Mindmachines.com Announces Major Roshiwave Mind Machine Upgrade with Revolutionary pROSHI 3 Emulation

Dallas, Texas - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Mindmachines.com announces the upcoming release of a significant upgrade to its Roshiwave mind machine product line, introducing the previously unreleased pROSHI 3 emulation model scheduled for February 2026. This enhancement represents the completion of the comprehensive personal ROSHI technology collection, bringing a never-before-available model to meditation and brainwave entrainment practitioners worldwide.
The pROSHI 3, internally codenamed "ZEN," was originally designed and optimized for the ROSHI 3D experience but was never released to the public. Only two confirmed prototypes of this personal ROSHI model existed until now. The discovery and successful emulation of this lost technology marks a milestone in preserving and advancing ROSHI brainwave entrainment methodologies.

"The addition of the pROSHI 3 emulation truly completes our mission to preserve and make accessible the entire personal ROSHI universe," said Fred Williams, Director of Product Development at Mindmachines.com. "This model represents a masterpiece of ROSHI technology that practitioners have never had the opportunity to experience. We're bringing this lost innovation to everyone who can benefit from advanced brainwave entrainment."
The new pROSHI 3 emulation includes several advanced features: classic default pROSHI 3 in both positive and negative phases, pROSHI 3 3D modes in multiple color combinations, pROSHI 3 HD mode, new Roshiwave XD modes utilizing pROSHI 3 modeling, an all-new ROSHI SEQ mode containing all five ROSHI models in sequence, and experimental OGDEN protocols in two modes across both phases.
Since its launch in summer 2019, the Roshiwave has evolved significantly, adding additional models and modes while maintaining its position as the only true pROSHI emulation device available. The device has received validation from Dr. Victoria Ibric and numerous members of the ROSHI clinical community, confirming its accuracy in representing personal ROSHI technology.
The Roshiwave functions as a digital compass for the brain, gently normalizing brainwaves and guiding users to a sublime meditative state beyond the perception of time without conscious effort. The device uses a process called Dynamic Neuro-Activation to dis-entrain abnormal brainwave frequencies and quiet the mind, leading users to profound states of peace and relaxation.
The significance of this upgrade extends beyond technical innovation. Prior to Roshiwave's introduction, older pROSHI devices commanded two to three times their original purchase price in the secondary market due to scarcity and demand. The Roshiwave now makes all five personal ROSHI models available at a cost far less than even one of the original devices.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8iBg5RI9KY
Mindmachines.com is an online distributor of brain machines, brainwave entrainment technology, AVS stimulation devices, EEG neurofeedback equipment, and meditation machines. The company serves as the worldwide distributor of the Roshiwave self-meditation device, which has become instrumental in making ROSHI technology accessible to clinicians, researchers, and individual users seeking enhanced meditation and mental performance capabilities. The Roshiwave mind machine is currently available exclusively through the mindmachines.com website.

ARC Restoration Reveals Leading Cause of Flooded Basements in Denver Area Homes

DENVER, CO - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
ARC Restoration, a professional disaster cleanup and restoration company serving the Denver metropolitan area, has identified frozen pipe bursts during winter months as the primary cause of basement flooding in residential properties throughout the region. The company's analysis of service calls over the past three years shows that temperature-related pipe failures account for nearly 40 percent of all basement flooding incidents during Colorado's colder months.
The restoration specialists at ARC Restoration Denver report that many homeowners remain unaware of the vulnerability of their plumbing systems during extreme temperature drops. Pipes located in unheated areas such as crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unfinished basements face the highest risk of freezing and subsequent rupture, leading to extensive water damage that can affect structural integrity, electrical systems, and personal property.

"The rapid temperature fluctuations Colorado experiences create perfect conditions for pipe failures, especially in older homes where insulation may be inadequate," said Chris Barnett, Operations Director at ARC Restoration. "A single burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water per hour, transforming a finished basement into a disaster zone within minutes. The key is understanding prevention measures and knowing how to respond immediately when flooding occurs."
Beyond frozen pipes, the company identifies several other common causes of basement flooding in the Denver area, including sump pump failures during spring snowmelt, foundation cracks that allow groundwater infiltration, and sewer line backups during heavy rainfall events. Each scenario requires specialized restoration approaches and equipment to properly address water extraction, structural drying, and contamination concerns.
ARC Restoration Flooded Basement Cleanup services encompass comprehensive water extraction, dehumidification, antimicrobial treatment, and structural restoration. The company utilizes advanced moisture detection technology and industrial-grade drying equipment to address both visible water damage and hidden moisture that can lead to mold growth and structural deterioration. Their technicians follow industry-standard protocols for water damage restoration, ensuring thorough remediation of affected areas.
"Property owners often underestimate the complexity of proper water damage restoration," added Barnett. "Simply removing visible water isn't enough. Hidden moisture in walls, flooring, and structural components can create long-term problems including mold growth, wood rot, and compromised indoor air quality. Professional restoration ensures these issues are addressed comprehensively."
The company emphasizes the importance of rapid response when basement flooding occurs. Delays in addressing water damage can exponentially increase restoration costs and extend the time properties remain uninhabitable. Their emergency response teams maintain readiness for immediate deployment, particularly during seasons when flooding risks peak.

ARC Restoration specializes in comprehensive disaster cleanup and restoration services throughout the Denver metropolitan area and surrounding Colorado communities. The company provides water mitigation, flooded basement restoration, sewer backup cleanup, mold removal, smoke damage restoration, fire restoration, biohazard cleanup, and commercial restoration services. Their certified technicians utilize state-of-the-art equipment and follow established industry protocols to restore properties to pre-loss conditions while working closely with insurance companies to facilitate claims processing.

Heroin-Related Vomiting Raises Alarm in Tennessee

OAK RIDGE, TN - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
As heroin use continues to impact communities across East Tennessee and the broader Appalachian region, medical professionals are bringing more attention to the physical warning signs that often go overlooked, including heroin vomiting. ReVIDA® Recovery, an outpatient provider that specializes exclusively in opioid use disorder treatment, has released a new educational resource detailing why vomiting occurs after heroin use, what risks it presents, and how it can signal deeper medical concerns. The organization reports that heroin vomiting is not uncommon and can create serious health complications when left unaddressed.
The article explains, “Approximately 40% of people experience nausea after taking an opioid like heroin, while only 15–25% experience vomiting” – vomiting is the body’s protective response to substances it identifies as harmful, and heroin is considered a toxin once introduced into the system. The most immediate dangers associated with heroin-induced vomiting is aspiration, which occurs when stomach contents enter the lungs and can lead to respiratory complications. Long-term concerns from repeated vomiting are also significant, as it can result in dehydration, irritation or injury to the esophagus, and progressive tooth decay due to stomach acid exposure. Health providers note that these physical effects compound other risks associated with heroin use disorder and may increase the likelihood of emergency medical intervention.
ReVIDA® Recovery’s full educational article provides additional context around why opioids trigger nausea and vomiting in the first place, including how heroin interacts with receptors in the brain that regulate the digestive system. The organization emphasizes that while these symptoms are common, they are not benign. Persistent vomiting can destabilize electrolyte levels and eventually weaken the entire body. Individuals seeking more information about the physiological effects of heroin use should review the complete resource that is published by ReVIDA® Recovery, where the medical implications are explained in greater depth.
Research reinforces that the most effective way to reduce the risks of heroin-related vomiting is to address the substance-use disorder itself first. The article notes that leaving heroin behind may not immediately eliminate nausea or vomiting completely, as these symptoms often appear during heroin withdrawal as well. Symptoms will most usually peak around three days after the last use before gradually improving. Having medical supervision during this period can significantly reduce discomfort and risk. Clinicians may prescribe Suboxone® (buprenorphine) as part of a structured treatment plan to help reduce cravings while stabilizing physical symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. National health authorities have long emphasized that medication-assisted treatment remains one of the most evidence-based approaches to managing opioid use disorder in a controlled outpatient setting.
As heroin continues to circulate in illicit markets, awareness of its physical consequences remains an essential part of public health education. Vomiting may appear to be a short-term side effect, but repeated episodes signal escalating risks and medical vulnerability. ReVIDA® Recovery reports that the early recognition of symptoms, combined with structured outpatient treatment, reduces the likelihood of severe complications and support long-term stability.
About ReVIDA® Recovery: 
ReVIDA® Recovery is an outpatient medication-assisted treatment provider specializing exclusively in opioid use disorder. With multiple locations across East Tennessee and Western Virginia, ReVIDA® Recovery offers MAT services using Suboxone® and Sublocade®, combined with required outpatient therapy and practical case management support. The organization accepts commercial insurance and Medicaid and is committed to expanding access to structured, evidence-based care throughout Appalachia.

Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Highlights Engagement Ring Craftsmanship and Design Philosophy

Causeway Bay, HK - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong has released an announcement outlining the design philosophy, craftsmanship standards, and material selection processes behind its Ginza Diamond Shiraishi 求婚戒指 (engagement ring) collections. The statement provides insight into how the brand approaches diamond sourcing, ring design development, and quality assurance within the context of contemporary bridal jewelry practices.
As engagement rings remain a central symbol in marriage proposals and long-term commitments, their design and construction continue to hold cultural and emotional significance. The announcement from Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong emphasizes the importance of balancing aesthetic refinement with durability and long-term wearability. According to the company, engagement rings are developed with attention to structural stability, stone security, and everyday comfort, reflecting both symbolic value and practical considerations.

The engagement ring collections are influenced by a heritage of Japanese jewelry craftsmanship. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi was originally established in Japan, where detailed artisanal techniques and precision engineering have long shaped jewelry production standards. The Hong Kong branch incorporates these design principles into its engagement ring offerings, ensuring that each piece adheres to defined quality benchmarks in stone setting and metal finishing.
Central to the announcement is the brand’s diamond selection process. The company reports that diamonds are evaluated according to internationally recognized grading criteria, including cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Emphasis is placed on cut quality, as this factor directly influences a diamond’s brilliance and light performance. By prioritizing symmetrical faceting and precise proportions, the brand seeks to ensure consistent optical characteristics across its engagement ring collections.
The statement also references responsible sourcing practices within the diamond supply chain. Diamonds used in the engagement rings are accompanied by certification documentation issued by recognized gemological laboratories. Certification provides detailed information regarding a diamond’s measurable attributes and supports transparency in grading standards. The company notes that traceability and ethical considerations form part of its broader sourcing framework.
In terms of design structure, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong outlines a focus on ergonomic ring architecture. Engagement rings are worn daily, and long-term comfort depends on thoughtful shaping of the band interior and overall weight distribution. The announcement describes rounded inner surfaces and carefully calculated band thicknesses that aim to reduce pressure points and ensure a secure yet comfortable fit.
Stone setting techniques are another element highlighted in the release. Engagement rings often feature prong settings, bezel settings, or variations that combine decorative detailing with secure stone placement. The company explains that prong alignment, metal tension, and seat precision are critical to maintaining both visual symmetry and long-term durability. Each ring undergoes inspection procedures to verify that the center stone is securely mounted and properly aligned.
Design diversity is also addressed in the announcement. While solitaire engagement rings remain widely recognized for their simplicity and focus on a single diamond, the collection includes variations incorporating side stones, pavé detailing, and sculpted bands. The statement emphasizes that design expansion reflects evolving personal preferences rather than short-term trends. The goal is to provide options that accommodate different aesthetic sensibilities while maintaining consistent craftsmanship standards.
Metal selection forms another component of engagement ring development. The company works with materials such as platinum and various gold alloys, each offering distinct properties in terms of durability, color tone, and maintenance requirements. Platinum, known for its strength and resistance to tarnish, is frequently chosen for engagement rings due to its longevity and ability to secure gemstones firmly over time. Gold alloys, available in white, yellow, and rose variations, allow for personalization while meeting structural requirements.
Quality control procedures are described as multi-stage processes. From initial design modeling to final polishing, engagement rings undergo inspections to confirm dimensional accuracy and finishing consistency. Surface polishing aims to achieve a smooth reflective quality without compromising the integrity of the metal. The company states that attention to micro-level details contributes to overall longevity and aesthetic refinement.
The announcement also addresses resizing and aftercare considerations. Because engagement rings are intended for long-term wear, provisions for resizing and maintenance are factored into the design stage. Structural allowances are incorporated to facilitate adjustments without weakening the band. Additionally, guidance on cleaning and periodic inspection is provided to help maintain diamond brilliance and setting stability over time.
Cultural influences are subtly integrated into certain engagement ring motifs. Japanese design traditions often emphasize balance, proportion, and understated elegance. These principles are reflected in ring silhouettes that prioritize harmony between the center stone and the surrounding metal structure. Rather than overwhelming decorative elements, the designs aim to create visual balance and enduring appeal.
The company further notes that technological tools are integrated into the design process. Computer-aided design modeling assists in achieving precise measurements and symmetrical configurations before physical production begins. This approach reduces structural inconsistencies and enhances accuracy in stone placement. The combination of digital modeling and traditional finishing techniques reflects a hybrid methodology commonly adopted in modern jewelry manufacturing.
Market observers indicate that engagement ring purchasing patterns have shifted in recent years, with increased emphasis on informed decision-making. Buyers often seek detailed explanations regarding diamond grading, metal composition, and long-term maintenance requirements. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong’s announcement reflects an awareness of this demand for transparency and educational information.
The engagement ring collections are presented within a retail environment designed to facilitate consultation and measurement. According to the statement, ring sizing, diamond comparison, and design selection processes are structured to allow individuals to evaluate options carefully. The company notes that accurate finger measurement and clear explanation of grading certificates are essential components of responsible jewelry presentation.
Sustainability considerations are also acknowledged. While the announcement does not detail specific initiatives, it references ongoing evaluation of sourcing standards and material traceability. Ethical supply chain awareness has become increasingly relevant within the global jewelry industry, and the company indicates that compliance with recognized frameworks remains part of its operational approach.
In concluding the announcement, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong reiterates its focus on craftsmanship precision, certified diamond selection, and balanced ring architecture within its engagement ring collections. The statement underscores that engagement rings serve both symbolic and functional roles, requiring thoughtful integration of design aesthetics and structural integrity.

Big Easy Flooring Adds Epoxy Floor Coating Services to Professional Offerings

February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Big Easy Flooring has expanded its service portfolio to include epoxy floor coating installations for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The company now provides specialized coating solutions that address durability and maintenance requirements across multiple facility types.
The addition of epoxy flooring services responds to demand for protective coating systems applied directly to concrete substrates. These multi-layer applications create bonded surfaces designed for environments where conventional flooring materials may face challenges from traffic patterns, mechanical loads, or exposure to various substances.
Epoxy floor coatings consist of resin-based formulations applied in layers to prepared concrete surfaces. The installation process involves surface preparation procedures followed by primer application and subsequent coating layers that cure to form a solid surface. The resulting finish provides a continuous surface without seams or joints typical of tile or other segmented flooring materials.
Big Easy Flooring delivers epoxy coating services for garage floors, warehouse facilities, retail environments, manufacturing spaces, and showrooms. The coating systems serve locations where floor surfaces encounter regular use from foot traffic, wheeled equipment, or material handling operations. Applications extend to both commercial facilities requiring operational flooring and residential spaces such as home garages.
The performance characteristics of epoxy coatings include resistance to chemical exposure, oil, grease, and moisture. The continuous surface configuration eliminates grout lines where contaminants might collect, which simplifies cleaning protocols compared to flooring systems with multiple seams or porous surfaces. This attribute proves relevant for facilities where sanitation standards apply or where regular cleaning procedures are necessary.
Epoxy coatings offer customization through color selection and finish options. The company provides various aesthetic choices that modify the appearance of standard concrete surfaces. The reflective properties inherent to certain epoxy finishes can affect ambient lighting conditions within facilities by redirecting available light across floor surfaces.
The installation methodology employed by Big Easy Flooring begins with concrete substrate evaluation and preparation. Surface preparation protocols address existing damage, remove contaminants, and ensure appropriate moisture levels before coating application. This preparatory phase establishes the foundation for adhesion between the concrete base and applied coating systems.
Following preparation, primer coatings are applied to enhance bonding between substrate and epoxy layers. The primary epoxy coating is then installed under controlled environmental conditions that support proper curing. Additional protective topcoat layers may be incorporated based on project specifications and intended use requirements of the coated surface.
The service life of epoxy floor coatings depends on installation quality, substrate condition, and use patterns. Properly installed systems can maintain functionality over extended periods with routine maintenance consisting primarily of regular cleaning. The initial investment in professional installation and quality coating materials is distributed across the operational lifespan of the floor system.
Big Easy Flooring applies its existing knowledge of flooring installation practices to epoxy coating services. The company's experience with substrate preparation, application techniques, and performance specifications informs its approach to coating projects. The epoxy service line complements existing flooring capabilities and provides clients access to coating solutions through an established contractor relationship.
Project evaluation procedures at Big Easy Flooring consider the intended function of spaces receiving epoxy coatings, existing concrete conditions, client preferences regarding appearance, and performance criteria relevant to specific applications. These factors inform recommendations regarding appropriate coating systems and application specifications for individual projects.

Composite Bonding Hemel Hempstead Cosmetic Dentist Dr Dhivesh Patel Recommends Treatments at Boxmoor House Dental Practice

Dacorum, England - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Boxmoor House Dental Practice has opened consultation slots for private patients interested in composite bonding treatments. Dr Dhivesh Patel, Principal Dentist at the practice, pointed to the availability of cosmetic dentistry options for anyone wanting to improve the appearance of their teeth. Those considering composite bonding can now book appointments at the practice.
Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material directly to the tooth surface. The material gets shaped and polished to blend with natural tooth structure, and the treatment tackles various cosmetic concerns. Composite bonding often gets considered for people dealing with chipped, discoloured, or slightly misaligned teeth. The resin material goes directly onto the tooth and hardens under a special light, letting the dental team build up areas where needed and create a more even appearance.

The practice noted that composite bonding differs from other cosmetic treatments because it typically needs minimal preparation of the natural tooth. In many cases, the procedure gets completed without extensive tooth reduction, though circumstances vary from person to person. The treatment can also close small gaps between teeth or alter the shape and length of individual teeth. Each case gets assessed during the consultation stage to work out whether composite bonding is the right approach.
For more details about composite bonding, readers may visit: https://boxmoordental.co.uk/cosmetic-dentistry/composite-bonding-hemel-hempstead/.
Dr Dhivesh Patel spoke about composite bonding as a treatment option. "Composite bonding offers a conservative approach to cosmetic dentistry because it preserves most of the natural tooth structure. The material bonds directly to the enamel, which means we can make improvements without significant tooth preparation. The longevity depends on factors like the patient's bite, their oral hygiene, and where the bonding is placed. It's particularly useful for younger patients or anyone who wants to improve their smile without committing to more permanent restorations."
Consultations at Boxmoor House Dental Practice start with checking dental health and discussing concerns. The dental team examines teeth and gums to make sure any underlying issues get identified before cosmetic treatment starts. During the appointment, patients can discuss what they hope to achieve and ask questions about the process. The consultation includes reviewing dental history and any health considerations that might affect treatment suitability. Treatment planning gets discussed individually, with particular attention on the condition of teeth and what patients expect. Not everyone ends up being suitable for composite bonding, and alternative options may get discussed where appropriate. The assessment looks at tooth structure, bite alignment, and overall oral health.
Additional information about the range of cosmetic dentistry treatments available at the practice can be found at: https://boxmoordental.co.uk/cosmetic-dentistry/.
This is one of the cosmetic dental services that the practice offers to patients in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas. Boxmoor House Dental Practice can help patients get a whiter smile, porcelain veneers, dental crowns and a smile makeover. Patients talk about each treatment with their doctor to find out which one might work best for them. The practice does cosmetic treatments in private, and the cost of the treatments is talked about during consultations to make sure everyone is on the same page.
The availability of composite bonding consultations reflects ongoing interest from patients seeking cosmetic improvements to their smile. Consultations let the dental team understand what motivates patients and provide information that helps them make informed decisions about their care. The practice made clear that suitability for composite bonding gets determined case by case. How much damage exists on the teeth, oral hygiene habits, and expectations all play a role in the assessment process. For patients who may not be suitable for composite bonding, alternative cosmetic treatments can get explored during the consultation.
For further details about the practice and its approach to dental care, readers can visit: https://boxmoordental.co.uk/.


Boxmoor House Dental Practice operates privately, accepting patients for both cosmetic dental treatments and other dental care options. The dental team works with patients to develop treatment plans that address their needs while considering factors such as budget, timeline, and personal preferences. Boxmoor House Dental Practice confirmed that appointments are available for patients interested in arranging a composite bonding consultation.

Pawcredible’s New Freeze Dried Line Promises Nutrition and Taste for UK Dog Lovers

CHIPPING NORTON, OXON - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Pawcredible, a premium UK dog food brand, is strengthening its position in the growing freeze dried dog food category with its flagship BioBowl Fusion range (https://pawcredible.org/). As demand increases for higher quality, nutrient-dense dog nutrition across the UK, Pawcredible is focusing on ingredient transparency, science-backed formulation, and responsible UK manufacturing.
The UK pet food market has seen rising interest in freeze dried dog food as owners look for alternatives to heavily processed kibble and treats. Increasing awareness around ingredient sourcing, nutritional bioavailability, and long-term health outcomes is influencing purchasing decisions. Dog owners are actively seeking products that align more closely with natural feeding principles, without sacrificing convenience or safety.

Freeze drying is widely recognised as one of the most effective preservation methods in modern food production. By removing moisture at low temperatures, freeze drying helps retain the natural structure of proteins and nutrients while extending shelf life without artificial preservatives. For pet nutrition, this process allows brands to deliver raw-level nutrition without the storage and hygiene challenges associated with frozen raw feeding.
Pawcredible’s BioBowl Fusion (https://pawcredible.org/products/biobowl-fusion-6kg) combines crunchy kibble with a freeze dried raw coating, delivering raw-level nutrition in a convenient, shelf-stable format. This fusion approach is designed to bridge the gap between traditional kibble and fully raw diets. The result is a product that supports optimal nutrient retention while remaining easy for owners to store, serve, and integrate into daily feeding routines.
Unlike many conventional products, Pawcredible emphasizes real meat proteins, functional superfoods, and clean ingredient sourcing. Each formula is carefully developed to support digestion, muscle development, immune health, and overall vitality. Ingredients such as turmeric, flaxseed, and natural prebiotics are included to promote gut health and anti-inflammatory support, aligning with growing consumer demand for functional nutrition.
Founder Robert Ellery said the brand was created to address a gap in the UK premium dog food space. (https://pawcredible.org/pages/our-story)
“We created Pawcredible to raise the standard of what premium UK dog food should look like. Freeze-dried nutrition preserves natural nutrients without fillers or artificial additives, but just as importantly, it removes the inconvenience often associated with raw feeding. Owners shouldn’t have to store food in the freezer, defrost portions, or measure and scoop from messy containers. BioBowl Fusion delivers raw-level nutrition in a format that is clean, shelf-stable, and simple to serve, without compromising on quality or performance.”
Convenience was a core part of the brand’s development strategy. While many pet owners are attracted to the perceived benefits of raw feeding, practical barriers often limit long-term adoption. Freezer storage requirements, thawing times, hygiene considerations, and portion management can make raw diets difficult to sustain consistently. Pawcredible’s freeze dried coating technology was developed specifically to eliminate these friction points while maintaining nutritional integrity.
In addition to formulation standards, Pawcredible prioritises responsible UK production. Manufacturing within the UK allows for tighter quality control, traceability, and compliance with domestic food safety standards. As supply chain transparency becomes increasingly important to consumers, UK-based production provides an added layer of reassurance regarding sourcing and oversight.
Industry data suggests that premiumisation within the UK pet food market continues to accelerate, with dog owners willing to invest more in products that demonstrate clear health benefits and ingredient transparency. Freeze dried dog food represents one of the fastest-growing segments within this premium category. Pawcredible aims to position itself at the forefront of this shift by combining modern freeze drying techniques with performance-focused nutrition and clear, accessible communication around ingredients.
By integrating freeze dried technology with a familiar feeding format, Pawcredible is targeting dog owners who want the benefits of raw-level nutrition without compromising on practicality. The BioBowl Fusion range reflects a broader movement within the pet industry toward cleaner labels, functional ingredients, and higher manufacturing standards.

Ornate Home Expands Outdoor Furniture Collections to Meet Growing Market Demand

SANTA ANA, CA - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Ornate Home, a retailer specializing in home furnishings and mattresses, has expanded its outdoor patio furniture collections to address surging consumer demand in Southern California's year-round outdoor living market. The expansion comes as the U.S. outdoor furniture market reaches $6.53 billion in 2025 and projects growth to $8.41 billion by 2030, according to publicly available industry data from Mordor Intelligence.
The company's enhanced outdoor furniture offerings arrive at a pivotal moment for the industry. Recent publicly available research from ICFA and Wakefield Research indicates that 59 percent of consumers plan to purchase outdoor furniture in 2025, while 53 percent of homeowners updated their outdoor spaces in 2024, up from 34 percent in 2022. The Western United States leads this growth with a 6.2 percent compound annual growth rate, positioning California as a high-opportunity market.

"The convergence of market growth, regional climate advantages, and evolving consumer preferences has created significant demand for outdoor living solutions," said Mehmet Uncuoglu, CEO of Ornate Home. "Southern California homeowners increasingly view their outdoor spaces as natural extensions of their indoor living areas, driving interest in durable, stylish furniture that can withstand year-round use."
According to industry analysts, the Western U.S. outdoor living market is among the fastest-growing segments in home furnishings, driven by climate, demographics, and rising home values, a trend reflected in regional compound annual growth rates exceeding the national average.
Santa Ana's climate particularly supports this trend, with 279 sunny days annually—36 percent above the national average of 205 days, according to BestPlaces data. This extended outdoor season directly correlates with increased demand for premium patio furniture and outdoor living investments.
The expanded collection at Ornate Home includes sectional sets, outdoor tables, dining sets, and lounge furniture designed to meet diverse style preferences and space requirements. The company offers nationwide shipping and financing options to accommodate various customer needs.
Orange County's demographic profile further supports the outdoor furniture market expansion. The region encompasses approximately 606,000 homeowner households with a median household income of $113,702, according to U.S. Census data. With median home prices at approximately $1.2 million, homeowners in the area frequently invest in premium outdoor upgrades that align with their property values.
Industry data from NAR and Remodeling Magazine reveals that outdoor space improvements in the Pacific region deliver an estimated 95 to 111 percent return on investment, making them among the most value-protective home upgrades available. This financial incentive, combined with lifestyle preferences — 77 percent of Americans wish they spent more time outdoors — reinforces the sustained demand for quality outdoor furnishings.
The company's expansion reflects broader industry trends toward indoor-outdoor convergence, with homeowners seeking cohesive design elements that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Weather-resistant materials, modular designs, and multifunctional pieces have become increasingly important as consumers invest in creating comfortable, durable outdoor environments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq8sjdd1yf0
Ornate Home, a furniture and mattress retailer serving customers nationwide through its e-commerce platform and showrooms in Santa Ana, California, and Charlotte, North Carolina, offers customers the opportunity to experience furniture collections in person and online. The company specializes in living room, bedroom, kitchen and dining, and outdoor furniture categories, providing comprehensive home furnishing solutions for residential customers.

Knowledge Train Launches Agile Project Management Website

LONDON, UK - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Knowledge Train has launched a new online resource designed in London to explain agile project management in clear, practical terms for a broad professional audience. The website brings together guidance, examples and commentary for people seeking to understand how agile approaches can improve collaboration, strengthen delivery and reduce risk across a range of projects. By focusing on visibility of work, open communication and carefully managed change, the resource aims to show how agile methods help teams respond to shifting priorities without causing unnecessary disruption. The launch is intended to support organisations and individuals that want a reliable introduction to agile concepts before committing time or budget to more formal training. It also reflects growing demand for accessible explanations of project management practices that emphasise adaptability and continuous improvement.
The new website is being positioned as a practical starting point for people encountering agile concepts for the first time as well as a reference for those already working within agile environments. Rather than emphasising tools or jargon, the content highlights how agile practices can enhance collaboration, clarify responsibilities and keep work visible across an entire team. Commenting on the launch, Jay Gao, Operations Manager at Knowledge Train, said, “Many organisations recognise the importance of agile project management, but staff often lack a clear and trustworthy explanation of what it means in daily work. This website is intended to bridge that gap by offering straightforward guidance that supports better communication, faster problem‑solving and more confident delivery.” Gao noted that the material is structured so readers can move from introductory overviews to deeper explorations of topics such as retrospectives, stakeholder engagement and managed organisational change.
At the centre of the new resource is an accessible overview of agile principles, supported by sections on team visibility, collaborative communication, continuous retrospective analysis and managed organisational change. Visitors to https://whatisagileprojectmanagement.com/ can read about how agile teams make work transparent, discuss issues openly and agree changes that balance stability with improvement. The content outlines how regular reflection between releases enables teams to identify what is working, what needs to change and how middle management can introduce adjustments without undermining existing structures. For readers who decide they would benefit from more structured learning, the site signposts to an agile project management course that develops practical skills for applying these concepts in real projects. In this way, the website functions as both an independent information hub and a bridge towards more formal development pathways.
In outlining the broader relevance of the launch, Knowledge Train emphasises that agile thinking is now influencing work far beyond technology teams. Recent articles on the site explore how iterative planning, frequent stakeholder contact and short delivery cycles can be adapted for public services, education providers and non‑profit organisations facing shifting expectations. Jay Gao, Operations Manager at Knowledge Train, said, “Agile has become a practical framework for dealing with uncertainty in many different environments, not a specialist technique reserved for software projects. When people understand the underlying principles, they are better equipped to structure work, share information and maintain trust even when priorities change at short notice.” The commentary notes that these practices align with recommendations from professional bodies that encourage greater transparency, continuous learning and realistic planning in complex project environments.
By gathering guidance, explanations and news in one place, the website offers a stable reference point for people navigating increasingly dynamic project conditions. The material suggests that organisations which fail to embrace principles such as visibility, open communication and regular analysis may struggle to identify emerging risks before they affect customers or internal stakeholders. Conversely, teams that adopt agile habits are portrayed as more capable of responding to sudden changes in technology, regulation or market demand without sacrificing quality. The articles explore how skills associated with agile project management, including the ability to break work into smaller increments and review outcomes frequently, can help reduce the likelihood of large‑scale failures. Over time, the resource is expected to evolve in response to reader feedback and emerging practice, reflecting how agile ideas themselves emphasise learning, adaptation and incremental refinement.
As the new site grows, Knowledge Train intends for it to remain freely available as a neutral source of information about agile concepts and their application in contemporary project environments. Readers who wish to explore the company’s broader work in project management and related disciplines can follow links from the resource through to the Knowledge Train website, where additional courses, articles and support materials are described. Together, the two sites are designed to offer a pathway from initial curiosity about agile ideas to more structured development for individuals and teams seeking to strengthen their ability to plan, deliver and adapt projects. By consolidating explanations, examples and signposts to further learning, the initiative aims to support a wide audience that is working to maintain effective delivery in the face of continual change.

Algo Trading Space Launches Space Tracker: Advanced Trading Journal and Analytics Platform for VIP Members

ELIN PELIN, BG - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Algo Trading Space announced today the launch of Space Tracker, a comprehensive trading journal and analytics platform that combines real-time performance tracking with advanced trade analysis capabilities. The new tool is initially available exclusively to members of the Algo Trading Space VIP Club, with plans to offer wider access through a monthly subscription model in the coming months.
Space Tracker represents a significant advancement in trading analytics technology, addressing longstanding reliability concerns with third-party tracking solutions. The platform connects directly to MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 terminals through a read-only tracking robot, eliminating the need for password sharing or trading permissions while collecting no personal data from users.
"Space Tracker was developed to provide traders with a more reliable and comprehensive solution for monitoring their trading performance," said a spokesperson for Algo Trading Space. "The platform brings together the analytical capabilities traders expect from traditional tracking services with the detailed journaling features that help traders refine their strategies over time."
The platform deployment process requires users to log in at tracker.algotradingspace.com using their existing Algo Trading Space credentials. After downloading the MetaTrader robot and configuration file from the settings panel, users place the files in their MetaTrader MQL folder, attach the robot to a chart, and load the provided settings file. An optional feature allows traders to set custom start dates for fresh tracking periods.
Space Tracker provides real-time monitoring of balance, equity, and maximum equity drawdown metrics. The platform offers symbol exposure analysis and performance summaries, with advanced filtering capabilities that allow traders to segment data by broker, virtual private server, individual trades, and trading symbols. Trade analysis extends to magic number identification, duration tracking, and pip calculations.
A notable feature within Space Tracker is the Progress Tracker, specifically designed for traders participating in proprietary trading firm challenges. This component helps traders monitor their progress against challenge requirements and risk parameters. The platform also includes a snapshot feature that enables users to add notes and track account changes over time, creating a historical record of trading decisions and market conditions.
Algo Trading Space has outlined an ambitious development roadmap for Space Tracker that extends beyond the current feature set. Upcoming enhancements include artificial intelligence-powered comparison tools that will analyze the differences between backtested performance and live trading results. Additional planned features include portfolio-level insights and enhanced risk monitoring capabilities designed to help traders identify potential issues before they impact account performance.
The decision to launch Space Tracker initially to VIP Club members reflects Algo Trading Space's strategy of providing early access to new tools and features for its most engaged community members. This approach allows the company to gather feedback and refine the platform based on real-world usage before expanding availability to the broader trading community.
Algo Trading Space enters a market currently served by established platforms including FXBlue and Myfxbook for analytics, and TradeZella for journaling capabilities. The new platform distinguishes itself through its integrated approach that combines both analytics and journaling functions within a single interface.

The Homestar Group Prepares for Winter Pipe Burst Season in Atlanta

February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Homestar Group is alerting property owners across the Atlanta metropolitan area about the heightened risk of burst pipes as winter weather settles into the region. The restoration services company, which has operated in Georgia since 2010, reports that fluctuating temperatures during the winter months create ideal conditions for pipe failures that can lead to extensive and costly property damage. As cold fronts move through North Georgia, the combination of brief freezes and rapid warmups places significant stress on plumbing systems in both residential and commercial buildings.
Atlanta’s winter climate presents unique challenges for property owners. While the region does not typically experience prolonged periods of extreme cold, the intermittent dips below freezing are enough to cause water inside pipes to expand. When temperatures rise again, the contraction that follows can weaken pipe walls or cause existing vulnerabilities to rupture. The Homestar Group notes that many Atlanta-area homes and businesses—particularly those with basements, crawl spaces, or aging plumbing—are especially susceptible to these temperature swings. Older copper and galvanized steel pipes, which are still common in many neighborhoods, face an even higher risk of cracking under pressure.

“Our team has responded to countless emergencies caused by burst pipes during winter months, and we understand how quickly water damage can escalate when a pipe fails,” said Jeremy York, Owner of The Homestar Group. “Property owners who take preventive measures now can avoid the stress and expense of dealing with extensive water damage later.” York emphasizes that even a small crack can release a significant amount of water in a short period of time, often catching property owners off guard.
Burst pipes can release hundreds of gallons of water into a property within hours, affecting structural components, flooring, drywall, insulation, and personal belongings. Water can travel behind walls, beneath flooring, and into hidden cavities, creating ideal conditions for mold growth if not addressed promptly. The Homestar Group’s IICRC‑certified technicians provide 24/7 emergency response to contain the damage, extract standing water, and begin the drying process as quickly as possible. Their team uses advanced moisture detection tools to identify water intrusion in areas that may not be visible to the naked eye.
The company advises property owners to watch for early warning signs of pipe vulnerability, including visible condensation on plumbing, reduced water pressure, unusual noises such as banging or whistling, and discoloration on walls or ceilings near pipe runs. To reduce risk, The Homestar Group recommends insulating exposed pipes, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures—even when away from home—and ensuring that outdoor hose bibs are properly winterized. Knowing the location of the main water shutoff valve is also critical, as shutting off the water supply immediately can significantly limit damage if a pipe bursts.
The Homestar Group provides comprehensive water damage restoration services throughout the Atlanta area, including Marietta, Conyers, Decatur, and Stone Mountain. Their emergency response team manages the full restoration process, from initial water extraction and structural drying to repairs and reconstruction. The company also works directly with insurance providers to simplify the claims process and help property owners navigate what can often be an overwhelming situation.
With more than 15 years of experience serving the Atlanta metropolitan area, The Homestar Group has developed specialized protocols tailored to Georgia’s climate and building characteristics. Their staff of 30 trained professionals responds to emergencies at any hour, ensuring that property owners receive timely support when they need it most.
Property owners who experience a burst pipe are urged to shut off the main water supply immediately and contact a professional restoration service. A rapid response within the first 24 to 48 hours can dramatically reduce the extent of damage and overall restoration costs.

The Homestar Group continues to provide 24‑hour emergency services throughout the winter season and offers free estimates within 24 hours of initial contact

VizzEx Launches Beta for WordPress and HubSpot Blog Analysis

SHERIDAN, WY - February 19, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
VizzEx™, the first Helpful Content Analysis tool for blogs, has opened beta access designed for WordPress and HubSpot users. The platform analyzes complete set of blog articles to map content relationships and surface internal linking opportunities through a comprehensive roadmap.
VizzEx™, developed by Kim Albee and VizzEx founder, is the practical platform created to connect and protect site architecture in both search AND AI. Traditional SEO tools evaluate posts individually, checking metrics like keyword density and readability. VizzEx™ operates on a post collection-level model, analyzing how posts within a blog relate to one another semantically. The platform identifies posts that cover similar topics but lack cross-references.
Carolyn Holzman, contributor and partner in VizzEx™, two years prior to the software's development identified what Google's Helpful Content System was measuring. Her research, based on over a year of SEO testing and field data indexation analysis, determined that the HC system evaluates content based on topical cohesion across a domain, how well each page aligns or does not align with a site's established topical identity.
Holzman's findings indicated that Google assigns "unhelpful" tags to content that deviates or duplicates pages topically from the broader site architecture, regardless of the individual page's quality. This research was validated in the April 2024 Google API leak by describing the measurements to "siteFocusScore" and "siteRadius" metrics which mirrored Holzman's research published two weeks prior. The leak established that there is a Google system that evaluates pages as part of topical groups rather than in isolation which was similarly described in research data.
"Two years ago it was satisfying to confirm what the Helpful Content System measures," said Carolyn Holzman. "And through an independent path centering on how LLMs focus on semantic relationships, VizzEx™, quite by chance, provided further confirmation of my research by mapping a site's topical architecture and roadmap to explictly connect the semantic dots . In my opinion, being able to surface those relationships to align with Helpful Content, rather than guess at it, is the logical next step of my research.”
"Most blogs have accumulated content over years without systematic attention to how posts connect," said Albee. "The platform surfaces relationships that exist in the material but aren't represented in the linking structure. For content teams managing large archives, this provides a data-driven approach to internal linking decisions."
Search engines have always emphasized site architecture and internal linking as signals of topical authority. Google's documentation notes that internal links help crawlers understand page relationships and distribute ranking signals. Recent industry analysis indicates that strategic internal linking correlates with improved crawl efficiency and indexation rates.
VizzEx™ enters a market with established SEO analysis tools, differentiating through its focus on cross-page or horizontal content relationships rather than a single-page optimization. VizzEx™ employs advanced semantic analysis to map clients' blog content and surface authentic expertise signals.
The platform connects directly to WordPress through a plugin and HubSpot installations by an app which customers connect their own Claude API key. After running a baseline analysis, users receive a content relationship map showing which posts share topical overlap and specific recommendations for internal links that connect related material. The tool also generates "connectivity scores" measuring how integrated each post is within the broader site architecture. And makes recommendations on page structure. More features are slated for development in 2026.


The beta program is open to WordPress and HubSpot users with existing blog content. During February and March 2026, weekly check in video calls are scheduled every Thursday to answer questions and share updated features VizzEx™ has not announced general availability dates or pricing. Interested users can request access through the VizzEx™ website.
