<p><span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">LONDON</span></span>, <span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-chron">July 7, 2025</span></span> /PRNewswire/ — Known for her frank fashion advice on the BBC’s <i>What Not To Wear</i>, <span class="xn-person">Susannah Constantine</span> is embracing mid-life skin rejuvenation with her same trademark honesty. Choosing Alma’s new Harmony Bio-Boost<b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b> as her first aesthetic treatment in almost two decades – a bio-stimulating laser treatment that boosts plumping collagen and tightening elastin for a firmer, smoother and more glowy skin – she confirms the results have positively changed the way she feels about herself.</p>

<p>“Reaching mid-life, I realised looking after your skin isn’t just about vanity, it’s about vitality. I want my skin to reflect how I feel inside: strong, bright and healthy,” says Susannah. “Even my friends started noticing the difference—not asking if I’d had anything done, just saying how fresh and well I looked.”</p>
<p>Harmony Bio-Boost<b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b> is a no-downtime, non-invasive laser treatment that trains the skin to self-repair and reproduce the stores of collagen and elastin it once did. This built-in regenerative system brings back a level of clarity, luminosity and bounce to the skin, effectively delaying the ageing process. </p>
<p>“I’ve always looked after my skin with SPF and hi-tech skincare, but Harmony Bio-Boost<b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b> has given me a whole new level of confidence,” she adds. “My skin looks fresher, and I feel better for it. This has been the best gift I could’ve given myself.”</p>
<p>A passionate advocate of self-acceptance, especially after her experiences with menopause and alcohol, Susannah says this step aligned perfectly with her personal journey. “I did a lot of research and wanted something with a strong safety record. Alma’s technology gives my skin the support it needs to bounce back. It’s not about looking different. It’s about looking like me, at my best. Making the most of what you’ve got without the risk of looking ‘done’—that’s the secret.”</p>
<p>Dr Ahmed, GP and Skin Laser Expert at The Aesthetics Doctor in Mayfair, explains: “Harmony Bio-Boost<b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b> combines the advanced technologies of ClearLift Pro and ClearSkin Pro for instant skin tightening, leading to a smoother appearance with no downtime. Think of it as an ISA for your skin—you’re banking collagen for the future.”</p>
<p>The treatment is suitable for skin laxity, acne, pigmentation, wrinkles and general rejuvenation. Each session can be tailored to an individual’s skin needs using precision targeted laser wavelengths, bringing you closer to great quality skin from the inside-out.</p>
<p><span class="xn-person">Katie Vaughan</span>, Head of Marketing for Alma UK & <span class="xn-location">Ireland</span>, says, “Susannah’s honest, real approach to beauty and ageing reflects exactly what Harmony Bio-Boost<b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b> is about. In today’s world, people want treatments that are effective, natural-looking and fit into their lives. Susannah embodies that shift.”</p>
<p><b>Harmony Bio-Boost<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> treatments start from £350. almalasers.co.uk </b></p>

<div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpg8084left" style="width: 100%; text-align: left;"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt="Minister Al-Jasser Lays Foundation Stone for Logistics Corridor Linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumrah Logistics Park" id="prnejpg8084left" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2724226/The_Saudi_Ports_Authority_Mawani.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 225px;" title="Minister Al-Jasser Lays Foundation Stone for Logistics Corridor Linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumrah Logistics Park"></img></div>
<p>The ceremony was attended by Mawani President Eng. Suliman Almazroua, alongside senior officials and leaders from across the transport and logistics ecosystem.</p>
<p>Developed and implemented by Mawani, the corridor project is valued at over <b><span class="xn-money">$183.7 million</span></b> and spans <b>17 kilometers</b>with <b>two lanes in each direction</b>. It features <b>12 overpasses</b>, <b>emergency access points</b>, <b>maintenance facilities</b>, and a <b>comprehensive rainwater drainage system</b>, providing uninterrupted truck movement between the port and the logistics park while bypassing <span class="xn-location">Jeddah’s</span> urban road network.</p>
<p>Minister Al-Jasser emphasized that the dedicated corridor will <b>increase Jeddah Islamic Port’s handling capacity by 10%</b>, streamline truck flows, and enhance road safety by separating heavy truck traffic from general urban traffic. The project is also expected to <b>reduce congestion, noise, and visual pollution</b>, while contributing to lower carbon emissions and a better urban living environment.</p>
<p>“This initiative is a key milestone under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, reinforcing the Kingdom’s ambition to become a global logistics hub connecting three continents,” said Al-Jasser.</p>
<p>The corridor strengthens multimodal integration and supply chain efficiency, while enhancing trade facilitation and the operational performance of Jeddah Islamic Port. It also unlocks new investment opportunities in the region and creates added value for transporters, importers, exporters, shipping lines, and logistics park users.</p>
<p>Jeddah Islamic Port is a major gateway on the Red Sea coast, covering <b>12.5 square kilometers</b> with <b>62 multi-purpose berths</b>, state-of-the-art terminals, and specialized facilities that support regional and international trade.</p>
<p>This project represents another significant step in advancing <span class="xn-location">Saudi Arabia’s</span> logistics sector and achieving Vision 2030’s economic diversification and connectivity goals.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>First of its kind institutional-grade fund opens access to a new and growing class of traditional and digital asset-native allocators</i></p>
<p><span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">HAMILTON, Bermuda</span></span>, <span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-chron">July 4, 2025</span></span> /PRNewswire/ — <a href="https://www.memberscap.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Members Capital Management</a> (“MembersCap”), a <span class="xn-location">Bermuda</span>-regulated investment manager, today completed the successful investment of its initial portfolio through its fund, MCM Fund I, the first tokenised institutional-grade reinsurance fund designed for both sophisticated digital asset investors and traditional allocators. All portfolio trades were executed with global reinsurance companies and top-tier Lloyd’s of <span class="xn-location">London</span> syndicates, and were sourced through the top three global reinsurance brokers.</p>
<p>MCM Fund I opens access to reinsurance income for a rapidly expanding capital base of new investors seeking diversified and uncorrelated investment alternatives with attractive yield and structured liquidity.</p>
<p>The launch represents the growing importance of funds structuring their offerings to take advantage of the continuing convergence between traditional finance and digital assets. Backed by Solana, Aptos, and Cardano and supported by institutions like Coinbase, Archax, Apex Group, and Envelop Risk, MembersCap has selected the Solana, Aptos, Cardano, and Base protocols to provide access to qualified investors wishing to invest using eligible cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>MembersCap has been selected as the first fund in the real-world assets category on the Archax platform, sitting alongside tokenized offerings from other institutions like BlackRock, State Street, and <span class="xn-location">Aberdeen</span>.</p>
<p><b>The reinsurance opportunity </b></p>
<p>Being fundamentally uncorrelated with the financial markets, reinsurance has consistently outperformed most traditional alternatives over the past two decades. Despite being highly yield-generative, the sector has historically been reserved for pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional giants.</p>
<p>Increasingly, both crypto-native investors and smaller traditional allocators are seeking refuge from market volatility by accessing reinsurance as a stable, diversified income stream to support a balanced portfolio and enhance overall returns.</p>
<p><i>“Every generation is presented with new technologies that unlock economic opportunity. To us, tokenisation and the blockchain represent access to better asset management for a different class of investor,”</i> said<b> <span class="xn-person">Lloyd Wahed</span>, Co-Founder and CEO of MembersCap.</b> “<i>We’re excited to be one of the first institutional funds to emerge from this space.”</i></p>
<p><i>“Our investors– digital asset institutions, family offices, HNWIs —want to meet their goals of resiliency and long-term sustainable growth through new and more efficient means. With this novel approach, we’re seeing these investors view reinsurance as a core part of their portfolio for the first time,” said <b><span class="xn-person">Patrick Barrett</span>, Co-Founder and COO </b></i><b>at MembersCap</b><i>.</i></p>
<p><i>“This launch proves that tokenisation can bring new capital to help address the growing insurance protection gap by lowering barriers and providing access to the private reinsurance market,” </i>said <b>Dr.</b> <b><span class="xn-person">Benjamin Fox</span>, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at MembersCap. </b><i>“Our tokenised model enables a new cohort of investors to participate pari passu alongside large institutions in an uncorrelated asset class with a track record of reliable, attractive returns.”</i></p>
<p>Positioned as an alternative to private equity, venture capital, and fixed income strategies, MCM Fund I provides qualified investors with regulated and collateralised access to reinsurance via direct exposure to natural catastrophe and cyber reinsurance contracts sourced through blue-chip global partners.</p>
<p>For Web3 treasuries, foundations, and institutions, the Fund delivers high-yield opportunities and structured liquidity, derived from high-quality, real-world reinsurance returns, without exposure to DeFi volatility and over-concentration in altcoins.</p>
<p>MembersCap was founded in 2024 and is backed by a strong coalition of both institutional and blockchain-native partners. This blend of traditional underwriting expertise and on-chain architecture ensures institutional-grade standards while embracing next-generation accessibility.</p>
<p><b>About Members Capital Management<br /></br></b>Founded in 2024, Members Capital Management (“MembersCap”) is a licensed investment manager regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, bridging institutional finance and blockchain infrastructure. Backed by leading blockchain protocols including Cardano, Aptos, and Solana, and supported by institutional infrastructure from Archax, Coinbase, Apex Group and Envelop Risk, MembersCap delivers a new institutional blueprint: tokenised participation to the global reinsurance market, an asset class traditionally closed to most investors.</p>
