Noto Group Adds Senior Partners Kirsty Schofield and Cody Johns to Expand Global Consumer Practice

LEEDS, England, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Noto Group, an executive search and leadership advisory firm serving consumer brands across North America and Europe, today announced the addition of Kirsty Schofield and Cody Johns as Senior Partners.

The appointments expand Noto Group's expertise and strengthen the firm's ability to support clients through growth, transformation, and strategic change. "Cody and Kirsty bring highly complementary experience, deep consumer sector expertise, and a genuine connection to how we work," said Sara Spirko, Managing Partner of Noto Group. "Both understand that finding the right leader starts with gaining full context including the desired outcomes beneath the hiring need. That perspective, combined with rigorous assessment and close client partnership, is central to how we approach every search."

Kirsty Schofield Strengthens International Practice

Based in the UK, Schofield brings 15 years of executive search experience and will help grow Noto Group's fashion, lifestyle, beauty, and wellness practices. She joins Senior Partner John Copeland in expanding the firm's international reach, leveraging her network across Europe, Asia, and North America.

A founding member and shareholder of PartnerWise, Schofield built a senior-level search practice serving leading consumer brands across functions and markets. She advises boards, CEOs, and executive teams on critical appointments, combining Hogan certification and assessment expertise with a strong understanding of the leadership required to drive growth, transformation, and long-term performance.

"Throughout my career, I've been drawn to organizations and leaders building something meaningful," said Schofield. "Noto Group's consumer focus, values, and proven Sure Hire process really resonate with me. I'm excited to work with our clients as they make important leadership decisions and shape the future of their brands."

"I've known Kirsty for a while and have tremendous respect for the practice she has built," said John Copeland, Senior Partner at Noto Group. "I'm thrilled to work alongside her as we extend Noto Group's reach with top leaders and consumer brands around the world."

Cody Johns Returns to Her Executive Recruiting Roots

Johns has nearly two decades of experience in executive search, talent strategy, and organizational transformation. She joins Noto Group after more than 14 years at Nike, most recently as Director, Talent Business Partner, advising VP and SVP leaders on succession planning, organizational capability, and leadership hiring across Sales, Direct to Consumer, Design, and Product. She also played a key role in a major realignment that moved more than 2,000 employees into a new operating model in fewer than 90 days.

Previously, Johns served as Nike's Executive Sourcing Director, helping scale the company's executive sourcing capabilities, and earlier led executive recruiting across Product Management, Merchandising, and Product Creation.

Johns' move to Noto Group marks a full-circle moment. Notowitz gave her her first opportunity in executive recruiting at Generator Group, the search firm he founded before Noto Group. She later built on that foundation through senior talent roles at Adidas and Nike.

"It's been rewarding to watch Cody build an exceptional career," said Notowitz. "She returns with a rare combination of executive recruiting expertise and firsthand experience advising leaders inside a global organization on talent, succession, and organizational transformation."

"I've followed Noto Group's growth and have always respected its commitment to helping great companies make consequential leadership decisions," said Johns. "Having seen those decisions from both inside organizations and as a search professional, bringing that perspective to Noto Group feels like a natural next chapter."

Johns will advise clients on executive search, leadership selection, and talent strategy, with a focus on fitness and sporting goods, fashion, wellness, and beauty sectors.

Expanding Noto Group's Consumer Leadership Platform

"Kirsty and Cody strengthen our firm in distinct but highly complementary ways," Notowitz added. "Kirsty brings extensive international search experience and deep relationships across global consumer markets, while Cody brings firsthand experience inside a world-class consumer organization. Together, they broaden our ability to help founders, CEOs, boards, and investors build leadership teams equipped to grow, evolve, and endure."

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Women are increasingly turning to AI tools for answers about aging. But, while more access to information can be a boon, it poses its own risks, such as danger of misinformation and a lack of understanding of personal situations.

To stop women having to search in these waters, TENA, a global leader in incontinence care, compiled the most AI-prompted questions on pelvic floor health, and asked 3D movement specialist Zarina Del Mar* to give women reliable answers with the aim to help them use pelvic floor education.

How do you strengthen your pelvic floor?

Del Mar explains: "Don't think that strengthening your pelvic floor means doing hundreds of Kegels. A healthy pelvic floor needs to be strong, but it also needs to be responsive. It should contract when your body needs support and relax when it doesn't.

Instead of endlessly training the visible abs, go back to the foundation: breath, pelvic floor, deep core, and movement all working together."

How do you relax a tight pelvic floor?

Del Mar adds, "One of the simplest places to start is breathing. The diaphragm and pelvic floor are designed to move together. That is why slow diaphragmatic breathing, gentle pelvic movement, and releasing unnecessary tension through the abdomen, hips, and glutes can be helpful.

Sometimes the most important pelvic floor exercise is learning how to let go. Persistent pain, pressure, or difficulty relaxing should be assessed by a healthcare professional."

What is pelvic floor therapy and what does it involve?

Del Mar says: "Pelvic floor physical therapy looks at breathing, posture, movement, abdominal function, hips, and how the pelvic floor contracts and relaxes. Depending on the individual and their symptoms, assessment and treatment may also involve internal examination or manual therapy with the patient's consent.

The human body is a system. Pelvic floor therapy tries to understand that system rather than telling every woman to squeeze the same muscle."

For more information on pelvic floor health, please visit the TENA website.

The information above is not intended to be taken as, or substituted for, medical advice. For any medical queries, please visit your health provider.

Greenfield Dental Market Insights: Rising Dental Costs Push Thousands of Western Patients to Vietnam

HANOI, Vietnam, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenfield Dental has recorded a significant surge in international patient volume with over 300% growth since 2025, reflecting Vietnam's emergence as a premier dental tourism destination and Greenfield's growing reputation.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/greenfield-dental/9401851-en-rising-dental-costs-push-thousands-of-western-patients-to-vietnam-with-savings-of-up-to-80-percent-on-implants

The growth is not incidental. Across the Western world, dental care has become quietly unaffordable. In the United Kingdom, the majority of practices have stopped accepting new NHS patients, while private fees have risen over 20% since 2022. In Australia and the United States, implant costs climb 8% to 12% annually, placing full-arch procedures beyond reach for many working families, retirees, and the uninsured.

Amid these rising costs, Vietnam has emerged as a credible alternative. The country ranks as the second most popular dental tourism destination for Australians and among the top three in APAC. While Western dental costs continue to accelerate, Vietnam holds steady at 3% to 5% annual increases, with customer savings of up to 80% on implants.

Integrated Care Bridging Functionality and Leisure

Greenfield's international program is built on the insight that patients need more than clinical care. The clinic offers complimentary remote consultations, ground transportation throughout the stay, accommodation coordination, and a multilingual team.

Treatment calendars are designed with rest days between appointments, allowing roughly 70% of its international patients to discover Hanoi as a gateway to Southeast Asia's most remarkable landscapes like Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, or Sapa. Many return for follow-up appointments with bolder itineraries, such as the Ha Giang Loop, travelling confidently with a new smile.

Clinical Excellence Meets Hospitality Design

Patients are often caught off guard by the clinic's ambiance. Greenfield is designed with a hospitality sensibility: warm earthy tones, a lounge for awaiting treatment with a locally brewed cuppa, and consultation rooms that feel like private studies.

The clinical infrastructure matches the ambiance. CBCT 3D imaging and iTero digital scanning replace traditional discomfort, while T-scan Novus technology verifies every restoration for long-term functional harmony—a standard Dr. Ta Hong Nhung, Founder and CEO of Greenfield Dental, insists on for every patient.

World-class Care at a Fraction of the Cost

For Australian patient David Carver, the path to a full-arch All-on-6 Straumann restoration on both jaws was stalled by domestic quotes of up to USD 70,000. At Greenfield, he received the same Swiss-made Straumann implants and clinical protocols for under USD 18,000, a saving of nearly 70%.

Carver is part of a rapidly growing cohort. International visitors from 15 countries now represent 40% of Greenfield's patients, a growth further driven by a 90% referral and return rate.

"Many of our patients say they came for the savings but stayed for the quality," said Dr. Ta. "We use the same international implant systems, digital protocols, and standards as leading clinics worldwide. The difference is that here, patients do not have to choose between their health and finances."

That quality is delivered by an experienced clinical team with years of practice in complex implant and full mouth rehabilitation cases, trained at Hanoi Medical University, ranked No. 1 among medical schools in Vietnam. Alongside them, a dedicated patient care team follows each case from the first enquiry through to final review, keeping every treatment step, timeline and cost transparent.

International patients may request a complimentary consultation at greenfield.clinic, https://smilemakeovervietnam.com/, or allon4vietnam.com.

About Greenfield Dental

Greenfield Dental is a comprehensive dental care center in Hanoi, Vietnam, founded by Dr. Ta Hong Nhung, a TMJ and dental occlusion specialist with over 15 years of clinical experience and a Master's in Dentistry from the Hanoi Medical University–University of Bordeaux joint program. The clinic provides a full scope of dental services—from advanced implant dentistry and cosmetic treatments to TMJ therapy and preventive care—using internationally recognized implant systems. Multilingual care is available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese. The clinic serves patients from 15+ countries, with a 90% patient loyalty rate and international volume tripling year-over-year.

The Appointment Ends and the Questions Begin. Bay Area Cancer Connections Answers Them on "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- An upcoming Public Television feature will examine how a San Mateo nonprofit supports people affected by breast and ovarian cancer with navigation, education, financial help and community support that continues long after treatment appointments end.

Bay Area Cancer Connections will be profiled in an upcoming feature of "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia," the educational short-form series distributed to Public Television stations across the country. Production is scheduled to take place at the organization's home base in San Mateo, California, with additional filming aboard its Mobile Resource Center, the vehicle that carries practical resources directly into Bay Area communities and beyond. Founded in 1993 by breast cancer patient Jill Freidenrich and her surgeon, Dr. Ellen Mahoney, the nonprofit has spent more than three decades building a model of support that runs alongside clinical treatment.

The feature will focus on the organization's central educational message: cancer reaches far past physical health, reshaping work, finances, relationships and emotional footing. Services include personalized navigation and resource coordination, evidence based education, emotional support, financial assistance, wellness and survivorship programming, a boutique, and specialized care for people living with metastatic disease. Nothing is standardized. Support is matched to where a person actually is. Partnerships with hospitals, clinicians and community groups extend that help into daily life, reaching patients, caregivers, providers and philanthropists alike.

"At BACC, we believe no one should have to navigate cancer alone. We want to be a safe place to land when everything feels uncertain, and a place people can continue to turn to as their needs change. We strive to meet each person where they are, geographically, emotionally, and in their cancer experience, with support that extends through everything that comes before, after, and in between. At the heart of our mission is a simple promise: to be there with compassion, trusted information, and meaningful support, so no one has to face cancer alone." - Rina Bello, Executive Director, Bay Area Cancer Connections

Support in cancer care remains unevenly connected. Medical systems deliver sophisticated treatment, yet the emotional, practical and financial weight of a diagnosis frequently lands on patients and families who have no map for it. Bills arrive. Work schedules collapse. Difficult conversations wait at home. Bay Area Cancer Connections treats that gap as a structural problem rather than a personal failing, and argues that whole person support belongs inside the cancer experience from the start. Its position is straightforward: people should reach trusted information, counseling, survivorship resources and financial assistance regardless of which hospital or clinic manages their treatment plan.

Treatment advances have changed the arithmetic of survivorship. More people finish therapy and live for decades; others live years with metastatic disease that will not be cured. Both groups carry needs that clinical visits rarely address, among them fear of recurrence, scan anxiety, lasting side effects, shifting identity and altered relationships. Demand for long-term support is climbing accordingly. Bay Area Cancer Connections is responding by widening healthcare partnerships, broadening virtual and in-person access, strengthening survivorship and metastatic programming, and testing cost effective service models designed to keep personalized support available as the number of people needing it grows.

About "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia": "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia" is an educational short-form documentary series airing on Public Television stations across the country. Each feature examines the work of organizations, institutions and companies addressing questions of public interest, presenting the people and practices behind them in an informational format built for a general audience. Topics range across healthcare, education, technology, industry and community service. Additional information about the series, its production process and its library of past features is available at allaccessptv.com.

About Bay Area Cancer Connections: Bay Area Cancer Connections supports anyone affected by breast or ovarian cancer with personalized, no cost services that complement medical treatment. Established in 1993 and based in San Mateo, California, the nonprofit offers navigation and resource coordination, evidence based education, emotional support, financial assistance, wellness and survivorship programs, specialized services for people living with metastatic disease, a boutique, and a Mobile Resource Center serving surrounding communities. The organization works in partnership with healthcare providers and community groups throughout the region.

BEIJING, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Factory tourism is becoming a new trend in Jiaozhou, a city in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, breathing new life into the city's cultural tourism industry.

A number of local leading enterprises are opening their doors to visitors, turning production lines into distinctive sightseeing routes and factory floors into learning spaces for study tour participants. The integration of industry and cultural tourism is taking root and injecting new vitality in Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou has a strong manufacturing foundation and a comprehensive industrial base, with more than 15,000 industrial enterprises, including over 1,000 above designated size, the highest number among cities of its tier in Shandong Province.

Encouraged by local authorities, a growing number of industrial companies have ventured into the culture and tourism sector, expanding and refining their industrial chains while further enhancing their brand influence.

Qingdao Dengta Flavoring and Food Co., Ltd., a time-honored Chinese flavoring manufacturer in Jiaozhou, boasts 120-year-old traditional brewing craftsmanship. Visitors can try their hand at making condiments, taste soy sauce- and vinegar-flavored ice cream in the company's own museum and condiment-themed science park, immersing themselves in the cultural heritage of the brand.

Beyond cultural heritage experiences, Liqun Group's smart logistics and food production base highlights the role of technology in modern industry. Visitors can explore its smart logistics center equipped with 3D vision technology and a cold-chain center with a storage capacity of 300,000 cubic meters, gaining insight into the efficient operation of modern supply chains through a transparent visitor corridor.

The rapid growth of industrial tourism has not only brought tangible visitor traffic and market benefits to enterprises, but also generated significant spillover effects across related industries.

Nemak, S.A.B. de C.V. Announces Results of Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for Any and All of Its Outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes Due 2028

MONTERREY, Mexico, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NEMAK, S.A.B. de C.V. (the "Company") announced today that the previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 2.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (Regulation S Notes: ISIN XS2362994068 / Common Code 236299406; Rule 144A Notes: ISIN XS2362996519 / Common Code 236299651) (the "Notes") expired on September 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., New York time (5:00 p.m., Central European Time) (the "Expiration Date").

The Company further announced that as of the Expiration Date, the Company had received tenders and consents (not validly withdrawn or revoked) from the holders of approximately €446,911,000, or 89.38%, of the total outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

The consents received by the Company exceeded the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes were issued (the "Indenture"). Based on the receipt of the consents, the Company intends to execute a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture to implement the Proposed Amendments (as defined below). The Supplemental Indenture, once operative, will eliminate the Company's obligation to comply with substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the Indenture, certain events of default and certain additional covenants and rights contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and will shorten (i) the minimum notice period to noteholders required for a redemption from 30 days to three (3) Business Days prior to the redemption date; and (ii) the minimum period to provide an officers' certificate to the Trustee in connection with the redemption from 45 days to three (3) Business Days prior to the redemption date (the "Proposed Amendments"). The Supplemental Indenture will not become operative until the Company deposits the Total Consideration (as defined below), in immediately available funds, with Euroclear Bank SA/NV or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, as applicable, in respect of the tendered Notes, which is expected to occur on the Settlement Date (as defined below). The Supplemental Indenture will thereafter be binding on the holders of Notes not purchased in the Offer.

The Company intends to purchase all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accept all consents validly delivered (and not validly revoked) at or prior to the Expiration Date on September 24, 2026 (the "Settlement Date"), pursuant to the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement dated September 15, 2026 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer Document"), previously distributed to holders of the Notes. On the Settlement Date, holders of the Notes who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date will receive, for each €1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, an amount in cash in euro equal to €1,000 (the "Total Consideration"), in addition to accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the Settlement Date, plus additional amounts thereon, if any.

In accordance with the terms of the Offer, withdrawal rights with respect to the tendered Notes and delivered consents expired at 11:00 a.m., New York time (5:00 p.m., Central European Time) on September 22, 2026. Accordingly, holders may not withdraw Notes previously or hereafter tendered, or revoke consents previously delivered, except as required by law.

All conditions described in the Offer Document for the acceptance for purchase and payment for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer were satisfied or waived on or prior to the Expiration Date.

On or after the Settlement Date, the Company intends, but is not obliged to, issue a notice of redemption with respect to all Notes that remained outstanding following the Settlement Date, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Neither the Offer Document nor this press release constitute a notice of redemption or an obligation to issue a notice of redemption.

Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. was the dealer manager and solicitation agent (the "Dealer Manager") for the Offer. D.F. King Ltd. was appointed as the tender, tabulation and information agent (the "Tender Agent") for the Offer.
