Ahead of Originalive™: Luvme Hair Looks Beyond First-Day Hair Quality

Luvme Hair — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:30:44 +0000

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sep 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Ahead of the official debut of Originalive™, Luvme Hair is sharing a closer look at one of the ideas shaping its upcoming premium human hair collection: good hair should be judged by more than how soft, smooth, or shiny it feels when it is new.

First impressions matter. A wig that feels silky, moves naturally, and has a healthy-looking shine can immediately feel premium. But for Luvme Hair, the more meaningful questions often come later: How does the hair respond after washing? Does it remain easy to comb? Can it be restyled without quickly losing its natural feel? And how well does it hold up as it becomes part of everyday life?

These questions are also explored in Luvme's guide to what makes a good human hair wig, which looks beyond softness alone to consider hair integrity, construction, color, and styling performance.

WHY FIRST-DAY SOFTNESS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Originalive™ is being developed around a broader approach to hair quality. Rather than treating "soft hair" as the final measure of premium quality, the collection considers how the original hair is selected and processed, as well as how its desirable qualities can be maintained through repeated use.

At the foundation is carefully selected human hair with attention to cuticle alignment and lower-stress processing. Luvme's development approach is designed to preserve more of the hair's natural structure, strength, elasticity, and texture instead of relying primarily on a surface-level finish.

This distinction matters because the qualities shoppers notice on day one are only part of the ownership experience. Luvme's broader human hair wigs range already reflects the variety of textures, lengths, colors, and constructions consumers encounter; Originalive™ is intended to take the conversation further by placing greater emphasis on the condition and performance of the hair itself.

PUTTING LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE UNDER A CLOSER LOOK

One of the key areas behind Originalive™ is Long-Lasting Hair Quality.

As part of its development framework, Luvme evaluates hair through a 30-cycle standard wash-and-dry process, observing factors including shine, smoothness, and combability at different stages. The purpose is not to suggest that human hair never changes, but to examine how well desirable qualities can be maintained under repeated care.

Human hair naturally responds to water, cleansing, friction, heat, products, and maintenance habits. That is why Luvme's discussion of good human hair wig quality over time focuses on performance after washing and regular wear rather than simply measuring quality by the number of months a wig has been owned.

For Originalive™, that long-term perspective is central: the goal is for good hair to remain recognizable as good hair beyond the unboxing moment.

FROM WASH PERFORMANCE TO RESTYLING

Styling provides another test of hair quality.

Originalive™ is being developed with attention to elasticity, shape recovery, and curl retention, with time-based evaluations used to observe how styled hair responds after the initial look.

Good styling results still depend on technique and care. Luvme's guide on how to make curls last longer on human hair wigs explains how preparation, controlled heat, cooling, and product use can affect curl retention-reinforcing the idea that hair quality and proper care work together.

As Originalive™ moves closer to its official debut, Luvme Hair will continue revealing more about the collection's hair integrity, natural-looking construction, color craftsmanship, and styling performance.

The idea behind this preview is intentionally simple: good hair should not be defined by one perfect first impression. What matters is how the hair continues to look, feel, move, and respond after real life begins.

California Waste Solutions Inc. (CWS) Approaches 35 Years of U.S. Recycling and Global Environmental Infrastructure

California Waste Solutions — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:57:50 +0000

OAKLAND, Calif., Sep 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- California Waste Solutions, Inc. (CWS) is approaching its 35th year as a leader in the international recycling, resource recovery and environmental infrastructure business with operations in California and Vietnam. Headquartered in Oakland, the company serves more than 343,000 customers across Oakland and San Jose and operates six Bay Area recycling facilities. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Vietnam Waste Solutions (VWS) it also manages large-scale waste infrastructure in Ho Chi Minh City.

"Approaching our 35-year milestone in business means more to us than just a number. It's a testament to what immigrant entrepreneurs can achieve if they put time and work into their passions in this country," said David Duong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of California Waste Solutions.

David Duong founded California Waste Solutions in Oakland in 1992. The company received its first City of Oakland franchise in 1993 and has served Oakland continuously since. California Waste Solutions later expanded into San Jose while building a broader operating network around collection, processing, material recovery, customer service and the marketing of recovered commodities.

"When we started, we had eight used trucks and a family willing to work. That was it! The company is much larger today, but the responsibility and the mindset here has not changed. People count on us every week. We have to do the work safely, take care of our employees, serve our customers well, and keep finding better ways to recover materials instead of wasting them. It's a community business at the end of the day," said David Duong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of California Waste Solutions.

California Waste Solutions now operates across two countries and manages the daily work behind municipal recycling systems that hundreds of thousands of residents and businesses rely on every week.

The scale of the company today is closely tied to David Duong's own history. After arriving in the United States as a Vietnamese refugee, Duong and his family rebuilt their lives hrough the recycling business they already knew well, beginning again in California with recovered paper, cardboard and other recyclable materials. David Duong founded California Waste Solutions in Oakland in 1992 with eight used collection trucks and spent the following decades expanding the business through municipal recycling, material recovery and environmental infrastructure in Oakland and San Jose. He later brought that experience back to Vietnam through Vietnam Waste Solutions, where the family developed large-scale waste and environmental infrastructure serving Ho Chi Minh City. His path from refugee resettlement to building environmental businesses across the United States and Vietnam is also documented in The King of Trash, a film about David Duong, the Duong family and the experiences that shaped their work across both countries.

AN "INTEGRATED MUNICIPAL SERVICE OPERATING MODEL"

California Waste Solutions provides residential recycling collection in Oakland through Oakland Recycles and in San Jose through San Jose Recycles. The company also serves commercial customers, including manufacturers, offices, retailers, restaurants and multifamily properties.

Collection was where the family business began, and it remains the part of California Waste Solutions most visible to customers. But collection is only the first step in a larger system that includes sorting, processing, material recovery, logistics and commodity marketing.

After recyclable material reaches a processing facility, mixed loads are separated into usable streams of paper, cardboard, plastics, metals and glass. The materials are then prepared to meet the specifications of mills, processors and other buyers before they can return to manufacturing facilities.

That process depends on an operating network that reaches well beyond the curb. Drivers manage collection routes. Mechanics keep trucks and processing equipment in service. Facility teams operate conveyors and sorting systems, remove unwanted material and monitor quality. Customer service employees work with residents, businesses and property managers. Supervisors coordinate people, equipment, safety requirements and daily service performance.

For a municipal recycling operator, scale matters only when the system works together as a single unit. A route completed on time can still create problems if material is poorly sorted downstream. Processing capacity has little value if equipment is unreliable. Technology adds little if employees cannot use the information it provides. California Waste Solutions has built its operating model around the connection between collection, processing, service and material recovery.

"What we've developed here at California Waste Solutions can be best described as a tightly-knit integrated municipal operating model. Waste collection and recycling is a community business and communities don't work in linear ways. People throw out different things at different times in the year, and they're not always predictable in their habits. Technologies change over time too. Three decades ago people used to throw out videotapes and cassettes; today they throw out smartphones. The nature of what you're recycling isn't always the same, but by building a system that accounts for these changes, we've been able to consistently improve the quality of our output," said David Duong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of California Waste Solutions.

Nearly 35 years after David Duong founded California Waste Solutions, the company remains family-owned and operated, with the next generation now holding leadership responsibilities across the business. Michael Duong serves as President, Johnny Duong as Chief Operating Officer, Kristina Duong as Chief Financial Officer and Victor Duong as Executive Vice President of Public Affairs. Their roles span operations, finance, public affairs, municipal relationships and long-term planning, giving the company continuity between the business David Duong built in Oakland and the organization now operating across California and Vietnam. The leadership structure reflects years of the next generation working inside the business alongside David Duong rather than a sudden transfer of responsibility.

REINVESTING IN SAFETY, SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The recycling industry has undergone enormous changes since California Waste Solutions began operating in 1992. Material streams are more complex, commodity specifications are tighter, cities expect greater visibility into service performance, and batteries and electronic devices have created new safety risks for collection vehicles and processing facilities.

California Waste Solutions has continued to reinvest in the systems behind its daily operations every year. The company has invested more than $2 million in upgrades to current operating systems designed to improve coordination, efficiency, safety and service performance across collection and processing activities during the time it has been in business.

Safety technology is another area of constant focus. California Waste Solutions is evaluating infrared cameras, smoke and heat detection systems and fire-extinguishing components for collection vehicles to improve early detection and response when batteries or other hazardous materials enter collection vehicles or processing facilities. The company is also evaluating electric and lower-emission collection vehicles as part of its longer-term fleet planning.

Inside its recycling facilities, California Waste Solutions continues to modernize sorting and processing systems while giving employees better information about material flow and equipment performance. The objective is to identify problems earlier, respond faster and improve the consistency of the operation without separating technology from the people responsible for using it.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS THROUGH VIETNAM WASTE SOLUTIONS

California Waste Solutions operates internationally through Vietnam Waste Solutions, its wholly owned subsidiary in Vietnam. Vietnam Waste Solutions develops and operates integrated waste management infrastructure, extending the company's experience from municipal recycling in Northern California to large-scale environmental systems serving Ho Chi Minh City.

At the center of that international operation is the Da Phuoc Integrated Solid Waste Facility (DPI) in Ho Chi Minh City. The 341-acre facility receives more than 6,500 tons of waste per day and handles approximately 2.4 million tons annually. Da Phuoc is Southeast Asia's first and only integrated solid waste facility and Vietnam's largest landfill operation. A World Bank environmental assessment has also described the Da Phuoc complex as Vietnam's largest solid waste processing complex.

Da Phuoc combines recycling and material recovery, sanitary landfill management, composting, industrial leachate and wastewater treatment, treated-water reuse, landfill-gas collection and electricity generation within one operating complex. Those systems were developed over time to manage not only where municipal waste is placed, but also what can be recovered from it and how the water and gas produced by landfill operations are controlled.

The Da Phuoc landfill dates back more than two decades. As relations between Vietnam and the United States normalized in the 1990s, Ho Chi Minh City began looking for more advanced approaches to municipal waste treatment. California Waste Solutions agreed to develop the project under a structure that gave the company ownership of the facility and required it to be built to U.S. environmental standards.

Building Da Phuoc to U.S.-standard environmental requirements meant investing in engineered liner systems, dedicated leachate and wastewater treatment, landfill-gas collection and other controls that went well beyond the cost of a conventional disposal site. For David Duong, that additional investment was essential to creating a facility designed to serve Ho Chi Minh City reliably for decades.

Da Phuoc became one of the first major catalysts for Vietnam's new energy-efficiency in an economy that is growing at nearly 8% a year.

"California Waste Solutions and Vietnam Waste Solutions became overnight pioneers in clean, renewable energy and in installing best-of-breed American and European technologies in Vietnam at the very start of the country's huge growth curve," said David Duong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of California Waste Solutions. "Because we were using American technology and know-how we were able to effectively plan for Ho Chi Minh City's growth decades ahead of time."

Today, only one American employee remains on the ground, while the operation is run overwhelmingly by Vietnamese engineers, employees and technical personnel. Da Phuoc remains the only landfill in Vietnam developed to U.S. Subtitle D standards, according to company records, and its landfill-gas recovery and environmental systems support Vietnam's broader efforts to improve waste management and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions on the path toward net zero by 2050.

For California Waste Solutions, Vietnam Waste Solutions represented a significant expansion of the business David Duong had built in Northern California. The collection routes and material recovery facilities in Oakland and San Jose operate in a different environment from Da Phuoc, but both businesses depend on the same operating fundamentals: reliable infrastructure, material recovery, environmental controls and systems capable of performing every day at city scale. Through Vietnam Waste Solutions, that experience expanded into sanitary landfill engineering, recycling, composting, leachate and wastewater treatment, landfill-gas recovery and energy generation. Da Phuoc gave California Waste Solutions experience managing environmental infrastructure at a scale far beyond a conventional recycling operation.

Together, the California and Vietnam operations give California Waste Solutions experience across the full chain of environmental services, from neighborhood collection and material recovery to integrated waste infrastructure. That international operating footprint has become a defining part of the company as it approaches its 35th year.

A COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIP THAT GOES BEYOND COLLECTION

Long-term municipal service also requires communication outside the truck and the processing facility. Residents, property managers, schools and other institutions need clear guidance on which materials belong in recycling and which require another collection or disposal route.

California Waste Solutions produces recycling guides, multilingual communications, property-manager resources and conducts school visits and public outreach. Recent activities have included the Lakeshore Street Festival in Oakland, the Oakland Housing Authority Summer Block Party and recycling education with a local Daisy Scout troop. The company also participates in programs serving seniors, young people and multifamily communities.

"Good recycling service is not only about picking up a cart," said Michael Duong, President of California Waste Solutions. "It is also about helping people understand what belongs in that cart and why it matters. Our employees, city partners, residents and businesses are all part of the same system. The company's operations and the community which they serve are co-dependent in that way. That's why we value our place in the local community so much."

The same operating logic is behind a planned residential household battery recycling program in San Jose for 2027. California Waste Solutions is collaborating with the City of San Jose on a service intended to make household battery recycling easier while keeping batteries out of the conventional recycling stream, where damaged or improperly handled batteries can create serious fire risks.

The company's community record also extends beyond recycling education. In December 2024, David Duong committed $5 million to the scholarship fund at Fulbright University Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City through Vietnam Waste Solutions. One million dollars has been contributed, with the remaining $4 million structured as a matching commitment intended to encourage additional donations and expand financial aid for students facing financial hardship.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a manufacturing operation established in Vietnam produced masks and hand sanitizer that were distributed in California through local governments and community organizations. Millions of units were donated, and the Duong family also sent 1,200 oxygen concentrators to hospitals in Vietnam. Other support has included Vietnamese language and culture schools, assistance for California cancer patients, humanitarian relief following Typhoon Yagi in northern Vietnam and support for the Oakland Dynamites youth football program.

These programs are separate from California Waste Solutions' municipal service work, but they reflect the company's long-term presence in the places where it operates. The business has grown across California and Vietnam, and so has the scale of the responsibilities it has chosen to take on outside its core operations.

APPROACHING 35 YEARS WITH A LARGER OPERATING FOOTPRINT

California Waste Solutions will mark its 35th anniversary in 2027. The milestone comes at a time when recycling and waste management are becoming more demanding operational businesses. Cities expect reliable service, stronger safety systems, more accurate data and continued investment in infrastructure capable of handling changing material streams.

California Waste Solutions enters its mid-thirties chapter with six Bay Area facilities and more than 343,000 customers across Oakland and San Jose. Its international operations in Vietnam extend that experience into large-scale environmental infrastructure.

The company that began in Oakland in 1992 is now responsible for a much larger system. Its future will be judged the same way its municipal work has always been judged: by whether it performs safely, consistently and over time.

Tenorshare Guides: How to Transfer WhatsApp from Android to an iPhone 18 Pro

Tenorshare Co. Ltd. — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:00:05 +0000

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sep 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tenorshare has just put out a detailed new guide that walks you through exactly how to transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone 18 Pro. The resource addresses common challenges with cross-platform WhatsApp transfers, including how to preserve chats and media when moving data to an already set up iPhone. It provides practical solutions to help users transfer their important WhatsApp data safely and avoid data loss during an iPhone upgrade.

"The main purpose of this guide is to offer a clear roadmap for mobile users who want to keep their messaging history intact," said a Tenorshare spokesperson. "When upgrading to iPhone 18 Pro, our goal is to help users preserve their important WhatsApp data and avoid the data loss issues that can come with device upgrades."

FineVoice Launches Aunio, an Audio Production Agent for End-to-End AI Audio Creation

FineVoice — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 15:35:45 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sep 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- FineVoice today announced the launch of Aunio, an end-to-end AI audio production agent designed to help anyone create professional, publish-ready audio without a dedicated audio production team.

Rather than generating individual audio assets in isolation, Aunio understands the content and context of a project and coordinates capabilities across voices, voiceovers, music, sound effects, and audio processing. Users can start from a creative idea or source material such as text, documents, audio, images, or video, then work with Aunio to develop it into polished, production-ready audio within a single, integrated workflow.

Aunio includes built-in capabilities for voice, music, sound design, and audio processing, while enabling users to create customizable, reusable, and extensible AI skills for specialized production tasks. AI skills allow users to convert their creative methods, production preferences, and recurring workflows into executable AI capabilities. Users can apply skills across projects, as well as import and share them to extend their production workflows. In this way, Aunio is designed not only to help users complete a single audio task, but also to help them build a more personalized, repeatable, and scalable audio production system over time.

Generative AI has simplified the creation of individual audio assets. Yet complete audio production still typically involves multiple tools, repeated configuration, and specialized expertise. Voiceover, background music, sound effects, audio separation, editing, and post-production are often managed as separate tasks, resulting in fragmented and time-intensive workflows. For individual creators, small production teams, and marketing departments, the challenge is not merely generating an audio clip, but delivering high-quality, consistent content within a shorter production cycle.

"Audio production involves much more than generating a single voice or sound," said the Manager at FineVoice. "It requires an understanding of the creative intent, coordination across multiple production stages, and careful integration of voices, music, sound effects, and other audio elements. With Aunio, creators have an AI audio production team working alongside them, allowing them to spend more time on their ideas and final expression while helping them turn a creative concept into a finished audio work with greater ease and efficiency."

Aunio is available today through FineVoice. Visit Aunio to learn more, or access the Aunio app to explore video, audio, and music production capabilities.

FirstClose introduces Lender Portal to manage home equity borrower leads in one workspace

FirstClose — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 11:00:43 +0000

AUSTIN, Texas, Sep 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- FirstClose™, a leading fintech provider of data and workflow solutions for home equity and mortgage lenders nationwide, announced today the launch of Lender Portal, a new workspace that lets loan officers manage borrower leads in one place, from initial contact through submission.

Available to lenders using FirstClose's XpressEquity digital application and borrower portal, Lender Portal covers lead intake, eligibility evaluation and borrower engagement tracking. Loan officers can create leads directly in Lender Portal when taking applications by phone or in-branch. Applications that borrowers start on their own also flow directly into the same pipeline. If the borrower used an application link associated with a specific loan officer, Lender Portal automatically assigns the lead to that individual. Unassigned leads can be claimed by another loan officer or reassigned by a manager.

Lender Portal also verifies borrower eligibility before an application reaches underwriting by comparing a soft-pull credit score against the lender's configured minimum and measuring the borrower's home equity against the lender's limits. From there, the portal presents applicants with eligible loan programs to select from. This early check is designed to reduce application fallout, counteroffers and rework in underwriting.

Within the workspace, a loan officer can check a lead's status and when the borrower last engaged to time follow-up calls or messages accordingly. Lender Portal also identifies stalled applications and can send automatic reminders to the borrower. Once the borrower re-engages, the loan officer can resume the application from the last completed milestone rather than starting over.

"Loan officers spend a lot of their day hunting for information instead of talking to borrowers, which is both inefficient and costly because that's how applications stall and borrowers slip away," said Tedd Smith, chief executive officer of FirstClose. "Lender Portal addresses that challenge head-on so that loan officers can spend more time assisting borrowers and moving applications forward rather than searching between systems."

Lender Portal is part of FirstClose's broader platform for mortgage and home equity lenders, which also includes XpressEquity. To learn more about Lender Portal, visit https://www.firstclose.com/lp-lender-portal/.

FirstClose makes this possible through offering systems and relationships that enable lenders to assist their borrowers more effectively, reduce closing costs and ultimately shorten closing times.

Analysis: iEmergent’s 2025 U.S. mortgage forecasts closely track HMDA actuals

IEmergent — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 19:20:32 +0000

DES MOINES, Iowa, Sep 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, today released a new analysis validating its 2025 forecasts against actual Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data. The analysis, which uses final 2025 HMDA data released by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council on June 23, 2026, spans every geographic level from national down to individual census tracts, showing the strength of iEmergent's bottom-up forecasting approach.

The accuracy of iEmergent's 2025 purchase loan forecasts for the nation's top 30 largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) averaged well above 90% when compared against 2025 HMDA actuals. That figure reflects absolute forecast accuracy, which cannot exceed 100%.

Looking at per-tract loan error by individual census tract, iEmergent's 2025 forecast was within 10 loans of actual volume in more than 64.3% of the nation's 84,414 census tracts. Widening that margin to 15 loans, the forecast was accurate for 78.6% of all tracts.

"Lenders need a dependable line of sight into where mortgage opportunity is forming, market by market - not months after the fact, once HMDA data finally confirms it, but early enough to guide decisions on staffing, branch locations, marketing spend and growth strategy for the year ahead," iEmergent CEO Laird Nossuli said. "That's exactly what iEmergent's proprietary, bottom-up model is built to deliver."

iEmergent also validated the accuracy of its forecasts against actual HMDA data at the borrower race and ethnicity level. Segment-level accuracy is calculated as the ratio of forecast to actual loan volume, which reflects both the size and direction of the forecast error. A figure above 100% indicates the forecast slightly exceeded actual volume; a figure below 100% indicates it fell short. For 2025, the company's fourth-quarter 2024 forecast produced the following national-level accuracy rates by borrower segment:

* Asian borrowers: 107.3% accuracy

* Black borrowers: 96.3% accuracy

* Hispanic borrowers: 90.5% accuracy

* Native American and Pacific Islander borrowers: 83.8% accuracy

* Non-Hispanic white borrowers: 89.4% accuracy

iEmergent's forecasts are built on two core concepts: the Purchase Mortgage Generation Rate, which measures the rate at which an individual market produces purchase mortgages, and the Homebuyer Pool, the number of households ready, willing and able to buy a home in a given year. Together, these replace traditional top-down, supply-side forecasting models with a demand-driven approach rooted in how households actually behave. A full overview of iEmergent's forecasting methodology is available at https://www.iemergent.com/insights/mortgage-opportunity-forecasting.

ABOUT IEMERGENT

Founded in 2000, iEmergent provides mortgage lending forecasts and analytics to the lending, housing and real estate industries. The company offers an extensive variety of forecast and market intelligence products, including Mortgage MarketSmart, a visualization tool that helps lenders quantify how mortgage markets will change.

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sep 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Excited for iOS 27, but some iPhone users asked, "Is there a way to remove iOS 27 from my iPhone?" The answer is yes. To remove iOS 27, it's common to either use iTunes/Finder in Recovery Mode or a professional iOS downgrade tool like Tenorshare ReiBoot, which supports a 1-click downgrade without data loss.

Before you start, make sure you have an earlier iOS 26 backup. Restoring iOS 27 is Apple's official method to remove iOS 27. However, restoring iOS 27 must wipe all data on your iPhone, and you can't restore an iOS 27 backup to iOS 26.

STEPS TO RESTORE IOS 27 VIA RECOVERY MODE:

Step 1. Turn off Find My iPhone and connect the iPhone to the PC/Mac via cable.

Step 2. Put the iPhone into iOS 27 New Recovery Mode (Press Volume Up -> Volume Down -> Press and hold the Side Button).

Step 3. Open iTunes on Windows or Finder on Mac, click Restore iOS 27.

METHOD 2: REMOVE IOS 27 WITHOUT DATA LOSS VIA TENORSHARE REIBOOT (SIMPLE & WORKABLE)

If you prefer to keep all data while removing iOS 27, using an iOS downgrade tool will be a good choice. Tenorshare ReiBoot, a well-known iOS system repair utility, enables users to remove iOS 27 and install a stable iOS 26.7 in about 20 minutes, all while preserving personal data.

Why Tenorshare ReiBoot's approach stands out:

1. No data loss and 100% protection of the original details.

2. Resolve over 150 iOS-related issues, including iPhone battery drain, lag, and stuck "Update Requested" errors.

3. Simple to use, even if you are a beginner downgrading iOS 27 to26.7.

STEPS TO REMOVE IOS 27 VIA TENORSHARE REIBOOT:

Step 1. Download the official Tenorshare ReiBoot on your PC or Mac, then connect your iPhone.

Step 2. Select iOS Upgrade/Downgrade and choose the Downgrade option.

Step 3. ReiBoot will automatically fetch the latest signed iOS 26.7 firmware package. Click Download.

Step 4. Click Initiate Downgrade. The software will safely replace the iOS 27 system with iOS 26 in under 20 minutes without wiping your personal data.

ALTERNATIVE: HOW TO EXIT IOS 27 BETA WITHOUT A COMPUTER?

It's impossible to remove iOS 27 without a computer, but we can stop your iOS 27 from receiving unstable iOS beta updates.

First, Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Then, Toggle Beta Updates to OFF. Your iPhone will stop receiving iOS beta updates until the official version is out.

Check Your AI-Generated Text for Free with Clever AI Detector

CleverFiles — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:59:10 +0000

NEW CASTLE, Del., Sep 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- CleverFiles announced the launch of Clever AI Detector, a free tool that checks text for signs of AI-generated writing, with no ads and no sign-up required.

WHAT CLEVER AI DETECTOR DOES

Clever AI Detector scans up to 10,000 words per run without requiring you to create or sign in to an account, and your checks are unlimited. You get results in seconds that show the overall likelihood that your text was produced by AI at the document level, plus a second result for every single sentence in your text on a four-step color-coded scale from surely human to surely AI. This lets you see which sentences contributed to the score that determined your text's AI probability, rather than just a summary score.

When a sentence is scored as "AI," the tool explains why - with possible reasons including lack of personal voice, lack of specific details, overly polished language, overuse of formal language, and excessive use of transition words - allowing you to edit precisely based on the issues found. Clever AI Detector does not make claims that AI-written texts are definitively human or fake - only that they are more or less likely to be AI-written, and a flagged sentence should be seen as a reason to review, rather than a definitive judgment.

The tool is part of a suite that includes an AI Humanizer, AI Paraphraser, and Grammar Checker; every tool is free to use, free of ads and paywalls, and includes a history of your checks for any text you want to review later.

HOW IT WORKS

Clever AI Detector's scoring model combines three signals, applied to every sentence individually before being rolled into the overall score:

* Word- and phrase-level predictability: how likely a given word or phrase is to appear at that exact point in the text, based on patterns common to AI-generated writing.

* Sentence rhythm: how uniform sentence length and structure stay across the passage - AI writing tends to hold a steadier, more even rhythm than most human writing.

* Reference pattern matching: how closely the phrasing matches patterns drawn from a reference set of human and AI writing samples.

Together, these three signals highlight the types of text patterns that are most likely to appear in a result that may have been created with AI. A lack of a personal voice, specific details, overly formal language, excessive use of transition words, and other similar patterns are all common signs of text that may have been generated by an AI. Since each sentence is independently scored and color-coded, one sentence that appears to be written by an AI will not affect the overall score of a paper that was mostly written by a person, and vice versa.

Clever AI Detector recognizes content created by leading AI models and writing tools, including but not limited to: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Llama, Mistral, Qwen, and many more.

BENCHMARK RESULTS

An independent benchmark on the GEDE research corpus in August 2026 tested eight commercial AI detectors, Clever AI Detector among them, across 750 texts.

Metric	Result
AI-generated texts correctly flagged	96.7% of 600 AI-involved texts
Weakest-category floor	92.0% — the highest floor of the eight detectors tested, five points above the next-best result
Human texts misflagged as AI (150-text control set)	0

Caveat: at a control-set sample size of 150, the true false-positive rate for any of the eight tools could still run as high as 2.5%.

Full benchmark results, including how Clever AI Detector compares against the other seven tools tested, are available here: Best AI Detectors - full August 2026 benchmark comparison.

WHO IT'S FOR

Clever AI Detector is applicable to any English text; its sentence-level scoring makes it most useful for essays and coursework, where a single score is often insufficient to determine if action is needed. Students can review a draft before submitting it and see exactly which sentences would be flagged; teachers and professors receive a sentence-by-sentence analysis of a submission rather than an overall detectability score, along with explanations for each potential issue.

That same sentence-level scoring works just as well across other kinds of writing:

* Editors and publishers can screen submitted copy before it goes to print or goes live.

* Hiring teams can review application materials such as cover letters and writing samples.

* Any writer can run their own drafts before publishing or submitting them to see which sentences might read as AI-written.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING

Clever AI Detector is available now at Try Clever AI Detector, free of charge, with no sign-up and no limit on checks. The detector itself carries no ads and no paywall. https://cleverhumanizer.ai/ai-detector

LinkedIn Activity Predicts Revenue More Than Website Traffic, shows 42DM’s GTM Benchmark Research into 100 B2B AI Companies

42DM — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:00:45 +0000

TENAFLY, N.J., Sep 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 42DM, a B2B tech marketing agency specializing in go-to-market strategy for AI and SaaS companies, recently released "From Traffic to Pipeline: GTM Lessons from 100 Top AI Products," a benchmark study mapping which channels and signals correlate with revenue across 100 leading AI infrastructure companies.

The research was supervised by Kate Vasylenko, Co-Founder and CEO of 42DM. The focus on AI infrastructure was deliberate: the niche is developing at a pace that makes GTM cause-and-effect visible far faster than in mature categories, where market positions have been locked in for years.

"In a market this dynamic, you can actually watch companies rise or stall based on their GTM choices," said Vasylenko. "That makes AI infrastructure a much cleaner lens for understanding which activities predict revenue and which ones just feel like progress."

WHAT THE RESEARCH EXAMINES

The study analyzed more than 40 signals across 11 dimensions, including LinkedIn distribution, organic and AI search visibility, trust infrastructure, paid channels, and founder brand, using Spearman rank correlations against revenue outcomes.

Among the findings: the channel with the strongest controllable correlation to revenue is one most teams treat as secondary. Trust infrastructure outperforms raw traffic volume. And the early data on AI search visibility already shows a measurable signal, despite referral volumes still being modest.

On paid channels, the research surfaces meaningful differences between display, social, and search, with results that may prompt some teams to reconsider where their paid budget is working hardest.

"The patterns are consistent enough that we feel confident saying: the companies growing fastest in this space are building specific things, in a specific order," Kate said. "The research shows what those things are."

WHY AI INFRASTRUCTURE

AI infrastructure was selected because top performers in the niche compete for similar buyers and face similar GTM challenges without directly competing with each other. That structure allows clean comparisons across GTM approaches. The speed of the market means the data reflects recent strategic choices rather than positions built over a decade, making the correlations more actionable for companies building their GTM motion today.

ACCESS THE RESEARCH

The full report is available at https://42dm.net/resource/downloads/gtm-benchmark-research/

It includes an interactive company explorer, GTM signal breakdowns, correlations segmented by GTM motion and company maturity, and a personalized audit checklist. Teams looking to benchmark their own GTM motion against the dataset can book a free review at https://42dm.net/gtm-review-us/

METHODOLOGY

The benchmark covers 100 AI infrastructure companies selected to represent top performers within the niche. Data was collected across LinkedIn, Similarweb, Ahrefs, G2, GitHub, analyst databases, and proprietary AI visibility tools. All correlations are reported as Spearman rank coefficients.

ABOUT 42DM

42DM is a B2B tech marketing agency that helps AI companies, SaaS platforms, cybersecurity firms, and fintech brands build measurable go-to-market engines. The agency's services span demand generation, inbound marketing, AI search optimization (AEO), account-based marketing (ABM), martech, and PPC. 42DM works with companies at Series A through the growth stage and publishes original research to help marketing leaders make data-driven GTM decisions.

Argyle extends its mortgage verification experience to the wholesale channel with the launch of a broker-branded borrower experience

Argyle — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:00:12 +0000

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., Sep 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Argyle, the leading consumer-permissioned verification platform, today announced the launch of a new solution that enables wholesale mortgage lenders to extend income, employment, and asset verification across their broker networks with a broker-branded borrower experience. The solution is available through Argyle's Verification API as well as through Encompass® TPO Connect from ICE Mortgage Technology®.

Argyle's verification experience is already used by retail mortgage lenders to move borrowers through income, employment and asset verification in minutes. Extending that same experience to wholesale requires accounting for a different relationship: the broker, not the lender, is the borrower's primary point of contact. Argyle's new solution preserves that relationship by including the broker's name and contact information in verification invites, so borrowers recognize who the request came from and know exactly who to contact with questions.

While the experience reflects the broker relationship, the process behind it is unchanged. Borrowers share their income, employment and asset data straight from the payroll or bank source, and the lender receives GSE-approved direct-source documentation to underwrite the file. Where payroll and banking connectivity isn't available, brokers can offer document-based income verification within the same flow.

For wholesale lenders using Argyle's Verification API or Encompass TPO Connect, the new solution delivers:

* Faster turn times to clear to close: Standardized, direct-source documentation supports cleaner files, reducing underwriting follow-up and back-and-forth with brokers and borrowers.

* One setup across the broker channel: A single configuration generates broker-specific invites, eliminating the need to build or maintain a separate setup for each broker.

* A more competitive offering for brokers - Lenders can offer brokers a lower-cost verification option than they absorb today, with document-based income verification available as a fallback.

For brokers, it delivers:

* Broker-branded borrower communications: Verification invites include the broker's name and contact information, so the broker remains the borrower's point of contact throughout the process.

* Lower verification costs: Brokers can access consumer-permissioned verification at a lower price point than traditional verification options.

* Less back-and-forth: Direct-source verification can reduce document collection and follow-up, helping brokers move loans forward faster.

"Wholesale is a part of the mortgage market we've wanted to serve well for a long time," said John Hardesty, chief revenue officer at Argyle. "Brokers have earned the trust and relationships they build with borrowers, and now they can offer the same fast, direct-source verification experience under their own name while wholesale lenders extend Argyle across their broker networks."

"Consistency creates a smoother path from application to closing," said Rebecca Erb, AVP product manager at PwrTPO. "When income, employment, and asset documentation comes back the same way every time, our underwriters spend less time on follow-up requests and more time clearing loans. Giving our TPO partners a streamlined validation experience that includes their name in borrower communications, reduces documentation, and comes at a lower cost creates real value for both our partners and their borrowers."

The broker-branded borrower experience is available now to wholesale mortgage lenders through Argyle's Verification API or through Encompass TPO Connect. Wholesale lenders can learn more or contact us to get started at argyle.com/contact-sales.

About Argyle

Argyle is the leading consumer-permissioned verification platform empowering consumers to share their income, employment, and asset data through consumer-directed payroll and bank connections. With Argyle, lenders automate verification workflows to save time, reduce fraud and compliance risks, lower costs and build better product experiences. As an authorized supplier for Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter® validation service and an approved service provider supporting Freddie Mac's Loan Product Advisor® asset and income modeler (AIM), Argyle empowers mortgage lenders to receive the paystubs and W-2s applicants share, understand applicants' ability to pay and improve loan quality-all at up to 80% less cost. Argyle's commitment to innovation is backed by investors including Bain Capital Ventures, Checkr, Mastercard and SignalFire.

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

EnergyCAP — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:10:22 +0000

ORLANDO, Fla., Sep 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.

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.

Zeteo Biomedical Expands into Pulmonary Drug Delivery with AriesMR Active Dry Powder Inhaler

Zeteo Biomedical LLC — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 12:15:12 +0000

AUSTIN, Texas, Sep 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Zeteo Biomedical LLC today announced the expansion of its ZTECH-P™ powder drug-delivery platform into pulmonary delivery with the introduction of AriesMR™, a reloadable active dry powder inhaler designed for controlled pulmonary administration of pharmaceutical powders without reliance on patient-generated inspiratory energy for powder aerosolization or the use of CFC/HFA propellants.

Unlike conventional passive dry powder inhalers that depend substantially on a patient's inspiratory effort to disperse and aerosolize a formulation, AriesMR uses an integrated mechanical energy source to actively aerosolize and deliver the powder. The orientation-independent platform provides configurable dose and aerosolization parameters that can be optimized with formulation and particle characteristics for pulmonary delivery.

"AriesMR extends technologies we have developed and refined for nasal powder delivery into a pulmonary platform designed around many of the same challenges our pharmaceutical partners face-dose control, formulation protection, combination-product development and scalable manufacturing," said Timothy Sullivan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zeteo Biomedical.

"Importantly, the technology provides active powder aerosolization without requiring either HFA propellants or the patient's inspiratory effort as the primary energy source for powder dispersion."

The platform provides pharmaceutical developers with another approach to pulmonary combination-product development at a time when the industry is evaluating new inhalation technologies, including propellant-free alternatives to conventional pressurized inhaler platforms.

AriesMR incorporates replaceable unit-dose powder cartridges in a compact, mechanically actuated device, with on-board storage for up to six cartridges and a removable and replaceable mouthpiece. The device requires no battery power and is designed to operate independently of device orientation.

The platform can support single-API and dual-API configurations, including architectures in which separate powder formulations are maintained within the primary packaging until the point of delivery. This capability may enable combination-product strategies where formulation compatibility, stability or other development considerations make conventional co-formulation difficult.

AriesMR is being developed as part of Zeteo's integrated combination-product development platform, bringing together delivery-device engineering, formulation and particle optimization, unit-dose primary packaging, product characterization and manufacturing technology. The platform is designed to support programs from early feasibility and preclinical development through clinical translation and commercial scale-up.

The expansion into pulmonary delivery builds on Zeteo's existing ZTECH-P™ and ZTECH-L™ platforms supporting nasal, nose-to-brain, ophthalmic, sublingual and other non-invasive routes of administration.

Sullivan will participate in the IPAC-RS 2026 Nasal Innovation Forum, September 16-17 in Jersey City, New Jersey, where Zeteo will present work involving its intranasal powder delivery technology and meet with pharmaceutical and drug-delivery developers.

"Many of the formulation, device, primary-container and manufacturing challenges encountered in nasal powder development have direct parallels in pulmonary combination-product development," Sullivan added. "The Forum provides an opportunity to discuss how those capabilities can be applied across both routes and to explore pulmonary programs where an active, propellant-free powder delivery approach may offer advantages."

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

Naples Flatbread Kitchen and Bar — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 12:00:21 +0000

ESTERO, Fla., Sep 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.

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.
