French beauty has given us many secrets, but one that keeps on giving is micellar water. But what, you ask, exactly is micellar water? "A micelle is a tiny ball made of mild surfactants, which sequester away oil and dirt when you wipe them across your skin," explains Dr. Michelle Henry, Clinical instructor of Dermatology at Cornell Weil Medical College. "They cleanse gently without stripping and leading to dryness and inflammation. Micellar water is full of tiny micelles and is used to cleanse the skin and hair."

Things are getting a little scary out there.
With the use of artificial intelligence to micro-target customers across multiple platforms at an all-time high, its no wonder that consumers are starting to feel a little creeped out. Add to that persistent reports of data misuse by major social platforms and virtual assistants going rogue with personal information and consumers don't need Halloween to be scared — they just need to log on.

 USA Today's story on days in the life of 15 teachers has ignited serious debate. But it's not about teacher shortage or hardships, because we know these problems exist.

Government mandates, assessment-based teaching, helicopter parenting, lack of resources and training all contribute to their plight.

Education Next
When students look back on their most important teachers, the social aspects of their education are often what they recall. Learning to set goals, take risks and responsibility, or simply believe in oneself are often fodder for fond thanks — alongside mastering pre-calculus, becoming a critical reader, or remembering the capital of Turkmenistan. It's a dynamic mix, one that captures the broad charge of a teacher: to teach students the skills they'll need to be productive adults. But what, exactly, are these skills? And how can we determine which teachers are most effective in building them?
