The Federal Trade Commission recently announced their first ever enforcement action against a provider of intravenous therapy for making unsupported claims about the health benefits of their IV treatments. In brief, the FTC alleges that IV Bar's website contained multiple false, and unsubstantiated representations as to the clinical or scientific effectiveness of the treatments.

 It's not commonplace for clients to readily admit some of the horrible and unsafe things that they do to their skin. But when they do — or when you have a suspicion that they do — it's important to encourage clear and honest communication about it. After all, if we do not have a complete understanding of our spa and medical spa clients' habits and lifestyle choices, then we cannot recommend and perform safe treatments.

Customer Think
This morning, you likely did a bunch of things: woke up, had breakfast, maybe took care of children or pets, got dressed, made your way to work, and so forth. And for each of these activities — although technically you had endless options (will breakfast be cereal? Salad? Cake?) — chances are you didn’t run through each of them, weigh them carefully, and then make a choice. It was likely already a done deal. Automatic.

Researchers know memory retrieval is beneficial for learning, but their new meta-analysis found there are limits. The research shows the frequency and difficulty of questions can reverse the effect and be detrimental to learning.

Technology in education will likely increase in the future. More students are likely to participate in something similar to the Cowboy State Virtual Academy, an online school started earlier this year by Sheridan County School District 1.
The CSVA is relatively small, though, serving about a dozen students. Meanwhile, a full-time online school already exists in Wyoming. Wyoming Connections Academy is a public online school that serves students from across Wyoming in grades K-12 under the umbrella of Big Horn County School District 1.

The behavior of a cell depends on how its adhesion molecules interact with the cellular micro-environment. Hemidesmosomal collagen XVII essentially contributes to cell adhesion and modulates keratinocyte directionality and proliferation during skin regeneration, however only little is known about the involved interactions.
