You may elect to have your bank statements delivered to you electronically.

If you choose to receive bank statements electronically, Bank will send an email reminder to the email address that you have provided when your statement becomes available to view online. You can change the email address for the statement reminder at any time by selecting Update Profile on the e-Statement page within OB. Each account statement will remain available online for least 12 months from the statement date. You may also print the statements or download them to your own system. There is no charge for this service. If you receive a combined statement for your accounts, once you select to view any of these account statements online, all other statements for referenced, related or linked accounts will be available only online.
To view account statements and other electronic notices online, you need the same hardware and software that you use for OB as stated in Section 4. Your statements and other electronic disclosures will be provided in an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
You consent to the electronic delivery of your periodic account statements, all related terms, and all notices (including any modifications in the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement and Fees and Charges) which are included with the paper statements, or otherwise normally mailed to you. You agree that electronic copies of communications are valid. You agree that posting the notices and/or modifications online, has the same effect as mailing them to you. Your paper account statement may be delivered for one statement cycle after you elect to not receive paper copies of statements, and then you will no longer receive a paper copy delivered by mail. Images of any checks and other items you currently receive will be included as part of your online account statement. You may also request a paper copy of any statement by contacting Customer Care at 325-766-3311. Charges may apply for paper copies.

You have the right to withdraw consent by: (i) Contacting Bank in writing at OB Services, PO Box 609, Roscoe, TX, 79545; (ii) sending your request via secured message through OB; or (iii) by calling OB 325-766-3311.
You understand that to use OB Services you need a computer or other device with access to the Internet and compatible hardware, software and web browser. Bank requires you to use a web browser that supports adequate security measures including SSL encryption technology or additional security measures as Bank may require, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 10 and above, or the most current version of Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Bank also requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or newer to access pdf documents. Obtaining and maintaining adequate Internet access is your responsibility, and you are solely responsible for all internet service provider fees and costs. You understand that the Bank is not responsible for any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with your use of the Internet in general or your use of OB services via the Internet.
We may send messages relating to OB to the email address we have on file for you and notify you that responses to your payment inquiries or customer service inquiries are available, or as otherwise described in any applicable agreements governing OB. Bank will not, however, include any account numbers, Access Codes or similar non-public personal information in any email response to you. If, for any reason your email address changes or becomes disabled, it is your responsibility to contact bank immediately so that we can continue to provide you with automated messages.
You represent that you are the legal owner of the accounts linked to OB, and that all the information you provide to us in connection with OB, including your email and contact information, is accurate, current and complete, and that you have the right to provide such information to us for using OB. You agree not to misrepresent your identity or your account information. You will keep your account information up to date and accurate. When using a mobile device to access OB Services, you represent that you are an authorized user of such mobile device.
To enroll in OB, you must maintain at least one account with Bank which may be any one of the following types of personal and/or business accounts: Checking, NOW, Money Market, or Savings Account, a CD, or a Personal, Consumer, Mortgage or Commercial Loan.
Authorization to enroll requires a Bank Account Number and specific qualifying information.
To use OB, you must use the User ID and Password ("Access Codes") we establish or provide for you. You may set up your Access Codes through OB. Keep your User ID and Password confidential to prevent unauthorized use or loss to your accounts. Anyone to whom you give your Access Codes will have full access to your accounts even if you attempt to limit that person's authority. Additionally, that person will have full access to any of your accounts which are accessed by those Access Codes, even if those accounts are joint accounts with another person.
None of our employees will contact you via phone or email requesting your Access Codes. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, do not release your information and contact Bank immediately in person or by telephone. Following successful enrollment, Bank will identify and allow you online access to any other qualifying account(s) tied to the authorized enrollment confirmation. The tied accounts and loans make up your OB profile. You will be provided the opportunity to disable displaying any specific account(s) listed in your OB profile. You will also be provided the opportunity to add any accounts not included in your OB profile. This requires you to be an authorized signer on the added account(s). Qualified accounts may be added to your profile at any time. Information access to added accounts will be available immediately. The request to add an account must be in writing and submitted to OB PO Box 609, Roscoe, TX 79545 or requested through secure messaging in OB. You agree that you will only use business accounts and business or commercial services for business purposes or business transactions. You also agree that you will not use your business account for personal, family, or household use or to effect transactions for personal, family, or household purposes.
Upon successful authentication to OB, you will have already selected a User ID and Password that will allow you to access your account information. Use of the User ID and Password will indicate to Bank your acceptance of this Agreement. You agree to protect your User ID and Password from unauthorized use by not divulging the User ID or Password to anyone or in any way allowing the User ID or Password to be obtained by someone. If Bank detects suspicious activity such as repeated, failed login attempts using your User ID, Bank may restrict access to OB through your login credentials. If your access is restricted, you may not be able to retrieve your Password or log in to OB. If you are unable to retrieve your Password and you have recurring bill payments set up, you must contact Customer Service to regain access to your account or to have the bill payments cancelled.
We reserve the right, under certain circumstances, to deny access to any one or more or all deposit and/or loan accounts or to OB, or to deny the processing of transactions in order to maintain or restore security to our website and systems. We may also do so if we reasonably believe your Access Codes have been or may be obtained or are being used or may be used by an unauthorized person(s). You should not use email as a means of communications to ask questions about your account(s) or maintenance and/or problem resolution issues, or to give comments regarding your satisfaction with OB. Email is not a secure method of communicating over the Internet and we recommend you do not send confidential information by email. We recommend all such communication be sent via the secure messages feature available within OB. We also do not recommend using email to communicate matters requiring immediate attention as delivery of such correspondence may be lost or delayed. You should communicate matters requiring Bank's immediate attention in person or by telephone.
For banking transactions, you must use the appropriate OB Services or call a bank location convenient to you. Confirmation of any transfer can be obtained from your statement, through OB, or by calling OB 325-766-3311. If you discover any discrepancies, you must notify Bank immediately.
Joint account holders may use the same account as their funding account for their individual OB services. As such, each account holder has the same right of access to account activity such as notifying Bank of suspected loss or fraud, initiating or canceling a transaction, etc. Each such owner or authorized representative may individually enroll in OB. Each user is required to have a unique User ID and password. Each user will have his/her own payee list payment history.
To provide the highest level of confidentiality and security, we require use of browsers that provide encryption using 128-bit key. The higher the level of encryption, the harder it is for unauthorized persons to read information. Major browser suppliers (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) support 128-bit encryption versions that are available for download from their respective websites without charge. The encryption level may be called cipher strength or refer to cryptography.
Through your active participation in OB, you consent to the recording and/or data capture of the information and transfers you enter. All electronic communications received from you after having accessed OB using your User ID and Password will be deemed to be valid and authentic and you will be deemed to intend and agree that these electronic communications will be given the same legal effect as your written and signed paper communications.
You understand that security procedures implemented by Bank are for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of the instructions transmitted to Bank by you ("Instructions"), and not for the purpose of detecting errors in such Instructions and Bank shall not be liable for any failure to detect errors in any Instruction. You agree that our security procedures constitute a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized Instructions. You agree to be bound by any Instruction issued by you and received and verified by Bank in accordance with such security procedure, and you shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless against any loss suffered or liability incurred by, or arising from, the execution of Instructions in good faith and in compliance with security procedures.
Additional terms and conditions for business customers using commercial services, such as ACH, wire, Business Bill Pay, and Positive Pay are provided in additional agreements relating to such services and your commercial Deposit Account Agreement.
Services are limited to the extent and subject to the terms noted below. Services are also subject to the terms and conditions of your Deposit Account Agreement and applicable service level agreements, including, but not limited to the ACH Funds Transfers Agreement and the Wire Transfer Agreement. Mobile deposits are subject to the terms and conditions of the Mobile Capture Addendum. For some services, such as Treasury Management Services, you must first contact Bank to apply to use the service and execute and agree to the applicable service level agreement prior to accessing or using the service.
You understand that, to access and use Mobile Banking Services, you must have a Mobile Device with the ability to access the Internet via a web browser and SMS text message functionality, as well as other compatible wireless hardware and software necessary to operate such Mobile Device. You understand you must have a Mobile Device service plan with a suitable Mobile Device service provider of your choice, and that your Mobile Device service (including Internet connection) is not part of Bank's Mobile Banking Services. You are responsible for acquiring, maintaining and operating your Mobile Device and for all associated costs, expenses and fees you incur from your service provider or any third parties in using your Mobile Device for Mobile Banking Services. You understand that Bank is not responsible for any errors or failures of your Mobile Device or its software and is not responsible for any viruses or related problems that may be associated with the use of the Mobile Banking Services.
Federal law limits your ability to transfer funds from certain accounts as well as the number of times you may debit certain types of accounts. You should refer to the Deposit Account Agreement for these legal limits and the service charges and penalties related to overstepping these restrictions and limitations. Transfers made using these services are included in calculating the number of transfers from affected accounts. There is a maximum dollar limit on any transfer, which is the available balance, and/or credit line or overdraft courtesy availability.
With regard to transfers between your Bank accounts, all funds transfer instructions received before 6:00 p.m. Central Time on a business day will be posted to your account the same day. Funds transfer instructions received after 6:00 p.m. Central Time on a business day or at any time on a Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday will be considered as having been received the next business day. Bank business days are Monday through Friday. Federal holidays are not included.
You understand that you have no right to cancel any type of transfer request after it has been entered into OB Services and the information has been transmitted to Bank. You transfer request may be processed on an automated system. If you request that a transfer order be cancelled, Bank may, but is not obligated to, use reasonable efforts to give effect to your cancellation request. Bank shall not be liable for any losses or damages incurred by you if any transfer is not cancelled after your request for cancellation. In order to cancel future-dated payments, you must log into OB and follow the directions provided for canceling transfers. You may also request to cancel a future-dated transfer by calling Bank at OB 325-766-3311 or writing us at PO Box 609, Roscoe, TX, 79545. Bank must receive a cancellation request via telephone or in writing at least three (3) business days before the transfer is scheduled. If you call, we may ask you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. If you do not provide required notice of cancellation, Bank will not be liable for any losses or damages incurred by you if the transfer is not cancelled. Bank is not responsible for any transfers made before it has a reasonable opportunity to act on your cancellation notice.
If circumstances beyond Bank or Bank's agent's control prevent making the transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that have been taken. Such circumstances include but are not limited to computer failure, telecommunication outages, delays caused by payees, strikes or delays and other labor or civil unrest, fires, floods, and other natural or man - made disasters.
You acknowledge that there are alternative methods for accessing the information and conducting the transactions provided by these online services, including making deposits at any Bank location, or payment by check.

Fees for OB are subject to change.

The notice will be posted and/or sent to you at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of any additional fees for OB, or regarding any stricter limits on the type, amount or frequency of transactions or any increase in your responsibility for unauthorized transactions, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system. If such an immediate change is made, and it cannot be disclosed without jeopardizing the security of the system, we will provide you with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after the change.
You agree to promptly pay all fees and charges for services provided through the OB services and Mobile Banking Services, and you authorize us to automatically deduct all applicable charges, interest charges, and fees from your account or accounts. If you close all your accounts with us, your OB Services and access will be cancelled.
You agree to review your statements promptly upon receipt for accuracy. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe an unauthorized transaction may be conducted from your account(s), if you believe another person has improperly obtained your User ID and Password, if you believe someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without authorization, or you suspect fraudulent activity on your account. If you have any suspicious activity to report, you should contact Bank in person or by telephone.
When you give someone your User ID and password, you are authorizing that person to use OB, and you are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using your OB Services. All transactions that person performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is no longer authorized, then only transactions that person performs after the time you notify us are considered unauthorized. Additional information regarding unauthorized transfers can be found in your Deposit Agreement and Treasury Management Services Agreement. Transactions initiated by you, or by someone acting with you or at your instruction, with fraudulent intent are also deemed authorized transactions. For your protection, sign off after every OB session. Advising us right away may help you reduce possible losses. You could lose all the money in your designated deposit accounts.
We do not have any duty to monitor the payments that are made through OB or the Bill Pay Service. If you are a business and an authorized representative of yours uses your Bill Pay Account to pay bills which are not yours, you assume the entire risk of loss and indemnify and hold us, our directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, liability, claims, demands, judgments and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with such use.
We reserve the right to amend or terminate this Agreement and your access to OB Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason. If you do not access your account(s) through OB for any seven-month period, we reserve the right to disconnect you from OB without any notice to you. If Bank terminates your access, Bank reserves the right to cancel any payment or payments or transfer or transfers that may still be pending. It is your responsibility to effect payment(s) due if your subscription with OB is canceled by us due to lack of activity or any other reason.
If you wish to cancel OB Services, please provide commercially reasonable notice. Call a location convenient to you or send us cancellation instructions in writing to PO Box 609, Roscoe, TX 79545. Any banking transactions or payments you have authorized prior to notice of cancellation will be completed as instructed until Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to effect the cancellation. Neither termination nor cancellation shall affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement for transactions initiated prior to termination or cancellation.
You may not assign this Agreement or your right to OB to any other party.

https - does ssl certificate need to be part of openJDK root certificate store?
Customer is running GMSC 2018 update 3 within intranet. We are introducing ssl.
Customer provided a SSL certificate signed by their own organisation, not an external ssl certificate provider.
When GMSC is launched it goes straight to offline mode.
Is it possible that their is some sort of relationship between the Java client openjdk root certificate store (cacerts) and the IIS https / ssl certificate? i.e. any reason the ssl certificate would have to be added to the client java cacerts?
Given java is a client that seems a stretch, but there are some online articles indicating that might be required. Or perhaps that is just code signing certificates?
Note: so far we have only tested launching on the server itself as we don't have privilages to deploy new hexagon launcher in customers desktop environment. Server is 2012 R2.
Re: https - does ssl certificate need to be part of openJDK root certificate store?
no, there is no relation between your event viewer issue and the OpenJDK certificates.
Can it be called without errors?
If the WSDL can be shown without issues and you still encounter issues, please request a new setup (16.5.320.2) from the support team.
Thanks Steve, great to eliminate any possibility of SSL cert being part of Java cert store.
Client has now setup another cerficate and we are operational. Looks like original certificate was bad.
Perfect, that's nice to hear.

Seaside Heights moves to ban 'teen nights' at clubs
Patrons under 21 won't be able to enter Seaside Heights' nightclubs if the borough approves a new ordinance on July 3.
Seaside Heights moves to ban 'teen nights' at clubs Patrons under 21 won't be able to enter Seaside Heights' nightclubs if the borough approves a new ordinance on July 3. Check out this story on app.com: https://on.app.com/2JCx8tn
Jean Mikle, Asbury Park Press Published 5:00 a.m. ET June 11, 2018 | Updated 4:18 p.m. ET June 15, 2018

SEASIDE HEIGHTS - In the latest effort to shed its rowdy image, Seaside Heights is moving to ban "teen nights" at borough nightclubs.
"Eighteen to party, 21 to drink, that's been written out," Mayor Anthony Vaz said of changes to a borough ordinance that would bar those under 21 from nightclubs. "We're trying to change our image to a family resort and it's been working."
Those under 21 will still be allowed at establishments serving alcohol if they are attending a dinner or a private party with adults over 21, Borough Administrator Christopher J. Vaz said. (The administrator is the mayor's son.)
While the new ordinance impacts all bars and clubs in the borough, the greatest impact would be on nightclub owner John Saddy, who owns the Bamboo Bar and Karma nightclubs. Both clubs are located on the Boulevard.
Both clubs have had "18 to enter, 21 to drink" policies, and Karma hosted a teen night event on May 27 that borough officials said resulted in six overdose calls and four arrests for underage drinking.

A public hearing on the ordinance banning teen nights is scheduled for July 3.
Saddy said Friday that he plans to file at least one — and possibly two — federal lawsuits against the borough, similar to the lawsuit filed against neighboring Seaside Park by former nightclub owner Stephen D'Onofrio.
D'Onofrio, who operated the Sawmill Restaurant on the boardwalk, claimed Seaside Park officials attempted to shut him down after he hosted a 2004 show by the rapper Method Man. The borough eventually settled with D'Onofrio for $2.5 million.
Saddy said that one of the "overdoses" described by Seaside Heights officials was a girl who had an epileptic seizure from exposure to strobe lights, while another was a drunk man who was denied admission to Karma.
"They just started counting everything on me," Saddy said. "Everything that was going on was counted as overdoses from Karma."
He said his business has been negatively impacted after numerous police cars, at least one fire engine and first aid squad vehicles gathered outside Karma on May 27.

A restaurant operator who had shown interest in opening an eatery in the space next to Karma has now backed out because of the negative publicity, he said. A club promoter has also canceled several June events at Karma, Saddy added.
Last month, the borough sought an injunction in Ocean County Superior Court to prevent Karma from opening for Memorial Day weekend.
Seaside Heights' action came only days before the club hosted the Hyperglow Tour on May 27, an event that "has been on a mission to become America's Largest Party," according to a posting on the Hyperglow website.

Seaside Heights claims Karma is being operated in violation of a site plan approval that calls for a full-service restaurant to be open on the property.
Site plan approvals from 2008 require Karma's owners to have a full-service restaurant, to be operated on the club's first level, by "an independent restaurateur."
The owners of Savor, the restaurant that previously operated in the first-floor space, announced in April that they would not be reopening this year. A sign outside Karma advertises a new restaurant, Chillz, which opened this weekend.
Saddy is also part-owner of the shuttered Merge nightclub building, also on the Boulevard.
The borough is seeking a court order from an Ocean County Superior Court judge to allow Seaside Heights to tear down the building, which was damaged by a fire in October 2012, and then by superstorm Sandy about eight days after the blaze.
Saddy has said he believes the Merge building can still be repaired. See what Merge looks like now in the video at the top of this story.

Mayor Vaz said he believes Saddy's establishments are the only ones in the borough that have been hosting under-21 patrons in the past five years.
Seaside Heights has spent several years trying to change its image from what the mayor has called "the bar atmosphere."
That atmosphere was on display in the mega-hit MTV show "Jersey Shore," which featured the exploits of a group of young partiers who stayed in Seaside for several summers.
The TV show shone a bright light on Seaside and brought welcome publicity, along with tourists who hoped to visit the same spots frequented by Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Jenni "Jwoww" Farley and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.

But it also stoked an image of the borough as an alcohol-soaked party town for 20-somethings. The Jersey Shore cast was frequently shown partying at Karma and the nearby Bamboo Bar, also owned by Saddy.
While Seaside Heights officials say the Jersey Shore experience was a net positive for the borough, Mayor Vaz and borough council members have said they want the town to shift back to the more family-friendly image it had in the 1960s and 1970s.
In keeping with this shift, the borough is considering a number of other measures, including barring anyone under 21 from renting a motel or hotel room unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, and cracking down on motels and hotels that do not enforce occupancy limits.
Mayor Vaz said the borough has not yet made a decision on the age limit for renting a motel or hotel room, and is still seeking input from the public, as well as motel owners, many of whom have objected to the proposed age limits.

Many Seaside residents and some business owners have complained about rowdy groups of teenagers who crowd the borough's motels and hotels during prom season. But motel owners say the teens provide a large part of their seasonal business.
Meanwhile, Saddy said he is speaking to attorneys about his potential lawsuit.
"Over 30 officials and employees will be named," he said. He said he wanted to "thank all the borough employees who came forward to me with information."

The Cauldron celebrates its 90th anniversary
By Kourtney Husnick
Establishing itself 36 years before classes began at Cleveland State University, The Cauldron's first issue went to print Monday, Oct. 7, 1929 as the Co-operative Engineering College paper at the Cleveland YMCA School of Technology (Y-Tech). With a staff of 23 students, one faculty advisor and $46 in printing expenses, The Cauldron was born.
In the words of The Cauldron's first staff members, the publication was made to be "a boiler or melting pot containing the who, what, why, when, where and how of occurrences, written in a snappy tone and with a style which will be appropriate for dealing with collegiate news events." That goal has stayed with staff members through countless other changes and transitions in the paper's operations.
The first years of publication occurred in the standard, broadsheet newspaper style once per month. Over time, printing schedules changed back and forth in a range from the original monthly release to an almost daily distribution.
Finishing volume one of The Cauldron in 1930, the first staff members shared high hopes for the future of the publication they began.
"The boys on the staff have left a permanent mark of their spirit at Fenn," the 18 students who remained through the first year wrote in the June 1930 issue.
The publication has continued on through several establishment changes, surviving as Y-Tech transitioned to Fenn College and as Fenn College melded into Cleveland State University.
As we hit the anniversary of The Cauldron's beginnings once again, we decided as a staff to honor those before us and offer an understanding of where we are now to the Cleveland State community.
Consistent focuses, consistent coverage
Even as the university has changed, the issues covered in The Cauldron hold some consistency. From athletics to parking, Cleveland State – and Fenn College before it – has had many of the same discussions and goals for decades.
In 1929, The Cauldron noted Y-Tech's growth, claiming that athletics were a contributing factor and that the school was "adapting the method of other colleges which have built themselves up by athletic programs." At the time, athletics programs helped other colleges build new classrooms, according to the article.
Today, improving the attitude around athletics at Cleveland State is one of the strategic priorities that the university is focused on moving forward. However, profits from athletics won't be funding new classrooms in 2019. While some sports do have ticket sales, Cleveland State does not make a direct profit off athletics.
The 18 NCAA sports that the university offers are funded through the General Fee and Athletic Fee, which the student body pays each semester.
Fast-forwarding to the official beginning of Cleveland State, the prioritization of an affordable education was at the forefront of the new university's creation. Tuition was under $500 for 3,000 full-time students, according to an article in The Cauldron's Sept. 27, 1965 issue. Tuition ranges from $4914.60 to $5,372.40 for current full-time, undergraduate students depending on their start date, which is one of the lowest rates in Ohio.
Stuck on the same subjects
However, some issues haven't seen much change. While 2009 brought along construction of the Student Center as we know it today, the building that is now known as Julka Hall and the opening of South Garage, Cleveland State students have faced many of the same problems for at least the last decade with little or no solutions.
When South Garage was under construction, Parking Services called it a "solution to the parking shortage," but the garage was originally opened as guest and visitor parking, according to a fall 2009 issue of The Cauldron. Students with a pre-paid parking pass couldn't utilize the lot until October of that year, and parking is still a consistent complaint of most commuter students today.
Student representation also still held controversy. The Student Government Association (SGA) elections reportedly had campaign violations, and arguments about the treasurer's appointment went well into September.
Even popular culture discussed on campus held a familiar tone as Zombieland released in October 2009. Although, when the sequel releases later this month, The Cauldron's shift in content focus means there will not be a film review in the next issue this time around.
The Cauldron in the present
Ninety years after the newspaper "poured forth from the printing press for the first time," The Cauldron prints biweekly during the fall and spring semesters — with the exception of one online-only issue for the first time this year due to changes in the organization's operating budget.
The $46 printing expense from the first issue in 1929 has increased to $1,380 for the first issue of this semester. The $1 that The Cauldron requested from each individual student in 1929 has increased to approximately $3.08 per student this year, based on the enrollment number listed on Cleveland State's website.
Advertising sales decreased from an expected $40,000 in 2012, to a university expectation of nothing this year, resulting in the loss of the Ad Manager position on The Cauldron's staff. The full business staff that once existed for the publication has dwindled to nothing, limiting the ability for the newspaper to make up for unexpected, and uncontrollable, budget cuts. However, the staff has partnered with a sales class to take on contributing sales representatives and attempt to curb any potential loss of funds.
As with any university publication, funding and access to information consistently becomes a difficult conversation. The Cauldron's history of changing publication schedules and physical condition is likely to continue changing. Still a melting pot with a snappy tone providing the who, what, why, when, where and how of occurrences, The Cauldron celebrates its 90th anniversary with the release of this issue.

O Reformatório Estadual de Ohio, também chamado de Reformatório de Mansfield, é uma prisão histórica localizada na cidade de Mansfield, Ohio, Estados Unidos. Ela foi construída entre 1886 e 1910, sendo inaugurada em 1891 e permanecendo em operação até 1990, quando uma decisão judicial ordenou seu fechamento.

História
Mansfield foi selecionada em 1867 como possível local para a construção de uma Penitenciária Intermediária, que tinha a intenção original de servir apenas como meio caminho entre a Escola Industrial para Meninos de Lancaster e a Penitenciária Estadual de Columbus. A construção começou em 1886 e só foi finalizada em 1910 devido problemas de financiamento. O arquiteto original do projeto foi Levi Scofield, que empregou os estilos neogótico e neorromânico com o objetivo de encorajar os detentos a "renascerem" em suas vidas espirituais. O custo de construção foi de mais de um milhão de dólares em valores da época.

O reformatório foi inaugurado em 15 de setembro de 1896 para seus primeiros 150 detentos. Foi considerado por um tempo como uma das melhores prisões do mundo, porém começou a ficar datada e superlotada na década de 1930. Ela permaneceu em operação até 1990, quando uma decisão judicial do juiz distrital Frank J. Battisti ordenou que fosse permanentemente fechado. A maioria dos edifícios e muros foram demolidos, com apenas o prédio principal permanecendo de pé. A Sociedade de Preservação do Reformatório de Mansfield foi formada em 1995, tendo transformado a prisão em um museu. A sociedade também realiza visitas guiadas com objetivo de angariar fundos a fim de financiar projetos de reabilitação e preservação do local.

Vários filmes, séries de televisão e clipes musicais já foram filmados no reformatório. O primeiro foi o longa-metragem Harry and Walter Go to New York de 1976, em que a prisão é usada como locação para a parte central da história. Depois disso ela já apareceu em outras produções como Tango & Cash, Air Force One, Ghost Hunters e Ghost Hunters Academy, além de clipes de artistas como Godsmack, Lil Wayne e Anti-Flag. A produção mais famosa a ser realizada no reformatório foi The Shawshank Redemption, em que a maior parte do filme foi filmado na prisão e nos arredores de Mansfield.

Take an easy stroll - or summit race - up Whidbey Island's highest point, Goose Rock.
Deception Pass State Park is one of Washington state's favorite year-round destinations; Beachside camping, salt-water kayaking, and plenty of short, accessible trails with endless views of the strait. Goose Rock, the tallest point on Whidbey Island, is just southeast of the Deception Pass bridge and a popular destination for its moderate hike and gorgeous payoff.
This adventure starts just beneath the southern end of the Deception Pass bridge, where you'll take the leftmost trail along the water towards the east side of the park. You'll see signs for the Goose Rock Perimeter Trail, which you'll follow for as long as you want. This trail circumnavigates the mountain and has three different fork options that will lead you to the summit – from the north, northeast, and south. For this route, follow the Perimeter Trail all the way to its southernmost end until you see a large wooden sign stating "Goose Rock Summit: 0.8 miles, 30 minutes to the top." Take a sharp right uphill here and follow the trail to the top.
Find a spot on the many flat rock platforms and soak in the view! When you're ready to head back, continue downhill towards the Discovery Trail, which will land you back where you started beneath the bridge.

A Deadly Deluge or Just Wet Socks? — By Jennifer Shipp
Baja California Mexico North America
January 22, 2017 No Comment Baja California, Mexico, North America
It's easier to think and feel now that we're south of the border, but the lights are still flickering, the ceiling still leaking, and the storm is still raging in spurts.
Yesterday, I was in The Zone for just a few minutes. Maybe an hour. I was working on a project and for the first time since Trump got elected, I was chill.
I wasn't worried.
I didn't have anxiety.
I was just working, but in a place just slightly south of the border.
I have not been "chill" since November. And this is not a political statement. Not really. No. It's an a-political statement about balance. It's about the Tao of Enduring a Storm of Unknown Intensity and Duration.
It had been raining all day in Tijuana. Our apartment is right along the ocean and outside the window, the waves slapped aggressively at the shore. The wind blew hard against the giant floor-to-ceiling window in our vacation rental. The lights flickered. But I didn't care. I was staring hard at my computer, deep in thought, when John went and put a little bowl under a leak in our bedroom. He came back out to the living room and took up a station near me on the couch to stare hard at his computer again. Lydi was quietly eating raisins in a corner chair and reading about the history of Russian cyber-surveillance.
We were all very Zen, which was notable since we haven't been Zen in months.
Until the bowls and containers were overflowing with water, I didn't really want to acknowledge that there was a flood in our Tijuana vacation rental.
Until the water started leaking from three, and then five, and then seven different places on our ceiling here in Tijuana, until the water started pooling an inch deep around the edges of the room, I refused to acknowledge the leaks as anything more than just a source of irritation. We put little bowls and trash cans under each new leak.
But then, very suddenly and without warning, the balance was tipped and John and I weren't okay with the leaking anymore. Lydian wasn't okay either. There was no tsunami. No tidal wave. No hurricane. But there was, buried deep in my subconscious mind, the true story of a woman who'd gone to Cancun for a vacation along the beach. She had been standing on her balcony when a glass window fell out of the room above hers, a glass window not unlike ours, chopping her head off. As I mopped the water toward the "low end" of our apartment, the deep, mysterious recesses of my brain played up footage of shoddily built Indian buildings collapsing in a heap during the monsoon season. Was this building shoddily built as well? My brain replayed the ruins left from a fluke landslide that happened down the street from us in Costa Rica. I wondered about the eroded bluffs upon which this complex was built. My anxiety swelled and rose like the tide.
So John, mulling privately over his own unique inner fears, ran up the stairs two at a time to the apartment above ours, hoping that the owner would be there and be able to enlighten us as to why our apartment was leaking so heavily. But the apartment owner wasn't there. A window of his was open though. So John called the maintenance man and got permission to break into the man's apartment through the window. The maintenance man was happy to have John crawl into our upstairs neighbor's kitchen sink and onto his counter top and then into his living room because he was overcome by other needs from other apartment owners whose windows had broken in huge chunks and fallen out into the cement courtyard. Some men across the crags from us frantically swept water from on top of a newly built building. Other people down the street were tying down things that were flapping in the wind.
After going into the apartment to find nothing strange and nothing particularly wet, John left the apartment, fell, or rather, fell and then slid down the stairs, breaking his phone and cutting his ankle. He came back inside our apartment, a veritable pool of water by that time, wide-eyed and panting like a deer after a narrow miss with an oncoming train or a rabbit after being chased by a big dog.
"We have to leave NOW!" He said. It was like a replay of what we've been saying to each other for the past two months after Trump got elected.
There was a tense moment of silence except for the sound of water dripping into buckets and trickling down the walls.
"Wait." I said. "Just wait." I said it quietly. I'd been packing things up to go already, but I wasn't ready yet. "I don't think we need to leave." I said, "We just need to put some things in the car and wait. Let's see how bad things get."
I'd been reading a book called Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russia since I know very little about Russia and since the relationship between Russia and Trump worries me. An alternate title for this book could be: Tales of Disillusionment and Desperation. As I read, I've been relating to the Russians as they try to adjust to the drastic change from communism to democracy. We celebrated the disintegration of the Soviet Republic in the West, but the normal Russian folks who just wanted to live their little lives peacefully from day-to-day struggled to keep up with their government's dramatic changes. When the ceiling is leaking in one place, you put a bucket under the wetness and wait for it to quit raining outside. When it looks like the whole building is going to collapse, you leave everything behind and just go. But what do you do in those moments after the ceiling starts leaking but before the building disintegrates in a heap?
Some people hold tight to denial, a powerful antidote to intuition. Others embrace whatever side of the disillusionment seems most comfortable to them. But none of us really knows what's going to happen. Even the people in high places couldn't possibly divine the future because humans are unpredictable. Anyone who's ever spent time with a two-year-old knows the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most determined authority figures. I like to remember how people started communicating using a code crocheted into doilies during the French Revolution (or maybe that was merely a figment of Dicken's imagination, but still). Whenever I feel like humanity might be doomed by some tyrannical leader somewhere in the world, I try to remind myself that good people are only doomed for as long as they allow themselves to be doomed. And further, that good things can come from the bad.
Our building didn't collapse. There was no landslide. No tidal wave. And we didn't leave. But we did brace ourselves for the worst and we were prepared to wake in the middle of the night and leave quickly. Because we didn't know what was going to happen. And history tells us that weird, unthinkable things do take shape in uncertain times. And sometimes that's okay and you can live with it, but sometimes it's not. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they're comfortable with the water as it rises in their own homes and what they're going to do to remedy the problem.
Later that night, after the rain stopped, John stood at the window looking out across the courtyard at our neighbors. "I feel sorry for the people with the broken windows." He said. I went over and stood next to him and sighed. He said, "They have bigger problems than us."
"That's true." I said. And we agreed that even in the same apartment complex, people may be suffering more than us, or less than us. They might be suffering equally, but in an entirely different way. That even in a place where we all look like we're living the same lives, the same storm might affect people in vastly different ways. It's easy to forget to be sympathetic when one's socks are wet and the humidity in the apartment is making all the windows steam up, but it's a wonderful escape to be able to wipe the fog away, look out, and take a moment to care about the neighbors next door.

"To achieve this, I took Judi back to no make-up whatsoever and then applied a pale translucent wash of color on her face. I then repainted to define all of the skin colors to mottle her skin. I repainted the veins and the blemishes and shadows—all with a view to harden her features and give an overall severe look. I accentuated all of the downward lines and shadows to give appearance of sadness.
"Along with Judi's make-up all of the other actors wore a character make-up. It was a question of researching each character and finding a common feature that we could incorporate, whether it be the way the hair was dressed, or the characteristic of facial hair. Sometimes the actual characters really did not have much of character interest for us to go on so when that was the case we were able to elaborate a little and have some fun with their look.
"Facial hair played a big part to the look of this film and was particularly prevalent within this period of history. One of the big problems we have now is the HD camera. This is very unforgiving in our department. Even using HD hair lace/gauze does not save us from exposure! We ended up having to lay on all of the facial beards and mustaches with loose hair and Pros-Aide in order to eliminate a lace showing on camera.
"We always set out to do the best work we can on every film I do. We are so pleased with the way the film looks. I have in the past felt people far underestimate the work involved in re-creating a period look. It's usually just seen as hair and lipstick! Even the hotel waiter in L.A. whilst there for the nominees' luncheon said to us: 'Your film doesn't have much make-up work in it'!

Richard John Knight was unlicensed for an asbestos demolition job carried out on a Riccarton building in February 2017.
While the worker did have experience in the construction industry and in demolition, he was not licensed to manage the removal of asbestos.
Nor had he obtained the required certification for the work he completed.
"Mr Knight required a Class A removal license for the job – but instead of ensuring a competent person was engaged, decided to flout the law," says WorkSafe's Head of Specialist Interventions, Simon Humphries.
Knight also deceived the building owners into thinking he was licensed to complete the work.
"Asbestos is an extremely dangerous product and we have regulations in place for a reason – to keep workers and the public safe," Humphries explains.
A reduced fine of $3000 was imposed, the judge having taken into account Knight's financial situation (he had been adjudicated bankrupt in September 2018; and his company RM Solutions was liquidated in May 2017). The maximum penalty is a fine not exceeding $20,000.


For 2019, Opening Convocation will take place on Sunday, August 25. Please check back on July 2 for more updated information.
Opening Convocation is a tradition at SMU that is not to be missed!
Tune in at 5:00 p.m.
All new first-year and transfer students are invited and encouraged to attend SMU's 104th Opening Convocation. At this event, students are formally welcomed to the SMU community in a ceremony dating back to 1915, in the very first days of the University. Highlights of the ceremony include faculty in full academic regalia and the presentation of the new class of students to the President, SMU administrators and professors. Our convocation speaker will offer enriching words to set students on their new path of academic discovery.
An important part of Opening Convocation is the Rotunda Passage. Marching to Opening Convocation, students pass through the Rotunda of Dallas Hall, SMU's first building and a historic landmark. Recognizing that every undergraduate student at SMU has crossed through the Dallas Hall rotunda, students have an opportunity to reflect on their passage to college and their intellectual and personal growth for their time at SMU.
Graduating students confirm year after year that the full impact of Rotunda Passage is not felt until their graduation and the Rotunda Recessional, another SMU tradition when seniors walk through the rotunda of Dallas Hall in reverse and their thoughts turn back to the beginning of their SMU experiences.
Family members and friends are invited to join us for Opening Convocation.
It's a special event you will not want to miss!
Please direct all questions regarding Opening Convocation to ceremonies@smu.edu or call the Division of Enrollment Services at 214-768-3417.

Where will the Guardian and Ancient City spawn in Minecraft 1.19 update?
The output of Minecraft Update 1.19 means players finally have access to some of the most anticipated features since the Caves and Cliffs Part 2 update in November 2021.
The Warden was originally supposed to be released with Minecraft 1.17 in June 2021. However, it ended up being delayed due to various technical difficulties and time constraints.
Another feature that Minecraft 1.19 update brought to the game is the ancient town structure. This structure is a fortress-like building with different sections like an altar, a tower, and secret entrances. It also has a collection of blocks and items like soul sand, soul fire, and soul lanterns, as well as skeleton heads and candles to light up the structure.
Location of the guardian and ancient cities in Minecraft 1.19
Ancient cities can only be spawned in the Deep Dark biome and are always found at level Y -52. They are quite large and are made of blocks like the deepslate, the newly added reinforced deepslate, basalt and its variants, as well as blocks of gray wool.
Reinforced slate is mainly used in the construction of "frames" along the walls of the structure. Players can find unique loot chests in this structure, with items that can only be found in that particular location (echo shards, music discs, etc.)
Due to their spawning environment, most of the area in and around an ancient city is littered with sculk blocks, sculk catchers, sculpting catalysts and sulking criers.
Sculk sensors act as mini alarm clocks that take note of any vibrations around them. From the sound of a player walking to the placement of a block, these amazing new blocks can pick up almost any form of vibration.
If enough sculk sensors are triggered at once or a significant amount of noise is emitted from players or mobs, sculk howlers around the area will start picking up sound. They will then respond with a terrifying cry.
Dangerous inhabitant of the Deep Dark or just a misunderstood threat? You'll have to wait for the Wild update to decide!
In the meantime, RT if you're excited – or terrified – to meet the Guardian!
Dangerous inhabitant of the Deep Dark or just a misunderstood threat? You'll have to wait for the Wild update to decide! In the meantime, RT if you're excited – or terrified – to meet the Guardian! https://t.co/Uc6xuiFUSB
If this shout is triggered continuously, it can cause a Guardian (or several Guardians) to appear.
Guardians, as Minecraft players know, are only found in the deep black biome, which means that players will have to be very careful when exploring this mysterious and strange structure.
The Warden is the strongest monster in the game, with a health bar of 500 HP, which is significantly larger than that of a Wither or even an Ender Dragon. In fact, the mob is so powerful that it can kill a player with full Netherite armor in two hits.
The Guardian has a plethora of attacks and abilities. While her strongest is obviously her melee attack, she also has a secondary ranged attack that can damage a player through multiple layers of blocks.
A Guardian's abilities include an enhanced sense of smell, which allows them to hunt prey (players and other monsters).
An ability the Guardian brings to the game serves as an entirely new status effect known as Darkness.
The article continues below
Whenever a Guardian begins to close in on a player, the Darkness status effect takes over. When this happens, everything around the player darkens and begins to vibrate.

People are always asking charity benefit auctioneer David Sobon whether he does estate auctions. For years, his answer was no, but that's changed.
Sobon is kicking off his entry into the estate auction business Dec. 7 by helping Fringe proprietress Audrey Wells sell off a number of items she acquired upon the death of antiques dealer John Conaty. For many years, before moving his business to San Francisco, Conaty ran X-21 Modern at the spot on 21st and X streets where Wells' Fringe is now located.
Conaty sold notable pieces such as furniture designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Eames swivel chairs, but Sobon said this auction won't have much by these big names. Rather, he and Wells said, it is a tribute to Conaty's knack for identifying period furnishings that are desirable. Sobon isn't completely leaving his charity auction roots behind with this initial sale. He's arranged for local artist Raphael Delgado to hand-pick a dozen items from the collection that will be sold Dec. 6 at an auction preview party, and proceeds will go to the Sacramento Arts and Business Council.

Basmati and Thai jasmine have dominated the winners circle at the World's Best Rice competition for the past four years, but this year, Sacramento Valley growers took center stage at an industry convention in Hong Kong.
Gridley rice grower Matt Boeger was there to collect the award as Calrose, the medium-grain rice often used to make sushi, tied Cambodian fragrant rice for the title. California produces about 4 billion pounds of Calrose a year.
The industry's leading trade publication, Rice Trader, names a Lord of the Rice to judge the contest with the help of chefs from the host country. This year's Lord of the Rice was none other than Sacramento sushi chef Taro Arai, the owner of Mikuni. He told me that he inspected the grains and then cooked all 25 rices in the competition.

Q: How do I use popover segues with a universal storyboard on iOS 7? I'm in the process of moving from hard-coded layouts to the new universal storyboard system available in Xcode 6. It's great to be able to create one storyboard that, through the magic of auto-layout, will work on both the iPhone and the iPad. And my understanding is that universal storyboards are backwards-compatible with iOS 7.
However, I'm running into a problem using popover segues. On iOS 8, the new 'Present as Popover' segue will display as a popover on an iPad interface and as a modal view controller on an iPhone interface. This is exactly the behavior I want, but when I run my universal storyboard on iOS 7, the app crashes whenever I attempt a popover segue. Here's the error message I get:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:
'-[UIPopoverController initWithContentViewController:] called when not
running under UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad.'

This is a bit annoying, as I don't want to have to resort to separate storyboards for each UI idiom.
It looks like these are my choices:

*

*Create a subclass of UIStoryboardSegue that will show a popover on iPad and a modal view on iPhone. This requires manually changing the class of all popover segues in my app.

*Create two segues out of every bar button item, table cell, etc. - one that's a pure 'Popover' segue and one that's a pure 'Modal' segue. In this case, I'll be unable to just control-drag to the next screen and will have to create custom action methods that will invoke the right segue based on the current UI idiom.

*

*Abandon universal storyboards and create device-specific storyboards until I can require iOS 8 from my users.

None of these are great alternatives, so I was wondering: do I have any other options? Am I missing any problems with my proposed solutions?

A: Xcode 6 supports unified storyboards. A storyboard can add or remove views and layout constraints based on the size class that the view controller is displayed in. Rather than maintaining two separate (but similar) storyboards, you can make a single storyboard for multiple size classes.
But Size classes are based on UITraitCollection which is supported on iOS8. That's why it's crashing on iOS7.

A: I ended up making a modal segue and checking in code to see if it was on a iPhone with iOS 7. I then use performWithSegue to pick which segue should be taken. iOS 8 can handle the popover code but iOS 7 has issues.

A: Seems Like You are trying to present your view modally if device is iPhone and as Popover if the device is iPad..
To produce that the easiest way would be to check the InterfaceIdiom when the event occurs(like button click) and conditionally using appropriate approach.
-(IBAction)btnClicked:(id)sender{
    if([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom]==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad){
        //your popover code..
    }else{
        //your present modaly code...
    }
}

Re: The Beatles Appreciation Thread
Man, I love "Hey Bulldog" (who doesn't howl along with Paul to this song?)
I'm really not after Paul, though it may seem that way by the past few rounds. This has to be John's greatest creative period, and Paul was still doing lightweight stuff in comparison. Both of Paul's songs this round are really good, and I like them a lot, but... I have to save the two Lennon compositions because I just think they're awesome.
1) The Inner Light
2) Hello Goodbye
3) Lady Madonna
Great round. All great songs.

But not for long. Looking ahead at the songs that will be in the next few rounds, Paul is about to record a lot of his greatest material.
The Schofield Kid
All on account of pulling a trigger.
1- The Inner Light
2- Hello Goodbye
3- Lady Madonna
Another hard round,like Matt said all great songs.
Hearing the two versions of Across the Universe is interesting.I now prefer the Let It Be Naked album,to the original album.Anyone else?

You gotta be durable...real durable. Most ain't
Always loved Across The Universe... especialy the naked version. I even like the David Bowie version on Young Americans....
1 The Inner Light
2 Hello Goodbye
3 Lady Madonna... (I hope this is safe.. I really like this song)

choice is difficult today, I like all the songs ! So :
1. Lady Madonna
2. Hello Goodbye
3. The Inner Light

I love all these songs. You gotta love a rock song that takes some its lyrics from the Tao Te Ching as "The Inner Light" does. And "Hello Goodbye" might be fluff, at least lyrically, but it's mixture of pop and psychedelia is great. And "Across the Universe" just might be my favorite song by The Beatles. Okay, maybe I've said that before, but it's way, way up there. Only my favorite version is the one you'll find on Past Maters Volume Two. Quoting from the CD:
This one is commonly known as the "Wildlife" version because it first appeared on 12 December 1969 on a charity album for the World Wildlife Fund, and was adorned especially for that LP with wildlife sound effects. But it had been recorded much earlier, in eight takes on 4 and 8 February 1968, as a rival to "Lady Madonna" for the Beatles' March 1968 single. In March 1970 Phil Spector re-worked this original tape, omitted some of the original instrumentation in a new remix, omitted the sound effects, slowed it down and added an orchestra and a choir for Let It Be.
In other words he did everything he could to ruin one of the greatest songs John Lennon ever wrote. I can barely listen to the Let It Be version, knowing the damage he wrecked upon that song.Â
1 Lady Madonna
3 Hey Bulldog
(I surprise myself with these picks. )

I was thinking of linking to this version for this round too, but felt like we could have a round just for "Across the Universe" if I threw in all the versions of it. I love the version on the Anthology album too. So, here they are for anyone who's interested and doesn't have these versions:
Across The Universe - Wildlife Version
Across The Universe - Anthology

BTW I love that screencap
That ends Round 30. This time we lose "Hello Goodbye" and "The Inner Light".
BEATLES SONG SURVIVOR - ROUND THIRTY-ONE
This round, we'll hear the first songs recorded for The Beatles, commonly known as The White Album, released on November 22, 1968:
As before, vote off two of the following songs, and list an alternate third choice that will only be used as a tie-breaker if needed. The three surviving songs from this round will be brought back later in the game to compete with the other rounds' survivors.
1. "Revolution 1" (Lennon/McCartney); Lead vocal: Lennon, with McCartney and Harrison
2. "Revolution 9" (Lennon/McCartney); Lead vocal: N/A
3. "Don't Pass Me By" (Starkey); Lead vocal: Starr
4. "Blackbird" (Lennon/McCartney); Lead vocal: McCartney
5. "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey" (Lennon/McCartney); Lead vocal: Lennon
(When I end a round and start the next, I'll need to take the songs from the previous round down so that the next round's songs will fit on the website. Therefore the links in each round will still show up, but they won't work once that round has ended.)
You can join in the game anytime. You don't need to have been voting from the beginning to play.

1 Don't Pass Me By. Sorry Ringo
2 Everybod's Got Something To Hide Except Me & My Monkey
3 Blackbird
The White Album.. One of the greatest beatles albums. Gonna lose some great songs...
1 Don't Pass me By
2 Everybody's Got Something To Hide...etc
3 Revolution 9
Lucky Punk
1. Revolution 9
3. Everybody's Got Something To Hide
Over the years this has become my favourite Beatles album, variety and competitive edge to the writing carries the weaker tracks to make an impressive double album ( Led Zep's Physical Graffiti is another example of the double working when it really shouldn't ).
A nice wee joke in Men In Black when Tommy Lee Jones is showing Alien technology to Will Smith, he point out a tiny disc as a music carrier and mutters " I'll have to buy the white album again "
3. Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Ilike this one, but rules are..rules)
3 Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey
1- Revolution 9
2- Don't Pass Me By
3- Blackbird
I've had a few beers today so I may not be seeing the votes to clearly but it looks like there are votes for Revolution 9 to stay over Everybody's Got Something....
Surely this can't be,I must be drunk.
number 9,number 9,number 9,number 9,number 9.....

It's hard to exaggerate the influence that Marie Kondo has wrought with her blockbuster books The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy. The latter book takes its name, of course, from the question she urges us to ask ourselves, "Does this possession spark joy?"
The New York Times called her "perhaps the world's only decluttering celebrity." Absolutely!
Even I don't agree with everything that Marie Kondo prescribes (as I write about here), I'm a huge fan of her work. It's practical, thought-provoking, and often surprising. For most of us, outer order contributes to inner calm, and her "KonMari method" resonates with many, many people.
One thing I love is that alongside detailed instructions for how to fold a t-shirt, Marie Kondo makes observations like this: "Tidying is the act of confronting yourself; cleaning is the act of confronting nature." Profound.
In my books The Happiness Project and Happier at Home (can't resist mentioning--both bestsellers), I write a lot about the role of possessions in building a happy life. It's a fascinating area.
Marie: In terms of tidying, I'm definitely an Upholder. I stay tidy because I feel that the effects ground me and allow my home to spark joy for my family and me. However, I'm not sure if I qualify as an Upholder in other aspects, as I'll procrastinate submitting written work or sometimes show up late to get-togethers with friends or colleagues!
Marie: I usually go to bed early and wake up early with my kids, who are 18 and 5 months old. However, because I travel frequently for work, I'll sometimes get jet-lagged. This can disrupt my sleep pattern for a couple of days after! When this happens, I get a little anxious that I am getting behind on work or missing out on time spent with my daughters while I try to catch up on rest.
Gretchen: Have you ever been hit by a lightning bolt, where you changed a major habit very suddenly, as a consequence of reading a book, a conversation with a friend, a milestone birthday, a health scare, etc.?
Marie: When I was 15, I would continually tidy my room, only to have it become cluttered again shortly after. This cycle contributed to so much stress that one day, I fainted. This breaking point made me realize that I was approaching tidying the wrong way. Instead of focusing on discarding things and approaching tidying as the removal of negativity, I realized that I needed to focus on finding and keeping things that spark joy.
Gretchen: Do you embrace habits or resist them?
Marie: For daily life, I try to keep to routines, but for work, I prefer variety. For example, I get new ideas by traveling and exposing myself to other countries' cultures. I enjoy giving talks in a variety of locations, because it allows me to interact with different people and learn from their diverse perspectives.
Gretchen: Has another person ever had a big influence on your habits?
Marie: My grandmother taught me the importance of tidying up even those places you don't openly see, such as the insides of drawers and bureaus. She recognized the intrinsic beauty in belongings and took pride in their presentation in her home. When she dressed and accessorized, she applied the same philosophy to her personal appearance—everything mattered. I developed my initial respect for my belongings as a result of her influence.

Merkel and multi-culturalism seen from Notting Hill, London
We are all here to stay and we like it this way
Golborne Road, on the outskirts of Notting Hill in west London, is home to two Portuguese cafés, Stella McCartney, and my favourite burger van, run by two Moroccan men. I've been a regular for almost 10 years – the van offers no ordinary fare. A ball of meat goes splat on the griddle as it's evened into shape while onions sizzle.
Money and Arabic banter are exchanged – when the meat is crispy brown an egg is cracked open, stuffed alongside the patty into a heated bun with a sprinkle of chopped salad, fries and some warm, homemade, tomato sauce (fried prawns optional).
I am usually finishing off my second bowl of soup – they do a mean bean, lentil and pea – when the beaming parcel of beefy goodness is handed to me, smiling as a good burger should.
On Fridays Mohammed and Aziz repair to a mosque in the converted building opposite – customers find the van shut from around 12.30pm to 2pm. Caterers should hold these hours sacred but Mohammed and Aziz, as their prices testify, are not about money. The van's closes for Ramadan.
The punters are largely Moroccan men but you do see Bohemian non-Moroccan women and men of all ages stopping off for a bite, too.
In the background the magnificent Trellick Tower – a hive of different people and cultures living next-door to, and on top of, each other – literally looks down on the rest of us.
This week the German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that multiculturism has "failed" in Germany – a reference to the country's four million Muslims having apparently missed the mark in their efforts to "integrate" (note that it's not "us" who have failed "them").
Somewhat unbelievably she said that in the 1960s when Germany courted foreign workers, "we lied to ourselves for a while, saying that they won't stay and that they will have disappeared again one day."
She added: "We should not be a country either which gives the impression to the outside world that those who don't speak German immediately or who were not raised speaking German are not welcome here."
This softer tone, however, was no sop to liberals: "Companies will go elsewhere because they won't find the people to work here anymore" – this is why she believes "integration is one of our key tasks for the times to come."
Ms Merkel's remarks are as unhelpful as they are contradictory. Does she expect the skilled labour Germany still needs to "disappear" in time?
"Lurch to the right" is becoming a hackneyed expression as governments respond to people's fears during this recession and a German leader should know better.
Last week, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation – a think-tank with links to the centre-left Social Democratic Party – revealed that 13% of Germans would like to be ruled by a Führer. The Christian Science Monitor calls this "a German word for leader that is explicitly associated with Adolf Hitler – to run the country 'with a firm hand'."
The backdrop to all this is the German government's efforts to persuade the electorate that Greece – whose economy it has rescued with a multi-billion dollar bail-out – is part of "us" and worthy of "our" cash during a downturn, in the face of a xenophobic press.
So, what to do? Hit out at the least popular religious minority of course.
The fact is even if Germany is "overrun" by foreigners, multiculturalism cannot have failed "utterly" as Ms Merkel claims.
Earlier this year, the winner of TV talent quest Deutschland sucht den Superstar was an Iranian singer called Mehrdad Marashi. Last year, in Britain, a black dance act called, of all things, Diversity won Britain's Got Talent.
I would humbly advise Ms Merkel to go for a Turkish kebab in Berlin or visit the Moroccan burger van on Golborne Road or even talk to Stella McCartney.
As for does multiculturism work – ask yourself next time you have a curry.

Tehran Stops Sharing Evidence From Plane Crash With Kyiv After Leak
February 3, 2020 Social and Political
rferl.org – An Iranian official says his country will stop sharing with Kyiv evidence from the crash of a Ukrainian airliner shot down near Tehran last month after audio from the investigation showing the authorities were aware immediately that a missile may have downed the plane was leaked by Ukrainian media.
The semiofficial Mehr news agency quoted Hassan Rezaifar, the director in charge of accident investigations at Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, as saying on February 3 the move was linked to the audio leak from a day earlier.
"The technical investigation team of the Ukrainian airline crash, in a strange move, published the secret audio file of the communications of a pilot of a plane that was flying at the same time as the Ukrainian plane," Rezaifar said, according to Mehr.
"This action by the Ukrainians led to us not sharing any more evidence with them," he added.
A transcript of the recording, released over the weekend, contains a conversation in Persian between an air-traffic controller and a pilot who was reportedly flying a Fokker 100 jet for Iran's Aseman Airlines. In the conversation as the small plane flew from Iran's southern city of Shiraz to Tehran, the pilot insists he saw what he believed was a missile and then an explosion in the area where the plane went down.
The UIA Boeing 737-800 crashed several minutes after taking off from Tehran's primary international airport on January 8, killing all 176 people aboard.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged on February 2 that the recording, first aired by the Ukrainian television channel 1+1, was authentic.
Iranian authorities initially denied any responsibility for the accident, but three days after the tragedy the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) admitted the plane was shot down "unintentionally."
Zelenskiy said on February 3 that he had canceled a trip by Ukrainian investigators to Tehran to participate in the decoding of the plane's black boxes and called on Tehran to bring them to Kyiv.
