EnergyCAP Adds Insights to its Energy Management Platform as Customers Report 3x More Value Than They Pay

Catalyst Converge brings EnergyCAP Insights, powered by Watts AI, to utility teams to surface the issues that matter most and make complex utility data easy to explore at any level of expertise - grounded in their own validated data, not the open web

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — EnergyCAP®, the leading utility and energy management platform for public and private sector organizations, announced Insights, a new capability to their energy and utility management platform, that brings reporting, alerting and prioritization together so energy teams can focus on what’s most important. The announcement came at Catalyst Converge, the company’s 20th annual conference where energy, facilities, finance and sustainability teams are gathered for three days of learning, collaboration, and product innovation.

Image caption: EnergyCAP, the leading utility and energy management platform for public and private sector organizations.

This year’s event marks two decades of the annual, in-person conference, bringing together longtime customers as well as those experiencing Catalyst for the first time. The 2026 theme, Converge, reflects how energy management is changing as data, teams, and technology come together to solve increasingly complex challenges.

Closely following EnergyCAP Watts AI and Watts Chat, which were released earlier this year, Insights is built on powerful AI technology that lets users better understand their data and quickly surface their most pressing issues.

Beyond new products like Insights, EnergyCAP is applying the latest AI and automation across the platform to strengthen proven workflows. In Bill Capture, new technology improves processing speed and accuracy while reducing manual work and exceptions.

The launch follows a productive year for the platform. Last month, the company released its 2026 Value of EnergyCAP report, based on responses from customers across every industry they serve. Among the findings, more than 9 in 10 customers say that EnergyCAP meets or exceeds their ROI expectations, 1 in 4 had their expectations exceeded, and customers report receiving 3 times more value from EnergyCAP than they pay for it.

“Twenty years of Catalyst have taught us the same thing every year: the best ideas in utility management come from the people doing the work,” said Shawn Lankton, CEO of EnergyCAP. “Our customers don’t need help finding more problems — they have plenty competing for their time and attention. They need help prioritizing what matters and getting the right data in the right format to share across teams. Our latest product innovation brings those pieces together so our customers can focus on the work that has the greatest impact.”

Watts Reports allows all customers, regardless of expertise or experience, to quickly build the custom reports that simplify their complex data into exactly what they need, then refine, save, rerun, and share the report output. Watts Alerts let customers define what matters to them and choose how they want to be notified when it happens. The Signals dashboard brings key issues and priorities into one place, ranked by impact so teams know where to focus first.

Together, these capabilities form Insights and extend EnergyCAP’s broader investment in AI and automation while building on the centralized data and longstanding technology customers have trusted for more than four decades.

Melanie Stewart, Senior Sustainability and Energy Consultant at IMEG, said “We’ve started creating reports around the questions we’re trying to answer, with the flexibility to refine and reuse them as our needs change. Even from our early experience, we’re excited about the value Watts Reports could bring to our team.”

Catalyst Converge continues September 14–16 in Orlando, Florida. The program features founder and former CEO, Steve Heinz, athletes and advocates for inclusion Kyle and Brent Pease, multiple learning tracks, and customer-led sessions including NASA Kennedy Space Center, Miami-Dade County, and the University of Arizona.

The next Catalyst is already taking shape and is planned for September 20-22, 2027, in Austin, Texas.

About EnergyCAP

EnergyCAP is the leading utility and energy management platform, trusted by more than 750 organizations and tracking more than $100 billion in utility bill value annually.

Seriously Italian. Never Serious. – Naples Flatbread Debuts a Reinvented Menu at Miromar Outlets Sept 14

Italian Tacos, a Roman-trend mortadella pizza, a 54-tap self-pour wall - and a dog menu with a Wagyu burger

ESTERO, Fla., Sept. 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Naples Flatbread Kitchen & Bar has launched a top-to-bottom reinvention of its menu on Monday, September 14 at Miromar Outlets — the heart of a rebrand built on one promise — seriously Italian, never serious.

Image caption: Italian Tacos, Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Flatbread, at Naples Flatbread Kitchen and Bar.

Guests have taken to calling it “the fun Italian,” and the family-run restaurant is happy to wear it: authentic Italian ingredients, none of the formality.

THE NEW MENU LEADS WITH

Italian Tacos

— warm piadina folded around fillings like limoncello shrimp and Grandpa Vinny’s meatballs with ricotta alongside

La Mortazza

— the restaurant’s take on the mortadella-and-stracciatella pizza currently sweeping Rome and Bologna;

Three Little Pigs

— a ham-pepperoni-pancetta pie finished with hot honey; and scratch pastas like

Pasta e Piselli

— Grandmas original peas and macaroni with pancetta recipe

The kitchen’s foundation stays proudly serious: San Marzano DOP tomatoes, a proprietary high-gluten/Caputo 00 flour blend, and a 700-degree hearth oven.

Beyond the plate, the restaurant leans into what already makes it one of the area’s more unusual rooms:

— Southwest Florida’s original 54-tap self-pour wall with beer, cider, botanicals, meads, and cocktails poured by the ounce

— a guest-controlled jukebox, and

— a dog-friendly patio that now gets its own Pup Menu, headlined by an 8-ounce “Wagyu Woofer.”

The reinvention arrives as the restaurant enters its 18th year at Miromar Outlets — eighteen years of refusing to sit still. When Naples Flatbread opened in February 2009, the menu was a modest lineup of paninis, pizzas, flatbreads, and a handful of pastas, served with beer and wine only. Since then the concept has never stopped evolving — a full bar, then the self-pour tap wall, interior remodels every four to five years, and now a menu rebuilt top to bottom.

“We’re seriously Italian about ingredients and never serious about anything else,” said owner Ralph Desiano, who operates the restaurant with his wife. “We’ve been reinventing this place since 2009 — keeping things fresh for our guests is the whole point. And if nonna wouldn’t approve of a pizza named Three Little Pigs, she hasn’t tasted it yet.”

The food menu is only the first act. A reinvented drink menu follows close behind, led by “Italia, Poured” — an all-Italian cocktail section — and a barrel program crowned by the Starlight Mizunara Reserve, a bourbon finished in rare Japanese Mizunara oak that was named Best Overall Bourbon at the 2025 World Spirits Competition. A rebuilt weekend brunch arrives in October. Email subscribers get early access Sept 14–17; a public launch party follows in early October, with jukebox happy hour, tap-wall specials, and the dog patio in full swing.

One Year and a Day, a Father Marks the Milestone With a Large Print Edition and a 35 City Book Tour to Light Up the Shadows

'Calling Out the Shadows' arrives as a two-volume Large Print Edition, sized to the 18-point standard for readers who find small print hard, as the author prepares to take to the road

GULF BREEZE, Fla., July 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — One year and a day ago, on July 15, 2025, Neal Winsomer wrote the first words of “Calling Out the Shadows: A Father’s Stand Against the Current” (ISBN: 979-8995335146), now released in a two volume Large Print Edition through Neal Winsomer Publishing LLC. A week later he sets out on a 35-city U.S. book tour.

Image caption: “Calling Out the Shadows” arrives as a two-volume Large Print Edition.

“Calling Out the Shadows” first reached readers on June 16, 2026, when it released in paperback, hardcover, eBook, audiobook, and the Skimmer’s Edition. This Large Print Edition now joins that lineup on July 16, 2026, one year and a day after the writing began.

A Large Print Edition is seen by many as a more accessible format for people who have trouble with small print. The American Council of the Blind recommends a body text well above the roughly 10-to-12-point type of a standard trade book for readers with low vision. The World Health Organization reports that reduced vision affects a large and growing share of people worldwide, a group that keeps expanding as the population ages. Older readers, readers with low vision, and readers who find smaller type tiring are among those this edition can serve, and it supports library collections that stock accessible formats, with the same text as the standard edition.

The book’s full body text is reset at an 18-point type, the size the American Council of the Blind recommends for low vision readers, and split across two volumes so each book stays a comfortable weight to hold. Volume 1 (ISBN: 979-8995335146) runs 562 pages and holds the narrative, the story from start to finish. Volume 2 (ISBN: 979-8995335184) runs 368 pages and holds the ten appendices, tools, and reference material. Together the set carries the full 58 chapters and all ten appendices, complete and unabridged.

Written as both a memoir and a practical guide in plain first person, the book follows roughly ten years in which one father kept a careful record for his daughter and chose steadiness over reaction at each turn. It is organized around four principles: clarity over comfort, transparency over secrecy, structure over spin, and love over anger.

Volume 2 gathers the practical framework drawn from the same account across ten appendices. Among them: a worked catalog of two dozen ways a difficult conversation gets deflected or sidestepped, an alphabetized field guide to the hard behaviors a co-parent may meet, a set of frameworks for assembling durable records with the aid of artificial intelligence, and the author’s protected narrative approach for bringing a sensitive story forward within legal and platform limits.

BookLife, from Publishers Weekly, calls the book, “a precise, emotive memoir of effort, resilience, and connection, with a welcome emphasis on the practical.” The Midwest Book Review calls it, “well written, organized and presented.” IndieReader rated it 4.4 and gave it the IR Approved mark, and its reviewer Nicci Attfield calls it, “both a companion and a guide,” and “a love letter to a daughter, and a lifeboat for everyone who shares his situation.”

On July 24, one week and a day after the Large Print Edition, the author sets out on the Light Up the Shadows Book Tour: 35 cities across 12 states, from California to Florida, over about 42 days and a documented 999 hours on the road. The full route is posted at the publisher’s site.

“It took 999 hours of writing and editing to make this book,” says Winsomer. “Now it is 999 hours on the road. A Large Print Edition release, and then the miles. That is how I am carrying this to the next phase.”

“Calling Out the Shadows: A Father’s Stand Against the Current” is available online and in bookstores, in paperback (979-8995335115), hardcover (979-8995335160), eBook (979-8995335177), audiobook (979-8995335122), Skimmer’s Edition eBook (979-8995335139), Large Print Volume 1 (979-8995335146), Large Print Volume 2 (979-8995335184), and Library Audio Edition (979-8995335108).

ADU Builder in Tampa Bay: Craftline Remodeling Brings Architects, Engineers, and Designers In-House as New Florida Law Drives Demand

As Florida's SB 184 opens accessory dwelling units across Tampa and St. Petersburg, Craftline Remodeling keeps design, architecture, engineering, permitting, and construction on one accountable team - with transparent, fixed-price proposals and on-schedule delivery

TAMPA, Fla., July 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Homeowners searching for an ADU builder in Tampa or St. Petersburg have a new reason to act and a full-service option in Craftline Remodeling, a licensed Florida design-build contractor (CBC1269114) that handles accessory dwelling units and garage conversions entirely in-house.

Image caption: A detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) built by Craftline Remodeling.

Under Florida Senate Bill 184, which amended Florida Statute 163.31771 effective July 1, 2025, local governments are now required to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on single-family residential lots, with additional legislation (SB 48) under consideration in the 2026 session. The change has made backyard cottages, attached suites, and garage conversions attainable for thousands of Tampa Bay homeowners.

WHAT SETS CRAFTLINE APART FOR ADU PROJECTS:

In-house architect, engineer, and designer. Craftline keeps design, architecture, and engineering on one team — no subcontracted handoffs so the permit-ready drawings reflect a buildable, code-compliant, compatible design.
One accountable team, concept to certificate of occupancy. Design, material sourcing, permitting, and construction are managed under one roof.
Transparent, fixed-price proposals. Homeowners receive a clear, detailed project proposal with no hidden costs. On-schedule delivery. Projects are managed to clear timelines.
Local permitting expertise. Craftline handles zoning review, setbacks, lot-eligibility verification, and utility connections for St. Petersburg, the City of Tampa, and Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties including St. Petersburg’s architectural-compatibility standard.
Licensed and proven. A fully licensed and insured Florida certified building contractor (CBC1269114) with 100 plus verified five-star Google reviews and membership in NKBA, NARI Tampa Bay, NAHB, and TBBA.

WHY THE IN-HOUSE MODEL MATTERS NOW

St. Petersburg runs one of the region’s most ADU-friendly programs the majority of single-family lots qualify, with ADUs generally allowed up to about 800 square feet but requires each ADU to be architecturally compatible with the main home. The City of Tampa allows ADUs up to roughly 950 square feet in eligible zones, and Hillsborough County permits them under the state framework. Meeting those standards is far more reliable when architecture, engineering, and construction sit on the same team than when a homeowner coordinates separate vendors.

“An ADU comes down to whether the design that gets drawn is the design that actually gets approved and built,” said the team at Craftline Remodeling. “Because our architect, engineer, and designer work in-house alongside our permitting and construction teams, we give homeowners a fixed-price proposal, a clear timeline, and one team accountable from the first concept to the final inspection.”

Craftline builds detached ADUs, attached suites, and garage conversions across St. Petersburg, Seminole, Seminole Heights, South Tampa, Carrollwood, Clearwater, and Wesley Chapel. Homeowners can verify their parcel’s eligibility with their city or county and request a complimentary ADU design consultation at https://craftlineremodeling.com/adu-builder-tampa-bay/.

ABOUT CRAFTLINE REMODELING

Craftline Remodeling is a design-build remodeling contractor serving the Tampa Bay region, specializing in kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, and ADU/garage-conversion projects. Licensed as a Florida certified building contractor (CBC1269114), the company brings design, architecture, engineering, material sourcing, permitting, and construction in-house for homeowners across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties, with locations in South Tampa (306 E Tyler St) and St. Petersburg (5741 9th Ave N, Suite 101).

Florida Attorney General Uthmeier Becomes First in Nation to Subpoena CVS’s Secret Contracts with Drug Manufacturers, Distributors, and Pharmacies

Landmark Action Aims to Expose Opaque PBM Practices Driving Up Drug Costs and Threatening Independent Pharmacy Access

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., June 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Small Business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) today praised Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier for becoming the first attorney general in the United States to subpoena CVS’s confidential contracts with drug manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and both chain and independent retail pharmacies. The subpoenas represent a historic step toward exposing the secretive pricing and contracting practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that patient advocates and independent pharmacists say have driven up prescription drug costs and jeopardized patients’ access to community pharmacy care.

Image caption: Small business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) is a group of Floridian neighborhood pharmacists and other advocates.

“We appreciate Attorney General Uthmeier for standing up to CVS and the vertically integrated PBMs on behalf of Floridians seeking answers to the continuing problems of ever-increasing price and shrinking patient accessibility to prescription medication,” said Dawn Butterfield, SPAR president. “Floridians are entitled to know and understand how PBM contract terms may affect their access to care and the price they pay at the pharmacy counter.”

“The subpoenas will compel CVS to produce contracts that have never been subject to public scrutiny, including agreements governing drug pricing with manufacturers, wholesaler purchase terms, and the reimbursement and network participation conditions imposed on retail pharmacies,” said Barney Bishop, SPAR’s CEO. “Transparency into these agreements will allow investigators to assess whether CVS’s contracting practices comply with state consumer protection and antitrust law, and whether patients are being harmed by the systemic elimination of independent pharmacy competition.”

“SPAR urges state attorneys general across the country to follow Florida’s lead and examine whether PBM contracting practices in their states are harming patients and independent pharmacies,” Mr. Bishop said.

ABOUT SPAR

Small business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) is a group of Floridian neighborhood pharmacists and other advocates focused stopping anti-competitive practices that PBMs use to short circuit the free market while placing additional burdens on patients and pharmacists. SPAR is committed to championing legislation that promotes neighborhood pharmacies’ ability to continue providing medications and care to the local patients and communities they serve.

Memoir and Practical Guide Shares How One Father Approached High Conflict Co-Parenting with Love Over Anger

The book offers a measured, grounded perspective on one of the most emotionally complex situations a parent can face

GULF BREEZE, Fla., June 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Calling Out the Shadows: A Father’s Stand Against the Current” (ISBN: 979-8995335160) is a memoir released June 16 through Neal Winsomer Publishing LLC. Over the course of 10 years, the author, Neal Winsomer, observed, recorded and reflected on the challenging dynamics of co-parenting in a high-conflict environment. What emerged was not only a personal account, but a thoughtful examination of how difficult behaviors were identified over time, how they were navigated with intention, and what hard-won lessons were learned along the way.

Image caption: “Calling Out the Shadows” by Neal Winsomer.

Built from 999 documented hours of writing, the book offers a measured, grounded perspective on one of the most emotionally complex situations a parent can face — and charts a path toward clarity, boundaries and healing.

“What began as a letter to my daughter turned into a memoir and a practical guide,” says Winsomer.

Written with empathy and care, the book speaks to anyone who may be navigating a relationship — past or present — with someone who exhibits narcissistic traits or has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It offers thoughtful guidance on how to respond, react and reset when toxic communication is directed your way.

A central theme throughout is that Winsomer believes the healthiest and most effective responses are those that rise above — ones that deliberately avoid mirroring the same tactics or characteristics being used against you.

A restricted language framework of 2,150 words and phrases was applied throughout the manuscript’s narrative chapters — serving genuine voice, legal durability and platform compliance simultaneously.

This is not a prescriptive guide. It’s one man’s account of what he did and how he stayed focused on his daughter.

The 10 appendices translate that experience into tools others can actually use and include:

An A-to-Z behavioral reference list covering narcissistic traits and tactics
24 identified deflective and evasive communication patterns for high conflict co-parenting
AI-supported court documentation frameworks for building credible, durable records
A protected narrative approach for telling sensitive stories with legal and platform compliance

“Calling Out the Shadows” is available in:

After Filling Its First Home and Growing a Waitlist, Serenity Living Home Care Opens a Second Location in Palm Beach Gardens

Serenity Living Home Care opens its second residential location as families across Palm Beach County keep looking for something better than a nursing facility

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Serenity Living Home Care announced the opening of its second residential care home in Palm Beach Gardens, responding to a growing waitlist of Palm Beach County families searching for a more personal alternative to traditional nursing facilities.

Image caption: Serenity Living Home Care.

The first location reached full capacity and a waitlist formed quickly. The families calling had the same thing in common: they wanted something smaller, more personal, and more attentive than what most facilities offer. A home where staff know each resident by name, where meals are cooked fresh, and where care is not driven by a one-size-fits-all policy. Serenity Living built that with its first location. The second one exists because the demand never stopped.

“When your first home fills up with people you genuinely love caring for, you know you’re doing something right and you know more families out there still need this,” said Stephanie Heredia, Administrator of Serenity Living Home Care. “This second location is for every family that called us and had to wait. That wait is over.”

Both Palm Beach Gardens homes keep resident numbers intentionally small. Staff have time to sit with someone having a quiet morning and ask how they are doing. Care plans are written around each individual, not a facility-wide policy. Services include personal care assistance, medication management and daily activities shaped around what each resident actually enjoys.

For families currently in that exhausting search, the new location is now open and accepting inquiries. Tours are available and every question is welcome at the Palm Beach Gardens residential care page: https://www.serenitylivingalf.com/residential-care-palm-beach-gardens-fl/.

ABOUT SERENITY LIVING HOME CARE:

Natural Transplants and Cherry Announce Strategic Partnership and Release Exclusive 2026 Guide to Hair Transplant Cost in the U.S.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Natural Transplants, a leader in physician-led hair restoration, and Cherry, a leading patient financing platform, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at improving access to high-quality hair transplant procedures nationwide. Alongside the partnership, the companies released an exclusive 2026 guide to hair transplant cost in the U.S., offering new insight into the significant cost disparities patients face across major metropolitan markets.

Image caption: Methodology: Data reflects Q1 2026 requested financing amounts from specialty hair restoration practices partnered with Cherry Technologies, Inc. While a strong indicator of total procedure costs, figures exclude unfinanced, out-of-pocket payments.

Drawing from Q1 2026 financing request data submitted through Cherry’s network of specialty hair restoration practices, the report reveals substantial regional variation in hair transplant pricing throughout the United States. According to the data, Los Angeles ranks as the nation’s most expensive market, with average procedure costs reaching approximately $15,000. By comparison, patients in Miami–Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, and Boston reported average costs closer to $7,000. Other major metro areas fell across a wide spectrum, including Seattle at $12,250, Denver at $11,874, Chicago at $10,000, and Washington, D.C. at $8,400.

The findings underscore a growing challenge within the aesthetic medical industry: where a patient lives can significantly impact both affordability and access to care.

“Patients should never have to compromise on quality because of geography or financial limitations,” said Dr. Matt Huebner. “This partnership with Cherry allows us to remove many of the traditional barriers to treatment by combining flexible financing with travel support programs that make world-class hair restoration more accessible to patients nationwide.”

Through the partnership, Natural Transplants will continue offering travel incentives for patients visiting its flagship clinics in Fort Lauderdale and Washington, D.C., enabling individuals to prioritize surgical expertise and clinical outcomes over proximity alone. Combined with Cherry’s financing platform — which includes flexible monthly payment options, promotional 0% APR plans for qualified patients, and a soft credit check application process — patients can better manage both treatment and travel expenses.

In conjunction with this announcement, both companies have published in-depth articles to help patients better understand the financial considerations and variables involved in hair restoration:

Natural Transplants explores the full breakdown of regional pricing and what patients can expect for their investment in their comprehensive guide: How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost (In The United States)?
Cherry provides a closer look at the specific variables influencing these prices and how accessible financing for both clinics and patients can bridge the gap in their latest post: Hair Transplant Cost: Full 2026 U.S. Pricing Breakdown

Known for its physician-led approach and commitment to clinical excellence, the company serves patients nationwide through its clinics in Fort Lauderdale and Washington, D.C. https://naturaltransplants.com/

‘Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within’ Launches as New Military Sci-Fi Thriller Inspired by UFO Narratives, Space Command Myths, and Deep Space Conflict Themes

New novel by commercial pilot David Brandon explores classified space command, interstellar warfare, and long-circulated online theories including Solar Warden secret space program narratives

FORT MYERS, Fla., June 9, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within” (ISBN: 978-1834380247), released March 27, 2026, through Tellwell Publishing, is a new military science fiction novel by pilot and flight instructor David Brandon. The book launches into a cultural moment marked by renewed global interest in UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), government transparency discussions, and science fiction storytelling inspired by aerospace and extraterrestrial themes.

Image caption: “Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within” Launches as New Military Sci-Fi Thriller.

The novel follows U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot Dan Russell, who is recruited into a highly classified Space Command program and given just one week to decide whether to enter a secret three-year commitment involving advanced spacecraft operations. Upon entering training, Russell meets Katrina, a Russian fighter pilot, and the two form a relationship that becomes increasingly strained as they uncover the reality of their mission.

As the story unfolds, the pair discover that a covert military space division, referred to in the narrative as Solar Warden—is engaged in an escalating conflict involving an alien presence operating within Saturn’s rings, known as the Galactic Council. Faced with revelations that challenge their understanding of allegiance, command structure, and reality itself, they begin to question whether they are fighting on the correct side of an interstellar war.

Brandon’s novel is inspired by long-circulated online narratives surrounding secret space program theories, including the Solar Warden secret space program theories, reimagined through a military science fiction lens that blends psychological tension, romance, and speculative aerospace technology.

A commercial pilot and former flight school owner, Brandon draws from his aviation background and long-standing interest in both aerospace systems and science fiction storytelling to create a grounded yet expansive narrative.

The release comes amid continued public and cultural interest in unidentified aerial phenomena, reflected in ongoing UAP discussions, congressional hearings, and studies conducted by defense and space agencies. This growing fascination has also been strongly represented in contemporary film, television, and documentary filmmaking, where creators continue to explore first contact scenarios, classified aerospace programs, and unexplained aerial encounters as enduring subjects of public curiosity.

A Defining Moment in Humanity: A Statement from Rob Hoskins, President of OneHope, on Pope Leo XIV’s Encyclical ‘Magnifica Humanitas’

We are living through one of the most consequential inflection points in human history

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., June 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The release of Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical letter, “Magnifica Humanitas,” arrives at a defining moment not only for the global Church but for the whole of human civilization, says Dr. Rob Hoskins, President and Co-founder of OneHope. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes communication, learning, relationships, and the very formation of identity, Pope Leo XIV names what the most serious voices across theology, ethics, and technology are beginning to say in unison: the deepest crisis before us is not technological, but anthropological and spiritual.

Photo caption: Dr. Rob Hoskins, President and Co-founder of OneHope.

We are living through one of the most consequential inflection points in human history.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how children and youth learn, how people connect, how truth is formed, and how identity itself is understood. I was invited by Anthropic to participate in a meeting where AI researchers, ethicists, and technologists openly discussed the moral weight of what they are building. What struck me most was not the sophistication of the technology, but the realization that the deepest questions emerging from the AI age are not ultimately technical questions, but theological questions. They are questions of dignity, purpose, truth, formation, and the story we believe our lives are part of.

In a moment like this, the Church cannot stand on the sidelines. We need moral clarity, rooted in the unchanging truth that every person is created in the image of God and carries inherent dignity, worth, and purpose that no algorithm can quantify and no model can replace or improve.

I believe technology can be an extraordinary instrument for good. It can open doors, expand access to God’s Word, strengthen learning, and help us reach the next generation in ways we never imagined possible. But technology was never meant to replace humanity or redefine it. When innovation moves faster than wisdom, people begin serving the systems created to serve them. Technology may assist human flourishing, but it can never replace the God-given role of parents, pastors, mentors, and the local church in the spiritual formation of the next generation.

As the leader of OneHope, a global ministry committed to engaging every child and youth with God’s Word, I believe the Church must guide the next generation to not only develop digital discernment but deep theological wisdom, forming young people who understand truth, human dignity, embodiment, purpose, and community through the lens of Scripture. In the age of AI, this is a foundational part of discipleship.

I affirm the “Magnifica Humanitas” warning against any technology that seeks to transcend or redefine what it means to be human. Human beings are not problems to be optimized away. We are image bearers of God, created for relationship with Him and with one another through Jesus Christ. That truth must be the immovable foundation of every conversation about artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence will inevitably amplify the values of those who build it and those who deploy it. That means the future of AI cannot be shaped solely by technology companies and market forces. The Church has something vital to contribute. For two thousand years, Christians have wrestled with questions of virtue, formation, community, dignity, and human flourishing. Those questions are now at the center of the AI conversation. I have been encouraged to meet technology leaders who genuinely want to engage these questions and invite voices from faith communities into the discussion. I believe this is an important opportunity for the Church to serve, and I am committed to standing in that space, helping bridge the conversation between faith and innovation in ways that serve and protect the next generation.

The age of AI does not need more innovation, but it does need wisdom. And the people of God have been stewarding wisdom for generations.

To global Church leaders: The formation of the next generation is happening right now with or without your voice. The values being embedded in artificial intelligence systems today will shape how billions of children learn, think, and understand what it means to be human for decades to come. You carry the theological wisdom, global reach, and moral authority to speak into this moment. We must convene, collaborate, engage, and refuse to surrender one of the most important formation questions of our time to voices that do not begin with the Author of humanity.

To next-generation pastors and ministry leaders: Preach this from your pulpits. Teach this in your classrooms. Weave it into your discipleship. Your children, your students, your young people are already being formed by AI systems, and they need more than screen time guidance. They need a robust, Scripture-rooted understanding of their identity as image-bearers of God, their purpose as people called to love and serve, and their resilience as disciples who know what is true when the world’s voices multiply and conflict. Do not wait until you feel fully equipped. The formation happening in your absence will not wait for your readiness.

To parents: You remain the most powerful formative influence in your child’s life, more powerful than any platform, model, or algorithm. No technology company, however sophisticated, can replicate what God has entrusted you. Be present and ask the hard questions about what your children are encountering online, in AI tools, and in the digital spaces shaping their self-understanding. Create room in your family’s rhythms for the conversations only you can have about faith, identity, truth, and what it truly means to flourish as a human being made in the image of God. The greatest gift you can give your child in the age of AI is a parent who is fully, unhurriedly, irreplaceably there.

To the technology community: Many of you understand the imperative of ethically shaped AI models. Many of you carry a genuine desire to build well and serve humanity. Faith leaders want to collaborate with you. But we also call you to the highest standard, one grounded not in metrics or market share, but in the dignity of the human person. Protect children by designing for flourishing, not for dependency. Be transparent about the values you are embedding in the systems you build. And invite the Church, with its long, hard-won wisdom about virtue, formation, and the meaning of being human, into genuine dialogue. This is an invitation to build wisely and faithfully in one of the most consequential moments of our time.

The moment to activate the global Christian community is now. We must move beyond concern into bold, coordinated, Spirit-led action for the sake of the next generation.

Class Valuation and Makena partner to help appraisers prepare for UAD 3.6

Class Valuation appraisers can collect better data in less time with real-time ANSI-compliant floor plans, GLA calculations, and discrete, UAD 3.6-ready data capture built into every inspection

TROY, Mich. and NAPLES, Fla., June 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company, today announced a partnership with Makena, a next-generation property data platform designed to help enterprises collect accurate, structured and actionable property data at scale. Through the partnership, Class Valuation appraisers will gain access to InstaPlan®, Makena’s mobile data collection and floor plan application, as they prepare for the wide-scale UAD 3.6 mandate on November 2, 2026.

Image caption: Class Valuation and Makena partner to help appraisers prepare for UAD 3.6.

InstaPlan generates ANSI-compliant floor plans, including real-time GLA calculations, and captures discrete data points as appraisers move through a property. Unlike other mobile data collection apps, appraisers can stop and resume collection at any point and complete all required data fields before leaving the property, making it a practical tool for UAD 2.6 reports today and built for what UAD 3.6 will require. InstaPlan integrates directly with SFREP and supports MISMO-compliant exports for appraisers using other form providers.

“We’re recommending InstaPlan to our appraisers because we’ve seen what it can do, and we’re confident in the technology,” said Chris Flynn, chief operating officer of Class Valuation. “UAD 3.6 is bringing meaningful changes to how appraisers collect and report property data, and we want our appraisers to have the right tools in hand before the mandate. This partnership is a direct expression of our commitment to supporting the appraisers who rely on Class Valuation.”

Class Valuation appraisers using InstaPlan are already seeing meaningful time savings, with average inspection times dropping from 1.3 hours to less than 30 minutes for a standard 3,300 square foot property. Faster data collection reduces revision requests and accelerates report delivery.

“We built InstaPlan to take the complexity out of property data collection so appraisers can focus on their work, not the tools,” said Anthony Guarascio, co-founder and chief executive officer of Makena. “Partnering with Class Valuation is a natural fit because they understand what appraisers need and share our commitment to bringing practical innovation to the industry.”

“As UAD 3.6 preparations ramp up, appraisers need tools that make data collection faster, more consistent and easier to manage in the field,” said Steve Yatko, co-founder and chief technology officer of Makena. “InstaPlan was designed to support that shift with a simple mobile workflow that captures floor plans, photos and room-level data in one pass.”

InstaPlan is available now for iOS through the Apple App Store. Class appraisers can complete InstaPlan training at makenauniversity.com.

Dark Matter Technologies’ Wes Horbatuck named a 2026 HW Marketing Leader

Recognition highlights the go-to-market leadership behind three AI product launches and the company's third annual Horizon user conference

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced that Wes Horbatuck, senior vice president of marketing, has been named a 2026 HW Marketing Leader by HousingWire. The award recognizes marketing executives across the housing finance industry who have demonstrated measurable impact, strategic leadership and excellence in execution over the past 12 months.

Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies’ Wes Horbatuck.

Horbatuck, who was also recognized as a HousingWire Marketing Leader in 2024, has served as the architect of Dark Matter’s external positioning at a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution. Over the past year, he led go-to-market strategy for three major AI-driven product launches, directed the company’s third annual Horizon user conference and led go-to-market execution for 15 new partner integrations through the Exchange℠ Service Network, including messaging alignment, asset development and partner coordination.

Horizon 2026, held in April in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, served as the launchpad for Ask Aiva®, a conversational AI embedded in the loan origination workflow; a Developer Platform expansion introducing model context protocol (MCP) connectivity, which enables lenders and partners to build integrations on top of the Empower® loan origination system through a published API layer; and the expansion of ElevateSM, the company’s loan servicing and recapture solution. Horbatuck built the event narrative, led keynote and closing content, directed the stage experience and coordinated across product, engineering and executive leadership to position Dark Matter as an AI-first mortgage technology company with tangible solutions for the market.

Beyond the conference, Horbatuck built Dark Matter’s LinkedIn presence from the ground up, generating more than 67,000 impressions and over 3,700 new organic followers in under 90 days with no paid media spend. He also created and hosts the Spotlight podcast, extending Dark Matter’s voice directly to industry practitioners.

“People are kind enough to give me credit for being an ideas guy, but the truth is that ideas are the easy part. The hard part is turning them into reality,” said Horbatuck. “I have the privilege of working with people who execute at an incredibly high level and aren’t afraid to tell me when an idea needs work. Lyndsey Hearn, our director of growth marketing, Brenna Paquette, our creative director, and Tina Kisner, our events manager, are three of those people. I couldn’t do this without them.”

“HousingWire’s Marketing Leaders represent the professionals shaping how housing companies connect, compete and grow in a constantly evolving market,” said HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins. “We’re proud to recognize the marketers driving meaningful impact across housing.”

Black Friday Expands Beyond Retail into Media, AI Commerce, Advertising, and Entertainment Opportunities

MIAMI, Fla., June 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Black Friday, one of the most recognized names in global commerce, is continuing its evolution beyond traditional retail into a broader media, AI commerce, entertainment, advertising, and licensing opportunity, Empire License, Inc. announced today.

Image caption: Black Friday…The Way to Go!

As media companies, streaming platforms, advertisers, and technology firms increasingly seek stronger consumer engagement ecosystems, Black Friday is uniquely positioned at the intersection of:

Commerce
Entertainment
AI-powered shopping
Advertising
Holiday programming
Consumer engagement
Licensing

What was once viewed primarily as a shopping event has evolved into a global annual consumer attention platform generating billions in retail activity and worldwide cultural recognition.

The continued expansion of AI commerce and interactive shopping technologies is creating new opportunities for brands capable of connecting consumers directly to purchasing behavior. Black Friday Select, an AI-powered shopping assistant concept, was developed to help bridge that connection by enhancing product discovery, shopping recommendations, and customer engagement within existing retail ecosystems.

In addition, the Black Friday Loyalty Rewards Card concept is designed to help companies maintain year-round consumer interaction leading into the holiday shopping season, while creating additional engagement opportunities for retailers, financial institutions, and advertising partners.

The Black Friday ecosystem also includes opportunities involving:

Animated holiday programming
Streaming content
Sponsorships
Branded entertainment
Plush toys and collectibles
Licensing partnerships
Interactive holiday campaigns
Media integrations

Industry observers continue to note the growing convergence between media, AI, advertising, and commerce, as companies seek scalable consumer platforms capable of generating recurring annual engagement and monetization opportunities.

“Black Friday has become much larger than a single shopping day,” said Emory Williams President and CEO of Empire License, Inc. “It now represents a globally recognized consumer engagement platform that naturally connects retail, AI commerce, entertainment, advertising, and media opportunities together.”

With Black Friday continuing to expand internationally and digitally, the brand’s long-term strategic potential across multiple industries is becoming increasingly apparent.

Very few consumer identities possess:

Worldwide recognition
Annual recurring relevance
Built-in consumer urgency
Commerce compatibility
Entertainment potential
Licensing scalability

Black Friday continues to demonstrate strength in all six areas.

As the worlds of media, commerce, artificial intelligence, and advertising continue to converge, Black Friday stands uniquely positioned as a consumer-facing platform capable of generating recurring engagement opportunities across multiple industries for years to come.

The Jackson Copeland Foundation Awarded $10,000 Grant from Duke Energy Foundation as Part of Commitment to Support Communities Across Florida

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Duke Energy Foundation announced it has awarded a $10,000 grant to The Jackson Copeland Foundation to help ensure families can afford essential living expenses following a blood cancer diagnosis. The grant is part of a larger commitment from Duke Energy Florida and its Foundation to support the vitality of the communities the company serves.

Image caption: The Jackson Copeland Foundation Awarded $10,000 Grant from Duke Energy Foundation.

“No one facing a blood cancer diagnosis should have to endure additional stress from the costs or logistics associated with treatment,” said Duke Energy Florida state president Melissa Seixas. “The Jackson Copeland Foundation is doing so much to help alleviate that burden for so many families here in our area. It’s an honor to support their important work.”

“A leukemia diagnosis shouldn’t mean a family loses their home while fighting for their life,” said Jeff Copeland, Founder & CEO of The Jackson Copeland Foundation. “This generous grant from the Duke Energy Foundation allows us to tackle the affordability crisis of blood cancer head-on, ensuring patients can secure temporary lodging and travel to life-saving treatments without facing financial ruin. They should be focused on the fight of their lives, not finances or foreclosure. This partnership ensures nobody fights this battle alone—Jackson would go, and so are we.”

There are only three National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in Florida, so hundreds of Florida blood cancer patients must travel to receive treatment each year. Patients receiving a life-saving bone marrow or stem cell transplant, in particular, must secure short-term lodging for up to 100 days during treatment and recovery, which creates a massive affordability crisis for most families.

The $10,000 grant will be used to fund “bridge grants” to low- and moderate-income families within Duke Energy’s Florida service footprint who are battling blood cancer. This grant directly addresses those staggering logistical and financial challenges. By covering critical non-medical living expenses—such as primary housing maintenance (rent/mortgage), temporary medical lodging, and transportation costs—the funds ensure the affordability of basic needs during the most disruptive months of a patient’s treatment. This rapid-response financial relief helps families avoid eviction, foreclosure, and bankruptcy, preserving their economic mobility so they can focus entirely on healing.

Four-Time Surfside Mayor Charles W. Burkett Announces Candidacy for Governor of Florida as a ‘No Party Affiliation’ Candidate

SURFSIDE, Fla., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Charles W. Burkett, four-term Mayor of Surfside and lifelong Floridian, today announced his candidacy for Governor of Florida in the 2026 election as a No Party Affiliation candidate.

Image caption: Charles W. Burkett.

“I’m not a politician, and I don’t really like being called one,” said Burkett. “What I am, is a concerned homeowner, a hardworking parent, a successful problem-solver, and an investor who refuses to go along just to get along. Florida voters deserve someone they can trust — someone who will tell them the truth and be their insider in Tallahassee, not a political double-talker who says one thing and does the exact opposite.”

Born and raised in Miami Beach, Burkett graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in finance and founded a national real estate investment firm. He has dedicated more than four decades to public service, including civic leadership in Miami Beach and four terms as Mayor of Surfside (2006–2008, 2008-2010, 2020–2022, and 2024–2026). During recent terms, he guided the beachside community through the COVID-19 pandemic and the Champlain Towers South condominium collapse, the third deadliest in U.S. history.

Burkett’s campaign will focus on practical, common-sense solutions that put current Florida residents first, like:

KEEPING FLORIDA AFFORDABLE:

Eliminate property taxes on homesteaded primary residences.
Completely rewrite broken property and auto insurance laws.
Dismiss non-criminal traffic tickets for drivers with clean 10-year records.
Eliminate unfair paid highway express lanes.
Eliminate unfair tolls on public roads.
Eliminate Florida’s unfair gas tax.
Eliminate permit fees to repair and improve your home.
Force local government to provide water and sewer at cost.
Slash bloated government, wherever it is, that we don’t need – or want.
Rewrite the unaffordable, broken healthcare laws. Put doctors, not government and insurance companies, in charge. Make ‘Right to Try’ laws absolute. Affirm and codify “My Body, My Choice.” Free Florida medical research from bureaucratic and litigious strangulation.

STOP DANGEROUS OVER-DEVELOPMENT THAT IS DESTROYING OUR WAY OF LIFE:

Repeal the Live Local Act sham, and all others like it, put in place mostly to line the pockets of developers – who then gladly line the pockets of politicians.
Stop the “Manhattanization” and continued “over-densification” of Florida’s charming and historic communities.
Crush traffic and population gridlock by favoring smart renovation over unchecked new construction, and by favoring current residents over those who wish to move to Florida.

RESTORE TRUST AND ‘FEDEX/UPS-STYLE’ EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNMENT:

Eliminate excessive pay and pension schemes that reward career politicians and others which will eventually bankrupt our state.
Any government position paying more than $250,000 must not exceed a two-year term and be reviewed and advertised for replacement, with interviews of all new applicants, every two years.
Prohibit politicians and bureaucrats from wasteful travel. Require all “meetings,” “retreats,” non-physical “training,” and “education,” be conducted by Zoom only.

PROMOTE COMMON-SENSE IDEAS, GROWTH AND RESTORATION:

Demand clean water and air.
Real education for our kids, not factory-style, educational warehousing. Retain only great teachers — good enough is not good enough for our kids.
Transform Florida’s slums, ghettos, and war zone neighborhoods by enacting my proposed “Oasis Act”.
Employ economic development and tourism programs that benefit Floridians most — not developers, special interests, new Florida arrivals, or tourists.

See our campaign website for many more changes a Burkett governorship will bring to Florida.

“Florida has been good to me and my family my entire life,” Burkett added. “I enter this race as a proud, multi-generational American and lifelong Floridian. I want to bring the same passion and love I’ve dedicated to my beautiful Surfside hamlet on the beach – to every corner of the state — all while being unafraid to introduce real, innovative and sometimes radical solutions that will keep Florida a beacon of progress, opportunity, quality of life and success.”

MORE ABOUT CHARLES W. BURKETT

Charles Burkett is a lifelong Floridian, successful businessman, and four-term Mayor of Surfside, Florida. After college, Charles used savings from work as a construction laborer to buy his first property in 1983. He renovated it with help from friends he hired, leased it and went on to repeat that process over and over, which ultimately resulted in his ownership of properties in eight states, including Florida.

While busy in business, he also took time to give back as a political activist. Charles moved to Surfside in 1996 and has earned a reputation for not being afraid to shake things up or take on the hard issues. Honesty, straight talk, and putting residents first are his primary objectives. The bottom line is that Charles Burkett has the right experience; personally, in business, and in politics, to serve the people of Florida and make their lives better.

Amba to Highlight Real-World Results in Webinar on Proactive, AI-Enabled Care

New case study shows sharp reductions in falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks at Tiffany Village and Kenny's Pond

NAPLES, Fla., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Amba, a leader in passive AI-powered care technology, will host a live webinar titled “From Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage ” on May 20, 2026, focused on how senior living operators can move beyond reactive care and how working with better visibility and earlier insight improves operational efficiency.

Image caption: Tiffany Village will discuss how its care teams use Amba’s AI-powered passive care technology to reduce falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks across its senior living communities in the webinar “Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage” on May 20, 2026.

The session, presented in partnership with Senior Housing News, will feature Kristen Parsons, President of Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, alongside Amba Founder and CEO Stuart Hamilton. The two will walk through what changed over two years of using Amba, what that shift meant for care delivery, and how teams actually work day-to-day.

Amba uses passive, privacy-first sensors to track patterns in sleep, movement, and behavior, without cameras or audio. Over time, the platform builds a baseline for each resident and flags meaningful changes, helping teams decide when to step in and where to focus their attention.

The system is designed to work within existing environments, allowing communities to adopt it without overhauling infrastructure or workflows.

The webinar follows the release of a new case study based on results from the St. John’s, Newfoundland communities, where Amba has been used to provide care teams with clearer visibility into resident needs, enabling them to step in earlier before an infection or issue arises.

At Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, care teams have seen fewer disruptions and more consistent care. Occupancy increased, and labor costs came down, while care teams reported feeling more confident in how they prioritize their day, in data analyzed from 2023 to 2025:

Result highlights at Tiffany Village and Kenney’s Pond include:

89% reduction in falls
78% reduction in medication issues
97% reduction in hospitalizations

“Amba is very easy to fall in love with,” said Parsons. “Once your team sees the benefit and starts using it every day, it becomes part of how you deliver care.”

These outcomes were achieved without adding staff, challenging the assumption that better outcomes require more staffing.

“Most communities aren’t short on effort; they’re short on visibility,” said Amba’s Hamilton. “When teams can see what’s changing in real time, they don’t have to wait for something to go wrong. They can step in earlier, with more confidence, and focus their time where it actually matters.”

During the webinar, attendees will hear directly from Parsons about what it took to implement the system, where things started to change, and how their approach to care has evolved over time.

Topics include:

How to increase caregiver capacity without adding payroll
Why many systems keep communities stuck in reactive workflows
What proactive care actually looks like in practice
What two years of real data reveal about operations

Webinar Details: The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern. To register or download the case study, visit: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5323094/16843E5E12924BD0B946E1C5C11C26D9?partnerref=amba
