...your flight. For those who would be Mexico-bound, however, most airlines are waiving change fees - but not always refunding money.

...difficulties and injustices plaguing the country’s underfunded urban school districts. Rural public education, however, poses its own unique set of challenges—and, at the risk of sounding trite, opportunities.

People generally prefer things they have seen before, which is something psychologists call the “mere exposure effect.” The frequency of contact consumers have with a product also plays a role. If Delta Air Lines announces a new design for its signs and logos, it’s not a huge deal because people only fly infrequently.
