New Zealand has moved to tackle high rates of mental illness amongst its prison population with a brand new facility outside Auckland. The detention centre for high- and maximum-security males is swinging the pendulum back from punishment towards rehabilitation. It places emphasis on time spent outdoors in meditation, yoga, and gardens that the inmates will tend. It?s modelled on prisons in Scandinavia, Belgium and Germany.

Style Board is Nordstrom?s latest curation service. It offers a team of online personal stylists who will handpick items?clothing, accessories, jewelry?based on a questionnaire that helps them better understand your personal style. Within less than a day, the stylist emails you a ?board? of curated designs, which will then wait for you in a dressing room. Should you want further expertise, a stylist will assist you in Nordstrom Local ?another Nordstrom initiative that offers services rather than inventory. https://www.fastcompany.com/90180401/exclusive-nordstom-expands-its-innovative-inventory-free-service-hubs?
