Seoul, South Korea, 23rd Feb 2026 – LOOKTAKE Corp., an innovative AI style transfer social platform startup, announced the simultaneous launch of its mobile application, ‘LookTake,’ in both the South Korean and United States markets. LookTake is a next-generation social platform that leverages advanced AI technology to allow users to instantly apply beauty, hair, and fashion styles to their own photos.
A Personalized Style Experience Without Presets Unlike existing applications that rely on limited pre-defined filters, LookTake’s core differentiator is its “No-Preset” flexibility. Users can upload any photo of a style they admire—whether it is a celebrity’s red-carpet look, a magazine editorial, or a trending outfit—and the AI naturally synthesizes that specific style onto the user’s own photo. With a single click of the “Take” button, users can answer the question, “Would this look good on me?” by seeing the results in real-time.
Comprehensive “Beauty-Tech” Solution: Hair, Makeup, and Fashion LookTake integrates three major lifestyle categories—beauty, hair, and fashion—into a single seamless platform. This all-in-one approach provides practical simulations for various real-life scenarios:
Hair Simulation: Users can test different haircuts or colors before visiting a salon to prevent “haircut regret”.
Makeup & Beauty: It allows for testing complex makeup looks or color cosmetics before purchase, ensuring the shades match the user’s complexion.
Fashion Try-on: Users can virtually “wear” clothes from online malls or celebrity photos to check the fit and style before making a financial commitment.
Innovative Social App Design with a Focus on Privacy LookTake is designed as a social platform where users can discover new inspirations from other users’ feeds and immediately “Take” those styles. However, recognizing the personal nature of style experimentation, the app also allows users to check results privately without sharing them on social media. This ensures a pressure-free environment for users to explore diverse and bold transformations.
“LookTake aims to be more than just an editing tool; it is a platform for discovery and instant realization of style,” said a representative of LOOKTAKE Corp..
Availability & Media The LookTake app is currently available for download on both iOS and Android platforms

Renowned coach works exclusively with men passionate about lasting transformation in health, fitness, mindset, and lifestyle
LAS VEGAS, NV — John Spencer Ellis, an internationally recognized coach, consultant, and wellness educator, is looking for a specific type of client: men over 40 who are done with half-measures and fully committed to transforming their health, fitness, wellness, mindset, and lifestyle for good.
Ellis’s coaching isn’t for everyone. It’s designed exclusively for men who feel genuine conviction about change—men who’ve decided that the second half of their life will be dramatically better than the first.
“I’m not interested in convincing anyone to change,” said Ellis. “The men I work with have already made that decision. They’re not exploring possibilities. They’re not testing the waters. They’ve reached a point where continuing as they are is simply unacceptable. That conviction is the starting point for everything we do together.”
Beyond Casual Improvement
Ellis distinguishes his coaching from the countless programs promising easy transformation.
His work requires genuine commitment because genuine transformation demands it. Health optimization, fitness rebuilding, mindset shifts, and life simplification don’t happen through casual effort. They require sustained focus, consistent action, and the determination to push through obstacles that inevitably arise.
Men who approach change tentatively produce tentative results. Men who approach change with passion and conviction produce transformation that lasts.
“There are plenty of programs for men who want to try something new,” Ellis observed. “That’s not what I offer. I work with men who are determined—men who’ve stopped making excuses and started making decisions. The difference in outcomes is night and day.”
The Five Domains of Transformation
Ellis’s coaching addresses transformation comprehensively across five interconnected areas.
Health optimization forms the foundation. Hormone awareness, inflammation management, sleep enhancement, and the protocols that restore physical function at the cellular level. Men learn to address the root causes of decline rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.
Fitness rebuilding develops strength, mobility, and physical capability appropriate for men over 40. Customized programming accounts for current condition, past injuries, and realistic recovery capacity. The goal is sustainable capability that enhances life rather than punishing routines that break men down.
Wellness integration addresses the factors beyond exercise that determine quality of life. Nutritional strategies, stress physiology, recovery practices, and the daily habits that either support or undermine vitality. Men develop patterns they can maintain permanently.
Mindset transformation shifts how men think about themselves, their potential, and their future. Limiting beliefs get identified and replaced. Mental clarity improves. The psychological foundations of sustained change get established and reinforced.
Life simplification creates the structure that makes everything else sustainable. Ellis helps men eliminate complexity that drains resources without delivering value. Careers get restructured or escaped. Obligations get evaluated honestly. What emerges is a life with margin for health, growth, and genuine fulfillment.
The Commitment Requirement
Ellis is direct about expectations.
He works exclusively with men who are passionate about change—not interested in change, not hoping for change, but genuinely passionate about creating a different future.
He works with men who feel convicted about living a better life—men who’ve moved beyond vague dissatisfaction into clear determination.
He works with men who are determined to live the second half of their life better than the first—men who recognize that what got them here won’t get them where they want to go.
“This isn’t about age,” Ellis explained. “It’s about decision. Some men reach this conviction at 42. Others at 58. The number doesn’t matter. The commitment does.”
Credentials and Experience
Ellis brings decades of experience and extensive credentials to his coaching.
His background includes two bachelor’s degrees, an MBA, and a doctorate in education, plus fifteen professional certifications spanning fitness, nutrition, and rehabilitation. He has collaborated with leading experts including Dr. Oz and has been inducted into the Personal Trainer Hall of Fame.
Ellis personally demonstrates the transformation he teaches, maintaining optimal health and vitality in his 50s through the same protocols he shares with clients.
Getting Registered
For men ready to commit, beginning is simple.
Registration takes just minutes at https://johnspencerellis.com. Men complete a brief intake process, schedule their first session, and begin working with Ellis to develop their personalized transformation strategy.
The 90-day coaching program includes weekly consulting sessions, customized protocols across all five domains, and ongoing support throughout the process.
“The second half doesn’t have to repeat the first,” said Ellis. “For men with real conviction, it can be dramatically better. That transformation starts with a decision—and registration takes two minutes.”

Military-Proven Performance Optimization Protocols Replace Traditional Wellness Benefits as Companies Seek Measurable ROI from Executive Health Investments
LAS VEGAS, NV – February 19, 2026 – Corporate America is witnessing the most significant evolution in workplace wellness since the introduction of employer-sponsored health insurance, as companies abandon generic employee health programs in favor of sophisticated executive biological optimization services. Dr. Wallace Brucker, MD, Medical Director of LV Longevity Lab in Las Vegas, has emerged as the leading architect of this transformation, developing corporate wellness models that deliver measurable performance improvements rather than basic health maintenance.
The shift represents a fundamental departure from traditional corporate wellness approaches that treated all employees identically through generic programs like gym memberships, basic health screenings, and stress management seminars. Dr. Brucker’s model recognizes that senior executives face unique biological demands requiring specialized medical interventions unavailable through conventional wellness infrastructure.
“We’re witnessing the death of one-size-fits-all corporate wellness,” said Dr. Brucker, whose distinctive background combines West Point military training, board certification in orthopedic surgery, three decades optimizing human performance for Army Special Forces and Navy SEALs, and fellowship certification in anti-aging medicine. “Companies are discovering that generic wellness programs deliver minimal ROI because they weren’t designed for the specific biological demands of executive leadership roles.”
Measurable Business Impact Drives Adoption
Corporate clients implementing Dr. Brucker’s executive optimization programs report substantial returns on investment through enhanced leadership effectiveness, improved strategic decision-making, reduced absenteeism from preventable health issues, and extended executive career longevity. Internal studies conducted by participating companies show executives undergoing biological optimization demonstrate 25-40% improvements in cognitive performance metrics, enhanced stress resilience during critical business periods, and significantly reduced medical-related leadership disruption.
The economic case for this evolution is compelling when companies calculate the true cost of suboptimal executive performance. Research indicates that most senior leaders lose 10-15 hours of peak cognitive function weekly due to addressable biological factors including hormone imbalances, cellular energy depletion, and inflammatory burden. At executive compensation levels, this productivity loss often exceeds the total cost of comprehensive optimization programs.
Military-Proven Protocols Applied to Corporate Leadership
Dr. Brucker’s approach applies systematic performance optimization principles developed through decades of maintaining elite military operators at peak capacity under extreme conditions. Military special operations never relied on generic wellness programs—they employed sophisticated biological optimization protocols tailored to individual performance demands and mission requirements.
“The same principles that enabled Navy SEALs to maintain cognitive clarity during extended high-stress operations apply directly to executives making critical decisions during demanding business periods,” Dr. Brucker explained. “Peak performance requires systematic biological optimization, not just generic health maintenance.”
Margaret Brucker, PA-C, who directs clinical operations with 30 years of experience and fellowship certification in anti-aging medicine, emphasizes the corporate applications: “We consistently see executives regain cognitive stamina, decision-making consistency, and stress tolerance that directly translate to improved business outcomes. Companies report that optimized leadership teams make fewer costly strategic errors and maintain superior performance during critical periods.”
Advanced Diagnostics Replace Basic Screening
The corporate wellness evolution includes diagnostic sophistication unavailable in traditional employee health programs. While conventional workplace screening checks basic markers designed to catch obvious disease, Dr. Brucker’s protocols evaluate hundreds of variables affecting executive cognitive performance: comprehensive hormone optimization, NAD+ cellular energy assessment, inflammatory cytokine analysis, cortisol rhythm mapping, genetic testing for performance vulnerabilities, and advanced screening for developing health issues years before conventional detection.
These diagnostics consistently reveal correctable performance limitations that standard wellness programs never identify, enabling targeted interventions that produce measurable improvements in leadership effectiveness.
Las Vegas: Corporate Wellness Innovation Center
Las Vegas has emerged as the epicenter of corporate wellness innovation due to unique market factors that accelerate both demand and results. The city’s concentration of high-performance business environments, extreme climate conditions, and 24/7 operational demands create perfect conditions for demonstrating the limitations of traditional wellness approaches and the effectiveness of executive optimization protocols.
Companies with significant Las Vegas operations have been early adopters because the city’s demanding environment makes the performance gaps between optimized and unoptimized executives particularly visible.
Future of Corporate Wellness
As competition for executive talent intensifies, companies implementing sophisticated biological optimization programs gain measurable advantages in recruitment and retention. Traditional benefits packages become inadequate compared to comprehensive health optimization that extends executive career longevity and maintains peak performance throughout demanding roles.
The transformation reflects broader recognition that executive health directly impacts corporate performance, making biological optimization essential business infrastructure rather than luxury benefit provision.
About LV Longevity Lab
LV Longevity Lab specializes in transforming corporate wellness through executive-focused biological optimization programs. Founded and directed by Dr. Wallace Brucker, MD, the practice combines military-proven performance optimization techniques with advanced longevity medicine to deliver measurable improvements in leadership effectiveness, cognitive function, and executive career longevity. Corporate programs integrate seamlessly with existing benefits infrastructure while providing unprecedented value for talent retention and organizational performance.

Nermine Al Hossary is more than a name; she is a story of resilience, ambition, and authenticity. Her recent recognition by UAE Stories with the prestigious award for “Inspiring Through Influence and Authenticity” is not just a personal triumph, but also an acknowledgment of her ability to touch lives, inspire change, and showcase the true meaning of modern influence.
Her journey is not a fairy tale built overnight. It is a tale of persistence, self-belief, and hard work. From a young girl mesmerized by the glamour of fashion shows to a leading content creator, digital marketing expert, and entrepreneur in the UAE, Nermine’s story is one that motivates dreamers across the region and beyond.
From Childhood Dreams to Recognized Influence
As a child, Nermine was fascinated by the world of fashion. For her, modeling was not simply a playful hobby but a dream she longed to bring to life. Fashion shows, glamorous runways, and the sparkle of creativity deeply inspired her young imagination.
Her move to the UAE marked a turning point. Surrounded by opportunity, cultural diversity, and vibrant energy, she began to envision a path where her passions could transform into purpose. This dynamic environment not only nurtured her aspirations but also challenged her to think beyond boundaries.
Nermine’s recognition today is the result of years of effort, resilience, and learning. The UAE became the backdrop where her dreams began to mature into tangible achievements, eventually leading her to the spotlight of UAE Stories.
Mastering the Digital World with Authenticity
While fashion was her first love, it was the digital space where Nermine truly found her voice. She immersed herself in the world of marketing, advertising, andcontent creation, mastering every detail of the craft. She worked on scriptwriting, filming, voice overs, editing, and social media strategy, building a complete set of skills that set her apart from many others.
What makes Nermine unique is her commitment to authenticity. In a digital world often criticized for filters and pretences, she has always prioritized real stories and genuine emotions. Every video, post, and campaign she delivers reflects her creativity, professionalism, and determination to connect on a deeper level with her audience.
Her ability to blend creativity with strategy allowed her to rise above the noise of social media. More importantly, it was this dedication to real influence that earned her the “Inspiring Through Influence and Authenticity” award.
Building Awareness and Empowering Communities
Nermine has always believed that influence must be tied to impact. She has used her platform to champion social causes, particularly in health awareness. One of her proudest contributions has been her active role in breast cancer awareness campaigns. Through events, seminars, and online content, she spread the crucial message of early detection and preventive care.
For her, raising awareness is not about recognition but responsibility. She views her voice and platform as tools to educate and empower women to take control of their health and wellbeing. In doing so, she has gone beyond being a content creator and has become an advocate for positive change.
Her award also recognizes this dimension of her work, reminding us that true influence is measured not in numbers but in lives touched and awareness created.
Overcoming Challenges with Courage
Behind the glamour of her achievements lies a story of struggle and strength. Nermine’s path was not always smooth. Traveling abroad, navigating new cultures, and pursuing her passions as a woman in a traditionally conservative context demanded resilience and courage.
There were moments of uncertainty, obstacles of adaptation, and challenges of balancing responsibilities. Yet, instead of allowing these to slow her down, she embraced them as lessons. Each struggle became an opportunity to learn and grow, molding her into the strong and confident woman she is today.
Her courage to step outside her comfort zone not only transformed her own life but also became a source of inspiration for others. Her story tells dreamers everywhere that courage is the key to unlocking potential.
A Dream in Motion: Launching Her Brand
Currently, Nermine is working on what she calls her most ambitious project yet, launching her very own brand. This venture represents years of learning, creativity, and determination. It is not just a business for her, but a dream in motion a reflection of her values, imagination, and entrepreneurial spirit.
The UAE’s supportive ecosystem for creators and entrepreneurs has given her the foundation to build this brand. For Nermine, the project is not about entering the market, but about offering something that reflects authenticity, passion, and innovation. It is a bold step forward, and one that perfectly complements her recognition by UAE Stories.
The Secret of Her Strength: Self Belief
If there is one quality that defines Nermine, it is her unwavering self-belief. She has always emphasized that success is not measured by external validation but by the ability to inspire and connect with people.
Her journey is rooted in three pillars: confidence, determination, and resilience. She shows that these qualities can turn dreams into reality, no matter the hurdles. More importantly, she defines her achievements by the positive impact she leaves behind. For her, real success is about motivating others to embrace their paths and never give up.
Looking Ahead: A Vision Without Borders
Nermine’s story does not end with an award or even with the launch of her brand. She envisions a future filled with travel, exploration, and cross-cultural experiences. She aspires to bring stories from around the world, learning and sharing with her audience on a global scale.
She wants to be remembered not just as a successful influencer or entrepreneur, but as a woman who believed in herself and encouraged others to do the same. Her advice to young dreamers is powerful in its simplicity:
“Believe in yourself. Keep going despite obstacles. Work hard, remain proud of your journey, and never stop chasing your dreams.”
Why This Award Matters
The award from UAE Stories is more than recognition. It is a symbol of what Nermine represents authentic influence, meaningful engagement, and positive impact. It celebrates her as:
A dreamer who turned childhood fascination into a career
A skilled content creator who prioritizes storytelling over numbers
A changemaker using her platform for awareness and empowerment
A resilient woman who faced challenges with strength and grace
An entrepreneur building her own brand with vision and passion
For aspiring creators, professionals, and dreamers, her journey serves as a powerful reminder that true influence is born from authenticity, courage, and self belief.
Final Takeaway
Nermine Al Hossary’s award for “Inspiring Through Influence and Authenticity” is a tribute to her extraordinary journey. From the fashion dreams of her childhood to her success as a digital creator and entrepreneur in the UAE, she has remained true to herself while continuously evolving.
Her life today is a blend of creativity, responsibility, and ambition. She inspires through her lifestyle, her struggles, her achievements, and her current projects. More importantly, she continues to show that influence is not about fame, but about authenticity and impact.
As she steps into her next chapter, Nermine carries with her the same message she has always shared believe in yourself, embrace your journey, and never stop dreaming.
Estonia, 21st February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, AgriFi, the blockchain-based agricultural finance ecosystem built on the Polygon network, has introduced its structured DeFi staking framework designed to align blockchain rewards with measurable agricultural productivity.
Unlike conventional yield farming systems that rely primarily on token emissions, AgriFi’s staking architecture operates under what it defines as a Fair Yield Economy, where participation rewards are linked to ecosystem performance rooted in real farming activity.
This milestone reflects AgriFi’s 2026 objective of building a transparent Agricultural DeFi infrastructure where digital finance mechanisms are anchored to productive land, verified farm data, and operational revenue.
Redefining DeFi Staking Around Real Economic Output
Most staking systems in decentralized finance are structured around supply expansion or liquidity mining incentives. While these models can drive participation, they are often disconnected from real-world productivity.
AgriFi’s architecture introduces a structurally different framework.
The AGF token, an ERC 20 asset operating on Polygon with a fully circulating supply of 7.2 billion tokens, functions within a broader agricultural finance ecosystem. Staking is not positioned as speculative yield farming. Instead, it operates as a structured participation layer linked to ecosystem performance.
The underlying principle is straightforward:
Blockchain rewards should reflect measurable economic activity.
Within AgriFi’s model, that activity originates from agricultural production, farmland participation structures, and ecosystem-level revenue logic.
How AgriFi’s Blockchain Staking & Profit Model Works
Staking Module
Token holders can lock their AGF tokens for periods ranging from 30 to 360 days, earning competitive yields of 5%–18% APY. Smart contracts automatically calculate rewards based on staking duration and redistribute them directly to users’ wallets. An early exit penalty of 2% ensures long-term ecosystem stability and consistent capital flow.
Profit Distribution Module
Beyond staking, AgriFi’s Profit Distribution Module converts farm revenues, such as crop sales and lease income, into stablecoins (e.g., USDC) and allocates them proportionally to AGF holders. This creates a dual-income structure where investors benefit from both DeFi yield and real-world agricultural profits.
This establishes a dual participation structure where AGF holders may engage in both staking mechanics and agricultural performance participation, subject to ecosystem conditions.
All distribution logic is governed by smart contracts and remains on-chain and verifiable.
Transparency Through Smart Contracts: All staking data, farm yields, and revenue flows are verifiable on the Polygon blockchain, ensuring full traceability from the field to the token holder.
Farmer Capital Access: By enabling fractional investment through tokenized farmland, AgriFi allows farmers to raise funds transparently while sharing returns with global stakeholders.
From Field Performance to On-Chain Reward Logic
The defining strength of AgriFi’s staking model lies in its economic linkage between agriculture and blockchain.
The ecosystem architecture operates across three primary layers:
Blockchain Layer Records token ownership, staking participation, governance logic, and smart contract execution.
Business Logic Layer Manages farmland tokenization structures, allocation formulas, and reward calculations.
Off-Chain Operational Layer Integrates agricultural activity, farm management systems, and IoT data inputs.
Revenue generated through agricultural activities and ecosystem participation influences the broader performance logic of the platform. That performance logic informs the sustainability and allocation of staking rewards.
In simplified structural terms:
Farm productivity influences ecosystem revenue Ecosystem revenue influences distribution capacity Distribution capacity influences staking sustainability
This framework establishes a direct pathway between real agricultural output and decentralized finance participation.
Importantly, staking returns are performance-linked and ecosystem dependent. They are not fixed-income guarantees. This distinction preserves structural integrity and regulatory clarity.
Agricultural DeFi Within the Real World Asset Movement
The tokenization of real world assets has become one of the defining themes in decentralized finance. Treasury instruments, real estate, and private credit have gained attention. Agriculture, despite being foundational to global economic stability, has remained structurally underrepresented.
AgriFi’s staking framework introduces a clear model for integrating agricultural productivity into DeFi reward mechanics.
Rather than treating farmland as a static digital token, the ecosystem embeds agricultural output into staking participation, governance structures, and ecosystem incentives.
This approach positions agricultural finance as a distinct and credible category within the broader real world asset evolution.
Infrastructure Built for Accessibility
Operating on Polygon enables low transaction costs and high throughput. Wallet compatibility includes MetaMask and WalletConnect, allowing participants to engage directly with staking contracts.
All staking logic remains on chain and independently verifiable, reinforcing transparency and trust.
About Agrifi
Agrifi is driving an agricultural revolution, harnessing blockchain technology to transform the agricultural supply chain. Our mission is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in agriculture while empowering farmers and supporting small-scale agricultural practices.
Join us on this exciting journey to explore the future of agriculture while potentially enhancing the value of your AGF tokens. We’re not just redefining agricultural finance; we’re revolutionizing the future of farming and food production.

Bernardo Arsuaga Cardenas of Monterrey, Mexico breaks down key trends shaping how we work, create, and tell stories in a changing world.
Monterrey, Mexico, 21st February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Award-winning filmmaker and storyteller Bernardo Arsuaga Cardenas is highlighting several recent trends that are affecting individuals across industries, careers, and communities. Drawing from his own experience moving from law to documentary filmmaking, Bernardo offers insight into what these trends mean for everyday people and how they can respond with practical action.
Trend 1: Creative Work Is Becoming More Accessible — and More Competitive
More people than ever are creating videos, podcasts, short films, and digital content. Easy online tools and platforms mean anyone can publish, but that also means more noise and more competition for attention.
More than 90% of internet users watch video content weekly.
Independent creators now number in the tens of millions worldwide.
In Bernardo’s words, “A good story opens doors, but only if someone takes the time to tell it right.”
Trend 2: Storytelling Is More Valuable Than Ever in Work and Life
Across fields, the ability to communicate clearly has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a core skill. Whether pitching an idea, presenting a project, or sharing a life experience, strong storytelling builds connection.
“My goal in filmmaking is to make people sit down, forget about themselves, and enjoy a story,” Bernardo says. Simple, relatable narratives resonate.
Trend 3: People Are Seeking Depth Over Distraction
There’s a growing desire for meaningful content that helps people reflect, learn, or feel something real. Short, surface-level content still grows fast, but deeper work earns lasting engagement.
Bernardo believes this reflects a need for substance: “Ideas die when they stay abstract. Plans keep them alive.”
Trend 4: Collaboration Across Fields Fuels Opportunity
People who work with others outside their comfort zone — different industries, backgrounds, or skill sets — open unexpected doors. Bernardo’s collaborations with musicians, chefs, and athletes demonstrate how cross-disciplinary work expands audience reach.
What This Means for You — in Plain Language
These trends show that while tools are easy to access, real influence comes from clarity of idea and consistency of effort. Bernardo puts it simply: “Finish what you start, even if it’s imperfect.” When you invest time into a clear story, idea, or skill — and share it with others — you build value that lasts beyond trends.
Your Next 7 Days — Actions You Can Take This Week
Write a short narrative (about your week, a project, or a goal) and share it with someone.
Watch one long-form documentary instead of scrolling social media.
Pick one idea you’ve put off and write a first step.
Talk to a neighbor or colleague about something they’re passionate about.
Record a short video sharing something you learned recently.
Organize your notes or sketches into one simple outline.
Attend a local event — even online — that focuses on creativity or craft.
Your Next 90 Days — Longer Actions for Growth
Start a storytelling project (journal, mini documentary, blog, or podcast).
Build a small network of collaborators — aim for three people in different fields.
Learn one new tool (editing software, audio recorder, design app) and use it weekly.
Host or co-host a community screening or talk about a local issue.
Set a weekly reflection habit — review what worked, what didn’t, and your next step.Call to Action
Start now. Pick one action — big or small — and take the first step today. Whether you write a paragraph, record a voice memo, or have a meaningful conversation, momentum begins with action.
