ABOU T DR . BARBAR A STURM The Founder of Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics Dr. Barbara Sturm is a globally-renowned German doctor, aesthetics expert and anti- inflammatory pioneer with a background in orthopedic research. Dr. Sturm studied Medicine and Sports at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf before beginning her medical career in orthopedics. She worked as part of a team that developed cutting- edge treatments for inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis, using the body's own proteins and healing factors to stop the inflammatory process and help heal joint tissue. In 2002, Dr. Sturm translated the science from her clinical research and orthopedic practice into the field of aesthetics. 'Aesthetics is a combination of art and science, and it is a fascinating challenge with immediate and very gratifying results for patients,' says Dr. Sturm. 'I started by injecting Hyaluronic Acid and Botox which provided great results, but I kept thinking that it would be an amazing additional anti-aging booster for the skin to mix these compounds with the body's own anti-inflammatory healing factors, as we did in orthopedic medicine.' In 2002 she created her MCX treatment, a Platelet- Rich Plasma (PRP) facial now recognized by many as the 'Blood Facial,' followed shortly by her famous 'MC1' cream; a bespoke, plasma-based moisturizer that harnesses the power of the body's own proteins in a skin healing formula. Dr. Sturm's patients required an entire, science-based and effective skincare regimen, and seeing no such products available on the market, Dr. Sturm went into the lab and created her own. In 2014, she invented her full anti-inflammatory collection, and Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics was born. Today, Dr. Sturm has seven DR. BARBARA STURM SPA & BOUTIQUES worldwide, including London, New York, Miami, and LA, which are home to her high-performance treatments and serve as education hubs for her patients. Her Molecular Cosmetics collection is built on 25 years of scientific research with over 300 products and more than 5,000 carefully curated skincare routines that have gained global recognition and a cult following. All Dr. Barbara Sturm products are free of synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives and parabens, are cruelty-free and suitable for all skin types and concerns. THE PILLARS OF THE STURM SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY ANTI-INFLAMMATION - to reduce inflammatory influences both externally and internally, it is important to avoid aggressive skincare ingredients and to adopt an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. HYDRATION | NUTRITION - optimally hydrated skin boosts the skin barrier function making it less prone to skin dysfunctions including breakouts, redness and irritation. TELOMERASE ACTIVATION - Telomeres are DNA structures that affect how we age. Studies have shown that natural compounds, like Purslane, have a positive effect on Telomere health. EXOSOMES - Exosomes are key mediators in cell-to-cell communication that play pivotal roles in reducing inflammation, encouraging skin regeneration for a healthy complexion. SKINCARE FORMULATED WITH MOLECULAR SCIENCE 'Molecular' means to work on a cellular level. If each active ingredient represents a molecule, each one can have a different size and different pathway to perform very specific and focused tasks throughout the skin. For a formula to be truly effective, its molecular structure needs to have a 360° approach to heal, repair and regenerate the skin across a complex matrix. Attachments

General Dynamics Profits Jet Higher on Sales of Business Aircraft
General Dynamics' profits jumped more than 27 percent in the first quarter as the company's aerospace business is expected to begin making deliveries of its new long-range executive jet later this summer. Based in Reston, Virginia, the aerospace and military contractor provides a range of products and services for the Pentagon and other U.S. government agencies, as well as private sector and commercial customers worldwide. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts on April 23, General Dynamics CEO Phebe Novakovic said the company's four business segments saw increases in earnings and revenue compared to a year ago. She noted the company's growth and strong performance in the defense and aerospace sectors, which saw a 50 percent increase in aircraft deliveries. 'This business has become a real jewel. In summary, the aerospace team has had a good quarter,' Novakovic said of the company's Gulfstream subsidiary and jet aviation business. During the quarter, Gulfstream delivered 36 business jets to customers worldwide, including 13 of its new ultra-large-cabin G700 aircraft that can carry up to 19 passengers. A year ago, Gulfstream delivered its first G700 to customers, providing the company with a new flagship executive jet to rival Bombardier's Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon's new 10X entry. Last week, Gulfstream also announced that the company's new G800 was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Produced at the Savannah, Georgia, production facility, the G800 is billed as the world's longest-range business jet, capable of traveling over 8,200 nautical miles (9,400 miles) at speeds nearing Mach 0.935. Related Stories 4/23/2025 4/22/2025 Gulfstream's fleet of executive business aircraft also includes the G400, G500, G600, and G650. The latter recently recorded the farthest and fastest flight in business aviation history, traveling from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona, a distance of about 9,200 miles, in just over 15 hours, and completed production in February. Since then, the new executive jet entry has moved to the company's completion center in Appleton, Wisconsin, where the first G650 will be delivered to the first customer later this year. During the conference call, Novakovic also highlighted General Dynamics' position as one of the nation's top prime defense contractors, providing a full spectrum of technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning services and products to military, intelligence, and federal civilian customers. Under the company's combat and marine subsidiaries, the prime defense contractor General Dynamics' brand-name products for the U.S. military include the M1 Abrams tank, Virginia-Class submarines, and Stryker anti-tank missiles and armored vehicles used by Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia. 'Demand for combat system products continues to be robust, with particular strength in Europe,' said Novakovic, citing 'the heightened threat environment' globally. The General Dynamics chief executive said that in addition to recent contracts exceeding $1 billion to supply the U.S. Army with battlefront combat vehicles, which Ukrainian soldiers are now using against Russian infantry, the company is also working with the Pentagon to accelerate the modernization of the Abrams M-1 tank. In late 2023, the U.S. Army first After earlier upgrades in 2018, the new Army tank is considered the world's most lethal battlefield tank. Army officials have said publicly that the latest version will be updated with the latest modular systems, allowing quicker technological upgrades and requiring fewer resources. 'We are rapidly increasing munitions capacity and production with the opening of our projectile facility in Texas and our load, assembly, and pack facility in Arkansas,' Novakovic confirmed. 'All in all, combat had a solid quarter and is off to a good start for the year.' General Dynamics On a company-wide basis, orders in the quarter totaled $10.2 billion, and backlog at the end of the quarter was $88.7 billion. As the Trump administration and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) move forward with In response to analyst questions about the impact of Trump administration tariffs, trade policy, and possible DOGE and Department of Defense budget cuts on company operations, the General Dynamics CEO said the company preferred to hold comments until more information is available. 'If I were more specific, I would be wrong. I am just really sharing how we see it from our foxhole,' said Novakovic. 'Rumors are rampant, and I just want to see what the [Trump] budget shows.' Taking a page from a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, Novakovic said General Dynamics would not revise or update its yearly financial forecast. Earlier in January, the company provided earnings per share guidance of $14.75 billion to $14.85 billion for the first quarter, compared to the consensus earnings per share estimate of $13.7 billion. In Wednesday's New York Stock Exchange session, General Dynamics' shares settled at $265.53, down $9.27 or 3.3 percent.

This New Gulfstream Has the Longest Range of Any Business Jet
The aircraft that billed itself as having the world's longest range can fly even farther. The Gulfstream G800, which made its first transatlantic flight in June 2022, has underwent a testing program with three test aircraft for the last three years. It received type certification yesterday from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and EASA, the European Union counterpart. Originally, Gulfstream said the G800 would have a range of 8,000 nautical miles, but the company has upped that to 8,200. That extra mileage matters to aircraft owners willing to pay between $70 million and $100 million (or much more with options) for the new breed of ultra-long-range aircraft, including Gulfstream's G700, Bombardier's Global 7500 and new Global 8000, and Dassault Falcon's 6X and upcoming 10X, expected to be certified in 2027. More from Robb Report Bombardier's New Plane Is the Fastest Civilian Jet Since the Concorde Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo Both Fly Gulfstream Jets With Custom Liveries 6 Ways Technology Will Transform Your Private-Jet Experience in the Next Decade The new G800, scheduled to be delivered to its first launch customer soon, is smaller than its G700 sibling by about 10 feet; it's for owners who may not need the extra space, but want the added range. The 8,200-nautical-mile range happens at a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85. It can travel 7,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.90. At Mach 0.87, its range is 8,000 nautical miles. Beyond the extra range, the G800's maximum speed was also upped to Mach 0.935 from Mach 0.925. Its takeoff and landing distances—critical for aircraft that want to land on short-field airports—also improved to 5,812 feet and 3,105 feet, respectively. 'With the certification of the G800, Gulfstream has again exceeded expectations thanks to the expertise and rigor of our flight test, certification, and manufacturing teams,' said Mark Burns, Gulfstream's president, in a statement. The G800's numbers include the industry's lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 feet when flying at 41,000 feet and 100 percent fresh air, thanks to a plasma ionization air-purification. The interior can be configured with four living areas or three living areas and a dedicated crew compartment. Gulfstream is halting production of the G650 in June when deliveries of the G800 begin. In January the company said it expects to deliver about 150 aircraft this year.
