr. Tenma, if you miss just one piece, it could make a whole lot of difference between life and death – or whether you'll enjoy this show or not.

It's time for another Beautycon Box! This season Beautycon has put together all your Spring Essentials including skincare, haircare and makeup. It's got everything to amp up your look and your beauty routine. There are some fabulous brands this season! Let's dig in.
Cargo Cosmetics Around the World Palette | This item obviously stuck out among this month's goodies. A full size eyeshadow palette? That's amazing for a subscription box. This palette features twelve gorgeous neutral shadows that are perfect for spring. It took me a while to realize it, but did you know Cargo palettes are divided into quads and duos? That way you can coordinate your perfect eye look every time!
IBY Beauty Blush in Peach Sheen | I love this peachy blush, it's such a flattering color. Full disclosure, this blush actually arrived completely shattered. I was able to revive it with some alcohol and a mini offset spatula (perfect for kiddos and frosting cupcakes in case you wondered!). It looks good as new now and I can't wait to pop this on my cheeks for a quick peachy flush this spring!
Luxie Beauty Duo Fibre Powder Brush 516 | Some of my absolute favorite brushes come from Luxie. I don't have any of their duo fiber brushes so this is a welcome addition to my collection. I love applying really pigmented blushes with duo fiber brushes and this is a great size for that. Luxie brushes are fabulous quality and make application a breeze. If you haven't tried them, definitely check them out.
The BrowGal Convertible Brow Powder + brow brush | I love a natural brow so I enjoy trying new brow powders. This palette includes three versatile colors so you can combine them to create your own personalized shade. They're really pigmented but blend beautifully. I use a combination of all three shades for my brow depending on where I want more brightness or definition. The included brush has an angled side as well as a spoolie to groom brows and apply the powder for a natural finish.
Nuxe Shimmering Dry Oil | Oh how I love dry oils. Why? Because they give hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. This particular oil can be used on the skin or hair which I love! I like using a dry oil on second day hair to give it a bit more shine and tame fly-aways. This will be great for the spring and summer especially because it has shimmering mineral particles for added luminosity.
OGX Orchid Oil Color Protect Spray | This oil can be sprayed on hair both before and after styling. It helps protect color treated hair from the sun to prevent fading so your color will last longer. It also provides moisture and shine when you apply it after styling. This is another type of product I love for my second day hair. Can't wait to use this for springtime.
NYX Illuminating Stick in Rose Petal Pop | Although this is called an Illuminating Stick, this is actually a blush. The Illuminating Stick line includes highlighters as well as blushes and bronzers. This shade is a pretty pink that's perfect for the warmer months. It appears vibrant in the tube but actually blends out nicely for a natural flush that can be built up.
Dirty Little Secret Matte Liquid Lipstick in Rust | I've only tried eyeshadows from this brand but I love them! This particular color isn't one I would personally wear but the packaging is beautiful. Keep an eye out on my Instagram (@thebeautypuff) and see it featured in my birthday giveaway! *See rules on Instagram post.
Garnier Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes | I'm more apt to use makeup removing wipes than a liquid so I love the convenience of these wipes. This formula is suitable for all skin types which is great. I also saw that Garnier came out with a Mattifying Micellar water so I hope that comes out in a wipe form as well!

Hey, it might be sunny out, but that doesn't mean you can't speed-watch some quality television. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we'll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Netflix Shows to Binge Watch This Summer.
For this list, we're looking at Netflix exclusive series that everyone should watch, with preference given to those with new seasons coming out, making a summer viewing all the more easy to justify!
If you were lucky enough to grow up in the '90s, you likely remember the wacky series "Bill Nye the Science Guy" with great fondness. And how could you not? Bill made science not only accessible to children, but genuinely fun and exciting! In recent years, with his original audience now grown up, Nye has evolved into a beloved voice of reason and champion for science. And clearly, Netflix took notice. On this science talk show, Bill Nye explores modern, relevant topics from a scientific perspective. It's campy, over the top, and unabashedly pro-science, but those are all reasons people fell in love with the science guy in the first place.
Although this series got off to a bit of rocky start with reviewers, over the years, it has very much come into its own, earning widespread critical acclaim. For those of you unfamiliar with this unlikely hit… BoJack Horseman is, well… a show about horse-man. But he's so much more that. He's a TV star passed his prime, fighting to stay relevant in the industry. Oh, and did we mention that he's voiced, (perfectly, we might add) by Will Arnett? An animated series aimed at adults that's darkly funny and infinitely more insightful that one would guess at first glance, BoJack Horseman is a show you really need to watch to believe!
Teen suicide is pretty heavy subject matter, and it takes a deft hand to present it in a way that feels honest and engaging, yet non-exploitative. And so, the brains behind this adaptation of the novel by the same title should be commended for striking the perfect balance. The basic concept is this: Following the suicide of a romantic interest, friend, and classmate, teenager Clay Jensen receives a collection of tapes, in which the victim, Hannah, outlines the thirteen reasons why she took her life. Through her narration we get her story, while in the present we get to see the impact of decision. It's a unique and captivating concept that begs to be binge-watched.
As explored on the show "Entourage", the story of Pablo Escobar has always seemed a strange omission from the long list of gangster and drug dealing films inspired by real individuals. We've seen the story of Henry Hill, Frank Lucas, and George Jung, so why is it that the most notorious drug lord in history got left off-screen for so long? Well, as if making up for lost time, Netflix finally brought this famous Colombian's story to life in 2015, not just with a film, but with a big budget series. If you're a fan of gangster cinema, or you know, just good television, you've got to see this.
Many American viewers were late to the party on this one, left to wonder how this incredible British series had managed to fly under their radar for years. Originally broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK for the first two seasons, Black Mirror made the jump to Netflix after they purchased the rights to the show and commissioned more seasons, bringing it to larger international audience in the process. Each episode of this series is a standalone story, exploring possible near futures, as an investigation of modern society and our technological culture. Some of this stuff is pretty terrifying... making a sunny summer day the perfect time to watch.
The casting department behind Parks and Recreation sure knew what they were doing. Not only did they nab Chris Pratt before he became the A-list blockbuster hunk he is today, but they also cast hilarious comedian/actor, Aziz Ansari, who has since become a veritable comedy heavyweight in the industry. Master of None, created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, was pretty much all twenty-somethings could talk about when season one was released in 2015. Following Aziz's character, Dev, as he navigates modern life in NYC, the series is an unconventional comedy-drama, that seems to perfectly understand the millennial experience. Deeply funny and utterly original, Master of None is mandatory viewing.
In this modern age of content overload, there seems to be some new must-watch show every few months, but for once, this is a series actually worthy of enduring hype. Orange is the New Black is an important show for a number of reasons. First of all, its very premise acts to humanize female prisoners, a group that has long been marginalized. It also features a diverse cast, including queer and transgender women, as well as many women of color. Furthermore, it proves that a mostly female ensemble cast can have widespread appeal. But all that would be for naught if not for this one key factor - it's a damn entertaining show.
Do you enjoy the connected cinematic universe that Marvel has put together in the form of their MCU? Well then… if you haven't checked out the original shows they've been producing for Netflix, there's really no time like the present to take your Marvel love to the small screen. Serving as a vessel for more grounded heroes and long form, character-driven stories, the Marvel Netflix format has delivered a veritable barrage of quality content since kicking off with the first season of Daredevil in April 2015. Since then, we've been treated to Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist, all of whom come together to form The Defenders crossover series.
They say that nostalgia is bad for your health… but we think that anyone who has watched Stranger Things will strongly disagree with that sentiment. Drawing inspiration from the child-centric adventures of yesteryears like "The Goonies" and "E.T. the Extra-terrestrial," Stranger Things taps into '80s nostalgia and delivers a dose that's hard to fault. From its impossibly charming cast of characters, to its compelling storytelling, Stranger Things is something that modern television seems to be sorely lacking - a show of substance that actually leaves you feeling good. Though season two promises to up the horror quota from the first, we sincerely think this dedicated viewership can't be scared off.
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
It was Netflix's first foray into the world of original programming, and boy was it ever a homerun effort. Adapted from a British miniseries, this Americanized version follows the story of Democrat politician Frank Underwood, a man whose ambition literally knows no bounds, and his similarly strong-willed and successful wife, Claire. Both Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright consistently stun in these respective roles. Though those interested in political intrigue will likely love the series, this Emmy-Award winning drama is so compelling that the show has achieved appeal that reaches well beyond genre barriers. So get binge-watching, because you've got a lot of catching up to do!

BACKGROUND
As a National Program Office (NPO) of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Data Across Sectors for Health (DASH), works with communities across the country to build local capacity for multi-sector collaborations and data sharing efforts to inform an evidenced-based national movement toward a Culture of Health. The Community Impact Contracts (CIC) funding program offers access to direct technical assistance, targeted funds, subject matter expertise, and a supported peer cohort working together to pursue equity and increase sustainable community capacity to lead and leverage data system development.
DASH is proud to support projects that center communities and work to eliminate structural inequity through multisector, data sharing efforts. Light on the Hill at Mount Wesley, a CIC awardee, exemplifies what it truly means to be a catalyst for others in understanding the endless possibilities for what happens when you share data.
Light on the Hill at Mount Wesley, a faith-based 501(c)(3) public charity devoted to improving community health based in Kerrville, Texas, is a shining example. Six ministries located on the campus offer services related to healthcare and health-related needs: Kerr Konnect (an on-call volunteer driver service for young and elderly adults), Families and Literacy (educational programs including the area's only GED prep course program), the Mustard Seed Food Pantry, an Education and Exercise Center, a Nutrition Center, and Wesley Nurse (the largest 80+ site outreach program in South Texas). They used their CIC award to purchase licenses for a platform to help them see where the coordinated services they offer were most needed, and where they made an impact.

Latitude 38'S Guide
to Marine SSB
Despite several advances in offshore voice communications such as satphones, marine single sideband (SSB) isn't going away anytime soon. That's because SSB, unlike satphones, allows an unlimited number of people to listen to a transmission at the same time.
As such, SSB is the only way to go for the various regional cruising nets, such as the Baja, Sonrisa, Chubasco and Southbound. It means that when Don Anderson of Summer Passage, for example, transmits his latest weather forecast, anyone who wants to can listen at the same time. When someone has a question about the forecast, everyone can hear the question and Don's response.
Marine SSB is also perfect for cruising events such as the Baja Ha-Ha, the Caribbean 1500 and the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. "While the Ha-Ha doesn't require SSB radio," advises the Grand Poobah, "most boats do have them. They're good for safety — but fun, too. The folks with SSBs are able to actively participate in all the roll calls, weather and fishing reports, and other fleet news. Over a period of nearly two weeks, personalities develop over the radio, and an even greater sense of community is established."
In racing events such as the TransPac, Pacific Cup, and Singlehanded TransPac, it offers more than just straight communication. "Thanks to marine SSB, our 1700 hour reports and discussions maintain the racing camaraderie and fun," notes Jack McGuire, KG6CJN, communications chairman of the '08 Pacific Cup race.
Although not the subject of this article, the other significant benefit of SSBs is that, when used with a Pactor modem and SailMail, they allow for the transmission and reception of brief emails while offshore.
You don't need to pass a Ham radio operator's test to use a marine SSB. All that's required is a valid Ship Station license and a lifetime Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's permit. No testing required! The Ship Station license is good for 10 years and is non-transferable. If you're good at dealing with online government forms, you can apply for a license at http://wireless.fcc.gov. If you're not so good at it, or don't want to take the time, my lovely wife Suzie will be happy to help for a fee: (714) 549-5000.
How does Ham (amateur radio) differ from SSB? If you're new to long distance marine radio, I suggest not even worrying about it. Although I run the Radio School and some of the income comes from teaching students how to use Ham radio and pass the test, I generally discourage new SSB operators from taking that step right away. Get the no-test license for SSB radio, become familiar with the procedures and protocols, and use it for a few months. If you find that you're one of the very few cruisers who talks on the radio so much that SSB frequencies aren't adequate, then look into Ham radio. Or if you're going to the South Pacific, where there's lots more traffic on ship-to-ship channels, you might consider eventually moving up to Ham status. But generally speaking, it's really only for serious radio buffs.
By the way, there is nothing to prevent folks with SSB radios from listening on Ham frequencies, and indeed, there are some helpful Ham-only weather broadcasts. If you're worried that you might accidentally stumble onto a Ham-only frequency, start transmitting, and really piss off the 'radio police', fear not. SSB radios that are capable of working Ham frequencies come 'locked' from the factory. Some can only be unlocked using software, while others can be unlocked by simply pressing three keys at the same time. In cases of genuine emergencies, Ham frequencies can be used by people who don't have a license.
How Far on What Bands?
A marine SSB system operates on marine radio spectrums called shortwave, medium frequency and high frequency — 2 MHz-26 MHz. This radio spectrum is shared with hundreds of other radio users including shortwave broadcasts, Ham radio, FEMA, the American Red Cross, and long-range aircraft.
Radio signals within the SSB shortwave spectrum refract off the ionosphere and come back to earth hundreds or thousands of miles away without the need for communication satellites and/or ground stations. Each marine SSB radio frequency band has a very predictable skywave bounce bulls-eye. If you choose a band that's too high, your signal will skip over the other station. If you choose a frequency that's too low, your signal won't go far enough to reach.
The following is a good guide for choosing the band of frequencies that will target your first skywave bounce:
2 MHz 200-400 miles
6 MHz 600-1,200 miles
12 MHz 1,200-2,400 miles
22 MHz 2,200-4,000 miles plus
26 MHz unpredictable during our solar cycle minimum
Pop Quiz #1: You are in San Francisco and you want to talk with your buddy who's on his boat 1,200 miles away in Cabo San Lucas. Which band on marine SSB might you choose?
Answer: Because 4, 6, and 8 MHz would likely fall short on the first radio signal bounce, 12 MHz and 16 MHz would likely be your best choices
The thing that usually drives new SSB operators nuts — and I know that it still irritates the Ha-Ha's Grand Poobah — is that SSB radio frequency/channels are so different from VHF, FM, television, and almost every other kind of channel. On VHF, for example, channel 72 is channel 72. On television, channel 7 is channel 7. What could be more simple?
Certainly not SSB radio. Get this: while 4146 is always 4146 on SSB, it's also known as 4A, and sometimes the designator 4-1. In addition, depending on the individual radio, it's often channel 35 or channel 77, and could also be some other channel. That's right, depending on what radio you bought and when, and who might have customized the user channels, channel 35 and channel 77 may or may not be 4146 and vice versa. And, of course, it might also be channel 63 or 147 — or a bunch of other channels.
The best way to get to 4146 is to just tune to 4146. The problem is that you may have to do a lot of knob turning, which can be annoying. In order to eliminate unnecessary wrist injuries from knob turning, some manufacturers 'channelized' the more popular frequencies. That is, they assigned specific channels to specific frequencies. For example, the Icom SSB radios of several years ago assigned channel 35 to frequency 4146 (aka 4A and 4-1). Unfortunately, in later radios, they decided to assign channel 77 to 4146 (aka 4A and 4-1). In addition, some retailers created custom 'user channel' packages, which gave yet another channel designation to 4146.
How did it all come to this? SSB operators used to have to spin the frequency knob like crazy to find anyone because there are more than 1,000 SSB frequencies — only a very few of which will ultimately be of interest to you. (More on that later.) As a result, most modern marine SSB transceivers — a fancy name for a combined transmitter and receiver in one black box — have nearly 700 pre-stored duplex channels (specific frequencies designated as channels for easier access). After all, what's easier: dialing through 1,000+ frequencies or 700 channels?
Nonetheless, you could spin your SSB dial all day long and you'd probably still hear nothing — except for WLO, the excellent radiotelephone station located in Mobile, Alabama. If you want to pick up something, look for on-the-hour weather and traffic reports on the following International Telecommunications Union (ITU) three- and four-digit designators: 405, 417, 805, 824, 830, 1209, 1212, 1226, 1607, 1624, 1641, 1807, 2237 and 2503. If you punch in 1607 on the hour, you'll get traffic lists and weather broadcasts from powerful WLO. The U.S. Coast Guard also broadcasts voice weather reports on ITU channels 424, 601, 816, 1205, and 1625.
Because SSB radios are more complicated than VHF radios, you might initially have a little trouble punching in the three- and four-digit ITU channels and/or the actual frequencies.
Icom America, Furuno, and SEA are the last remaining SSB manufacturers, and of the three, Icom is the undisputed leader when it comes to equipping recreational vessels with marine SSB gear. To help North American sailors more easily call up relevant ship-to-ship, Coast Guard, weather facsimile, Ham and marine telephone stations, Icom has pre-programmed 160 "favorite channels" — channels 1 through 160 — into a memory circuit titled 'User Channels'.
If you have an Icom 802 and tune to channel 77, you'll find that you'll be on frequency 4146 (aka 4A). And if you tune to channel 135 on an 802, you'll find yourself on frequency 3968, which is home to the Sonrisa Net at 7 a.m. Pacific Time in the winter. It will even show 'Sonrisa Net' on your screen, even though the Sonrisa Net only uses that frequency a few hours each day.
Your radio will no doubt also have a toggle for 'channel/frequency'. As you move it, the display will switch back and forth from, say frequency 4146 to channel 77 — assuming, of course, that 77 has been assigned to 4146 on your particular radio.
Most Icom marine SSBs may be tuned off of a memorized channel, to hear a weather report on a frequency that has recently moved. Press the 'CL' button — the channel knob now goes into frequency changing — and turn the knob in tiny steps. You may need to do a lot of knob twirling to get to some of the new weather nets. Be sure to push 'CL' again to get out of this mode.
Take this opportunity to run all the user channels on your radio, and make a list of what frequencies/stations they refer to. As mentioned, if you have a newer Icom 802, it's very likely, but not certain, that you have the same channel/frequency combinations as owners of other new Icom 802s. But if you have an older Icom model, or perhaps had a custom user channel package installed into your 802, I'd recommend that you have an authorized Icom dealer come down and give you the most recent user channel package. He'll just plug his computer into the front of your radio and download the new stuff. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes and will sync you with the majority of other SSB radios.

If you look at the table above, you'll see Latitude 38's favorite SSB channels that will help you better understand that each channel has a specific purpose. You'll notice there aren't 700 of them. That's because you can use only 33 primary channels. And for cruisers in California and Mexico, you'll almost certainly use just five of them: 4A, 4B, 4C, 8A and 8B. That's not many, but you'll rarely have trouble finding an open channel. (There are an additional 49 secondary channel/frequencies on the 4 MHz and 8 MHz bands that you can use if they aren't being used at the time, but if you're just starting out, you don't need that additional confusion.)
The main thing to do is play with your user channels/frequency combinations so you become familiar with them. It won't take long. If you find that your channels are out of sync with most other folks' SSBs, you might want to change yours to match theirs. Depending on how technical you are, you may or may not need assistance.
Calling for Help over the SSB
There are six Coast Guard Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) channels/frequencies:
2182, the distress channel
4125 (4S)
12,290 (12S)
The Coast Guard and other international rescue agencies monitor them 24 hours a day. U.S. Coast Guard monitors out of Hawaii, Guam, Alaska, San Francisco, New Orleans, Miami and Norfolk.
Warning! Remember, different bands have different ranges. If you make an emergency call on 2182 when you're halfway between Mexico and the Marquesas, it's very unlikely anyone will hear you. If you check the earlier chart, you'll see that you'd actually want to transmit on 12,290 (12S) where the range would be 1,200 to 2,400 miles.
SSB in an Emergency
Marine SSB has been allocated hundreds of international channels, some of which are closely guarded by the U.S. Coast Guard and worldwide rescue agencies. They are prepared to act immediately on any received mayday or call for medical assistance. The Coast Guard maintains 24/7 distress radio guards on the following frequency bands:
2.182 MHz 0-400 miles
4.125 MHz 400-800 miles
6.215 MHz 600-1,200 miles
12.290 MHz 1,200-2,400 miles
Checking Your SSB Reception and Transmission
As a new user, even if you get some meaningful reception as you dial around the channels, you'll probably still wonder if your SSB is working as it should. One way to find out is by trying to pick up the time signals at 10 and 15 MHz and WWV, which provide a continuous signal for a ready reference. If you're still at the dock and plugged in, you may find that turning off the shore power battery charger will make a huge difference in your reception. Ditto for refrigeration, fluorescent lights, and inverters.
If you're not sure that you're transmitting, you can tell a lot by looking at the LCD display on the face of your radio. First, push the 'TUNE' button, at which point the radio should briefly transmit a low power signal to tune the automatic antenna coupler. Do this on any 6 MHz channel as long as there is no traffic on it. The word 'TUNE' should flash a couple times on the LCD screen, and then stay up on the screen when the radio cycles back to receive. Still see the word 'TUNE'? This is good. However, if the word 'THRU' comes up, or 'HI SWR', you've got problems. It's probably time to bring in an NMEA-qualified marine SSB specialist to find out what's wrong between your radio and your tuner.
Assuming you do get 'TUNE', it's time to pick up the mic and try a short transmission. After doublechecking that the frequency is clear, key the mic, and speak directly into it saying "FOOOOUUUUR." The mic should be touching your lips when you do this. If the following things happen, it suggests that your transmission is good and powerful:
1) The LCD bar graph goes full scale.
2) Your cabin lights dim slightly.
3) The instrument indicator lamps glow.
4) The bilge alarm squeaks.
5) The house battery drops about half a volt.
It's perfectly normal for instrument panel lights to glow and bilge alarms to squeak when a powerful 100 watts are coming out of your SSB. But be sure to doublecheck that the LCD transmit indicator shoots across the screen when you say a very loud "FOOOOUUUUR."
A potentially more dangerous way to test the transmit power output is with a small fluorescent tube at night. Ask your first mate to hold the glass tube against the insulated backstay antenna or the big white whip. Caution! Be sure they don't touch the backstay with their fingers or other parts of their body, as this could result in a nasty burn or worse. Say the magic word ("FOOOOUUUUR") once again, and the tube should instantly light up. The glass must actually be touching the radiating antenna or antenna lead-in single wire for this to happen.
If the cabin lights dim, the head flushes, numerous bilge alarms go off, and the fluorescent tube lights up, chances are excellent that you're putting out 100 watts. But are they clear watts? Only a radio test with another SSB user can determine that, so ask someone else in the marina to dial in a common ship-to-ship channel, such as 6224, and run your radio check. This will be a good test for a nice, clean signal.
If your test partner reports that your sound was garbled, and you've just added a new email modem to your rig, temporarily disconnect the wire going from the back of your SSB to the computer. If your voice is now clear, these additional wires are the problem. Your local marine electronics specialist carries snap-on filter chokes, which may resolve the garbled voice problem.
A good test for the range of your radio is with me! I'm happy to offer Latitude readers free, on-the-air radio checks on an appropriate SSB frequency that will agree with the approximate range between your station and mine here in the Newport Beach area. If your boat is in the Bay Area, we will likely use 8 MHz. If you are local, we'll go with 4 MHz, and if you're down in Cabo, we'll probably choose 12 MHz. Call me at (714) 549-5000 on weekdays and we'll find a nice quiet channel for our radio check.
Another great way to test your marine SSB transmit-and-receive capability is with weather guru Don Anderson on his marine SSB Amigo Net. He begins at 1415 hours Zulu (UTC) on 8.122 MHz, upper sideband. If you have the latest frequency load from Icom America, it's already stored in memory as channel 105. If you don't find it in memory, you will need to break out the instruction book and learn how to program a new frequency into your user-programmable frequency 'bin'. It's not hard, but if you've never done it before, it can be a mystery. If you have problems while in San Diego you might want to call in a marine electronics tech familiar with marine SSB equipment. Try Shea Weston of Offshore Outfitters at (619) 225-5690 or (619) 980-6217 (cell).
Two Final Tips
First, if you sent your Icom 802 to the factory to get the 'clipping' problem fixed, you'll note that there are two places to plug in the antenna. One is for the DSC antenna, the other for your SSB antenna. Unfortunately, they are not clearly labeled, and a number of people have plugged their SSB antenna into the wrong port. As a result, transmit and receive range are minimal. You'll see an antenna tuner error if plugged into the wrong jack. Set it up temporarily and test it with time signals.
Second, to avoid violating FCC rules, Icom is very conservative regarding output power and how wide the signals are. I think they're too conservative. If you get that voice compression software unlocked, your radio transmissions will boom out with a commanding signal like Voice of America. The software upload is available only from authorized Icom dealers. They can come aboard and plug it into your radio, as well as the most recent 'user channel' update. It usually takes just 15 minutes.

A day after siring the G 1,000 Guineas 1-2-3 at Newmarket, Galileo was represented by another outstanding filly at the Curragh on Monday as Found (4f Galileo-Red Evie, by Intikhab) cruised to an easy win in the G3 Camelot EBF Mooresbridge Stakes. Last season's G1 Breeders' Cup Turf heroine is now likely to set her sights on some high-profile targets after this victory under Ryan Moore. "I didn't think she had come forward as much but she obviously did," said trainer Aidan O'Brien. "She's still not there and hopefully something to look forward to. The G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup remains the plan. "The plan was the last day, this race and then the Tattersalls. Then we might look at the G1 Coronation Cup but that's not definite. She'd get a break and then have one or two runs before the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe." Found is owned by Michael Tabor, Mrs John Magnier and Derrick Smith.
