Sri Lanka Bar Smoke & Bitters Honoured With Coveted Michter’s Art Of Hospitality Award As Part Of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026

The acclaimed island bar becomes the first Sri Lankan venue to receive this prestigious hospitality award

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -  Media OutReach Newswire - 30 June 2026 – Sri Lanka's celebrated coastal venue  Smoke & Bitters has been named winner of the  Michter's Art of Hospitality Award in the run-up to Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026. 
  Voted for by more than 300 members of the Asia's 50 Best Bars Academy, this award recognises an establishment that has delivered exceptional hospitality over the past 18 months, setting a new benchmark for guest experience across the region. 
  Located on Pehembiya Beach in Dikwella on Sri Lanka's southern coast, Smoke & Bitters has risen steadily since opening in January 2020. In 2025, it ranked No.14 on Asia's 50 Best Bars and No.67 on the extended list of The World's 50 Best Bars, becoming the first bar in Sri Lanka to feature on the global ranking. The venue has also been named The Best Bar in Sri Lanka on the Asia's 50 Best Bars list for four consecutive years. 
  The brainchild of co-founders Don Ranasinghe and Lahiru Perera, Smoke & Bitters was created to showcase Sri Lanka's culinary heritage and ingredients through a contemporary cocktail and dining experience. Their commitment to authenticity means all dishes are cooked using traditional wood fire – either smoked or chargrilled – as signified by 'Smoke' in the name, while 'Bitters' reflects bitters from indigenous Sri Lankan herbs and spices which dominate a cocktail menu inspired by myriad global cultures. 
  Beyond its culinary and cocktail philosophy, hospitality lies at the core of the Smoke & Bitters experience. Reflecting Sri Lanka's culture of warmth and generosity, the team delivers service that is relaxed yet attentive, creating an easy-going beachfront setting where guests feel genuinely welcomed. This balance of informality and care has become a defining feature of the bar and underpins its recognition with the Michter's Art of Hospitality Award. 
  The drinks menu draws inspiration from early Tiki pioneers while integrating local ingredients and techniques. Signature serves such as the Bananarama combine smoked wild bee honey with Rockland arrack, banana peel, falernum and smoked hellfire bitters, reflecting the bar's flair for layering smoke and spice. The playful Mai Chai blends Ceylon chai tea with rum, triple sec, spiced orgeat and chai syrup, lifted by elemakule tiki bitters, while Pani Like Dodang balances Sri Lankan sweet orange and gin with ginger honey, triple sec, salt and pepper, mint and orange bitters. The bar has become recognised for its ingredient-led cocktails built around seasonal local produce such as rambutan, mangosteen and woodapple, underscoring its commitment to celebrating Sri Lanka's natural bounty. 
  Emma Sleight, Director of Content & Creative for Asia's 50 Best Bars, says: "Smoke & Bitters has played a pivotal role in redefining perceptions of Sri Lanka's bar scene. Its commitment to local ingredients, open-fire cooking and heartfelt hospitality creates an experience that feels both deeply personal and globally relevant. Congratulations to Don, Lahiru and the entire team on this well-deserved recognition." 
  Don Ranasinghe & Lahiru Perera, Co-Founders of Smoke & Bitters say: "It's honestly pretty crazy to receive the Michter's Art of Hospitality Award and see Sri Lankan hospitality being recognised on this level. We've always believed there's something really special about the way people welcome and look after you on our island, so this means a huge amount not just to our team, but to the wider hospitality community in Sri Lanka as well. From day one, Smoke & Bitters has been about creating a warm, relaxed space genuinely rooted in our culture—so to be recognised for our hospitality is incredibly meaningful." 
  Matt Magliocco, Executive Vice President for Michter's, says: "Congratulations to Don Ranasinghe, Lahiru Perera, and the entire Smoke & Bitters team on winning the Art of Hospitality Award. Smoke & Bitters has become recognised as a destination for thoughtful hospitality, and we're delighted to celebrate this well-deserved achievement." 
  The Michter's Art of Hospitality Award is the first of two special accolades to be announced ahead of the 11th edition of Asia's 50 Best Bars, sponsored by Perrier. The 2026 edition will culminate in a live awards ceremony at Wynn Palace, Macau on 28 July, featuring a red-carpet celebration and the official unveiling of The Best Bar in Asia 2026. 
  This year's programme is designed to encourage dialogue and creative exchange within the drinks industry, with curated events such as the Bartenders' Feast, highlighting Macau's vibrant food and beverage culture, and Meet the Bartenders, an intimate media roundtable. The ceremony will also be livestreamed on the 50 Best  YouTube channel, allowing bar professionals and enthusiasts around the world to take part virtually.

Elevated Roofing Highlights Warranty Responsibilities

STOCKTON, IL - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Elevated Roofing Inc. is drawing attention to written roof coverage terms as more homeowners review long-term protection before approving residential roofing projects. The company said warranty language, workmanship guarantees, transfer rules, and homeowner maintenance responsibilities are often misunderstood during the estimate process, even though those details can affect what happens years after installation.
The company said confusion often begins with the way the words warranty and guarantee are used. A manufacturer warranty generally refers to written coverage tied to roofing materials, while a workmanship guarantee typically refers to the contractor’s written promise regarding installation-related workmanship. Both can matter, but they do not always cover the same issues, follow the same process, or last for the same period.

“A guarantee should feel personal, but it still needs to be written clearly,” said Matthew Acevedo, owner of Elevated Roofing Inc. “When a contractor talks about workmanship, that usually means the installation side of the roof. When a manufacturer talks about a warranty, that is usually tied to the product. Homeowners need to understand both before they compare one proposal to another.”
Elevated Roofing provides written workmanship coverage along with manufacturer-backed material protection on qualifying residential roofing systems. The company’s written coverage details explain how material coverage, workmanship protection, coverage tiers, and transfer rules can differ.
The contractor said transferability is an important detail for homeowners who may sell their property in the future. A transferable warranty or guarantee can provide added confidence for a later buyer, but transfer rules are not automatic across all roofing systems. Some coverage may require written notification, documentation, or completion within a specific timeframe after the property changes ownership.
Coverage also depends on how roofing concerns are handled after installation. Elevated Roofing said homeowners may need to report issues promptly, protect the property from further damage when active leaking occurs, keep gutters clear, address visible algae, and follow recommendations after an inspection identifies a concern. Delayed action after a known issue may affect whether later damage is treated as covered or as neglect.
“The problem is not always the fine print itself. The problem is when nobody explains it until something has already gone wrong,” Acevedo said. “A homeowner should not find out what a workmanship guarantee means for the first time after water is already inside the house.”
The company pointed to algae protection as one example of a detail homeowners may overlook. Some roofing products include algae-resistant features, but algae-related protection may be shorter than the full material term. If growth appears and continues spreading without maintenance, the resulting condition may fall outside the original protection. Early shingle deterioration, loose shingles, lifted tabs, exposed flashing, or post-storm roof concerns may also need timely documentation and review.
Elevated Roofing said the cause of a roof issue matters. A missing shingle, for example, may be related to installation, product performance, existing roof condition, repair timing, or severe weather. The company said homeowners should avoid assuming every issue falls under the same type of protection, especially after high winds, hail, freeze-thaw conditions, or emergency repairs.
The company said homeowners should also understand the first steps to take when a leak or visible roof concern appears. In most situations, the installing contractor should be contacted promptly so the issue can be documented and reviewed under the workmanship terms. If the damage appears related to hail, wind, falling debris, or another sudden event, the homeowner may also need to contact the insurance carrier.
When responsibility is unclear, written records can help reduce confusion. Photos, contracts, manufacturer paperwork, inspection notes, repair records, and communication history may help separate workmanship questions from material concerns, storm damage, or maintenance-related issues. If a disagreement cannot be resolved directly, homeowners may consider contacting the manufacturer, insurance carrier, a qualified third-party inspector, the Better Business Bureau, the appropriate state consumer protection office, or a qualified legal professional.
The contractor also said company stability should be part of the coverage discussion. A long workmanship term has limited value if the contractor is difficult to reach, no longer operating, or not established in the area when a homeowner needs support. Elevated Roofing encourages homeowners to review written terms, contractor history, licensing, insurance, local presence, and documentation standards before choosing a roofing company.
The topic also connects to estimate review. Elevated Roofing previously published an estimate comparison guide that encourages homeowners to compare more than the total price of a roofing proposal. The company said warranty language, workmanship terms, material coverage, cleanup, disposal, flashing, underlayment, and payment terms should be evaluated together because a cheaper estimate may not include the same long-term protection.


Elevated Roofing Inc. is a residential roofing contractor serving homeowners in Northwest Illinois, Northeast Iowa, and nearby communities. The company focuses on roof replacement, repair, inspection, storm-related documentation, and written project communication for residential roofing customers. More information is available through the company’s roofing resources.

Search Influence Celebrates 20th Anniversary as ROI-Focused Digital Marketing Agency

NEW ORLEANS, LA - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Search Influence, a New Orleans-based digital marketing agency specializing in SEO, AI search optimization, and paid digital advertising, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Founded in 2006 by Will Scott and Angie Scott, the woman-owned firm has spent two decades helping higher education institutions, healthcare organizations, and hospitality brands reach their audiences and demonstrate return on every marketing dollar spent.
The SEO agency launched in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, helping a local chiropractor restore his practice through organic search visibility. That early result established the principle that has continued to guide Search Influence: connect the right audience to the right business, measure what it produces, and results follow.

That commitment to measurable outcomes has defined the agency through every major shift in digital marketing. Search Influence built its reputation on revenue attribution at a time when most agencies were still reporting on clicks, developing analytics frameworks that traced campaigns to actual business outcomes for clients, including cultural institutions, universities, and healthcare providers across the country. That accountability standard has shaped every client engagement since.
The digital advertising agency has also contributed to the broader search marketing field. Will Scott, who has led Search Influence as CEO since its founding, introduced strategic concepts such as “Barnacle SEO” that were adopted widely across the industry, served as a founding faculty member of LocalU to help define best practices in local search, and guided the agency into paid search and social media advertising ahead of most competitors. Search Influence has held Google Premier Partner status, a designation earned by a small percentage of agencies based on performance and product expertise, and today works with clients nationwide and in its home market, New Orleans.
"Starting a company is a leap of faith. Keeping it going for twenty years is a team effort," said Angie Scott, COO and co-founder of Search Influence. "We've had remarkable clients and a remarkable team. That's not something you take for granted."
"Get the right people to find you, and the rest follows,” said Will Scott, CEO and co-founder of Search Influence. “That was true in 2006, and it's still true now as search moves toward AI-generated results and new discovery platforms. What changes is how we get there."
Today, Search Influence helps clients navigate an evolving search world that increasingly includes AI-generated results, large language model (LLM) recommendations, and emerging discovery surfaces alongside traditional search engines. The same methodology that defined the agency's analytics work in its early years now drives its approach to AI SEO, ensuring clients appear where their audiences are actually searching.
The agency is marking its anniversary with a year-long campaign documenting the milestones that shaped its first two decades, available at 20years.searchinfluence.com. For more information about Search Influence and its services, visit searchinfluence.com.

IntroDrink plant compounds represent a significant portion of the expanded catalog, with the company offering curcumin, rhodiola, maca, and various medicinal mushroom extracts including reishi and lion's mane. These botanical ingredients have been selected based on their traditional use in wellness practices and emerging scientific research supporting their potential health benefits.
The Swiss wellness market has experienced substantial growth in recent years, with consumers seeking transparent, high-quality nutritional supplements that align with natural health philosophies. IntroDrink's product curation focuses on bioavailability and purity, ensuring that each supplement meets stringent quality standards while maintaining natural integrity.
Beyond traditional supplements, the company has broadened its offerings to include natural cosmetics, featuring tallow-based skincare products, Aleppo soap, and various plant oils such as argan and jojoba. This diversification reflects a holistic approach to wellness that encompasses both internal and external health support.
IntroDrink detox products have gained particular attention among health-conscious Swiss consumers seeking to support their body's natural cleansing processes. The detoxification category includes specialized formulations combining multiple plant extracts, such as liver support complexes containing nine different botanical ingredients, as well as single-ingredient options like zeolite and bentonite clay.
The company's commitment to education accompanies its product expansion, with IntroDrink providing science-based health content to help consumers make informed decisions about their wellness routines. This educational approach addresses the growing consumer desire for transparency and understanding regarding supplement ingredients and their mechanisms of action.
Adaptogenic herbs and functional mushrooms represent another growing category within IntroDrink's expanded range. Products featuring ashwagandha, cordyceps, and ginkgo biloba cater to consumers seeking natural stress management and cognitive support solutions. These offerings align with current wellness trends emphasizing mental health and stress resilience.
The expansion also includes specialized bundles designed for specific health goals, including immune support, beauty enhancement, detoxification, and energy optimization. These curated combinations provide consumers with comprehensive wellness solutions that address multiple health aspects simultaneously.

Legacy at Veramendi Apartments: Now Leasing in New Braunfels, TX

June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
NE Property Management is proud to announce that Legacy at Veramendi Apartments is now open and actively leasing at 150 Word Parkway in New Braunfels, Texas. Located within the Veramendi master-planned community, the property gives residents direct access to both San Antonio and Austin via Loop 337.
Legacy at Veramendi features 324 apartments across 11 residential buildings, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 583 to 1,375 square feet. Developed by NE Development and professionally managed by NE Property Management, the community is owned and operated under a single ownership structure, with management handled directly by the development group rather than a third-party firm.

Select units include private yards, wrap-around balconies, and Hill Country views. According to CoStar Group, the majority of apartment inventory in the New Braunfels submarket consists of garden-style communities without private outdoor spaces or elevated view corridors.
New Braunfels has ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States for several consecutive years, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The city's population has more than doubled since 2010, driven in part by residents relocating from San Antonio and Austin in search of lower costs and more space. Veramendi is a master-planned development designed to accommodate that growth, with infrastructure built around walkability, green space, and long-term neighborhood livability. Legacy at Veramendi is among the first residential communities to open within the development.
The property sits along Loop 337 with access to walking trails, green spaces, and planned neighborhood retail within the Veramendi community. Nearby destinations include historic downtown New Braunfels, the Gruene Historic District, and the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers.
"New Braunfels is growing quickly, and the demand for housing that fits the character of this area is real," said Laurie Frias, VP of Marketing at NE Property Management. "We are focused on professional management and making the leasing and move-in process straightforward for residents."
Each unit includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood-style flooring, spacious closets, and full-size washers and dryers.
Residents have access to community amenities that include:
Pool with cabanas and outdoor lounge areas
24-hour fitness center with personal fitness
with billiards, shuffleboard, and an indoor fireplace
Coworking and social spaces
Legacy at Veramendi is pet-inclusive with no breed or size restrictions. On-site pet amenities include two dog parks and an enclosed, air-conditioned pet spa.
Residents also receive a complimentary membership to the Tejas River Club, which includes weekly riverside yoga and private events throughout the year.


Legacy at Veramendi is currently accepting applications. Pricing varies by floor plan and unit. Prospective residents should contact the leasing office directly at 830-490-0989 or visit legacyatveramendi.com for current rates, availability, and lease terms.

Draydex And DrayMate Announce New TMS Integration

June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Draydex™ has announced a new integration with DrayMate that gives drayage carriers access to live market benchmark rate data directly inside the DrayMate transportation management system. The integration connects Draydex rate intelligence with a TMS used by ocean and rail drayage carriers for dispatch, container tracking, invoicing, driver communication, and fleet operations.
The announcement reflects a partnership between two transportation technology companies serving a market where pricing, timing, accessorial charges, and container visibility remain major operating concerns. By placing rate lookup inside DrayMate, the integration is intended to reduce the need for carrier teams to rely on separate systems when reviewing lane pricing.

“Drayage pricing can be difficult to evaluate when teams are working from disconnected systems,” said Bob Mayo, CEO at Draydex. “This integration is about putting market rate data closer to the decision point. Carriers using DrayMate can review benchmark pricing while they are already managing the operational details around a move.”
DrayMate is a cloud-based TMS built for ocean and rail drayage carriers and container service providers. Its software supports dispatch, container track and trace, invoicing, customer visibility, and driver and fleet management. With the Draydex connection, rate lookup becomes part of the same operating environment where carrier teams are already handling container movement and customer communication.
The companies said the integration also addresses an education gap around benchmark rate data. Many carriers compare lane pricing against internal tariffs, direct customer rates, or familiar historical lane prices. Benchmark figures can reflect broader market context, including pricing assumptions or markup considerations, which may make the number appear different from a base carrier rate.
Mayo said that distinction is important for carriers reviewing market data.
“Benchmark pricing is familiar to many brokers and intermediaries, but carriers often view the number through a different lens,” said Mayo. “They are thinking about trucks, drivers, lanes, operating costs, and margin. The value is not just seeing a rate. The value is understanding what is included in that rate and how it compares to what is happening in the market.”
A representative at DrayMate said the integration reflects the company’s focus on practical tools for drayage carriers. “DrayMate users manage time-sensitive container work throughout the day. Bringing Draydex rate data into that environment gives carriers another layer of visibility without requiring another separate platform check.”
The announcement comes as drayage operators continue to manage a complex mix of port and rail conditions, appointment timing, equipment availability, billing details, and customer expectations. Smaller and mid-sized carriers can be especially affected by fragmented pricing workflows because administrative teams are often responsible for quoting, dispatch coordination, invoicing, and customer updates at the same time.
Draydex said the partnership with DrayMate is part of a broader effort to make its market rate data available through transportation management systems and related logistics platforms. The company is seeking additional TMS integration partners that want to make drayage rate intelligence available inside their own user environments.
The company said future integrations may help more brokers, carriers, forwarders, and shippers access pricing data in the systems they already use. According to Draydex, the goal is not to replace existing transportation software, but to make rate information easier to access during quoting, planning, and lane evaluation.
Draydex™ is a drayage software and rate management platform built to help brokers, forwarders, shippers, and drayage carriers access market rate data, carrier information, and drayage pricing tools. The platform provides rate visibility, accessorial fee information, carrier comparisons, and integration options for companies involved in intermodal transportation.

Pleasant Vine Home Care in Wilmington, DE Encourages Families to Keep Seniors Safe and Included During Fourth of July Celebrations

WILMINGTON, DE - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Pleasant Vine Home Care in Wilmington, DE, is encouraging families to take extra steps to ensure older adults can safely enjoy the celebration of the nation's history while remaining comfortable, healthy, and connected.
As Independence Day approaches, families throughout Wilmington and the surrounding Delaware communities are preparing to gather for barbecues, parades, fireworks displays, and other holiday traditions.

For many seniors, holiday gatherings represent treasured opportunities to reconnect with family and friends. However, summer heat, crowded events, loud fireworks, and changes to daily routines can present unique challenges for older adults, particularly those living with chronic health conditions, mobility limitations, hearing difficulties, or cognitive impairment. Taking a few thoughtful precautions can help create an enjoyable experience while reducing unnecessary risks.
Pleasant Vine Home Care believes that maintaining independence should never mean facing holidays alone. The company provides compassionate, personalized in-home care services that allow seniors throughout the Wilmington area to continue living safely in the comfort of their own homes while remaining actively engaged with the people and traditions that matter most to them.
"Holiday celebrations often create lasting memories across generations, and seniors deserve to be part of those moments," said a company representative for Pleasant Vine Home Care. "Our caregivers understand that quality care extends beyond assisting with daily activities. It also means helping clients participate in family traditions, remain socially connected, and enjoy special occasions safely. We are proud to support families by providing dependable care that promotes dignity, independence, and peace of mind throughout the holiday season."
The Fourth of July often involves extended time outdoors, and Delaware's warm summer temperatures can increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illnesses among older adults. Pleasant Vine Home Care encourages seniors to remain well hydrated throughout the day, seek shade whenever possible, and avoid spending long periods outdoors during the hottest afternoon hours. Wearing lightweight clothing and taking frequent breaks in air-conditioned environments can also help reduce the effects of excessive heat.
Fireworks are another beloved tradition that can create challenges for some older adults. Veterans living with post-traumatic stress, seniors with dementia, and individuals with hearing sensitivities may find loud explosions stressful or disorienting. Families are encouraged to consider quieter viewing locations, provide hearing protection when appropriate, or enjoy televised fireworks displays from the comfort of home if attending public events may become overwhelming.
Holiday gatherings also present an opportunity for family members to check in on the well-being of aging loved ones. Spending time together often allows relatives to notice subtle changes in mobility, memory, nutrition, or overall health that may otherwise go unnoticed. These observations can become valuable conversations that lead to additional support, resources, or home care services designed to help seniors continue living independently.
Pleasant Vine Home Care recognizes that many adult children balance demanding careers, parenting responsibilities, and caregiving for aging parents. Professional in-home care can provide valuable assistance by helping seniors prepare for family visits, assisting with personal care, providing companionship, reminding clients to take medications, preparing nutritious meals, and offering transportation when needed. This support allows families to focus on creating meaningful memories rather than worrying about caregiving responsibilities during holiday celebrations.
The organization also encourages neighbors and community members to remember seniors who may be spending the holiday alone. A simple phone call, short visit, or invitation to share a meal can make a meaningful difference for older adults who may otherwise experience loneliness during a time traditionally centered around family and community. Social connection plays an important role in emotional well-being and can contribute positively to both mental and physical health.
Pleasant Vine Home Care remains committed to serving Wilmington-area families through compassionate, individualized home care that respects each client's unique needs, preferences, and goals. Whether a family requires occasional respite care, daily assistance, companionship, or ongoing personal care, the organization strives to deliver dependable support that enhances quality of life while preserving independence.
As Americans gather to celebrate the freedoms that define the nation, Pleasant Vine Home Care encourages families to remember the generations who helped build the communities they now enjoy. Ensuring that seniors remain safe, included, and cared for during the Fourth of July reflects the values of compassion, respect, and gratitude that the holiday represents.
Families interested in learning more about Pleasant Vine Home Care's personalized in-home care services are encouraged to contact the company to schedule a complimentary consultation. The experienced team works closely with each client and family to develop customized care plans that support independence, safety, and overall well-being throughout every season of the year.
Pleasant Vine Home Care proudly serves seniors and families throughout Wilmington, Delaware, by providing compassionate, reliable non-medical home care services that help older adults remain comfortable in the place they call home.

McCormick Industries Offers Precision Aerospace Machining Services for Critical Flight Components

APPLETON, WI - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
McCormick Industries, an Appleton,WI-based ISO 9001:2015 certified precision manufacturer, has announced the availability of its aerospace machining services to original equipment manufacturers and prime contractors operating in the aviation, defense, and unmanned aerial vehicle sectors. The company provides CNC turning, CNC milling, and Swiss precision machining capabilities engineered to produce flight-critical components within tolerances as tight as ±0.0001 inches.
The aerospace industry imposes demanding standards on precision-machined parts, as components used in aircraft, spacecraft, and UAV systems must perform reliably under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. McCormick Industries has structured its manufacturing operations around meeting those requirements, maintaining a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards and applying those standards across every production run.
Swiss precision CNC machining is among the core aerospace machining services offered by McCormick Industries, enabling the production of small, complex components with an exceptional degree of dimensional accuracy. The company's Swiss-turning equipment accommodates part diameters up to 1.25 inches with roundness tolerances of ±0.00008 inches. Lights-out operation capabilities allow the facility to support both high- and low-volume production runs while maintaining reduced cycle times.
CNC turning services at McCormick Industries are capable of producing aerospace components up to 18.00 inches in length by 1.625 inches in diameter, with equipment featuring up to two high-speed spindles and live tooling for detailed feature work. Diameter and length tolerances of ±0.0001 inches are achieved through the integration of current CNC machines, advanced control systems, and intelligent tooling technology.
The company's CNC milling operations are performed on vertical machining centers with spindle speeds of up to 12,000 RPM and rapid traverse speeds reaching 50 meters per minute. These machining centers support milling, drilling, and tapping processes with positioning accuracy of ±0.0003 inches and repeatability of ±0.0002 inches, accommodating both high- and low-volume aerospace production requirements.
Material selection is a critical factor in aerospace component manufacturing, and McCormick Industries works with a broad range of metals and alloys suited to the performance demands of flight applications. Aluminum alloys, including the 2024 and 7075 series, are widely used for their favorable strength-to-weight ratio, while titanium alloys are selected for high-temperature resistance and structural integrity in advanced aircraft systems. The company also machines heat-resistant superalloys and exotic materials used in jet engine and turbine component manufacturing.
"The aerospace and defense sectors require precision-machined components that meet rigorous specifications with no tolerance for error," said Gary Hermsen, CEO of McCormick Industries. "Our CNC machining capabilities, combined with our ISO 9001:2015 certification, position us to serve OEMs and prime contractors that need reliable, repeatable parts produced to exact aerospace standards."
McCormick Industries has a documented record of completing aerospace and military projects, including the production of custom Swiss-turned trunnions machined on a Cincom K-16E machining center for defense contractors. The company's machinists bring decades of experience to projects involving close-tolerance components for aircraft, satellites, and specialized aviation equipment.
The company's lights-out manufacturing capabilities allow precision machining operations to continue without interruption during off-hours, an operational advantage that supports compressed delivery timelines without compromising dimensional accuracy or surface finish quality. This approach enables McCormick Industries to fulfill orders across a range of production volumes while maintaining consistent part quality throughout each run.
"We understand that aerospace customers cannot accept variability in their machined components," said Hermsen. "Every part that leaves our facility is produced and inspected in accordance with our quality management system, ensuring it meets the specifications required for flight-critical applications."
McCormick Industries serves customers across the aerospace, military, medical, and industrial sectors, applying precision CNC machining processes to complex component geometries that demand accuracy and repeatability. The company's ISO 9001:2015 certification and multi-process capabilities make it a resource for aerospace manufacturers requiring dependable, close-tolerance production at any volume.

Funnel Force, LLC Expands Geofencing Advertising Services for Virginia Businesses Seeking Precision Marketing

ROCKINGHAM, VA - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Funnel Force, LLC, a Virginia-based marketing and media strategy firm, has expanded its location-based advertising capabilities to help local businesses achieve more precise audience targeting through advanced geofencing technology and integrated marketing strategies.
The expansion comes as businesses across Virginia increasingly seek alternatives to broad-reach advertising campaigns that often result in wasted spending. The company's enhanced services combine polygon-based geofencing with programmatic display advertising, connected television, and comprehensive lead generation systems to create more efficient marketing campaigns.
Brent Stone, Partner and Chief Marketing Officer at Funnel Force, LLC, explained that modern location-based advertising has evolved significantly from its early implementations. "Businesses today need more than simple radius targeting around their locations. They need the ability to reach consumers based on actual behaviors and visitation patterns, then continue that engagement across multiple digital channels," Stone said.
The expanded services address common challenges businesses face with traditional advertising approaches. Rather than relying solely on demographic targeting, the company's geofencing technology allows businesses to build audiences based on verified location visits to competitor locations, events, trade shows, and specific venues. These audiences can then be reached through display advertising, streaming television ads, and social media campaigns long after they leave the original location.
According to industry data, programmatic advertising now represents the majority of digital display advertising purchased in the United States, reflecting a broader shift toward data-driven marketing strategies. This trend has accelerated as businesses demand greater accountability and measurable results from their advertising investments.
The company's approach integrates location-based advertising into comprehensive marketing frameworks that support the entire customer journey. Stone noted that successful campaigns recognize that purchasing decisions rarely happen immediately. "Most consumers research their options, read reviews, compare alternatives, and revisit their decision multiple times before making contact with a business. Our goal is to maintain visibility throughout that entire process," he said.
Funnel Force, LLC reports increased demand from Virginia businesses across multiple industries, including financial services, retail, professional services, and healthcare. The company attributes this growth to businesses seeking more transparent reporting and measurable outcomes from their marketing investments.
The expanded services include advanced location intelligence capabilities such as competitor conquest campaigns, shopping behavior targeting, event and venue targeting, and walk-in conversion tracking. These tools allow businesses to measure campaign effectiveness through metrics including website visits, in person visits, click-through rates, view-through attribution, and cost per acquisition.
The company's integrated approach combines geofencing with other digital marketing channels, including search engine optimization, paid social advertising, traditional broadcast and connected television advertising. This multi-channel strategy ensures businesses maintain consistent visibility across the platforms where their target audiences spend time.


Funnel Force, LLC specializes in digital advertising, programmatic display advertising, social media marketing, website development, and lead generation systems. The agency works with businesses both locally in Virginia and nationwide to implement measurable marketing strategies that align advertising efforts with every stage of the customer journey.

Rywen Insulation Inc Highlights Crawl Space Encapsulation Benefits for Bay Area Homeowners

SAN LEANDRO, CA - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Rywen Insulation Inc, a family-owned insulation contractor based in San Leandro, California, emphasizes the importance of crawl space encapsulation as Bay Area homeowners face ongoing challenges with moisture infiltration, mold growth, and energy inefficiency. The company's comprehensive encapsulation services address these concerns through vapor barrier installation and advanced moisture control techniques designed to protect homes throughout the East Bay, Peninsula, and Marin regions.
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the area beneath homes to prevent moisture infiltration that can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and increased energy costs. The process includes installing heavy-duty vapor barriers along floors and walls, sealing vents and openings, and implementing proper drainage systems where necessary. For Bay Area homes, where coastal fog and seasonal rainfall create persistent moisture challenges, encapsulation could provide critical protection against environmental factors that might otherwise compromise home integrity.
The CSLB C-2 licensed contractor (License 1140414) utilizes in-house crews exclusively, ensuring consistent quality control throughout each project. This approach allows the company to maintain strict adherence to California Title 24 energy efficiency standards while providing homeowners with direct accountability for all work performed. Each encapsulation project undergoes a comprehensive seven-day quality follow-up inspection to verify proper installation and address any concerns that might arise after completion.
"Crawl space moisture issues often go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred," stated Roni Galicia of Rywen Insulation Inc. "Through proper encapsulation techniques, homeowners might prevent thousands of dollars in repairs while potentially reducing their energy bills by creating a more controlled environment beneath their homes. Our follow-up inspections ensure that the vapor barriers and sealing work continue performing as expected."
The encapsulation process employed by Rywen Insulation crawl space encapsulation specialists begins with a thorough assessment of existing conditions, including moisture levels, ventilation patterns, and any current damage. Technicians then remove debris and damaged materials before installing commercial-grade vapor barriers that might resist tears and punctures for years. Sealing techniques focus on creating an airtight environment that could significantly reduce moisture infiltration while improving overall home energy efficiency.
Beyond moisture control, properly encapsulated crawl spaces might contribute to improved indoor air quality by preventing mold spores and other contaminants from entering living spaces through floor systems. This consideration proves particularly relevant for Bay Area residents with allergies or respiratory sensitivities who could benefit from reduced exposure to airborne irritants.
The company's service area encompasses San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and surrounding East Bay communities where older housing stock often lacks adequate crawl space protection. Many homes built before modern building codes might experience ongoing moisture problems that encapsulation could help resolve.


Rywen Insulation Inc maintains comprehensive insurance coverage and employs technicians who receive ongoing training in the latest encapsulation technologies and safety protocols. The company's commitment to using in-house crews rather than subcontractors ensures that each project meets established quality standards while providing homeowners with consistent communication throughout the encapsulation process.

Cortes Law Firm Announces Enhanced Estate Planning Resources for Oklahoma City Residents Navigating Probate Complexities

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Cortes Law Firm, a leading estate planning and probate practice in Oklahoma City, announces the expansion of its educational resources to help families better understand and navigate the complexities of Oklahoma probate procedures and estate administration. The firm's initiative comes as many Oklahoma residents face challenges in managing estate matters following the loss of loved ones.
The expanded resources address critical aspects of estate planning, probate administration, and trust management specific to Oklahoma law. With over 25 years of experience in Oklahoma probate law, the firm recognizes the growing need for accessible information about estate planning strategies, will validation, and asset distribution procedures.

"Estate planning and probate processes can be overwhelming for families during already difficult times," said Steve Cortes, lead attorney at Cortes Law Firm. "Our expanded educational resources aim to demystify these procedures and provide Oklahoma City residents with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their estate planning needs."
The comprehensive resources cover six key areas of probate administration: initial consultation requirements, court filing procedures, asset management protocols, debt resolution strategies, distribution guidelines, and estate closure processes. These materials specifically address Oklahoma probate court requirements and state-specific regulations that affect estate administration.
Cortes Law Firm Oklahoma City has observed an increased demand for guidance on topics including revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and special needs trusts. The firm's educational materials now include detailed explanations of inheritance tax implications, noting that while Oklahoma no longer imposes a state estate tax, federal estate tax considerations remain relevant for larger estates exceeding the current exemption threshold.
The firm's approach emphasizes the importance of proper asset titling and beneficiary designations to ensure estate planning documents function as intended. This focus on preventive planning helps families avoid common pitfalls that can complicate probate proceedings and delay asset distribution to rightful heirs.
"Understanding the intersection of estate planning and probate law empowers individuals to protect their assets and provide for their families effectively," added Cortes. "Our goal is to make this knowledge accessible to everyone in our community, regardless of their current estate planning status."
The educational initiative also addresses probate real estate matters, a particularly complex area of Oklahoma law that often requires judicial oversight for property transfers. The resources explain when court orders are necessary and how proper planning can streamline real estate transitions.
Cortes Law Firm serves clients throughout Oklahoma County and surrounding areas, offering services in estate planning, will preparation, trust administration, probate litigation, and estate tax planning. The firm's client-centered approach focuses on developing long-term relationships and providing personalized representation tailored to each family's unique circumstances.

Grow With Us Learning Academy Announces New Freeport Child Care Center Opening Summer 2026

Fort Walton Beach, Florida - June 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Grow With Us Learning Academy has announced plans for a new Freeport daycare location, with an estimated opening in mid-July 2026, extending its reach in the Florida Panhandle to serve more families seeking quality childcare and early education.
The new Freeport facility will offer the academy’s full range of programs — nursery, toddler, preschool, and Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK). Like the academy’s existing locations across Northwest Florida, the Freeport center will implement dual-curriculum approaches designed to deliver comprehensive early education through hands-on learning.
“The decision to expand into Freeport reflects our commitment to meeting growing demand for quality early childhood education in Northwest Florida,” said Emily Johns, Director of Operations at Grow With Us Learning Academy. “Our new facility will give families in Freeport and surrounding communities access to the same research-based curricula and nurturing environment that have made our programs successful across the region.”
The Freeport location will feature age-appropriate learning environments designed to support each stage of a child’s development. The nursery program provides personalized care for infants in a safe, stimulating setting that promotes physical and emotional growth, while the toddler program builds motor skills, language, and social interaction through exploratory activities.
For preschool-aged children, the academy prepares students for kindergarten with activities promoting literacy, numeracy, science exploration, and creative arts. The VPK program aligns with Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards, preparing four-year-olds for academic success through focused development of reading, writing, and social skills.
The academy’s teaching philosophy centers on the belief that children learn best through hands-on experiences and age-appropriate activities. Teachers at the new location are selected for their enthusiasm, creativity, and positive approach, maintaining the standards established across the academy’s facilities.
“Choosing the right childcare provider is one of the most important decisions parents make,” Johns added. “Our expansion into Freeport lets us bring our proven educational approach to more families, ensuring their children receive the foundation they need for future success.”
The announcement comes as demand for quality childcare continues to grow throughout the Florida Panhandle. The new facility will help address the need for accessible early education in the Freeport area while maintaining the academy’s commitment to small class sizes and individualized attention.
Families can learn more, join the interest list, or schedule a tour through the academy’s website or Facebook page.

The nursery program creates a nurturing environment that stimulates infant development, while the toddler program engages children in activities that promote learning through exploration.

The academy’s philosophy centers on the belief that children learn best through hands-on experiences. Teachers implement age-appropriate activities that encourage discovery and engagement, fostering both cognitive and social development, and bring enthusiasm, creativity, and positive reinforcement to every interaction with students.
Beyond its core programs, the academy provides parent resources through its blog, featuring articles on seasonal health tips, choosing the right preschool program, and preparing children for their first day of VPK.
