  • XLEAR CELEBRATES NATIONAL WASH YOUR NOSE DAY 2026: ‘GET NOSEY ABOUT WELLNESS’

    XLEAR CELEBRATES NATIONAL WASH YOUR NOSE DAY 2026: ‘GET NOSEY ABOUT WELLNESS’

    AMERICAN FORK, UT, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — This year, Xlear, Inc., a pioneer in natural sinus and oral care products, is celebrating National Wash Your Nose Day on March 11 by highlighting the often-overlooked hero of personal wellness: the nose. While most wellness advice focuses on handwashing or oral hygiene, the nose is the body’s first line of defense, filtering germs and keeping the system healthy.

    Regular nasal hygiene is an often overlooked part of daily wellness. “Keeping your nose clean is just as important as other hygiene practices such as handwashing and oral care,” said Nate Jones, CEO of Xlear. “We are committed to helping consumers understand the benefits of keeping your nose clean.”

    Daily nasal hygiene helps maintain a healthy nasal environment by clearing irritants such as mucus, bacteria, viruses, and other debris, improving breathing and overall nasal health. This proactive approach is designed to help keep nasal passages clean and moisturized and help reduce the risk of severe upper respiratory issues.

    Xlear Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol has been shown to support the body’s natural defenses and block viruses and bacteria from attaching to nasal tissues while also moisturizing dry and irritated nasal passages. Good nasal hygiene with Xlear opens the airway and supports easier breathing. The convenient 1.5 fl. oz. metered pump spray bottle makes it easy to add to your daily sinus care routine.

    American professional mixed martial artist Michael Chandler, who competes in the UFC, takes nasal wellness as seriously as his training. Chandler makes Xlear part of his daily routine and champions National Wash Your Nose Day, showing that clean nostrils aren’t just a once-a-year ritual. Known for pushing his body to the limit, he carefully chooses products that support his overall health. “I take recovery, performance, and overall health seriously. I’m intentional about what I use daily, and Xlear has become part of my routine. I use their xylitol nasal spray every day.”

    In honor of National Wash Your Nose Day, Xlear is encouraging consumers to embrace simple, everyday nasal care rituals that support immunity, breathability, and overall wellness, habits you may never have considered before.

    Introducing the “Nose First Wellness Kit.”

    To make nasal care easy, Xlear is launching the limited-edition Nose First Wellness Kit, featuring natural, science-backed nasal sprays and tools to help people integrate nose-first wellness into their daily routine. Whether you’re traveling, hitting the gym like UFC fighter Michael Chandler, or navigating seasonal changes, these rituals empower you to stay well from the very first breath.

    Why Nose-First Matters.

    Nasal hairs, cilia, and mucus act as a frontline shield against airborne pathogens. Daily nasal care can improve immunity, upper respiratory health, and overall wellness. Starting wellness at the nose complements handwashing, oral care, and other healthy habits, but with benefits you’ve likely never heard of.

    As part of National Wash Your Nose Day, Xlear is inviting consumers to share their nasal care routines on social media using #WashYourNoseDay, along with engaging content explaining why nasal health matters.

    To learn more about Xlear and Spry with xylitol, visit xlear.com. Xlear is available in major retail stores, including CVS, Walgreens, Target and other local pharmacies and retailers. Spry is available at many local natural grocery retailers.

  • The Roof Guys Announces Participation in Florida’s My Safe Florida Home Program

    The Roof Guys Announces Participation in Florida’s My Safe Florida Home Program

    The Roof Guys, a family-owned Ocala-based roofing contractor, is participating in statewide My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program.

    Our role is to keep the work scope clear, keep scheduling organized, and provide complete documentation so the project can move through the [MSFH] program steps as quickly as possible.”
    — Josh Gavidia, General Manager of The Roof Guys

    OCALA, FL, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Roof Guys, a family-owned and Ocala-based roofing contractor serving Central Florida since 2001, is participating in the statewide My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program. The Roof Guys aim to help eligible homeowners complete roof-related hurricane mitigation improvements recommended through the MSFH process, with an emphasis on clear scopes of work, accurate estimating, and documentation that supports program requirements.

    Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program is designed to help homeowners identify practical improvements that can reduce storm damage. The process begins with a program inspection that evaluates certain wind-related components and results in a report outlining recommended upgrades. For homeowners who meet program requirements, grant funding may be available to help offset the cost of approved improvements listed in that inspection report.

    As a participating My Safe Florida Home contractor, The Roof Guys review the inspection report with the homeowner, explain which roof-related items are being recommended, and prepare estimates that match those recommendations. The Roof Guys will then schedule and complete the approved improvements with their licensed and insured crews, coordinating permits where required and maintaining a job file that supports program closeout.

    “For homeowners who qualify, this program can help cover part of the cost of home upgrades,” said Josh Gavidia, General Manager of The Roof Guys. “Our role is to keep the work scope clear, keep scheduling organized, and provide complete documentation so the project can move through the program steps as quickly as possible.”

    In addition to supporting homeowners through the improvement phase, The Roof Guys will focus on communication and job readiness, including confirming product selections, outlining the scope in plain language, and identifying any site conditions that could affect installation before work begins. The company’s goal is to reduce common project delays by confirming documentation needs early and keeping homeowners informed about what is needed at each milestone.

    About My Safe Florida Home (MSFH)
    My Safe Florida Home is a statewide program focused on hurricane mitigation. Homeowners start by applying for the program and completing the required inspection, which produces a report with recommended improvements. Eligible homeowners may then pursue grant funding for approved items in that report by obtaining contractor estimates and completing the recommended work. After the work is finished, the program process includes a final verification step to confirm completion.

    About The Roof Guys
    The Roof Guys is Florida-native-owned and based in Ocala, Florida. Serving Central Florida since 2001, the company provides roof repair, roof replacement, and hurricane mitigation improvements for residential properties. The Roof Guys holds both a Florida Roofing License CCC1330835 and a Florida Building License CRC1330974.

  • San Diego Artist Files Federal Lawsuit Alleging City Violated First Amendment Rights by Deciding Her Artwork Isn’t “Art”

    San Diego Artist Files Federal Lawsuit Alleging City Violated First Amendment Rights by Deciding Her Artwork Isn’t “Art”

    Complaint Alleges that 2024 San Diego Municipal Ordinance Excludes Protected Speech and Expression from Being Considered Protected Art

    The government doesn’t get to dictate what manner and medium an artist uses to express herself. The creativity and community that artists bring to our public spaces should be celebrated, not penalized”
    — San Diego Civil Rights Attorney Michele McKenzie

    SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sara Duvall, a San Diego native and accomplished artist, has filed a federal lawsuit against the City of San Diego to protect her First Amendment rights [complaint number: 26CV1112AGSBJW]. Since 2024, Duvall has been repeatedly cited and fined for displaying and selling her original, expressive artwork in Balboa Park — on the grounds that her mixed-media clay and metal pieces are not in fact “visual art.”

    Duvall’s work has been exhibited in galleries and recognized with awards. Her pieces explore deeply personal and expressive themes — including, her experience with synesthesia, meditations on the impact of human activity on the earth, and constitutionally-protected political viewpoints on pressing social issues. For years, she shared that work with the public in Balboa Park.

    Following the City’s adoption of its Expressive Activities code and revision of its Sidewalk Vending Regulations in early 2024, the City of San Diego began targeting Duvall — fining her $250 in August 2024 and $500 in May 2025 — classifying her work as commercial vending rather than protected artistic expression. The complaint alleges that these determinations are arbitrary and reflect a profound misunderstanding of both the nature of artistic expression and the protections guaranteed by the First Amendment.

    Duvall is represented by McKenzie Scott PC, the San Diego civil rights firm that litigated Dorsett v. City of San Diego [case number: 3:24-cv-01172], advocating for the First Amendment rights of a man who was convicted of disorderly conduct in Balboa Park for calling Park Rangers “bullies.” In that case, a federal judge found San Diego’s 130-year-old disorderly conduct ordinance to be unconstitutionally overbroad and vague. Dorsett v. City of San Diego ultimately led to the repeal of the ordinance which had been used repeatedly by City law enforcement to punish constitutionally protected speech.

    The lawsuit highlights fundamental constitutional deficiencies in the law: first, San Diego has created a definition of “visual art” that excludes art recognized for millennia for its artistic expression. Art that is carved, art that is welded, art that includes pottery or metal are deemed “handcrafts” not worthy of constitutional protection. Second, San Diego has granted its Park Rangers — law enforcement officers with no training in the arts, First Amendment law, or constitutional standards — the authority to determine on the spot whether a person’s creative expression qualifies as protected “art” or unprotected commercial “vendor” activity.

    Under the City’s framework, a Park Ranger’s subjective opinion about whether a clay sculpture, a mixed-media installation, or any creative work rises to the level of “art” can mean the difference between a citizen exercising a protected constitutional right and facing hundreds of dollars or more in fines. The complaint alleges that the City provides no objective criteria, no meaningful training, and no procedural safeguards to cabin this extraordinary discretion.

    The Duvall case is the latest in a series of First Amendment challenges to San Diego’s regulation of expression in public spaces. In Dorsett v. City of San Diego, William Dorsett was charged under San Diego Municipal Code Section 56.27 — an 1895 ordinance that had not been updated in over a century — for verbally criticizing Park Rangers. A three-judge state appellate panel unanimously overturned his conviction, declaring his criticism to be constitutionally protected. A subsequent federal civil rights lawsuit led U.S. District Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz to issue a preliminary injunction enjoining the City from enforcing the law. The City ultimately repealed the law.

    The complaint alleges that, despite the outcome in Dorsett, the City has continued to enforce vague and overbroad ordinances against protected expression — and has once again placed enforcement in the hands of Park Rangers who lack training on First Amendment principles.

    “The government does not get to dictate what manner and medium the artist uses to express herself,” said Michele McKenzie, lead counsel for Ms. Duvall. “Sara Duvall is an accomplished artist whose work speaks for itself. The City fined her because a Park Ranger looked at her work and decided they weren’t ‘art.’ That is exactly the kind of content-based judgment the First Amendment prohibits.”

    Sara Duvall hopes to return with her art to San Diego’s public spaces. “I just want the same rights as the other artists.”

  • Monument Therapeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in Trial of MT1988 in Patients at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

    Monument Therapeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in Trial of MT1988 in Patients at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

    MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Monument Therapeutics, a stratified medicine company, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in its proof-of-principle clinical trial with MT1988 in patients at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. The study is being conducted in collaboration with the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) as part of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ) program. This trial marks a major step forward in developing treatment options for people at risk of schizophrenia.

    This randomized, placebo-controlled, proof-of-principle study will enroll 150 CHR participants who will receive one of two dose levels of MT1988 or placebo over an eight-week treatment period. The trial will evaluate the potential of MT1988 to improve cognitive symptoms in CHR individuals, incorporating a range of clinical and cognitive biomarkers including Monument’s proprietary digital biomarker. This approach is designed to assess not only therapeutic effects but also the potential of these biomarkers to predict and monitor treatment response.

    “We are excited to be leading this study with Monument Therapeutics, as this trial represents an important opportunity to evaluate biomarker changes in response to MT1988 across a diverse set of measures in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis,” said Dr Scott Woods, Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and Principal Investigator of the study.

    Schizophrenia is a severe mental health disorder and is among the top 15 leading causes of disability worldwide. The CHR syndrome for psychosis affects approximately 1.7% of young people and is associated with considerable cognitive and functional impairments that can emerge months or even years before full-blown psychosis and a schizophrenia diagnosis. In the same way that cutting-edge treatments are now targeting Alzheimer’s disease several years before dementia develops, this trial targets symptoms during the prodromal stages of schizophrenia, in the belief that treating people early will lead to better outcomes.

    “Dosing our first patient marks a pivotal moment for Monument Therapeutics and for people at risk of developing psychosis, as despite the significant impact of this early stage of illness, there are currently no approved pharmacological treatments for the CHR population,” said Sheryl Caswell, Chief Development Officer of Monument Therapeutics.

    “We are honored that MT1988 was competitively selected for this trial from many different drug candidates,” said Kiri Granger, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Monument Therapeutics. “This treatment has the potential to significantly improve the lives of patients at risk of developing psychosis, which would be a tremendous breakthrough given the high unmet clinical need.”

    By evaluating biomarkers and targeted therapeutics in early intervention for individuals at CHR for psychosis, this trial will guide future clinical development and support the continued advancement of MT1988 in schizophrenia.

  • Precision Engineering Supply Launches Online Marketplace for Manufacturing, Engineering, and Automotive Professionals

    Precision Engineering Supply Launches Online Marketplace for Manufacturing, Engineering, and Automotive Professionals

    GULFPORT, MS, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Precision Engineering Supply, a new online retailer specializing in precision tools and equipment, announces its official launch to serve manufacturing, engineering, and automotive sectors. The company offers a curated selection of professional-grade instruments including micrometers, calipers, gauges, enterprise drones, and GNSS receivers, now expanding to include products tailored specifically for mechanic and diesel shops.

    The startup company enters the market with a customer-focused approach, providing specialized tools and equipment that professionals in technical industries rely on daily. According to the company, the expansion into automotive and diesel shop equipment represents a strategic response to demand from mechanical professionals seeking reliable suppliers with competitive advantages.

    Precision Engineering Supply differentiates itself through three core customer benefits: a comprehensive 30-day return policy, tax-free purchasing for customers, and a price-match guarantee. These value propositions aim to reduce purchasing barriers and provide financial flexibility for businesses managing equipment budgets.

    The company’s product portfolio addresses the precision measurement and positioning needs of technical professionals. From traditional measuring instruments like micrometers and calipers used in quality control processes, to advanced technology such as enterprise drones and GNSS receivers for surveying and mapping applications, the retailer focuses on tools that require accuracy and reliability.

    Representatives from Precision Engineering Supply note that the company has established ambitious growth plans. Within three years, the business aims to operate a warehouse facility with a customer-facing showroom where clients can view demonstrations of products before purchase. This physical presence would complement the online platform by allowing hands-on evaluation of equipment, particularly valuable for high-investment items.

    The company projects maintaining over $500,000 in ready-to-ship inventory within this timeframe, enabling same-day fulfillment for customer orders. This inventory strategy addresses a common pain point in the industry where equipment delays can impact project timelines and operational efficiency.

    As manufacturing and engineering sectors continue advancing with new technologies and precision requirements, specialized suppliers like Precision Engineering Supply play an increasingly important role in the equipment procurement chain.

  • Voglana Launches Modern Wall Clock Collection Blending Artisan Craft With Silent Precision

    Voglana Launches Modern Wall Clock Collection Blending Artisan Craft With Silent Precision

    The premium wall clock brand introduces over 20 artisan-crafted designs with silent quartz movements, priced from $260, for US and UK customers.

    We designed each piece to bring a sense of calm into a room.”
    — Alex Berger, Founder and Managing Director

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Voglana, a premium wall clock brand built around minimalist design and artisan craftsmanship, has launched its full modern wall clock collection for customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. The collection includes wall clocks, table clocks, floor clocks, pendulum pieces, and world time designs, each equipped with silent German-engineered quartz movements and finished by hand using carefully selected materials and clean geometric forms.

    The launch arrives during a period of measurable growth in the premium home decor sector. The global wall clock market reached 2.59 billion dollars in 2024 and is projected to grow at 5.4 percent annually through 2032, according to industry research firm 360iResearch. Within that broader category, premium-priced decorative items are expanding at 9.1 percent per year as consumers increasingly allocate larger shares of household budgets toward pieces that anchor a room rather than simply fill it.

    Voglana’s collection of decorative wall clocks spans more than 20 configurations with prices starting at 260 dollars. The Estilo series features open-frame silhouettes with interchangeable hand finishes in gold, silver, rose gold, and matte black, available in 60, 90, and 110 centimeter diameters. The Galileo Duo pairs a double-ring profile with gold accent hour markers that cast directional shadows as daylight shifts across a wall. The Serenity reinterprets the pendulum clock through a brushed gold dial suspended from a braided cord with a weighted brass counterbalance. Floor clock models extend the same design language vertically for larger living spaces. Across the range, outer frames are constructed from a high-performance composite engineered for both durability and low weight, allowing the brand to ship each piece in a compact, flat-pack format without compromising structural integrity. Internal movements are German-manufactured silent quartz mechanisms that produce zero audible ticking.

    The introduction aligns with a broader cultural pivot toward analog objects. Vinyl records outsold compact discs for the first time since 1987. Paper journal sales climbed 21 percent from 2020 through 2025. Board game revenue rose 28 percent over the same period. A handcrafted wall clock occupies a distinct place within this shift. Unlike most analog purchases, it functions simultaneously as a practical object and a permanent design element, one that restructures the visual weight of a room and invites occupants to look up from their screens.

    Design industry trends reinforce the positioning. The quiet luxury movement, now favored by nearly 70 percent of high-end consumers according to interior trade surveys, prizes fewer possessions with greater presence over conspicuous accumulation. Artisan-made goods have gained corresponding traction. Sixty-two percent of American adults purchase handcrafted products at least twice annually, and those buyers consistently pay a 20 to 25 percent premium over mass-produced equivalents. The global handicrafts market stood at 740 billion dollars in 2024, growing at 4.9 percent per year.

    “We designed each piece to bring a sense of calm into a room,” said Alex Berger, Founder and Managing Director of Voglana. “Screens demand constant attention. A well-crafted clock on the wall does the opposite. It gives a space its own quiet rhythm, and we wanted that feeling to carry through the entire experience, from opening the gift-ready packaging to placing the clock on the wall.”

    The full collection of premium wall clocks is available at https://voglana.com/ for customers in the United States and globally, and at https://voglana.co.uk/ for customers in the United Kingdom. Every order ships in a specially designed presentation box suitable for gifting, with a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty covering all timepieces.

    About Voglana
    Voglana is a premium wall clock brand crafting distinctive timepieces that transform living spaces into curated environments. Combining artisan craftsmanship with contemporary design, Voglana serves discerning customers across Europe, the UK, and North America. For more information, visit voglana.com.

  • Security Locksmith and Door Service Expands Commercial Door Solutions for Southeast Missouri Property Owners

    Security Locksmith and Door Service Expands Commercial Door Solutions for Southeast Missouri Property Owners

    CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Security Locksmith and Door Service, a family-owned commercial locksmith and door hardware company serving Southeast Missouri, is expanding its specialized repair and security services to help property owners avoid unnecessary expenses by diagnosing and repairing door systems frequently misidentified as requiring full replacement.

    Across the country, property owners are unknowingly spending thousands replacing doors and hardware when specialized repair solutions could restore security and function at a fraction of the time and cost. Industry specialists say many failures that appear to require complete replacement are often caused by worn components, improper installation, or hardware that simply needs adjustment or upgrading rather than removal.

    As buildings across the United States continue to age and safety compliance standards evolve, proper diagnosis of commercial door systems has become increasingly important. Door hardware involves fire safety requirements, accessibility standards, and compatibility considerations that often extend beyond general construction expertise.

    In many cases, repair solutions can cost 60 to 80 percent less than full door replacement while restoring safety compliance and functionality the same day.

    Unlike service providers focused primarily on lockouts or replacement work, Security Locksmith and Door Service emphasizes identifying the root cause of door and hardware failures before recommending solutions. The company regularly helps homeowners, businesses, schools, churches, healthcare facilities, and property managers avoid unnecessary expenses by repairing hinges, closers, panic hardware, and locking systems frequently assumed to require replacement.

    Serving Sikeston, Cape Girardeau, Jackson, and surrounding Southeast Missouri communities, the company has completed thousands of residential rekeying and automotive key services while expanding into commercial locksmith and door repair solutions including panic hardware repair, door closer service, master key systems, access control installation, and security hardware upgrades designed to maintain safety and code compliance.

    From new homeowners concerned about who still has keys to their property to organizations responsible for maintaining safe emergency exits, the company focuses on educating customers about smarter security decisions, preventative maintenance, and proper hardware selection that improves long-term reliability while avoiding unnecessary expense.

    By combining traditional locksmith craftsmanship with modern commercial hardware expertise, the team provides solutions ranging from residential rekeying and automotive key programming to complex master key system design and access control integration for commercial facilities.

    Looking ahead, Security Locksmith and Door Service plans to continue expanding commercial door and security services throughout Southeast Missouri while strengthening partnerships with businesses, schools, and community organizations focused on preventative maintenance and long-term building safety.

    About Security Locksmith and Door Service

    Security Locksmith and Door Service is a family-owned commercial locksmith and door hardware company specializing in security solutions, access control systems, rekey services, and professional door repair for residential and commercial properties throughout Southeast Missouri. With locations in Sikeston and Cape Girardeau, the company serves homeowners, businesses, healthcare facilities, schools, churches, and property managers by providing expert repair and hardware solutions that restore safety, compliance, and functionality while helping property owners avoid costly replacements.
