KARAS WINES NOMINATED FOR 'NEW WORLD WINERY OF THE YEAR' BY WINE ENTHUSIAST

Armenian pioneer recognized for helping shape the country's modern wine renaissance through ancient winemaking heritage, high-altitude volcanic terroir and innovation

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Karas Wines, one of Armenia's leading wineries and a pioneering force behind the country's modern wine renaissance, has been nominated for 'New World Winery of the Year' in the 2026 Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards.

While Armenia has one of the world's oldest winemaking traditions, Karas represents a new chapter for Armenian wine, combining ancient heritage with modern viticulture, technology and an international vision to bring the country's distinctive terroirs and indigenous varieties to the global wine market.

"It is a great honor for Karas Wines to be nominated for New World Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast," said Juliana Del Aguila Eurnekian, Owner and President of Karas Wines. "This nomination is a wonderful recognition of the journey we have undertaken over the past two decades to build a modern winery in Armenia while remaining deeply connected to the history, land and traditions of our country. We are proud to see Armenian wine gaining greater visibility internationally, and we are honored that Karas is part of this conversation."

Founded in 2004 by the Eurnekian family, Karas Wines is located in Armenia's Ararat Valley, in the Armavir region, where its vineyards are planted at elevations exceeding 1,300 meters above sea level in mineral-rich volcanic soils. The estate encompasses more than 400 hectares of vineyards, growing both indigenous Armenian varieties and international grapes.

Karas' approach is rooted in the exploration and preservation of Armenia's indigenous grape heritage while embracing modern winemaking. The winery has supported ampelographic research identifying and studying more than 120 indigenous Armenian grape varieties, including Areni and Sireni, and has combined traditional practices such as the use of karases—Armenian clay vessels—with contemporary viticulture and winemaking techniques.

Innovation and sustainability are also central to the winery's development. Karas became the first Armenian winery to certify an organic vineyard, while investing in solar energy, advanced drip irrigation and digitally managed water systems designed for responsible vineyard management in the semi-arid Ararat Valley.

Today, Karas wines are exported to international markets including the United States and Europe, where the winery continues to introduce consumers and the wine trade to Armenia's emerging wine identity. Its wines have received international recognition, while the brand has expanded its presence in the U.S. market through placements with major national retailers. In the United States, Karas wines are available through Fat & Happy Beverages, the winery's U.S. importer and distributor, as well as at Total Wine & More, where a selection of Karas wines is available to consumers.

The Wine Star Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the wine and beverage industry across a range of categories and special recognitions. Karas Wines' nomination places the Armenian winery among the producers being considered for one of the industry's notable annual honors and brings further international attention to Armenia's growing presence on the global wine stage.

The Article Outlines Warning Signs That Help Homeowners Determine Whether Roof Repair or Replacement Is the More Practical Long-Term Solution.

READING, Pa., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What signs show whether a homeowner needs roof repair or roof replacement? HelloNation published an article featuring insights from Roofing Restoration Expert Travis Frees that answers this question.

The article explains that deciding between roof repair vs. replacement depends on several parts of a roofing system. Roof age, the extent of damage, and whether problems are isolated or widespread can all affect the decision. A professional inspection should consider shingles, flashing, valleys, pipe boots, attic ventilation, and decking, not just visible damage.

Storm damage is a common roofing concern in Reading and Berks County. The article notes that high winds, hail, and falling tree limbs can leave shingles missing or expose roofing materials. When damage is limited to a small area and surrounding shingles remain secure, targeted roof repair may provide sufficient protection.

The HelloNation article explains that widespread storm damage can look different. Shingles that repeatedly lift during windstorms, crack during handling, or become brittle may indicate aging materials. When deterioration affects larger portions of the roofing system, roof replacement may offer a more dependable solution than repeated repairs.

Granule loss is another warning sign the article discusses. Asphalt shingles naturally lose some granules over time, but excessive buildup in gutters can indicate advanced wear. As shingles lose their protective surface, they become more vulnerable to moisture, ultraviolet exposure, and further deterioration.

The article also identifies curling edges, cracked shingles, faded surfaces, and bald spots as signs of aging materials. Isolated problems may still be repairable, while widespread wear can indicate that the roofing system is approaching the end of its expected service life.

Roof age is another important consideration when comparing roof repair vs. replacement. According to the article, many asphalt shingle roofs last approximately 20 to 25 years. Actual lifespan can vary based on installation quality, ventilation, maintenance, and exposure to local weather conditions.

Interior warning signs can also reveal problems that are difficult to see from outside. Water stains on ceilings or walls may result from flashing failures, damaged pipe boots, or minor shingle damage. The article explains that repeated leaks in multiple rooms can point to broader roofing system failure.

Roofing Restoration Expert Travis Frees is also featured in the article's discussion of problems beneath the roof surface. Poor attic ventilation can trap heat and moisture, contributing to warped decking, mold growth, and premature shingle deterioration. The article notes that a thorough inspection should evaluate attic conditions, ventilation, drainage patterns, and flashing details.

For older roofs, repeated repairs may temporarily address leaks while deterioration continues elsewhere. The article explains that homeowners should receive guidance based on the roof's actual condition. Recommend proper repairs when they can realistically solve the problem, while widespread deterioration or recurring leaks may make replacement more practical.

The article concludes that homeowners in Reading and Berks County should watch for missing shingles, granule loss, water stains, storm damage, and attic ventilation problems. A professional inspection can help determine whether repairs are sufficient or replacement offers the more practical long-term approach.

In the news release, Cadbury Brings Together Style and Generosity with "There's Magic in More", issued 10-Sep-2026 by The Hershey Company over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

Cadbury Brings Together Style and Generosity with "There's Magic in More"

The new campaign steps out in style with LUAR, New York-based fashion brand, proving that chocolate is even better when there's more to share

HERSHEY, Pa., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadbury believes life's most memorable moments often begin with a little extra thought, generosity and chocolate. To celebrate the launch of its new "There's Magic in More" campaign, Cadbury is bringing that belief to New York Fashion Week through a collaboration with fashion designer LUAR, debuting a crystal-covered clutch designed to hold and share Cadbury XL Bars. The limited-edition accessory offers a delightfully unexpected first look at the brand's largest U.S. campaign to date, a multi-year platform inspired by the idea that a little more thought, generosity and chocolate can transform everyday moments into something magical.

The Cadbury Clutch: A Sparkling Take on Generosity

Dressed in the brand's unmistakable jewel-tone purple, the Cadbury Clutch sparkles with gold accents and individually applied Swarovski crystals. Its crystal-covered flap took approximately eight hours to complete, while a concealed platinum-silver insulated interior helps keep Cadbury chocolate cool and ready for an unexpected moment of generosity. Only five clutches have been created, making each one a rare little reminder that sharing chocolate can be every bit as glamorous as it is delicious.

LUAR QUOTE: "Cadbury's focus on quality, detail and generosity mirrors my work," said Raul Lopez, Founder and Creative Director of LUAR. "From the silhouette and color to the hand-applied crystals, every element feels intentional and true to both brands. It is bold and beautifully crafted, but designed to be opened and shared."

Celebrating the Magic in More

The clutch is just the beginning. Through "There's Magic in More," Cadbury is celebrating the delightful difference a little extra can make. A little more thought. A little more generosity. And, naturally, a little more chocolate. For generations, Cadbury has been known for bringing a little more to every bite, from its signature creamy chocolate to generous ingredients crafted for sharing. "There's Magic in More" builds on that heritage, celebrating the idea that the same spirit of generosity found in Cadbury chocolate can inspire meaningful connections every day. Watch the 30-second Department of More hero film HERE.

Consumers will meet the wonderfully dedicated people behind every creamy bite through cinematic storytelling, social experiences and unexpected cultural moments – from ingredient specialists and chocolate makers to those entrusted with the very important responsibility of taste-testing. Together, their stories show how the brand's care, craft and generous spirit can turn an ordinary moment into something magical. The first chapter of "There's Magic in More" invites consumers into the Department of More, a world where thoughtful gestures, generous spirits and a shared piece of chocolate can spark something unexpectedly magical.

A Little More to Discover

Throughout New York Fashion Week, the Cadbury Clutch will travel from the runway to some of the city's most stylish moments, bringing a bit of Cadbury magic along with it. Cadbury, NYLON and LUAR are inviting fashion fans and chocolate lovers, alike, to discover how generosity can show up in unexpected places.

- See it on the runway: The Cadbury Clutch will make its runway debut at LUAR's Spring/Summer 2027 New York Fashion Week show on September 14. Cadbury CARAMELLO XL Bars will lead the New York Fashion Week activation, alongside DAIRY MILK XL, DAIRY MILK Fruit & Nut XL, CARAMELLO Sweetly Dark XL and CARAMELLO Miniatures. 

- Spot it throughout Fashion Week: NYLON Editor-in-Chief Lauren McCarthy and content creator Tefi Pessoa will carry the Cadbury Clutch to the LUAR show, NYLON Nights and across New York throughout New York Fashion Week. 

- Pay it forward: Through the Cadbury and NYLON Pay It Forward Sweepstakes, consumers can shine a spotlight on someone who gives a little more and share the story of how they brighten others' lives. Two selected nominees will each receive a custom LUAR-designed Cadbury Clutch, with matching clutches awarded to the people who nominated them — celebrating both the inspiring individuals and the people who make sure their stories are recognized. Enter on September 15 here.

"At Cadbury, we believe the most memorable moments begin with a simple act of generosity, whether that's sharing a piece of chocolate or going the extra mile for someone else," said Eric Newton, Director, Premium Chocolate at The Hershey Company. "The Cadbury Clutch brings that belief to life in a delightfully unexpected way, combining beautiful craftsmanship, delicious chocolate and an irresistible invitation to open it up and share."

Equity Insider News Commentary

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The most expensive commodity story in America right now is the one that moves everything else. On September 4, 2026 the national average price of diesel reached an all-time high of $5.85 a gallon, according to AAA, surpassing the record set in June 2022. Three days later it went higher still, to $5.9015. A year ago the same gallon cost $3.71. On the eve of the war with Iran it cost $3.76. Six months of disrupted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and crude in the $90 range have added more than two dollars to the price of the fuel that runs freight, agriculture, construction and, less visibly, a very large share of the country's backup and off-grid electricity.

Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD), Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT), and United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI).

The market absorbing that increase is larger than most people assume. MarketsandMarkets sizes the global diesel generator market at approximately US$19.26 billion in 2026, projecting roughly US$25.61 billion by 2031 at a compound annual growth rate of about 5.9%, in a report summary published August 21, 2026. Grand View Research, measuring the category differently, puts it at about US$21.2 billion in 2026. Those figures describe equipment sales. They do not describe what it costs to run the equipment, and that is where the current dislocation lands.

Industry estimates commonly place fuel at 70% to 80% of the total lifetime operating cost of a diesel generator. If that holds even approximately, the purchase price of a generator is close to a rounding error against what its owner spends feeding it over a working life, and the line item that dominates the economics has risen by more than half in twelve months. For a business running a generator continuously rather than occasionally, that is not a procurement question. It is a margin question.

The reason the increase bites so hard is a matter of how a conventional generator works rather than how well it works. A genset supplies load directly, which means it runs whenever power is required, at whatever load is present. Running at partial load is materially less efficient than running near rated capacity, and idle capacity still burns fuel. A machine sized for a peak that occurs twice a day spends most of its hours consuming diesel to produce electricity nobody is drawing.

The sector's own research points at where the response is going. In the same August analysis, MarketsandMarkets identifies peak shaving as the fastest-growing application segment in the diesel generator market at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 6.5%, and describes the category as evolving toward hybrid-ready systems that integrate battery storage and energy management in order to optimize fuel use. In other words, the fastest-growing thing you can do with a diesel generator, according to the people who count the market, is run it less.

That is the structural opening. Pairing storage with generation changes the generator's job from supplying load to recharging a battery, which lets it run in efficient bursts rather than continuously at partial load. The idea is not new. What is new is a fuel price that makes the arithmetic urgent, and a class of storage that can be moved to wherever the arithmetic is worst.

NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD) Positions Mobile Battery Storage Against a Record Diesel Price

- Operates mobile, utility-grade, truck-transportable battery energy storage systems deployed on semi-trailers.

- Serves utilities, industrial operators, government agencies and critical infrastructure providers through equipment sales, rentals and Energy-as-a-Service arrangements.

- Describes a configuration pairing a mobile battery system with a diesel generator, designed so the generator runs intermittently to recharge the battery rather than continuously to supply load.

- The Company describes that configuration as targeting a reduction in diesel consumption of approximately 75% against a standalone generator. This is a stated design target, not a reported operating result.

- Holds, through its subsidiary NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc., an issued United States patent covering utility-scale lithium-ion battery transporters, with a continuation application pending on the same subject matter.

NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD) is an energy infrastructure equipment and services platform headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The Company introduced a mobile, utility-grade, truck-transportable battery energy storage system, and its platforms are deployed on semi-trailers and delivered to customers through equipment sales, rentals and Energy-as-a-Service offerings. It reached its current form in July 2026, when LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. completed a merger with NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc. and adopted the NOMAD Power Solutions name; shares ceased trading under LIXT on July 2, 2026 and began trading under NMAD on July 6, 2026, as set out in the Company's announcement of the completed name change.

The transaction expanded the Company's operations and strategic focus into energy infrastructure, which is now its primary focus. It does not represent a complete departure from the Company's biotechnology roots; the legacy oncology and medical technology assets continue to be maintained and advanced while the Company evaluates strategic opportunities for that portfolio.

Against the diesel backdrop, the relevant part of the platform is the duty cycle. The Company describes a configuration in which a mobile battery energy storage system is paired with a diesel generator so that the generator no longer supplies load directly. Instead it runs intermittently, in efficient bursts, to recharge the battery, and the battery carries the load between those bursts. The Company describes this arrangement as targeting a reduction in diesel consumption of roughly 75% relative to a standalone generator running continuously.

That figure is the Company's stated target rather than a disclosed operating result, and readers should treat it accordingly. What can be evaluated independently is the direction of the logic. If fuel is 70% to 80% of lifetime operating cost, and the fuel price has risen from $3.76 to $5.90 a gallon since the war began, then any change to a generator's run hours moves a very large number. A machine that ran twenty hours a day to serve an intermittent load is a different financial proposition from one that runs five to recharge storage, at any diesel price, and a considerably different one at this diesel price.

The second element is mobility, and it deserves a more careful description than it is usually given. Fixed, grid-tied battery installations typically require interconnection studies and utility approvals, a queue that is among the most cited bottlenecks in energy storage deployment. A transportable unit does not sit in that queue in the same way, which is a real advantage in speed and in the ability to redeploy an asset to wherever the economics are most favorable. It does not follow that mobility eliminates permitting altogether. Site, transport, fire, environmental and utility operating requirements still apply, and any connection into a distribution network still requires an approved interconnection arrangement. The honest version of the claim is that mobile deployment avoids the fixed-installation interconnection queue, not that it removes regulatory process.

The Company's subsidiary, NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc., is the assignee of record of United States patent number 12,391,084, granted August 19, 2025, covering transporters for utility-scale lithium-ion batteries, with a continuation application pending on the same subject matter. Patent records are public through the USPTO. The scope of those claims, and any conclusion about exclusivity in mobile storage, is a legal question that patent numbers alone do not answer.

The customer set the Company identifies for mobile storage is the same set most exposed to the diesel price: construction and infrastructure sites without grid access, telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, oil and gas and mining operations, ports and logistics facilities, and utility storm and outage response. Each of those absorbs fuel cost directly into operations today. The Company was added to the Russell Microcap Index in June 2026.

There are several risks associated with the Company's plans.

NOMAD Power Solutions is a small-capitalization company that reached its present form through a July 2026 merger, and its operating history in energy infrastructure is correspondingly short. The merger consideration included preferred stock convertible into approximately 50,366,070 common shares subject to stockholder approval, which represents substantial potential dilution to existing holders and is disclosed in the Company's filings. The approximately 75% diesel reduction described in this article is the Company's stated design target for a generator-and-storage configuration, not a reported operating result or an independently verified test outcome, and actual savings would depend on load profile, duty cycle, unit sizing, site conditions and utilization. Mobility reduces exposure to the fixed-installation interconnection queue but does not eliminate permitting, transport, fire, environmental or utility operating requirements. Deploying a fleet of storage assets is capital intensive and would require financing that has not been secured. The Company competes for the same customers as manufacturers and rental operators many multiples its size, several of which are named in this article and several of which are themselves developing hybrid and storage-integrated offerings.

The Article Explains Battery Labels, Local Drop-Off Options, and Handling Precautions to Help Largo Households Choose Appropriate Disposal Methods.

LARGO, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Where can Largo residents safely dispose of used batteries? HelloNation has published an article that answers this question with guidance on safe battery disposal and local collection options.

The article explains that a battery's chemistry and condition determine its disposal route, not its shape or size. Pinellas County's 2026 Recycle Guide allows batteries labeled alkaline in household trash, but no batteries belong in mixed recycling. Rechargeable batteries, lithium batteries, and some button batteries require separate collection.

For accepted household batteries, the article identifies two county collection locations that serve Largo residents. The Household Hazardous Waste Center is at 2855 109th Avenue N. in St. Petersburg, and HHW North is at 29582 U.S. 19 N. in Clearwater. Both follow specific schedules, so residents should check the county's current calendar before traveling.

The article notes that the household program is free for Pinellas County households and requires government-issued identification for residency verification. Acceptance rules and quantity limits still apply, while business waste follows a different process. Large battery packs, unusual batteries, and multiple devices warrant checking accepted-items guidance before loading the car.

Safe battery disposal also includes looking for batteries inside unwanted products, the article explains. Cordless tools, wireless headphones, electric toothbrushes, rechargeable toys, and power banks can contain batteries that need special handling. When a battery cannot be removed, county guidance calls for taking the entire item to an appropriate drop-off location.

The article describes the county's online disposal search tool as a resource for finding collection options near home. Residents can search for loose batteries or specific battery-powered items. This helps households choose a destination without assuming every collection site accepts the same materials.

For undamaged lithium-ion batteries, the article summarizes U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance on isolating battery terminals. Covering terminals with nonconductive tape or placing each battery in a separate plastic bag helps prevent contact with metal and other batteries. A battery that no longer operates a device may still retain enough energy to cause injury or fire.

Damaged batteries need a different response, the article notes. Unusual heat, odors, popping sounds, and changes in shape or color are warning signs identified by Largo Fire Rescue. Residents should stop using affected devices and seek handling instructions from the manufacturer or a hazardous waste facility.

The article advises against putting a damaged battery into an ordinary collection box without guidance. If a battery is smoking or burning, move away and call 911. Identifying the battery, confirming its destination, and preparing it correctly are the article's central steps for safe battery disposal.

The article connects those habits with protecting local waste collection workers. Proper sorting keeps hazardous batteries away from equipment designed for ordinary trash and recyclables while supporting material recovery.

A Largo Resident's Guide to Safe Battery Disposal appears in HelloNation, outlining local collection options and precautions for handling used batteries.
