☆ The sneaky, smart reasons malls have no windows
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-22 | by ( Parija Bhatnagar | Parija Kavilanz | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

The birth of the American mall ushered in an era of “windowless” shopping that’s largely still here. But the sneakiest reason why malls limit windows could be to make shoppers lose track of time. Windowless shopping creates an environment of consumption without distractions,” Flickinger said. The Southdale mall was functional and drab to look at and that is the blueprint that all traditional enclosed malls have continued to follow. Some of these adaptive uses of traditional malls might be creating a practical need for windows after all, she said.

☆ Help! Air Canada Ruined Our Trip to Ireland but Won’t Take the Blame.

Dear Tripped Up,Last September, my husband and I left our kids with their grandparents and set off to Ireland. Our $2,132 itinerary took us from Minneapolis to Toronto to Dublin on tickets booked on United Airlines through Expedia but ultimately operated by Air Canada, a United partner. Checkout time came and went without a word, so we went to the airport and were told to call Air Canada customer service. I skipped over Expedia, since your trip had already started, and reached out to United and Air Canada — as you flew on an airline’s partner, it’s a code share arrangement. Air Canada, on the other hand, took almost two weeks to get back to me, and its response was underwhelming.

Target is testing a 10-item limit at some self-checkout kiosks. AdvertisementShoppers who use some Target self-checkouts now have to limit themselves to 10 items or fewer. "In select stores we are testing self-checkout lanes of 10 items or fewer in order to reduce wait times and better understand guest preferences," Target told Business Insider. The retailer did not say how many stores are involved in the experiment, but CNN reports that the limit applies at select self-checkout kiosks "at a handful of stores." Do you have a story idea about Target or self-checkout to share?

Size: 2,022 square feetPrice per square foot: $309Indoors: A paved path leads from the street up to the stoop. The front door opens directly into a sunny living room with hardwood floors and street- and side-facing windows. The hardwood floors continue through a wide, arched doorway into a dining room with a built-in cabinet. This space is open to a kitchen with white cabinetry and new appliances. The family room, beyond, has direct access to the rear deck.

This week, The Wall Street Journal’s Mansion section is rolling out stories from our special food and wine issue, like this one on restaurateur Daniel Alonso’s Chicago home, which he uses a testing ground for his eating establishments. Minneapolis chef Gavin Kaysen operates high-end Twin Cities restaurants, spent seven years running a Michelin-star kitchen in New York and regularly hobnobs with the world’s top chefs. So you can imagine what his private kitchen is like at his five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in east Edina, a tony Minneapolis suburb.

☆ Gogoși electorale. Op-Ed de Victor Pelin

Gogoașa despre închiderea școlilorAceastă gogoașă are menirea să devieze atenția de la decizia strategică a Partidului Comuniștilor din Republica Moldova (PCRM), implementată de unul dintre actualii lideri ai Partidului Socialiștilor din Republica Moldova (PSRM) – Zinaida Greceanîi. Aici se ivește întrebarea – de la cine s-au inspirat liderii BECS? Oare nu de la partenerul strategic cărui doresc să-i închine Republica Moldova în cadrul Uniunii Economice Eurasiatice? Prețul plătit pentru acea fotografie a fost foarte mare – promisiunea federalizării Republicii Moldova pentru a dispersa în trei direcții centrul de adoptare a deciziilor și a o face Republica Moldova total dependentă de partenerul strategic . Această stare de fapt trebuie schimbată cât mai curând posibil, altminteri existând riscul ca Republica Moldova să rămână ostatecă gogoșilor propagandistice pentru mult timp înainte.
