Get The Gloss
For an inevitable phenomenon, aging, or rather the outward signs of it, is seemingly one of the biggest thorns in our sides from a beauty point of view. We have a lot of bones to pick with aging, and anti-aging "trends" seem to come and go, be it reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fading age spots or smoothing out a crepey décolletage. In a move that proves contouring is the craze that will not die, "sculpting" has this year taken precedence in the skin care rather than makeup market, with an uplift (sorry) in launches that claim to reduce sagging and restore our youthful bounce. As solving ageing conundrums go, defying gravity, Wicked style, seems like a pretty lofty ambition, but is there method in the contouring madness? We put a few of our qualms to Dr. Justine Hextall, Consultant Dermatologist on behalf of The Harley Medical Group.

Many of us have a small pocket of fat in a spot we wish we didn't — that bulge around your bra, the pinch of skin next to your armpit, an extra chin, love handles (who actually loves these?) — and seemingly no amount of calories reduced or burned gets rid of it. "No one is immune to trouble spots," says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a dermatologist in New York City and the director of the Fifth Avenue Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center. "Despite my patient's work at the gym or smart dietary habits, they continue to struggle in certain areas."

 Leadership is difficult, and it should be. Thus, a leader is not made in a day, but undergoes a continuously evolving learning process. Often, one of the most important aspects to a leader's growth comes from others. "A leader's potential is determined by those closest to him. What makes a difference is the leader's inner circle," said John Maxwell, a leadership expert. I experienced this firsthand while working for the federal government.

The classroom is a non-stop hub of feedback: test grades, assignment scores, paper comments, peer review, individual conferences, nonverbal cues and more. Feedback is essential for student learning.
Still, students' ability to process and use feedback varies widely. We have some students who eagerly accept feedback or carefully apply rough draft comments, while many others dread or dismiss their professors' notes or reject exam grades as "unfair." Although feedback is integral to our classrooms and work spaces, we often forget to teach students how to manage it.
