TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Transflo has been named a 2026 "Top Company for Women to Work in Trucking" by Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT).

In HelloNation, Funeral Home &amp; Cremation Expert Brad Rea Outlines Veteran Funeral and Burial Options
Image File
Original HTML

SEDALIA, Mo., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What do families need to know when planning a veteran funeral?

A HelloNation article featuring Funeral Home and Cremation Expert Brad Rea of Rea Funeral Home in Sedalia, MO, offers a clear and compassionate guide for families looking to honor a veteran's service with dignity. From military honors to burial options, the article walks through the choices available and the steps needed to access them.

Veteran funeral benefits exist to recognize the sacrifice and commitment of those who served. However, as the article explains, many families are unaware of the full range of support available or how to begin the process. Understanding options ahead of time can ease stress and ensure each detail reflects the veteran's life and service.

One of the most meaningful components of a veteran funeral is the presentation of the American flag. Folded and presented to the family, it symbolizes the nation's gratitude. In addition, military honors may include the playing of Taps and a ceremonial flag presentation by uniformed service members. These honors, offered based on eligibility, provide a solemn and respectful way to say goodbye.

The article also highlights the option of burial in a national cemetery. These cemeteries offer a dignified final resting place for eligible veterans and, in many cases, their spouses or dependents. Maintained by the government as places of remembrance, national cemetery interment is among the most recognized burial options for military families.

Families may also consider private or state cemeteries. In these cases, military honors can still be provided, along with other veteran funeral benefits. The decision often depends on location, family preference, and eligibility. Each option comes with unique considerations, but all are rooted in respect.

The article emphasizes that these benefits are not automatic. Paperwork and service verification are required, and the process can feel complex when emotions are high. Funeral professionals assist families with completing documentation and coordinating with military authorities. This support helps ensure timely access to available burial allowances and honors.

Burial allowances are another benefit that may help offset funeral costs. Eligibility for these financial supports varies, but understanding them in advance can help families plan with more confidence. In addition to burial allowances, veterans may qualify for government-provided headstones or markers, regardless of where they are laid to rest.

Military honors are available for both cremation and traditional burials, allowing flexibility for families to choose arrangements that reflect their values and traditions. The inclusion of photos, personal stories, or favorite music can complement military traditions and help paint a complete picture of the veteran's life beyond service.

The article notes that planning a veteran funeral doesn't need to be rushed or overwhelming. Starting with a conversation and receiving step-by-step guidance helps families move forward with clarity. Support from professionals allows families to focus on remembrance, not paperwork.

The article, Veteran Funeral and Burial Options: A Guide for Families, features insights from Brad Rea, Funeral Home and Cremation Expert of Sedalia, MO, in HelloNation.

Glo by Lantern Debuts at Staffing World as the First AI-Native Platform Built for Staffing and Recruiting
Image File
Original HTML

Your ATS tells you what happened. Glo tells you what's next.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lantern today announced the debut of Glo, the first AI-native solution built for both staffing and recruiting. Glo is on display at the American Staffing Association's Staffing World in Denver, CO, (October 12-14), Booth 314.

Staffing firms have spent years paying for software that records what already happened: a candidate applied, a job closed, a note got typed. Glo is built to operate the business. It observes signals across candidates, jobs, clients, contracts, compliance and revenue. Then, it reasons around urgency and business impact, ranks the work that matters most, and then helps get it done.

"Traditional staffing software is a filing cabinet with a login screen," said Peter Tomassi, CEO of Glo. "It waits for you to tell it what happened. Glo works the other way around: it evaluates the whole operating picture and tells a recruiter where the next hour is best spent. Faster fills are the result. The mechanism is really knowing what matters right now."

One platform, three connected experiences

Glo replaces the traditional ATS, staffing CRM, client portal, candidate portal and disconnected recruiting tools with a single AI-native platform:

- The Desk gives recruiters a ranked queue of highest-impact actions, with revenue at risk, deadlines and blockers in view, instead of a to-do list built from tabs and memory.

- Client Room gives clients one place to review candidates, share feedback, track open jobs and placements, and keep decisions moving.

- Candidate Room gives candidates a clear next step, their profile, applications, documents and onboarding progress, so they are participants in the process instead of records in a database.

For a more in-depth runthrough, interact with Glo's digital brochure.

Meet Luci: Glo's intelligence

Luci runs through the workflow: signal, reasoning, priority, action, outcome. It surfaces what is slipping so managers can lead by exception, and it supports automation with human review built in for consequential actions.

"Recruiters didn't get into this business to be data entry clerks," Tomassi added. "They got into it to place people and keep clients happy. We built Luci to clear the path for that."

For a more in-depth look at Glo (and to say hello to Luci), see Glo's digital brochure.

See it at ASA's Staffing World

Attendees can see Glo in action at Booth 314. Organizations can also book a demo at helloglo.com/book-a-demo/.

myFirst Unveils Insta magiCam, Insta magiBox, and CareSip, Leading a New Lineup Designed for Growing Minds

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Childhood is full of moments that spark curiosity, imagination, and growing independence. With "The Magic Begins," myFirst introduces its latest product lineup, led by three new innovations: Insta magiCam, a thermal-print camera that turns curiosity into discovery and creativity; Insta magiBox, a creative printer that transforms spoken ideas into printable images and stories; and CareSip, a fingerprint-lock water bottle that supports independence through everyday protection. The launch also expands myFirst's portfolio of connected, creative, and kid-friendly devices for different stages of childhood.

Insta magiCam: When "What's that?" can become a whole new adventure

Insta magiCam is a thermal-print camera that turns children's curiosity into discovery and creativity.

With Snap and Discover, children can explore what they photograph through different perspectives, from science to storytelling and humour. Snap and Ask encourages follow-up questions, turning "What's that?" into a journey of discovery.

Magic Styles lets children reimagine their photos, while Voice-to-Image turns spoken ideas into creations. Built-in thermal printing brings everything off the screen for children to hold, color, decorate and share.

Insta magiBox: When a big imagination needs help bringing the story to life

Children imagine vivid characters and adventures long before they can fully express them through writing or drawing. Insta magiBox helps make those imaginations visible. Voice-to-Image turns spoken ideas into illustrations in different art styles, while Voice-to-Story creates connected four-scene illustrated stories. With ink-free thermal printing, children can hold, color, decorate, and share their creations, taking their imaginations beyond the screen.

CareSip: When growing independence still needs everyday protection

CareSip brings the water bottle into the future of safety and hydration. Its fingerprint-controlled lock secures the entire lid, allowing access for up to 20 approved users. When drinks reach 133°F or above, CareSip can remain locked until a parent approves access. Parents can also manage access through the myFirst Circle app, providing protection without limiting independence.

Expanding the myFirst experience for every stage of childhood

This launch expands the myFirst portfolio, giving families more ways to introduce technology through experiences designed for different stages of childhood.

Fone M2 is a 4G smartwatch offering parent-approved communication, location tracking, SOS and Class Mode, providing a simpler starting point for a child's first connected experience.

Watch F1 focuses on well-being, tracking physical activity, heart rate, and sleep while giving parents visibility through the app. Its lightweight design, long battery life, and IP68 water resistance make it easy to wear daily.

Camera Play and Camera Play Plus bring photography, Full HD video, music, stories, drawing, and play together in an ad-free, enclosed environment, giving younger children a creative digital space without access to the wider internet.

ViewTalkie adds video to the classic walkie-talkie experience, letting children see and talk to each other during nearby play without a smartphone.

Technology that starts with childhood, not the device

The common thread across "The Magic Begins" is not simply adding more technology to children's lives. It starts with how children naturally discover, create, and grow, using technology to enrich those experiences. From encouraging curiosity and imagination to supporting growing independence, technology is there to support childhood, not define it.

About myFirst

Founded in 2017, myFirst creates kid-friendly technology that encourages children's independence, creativity and safe digital exploration. Operating in over 36 countries, its connected ecosystem spans smartwatches, cameras, audio devices and creative tools.

Collective X Health Launches With a $3.2 Million Pre-Seed Round to Close the Women's Health Data Gap
Image File
Original HTML

Co-founded by Dr. Stacy Sims, the B2B platform powers smart health and performance brands with research-backed insights built on female physiology. It is live today with founding customers Human Powered Health and Altra Running.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Collective X Health (CX), a women's health and performance intelligence platform, announced today it has emerged from stealth with a $3.2 million oversubscribed pre-seed, co-led by Council Capital and Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund, with participation from SoGal Ventures, Emerson Collective, Muse Capital, and Segal Ventures. Founding customers are licensing CX's women's health intelligence via API to power accurate health, performance, and recovery insights all built on bias-corrected female research and data.

Why CX Was Built

Women weren't required in NIH-funded clinical trials until 1993, and the AI models now trained on that research default to male data, leading to misdiagnosis, ineffective care, and advice that doesn't fit women's bodies. Companies adding cycle tracking, hormonal insights, and AI-assisted care lack a trusted source of women's health evidence to build on, and leading AI models failed 60% of questions on a recent women's health benchmarks.

"Women have been systematically excluded from health research, with generational consequences," said Dr. Stacy Sims, Ms and PhD and Co-Founder and Chief Research Officer of CX. "We pair vetted academic research with commercial scale, so companies, clinicians, and health and performance products can finally build on data designed for and from female bodies."

What CX Does

CX turns peer-reviewed research and female-specific data into a structured, auditable intelligence layer that is licensed through an API. Unlike general-purpose AI, CX cites its sources every time, ensuring that every single insight is research-backed. CX can serve as a product's entire women's health database or validate an existing one.

"Women's health isn't a niche market. It's half the population, yet less than 9% of NIH funding reflects that," said Lindsey Abramo, Co-Founder and CEO. "Every company claiming to serve women should be able to show the research behind that claim."

"Collective X's edge isn't a smarter model. It's a smarter foundation underneath the model," said Elizabeth Davis, Partner, Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund. "Instead of every wearable and health platform trying to solve the same research problem on its own, CX gives the entire women's health ecosystem an evidence layer to build on."

Where CX Stands Today

CX's scientific backbone is its Research Lead Collective, a group headed up by Dr. Stacy Sims and more than 20 globally recognized MDs and PhDs who hand vet CX's research base and intelligence. Research Leads are also eligible for a growing grant program, launched with a $200,000 commitment from human performance company Momentous to help close the gender data gap in sports science and drive new research in women's health.

CX has research and data partnerships with academic journals, Open Medicine Foundation, WildAI, and Eternal, a pipeline of more than 50 prospective partners.

Original HTML

Compact and built for difficult terrain and tough-to-reach areas.

The TFX 766 i has earned three industry awards.

GREENBUSH, Minn., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Altoz, a leading manufacturer of innovative outdoor power equipment, announced that the TFX 766 i Tracked Zero Turn Mower has earned three major industry honors: a Landscape Business Twenty for 2026 New Product Award, a Pro Tool Innovation Award in the Riding/Zero Turn Lawn Mowers category and a Green Industry Pros 2026 Editor's Choice Award in the Mowing & Maintenance category. With its compact body style, high-visibility accents, and rugged tracked design, the TFX 766 i is built to deliver low ground pressure and high traction while tackling demanding terrain. From soft terrain and slopes to solar fields, ditch banks, road rights-of-way, retention ponds, municipal properties, and utility sites, the TFX dominates where performance and safety matter most.

The Landscape Business Twenty Awards recognize innovative new products serving the commercial landscape and irrigation markets. The Pro Tool Innovation Awards honor tools and equipment that demonstrate advancements in design, technology, and performance. The Green Industry Pros Editor's Choice Awards recognize products, equipment, and tools designed or enhanced to help landscape professionals save time, money, and labor while working smarter.

"To have the TFX recognized by three respected industry leaders means a lot to our team," said Karl Bjorkman, Vice President of Sales and Revenue for Altoz. "We built this mower for those people working in demanding environments where ordinary zero turns fall short. Whether navigating tight spaces, uneven ground, or long days on the job, the TFX is built to perform. Seeing our engineering and product development team's hard work recognized by industry leaders is especially rewarding."

At the heart of the TFX 766 i are the All-Terrain TerraFlex® tracks that provide traction and stability while minimizing ground compaction and turf disturbance. Combined with torsion axle rear suspension, the system delivers a smoother, controlled ride across challenging terrain.

Altoz's industry-first Tri-Axis™ front suspension features an adjustable coil spring-over-oil shock with three independent pivot points on each side. The system allows the front wheels to move independently over uneven terrain while helping keep the deck and operator level and in control.

The TFX is powered by a 38.5 HP Kawasaki® FX EFI engine paired with Hydro-Gear® ZT-5400 high/low range transmissions, giving operators the power and control needed for demanding commercial applications.

Additional features include:

- Industry-first 66" All-Terrain cutting deck with swing blades; optional Deck Wing Extension expands cutting width to 82"

- Counter-rotating right-hand deck spindle for efficient material processing

- 14-gallon fuel capacity for extended run times

- 12-way adjustable high-back seat for operator comfort

- Flat-free front tires for worry-free operation

The TFX 766 i will be on display and available for live demonstrations at Equip Exposition in Louisville, KY, October 21–23. Visit Altoz at Booth #11100 to experience the machine firsthand.
