RACKED
As a teen, the only thing I knew about spa facials was what I'd seen in "Legally Blonde." In the film, Elle and Emmett found the snobby Mrs. Windham Vandermark at a spa in a fancy, remote location, where she and other rich middle-aged women paid hundreds of dollars to lay wrapped like mummies, cucumbers over their eyes.

Yet, whatever level or scale of success an entrepreneur is looking for in business, most desire a life that's replete with abundance in one fashion or another.

We might be tempted to conflate low effort with laziness, but that misses an important physiological point.

For teachers, the carefully controlled conditions of education research can seem ridiculous when the reality of the classroom involves regular interruptions, absences and general chaos. Professor John Dunlosky is trying to bridge these two worlds, intentionally studying the effectiveness of strategies that lab studies indicate are promising, but that don't require special technology or extra resources.
