Published

on

RESTON, Va., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Virginia Business has named ThunderCat Technology as one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group. ThunderCat is proud to announce it is #1 for midsize businesses in Virginia.

Best Places to Work in Virginia identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Virginia in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Virginia; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Virginia; and be in business for a minimum of one year.

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

“The 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia know what it takes to create a workplace that results in teamwork and excellence. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive environment for all,” said Richard Foster, associate publisher of Virginia Business. “We at Virginia Business are pleased to join with Best Companies Group in recognizing these outstanding organizations.”

“A culture isn’t defined by HR, the CEO or even the managers and leaders of the company. They can help set the tone, but to have a truly fun and exciting place to work – it is the combination of everyone, every single person and the little things we do each day to build strong bonds. Leaders can set goals and provide challenges, but the ‘Best Places to Work’ are only best because people trust, respect, and want to work with their teammates. Here at ThunderCat we take pride in hiring incredible people who buy into our desire to be excellent partners, expert advisors to our customers, and genuine friends with one another. We ensure folks feel valued, supported, acknowledged for their efforts, and rewarded for their performance,” said Tom Deierlein, CEO of ThunderCat Technology.

The complete list of winners can be found online. The final rankings were announced at the March 31 awards ceremony.

By

Beauty-Stem debuted Miracle-48™ in the U.S., featuring a patented microsphere delivery system and exosome-derived extraction. The launch event included a live performance and testimonial by actress Victoria Summer, who praised the product’s visible skin-renewing effects. Experts call it a breakthrough in medical-grade anti-aging skincare, as the brand begins its global expansion starting with the U.S. market.

LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Beauty-Stem Biomedical, a biotech-driven beauty and wellness company, officially unveiled its flagship product Miracle-48™ at a high-profile brand event held in Southern California. Attended by leaders from the business, medical, and philanthropic sectors, the evening marked a significant milestone for the brand’s U.S. expansion and showcased its latest innovation in skin rejuvenation.

A Science-Based Breakthrough Years in the Making

Developed by an international R&D team led by Dr. Chai-Ching Lin, President of Power-Stem Biomedical, Miracle-48™ is the result of years of cross-disciplinary research and clinical testing. The formula blends regenerative science with modern skincare, powered by a patented microsphere delivery system that precisely carries and releases exosome-derived extraction deep into the skin’s layers.

Each milliliter contains over 100,000 microspheres and 800 million active factors, delivering 48 skin-revitalizing ingredients that help reduce fine lines, dullness, and sagging—kickstarting the skin’s natural renewal process.

Victoria Summer‘s Testimonial and Performance

International actress and singer Victoria Summer, fresh off a Best Supporting Actress win at Portugal’s FARO International Film Festival, lit up the launch with a heartfelt live performance. She also shared her personal experience using Miracle-48™, saying it made a visible difference in her skin.

“In just two months, my skin looked smoother, firmer, and more radiant,” said Victoria. “It brought back a youthful glow—and my confidence too.”

Inspired by Beauty-Stem‘s mission, she now serves as the brand’s global ambassador, supporting its message of natural beauty and wellness from the inside out.

A Promising Contender in the High-End Skincare Market

With demand growing for high-performance skincare backed by science, Miracle-48™ hits the U.S. at the right moment. “This isn’t your average moisturizer,” said Dr. Sahar Lashin, MD, PhD, founder of IntegrUtopia. “It brings medical-grade technology into daily routines—and raises the bar for what skincare can do.”

Doctors, beauty experts, and media at the event called it a “game-changer” in anti-aging, with some describing it as a modern-day fountain of youth.

Global Strategy, Local Impact

The Los Angeles launch was more than just a product reveal—it marked the first major step in Beauty-Stem‘s global growth strategy. With North America as a key market, the brand plans to build its presence through continued innovation and strategic partnerships in regenerative skincare.

Beauty-Stem remains committed to delivering high-efficacy, science-backed solutions that support both beauty and long-term skin health for customers worldwide.

Beijing Review: 50 Years of Growing Partnership

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 6, 1975, China and the European Economic Community, the predecessor to today’s European Union, established diplomatic relations. This historic moment opened a new chapter of friendship and cooperation.

 

Over the past half a century, both sides have championed multilateralism, deepened collaboration and achieved mutually beneficial outcomes. Their enduring efforts have played a constructive role in advancing global peace and development. A healthy and stable partnership not only serves their interests, but also helps shape a better world.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” This slightly adapted line from the earliest known text on Chinese medicine, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, reflects the spirit of cooperation between the two sides across decades and offers a guiding vision for the future.

In March 2014, shortly before his state visit to Belgium and visit to the EU headquarters, President Xi Jinping cited this ancient Chinese quote in his article published in Belgian newspaper Le Soir. The sentence emphasizes that wise people focus on shared values and embrace diversity to achieve mutual benefit; whereas the unwise amplify differences, foment conflict and invite failure.

Through this quote, Xi conveyed his hope that China and the EU will respect each other, treat each other as equals, seek common ground while respecting differences, deepen communication and stay committed to mutually beneficial cooperation. He called for finding the greatest common interests, sharing opportunities and jointly tackling challenges.

Given their differences in history and culture, social institutions and stages of development, it is only natural for China and the EU to have varying perspectives, and even disagreements, on certain issues. Like-mindedness makes for partnership, and seeking common ground while respecting differences is also a feature of partnership.

Both past experiences and present realities have shown that as long as both sides adhere to mutual respect, treat each other as equals and engage in candid dialogue, differences cannot stand in the way of dialogue, nor can disagreements impede collaboration.

To date, China and the EU have established over 70 consultation and dialogue mechanisms, covering a broad spectrum of sectors including politics, economy and trade, people-to-people exchange, science and technology, energy and the environment.

Bilateral trade expanded from just over $2.4 billion in 1975 to over $780 billion in 2024. Two-way investment, once negligible, surged to nearly $260 billion. Since its launch in 2011, the China-Europe Railway Express, dubbed the “steel camel caravan,” has reached 227 cities across 25 European countries, completing over 100,000 freight trips, and become a key link between Asia and Europe.

Throughout history, both Chinese and European civilizations have made lasting impacts on the progress of humanity. In recent years, exchanges in education, science and technology have flourished. Cultural exchange is becoming more vibrant and connections between people are growing ever closer, continuously enriching their shared stories of mutual understanding, cooperation, exchange and mutual learning.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” At the new starting point that is the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, China and the EU should remain true to the original aspiration of their partnership, seek common ground while respecting differences, build mutual trust and pursue mutually beneficial cooperation. Together, they will foster global peace and prosperity, as well as usher in a new, promising chapter in the next 50 years.
