Malls are facing an existential crisis.

That's nothing new. Large retail shopping complexes have been dying for decades, to the point that there are books of photographs taken in abandoned malls.

The owners of the York Galleria in Springettsbury Township are trying to keep their property from joining that list, with interesting results.

Since 2015, the mall has seen three of its four anchor stores,JCPenney, Sears and finally The Bon-Ton, close. Boscov's remains, and the former Penney site is now home to Gold's Gym and Marshall's. The other anchors sit empty, as do many shop fronts.

More: Penn National chooses York Galleria Mall for first mini-casino

Owners CBL & Associates have plans for the spaces. A mini-casino is slated to go into the former Sears site at the west end of the building, which required some wrangling, including getting Springettsbury Township to backtrack on an ordinance saying the municipality didn't want to even be considered for the Penn National casino.

And now CBL is taking another step away from the Galleria's retail roots by bringing a mini-storage unit to the former Bon-Ton site.

After much discussion and hand-wringing, and against the wishes of the York County Planning Commission, the township board of supervisors last week voted3-2 toapprovea zoning change to allow the storage area use.

"I think when we look to the future of the mall, the best we can do at this point in this era of retail transformation is stabilize the occupancy and activity in the mall," said Charles Wurster, a supervisorwho voted in favor of changing the ordinance.

The Galleria isincluded in a "town center" overlay on the township's zoning map, a designation intended to develop a walkable retail area. A town center overlay specifically prohibitedmini-storage until now.

Alex Snyder, the attorney representing storage unit companyW.P. Carey, said the retail market doesn't support "big box"stores anymoreand that the next logical step to maintaining the mall would be mini-storage.

"We think this is a way to take a building where there's nothing wrong with it, and put a use in that there really is a need for in the township," Snyder said. "From the outside, no one will know any different other than the building will be fixed up and repaired."

Though one supervisorsuggested turning the space intooffice units,the idea was dismissed by Blaze Cambruzzi, a True Commercial Real Estate managing partner, who said theadjacent casino coming to the mall squandered any chance ofprofessional use.

So it boils down to this: This mall, like so many others, is on the verge of becoming obsolete as a purely retail space. The property owners, like so many others, are reaching out to other industries to fill these spaces that were once lively centers for communities and have become empty shells.

Is it pretty? No. Could there be a better use for the space? Maybe, but what would that be?

The York Galleria could follow the path of the former West Manchester Mall, which was turned inside out in a massive construction project in 2014-15 and now seems to be doing well as the West Manchester TownCenter, anchored by Walmart, Regal Cinemas and Kohl's and featuring a number of pad site restaurants as well as other stores.

But that renovation cost $49 million, and the Galleria is only assessed at $39 million, according to tax records.

The township is allowing the owners to turn the mall into more of a mixed use space, with stores giving way to gyms, casinos and now a storage unit space.

Which makes us think, despite the food court and the remaining retail, at what point will the York Galleria no longer be a mall?

Discover this home that merges the indoors with the outdoors

Framed by lush landscapes and sunlit vistas, this 2-BHK Kochi apartment is a glorious gateway to the outdoors. The design was influenced by the lifestyle of its occupantsa young musician coupleand the sweeping panoramas on the eastern side. The clients wanted the space to sport a dark, subdued palette, with a dominance of grey and monochrome hues. In order to diffuse the darkness, we opened the home up to the east. Thus, we were able to bring in plenty of sunshine and synthesise a chemistry between light and shadow. The balcony is the same size as the interior, a testament to the equal inward- and outward-looking nature of the home, says Avinash Joshy of Studio Nirvana.

The clients sought permission from the society to absorb part of the passage into the home. We knocked down the original entrance and carved out an extended foyer to expand the homes footprint, says Joshy. The foyer is highlighted by a minimalist shelf, pops of verdure and a modish, art-gallery-esque painting. The material schemedominated by wood and egg shell whiteserves as an overture to the rest of the home, adds Joshy.

The living room is an oasis of tactile surfaces, willowy greens and soft slants of sunlight. A casual daybed, meant to accommodate the occasional extra guest, lends to the rooms breezy appeal. A custom floor lamp accents the wood-panelled wall to the right, conjuring a halo of golden light over the muted decor. We took several measures to maximise the light in the roomwe enlarged the window openings, rearranged the layouts, kept the decor to a bare minimum and custom-designed form-fitting furniture, says Joshy.

The open kitchen, designed in a linear layout, sports a striking palette of wood and black. A rugged, cement-textured backdrop cures the matte-finish facades with a dose of unfussy charm, while a window on the far endenlarged for functionalitywelcomes an abundance of natural light.

Situated between the kitchen and living room, the dining nook serves as a whimsical partition between the common and private sections of the home. Olive green chairs and a blow glass-style pendant light comfortably anchor the zone, providing an arresting offset to the Stygian granite tabletop.

The master bedroom is outfitted in deep-toned timber and broad strokes of sable. The black walls are enlivened by the plentiful daylight that pours in through the large windows. We maximised the windows and added a platform bed in a bid to minimise the dead space, notes Joshy.

The balcony, accentuated by statement planter boxes, hanging pots and subtle lighting, is the hero of the home. The fact that the balcony is as big as the rest of the apartment reflects the clients love for the outdoors. It provides the perfect setting to enjoy the surrounding sceneryespecially during the monsoonswith a steaming cup of tea in hand, says Joshy.

A: Some gardening projects are fun to try simply to see if you can succeed. The reward for coaxing a poinsettia to rebloom is in the fun process; its not about getting flowers on the cheap.

I asked Stacie to share what she did with her poinsettia during the past year, and she replied, My daughter gave us the poinsettia for Christmas a year ago. We enjoyed it throughout the holiday season and for the next few months. Before I knew it, I had kept the poinsettia growing for six months. I simply watered it when I remembered.

We moved this past August, and I couldn't believe I was bringing a poinsettia with me to our new house. The plant looked healthy and I fertilized it. I remembered you writing an article on poinsettias so I looked it up. The poinsettia hasnt been transplanted, but it's on my to-do list. It didnt bloom in time for Christmas, but started after the first week of January. The plant receives southeast sunlight in our new home.

Congratulations, Stacie! To coax a poinsettia to bloom in time for Christmas, you might try providing it with total darkness each night, blocking out even indoor lighting for 15 hours per night, from about 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. beginning Oct. 1.

Q: What do you suggest for do-it-yourself lawn fertilizing? Spring, summer and fall applications? Ray Frohlich.

A: Lawn fertilizing recommendations have changed through the years, as university research showed that early spring fertilization during April and early May force feeds grass plants, producing early flushes of leaf growth at the expense of healthy root growth. A deep, healthy root system is better able to utilize soil moisture and nutrients, keeping the lawn in top shape throughout the entire growing season.

Research further revealed that lawngrass is especially able to maximize fertilizer benefits when its applied in fall, with Labor Day being an easy-to-remember time. Fall fertilizer encourages deep, prolific root growth that helps sustain a healthy turf throughout the following year. A secondary application of fertilizer is beneficial around Memorial Day in May. Two applications of fertilizer per year, applied at these optimum times, provide turfgrass with all the nutrition needed for healthy growth.

As a side note, allowing clippings to filter down into the turf, rather than bagging and removing, provides the nutritional equivalent of one fertilizing per year, as the clippings decompose and release their nutrients into the soil.

Q: Ive read the discussion on carrots, and Ive been growing a Burpee variety called Short and Sweet for several years. Theyre a medium-length and very tasty. They can grow to be very large, but never get woody in the center. I harvest the main crop just before ground freeze-up to maximize sweetness. I dont clean off all the dirt, and store in peat moss at 32 degrees almost until spring. C. Eidbo.

A: Thanks for joining the conversation about carrot varieties. Carrots usually store better unwashed, as youve found, which preserves some of the natural wax that aids storage life. Ill add Short and Sweet to my new list of carrot cultivars to try.

If you have a gardening or lawn care question, email Don Kinzler, NDSU Extension-Cass County, at kinzlerd@casscountynd.gov or call 701-241-5707. Questions with broad appeal may be published, so please include your name, city and state for appropriate advice.

Dimmable LED Driver Market Segmented by Product, Top Manufacturers, Geography Trends & Forecasts to 2026 - 3rd Watch News

With stress, anxiety and depression causing 12.8 million lost working days in the UK last year, and 6.9 million working days lost because of musculoskeletal disorders, there is increasing awareness of the impact of office life on our health.

The Work Colleague Of The Future report issued last autumn was accompanied by a life-sized model showing what office workers might look like in 20 years. Named Emma, the figure had a permanently hunched back, varicose veins, eczema, sallow skin, red eyes and a protruding stomach.

While perhaps an exaggerated portrayal of the possible future of humanity, the widely publicised images of the haunting doll are a wake-up call both to employers and office workers on the long-term effects of sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, and failing to manage stress and find a healthy work-life balance.

A holistic approach to wellbeing is vital to ensure we remain happy, healthy and productive. Although a supportive corporate culture is the most important aspect of wellbeing a bullying boss is top of the list for causes of ill health in the workplace according to a plethora of studies good office design, backed up by a carefully curated selection of amenities, can boost health and happiness in the workplace.

And with growing competition to attract talent, firms are increasingly focusing on improving their working environment. One survey found 93% of tech workers said they would stay longer with a company offering options such as wellness rooms for yoga-meditation and healthy eating options than with those that dont.

The World Green Building Council has devised seven categories to use in promoting workplace wellness: Air improving air quality; Water maintaining hydration; Nourishment providing healthy eating options; Light boosting natural light and improving artificial light; Fitness encouraging physical activity; Comfort using ergonomically designed furniture and layouts, and Mind improving mental health.

Poor air quality, whether from poor ventilation leading to higher carbon dioxide levels, high concentrations of indoor pollutants or too high or low temperatures and humidity, has a major impact on productivity. In some locations, outside pollution can be an issue requiring filtered air. However, where this is not an issue, the simplest solution could be just opening windows or encouraging workers to have meetings or take their laptops outside.

The Future Works, a new office building in Slough, for example, has a Wi-Fi-connected roof terrace with tables and benches designed for working outdoors, as well as space for socialising and wellness activities such as yoga sessions.

Providing easy access to chilled water and promoting healthy food, such as nuts and fruit rather than sweets, can also encourage staff to make better choices.

Correct lighting has a positive impact on eyesight and mental health. Researchers found being within 10ft of a window decreases eyestrain by 84%. An experiment with 124 employees conducted by international real estate advisor, CBRE, and the University of Twente, VU Amsterdam, revealed artificial lighting attuned to our circadian rhythms boosted task performance by 18%. Morning lighting used warmer colour tones and brighter afternoon lighting mimicked light changes during the day.

Encouraging movement and physical activity is also important, with sedentary lifestyles blamed for growing instances of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Well-located and attractive staircases, secure cycle storage and showers to encourage active commutes, and on-site gyms and yoga studios can all make staying active easier for office workers. Setting up lunchtime walking or running groups and giving staff the option of flexible working hours or taking a longer lunch break once a week can also make it easier to catch gym classes or do other exercises during the working day.

Breakout zones, standing desks, ergonomically designed furniture and correct set up of computers and chairs can all help avoid staff being sat in one place for too long, minimising health problems such as back pain.

There is a strong correlation between physical and mental health and wellbeing. Yoga and other exercise have been shown to reduce stress and increase productivity. CBRE reported that staff in Sweden pioneering a regime of taking yoga, weekly massages and controlled naps improved their performance by 30%.

Everything from ceiling heights, colour, layouts and even access to nature has an impact on mental wellbeing. Dr Oshin Vatania, of the University of Toronto-Scarborough, discovered people feel mentally stimulated by rooms with high ceilings.

Translated to offices, the trend is increasing headroom by removing suspended ceilings, leaving ventilation and other service pipework and cabling open. Biophilic interior design, bringing nature indoors, has also been shown to boost mood, with bringing plants into working areas improving task performance by 10%.

With people spending on average a third of their life at work, both employers and employees are waking up to the importance of a high-quality working environment that prioritises staff wellbeing. With consideration of design and amenities, and the adoption of technology to enable us to work effectively from almost anywhere, the workplace of the future can be a dynamic, attractive place that contributes to our wellness, health and happiness.

Located smack in the heart of the Bukit Bintang Shopping District, Wolo Kuala Lumpur delights with its minimalist decor and art installations, writes Zalina Mohd Som

THE area is not foreign to me. I know the ever-busy Bukit Bintang intersection like the back of my hand. Theres the iconic McDonalds Bukit Bintang the first Mekdi outlet in Malaysia located just across another icon, the hard-to-miss green building thats Lot 10 Mall.

Then theres Bangunan Yayasan Selangor, where I spent four months working as a canteen helper while waiting for my SPM results.

Over the years, Bukit Bintang Shopping District, as its commercially known now, has always been one of my favourite hangouts for shopping or just to lepak.

Wolo Kuala Lumpur stands tall next to Gate E of Bukit Bintang MRT Station

But I cannot mentally place Wolo Kuala Lumpur among those familiar landmarks of Bukit Bintang.

Just to let you know that since Wolo targets travellers, there is no car park. Its entrance is right next to the Bukit Bintang MRT entrance, goes a Whatsapp message.

It only confuses me more as Im not familiar with the MRT stations in the area.

Thankfully, another message pops up: If you are taking the MRT, take Gate E of the Bukit Bintang MRT. You will come out right next to Wolo.

I religiously follow this instruction.

NEW OLD BUILDING

A turn after I come out of Gate E and there it is Wolo Kuala Lumpur, standing majestically at the corner of Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection.

The red-brick building looks like the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building but minus the signature keyhole arches. Its main tall doors face the corner while a side door fronts the busy Ain Arabia, more commonly known as the Arab Street of KL.

Ah, no wonder my memory cannot register this building. It was not there when I frequented the area in my younger days.

It used to be an office building but was given a facelift that fits the concept of Wolo. Almost every design in this hotel has its own meaning and theyre not just art, Im told.

The lobby of Wolo Kuala Lumpur is kept simple but stylish

Inspired by the capitals rich history and culture, centrepieces and art installations in the boutique hotel are created to mimic the citys landscape, vibrant life and colourful cultures.

Take the lobby, for instance. At a glance, theres nothing much, only two counters and two long benches.

The emptiness is fortified by the generous flood of bright light, thanks to the high three-centred arch windows and the high ceiling.

But after a while, youll appreciate the bare lobby as only then will you pay attention to the art beauties that lie within.

The long bench youre sitting on is an art piece titled Where Land and Rivers Meet which translates into muddy confluence.

In front of you, the two counters where guests do their check-in and out are actually art pieces designed by Royal Selangor, the countrys finest pewtersmith. They represent the metal bora used for extracting precious minerals that the city was rich in.

Look up to the high ceiling and youll see a huge hanging art installation. Designed by Jon Reading, the downside up ceiling pendant is a fun reimagining of the Golden Triangles topography down or up, up or down.

My favourite is the one decorating a wall at the dim lift lobby. With one bright light shining directly at it, every detail of the artwork by Anniketyni Madian shines through.

SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Room with a view. To have the legendary Lot 10 Mall watching over you while you sleep is quite surreal

Bedtime for me is usually 10pm but I know it will be hard to fall asleep. Not that theres anything wrong with the room. In fact, my Copper room is perfect and dreamy. Its just that there are too many things happening outside (read: food, shopping and even a late-night movie) that I dont mind sacrificing my sleep.

My room is dim but the hotel must have picked dim lighting as its concept. Except for some dashes of rich copper and bright colours, the room follows a black theme.

But Im not complaining. I love the room its chic and modern and it has everything that I need for the one-night stay. Anyway, who needs bright indoor lighting when there are flickering lights from Lot 10 and the traffic outside.

EAT There are three F&B outlets within the property WOLO Graph, Mr Chew's Chino Latino Bar and restaurant and Starbucks Reserve at Bukit Bintang Junction. However, WOLO Graph is the only one that is owned and run by the hotel. This is where the buffet breakfast is served for the staying-in guests.

DO For tourists, theres nothing much to do in the hotel. The hotel only has WOLO Graph event space which can be turned up into pop-up cooking island and meeting rooms.

GO Out, of course! The hotel sits in the heart of Bukit Bintang Shopping district. If the area is still not enough to quench the exploring thirst, Bukit Bintang MRT station is right next to the hotel.

This sleek, minimal and ultra-modern home is located in the eclusive, gated community of Vista Alegre, close to Es Cubells and ideally located for the beautiful beaches of south west Ibiza.

Large glassed surfaces allow light to flood in and shine on the polished surfaces throughout. Warm harwoods and fresh lawns surround the property and the lucky owner of Vista Alegre VIP will enjoy the luxury of both indoor and outdoor swimming pools!

A daily housekeeping service is avaialble for four hours.

Essentially two separate houses with bags of floor space, Estrella Roja is built on a very private three-hectare plot, with beautiful verdant gardens.

The main house is traditional finca farmhouse, modernised to the highest standard. The second building, housing an incredible master suite, is a slightly hallucinogenic, Gaudi inspired, version of a finca whose unique shapes and surfaces are mind-blowing.

Enjoying stunning views, close proximity to the best beach clubs and even a private club with DJ booth, sound system and disco lighting, Estrella Roja is the perfect adult playground. With two staff on hand to tidy up behind of course.

Cool-as-ice, Villa Ofelia is the product of award-winning architect Jano Blanco and interior designer Jose Antonio Flores who have created a modernist dream.

With lots of space, all built on one level, and set into a huge hillside plot, the house is surrounded on three sides by pine forest, giving a feeling of blissful isolation. After a few lengths in the 20 metre infinity pool, it's even possible to take a leisurely stroll into the local village of San Jos.

Four hour daily cleaning service, a night security guard and breakfast preparation service all come included in the rental price.

An impressive cliff-top, mansion of epic proportions, Can Icarus has a unique curved design, reminiscent of a Roman amphitheatre, giving front row seats to the greatest show on the island the spectacular sunsets.

With six beautifully appointed bedroom suites, the house fits in harmoniously with its privileged location overlooking the pretty cove of Cala Moli and even boasts a winding staircase which leads down to a private access to the sea!

A five-hour cleaning service is provided from Monday to Saturday.
