Collagen — a protein that gives your skin elasticity, volume, and structure — is a key contributor to the aging process as production starts to slow in your late 20s and early 30s and will typically have a significant visual effect by age 35. However, while aging is inevitable, looking it is optional. There are many surgical options available to counter the effects of maturing, some of which can be drastic and require a long recovery time. However, if you’re looking for a bold non-surgical option that stimulates your body’s collagen production, you’ve come to the right place. Sofwave: Non-invasive…

The commercial power of nuclear fusion is not yet a reality. But risk capital is flowing to new companies that promise that unlimited clean, safe and virtual energy is no longer just a distant dream. Most of the merger companies that have raised at $ 100 million are based in the United States. It is not proximated by Fusion, a German startup that has just secured a 130 million euros (approximately $ 148 million) financing directed by Balderton Capital and Cherry Ventures.

Will Kroger’s next CEO be a woman? An insider or someone new? An internet wiz or someone all about stores? Nearly three months after the abrupt departure of CEO Rodney McMullen, the Cincinnati-based supermarket giant hasn’t offered any new information on its search for a successor. Interim CEO Ron Sargent, 69, a Kroger board member and former Staples CEO, told Wall Street analysts the retailer would conduct a national search, but would also consider internal candidates. Kroger officials declined to comment on the company’s ongoing search for a new CEO. Still, among Kroger’s 12 top executives, four are women and two of them, Mary Adcock…
Higher executives operate in environments where complexity, speed and uncertainty define the landscape. Under these conditions, technical competence and strategic insight are necessary but are no longer enough. What increasingly distinguishes exceptional leaders is their ability to handle their own biological signals and the dynamics of human behavior in real time. This is the central premise of biohacking leadership: the understanding that leadership is fundamentally a biological act. Each interaction you have, every behavior that models and each signal that you send is processed by others through deeply connected biological mechanisms. Whether you talk to the Board, lead a town…
The non-surgical cosmetic procedure uses freezing temperatures to destroy stubborn fat and rid it from the body – but there are risks. How does it work? The cosmetic treatment is based on a technique called cryolipolysis, where fat cells are destroyed by cooling them to very low temperatures. Fatty bulges, which can’t be got rid of through diet or exercise alone, are the target. They tend to be located under the chin, around the thighs, the abdomen, back or upper arms. When placed in a clamp, attached to a machine and cooled, the fat in these areas becomes damaged and…

While the online dispute between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump seemed to boost the traffic to the social media platform X of Musk (previously Twitter), it could also create problems for the parent company of the XAI platform. Musk merged X and XAI earlier this year, with Bloomberg informing this week that he was looking to raise $ 5 billion in debt (as well as a sale of $ 300 million in a secondary sale) to finance the combined company. That has led to some uncomfortable moments, since Musk’s relationship with his former Allied Trump seemed to disintegrate. In…
