Huawei and HP Inc. Sign Global Patent Cross-Licensing Agreement

SHENZHEN, CHINA –  Media OutReach Newswire – 26 August 2026 – Today, Huawei and HP Inc. announced the signing of a multiyear global patent cross-licensing agreement, including license to HP Inc. for certain Huawei WiFi patents. This milestone agreement not only reflects the companies' cooperation in the field of intellectual property licensing but also recognizes Huawei's innovation capabilities and core technological strength as well as HP's position as global leader in computers and peripheral equipment. 
       
 Alan Fan, Huawei's Chief Intellectual Property Officer, stated, "Huawei is pleased to reach this patent cross-licensing agreement with HP Inc. This agreement is a strong testament to Huawei's persistent independent innovation in cutting-edge fields in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Through patent licensing, Huawei shares its innovation with the industry, particularly in the area of standardized technologies, which brings leading technological experiences to consumers worldwide." 
  Steven Geiszler, who represented Huawei in the negotiations, stated: "This is another successful licensing of Huawei patents, particularly in the area of standardized Wi-Fi technologies—while obtaining valuable reciprocal patent rights from HP Inc. I appreciate the professionalism and courteousness shown by HP's negotiation team during this project." 
  Wi-Fi has become one of the most widely used wireless technologies in the world, connecting homes, schools, hospitals, offices and public spaces. Each generation of the standard is developed openly, drawing on technical contributions from companies across the industry, and is then made broadly available to implementers. 
  Although lacking the speed and throughput of newer generations, Wi-Fi 4 and 5 are still widely used, providing reliable networking for less demanding applications. 
  High speed, large capacity and lower energy consumption enable Wi-Fi 6 to deliver multiple high-definition video streaming, gaming and AR/VR services alongside legacy broadband and IoT devices such as laptops, refrigerators, cameras, doorbells, thermostats, and lightbulbs—all with a single wireless router. 
  Wi-Fi 7, building on Wi-Fi 6, delivers higher throughput, lower latency, and more reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. These enhancements enable an exceptionally smooth experience for 8K video, gaming, AR/VR, remote work, online video conferencing, and cloud computing. 
  Together, these advances and applications have made reliable wireless connectivity part of the basic infrastructure of everyday life — supporting remote healthcare, digital education, and more energy-efficient homes and workplaces. Huawei has played a significant role in contributing to the development of Wi-Fi technologies over successive generations and makes the resulting technologies available publicly, so that innovation created in one place can benefit users everywhere.

Hardcore Quality Conquers Global Users: GREE Premium RACs Top the 2025 Global Sales

ZHUHAI, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 26 August 2026 - Recently, Frost & Sullivan, a globally renowned market research and consulting firm, awarded GREE Electric Appliances a certificate, recognizing that "GREE Ranked No. 1 Globally by Sales Volume of Premium Residential Air Conditioners in 2025". The certification confirms that, based on research into the global Premium residential air conditioning market and measured by sales revenue from Premium residential air conditioners in 2025, GREE ranked first globally. 
             
                 Certification of Frost & Sullivan      
     
    According to data from Frost & Sullivan, GREE's leading position in the global Premium residential air conditioning market is built upon comprehensive superiority in core product performance. Consumers in the Premium segment do not pay merely for a "higher price tag", instead, they choose products that offer superior usage experiences, more durable and stable operation, and outstanding energy-saving performance. GREE's widespread recognition in this market is fundamentally rooted in its years of deep cultivation in energy efficiency technology, noise reduction technology, and comfortable airflow technologies. These technologies have passed the most demanding user tests across diverse scenarios in different countries and regions.   
   
   Winning recognition in the global premium market ultimately relies on what the product itself says. GREE's reputation for quality among global consumers stems from sustained investments in core technologies, superior user experiences, and user value over many years.   
   
   To address the harsh challenges posed by diverse global climates, GREE independently developed a matrix of core compressor technologies covering all climatic zones. The Timo series, equipped with G-Boost single-stage enthalpy-adding compressors, was specifically developed for extremely hot regions like the Middle East. It remains reliable operation even at ambient temperature of 68℃, achieving non-declining cooling performance at 54℃. The Airy series pioneered the commercialization of ultra-wide frequency rotary compressors, capable of continuous heating for 10 hours without defrosting, improving the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) by 9.5% to 16.7%. The S-cool series, equipped with G-Hyper dual-cylinder two-stage compressors, was crafted for extremely cold regions such as Northern Europe and North America. It operates stably within an ultra-wide temperature range of -40℃ to 54℃, achieving industry breakthroughs of "non-declining heating at -25℃ and non-declining cooling at 46℃". These three compressor technologies provide "all-climate comfort" solutions for users in different climate belts through their respective differentiated technical paths.   
   
                    
                     Picture of G-strom        
           
   In key dimensions of user experience, GREE also addresses consumer pain points with hardcore technology. The newly launched 2026 "Ai Silent King" features GREE's self-developed AI energy-saving chip. Paired with artificial intelligence algorithms, it saves energy from the moment it is turned on, improving annual energy efficiency by 23%. Meanwhile, GREE's SilenzX series air conditioners achieve ultra-low sound pressure levels of just 29 dB(A) for the outdoor unit and 15 dB(A) for the indoor unit—far below the industry average. This achievement earned the Gold Medal at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, marking GREE's leadership in the field of noise reduction technology globally.   
   
   From compressors to whole unit systems, from AI energy saving to quiet technology, GREE has built the core competitiveness of Premium products through solid technological accumulation and continuous innovation breakthroughs, creating truly high-quality air experiences for global users.   
   
   As of July, GREE holds 50 "world-leading" technologies. From residential air conditioners to central air conditioning systems, from single-refrigerant systems to solutions covering all climatic zones, GREE has constructed a complete, autonomous, and controllable technology matrix. It is this systemic innovative capability that allows GREE to maintain rapid response and technical adaptation capabilities in the face of differentiated needs across global markets.   
   
   Currently, GREE products serve more than 190 countries and regions worldwide. By adhering to serving users with core technologies and high-quality service, GREE continues to meet people's pursuit of a better life. Honors are witnesses to the past, and innovation is the eternal coordinate. Standing at a new starting point, GREE Electric Appliances will continue to drive high-quality development through independent innovation, moving from "scale leadership" to "value guidance," and from "Chinese Manufacturing" to "Global Brand", thus achieving "Made in China, Loved by the World".

Executive Fence & Gate Announces Service Expansion

BYRON CENTER, MI - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
New vehicles, installation equipment and a three-partner operating structure support the contractor’s broader service presence.
Executive Fence & Gate has announced an expansion of its service presence across Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Founded in January 2026, the Byron Center contractor provides residential, commercial, industrial and institutional fence and gate services supported by new vehicles, installation equipment and defined leadership roles.

The company was formed after Mike Hoffman and Mike Eaton partnered with Tyler Johnson, whose fencing experience and industry relationships provided its field foundation. The partnership brings together direct fencing knowledge, customer development and operational management.
All three serve as managing partners. Johnson’s responsibilities include field supervision, estimating and project booking. Hoffman focuses on sales and customer development, while Eaton manages operations and project coordination. Johnson’s background includes approximately 20 years of combined experience across fencing, construction and related project work, including previous experience with one of Michigan’s largest fencing companies. His experience spans homes, commercial properties, housing developments, schools, athletic facilities, industrial sites, event venues and custom gate systems.
“Fence projects can look straightforward until grade changes, access points, gate placement or active-site scheduling affect the plan,” said Johnson, managing partner at Executive Fence & Gate. “Direct field experience helps identify those conditions before installation begins. The company’s structure connects accurate estimating with organized field execution and clear communication.”
Residential services include wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain-link fencing for privacy, property boundaries, backyard use and pet or child containment. The company also handles fence replacement and custom residential gates.
Commercial and institutional capabilities include perimeter and security fencing, warehouse enclosures, ornamental aluminum and steel systems, utility screening and custom gates. The contractor also works with schools, athletic facilities, developers, event operators and construction teams that require permanent or temporary fencing around active sites.
Project planning begins with a review of the property’s intended use, access points, grade, gate locations, material requirements and installation timing. For active commercial, industrial, school and event sites, that process may also account for vehicle routes, pedestrian movement, ongoing operations and coordination with other contractors. Residential planning addresses privacy goals, property boundaries, containment needs and connections to existing structures. Carrying those site details from estimating into scheduling helps crews arrive with a clearer understanding of the installation conditions. This review can also identify where temporary access or phased work may be needed to keep other parts of a property in use.
At launch, the company purchased new vehicles and installation equipment to support projects involving different materials, property conditions and access requirements. The partners also established separate responsibilities for estimating, sales, scheduling, operations and field supervision. This structure provides direct oversight from the initial project review through installation.
“Starting with new vehicles and equipment gave the company an operational foundation from the outset,” said Eaton, managing partner at Executive Fence & Gate. “Those resources are supported by defined scheduling, communication and coordination processes. That structure allows the partners to remain directly involved as project activity grows.”
The contractor is bonded and insured, is a member of the American Fence Association and is a Stephens Pipe & Steel partner. From its Byron Center location, it serves property owners and project teams throughout Grand Rapids and surrounding West Michigan communities.
More information about the partners, their experience and the company’s operating approach is available through its company background.


Executive Fence & Gate is a Byron Center, Michigan-based fence and gate contractor founded in January 2026 by partners Tyler Johnson, Mike Hoffman and Mike Eaton. The company provides residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and temporary fencing services, including custom gates, perimeter fencing, security enclosures and access-control solutions.

EAR Customized Hearing Protection Highlights Growing Demand for Live Music Hearing Protection Among Professionals

BOULDER, CO - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
EAR Customized Hearing Protection is drawing attention to a rising trend among professional musicians and audio professionals who are adopting custom-fitted earplugs as a routine part of long-term career planning. The company reports that a growing number of performers now treat hearing conservation with the same seriousness that athletes apply to injury prevention, reflecting broader awareness of noise-induced hearing loss within the music industry.
Musicians face substantial sound exposure from stage monitors, amplifiers, drums, PA systems, and nearby instruments, along with the cumulative effect of rehearsals, sound checks, and repeated performances. Hearing risk is influenced by both the intensity of sound and the duration of exposure, which makes hearing conservation especially relevant for professionals who perform on a regular basis. Vocalists, DJs, sound engineers, stage crews, and music educators face similar concerns whenever they work around amplified sound.

The company notes that permanent damage can accumulate gradually, often before an individual notices any decline in hearing. As a result, many professionals are shifting toward consistent protective habits rather than reaching for earplugs only when sound becomes uncomfortable. Practical strategies include managing stage volume where possible, taking breaks from high sound levels, monitoring cumulative exposure over time, and using hearing protection during live music consistently across every performance and rehearsal.
EAR Customized Hearing Protection provides professionally fitted earplugs molded to the individual ear. According to the company, this approach supports consistent placement, reliable attenuation, and long-term comfort during extended wear, while helping to reduce listening fatigue over long sessions. For performers, custom and high-fidelity options are designed to lower volume while preserving sound clarity, allowing musicians to hear the full frequency range of their music rather than a muffled version. The company emphasizes that effective protection also allows performers to maintain awareness of music, speech, timing, and cues from other musicians on stage.
"Musicians rely on their ears the way other professionals rely on their hands," said Garry Gordon, a representative of EAR Customized Hearing Protection. "When protection is molded to the individual and tuned to preserve clarity, performers can play safely without sacrificing the detail they need to do their work."
Gordon added that hearing conservation is best understood as an ongoing practice rather than a single decision. "Prevention matters most before any damage has occurred," he said. "The professionals who protect their hearing early tend to be the ones who are still performing comfortably years later, which is why consistency is so important."
The company points out that the same principles apply across many roles within the industry. Sound engineers monitoring long recording sessions, stage crews working near amplification for extended periods, and educators teaching in acoustically intense environments all benefit from protective habits tailored to their specific settings.


EAR Customized Hearing Protection offers hearing protection and hearing-conservation solutions for musicians and music professionals. The company focuses on professionally fitted, high-fidelity products designed for musical environments, with an emphasis on preserving clarity while reducing potentially damaging sound exposure across performances, rehearsals, and recording work.

Growing Minds Therapy Addresses Rising Childhood Anxiety Crisis Affecting School Attendance

CHICHESTER, UK - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Growing Minds Therapy has expanded its cognitive behavioral therapy services across West Sussex and South Hampshire as new government data reveals that persistent school absence remains 56 percent above pre-pandemic levels, with anxiety identified as a primary driver for many affected children.
Department for Education figures for the current academic year show that 18.66 percent of pupils have missed 10 percent or more of possible sessions, meaning roughly one in five children is now classified as persistently absent. The data indicates that 38.6 percent of pupils with identified social, emotional and mental health needs were persistently absent in the previous academic year, more than double the rate for pupils with no identified additional needs.
The scale of the crisis has prompted government intervention through the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026, which received Royal Assent in April and introduced new statutory duties on schools and local authorities to monitor and support attendance. The number of specialist mental health support teams operating in schools is set to rise from 607 to 713, offering targeted sessions for pupils experiencing anxiety and low mood who do not meet NHS referral thresholds.
"School avoidance is rarely about a child choosing not to attend and is almost always a signal that something deeper is going on," said Melissa Urwin, a BABCP-accredited CBT psychotherapist and founder of Growing Minds Therapy. "Cognitive behavioral therapy helps children identify the thought patterns that drive their avoidance, build practical strategies for managing anxiety, and gradually re-engage with the situations they find most difficult. Parents often arrive at our practice exhausted and uncertain, and supporting the whole family to understand the anxiety cycle is a critical part of helping a child return to school with confidence."
Recent research supports the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing in January 2025, covering 29 studies, confirmed that cognitive behavioral therapy is significantly effective in reducing anxiety in children. Additionally, a 2026 Bayesian meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that school-based CBT produces durable preventive effects that can be maintained for up to one year.
The Centre for Social Justice warned in March 2026 that 1.4 million children were persistently absent and that without urgent action, an additional 180,000 school leavers could become long-term workless at a lifetime cost of 14 billion pounds. Research from the School Avoidance Alliance indicates that as many as 28 percent of children experience school avoidance at some point, most commonly between the ages of 10 and 13.


Growing Minds Therapy specializes in providing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for children and young people experiencing anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, school avoidance, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The practice offers a structured three-step approach beginning with an initial consultation to discuss the main reasons for accessing therapy, followed by a comprehensive assessment to explore current symptoms, and intervention sessions to work on collaboratively agreed goals. Therapy for children and young people is delivered both in-person across West Sussex and South Hampshire, and through online sessions to ensure accessibility for families throughout the UK.

Utah Trenchless Explains How Sewer Camera Inspections Reveal Hidden Underground Line Problems

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Utah Trenchless, a Salt Lake City-based trenchless sewer and drain company, is highlighting how high-definition sewer camera inspections help property owners understand the true condition of underground sewer and drain lines before committing to repairs or replacements. As aging infrastructure and recurring backups affect homes across the region, the company is offering guidance to reduce guesswork for homeowners, property managers, and real estate professionals.
Sewer camera inspections involve inserting a high-definition video camera into the sewer line to capture a live view of the pipe interior. The process allows technicians to identify and document problems that are otherwise invisible from the surface. According to the company, this visual evidence gives property owners a clearer picture of what is happening beneath their landscaping and foundations before any excavation begins.

Several common issues surface during these inspections. Tree root intrusion remains one of the frequent causes of blockages, as roots work their way into pipe joints in search of moisture. Cracks, offsets, and pipe corrosion can compromise the structural integrity of a line over time. Bellied pipe, where a section of the line sags and creates a low spot, often leads to standing water and repeated clogs. Aging sewer lines and recurring backups are additional signs that a closer look underground may be warranted.
Real estate transactions represent another area where camera inspections prove valuable. Buyers and sellers often face uncertainty about the condition of a property's sewer system, and an inspection can provide documented findings that inform negotiations and repair decisions. The company positions itself as a Utah Trenchless sewer inspection resource for those seeking clarity on the condition of a home's underground lines.
"A sewer camera inspection takes the mystery out of what is happening below ground," said Spencer Ruff of Utah Trenchless. "Many property owners are surprised to learn that a recurring backup is caused by something specific and identifiable, whether it is roots, a crack, or a low spot in the pipe. Seeing the actual footage helps them make an informed decision rather than guessing."
The company emphasizes an approach built on honesty in diagnostics, noting that its technicians are not incentivized to identify problems that do not exist. A standard inspection includes a narrated video report with results provided within 24 hours, giving property owners documentation they can review and reference.
"Our goal is to give homeowners the information they need, then let the findings speak for themselves," Ruff said. "When people understand exactly what is going on underground, they can weigh a repair or replacement with confidence."
Utah Trenchless serves Salt Lake County, Utah County, Summit County, and Davis County, along with communities including Salt Lake City, Lehi, and Provo. Utah Trenchless is fully licensed and insured in the state of Utah and is locally owned by Spencer and Kourtney Ruff, who were born and raised in the state.


The company specializes in trenchless sewer repair, sewer line repair and replacement, sewer line inspection, drain cleaning, septic service, water main and line repair, air and hydro utility locating, and trenchless pipe lining. Utah Trenchless is located at 250 E 200 S Suite 1605, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, and can be reached at (385) 438-4333.

Midnight Hour Introduces Fall Goth Clothing and Layerable Alternative Essentials

Sierra Madre, California - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Midnight Hour, an alternative fashion brand specializing in gothic and alternative aesthetic apparel, has unveiled a fall-focused selection of darker, layerable pieces designed for customers beginning to plan their cooler-weather wardrobes. The seasonal assortment centers on statement outerwear, dresses, tops and versatile everyday styles that allow shoppers to introduce deeper tones and richer textures as temperatures begin to shift.
The fall selection reflects a growing interest in transitional dressing, with pieces intended to be worn together in layers rather than as standalone items. Midnight Hour has structured the assortment around wearable silhouettes that pair gothic design details with everyday practicality, giving customers options that move from daytime routines into evening settings. Outerwear anchors the collection, followed by dresses, tops and bottoms that can be combined to build layered looks suited to changing weather.

As part of the seasonal focus, Midnight Hour is highlighting goth clothing across its women's, men's and plus size ranges, ensuring that the darker aesthetic remains accessible to a broad customer base. The women's assortment spans tops, dresses, skirts and bottoms, while the men's range includes shirts, hoodies, sweaters and outerwear. Plus size shoppers can select from a comparable variety of tops, dresses, skirts and bottoms designed with the same alternative sensibility.
Beyond apparel, the brand's accessories and home categories complement the fall pieces with jewelry, belts and harnesses, shoes, hosiery, handbags and gothic decor. Together, these categories support customers who wish to extend the alternative aesthetic beyond their wardrobes and into their surroundings during the cooler months.
Akiko Cook, a spokesperson for Midnight Hour, said the fall focus responds to the way alternative customers approach the change in seasons. "As temperatures begin to drop, customers start thinking about layering and texture, and that is where darker, alternative pieces really come into their own," Cook said. "The goal was to bring together outerwear, dresses and everyday styles that feel distinctive but remain easy to wear day to day."
Cook added that versatility guided the selection process. "Alternative fashion is often assumed to be reserved for special occasions, but this assortment is built for everyday life," Cook said. "Customers can introduce deeper layers and seasonal textures gradually, mixing statement outerwear with familiar staples until the whole wardrobe reflects the aesthetic they want."
The emphasis on layerable design reflects broader shifts in how alternative shoppers build their fall wardrobes, favoring pieces that combine rather than replace existing items. By offering coordinated outerwear, dresses, tops and accessories, Midnight Hour positions its fall assortment as a foundation for seasonal dressing rather than a single seasonal statement.


Midnight Hour is a clothing company that specializes in gothic and alternative aesthetic apparel. The brand offers women's, men's and plus size clothing, including tops, dresses, skirts, bottoms, swimwear and loungewear, alongside accessories and home categories such as jewelry, belts and harnesses, shoes, sunglasses, hosiery, handbags and decor. The company also maintains a loyalty and rewards program and provides gift cards for its customers.

Nicolet Plastics Highlights Availability in Custom Injection Molding

JACKSON, WI - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Nicolet Plastics LLC, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer with four decades of experience, today announced available capacity for custom plastic injection molding. The company operates with a focus on precision, repeatability, and material expertise that supports both prototype development and full-scale production runs.
Nicolet Plastics custom injection molding capabilities encompass a broad spectrum of thermoplastic resins and engineered polymers. The company maintains equipment ranging from small-tonnage presses suited for intricate components to larger machines capable of producing structural parts, allowing it to serve diverse manufacturing requirements under one roof.
"Our team brings deep knowledge of resin behavior, tooling design, and process optimization to every project," said Bryce Huggins, Business Development Leader of Nicolet Plastics. "That experience, built over 40 years in this industry, translates into consistent part quality and fewer production issues for our customers."
The injection molding process requires careful attention to variables such as melt temperature, injection pressure, cooling time, and mold geometry. Nicolet Plastics employs scientific molding principles to establish and maintain process parameters that yield dimensionally accurate parts with minimal variation across production cycles. This methodology reduces scrap rates and shortens time to market for new product introductions.
Material selection represents a critical phase in any injection molding program. The company works with commodity resins such as polypropylene and ABS as well as performance-grade materials including glass-filled nylon, polycarbonate blends, and thermoplastic elastomers. Engineering staff consult with clients during the design phase to recommend materials that meet mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance requirements while remaining cost-effective for the intended production volume.
Tooling development is another area where the company applies its accumulated expertise. Nicolet Plastics collaborates with mold makers to ensure that tool designs account for factors such as gate placement, parting line location, draft angles, and venting. Proper mold engineering at the front end of a program helps prevent defects including sink marks, warpage, and short shots during production.
"We treat every mold as a long-term asset," Huggins said. "Getting the tooling right from the start means our customers see better part consistency and lower maintenance costs over the life of the program."
The company serves original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers that require reliable supply of molded components. Production capabilities include insert molding, overmolding, and multi-cavity tooling configurations. Secondary operations such as assembly, pad printing, and ultrasonic welding allow Nicolet Plastics to deliver finished components rather than individual parts, simplifying the supply chain for its customers.
Quality control procedures are integrated throughout the manufacturing process. The company utilizes statistical process control to monitor critical dimensions during production runs. Inspection protocols include first-article verification, in-process checks, and final inspection before shipment. This systematic approach to quality management supports compliance with industry specifications and customer-specific requirements.
Workforce development plays a role in maintaining manufacturing consistency. Technicians and press operators at Nicolet Plastics receive ongoing training in process setup, troubleshooting, and quality standards. Retaining experienced personnel contributes to institutional knowledge that benefits complex or tight-tolerance molding programs.
The plastics injection molding sector continues to evolve with advances in resin technology, automation, and simulation software. Nicolet Plastics incorporates mold flow analysis into its engineering process, enabling the team to predict and address potential issues before steel is cut. This digital tool complements the hands-on expertise that comes from decades of production experience.
Manufacturers evaluating injection molding partners weigh factors including technical capability, production capacity, quality systems, and responsiveness. Nicolet Plastics positions itself as a domestic source for molded components, offering the advantages of proximity, communication, and intellectual property protection that come with domestic manufacturing partnerships.
The company operates its custom plastic manufacturing operations from its facility in Mountain, Wisconsin, where it maintains a controlled production environment suited for consistent plastic part manufacturing. Equipment maintenance schedules and facility investments support uninterrupted production for customers with ongoing volume requirements.

Truly Investor Capital Launches Crunchbase Profile to Expand Digital Presence

August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Truly Investor Capital, a real estate investor lending company serving direct borrowers and broker partners, has launched a company profile on Crunchbase, expanding the private lender's digital footprint and creating an additional resource for borrowers, brokers, real estate investors, and industry professionals to learn about the firm.
The new Crunchbase Truly Investor Capital profile offers another online destination for discovering the company and its range of lending solutions. These include DSCR loans, bridge loans, rehab and fix-and-flip financing, and new construction loans, each tailored to different real estate investment strategies.

The move reflects a broader effort to strengthen the company's online visibility. By establishing a presence on a widely referenced business intelligence platform, Truly Investor Capital provides real estate professionals and investors with additional ways to find, research, and connect with the lender.
"Establishing a profile on Crunchbase is part of a continued effort to make information about the company readily accessible to the people who rely on real estate financing," said a spokesperson for Truly Investor Cap. "Borrowers and brokers increasingly research lenders across multiple digital platforms before starting a project, and this profile gives them another trusted source of information."
Truly Investor Capital has funded more than 116 loans across multiple states, maintaining a quick average closing time that supports investors working on time-sensitive projects. The company's product lineup addresses a variety of financing needs. Rehab loans are designed to finance fix-and-flip projects, offering up to 90 percent of the purchase price and 100 percent of rehab costs with interest-only payments. Construction loans support ground-up spec and custom builds, with flexible draw schedules and terms ranging from 12 to 24 months.
DSCR loans are based on rental income rather than personal income and do not require personal income verification, and they can be used for purchase, refinance, or cash-out transactions with up to 80 percent loan-to-value and 30-year fixed options. Bridge loans provide short-term financing with 12-month terms, no prepayment penalties, interest-only payments, and quick closing for investors who need temporary capital before securing longer-term financing.
The expansion onto Crunchbase aligns with the company's emphasis on consistent presentation across every platform where customers encounter the business. The Truly Investor Capital Brand reflects the company's view that a strong brand extends beyond a logo or name and represents the promise made to customers, supporting credibility, trust, and lasting relationships.
"Consistency across every channel helps build confidence among the investors and partners the company works with," the spokesperson for Truly Investor Cap added. "A recognizable, professional presence, whether on a lending platform or a business directory, helps borrowers make informed decisions."
The company uses a straightforward three-step process for funding deals, which involves structuring the deal, submitting the application, and allowing the company to manage the remaining steps.

Trevi Pools & Spas BC Initiates Water Quality Monitoring Initiative in Response to Okanagan Wildfire Smoke Fallout

KELOWNA, BC - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
With seasonal wildfire activity affecting ambient air quality across British Columbia, Trevi Pools & Spas has issued a seasonal water care advisory to assist residential pool owners in maintaining water balance during periods of airborne smoke, soot, and falling ash.
While public health advisories focus primarily on respiratory safety, outdoor swimming pools also experience heightened contaminant loading from settling combustion particulates. Carbon particulate matter, fine organic plant ash, and related combustion byproducts can enter open or covered pools, placing additional demand on sanitizers and filtration systems. If regular maintenance routines are interrupted, this organic loading can contribute to water cloudiness, pH fluctuations, and opportunistic algae growth.

To support pool owners, Trevi Pools & Spas has outlined best practices aligned with the ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 American National Standard for Residential Inground Swimming Pools, the ANSI/APSP/ICC-11 Standard for Water Quality in Public Pools and Spas published by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA at phta.org), and guidance from HealthLinkBC and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The specific chemical impact of atmospheric debris depends on localized smoke density, fire proximity, and pool volume, but environmental combustion ash typically introduces several measurable variables. Studies in forest soil and ash chemistry show that wildland plant ash contains alkaline metal carbonates and oxides, primarily potassium carbonate and calcium oxide, which act as bases when dissolved in water, frequently causing pool pH to rise. PHTA water quality standards and HealthLinkBC guidelines establish an acceptable residential pH range of 7.2 to 7.8, with an operational optimum of 7.4 to 7.6, because elevated pH levels cause hypochlorous acid to dissociate into less active hypochlorite ions, significantly reducing sanitizer efficacy.
Furthermore, free available chlorine functions as a sacrificial oxidizer that is continuously consumed when neutralizing incoming organic contaminants and fine carbon soot. In conditions of sustained particulate fallout, this elevated oxidation demand accelerates sanitizer loss, requiring regular monitoring to maintain the standard PHTA residential baseline of 2.0 to 4.0 ppm for stabilized pools (or HealthLinkBC's 3.0 to 5.0 ppm guideline for elevated-demand conditions). Plant combustion byproducts can also introduce orthophosphates into the water column. While agricultural and limnological research confirms that phosphates do not generate algae on their own, elevated nutrient levels can support rapid biological proliferation if free chlorine residuals are depleted or circulation becomes stagnant.
“Wildfire smoke introduces fine particulate matter that can alter water chemistry over time,” said Paul Tallon, an owner of Trevi Pools & Spas. “When heavy smoke settles over the region, sanitizers work harder to neutralize the organic load. Proactive maintenance between scheduled service visits helps prevent sudden chemical swings, persistent cloudiness, and unnecessary strain on filtration systems.”
Because chemical demand and filtration cycles vary widely based on pool surface finish, sanitizer method (such as saltwater chlorine generators versus manual dosing), and water volume, homeowners should consult manufacturer guidelines and product labels for precise dosing. General best practices include running circulation pumps for extended daily cycles to capture suspended soot before it settles. Homeowners should also clear skimmer and pump strainer baskets frequently, ensuring the pump motor is turned off prior to opening the strainer housing.
Regularly brushing pool walls and using a fine-mesh leaf net to remove floating ash helps keep fine particles in suspension for filtration. Because sub-micron carbon soot and ash can rapidly blind sand beds or cartridge fabric, filter pressure gauges should be inspected regularly, performing a filter backwash or cartridge rinse when operating pressure rises 8 to 10 PSI above the clean baseline level, consistent with standard equipment operating manuals. Water chemistry should be tested at least once or twice daily during active smoke conditions to maintain standard sanitizer and pH targets.
Specialty treatments should only be used when conditions warrant. Enzyme treatments are helpful when visible soot or oily organic films accumulate on the water surface. Phosphate reducers should be used only after water testing confirms elevated orthophosphate concentrations, and preventative algaecides can serve as a supplementary safeguard if sanitizer levels fluctuate.
For homeowners needing assistance with water balancing or persistent clarity issues, Trevi Pools & Spas Kelowna provides complimentary computerized water lab analysis at its retail showroom locations. Customers can bring a fresh water sample in a clean container for automated testing and individualized dosage recommendations tailored to their pool volume and equipment setup.
Trevi is backed by over 50 years of Canadian manufacturing experience, Trevi Pools & Spas Kelowna specializes in the design, retail sales, installation, and maintenance of inground, semi-inground, and above-ground pools, precision-fit replacement liners, and hot tubs. Trevi provides factory-direct water care products, energy-efficient equipment, and dedicated maintenance support across Western Canada.

Intensa Dry Mold & Water Restoration Publishes Guide Detailing the Emergency Restoration Response Process

PLANO, TX - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Intensa Dry Mold & Water Restoration has published a new homeowner guide that walks through exactly what happens during an emergency restoration call, from the moment a homeowner dials for help through the final inspection and insurance documentation. The guide is designed to help residents across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex understand the steps of professional water damage recovery before a crisis strikes.
The release of the guide follows a recent incident in Melissa, Texas, where a supply line burst and spread water through multiple rooms before the homeowner realized anything was wrong. Intensa Dry technicians arrived within the company's average window of under 40 minutes, contained the spread, and began extraction before the damage reached surrounding materials. The case illustrated why the company chose to document its process in a format homeowners can reference in advance.
The guide outlines each phase of the response. It begins with an initial assessment that identifies problem spots and safety risks, followed by an action plan that ranks tasks by urgency, selects appropriate equipment, and establishes a timeline. Water extraction and structural drying come next, followed by a final inspection and a follow-up visit to confirm no new issues have surfaced. The guide also includes a quick-response checklist homeowners can use before the team arrives, such as shutting off the water supply, moving valuables to a dry area, and photographing the damage for insurance purposes.
Elnard Khozha-Akhmedov of Intensa Dry Mold & Water Restoration said the guide reflects questions the company hears repeatedly from homeowners in crisis. "When a pipe fails, most people have never dealt with anything like it and do not know what to expect," Khozha-Akhmedov said. "The goal of publishing what happens during an emergency restoration call is to remove that uncertainty, so residents understand each step before they ever need to make the call."
The company operates across the DFW area and structures its dispatch system around rapid arrival, which it describes as central to limiting the reach of water damage. Because moisture migrates quickly into flooring, drywall, and cabinetry, the difference between a fast and a slow response often determines how much material must be replaced.
"The Melissa case showed how much water can move in a short time," Khozha-Akhmedov said. "Fast, transparent emergency water damage restoration DFW residents can rely on comes down to arriving early and communicating clearly about what happens next and what it will cost."
Intensa Dry Mold & Water Restoration provides emergency water damage restoration DFW TX property owners rely on, along with fire damage restoration, structural drying, reconstruction, and support with insurance claims. The company serves communities including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Melissa, and responds to residential and commercial calls around the clock.
Homeowners and business owners interested in reviewing the new guide can access it through the company's blog resources for emergency restoration planning.

Dover, Delaware - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Seatylock, the design-led mobility security brand, has expanded its rider-education resources with a comprehensive new knowledge hub focused on bike chain locks. The resource is designed to help cyclists move beyond generic "heavy-duty" marketing claims and understand the measurable factors that actually determine chain-lock security.
The launch responds to a growing challenge for everyday riders. As higher-value bicycles and electric bikes become more common in cities, selecting an appropriate lock has become increasingly complex. The new Seatylock Bike Chain Locks Guide explains how riders can evaluate chain locks using concrete criteria such as link thickness, hardened-steel construction, independent security certifications, chain length, weight, locking technique, anchor choice and parking risk.

Rather than relying on marketing language, the hub encourages an evidence-led approach. It explains that link diameter directly influences how much force is required to defeat a chain, that hardened alloy steel can dull cutting tools before a cut is complete, and that the lockhead and cylinder can represent weak points if poorly engineered. The guide also addresses the rising prevalence of angle grinders in bike theft, a factor that has changed how riders should assess real-world protection.
A central theme of the resource is that owning a lock does not by itself guarantee security. The Seatylock Heavy-Duty Bike Chain Lock Guide combines product-selection advice with correct locking technique, including securing the frame and rear wheel to a fixed anchor while minimizing chain slack. The hub notes that flexibility is one of a chain lock's distinct advantages, allowing it to wrap around larger or irregular anchors that rigid locks may not reach.
Michael Shenkerman, speaking for Seatylock, said the hub was created to close a persistent knowledge gap. "Many riders assume the word heavy-duty tells them everything they need to know, when in reality security depends on measurable elements like link diameter, steel hardness and independent certification," he said. "The aim is to give cyclists a clear framework so they can match their protection to how and where they actually park."
The resource dedicates particular attention to electric bikes, which typically carry higher replacement values than standard bicycles. The Seatylock E-Bike Chain Lock Security Guide explains how link thickness, usable chain length and certification level should scale with a bike's value, and outlines when a two-lock strategy may be appropriate for high-risk environments.
"Electric bikes change the calculation," Shenkerman added. "A higher-value bike often warrants a certified chain as the primary lock, sometimes paired with a second lock, and enough usable length to reach oversized frames and motor housings."
The hub aligns product guidance with independent certification benchmarks, including those administered by recognized institutes that use standardized, time-limited attack testing to assess theft resistance.


Founded in 2008, Seatylock designs, produces and assembles bike security products in-house, including cylinders and keys. The brand holds independent certifications and international patents, and its product family spans folding locks, U-locks, chain locks, seat-lock hybrids, detachable seats and accessory protection systems built around its philosophy of Protection Perfected by Design.

Venture Studio My Master App Announces Strategic Transformation

Dallas, Texas - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
My Master App, a Dallas-based technology business, has announced its expansion into a venture studio model, effective August 1, 2026. The company now operates four integrated service pillars - Build, Scale, Invest, and Exit - designed to serve SaaS founders at each stage of their business journey. Software development remains the foundation of the company's offerings, with three additional service frameworks layered to address growth marketing, capital acquisition, and business exit strategies.
"For nearly two decades I assisted a close friend of mine with website and software building and marketing their business," says Elijahone Wheaton, Founder of My Master App. "I invested in a mastermind centered around buying and selling businesses, and got a chance to see up close how rewarding it can all be when done together. My own entrepreneurial journey being so fruitful, I've chosen to make My Master App a venture studio instead of only a software developer. The key difference from conventional studios is that we provide funding or get it from outside investors as well as aid in the process of selling our client's businesses if we don't acquire the business to help with the entire start up process from beginning to end."

The Build framework encompasses software development from project inception through public launch. The framework includes confidentiality protections through Non-Disclosure Agreements signed before project discussions, formal onboarding to establish a Project Brief and Product Requirements Document, software design phases that begin with paper mapping of customer journey followed by wireframe development and visual design application, development using Rapid Application Development approaches with no-code tools in early stages, comprehensive testing through Alpha Testing and Beta Testing phases, and public launch with initial customer acquisition efforts. According to the company, founders without technical backgrounds can launch working products using the no-code development approach, with the option to transition to fully custom code once the SaaS has gained trust, credibility, and authority in its industry and requires competitive edge development.
The Scale framework addresses software growth through three integrated components. Software marketing covers search engine optimization and social media strategies targeted to specific customer demographics and psychographics, whether business professionals, association members, or other defined audiences, and operates as a long-term growth play centered on content. Software Advertising uses paid placements on Google Ads, YouTube Ads, and Facebook Ads to produce faster results than organic marketing approaches. Public relations for software distributes founder stories to media companies actively seeking content, including news and media outlets, television and radio stations, journals, financial and business sites, and blogs. The company positions these three levers as working simultaneously, with advertising providing short-term traction while marketing and public relations build durable, long-term growth.
The Invest framework operates on two parallel paths. Founders can apply for direct investment from My Master App, which invests capital in select SaaS founders who engage the venture studio as a partner and cofounder. Alternatively, My Master App builds materials and conducts outreach campaigns to connect founders with outside investors. The framework includes creation of a Pitch Deck presentation containing product information, traction metrics, market analysis, team composition, and investment ask; development of a webinar funnel and video presentation framework that walks potential investors through the founder's story and business fundamentals; and outreach to both publicly identified investors seeking new opportunities and investors who have not publicly announced interest, but remain open to opportunities. The company maintains that this dual-group outreach approach maximizes the pool of qualified potential investors.
The Exit framework provides structured support for founders preparing to sell their SaaS businesses. The framework includes creation of a Confidential Information Memorandum containing comprehensive business information, establishment of a secure deal room where qualified buyers can access brand information, financial records including three years of profit and loss statements and tax returns, recent balance sheets, Trailing Twelve Months data, and real estate information if applicable, buyer outreach leveraging the company's existing business relationships, legal documentation support throughout the sales process including non-disclosure agreements and purchase agreements, and due diligence facilitation. My Master App states that it can leverage relationships spanning over 1,000 business contacts to identify qualified buyers for founder businesses.
The four-pillar model reflects an observation central to the company's positioning: founders typically possess deep industry expertise but face different challenges at each business stage, from product development through market establishment, capital acquisition, and eventual exit. My Master App positions itself as a single partner addressing each challenge sequentially rather than requiring founders to coordinate separately with developers, marketers, investors, and brokers at different times.


Founders interested in discussing their SaaS business at any stage can schedule a call with My Master App to explore how the company's framework applies to their specific situation.

Nearly 20 Years Later, Mixed Media Creations Is Still Solving Multifamily Marketing’s Biggest Problem: Complexity

FLOWER MOUND, TX - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Dallas-Fort Worth agency built by a former property management professional helps apartment communities, management companies, and developers bring strategy, creativity, and execution together under one experienced team.
Nearly two decades ago, Mixed Media Creations (MMC) was founded around a simple idea: multifamily marketing is complicated enough. Working with a marketing partner shouldn’t be.
Founded in 2007 by President Susie Carter, the woman-owned branding, design, and marketing agency has grown into a national partner for apartment communities, property management companies, developers, and nonprofit organizations across the United States.
However, the story of MMC began before the agency did.
Carter built her early career inside the multifamily industry, working in leasing, resident services, community operations, and student housing before becoming Regional Marketing Director. Working alongside on-site and corporate teams gave her a firsthand understanding of what multifamily professionals manage every day, including leasing goals, resident needs, property operations, ownership expectations, and an ever-growing list of marketing vendors and deliverables.
She saw an opportunity to build something different.
Mixed Media Creations was created around the idea that multifamily teams shouldn’t have to manage a collection of disconnected creative partners to build a cohesive brand. Instead, MMC was designed to operate as an extension of its clients’ internal and on-site teams, bringing experienced specialists together under one roof while helping reduce the number of vendors clients need to coordinate.
“Apartment teams already have enough to manage,” Carter said. “Our job is to make marketing easier, not add more layers to it. We understand the industry, we understand what on-site teams are dealing with, and we can step in wherever the gaps are. Ultimately, we want our clients to feel like we’re an extension of their team.”
Today, MMC brings brand strategy and identity, graphic and print design, website design and development, hosting and maintenance, digital marketing, search engine optimization, social media management, photography, video production, motion graphics, signage, site plans, and promotional products together through one experienced team.
That integrated approach allows clients to move from strategy to execution without losing the brand story along the way. It also creates a more consistent, collaborative experience, with specialists who already understand the client, the property, and the goals behind the work.
For an individual community, that might mean developing a new brand and carrying it through the website, photography, signage, leasing collateral, and digital campaigns. For a management company or developer, it can mean creating consistency across an entire portfolio while still allowing individual communities to maintain their own identities.
The model becomes particularly valuable during periods of change, including new developments and lease-ups, acquisitions, renovations, rebrands, and repositioning projects, when multiple marketing initiatives often need to happen simultaneously.
Over nearly two decades, Mixed Media Creations has supported hundreds of apartment communities across the United States, with engagements ranging from individual creative projects to long-term branding, website, and ongoing marketing partnerships.
Through it all, the philosophy has remained consistent. Marketing works better when every touchpoint feels like a part of the same story.
A prospective resident may first encounter a community through an ad, social post, or search result before visiting its website, driving past its signage, touring the property, or taking home a brochure. MMC approaches those moments as one connected experience rather than a collection of individual deliverables.
That approach is also rooted in hospitality. MMC prioritizes accuracy, accessibility, visual quality, responsiveness, and a warm, white-glove client experience designed to make collaboration easier for busy teams. The goal is not only to create strong marketing, but to make the process behind it feel organized, personal, and dependable.
That philosophy has allowed the agency to grow alongside an industry that has changed dramatically since 2007 while staying grounded in the operational realities that inspired its creation.
As Mixed Media Creations approaches its 20th anniversary, the agency continues to evolve its capabilities while staying focused on the same problem Carter set out to solve nearly two decades ago: helping multifamily teams simplify marketing, strengthen their brands, and drive better results.

ConcreteWork HQ Launches Enhanced Concrete Contractor Directory to Streamline Nationwide Hiring

LARGO, FL - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
ConcreteWork HQ has launched an enhanced national platform designed to connect residential and commercial property owners, general contractors, and business managers with verified local concrete specialists across the United States. The updated system expands the company's existing concrete contractor directory into a broader marketplace and resource center serving trade professionals nationwide.
The refreshed platform addresses a common challenge for commercial asset managers, property developers, and general contractors: locating qualified specialists for projects that range from heavy-duty parking lots and structural foundations to custom flatwork. By centralizing transparent contractor listings, the directory allows decision-makers to browse professionals by service category, review specializations, and request quotes without navigating multiple disconnected sources. Service categories span commercial concrete, driveways, foundations, patios, pavers, epoxy coatings, leveling, sidewalks, slabs, stamped concrete, and general repairs.

For independent concrete and masonry business owners, the platform functions as a regional visibility tool. Contractors listed within the concrete contractor hub gain exposure to high-intent local searches from property owners and commercial buyers actively seeking services in their area. This structure is intended to help smaller and mid-sized firms capture qualified leads and compete alongside larger operations across their markets.
Beyond the marketplace function, ConcreteWork HQ pairs its listings with an educational component. The platform combines contractor profiles with technical guides and industry articles covering topics such as flatwork installation, masonry restoration, and local engineering standards. This dual approach is designed to give buyers the context needed to evaluate proposals and make informed hiring decisions rather than relying on listings alone.
"The updated platform was built to remove friction from a process that has historically been fragmented," said a spokesperson for ConcreteWork HQ. "Property managers and general contractors need a reliable way to identify specialists for very different types of work, and independent contractors need a straightforward path to reach the clients searching for them. Bringing both sides together in one directory serves that purpose."
The spokesperson added that the educational resources reflect the platform's broader intent. "A directory listing answers who is available, but confident hiring often depends on understanding the work itself. Pairing the contractor listings with practical guides on flatwork, restoration, and engineering standards gives users the information required to move forward with clarity."
The launch is positioned as a national initiative rather than a regionally limited service, with the platform structured to support business decision-makers and trade networks throughout the country. Property managers, general contractors, and concrete specialists are invited to explore the directory listings and access the industry insights available through the ConcreteWork HQ website.


ConcreteWork HQ is an online platform that connects customers with local concrete contractors. The company maintains a comprehensive directory of professionals who specialize in services including commercial concrete, driveways, epoxy flooring, foundations, leveling, patios, pavers, repairs, sidewalks, slabs, and stamped concrete. Through its combined marketplace and resource hub, the company supports both property owners seeking qualified specialists and contractors working to expand their reach across residential and commercial markets nationwide.

Clear Water Irrigation And Drainage Surpasses 270 Reviews With 4.8-Star Rating

JACKSONVILLE, FL - August 25, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Clear Water Irrigation and Drainage, a Jacksonville-based irrigation and drainage contractor serving Northeast Florida, has surpassed 270 customer reviews while maintaining a 4.8-star average rating on its Google Business Profile. The milestone reflects sustained demand for the company's irrigation and drainage work across residential and commercial properties throughout the region.
The company provides lawn sprinkler irrigation system installation, upgrade, and rerouting services, along with French drainage, downspout drainage, and surface drainage installation. These offerings address two common challenges for Florida property owners: distributing water efficiently to keep landscapes healthy and managing excess water to prevent pooling, erosion, and damage to foundations.

Irrigation rerouting has become a frequent request as homeowners install swimming pools or reconfigure their landscapes, requiring existing sprinkler lines to be adjusted for continued coverage. On the drainage side, French drains, downspout drains, and surface drains help redirect water during the heavy rainfall common to the area, protecting both structures and yards.
The reviews accumulated by Clear Water Irrigation and Drainage span a range of projects, from new system installations to targeted repairs and upgrades. According to the company, the consistency of its rating over more than 270 entries points to steady service quality rather than a single positive period.
Jon Haney of Clear Water Irrigation and Drainage attributed the response to the people carrying out the work and the standards they hold. "People tend to leave positive reviews when the work speaks for itself," Haney said. "Our teams are highly trained, and they genuinely enjoy what they do. That shows up in the quality of every installation and every repair. When customers see careful work and clear communication, they want to share that experience with their neighbors."
Haney added that feedback has also shaped how the company operates. "Reading through our reviews reminds the whole team why the details matter, from how a system is designed to how a drain is placed," he said. "It keeps everyone focused on doing the job right the first time." The volume of Clear Water Irrigation And Drainage reviews reflects the company's presence across St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Orange Park, and the surrounding areas of St. Johns, Duval, and Clay counties.
