TAMPA, Fla., Jul 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.

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).

TROY, Mich., Jul 09, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company (AMC), has been verified by Fannie Mae® and Freddie Mac (the government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs) to support the Uniform Property Data Report (UPDR) specification under Uniform Property Dataset (UPD) Version 1.0. Use of the UPDR is mandatory for mortgages with applications received on or after June 30, 2026.

The UPDR is a standardized report template introduced jointly by the GSEs as part of the Uniform Mortgage Data Program (UMDP) to bring greater efficiency and consistency to the underwriting and review process. The GSEs developed the report in direct response to industry feedback about the challenges of working with varying property data output formats. The standardized format is designed to streamline review processes, simplify training across the industry and enable automated data validation while delivering a cleaner, more consistent data delivery mechanism for underwriters and operations teams.

Class Valuation has provided property data collection services to clients delivering loans to the GSEs for more than 16 years. This verification reflects the company's ongoing commitment to meeting evolving GSE requirements and positions its clients for a smooth transition to the new standardized report format.

"This verification reflects our team's ongoing commitment to staying ahead of industry modernization rather than catching up to it," said Chris Flynn, chief operating officer of Class Valuation. "As property data collection continues to evolve and UAD 3.6 approaches, the industry can count on Class Valuation to be ready with solutions that meet Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's new data standards and help clients move forward with confidence."

Class Valuation is a leading nationwide appraisal management company (AMC) renowned for its commitment to fast turn times, exceptional quality and unparalleled client service.

HONG KONG, Jul 09, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LitMedia has launched Seedance 2.5 on its AI content platform. This update allows creators to generate 30-second 4K AI videos, use multimodal reference inputs, and edit videos precisely within one workflow. The integration brings ByteDance's latest AI video model to LitMedia, addressing the growing demand for longer, production-ready AI videos across marketing, entertainment, education, and digital media.

Seedance 2.5, introduced by ByteDance on June 23, 2026, enhances AI video generation with longer native videos, higher resolution, and flexible editing. As AI video adoption continues to grow, creators increasingly demand longer videos, consistent quality, and more efficient production workflows, moving beyond short clips toward polished, production-ready content.

"AI video creation is evolving. Creators now expect more than great visuals. They want longer videos, better resolution, and efficient workflows," said a spokesperson for LitMedia. "By bringing Seedance 2.5 to LitMedia, we're giving creators access to advanced AI video capabilities within a unified platform, helping them turn ideas into finished content more efficiently."

Native 30-Second AI Videos in Up to 4K Resolution

Seedance 2.5 can generate native 30-second AI videos in a single generation while supporting up to 4K visual quality. Instead of stitching together multiple short clips, creators can produce longer, more coherent videos with consistent characters, lighting, movement, and environments.

This extended generation capability makes AI video better suited for advertising, brand storytelling, product demonstrations, educational content, and cinematic productions.

Expanded Multimodal Reference Support

Seedance 2.5 supports up to 50 multimodal reference inputs, allowing creators to combine images, videos, and audio to guide generation. This expanded capacity provides greater control over character identity, visual style, scene composition, and narrative consistency.

Precise Video Editing Without Starting Over

The model introduces region-based video editing, allowing creators to modify specific areas of an existing video instead of regenerating the entire sequence. This targeted editing workflow reduces iteration time while preserving successful scenes.

Multilingual Creation for Global Content Production

Seedance 2.5 supports multilingual prompts across major languages, including Chinese, English, Malay, Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, among others, making AI video creation more accessible for global creators and cross-border content production.

Bringing the Latest AI Video Technology to LitMedia

The integration of Seedance 2.5 further expands LitMedia's multimodal AI ecosystem, which combines AI image generation, AI video creation, AI audio, AI lip sync, AI music generation, and Infinite Canvas within a unified creative workspace.

By bringing these tools together on one platform, LitMedia streamlines end-to-end multimedia production while giving creators access to longer-form, high-resolution AI video generation. As AI video technology continues to evolve, features such as native 30-second video generation, 4K output, extensive multimodal references, and targeted editing are helping move AI video from experimental use toward professional production.

Seedance 2.5 is available on LitMedia beginning July 10, 2026.

PLANO, Texas, Jul 09, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Optimal Blue today released its June 2026 Market Advantage mortgage data report, which found that mortgage activity strengthened month over month (MoM), with purchase lock volume climbing to its highest level since early spring and pull-through rates rebounding across both purchase and refinance pipelines. Total rate-lock volume rose 10% MoM and 15% year over year (YoY). June also extended recent shifts in product mix, with non-conforming lending reaching its highest share in several years as conforming volume remained below 49% for the second consecutive month.

Mortgage rates were mixed in June. The Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices (OBMMI) 30-year conforming fixed rate, the benchmark for CME Group's Mortgage Rate futures, edged up 1 basis point (bp) MoM to 6.45%, remaining 22 bps lower than June 2025. The 10-year Treasury yield closed the month at 4.44%, down 1 bp MoM, while the spread between the 10-year Treasury and the OBMMI 30-year conforming rate widened to 201 bps.

"June wasn't defined by a single headline number. Purchase demand strengthened, refinance activity held up and pull-through improved after softening in May," said Mike Vough, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Optimal Blue. "Together, those trends point to a market that is battle tested and that has adapted to a higher-for-longer rate environment."

On the secondary side, lenders continued to balance execution options as agency mortgage-backed security (MBS) executions declined for the second consecutive month to 40% of funded loan sales, while best-efforts activity increased to 3%. Execution spreads also moved in different directions, with conventional 30-year best-efforts-to-mandatory spreads tightening to 31 bps and government 30-year spreads widening to 18 bps. Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) for conforming 30-year loans declined to 1.33% in June.

"We saw lenders continue to fine-tune execution strategy in June," Vough said. "Agency MBS executions declined again while best-efforts activity increased showing that lenders are evaluating all potential loan sale options, and best efforts-mandatory pricing spreads moved in opposite directions for conventional and government loans. It shows lenders must continue to evaluate execution opportunities on a product-by-product basis."

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE MARKET ADVANTAGE REPORT, DERIVED FROM DIRECT-SOURCE MORTGAGE LOCK AND SECONDARY MARKET DATA, INCLUDE:

Volume trends and market composition

* Refis hold steady: Refinance share remained essentially unchanged at 19% of total lock volume in June, materially higher than levels seen throughout much of 2025. Cash-out refinance volume grew 11% MoM and 10% YoY. Rate-and-term refinance volume increased 6% MoM and 32% YoY.

* Purchase momentum builds: Purchase lock volume increased 10% MoM and 14% YoY, reaching its highest level since early spring. Purchase loans accounted for more than 81% of total lock volume in June.

* Conforming stays below 49%: Conforming share declined to 49% of total production in June, extending the decline that first pushed it below 50% in April. Non-conforming lending expanded to more than 19% of volume, its highest share in several years. FHA represented nearly 19% of production, while VA loans accounted for almost 13%.

* Non-QM remains elevated: Non-qualified mortgage loans accounted for 9% of total lock volume in June, 1.4 percentage points higher than a year ago.

* New construction strengthens: Planned unit developments (PUDs), a proxy for new construction activity, increased to 28% of total volume. Single-family detached homes remained the dominant property type at 64% of production. Condo share held at 6%.

Rates and pricing

* Mortgage spread tops 200 bps: The OBMMI 30-year conforming fixed rate increased 1 bp MoM to 6.45%, down 22 bps YoY. The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.44%, down 1 bp MoM. The spread between the 10-year Treasury and the OBMMI 30-year conforming rate widened to 201 bps, remaining above long-term averages despite narrowing from year-ago levels.

* MSRs edge lower: MSRs for conforming 30-year loans declined 3 bps to 1.33%, representing a 5.32 multiple.

* Conventional and government spreads split: Best-efforts-to-mandatory spreads for conventional 30-year products tightened 9 bps to 31 bps. Government 30-year spreads widened 6 bps to 18 bps.

* Top-tier executions increase: The share of loans sold at the highest price tier increased 78 bps to 78%. Loans sold at the second- and third-ranked price tiers each declined 93 bps and 25 bps to 12% and 3%, respectively. Fourth-tier-or-lower executions increased 40 bps to 7%.

Channel and execution

* Agency MBS executions decline for second consecutive month: Hedged loan sales to agency MBS declined 1 percentage point to 40% of funded loan sales.

* Best-efforts activity picks up: Cash and bulk aggregator executions held flat while best-efforts executions increased from 2% to 3% of funded loan sales.

* Investor count plateaus: Investor participation held at 14 for the second consecutive month after reaching 15 in April.

Product mix and borrower profiles

* First-time buyers regain ground: First-time homebuyers accounted for 45% of conforming purchase locks in June, nearly 3 percentage points above year-ago levels. FHA first-time homebuyer share remained elevated at 69%.

* DTI ratios remain below year-ago levels: Purchase debt-to-income ratios held below 2025 levels across all major products: conforming borrowers at 36.6%, FHA at 43.5% and VA at 43.0%, suggesting affordability has modestly improved relative to last year despite higher home prices.

* Borrower credit quality holds steady: The average credit score held at 731, ranging from 757 in the San Francisco Bay Area to 716 in San Antonio. Conforming borrowers averaged a score of 753.

* Pull-through stays strong: Purchase pull-through increased to 81.4% in June, recovering from May's decline. Refinance pull-through also climbed to 71.1%.

* Loan amounts near $400K again: The average locked loan amount increased to just over $399,000 in June, near record highs as home prices continue to appreciate and purchase activity remains concentrated in higher-cost markets. Average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios nationwide were 81.4%, ranging from 71.0% in the greater Los Angeles area to 88.8% in San Antonio.

NAPA, Calif., Jul 07, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Domaine Carneros has long delighted guests with inventive food and wine experiences that reflect the winery's commitment to culinary craft and local ingredient sourcing. The newest addition to that tradition is the Sparkling Elixir Sampler, a daily tasting flight that pairs four all-natural, handcrafted botanical elixirs from Land & Local of Sonoma County for either a non-alcoholic option with San Pellegrino sparkling water, or with the acclaimed Ultra Brut sparkling wine. This new offering makes for a fully inclusive experience for every guest at the table.

Served tableside, the flight is priced at $35 with San Pellegrino or $50 with the Ultra Brut. The four elixirs, each crafted from locally sourced seasonal botanicals, are:

Blood Orange Fennel

Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon

Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger

Elderflower Mint

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler is available as a standalone daily tasting option and can also be selected as a non-alcoholic alternative within any of the winery's elevated experiences: Bubbles & Bites, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar.

A DEEPENING TRADITION OF ARTISAN COLLABORATION

The partnership with Land & Local joins a roster of celebrated local makers whose work has shaped the Domaine Carneros guest experiences over the years, among them Pete Seghesio of Journeyman Meats, Terri and Brook Penquette of Nova Terra Creamery, Anette Madsen Yazidi of Anette's Chocolates, and Ali and Marai Bolourchi of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar.

Land & Local founder Kim LaVere brings eight years of botanical craft to the collaboration, grounding her formulas in Ayurvedic medicine, Western herbalism, and culinary training. About 85% of the herbs and fruits she uses are sourced within 50 miles of her Sonoma County production kitchen. Her mission is to reconnect beverages to their healing roots while centering the story of place. "Our partnership is about two high-quality products that complement each other and help tell a story of place together, from different perspectives," she says. "And our products are inclusive: they work beautifully for people who are imbibing and for people who aren't."

WELCOMING EVERY GUEST AT THE TABLE

The non-alcoholic option reflects both the winery's hospitality values and a meaningful consumer shift. According to a Wine Business Monthly article in July 2024, wellness tourism which includes "dry" tourism as well as alcohol drinkers who opt out occasionally, has seen a measurable increase, with nonalcoholic offerings expanding a brand's reach and ensuring no one sits on the sidelines.

The Ultra Brut, a highly awarded offering in the Domaine Carneros portfolio, was chosen with thoughtful consideration as the sparkling wine part of the experience. Director of Marketing, Phoebe Ullberg stated, "Our driest sparkling wine, Ultra Brut, becomes even more nuanced and complex when accented with chef Kim LaVere's local, all natural mixers - Blood Orange Fennel, Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon, Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger and Elderflower Mint."

AN EVER-EVOLVING GUEST EXPERIENCE

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler takes its place alongside a portfolio of distinctive offerings that reflect the winery's sustained investment in the gustatory pleasures of its guests. Bubbles & Bites' seasonally rotating global menus, the recently launched Scent & Savor: A Wine Tour of Aromas and Taste Transformations, The Art of Sabrage, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar together define a visitor experience as thoughtfully curated as the wines themselves.

LA VERNE, Calif., Jul 07, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 3rd3rd Marketing, the "Un-Senior Living Agency" that challenges ageism in marketing, and Hillcrest Senior Living, announced the launch of "A Good Life Anywhere," a new eBook designed to empower older adults and their families to make informed decisions about care, community, and quality of life.

Coauthored by Beverly Gianna, a long-term care ombudsman in Louisiana and a graduate of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, and Cynthia Thurlow, founder and CEO of 3rd3rd Marketing and a recognized expert on ageism in branding and communications, the eBook sets itself apart with the unique perspectives of its authors and provides an insider's perspective on the senior living journey.

Both women are experienced professionals and members of the generation they serve, bringing together professional expertise and personal understanding of the opportunities and challenges that accompany aging.

The guide explores the full spectrum of senior living and care options while helping readers evaluate communities, advocate for quality care, explore alternatives, and access resources that support independence and well-being.

Hillcrest is home to nearly 400 residents, many of whom are solo agers and living independently, across its 50-acre continuing care retirement campus in southern California.

"We often talk to prospective residents about when is the right time to move and how to do it," said Shirley Turner, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hillcrest. "A Good Life Anywhere is an excellent guidebook for the next step in the journey, as it outlines how to choose the right community, explore alternatives, advocate for quality care, and understand the role of the local ombudsman."

"Living in a senior community or nursing home should never mean losing one's sense of purpose," said Gianna. "My work as an ombudsman, combined with my education and lived experience, has shown me how important it is for older adults to feel seen, heard, respected, and engaged in life. We hope readers will find both practical guidance and encouragement in A Good Life Anywhere."

Beyond her formal role, Gianna is a passionate educator and local champion for older adults. She regularly speaks with families and community members, as well as with law and medical schools, about care options and future planning. One of her passions is helping future professionals understand the many ways aging intersects with their work.

Thurlow brings more than 30 years of experience in branding, advertising, and strategic leadership. As founder and CEO of 3rd3rd Marketing, known as the "Un-Senior Living Agency," she helps organizations recognize and overcome age-based assumptions that often shape branding, hiring, customer engagement, and communications.

"People want to be understood by their values, aspirations, and experiences, not reduced to a number," said Thurlow. "Our goal with this eBook is to provide practical information that empowers older adults and their families to make decisions with confidence and clarity."

"A Good Life Anywhere" is available at https://www.livingathillcrest.org/ebooks/.

BETHESDA, Md., Jul 07, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) today announced the recipients of its inaugural Institutional Policy Awards, recognizing twelve institutions that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the postdoctoral experience, along with its 2026 Institutional Policy Report, tracking national trends affecting the postdoc community.

The 2026-2027 NPA Institutional Policy Award recipients are:

* Boston Children's Hospital
* Cleveland Clinic Research
* Gladstone Institutes
* Los Alamos National Laboratory
* Massachusetts Institute of Technology
* NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
* NYU Grossman School of Medicine
* Temple University
* University of Alabama at Birmingham
* University of Texas Medical Branch
* Van Andel Institute
* Virginia Commonwealth University

"Today, for the first time, we make a record of who stands out in their alignment with accepted recommendations for postdoctoral excellence - ultimately not to separate them from other outstanding institutions, but to bind our whole community through shared knowledge," said Thomas P. Kimbis, executive director and chief executive officer of the NPA.

The inaugural awardees represent approximately five percent of NPA member institutions and were selected for their outstanding overall alignment with the revised Recommended Postdoctoral Policies and Practices (RPPP). Their recognition reflects sustained institutional commitment across the broad range of policies that shape the postdoctoral experience - from appointment and compensation practices to mentoring, professional development, career preparation, and institutional support.

"At its core, these awards reflect a simple idea: if we want to improve the postdoctoral experience nationally, we need to recognize and learn from institutions that are helping lead the way," said Andrea Pereyra, M.D., Ph.D., chair, NPA board of directors. "By doing so, we not only celebrate their commitment, but also help elevate practices that can inform and inspire progress across the broader postdoctoral community."

The awards represent the culmination of four years of work by NPA staff and volunteers to develop the first known national initiative at this scale, recognizing institutional excellence in the postdoctoral community. The inaugural dozen awardees comprise a remarkably diverse group: large and small; universities, national laboratories, and institutes; ranging from east and west, north and south.

The institutions honored today for their work have significant alignment with NPA policy recommendations when viewed across the full set within the RPPP, although none have completed their work. "We're not here to celebrate the perfect," said Kimbis. "No organization is perfect. But we do see some making important, translatable progress in critical areas - and that's worth celebrating."

Complementing the awards, the 2026 NPA Institutional Policy Report analyzes institutional policy data available nowhere else from more than 100 organizations nationwide and provides trends, findings and recommendations. This broad view shows important gains, but also reveals a postdoctoral community at a critical juncture, facing intensifying economic pressures, persistent inequities in benefit distribution, and a structural gap in career outcome tracking that threatens the U.S. research pipeline.

Together, the RPPP, Institutional Policy Report, and Institutional Policy Awards create an integrated framework of recommendations, benchmarking, and recognition designed to help institutions understand emerging needs, measure progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and share successful approaches across the postdoctoral community.

"We celebrate leading institutions today in the context of national trends we have been tracking for more than a decade. Where we see excellence and accomplishment, we also recognize the hard work ahead to elevate the postdoctoral experience where it belongs," said Kimbis.

In the coming months, the NPA will recognize additional institutions demonstrating exceptional achievement in specific areas of postdoctoral policy and practice. The association will also develop practical resources - including best practices, implementation guides, and lessons learned - to help institutions support postdoctoral scholars nationwide.

"Improving the postdoctoral experience is a community effort," said Erin Heckler, Ph.D., vice chair, NPA board of directors. "The NPA, recognizing the work of these institutions as examples of policies and practices, shares what progress is possible for everyone."

About the National Postdoctoral Association:

The NPA is a national charitable and educational nonprofit association headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, that seeks to improve the postdoctoral experience by supporting a culture of inclusive connection.

DENVER, Colo., Jul 06, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The self-service kiosk industry continues to expand at a fast pace, driven by evolving automation technology and growing customer acceptance of self-service in nearly all venues. Companies and organizations seeking to understand this technology-intensive sector now have a comprehensive and easy-to-understand resource, the Tiger 2026 Market Report, courtesy of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association.

The 35-page report sizes the global self-service kiosk market at about $39.4 billion in 2024, rising to roughly $82.1 billion by 2031, marking an 11.1 percent combined annual growth rate. The numbers are based on previous KMA reports, seven different industry reports, economic data, regulatory filings, reports from publicly traded companies and additional input from companies.

The report is designed to benefit kiosk industry companies in their business planning and those interested in investing in this fast growing trade.

"The weighted whole-market growth rate comes out to 11.1 percent CAGR, but that 'average' hides enormous spread between segments," said Craig Keefner, editor in chief of the report.

The report breaks the self-service kiosk industry into 14 segments which are modeled individually:
* EV charging
* Smart vending/micro markets
* Smart lockers
* Healthcare
* Unattended POS
* Self ordering for QSRs and fast casual restaurants
* Digital signage
* Check-in (hotel, airline, events)
* Self checkout
* Ticketing
* Financial services/ATMs
* Bill payment
* Crypto ATMs
* Others

The report also covers six adjacent verticals - parking, gaming, betting, DMV, self-storage and self-service carwashes - contributing more than $7 billion on top of core kiosk spend.

The segment-built model for the report prevents double counting of segments in the final total.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Segment highlights include:
* EV charging kiosks come in at 31.5 percent CAGR, taking the category from about $0.85 billion to $5.8 billion by 2031.
* Smart vending and micro-markets grow at 16.5 percent CAGR, moving roughly from $1.5 billion to $4.5 billion.
* Unattended POS and smart lockers grow in the mid-teens, while self-checkout grows around 9 percent but remains the single largest line item at about $15.4 billion.
* At the other end of the growth curve, crypto ATMs are expanding at 4.2 percent, still cash-flow positive, but no longer a significant growth story.

THREE CONVERGING FORCES CONTINUE TO ANCHOR THE SELF-SERVICE KIOSK INDUSTRY:
* Faster EV-charging kiosk roll-out under the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) government initiative and the European Union Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) ruling.
* The operational pull of the European Accessibility Act (in force since June 28, 2025).
* The large language model (LLM) voice transition in quick-serve restaurant (QSR) drive-thru.
* Each of these forces is now expressed in segment-specific growth rates rather than averaged into a single whole-market number.

GROWTH SCENARIOS

The report also offers Bull/Base/Bear growth scenarios through 2031 for each of the 14 segments, with identified drivers such as EV charging build-out, accessibility mandates, services penetration and AI reliability.

One of the most unique benefits the report offers is a quantified understanding of the role service plays in kiosk revenue as opposed to hardware revenue. While hardware accounts for the lion's share of industry revenue, service is growing faster than hardware, commanding $12.4 billion in 2026. In addition to boosting revenue, service supports kiosk uptime, reliability and AI readiness.

RETROFIT VERSUS RIP-AND-REPLACE

One of the most practical outputs of the Tiger Report is a normalized five-year total cost of ownership (TCO) model that compares retrofit against rip-and-replace.

Retrofit cost comes in around $7,700 per kiosk over five years, versus roughly $18,000 for rip-and-replace, a 57 percent lower TCO. On a 1,000-unit fleet, that gap implies about $10.3 million of preserved capital by upgrading instead of starting over.

GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The report also includes geographic analysis of industry revenue. The United States commands about 37 percent of the global market at roughly $14.5 billion, followed by China at 17 percent ($6.8 billion), rest of Asia and Pacific at 14 percent ($5.5 billion), and core Europe (UK/Germany/France) at 13 percent ($5.1 billion). The rest of Asia Pacific is compounding fastest from a smaller base, while European growth is accelerated by the EU Accessibility Act moving from regulation to procurement driver.

The report comes in PDF form with 22 chapters and three appendices covering segment sizing, methodology, services, accessibility and adjacent verticals.

PURCHASE OPTIONS

The report is available in three versions:
* The Basic Report (35 pages): $495.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)
* The Analyst Bundle buyers report includes an Excel market data pack, an analyst workbook, future updates through December 2026, and a voice AI in self-service brief. Price: $995.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)

HONG KONG, Jul 06, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- iToolab WatsGo has introduced a new feature that enables users to restore WhatsApp from iCloud without resetting their iPhone. The update helps users download and check chats, photos, videos, and other WhatsApp data. In addition, users don't have to deal with complicated recovery procedures. This update makes WhatsApp data restoration from iCloud simpler and gives users an easier way to recover the information that matters most.

WHY ITOOLAB WATSGO STANDS OUT?

iToolab WatsGo is a WhatsApp management solution that supports WhatsApp transfer, backup, restore, and export across Android and iPhone. It also helps users restore WhatsApp from iCloud without uninstalling the app.

KEY FEATURES OF ITOOLAB WATSGO - RESTORE WHATSAPP FROM ICLOUD

Here are some of the WatsGo features that make it simple to restore WhatsApp from iCloud without uninstalling the app or dealing with unnecessary complications.

1 -- RESTORE WHATSAPP FROM ICLOUD WITHOUT UNINSTALLING

Restoring WhatsApp backup from iCloud on iPhone usually requires users to uninstall and reinstall the app before the process. WatsGo removes this hassle by allowing you to restore your WhatsApp backup directly from iCloud. This delivers a faster, more seamless restoration experience with minimal effort.

2 -- PREVIEW WHATSAPP ICLOUD BACKUPS BEFORE RESTORING

WatsGo lets users preview available WhatsApp backups before restoring them, unlike the official method, which restores the entire backup without preview. Users can then select supported chats and media to export to their computers.

3 -- ENSURES SECURE, RELIABLE DATA RESTORE

Since iCloud backups are encrypted, WatsGo never downloads or stores users' data, helping protect user privacy throughout the entire restore process. The tool maintains data transmission integrity throughout the restore process, so no files are corrupted or lost. It also supports a wide diversity of WhatsApp data types, which gives users a complete restore process.

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO RESTORE WHATSAPP FROM ICLOUD USING WATSGO

To explore how to restore deleted messages in WhatsApp, follow these simple steps:

1. Install and Launch: Download iToolab WatsGo and choose the "Restore WhatsApp from iCloud" option.

LONG BEACH, Calif., Jul 02, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- New Cadence Healthcare, a membership-based primary care practice in Long Beach, today announced that Dr. Karen Rasmussen will join the practice as its third physician beginning August 2026. Dr. Rasmussen is a board-certified family physician who has cared for patients in Southern California for more than a decade.

Since 2011, she has practiced comprehensive outpatient family medicine at Optum's Orange County location in Los Alamitos. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California, Irvine, where she was part of the Campuswide Honors Program and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. She then completed her medical degree at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine before returning to Southern California to complete her family medicine residency at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center, the same program where Dr. Sotelo and Dr. Hu trained.

Her arrival brings capacity for up to 300 new patients to a practice model that caps each physician's panel at 300 - roughly one-fifth the load carried by physicians in traditional insurance-based primary care.

"I am joining New Cadence because I want to be able to practice medicine the way it should be practiced," said Dr. Rasmussen. "Longer visits that aren't rushed, better availability, responding promptly to patients when they reach out, and taking the time to actually get to know them. These things are just not possible within the system most primary care physicians operate in today."

Dr. Rasmussen joins founder Dr. Cordelia Sotelo and Dr. Jasia Hu at the practice's Bellflower Boulevard office. Dr. Sotelo's panel is currently full; Dr. Hu, who joined in December 2025, continues to accept new patients.

"Karen is exactly the kind of physician we built this practice for," said Dr. Cordelia Sotelo, founder of New Cadence Healthcare. "She's experienced, deeply patient-centered, and as committed as we are to the idea that primary care should be a relationship - not a 7-minute transaction. And there's something meaningful about the three of us coming from the same residency program. We share a foundation of how we were trained to care for patients."

Patients interested in establishing care with Dr. Rasmussen can learn more at https://newcadencehealthcare.com/ and call the office at 562-248-2999 to sign up.

New Cadence memberships include appointments that fit your schedule, a direct line to your care team where you are able to reach out to us anytime by phone or through a secure online patient portal with same-day or next-day replies, and care coordination with specialists.

About New Cadence Healthcare

New Cadence Healthcare is a membership-based primary care practice located at 1777 N Bellflower Blvd, Suite 210, in Long Beach, California. The practice was founded by Dr. Cordelia Sotelo to offer an alternative to the time-constrained primary care most patients experience inside the insurance system. Each New Cadence physician caps their panel at 300 patients, allowing for longer visits, direct access, and a deeper patient-physician relationship.

GRAPEVINE, Texas, Jul 02, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Bay Leaf Digital, a B2B SaaS marketing agency headquartered in Texas today announced it has earned the HubSpot Software Industry Specialist badge, a selective and verified designation within HubSpot's Industry Specialization Badge program.

WHAT IS THE HUBSPOT SOFTWARE INDUSTRY SPECIALIST BADGE?

HubSpot is among the most widely adopted CRM and marketing automation platforms in the B2B SaaS market. Selecting a HubSpot Solutions Partner with both platform expertise and software industry knowledge reduces ramp time, improves integration quality, and accelerates time to measurable results.

"SaaS businesses have specific needs that generalist agencies typically miss, including long buying cycles, high integration expectations, and teams that evaluate ROI on a short runway," said Bay Leaf Digital Founder and CEO Abhi Jadhav.

The Industry Specialization Badge program helps SaaS leaders identify marketing partners who have built their practice around the needs of their sector rather than adapting a generic methodology to fit.

To earn the badge, partners must:

* Prove fluency in software industry pain points and use cases

* Deliver purpose-built solutions and integrations tailored to software companies

* Operate a go-to-market motion dedicated to software buyers

* Establish subject matter expertise through documented work with current HubSpot customers

In its notification to Bay Leaf Digital, HubSpot cited the agency's demonstrated ability to deliver industry-specific solutions, integrations, and use cases, along with its mastery of software industry language and understanding of the unique pain points software companies face.

The new designation appears on Bay Leaf Digital's Solutions Directory listing in the HubSpot ecosystem, where software companies can review the agency's verified expertise and partner record.


Manager of Strategy and Growth Marketing Kara Wild said, "Designation as a HubSpot Software Industry Specialist reflects the depth we've built serving exactly those companies. For a software company founder evaluating agencies, it's a verifiable signal that we understand their world before they ever schedule a call."

A RECOGNITION MORE THAN A DECADE IN THE MAKING

Bay Leaf Digital has been dedicated to B2B SaaS since 2013. Experience has taught agency leadership that software companies face a distinct set of marketing challenges that less specialized agencies are not built to navigate.

CEO Jadhav said, "SaaS buying committees often include a mix of technical evaluators, procurement stakeholders, and executive decision-makers. A successful marketing strategy addresses their competing priorities and timelines while simultaneously speaking to each stakeholder. We've spent more than a decade building those kinds of complex approaches for software companies. Our HubSpot Software Industry Specialist badge reflects exactly that depth."

Go-to-market models vary significantly across the sector. Product-led growth (PLG) companies depend on in-product acquisition signals and low-friction conversion paths, while sales-led models require carefully sequenced demand generation, content-driven education, and tight alignment between marketing and sales.

AI-native companies are entering markets with compressed launch timelines, limited brand history, and high investor scrutiny on early pipeline metrics. Vertical SaaS companies must fully grasp the complexities of a specific industry such as healthcare, logistics, legal, or construction while simultaneously positioning against both broad horizontal platforms and niche sector competitors.

The strategies that perform best for professional services firms or retail brands do not transfer cleanly, and companies pay a real cost when they work with a marketing partner that begins by learning their business on the client's time and budget.

"The B2B SaaS market continues to evolve as AI-native companies enter at pace, vertical specialists compete against broader platforms, and founder-led sales models give way to structured go-to-market functions," said Director of Strategy and Growth Marketing Meghann Hawes. "Software companies navigating these changes can be confident in our AI-forward stance and proven blend of industry depth and HubSpot platform expertise."

A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO MARKETING BUILT FOR B2B SAAS

Bay Leaf Digital's Marketing-Led Growth Framework spans every lifecycle stage where marketing investment generates qualified leads. This starts with building early brand credibility, establishing organic search visibility, and creating generative engine authority. Subsequent steps include pipeline development, marketing automation, and revenue operations. Past and current clients include software companies that are past product-market fit and ready to scale beyond founder-led sales as well as those that are recovering from a growth plateau, repositioning after a strategic shift, or entering a market with a new AI-native product.

Before any strategy is set, each engagement begins with a 360° Marketing Diagnostic. This ensures that execution is anchored to a company's specific growth stage and challenges rather than to a predetermined playbook.

Every client is served by a dedicated senior strategist and growth marketing manager. These experienced professionals are supported by in-house specialists in SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO), paid media, content, marketing automation, website development, sales enablement, revenue operations, and more. The agency has developed its own AI platform to power agentic workflows that give software company clients the execution speed of a larger team without the headcount cost or management burden.

After more than a decade spent learning about the industry and building tools and workflows to address SaaS challenges at speed and scale, Bay Leaf Digital has delivered results across multiple verticals and go-to-market models.

Bay Leaf Digital has helped B2B SaaS clients achieve:

* 16x increase in new opportunities

* 60% increase in quality leads

* 5x year over year growth in qualified leads (MQLs) on LinkedIn

* 34% increase in quarter over quarter revenue

* 10x relevant keywords on Page 1 search engine result (SERP) pages

* 3x growth in customers

"Before we build any strategy, my team and I immerse ourselves in the client's business and industry," said Jadhav. "We apply what we learn about their specific stage, market, and growth goals to every lever we pull. This protects their marketing investment and ensures that they derive maximum value out of every dollar we ask them to spend." Designation as a Software Industry Specialist adds a verifiable layer of third-party recognition to Bay Leaf Digital's credentials. For software company leaders considering marketing partners, the award confirms what the agency's client work and partner history already reflect.

NATICK, Mass., Jul 01, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroDex, a precision diagnostics company specializing in the isolation and analysis of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEs) from blood, today announced new findings supporting NDE-associated TDP-43 as a treatment-responsive biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

TDP-43 mislocalization and aggregation occur in more than 97% of ALS cases, about 40% of frontotemporal dementia and a substantial proportion of Alzheimer's-spectrum disease, either as co-pathology or primary pathology (Limbic-predominant Age-related TDP-43 Encephalopathy,LATE). Despite its central role across neurodegenerative diseases, reliable biofluid biomarkers capable of measuring TDP-43 pathology in living patients have been elusive.

Conventional plasma TDP-43 measurements are limited by substantial biological background, as TDP-43 is expressed throughout the body and detected from numerous peripheral cell types. NeuroDex's proprietary ExoSORT™ platform addresses this challenge by selectively enriching neuron-derived extracellular vesicles from blood, providing a minimally invasive window into molecular processes occurring within neurons of the brain and spinal cord.

Across multiple independent cohorts, ExoSORT-based analysis demonstrated that NDE-associated TDP-43 distinguished sporadic ALS from healthy controls. These findings were reproduced across three cohorts: 75 sporadic ALS versus healthy controls (44% increase, P=0.0003); 25 sporadic ALS versus 30 healthy controls (52% increase, P=0.002); and a third cohort of 52 ALS versus 37 healthy controls, in which NDE-associated TDP-43 was markedly elevated in disease (more than twofold higher; P<0.0001).

Longitudinal analyses further showed that NDE-associated TDP-43 increases over time as disease progresses. In the most recent cohort, NDE-associated TDP-43 rose over time in sporadic ALS and tracked clinical status. Within-patient longitudinal modeling estimated an increase of approximately 45% per year in sporadic ALS, and TDP-43 levels were associated with disease severity as measured by the ALSFRS-R.

"TDP-43 is emerging as a central pathology in neurodegeneration, yet measuring it in biofluids has been a long-standing challenge. A blood-based readout of TDP-43 could enable better patient selection and treatment monitoring and make clinical trials more efficient. These data are encouraging and support moving into clinical validation," said Dr. Ajay Verma, CEO of Twilight, which works with NeuroDex to develop TDP43 biomarkers for ALS and FTD.

TDP43 can also serve as a treatment response biomarker. In a recent phase 2b randomized, placebo- controlled clinical trial (PARADIGM) conducted by NeuroSense Therapeutics (Nasdaq: NRSN) with its lead product candidate PrimeC (Cudkowicz et al. 2026), NeuroDex applied its ExoSORT workflow to serial samples collected longitudinally from study participants across all scheduled study visits. NDE-associated TDP-43 was measured in serial blood samples obtained throughout the trial, enabling assessment of biomarker trajectories over time in both placebo-treated and actively treated participants.

In this trial, NDE-associated TDP-43 increased over time in the placebo group, consistent with the natural-history pattern observed in NeuroDex's prior studies. In contrast, participants receiving PrimeC demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in NDE-associated TDP-43 from baseline over the 6-month treatment period.

Notably, the biomarker analyses were derived from the same randomized clinical dataset that demonstrated favorable effects on functional decline, survival, and additional disease-relevant biomarkers. Taken together with NeuroDex's prior work, these findings strengthen the evidence linking NDE-associated TDP-43 to ALS disease biology and support its continued evaluation in clinical studies as a pharmacodynamic biomarker.

The analysis was performed using NeuroDex's ExoSORT platform, the first automated and scalable technology designed specifically for enrichment of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles from blood samples "In our Phase 2b PARADIGM clinical trial, PrimeC demonstrated a meaningful slowing of disease progression and an improvement in survival. The opportunity to pair that clinical effect with a blood-based measure of TDP-43 pathology is an important step toward understanding treatment effects on the underlying biology," said Alon Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense Therapeutics.

Dr. Erez Eitan, NeuroDex CEO added "We are excited to see NDE-associated TDP-43 distinguish disease from healthy controls and change over time in ALSThese results demonstrate the power of our NDE technology to take pathological proteins with broad tissue expression and transform them into neuron-specific biomarkers."

ABOUT EXOSORT™ AND NEURON-DERIVED EVS

ExoSORT™ is NeuroDex's proprietary automated platform for the enrichment of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEs) from blood samples. Using a combination of highly specific neuronal antibodies and a scalable 96-well workflow, ExoSORT™ selectively isolates extracellular vesicles originating from the brain, increasing the neuronal signal by more than 50-fold compared with conventional plasma analyses. By enriching for brain-derived vesicles, ExoSORT™ enables detection of disease-associated proteins that are also present in other tissues, such as TDP-43.

ABOUT NEURODEX

NeuroDex is a precision diagnostics company focused on unlocking the central nervous system through the analysis of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles isolated from blood. Its proprietary ExoSORT™ platform enables researchers and drug developers to measure brain-specific proteins and biomarkers from a routine blood draw, supporting earlier detection, target-engagement readouts, and treatment-response monitoring across neurodegenerative diseases including ALS, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

ABOUT ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive paralysis and is typically fatal within 2-5 years of diagnosis. More than 5,000 people are diagnosed with ALS each year in the U.S. alone, with an estimated annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of people living with ALS is expected to grow by approximately 24% by 2040 across the U.S. and EU.

ABOUT NEUROSENSE PRIMEC

PrimeC, NeuroSense Therapeutics' lead drug candidate, is a novel extended-release oral formulation combining two FDA-approved drugs, ciprofloxacin and celecoxib, in a unique fixed-dose combination. PrimeC is designed to synergistically target several mechanisms implicated in ALS, including neuroinflammation, iron accumulation, and impaired RNA regulation, with the goal of slowing disease progression.

LANCASTER, Calif., Jul 01, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Author, teacher, and coach Shaffa today announced the publication of "The Feeling You Cannot Admit: For the Parent Who Cannot Love Freely and the Child Who Grew Up Knowing It" (ISBN: 979-8996214310, paper; publisher: Peace with Shaffa, July 2026), the first book ever written to directly name and address the specific, targeted, and bewildering feeling some parents carry toward a particular child. The one that coexists with genuine love in ways that make no logical sense, and has lived, until now, in complete silence.

Unlike every comparable title in the parenting and healing space, the book does not name the feeling for the reader. It gives the reader the psychological safety, the honest framework, the scientific grounding, and the spiritual wisdom to name her own experience in her own language for the very first time. Because the most powerful naming, author Shaffa argues, is the one the reader does herself. A name handed to her is a verdict. A name she arrives at through her own honest work is a key to lasting change and genuine transformation.

The book was written simultaneously for two readers: the parent who has never been able to say this out loud to anyone, due to the immense shame the feeling evokes, and the adult who grew up knowing something was missing in the way a parent loved them. In many families, these are the same person.

Drawing on the ACE Study, the research of Dr. Bruce Perry on childhood trauma and brain development, Dr. Rachel Yehuda's epigenetics work on intergenerational trauma, the HeartMath Institute's studies on the electromagnetic field of the heart, and Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, the book provides rigorous scientific grounding for experiences that have previously existed only in shame and silence.

The book introduces two original frameworks. The Love Trinity of Will, Action, and Energy explains why blocked love is not absent love and what it actually takes to unblock it. The Relay Race of Healing maps the generational transmission of this wound and shows why one person's healing changes every generation that follows.

Moving across five parts from the wound to the healing, the book includes personal reflection practices, journaling exercises, somatic and body-based practices, and meditative tools throughout, which makes it both a reading experience and an active healing guide.

"This book exists because I suffered in silence and refused to carry this alone," said Shaffa. "And because I believe no parent should have to. The feeling has never had a name. That silence has cost parents, children, and entire generations. The love was never absent. It was blocked. And what is blocked can be unblocked."

Shaffa is herself a rejected and wounded child and a mother of five who discovered after having her own children that the wound she believed was healed had surfaced in her parenting in ways she was not prepared for. She wrote the book from the other side of the healing, with the authority that only lived experience produces.

"The Feeling You Cannot Admit" is available July 1, 2026 in paperback ($24.99), hardcover ($34.99), and ebook ($9.99) editions. Print editions are available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and booksellers and libraries worldwide via Ingram distribution. The ebook is available through all major digital retailers including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes and Noble Nook, and Google Play.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Jul 01, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation's largest independent cooperative network for mortgage lenders, has launched the TMC Healthcare Cooperative, a self-funded medical program open to all TMC lender members and preferred partners. Developed in partnership with CCIG, a Colorado-based employee benefits firm, the program gives vendors, community banks, credit unions and independent mortgage bankers a way to fund their own health claims as a group, share risk through a captive structure and access institutional-grade stop-loss coverage, replacing the fully insured carrier model where rate increases arrive at renewal with no explanation and no recourse.

"Mortgage lenders have for too long been paying into a system that offers nothing in return when claims run well," said Jodi Hall, president and CEO of The Mortgage Collaborative. "For an IMB without the scale of a large institution, for example, that means absorbing rate increases year after year with no transparency into what's driving costs and no path to a better outcome. The TMC Healthcare Cooperative changes that equation for our entire network, giving members and partners the purchasing power, the claims visibility and the risk-sharing structure that large employers take for granted, delivered through the trust and community TMC has already built."

In a fully insured plan, premiums go to a national carrier regardless of healthcare usage. The TMC Healthcare Cooperative replaces this with a group captive model: participants pool risk and fund their claims, so money stays within the group. A captive layer spreads risk; a tough claims year for one participant doesn't necessarily raise that participant's renewal cost. Stop-loss coverage caps big claims, protecting members from high costs. Surpluses from better-than-expected claims are returned to participants rather than retained by an insurance carrier.

For depository institutions like community banks and credit unions, the program covers all employees, not just mortgage staff. It pairs this with plan partners for administration, pharmacy and stop-loss coverage, selected through evaluation. A committee of TMC lender members vetted these partners to ensure the program matches industry-specific costs, workforce traits and business cycles. Participants see their claims data, control plan design and share best practices with peers.

The TMC Healthcare Cooperative is for organizations with 51+ employees; smaller options are upcoming. Members should start 180 days before renewal with a short interest form, then a 30-minute intro. Interested parties share census and claims data for cost comparison. Participation is exclusive to the TMC community.

Lender members and preferred partners can complete the interest form at https://benefits.thinkccig.com/ or contact their TMC member benefits advocate. Organizations interested in joining TMC may contact referrals@mtgcoop.com.
