Limak

GLOBAL ENGINEER GIRLS ACHIEVES MILESTONE IN KOSOVO TOWARDS GENDER EQUALITY IN STEM Prishtine, October 18, 2023 - Global Engineer Girls (GEG), the international philanthropic initiative aiming to improve women’s representation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), proudly announces the graduation of 20 young women from its flagship program in Kosovo. Implemented by Limak Group in partnership with the UNDP in Kosovo, GEG Kosovo empowers young women and girls enrolled in STEM education and provides them with opportunities to gain crucial experience in a male-dominated industry. The project aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers, and highlight the strides made towards gender equality in STEM education. The graduation ceremony marked the successful completion of a year-long journey of scholarships, training, mentorship, and internships, all provided by GEG Kosovo. The ceremony also highlighted the projects undertaken by the girls during their participation in the program, including digital communication, effective team management, personal brand-building, communication, and interpersonal skills. These projects serve as compelling evidence that extending opportunities to girls is a vital way to prepare them for successful futures in the STEM world. President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, in her speech, mentioned, "We must ensure that all our bright minds have equal opportunities to pursue the education of their choice. We need these equal minds in order to address the critical issues of our time, such as climate change and AI. We cannot afford to exclude half of our population from the most pressing challenges of our era. It is imperative to collaborate and work together to achieve equality more swiftly. These young girls serve as clear examples of the potential within our youth. It is our duty to ensure that young women and girls feel empowered to pursue their dreams, regardless of the path they choose. They must harbour no fear or hesitation in stating, 'I want it, and I will make it.' Every girl holds a guaranteed place in our future. I encourage each girl to carry forward the legacy of GEG.” Chair of Limak Holding and Limak Foundation, Ebru Özdemir, said: “It's truly an important milestone for GEG and our vision at Limak. I’m thrilled to see the progress of the GEG Kosovo participants over the past year, and I am certain they all have a bright future ahead of them. Engineering isn’t a man’s world anymore, so it is our responsibility to continue to create opportunities for young women to succeed in STEM by supporting them in their studies and careers.” GEG Kosovo extends its gratitude to its supporters, mentors, parents, and volunteers, who have enabled the success of this program. Their collective efforts have empowered young girls to overcome challenges, build confidence, and unlock their full potential. Moving forward, GEG Kosovo remains committed to expanding and enhancing its programs to reach even more young girls, empowering them to break down barriers and become leaders in STEM fields. About Global Engineer Girls Global Engineer Girls (GEG) is an international philanthropic initiative that aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers. The inception of GEG was driven by Limak Group of Companies' culture and its Chairperson's, Ebru Özdemir's, deep personal commitment to improving women's representation in STEM. GEG provides girls and women with education, mentorship and career opportunities in Turkey, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Kuwait and beyond. GEG's predecessor, the Engineer Girls of Turkey (EGT), was launched in Turkey in 2015. Since its inception in 2015, the GEG university programme has benefited 710 young women by providing support for female students enrolled in chemical, civil, computer, electrical- electronic, environmental, industrial, and mechanical engineering departments in Turkish universities. This support has included funded scholarships and mentoring by hundreds of professional volunteers, as well as online training programs, soft skills and English language courses, internships, and employment opportunities at Limak's companies and partner companies.

How the Worker Shortage in Healthcare Could Impact Your Health

YourUpdateTV

A recent Harris Poll found that 68% of Americans are worried that the worker shortage in healthcare could have an impact on their own health. Recently, spokespeople from the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), participated in nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the impact of the worker shortage in healthcare and how physician associates, or PAs, can help increase access to care. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/4XRJDYFt3R0 Healthcare workforce shortages are having a profound impact on patient access to care, with patients reporting feeling frustrated and anxious about their ability to get the care they need when they need it. The recent Harris Poll survey found that nearly three-fourths of all U.S. adults say the healthcare system isn’t meeting their needs, and more than 1 in 4 gave the healthcare system a failing grade. One of the most concerning ways provider shortages are impacting patients is the amount of time it is taking to get a needed health appointment. Patients are waiting an average of 3.9 weeks for a medical appointment. As one of the fastest growing medical professions in the country, PAs can make a positive and lasting impact on patient care. An overwhelming 91% of U.S. adults believe that PAs are part of the solution to addressing the shortage of healthcare providers and additionally, 90% of patients say that PAs increase access to care and make medical appointments easier to obtain. One significant issue is that PA practice laws vary by state across the country. The challenge here is that in far too many states, these laws haven't been updated to reflect the way medical care is delivered today. A resounding 91% of U.S. adults support updating PA practice laws and the mandate is clear: The public wants the healthcare system to be as efficient and accessible as possible and updating these laws is a win-win for patients and the entire healthcare system. For more information, please visit aapa.org/patientexperience. About the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) AAPA is the national membership organization for all physician associates/physician assistants (PAs). PAs are licensed clinicians who practice medicine in every specialty and setting. Trusted, rigorously educated and trained healthcare professionals, PAs are dedicated to expanding access to care and transforming health and wellness through patient-centered, team-based medical practice. PA has been named one of the best jobs overall and one of the best healthcare jobs for the sixth year in a row by U.S. News & World Report The PA profession ranked number three this year in Best STEM jobs.

Feal Suspension Race Team Captivates Formula DRIFT Fans: Bakchis Takes Second Overall in 2023 Season

Feal Suspension

Formula DRIFT veteran Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis continued to impress hundreds of thousands of fans and fellow competitors at the Formula DRIFT season finale at Irwindale Speedway on October 13-14. With multiple podiums, Bakchis entered the final round of the 2023 FD season positioned fifth overall in the championship. During the event, he worked his Feal Suspension / GT Radial Nissan S15 up the steeply banked track and into second place both at the event and in the overall championship standings in front of a sold-out crowd. While Bakchis’ driving earned the respect of the judges and put him on the podium, his car build also earned the respect of the fans, who voted Bakchis’ Feal Suspension / GT Radial Nissan S15 as the 2023 “Fan Favorite Car.” As runner up in the entire Formula DRIFT PRO championship, Bakchis placed an exclamation point over an impressive showing all season by the entire Feal Suspension Race Team. Bakchis himself is owner and operator of the Feal Suspension Race Team, which took on two new drivers this season. Hailing from Norway, Simen Olsen joined Bakchis in the PRO championship driving the Feal Suspension Nissan S14.9. Olsen finished the season fourth overall, having earned three podium finishes throughout the season and the title of “Most Improved Driver” following his 2022 performance. Bakchis also brought on Ben Hobson to drive the Pedal Commander / Feal Suspension Nissan S14 in the PROSPEC championship. Hobson won two of the four rounds, qualified first in three rounds, and earned the title of 2023 PROSPEC Champion with the biggest points lead in the championship’s history. Overall, the team brought home six PRO podium finishes, including one event win by Bakchis in St Louis, as well as three PROSPEC podiums including two wins. The team finished second and fourth overall in the Formula DRIFT PRO standings and took first in the PROSPEC championship. The Feal Suspension Race Team is the only team with all team members finishing in the Top 5 for the 2023 season. Previously, Bakchis had finished third overall in the Formula DRIFT championship in 2017, 2019 and 2021, so his second place finish was a personal best as he concluded his 13th season of Formula DRIFT competition. With ten event wins under his belt and more than 20 career podium finishes, Bakchis continues to be a championship contender in a sport that is continuing to push the boundaries of precision driving and vehicle engineering. Bakchis' Feal Suspension Race Team is proving they are one to be watched in future Formula DRIFT seasons.

Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan introduces hormone-free Moisturising Cream and Moisturising Cremolum, clinically proven to soothe vaginal dryness

Dr. Wolff

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 18 October 2023 - Many woman experiencing menopause are troubled by vaginal dryness. It can cause discomfort when sitting, standing, exercising, during urinating and even working, and can greatly impact their quality of life. In Hong Kong, every 2 out of 3 women has experienced symptoms of Vaginal Dryness 1. Yet, it remains a taboo topic, making it difficult for women to discuss their intimate health concerns with family, friends, or doctors, resulting in only one-quarter of affected woman seeking treatment 2. Vaginal secretions gradually decrease as a woman ages, resulting in decreased lubrication and elasticity of the vaginal tissue. This can result in vaginal dryness and associated symptoms such as dryness, itching, burning, and pain 3. Given that these symptoms closely resemble those associated with other vaginal flora issues, many women have been perplexed and resorted to over-the-counter remedies, which may exacerbate the situation 2. Symptoms of vaginal dryness can also be mistaken for poor hygiene. In fact, excessive cleansing of the intimate area with conventional soaps and vaginal douching, may risk irritating the vaginal skin and disrupt the vaginal flora, leading to worsening of the condition. Soothing Vaginal Dryness with the right products Dr Dawn Harper, a general practitioner in United Kingdom known for her expertise on menopause, emphasises on the importance for women suffering from vaginal dryness to use a moisturising cream with high water content and lipids which can provide lasting soothing relief for women experiencing Vaginal Dryness. Introducing Hormone-Free Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cream and Moisturising Cremolum Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cream Effectively relieves dryness, itching, burning and pain associated with vaginal dryness Contains high water content and soothing lipids, keeps skin of intimate area soft and supple Contains lactic acid and is thus adjusted to the healthy pH level in the vagina Hormone-free and can be applied intravaginally and to the external genital area Clinically proven to relieve symptoms of vaginal dryness Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cream can not only moisturises the internal and external skin of the vagina, but also supplies it with nourishing lipids, leaving the skin of the intimate area supple and soft. Several clinical studies have been performed with Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cream, proving its efficacy and tolerability. Not only did the cream show superior efficacy as well as tolerability as compared to a water-based non-hormonal gel 4, but it was statistically significantly non-inferior to a hormone-containing cream (estriol 0.1%) in terms of improvement on subjective symptoms of vaginal dryness 5. Also available as an innovative pessary for greater convenience without the use of an applicator: Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cremolum Smooth melting pessary, forms into a cream in the vagina together with vaginal fluids Individually wrapped for more hygiene and convenience Hormone-free and can be applied intravaginally Free from preservatives A Dr.Wolff’s clinical study 6 also found that the Dr. Wolff’s Vagisan Moisturising Cremolum provided a long-lasting soothing effect that lasted 3 days or longer for majority of participants. It significantly improves the symptoms of dryness, itching, burning, and pain associated with vaginal dryness and provides relief from first application, allowing these women to achieve a better quality of life. Furthermore, 90% of test participants rated the moisturising cremolum as very easy or simple to use.

The Good Patch Launches New Category: Wellness-Inspired Skincare Patches

The Good Patch

The Good Patch announced today the launch of a new category: wellness-inspired skincare patches, developed to pair perfectly with their existing line of wellness patches. This new line of skincare patches includes products to help you perk up, bounce back, smooth fine lines caused by stress, and soothe blemishes. The Good Patch was created with one simple idea in mind: when the people around you feel good, life is more beautiful. The Good Patch believes that feeling good is at the core of universal wellness, and it’s their goal to bring ease and convenience to your wellness (and now beauty) routine for a holistic self-care experience. Similar to their wellness patches, this new skincare patch line will provide simple fixes that enhance everyday wellness and beauty to help consumers look and feel their best. Because let’s face it, how we feel on the inside often shows on the outside. “As the leader in wellness patches, our consumers know and trust us for providing easy solutions for their daily struggles. We are thrilled to now offer our consumers a more complete solution to address these universal wellness needs,” said The Good Patch CEO, Cedar Carter. “Our core line of wearable wellness patches helps you feel your best. Now, with the launch of skincare patches, you can look like your best self, too --- no matter what might be keeping you up at night.” Each patch is formulated to deliver results in just one use, backed by a consumer use study conducted by Essex Testing Clinic in Verona, NJ. According to research The Good Patch commissioned earlier this year, 74% of skincare patch users are dissatisfied with the current offerings on the market. The brand aims to change that with their new line. The skincare patches are intended to be used alongside some of the brand’s fan favorite wellness patches for a holistic experience. The Brighten Up Hydrogel Eye Patches, which reduce the appearance of dark circles, pair with the brand’s #1 seller, B12 Awake, a caffeine patch to give your day a boost. The De-Puff Hydrogel Under Eye Patches, which calm puffy under eyes, pair with Rescue, a patch to bounce back after a night out. The Un-Wrinkle Microdart Patches, which reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by stress, pair with Relax. The Clear Up Blemish Microdart Patches pair with Cycle, a patch for that time of the month. The skincare patches are available on the brand’s website, thegoodpatch.com, today and will be on Amazon later in November. “The line between beauty and wellness continues to blur as consumers take an increasingly more holistic approach to their beauty routines. They understand that common wellness challenges like lack of sleep and stress not only take a toll on how they feel on the inside, but also how their skin looks on the outside. We wanted to create a product offering that really addressed that”, said Jessica Talpos, Director of Marketing & Product Development at The Good Patch. For more information, please visit TheGoodPatch.com or @TheGoodPatch on social media platforms. About The Good Patch: The Good Patch, which first emerged on the market in 2018, was founded by longtime friends Betsy Scanlan, Kelly Brock, and David Nicholson. David and Kelly, owners of award-winning spas, and Betsy, an accomplished advocate in the hemp industry, all met for coffee one morning to talk beauty, wellness, and the power of plant-based ingredients. Combining each of their past expertise in the wellness industry, The Good Patch was born. Today, the brand is pioneering new approach to personal care at the intersection of beauty and wellness. The brand’s wearable patches address a variety of common daily struggles, such as B12 Awake (for the afternoon slump), Dream (for getting your beauty sleep), and Relax (for unwinding and decompressing), among other plant-powered varieties. They use tried-and-true ingredients that are 3rd party quality tested. Simply peel, stick, and remove when you are done. Since 2018, The Good Patch has been steadily growing. From its humble roots selling in spas and independent retailers, the wearable wellness patch company has grown to be sold in over 12,000 retail locations. The brand currently has 16 patches on the market, with more on the way. ### For press inquiries, please contact Elyse Koenig: Beauty & Wellness Consulting: Nathalie Kourie nathalie@elysekoenig.com 858.342.7769 Contact Details Elyse Koenig: Beauty & Wellness Consulting Nathalie Kourie +1 858-342-7769 nathalie@elysekoenig.com Company Website https://thegoodpatch.com/
