SOUTH ORANGE, NJ, June 05, 2013 (Press-News.org) "If future hair salon owners learned how to think like CEOs in high school, more would thrive instead of struggle with their businesses," said author and consultant Veronica Woods. Woods, CEO of My Salon Scoop Consulting, will raise money for the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) New York Metro and celebrate the launch of her new book, "The A-List Salon: Insider Secrets of How Profitable Salons Wow Their Clients Every Day," at a private book launch event on Monday, June 10, 2013 at Hair Rules Salon in New York City.
In her new book, The A-List Salon, Woods interviewed 16 salon owners recognized by organizations such as Salon Today Magazine, Intercoiffure, and Ernst and Young, including Nick Arrojo of Arrojo Studio and Philip Pelusi of Philip Pelusi Hair Salons. "Every salon owner, whether behind the chair or not, can profit from this book's insights, takeaways and exercises to get to the next level through careful planning and execution," said Julie Shepperly, beauty professional and Business Development Director for Milady.
As part of the book launch, Woods has pledged $1 per book sold from May 1 through June 10 to the NFTE New York Metro office. Training over 70,000 students in the business startup process, NFTE New York Metro will host its upcoming Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge business plan competition on Tuesday, June 11.

Electric Car Drivers Set to Benefit From More Charging Points
2013-06-05
The government has announced that it will give electric car drivers a 75% subsidy for the cost of installing charging point. This also applies to garages meaning they will only be expected to cover the remaining 25% of installation costs. (1)
A growing number of car manufacturers recognise that motorists want more fuel efficient and cost effective cars, which is why more and more, are developing electric and hybrid vehicles.
As a result, more electric charging points will be needed and the government is trying to encourage this by offering a subsidy.
There are ...

'Watering the forest for the trees' emerging as priority for forest management
2013-06-04
A new analysis led by the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station encourages resource managers to consider a broadened view of forests as consumers of water.
A shift in thinking toward reducing the risk of water stress to vegetation can help forests maintain their resilience and health in a changing climate, according to a paper published online in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
"Our work emphasizes how forests primarily need and consume water, and so managing forest health requires thinking about how much water is available ...
Enhancer RNAs alter gene expression
2013-06-04
In a pair of distinct but complementary papers, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues illuminate the functional importance of a relatively new class of RNA molecules. The work, published online this week in the journal Nature, suggests modulation of "enhancer-directed RNAs" or "eRNAs" could provide a new way to alter gene expression in living cells, perhaps affecting the development or pathology of many diseases.
Enhancers are sequences in the genome that act to boost or "enhance" the activity or expression of nearby ...
Common gene known to cause inherited autism now linked to specific behaviors
2013-06-04
The genetic malady known as Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited autism and intellectual disability. Brain scientists know the gene defect that causes the syndrome and understand the damage it does in misshaping the brain's synapses — the connections between neurons. But how this abnormal shaping of synapses translates into abnormal behavior is unclear.
Now, researchers at UCLA believe they know. Using a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), they recorded the activity of networks of neurons in a living mouse brain while the animal was awake and ...
Test to improve stem cell safety
2013-06-04
CSIRO scientists have developed a test to identify unsafe stem cells. It is the first safety test specifically for human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) – as published today in the international journal Stem Cells.
The breakthrough is a significant step in improving the quality of iPS cells and identifying unwanted cells that can form tumours. The test also determines how stable iPS cells are when grown in the lab.
Dr Andrew Laslett and his team have spent the last five years working on the project. The research has focused on comparing different types of iPS cells ...
Anatomy determines how lizards attract partners and repel rivals
2013-06-04
SYDNEY: Catching the attention of females in a darkened rainforest amid a blur of windblown vegetation is no easy task.
But male Anolis lizards on the island of Jamaica have evolved an ideal visual technique - very rapid extension and retraction of a large, coloured pouch under their throats, combined with quick bobbing of their heads to warn off any other rival suitors.
Now the mystery of why their close relatives on the neighbouring island of Puerto Rico do not adopt the same strategy to advertise their ownership of a territory has been solved.
The study, led by UNSW's ...
Fear: A justified response or faulty wiring?

The article as it appears in JoVE Behavior.
Click here for more information.
Fear is one of the most primal feelings known to man and beast. As we develop in society and learn, fear is hard coded into our neural circuitry through the amygdala, a small, almond-shaped nuclei of neurons within the medial temporal lobe of the brain. For psychologists and neurologists, the amygdala is a particularly interesting region of the brain because it plays a role in emotional learning ...
