FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What happens during a vestibular evaluation, and how does it help adults experiencing dizziness or unsteadiness? A HelloNation article offers a detailed explanation of what patients can expect during balance testing, and how this process helps identify inner ear issues that affect stability.

Dr. Elizabeth Welch, Audiologist

The article explains that the vestibular system, located in the inner ear, is responsible for helping the brain interpret movement and position. When this system is not working correctly, adults may feel dizzy, off-balance, or even nauseated. Vestibular evaluations are designed to examine how well this system functions and to uncover the source of balance-related problems. According to the article, understanding this process in advance helps reduce anxiety and improves the overall experience for patients.

The HelloNation article outlines the steps of a typical vestibular evaluation. It begins with a medical history review to look for past injuries, medications, or conditions that could contribute to dizziness. A hearing assessment is often included, since hearing loss and balance problems can be closely related. Testing may include tracking eye movements with cameras, standing on specialized platforms, or performing head movements while clinicians monitor the body's response. These methods help evaluate how the brain coordinates sensory input from the ears, eyes, and muscles to maintain balance.

adults can access vestibular evaluations at audiology clinics, ENT offices, and balance-focused facilities. The article notes that these tests are safe, noninvasive, and usually completed in less than an hour. For more complex balance concerns, multiple sessions may be scheduled. The article emphasizes that while some people worry the testing might trigger dizziness, clinicians are trained to minimize discomfort and guide patients through the process with care.

The article also highlights who can benefit most from a vestibular evaluation. Adults experiencing regular dizziness, unexplained falls, vertigo, or motion sensitivity are encouraged to seek testing. It is also recommended for those recovering from head injuries, inner ear infections, or periods of prolonged imbalance. The results of balance testing guide treatment strategies, which may include vestibular therapy, balance exercises, hearing aids, or medical treatment for inner ear disorders.

One of the key messages in the article is that understanding the evaluation process builds patient confidence. Most clinics provide step-by-step explanations and clearly communicate what sensations to expect during testing. Afterward, patients typically receive a written report summarizing findings and outlining practical next steps. The article explains that this empowers adults to make informed decisions about care and take action to reduce the risk of future falls or injury.

The HelloNation article emphasizes that early balance testing plays a crucial role in maintaining independence and physical safety. By establishing a baseline, clinicians can track progress over time and adjust treatments as needed. Combining professional guidance with lifestyle changes—such as practicing balance exercises, staying physically active, and reducing stress—leads to better outcomes for many adults.

For adults in Franklin, TN, the article presents vestibular evaluations as a reliable and accessible way to gain clarity on dizziness and balance concerns. By participating in the process and following through on recommendations, individuals can take meaningful steps to improve stability and enhance their quality of life.

What to Expect During a Balance or Vestibular Evaluation features insights from Dr. Elizabeth Welch, Audiology Expert of Franklin, TN, in HelloNation.

Lucid Bots Launches Power Tether, the Cleaning Drone Industry's First Ground-Powered Continuous Flight System

The launch comes as Lucid Bots' connected fleet surpasses 8,760 cumulative flight hours — the equivalent of a full year in the air

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Bots has announced the Power Tether, making it the first company to bring a ground-powered continuous-power system to commercial cleaning and spraying drones. The system supplies continuous external power to the Sherpa drone, reducing planned battery-change interruptions during longer cleaning and spraying operations. The announcement comes as Lucid Bots operators have recently recorded more than 8,760 cumulative flight hours; the equivalent of more than one full calendar year in the air.

Lucid Bots Sherpa Drone spraying windows at height with the power tether

Measured through telemetry data as of August 17, the milestone aggregates airborne time across 600+ Sherpa drones. It represents cumulative activity across the network, not a single continuous flight and not exclusively Power Tether-powered flight.

Conventional battery operations require the drone to land periodically so crews can swap packs, relaunch and reacquire position. The Power Tether shifts the primary power source to the ground: its air module mounts in the Sherpa drone's battery bay, while a ground station connects to a compatible generator. The result is a longer, steadier work session with fewer planned interruptions and less need to schedule the job around battery cycles.

Adoption data reflects the shift. Among customers who have logged more than an hour on the Power Tether, more than 90% of their flight time now runs on tether power, with batteries used for the remaining 10%. That split is a signal that once crews have the system on hand, they default to it for the bulk of the job.

"Those hours belong to our customers. A year in the air is a year of everyday businesses generating revenue and doing dangerous work faster and more safely," said Andrew Ashur, Founder and CEO of Lucid Bots. "Too much of robotics has lived in the promise of headlines. This is customers on job sites building real companies and creating real value. The Power Tether also ends the old battery debate that has dominated our industry. Once customers try it, the data shows they don't go back to swapping packs. Crews stay focused on the building instead of the battery clock."

— Andrew Ashur, Founder and CEO of Lucid Bots

The Power Tether installs in less than 15 minutes on compatible Sherpa drone systems. Firmware monitors power draw in real time and alerts operators as they approach operating limits. If generator power is lost, onboard battery backup supports the system's automatic landing sequence.

In a continuous-flight test at Lucid Bots headquarters, a Power Tether-equipped Sherpa drone remained airborne for eight hours and 48 seconds on one generator connection with no battery swaps.

The Power Tether is designed for commercial building-maintenance work where longer flight sessions help crews maintain job momentum, including exterior facade, window, hotel, institutional and distribution-center applications.

Product specifications, operating requirements and purchasing information are available at lucidbots.com/products/power-tether.

Lucid Bots is a Charlotte, NC-based drone hardware company and the manufacturer of the Sherpa Drone, a purpose-built platform for exterior cleaning and protection applications. Backed by Y Combinator and $34 million in funding, Lucid Bots serves a network of 400+ operators across more than 40 states and three continents.

Former Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Cyber Command Joins Qtonic Quantum to Lead Federal and Defense Government Affairs

Col. Reginald M. Harris, U.S. Army (Ret.) brings 33 years of Army service, from enlisted soldier to battalion command in the Cyber Protection Brigade to the senior staff of ARCYBER and U.S. Central Command

MIAMI, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Col. Reginald M. Harris, U.S. Army (Retired), who served as Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Cyber Command and commanded the 1st Cyber Protection Battalion (Provisional), has joined Qtonic Quantum Corp to lead the company's federal and defense government affairs.

Harris will represent Qtonic Quantum, a quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence firm serving enterprise and federal environments, to the Department of War and its military departments and combatant commands, the Department of Homeland Security, the Intelligence Community, other federal departments and agencies, and the defense industrial base and systems integrators that serve them.

He arrives against a fixed clock. The Department of War Post-Quantum Cryptography Strategy, released in June 2026, requires high-impact and national security systems to support quantum-resistant algorithms by December 31, 2030 and the force to use them by December 31, 2031, unless otherwise noted, with non-compliant systems phased out. Executive Order 14412, signed June 22, 2026, directs CISA and NIST to publish minimum elements for a cryptographic bill of materials that enable automated assessment of cryptographic assets, and directs the FAR Council to propose a rule binding covered contractors to post-quantum standards. Neither deadline can be met by an organization that cannot first count the cryptography it runs.

"A program office cannot buy its way out of a cryptographic problem it has not measured, and the people who understand that best are the ones who have sat in the seat and been asked for the answer," said Lt. Gen. Roger L. Cloutier Jr., U.S. Army (Retired), Founding Chair of the Qtonic Quantum Allied Defense Council and former Commander of NATO Allied Land Command. "Reggie ran the staff of the Army's cyber command. He knows what these organizations actually have, how they actually buy, and how long the distance runs between a policy deadline and a fielded capability. That is the right person for this work."

Harris enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1992 as a food service specialist and was commissioned as a Distinguished Military Graduate of Elizabeth City State University in 1996. He served first as a Field Artillery officer, including battery command in Germany and fire support duty with 1st Armored Division, then as an Information Systems officer. In that second career he was Enterprise Services Division Chief for XVIII Airborne Corps G6, detachment chief of a cyber protection team in the Army Cyber Protection Brigade, battalion commander of the 1st Cyber Protection Battalion (Provisional), and Deputy Chief of the Enterprise Integration Division at Headquarters Department of the Army CIO/G-6 in the Pentagon. He served with U.S. Central Command as J6 Engineer Division Chief and Deputy J6 and finished that tour as Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. He became Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Cyber Command in July 2022 and retired in September 2025.

His decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with one silver and one bronze oak leaf cluster, the Combat Action Badge, and the Iraq Campaign Medal with four campaign stars. He holds a master's degree in Information Technology Management from Webster University and a master's degree in National Resource Strategy from National Defense University, and he is a graduate of the Eisenhower School.

"I spent thirty-three years responsible for networks that other people's lives depended on, and the hardest part was never the fix," said Harris. "It was knowing what you had. Cryptographic inventory at mission scale is that same problem, and the deadline for solving it is already on the calendar. I joined this company because it produces evidence a skeptical program manager can check rather than an assertion he has to accept."

Harris joins a Qtonic Quantum federal effort that includes QHunt, launched in August 2026 at AFCEA TechNet Augusta, which carries the company's cryptographic discovery work into operational technology and mission environments under a published non-destructive engagement policy and produces a cryptographic bill of materials in CycloneDX 1.7, signed under FIPS 204.

Qtonic Quantum Corp is a SAM.gov registered federal contractor, UEI FRYFAD3GW5W5, CAGE Code 14E99, NAICS 541512 and 541519.

About Qtonic Quantum Corp

Qtonic Quantum Corp is a quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence firm serving enterprise and federal environments. The company helps security leaders, program owners, and boards find cryptographic exposure, prove material risk, and fix it continuously through QScout, QStrike, QSolve, and QHunt. Qtonic Quantum is vendor-neutral and is not paid by any vendor to promote its solution. The company is headquartered in Miami, Florida. Post-Quantum Ready, Continuously™.

Family Grief Counselor Matt Wallace Explains How Healing Getaways Can Support Grieving Families in HelloNation

The article explains how healing getaways provide grieving families with time and space to reconnect after child loss.

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What can help grieving families after child loss? A HelloNation article featuring insights from Family Grief Counselor Matt Wallace with Nevaeh's Rae of Hope explains how healing getaways can provide families with meaningful opportunities to reconnect while navigating the lifelong journey of grief.

Matt Wallace - Nevaeh's Rae of Hope

The article explains that the loss of a child changes every part of a family's life. Parents, siblings, and other loved ones often continue managing work, school, and household responsibilities while coping with overwhelming emotions. Although support from family, friends, and counselors remains important, many grieving families also benefit from stepping away from everyday routines to spend uninterrupted time together.

According to the article, healing getaways are not designed to erase grief or replace professional counseling. Instead, they create peaceful settings where grieving families can remember their child, support one another, and take small steps forward at their own pace. The article emphasizes that every family's experience with child loss is different and that healing looks different for everyone.

The article also explains that a change of environment can provide valuable opportunities for reflection. Without the constant demands of schedules, appointments, and household responsibilities, families often find it easier to have meaningful conversations or simply enjoy quiet moments together. These experiences encourage connection without placing expectations on how grief should be expressed.

Simple activities can also become meaningful after a child's loss. According to the article, taking a walk, sharing a meal, or watching the sunset together can help families reconnect in ways that support healing. Rather than focusing on major milestones, the article notes that healing often begins through small moments of peace shared with the people who understand the loss most deeply.

Comfortable Florida accommodations also contribute to these experiences. The article explains that welcoming places to stay provide grieving families with opportunities to rest, reflect, and spend quality time together. Whether surrounded by beaches, quiet neighborhoods, or peaceful natural settings, Florida accommodations create space to step away from daily demands and focus on healing.

The article further highlights the importance of travel support in making healing getaways possible. Assistance with transportation, lodging, and other travel needs can reduce many of the financial and logistical challenges families face during an already difficult time. Reliable travel support allows families to devote more of their energy to supporting one another instead of managing travel details.

Community support is another important part of these experiences. The article explains that donated services, shared resources, and acts of hospitality help make healing getaways more accessible for grieving families. These acts of kindness remind families that they are not alone while easing some of the burdens that often accompany child loss.

The article concludes that healing after child loss is a lifelong journey with no set timeline. Healing getaways, together with dependable travel support and welcoming Florida accommodations, provide grieving families with opportunities to slow down, reconnect, and honor the memories of their child. While grief never fully disappears, the article explains that creating time for rest and togetherness can help families move forward with hope while preserving the bonds that matter most.

How Healing Getaways Can Support Grieving Families features insights from Matt Wallace, Family Grief Counselor of Madison, Wisconsin, in HelloNation.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- South Florida Motorsports (SFM) and Hard Rock International announced today a new multi-year naming rights agreement for the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX, uniting two globally-recognized brands. After becoming a Founding Partner at the inaugural race in 2022, Hard Rock is further strengthening its commitment to one of the world's most iconic events, where sports, entertainment, business and culture come together on an international stage.

South Florida Motorsports and Hard Rock International announced today a new multi-year naming rights agreement for the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX.

Since 2016, Hard Rock, the iconic hospitality and entertainment brand, has held the naming rights to Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins and the centerpiece of the Miami International Autodrome. The venue features the Team Village, expanded paddock and one of the most distinctive fan atmospheres in Formula 1. This new agreement builds on Hard Rock's long-term commitment to the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX, which is contracted to remain on the Formula 1 calendar through 2041.

"Hard Rock has been part of Miami's Formula 1 story from the very beginning, and we are incredibly proud to welcome them as the new title partner of the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX," said Katharina Nowak, President of the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX.

"This partnership marks a new era for our race, as we look to build upon the success of our first five years and continue to evolve alongside one of the most iconic and culturally significant brands in the world in Hard Rock. They have been alongside us in growing Hard Rock Stadium into a global sports and entertainment destination for more than a decade and in establishing our race as one of the defining moments on the Formula 1 calendar. Together, we will seek to set a new standard of what is possible when the best of racing, entertainment and culture converge in Miami, and we could not be more excited for this new chapter together."

The new agreement will see Hard Rock incorporated into the official event title and logo, in addition to extensive branding across the podium, the official Fan Fest and highly visible trackside signage throughout the Miami International Autodrome. Hard Rock will also continue to produce live entertainment at the track, building on its history of introducing audiences to some of the world's largest entertainers from a wide variety of genres each race weekend. The partnership begins with the 2027 race, with a date to be announced soon.

"Hard Rock has been a proud partner of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix since its inception, and it has emerged as one of the premier events on the global sports and entertainment calendar," said Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International. "This partnership reflects Hard Rock's commitment to delivering world-class experiences to international audiences. We look forward to continuing our work with South Florida Motorsports to enhance the race week experience while further elevating the Hard Rock brand on one of the most impressive stages in sports."

The highly sought after Hard Rock Beach Club area has become one of the landmark features of the Miami International Autodrome and is set to undergo an exciting revamp for the 2027 event.
