From windshields to everyday vehicle upkeep, simple cleaning habits can help drivers stay ready for shorter days, changing weather and busy weekends

- NASCAR driver Jeb Burton and Sprayway share five simple cleaning and visibility tips for fall driving, tailgating and road trips

- Sprayway Glass Cleaner's ammonia-free foaming formula helps deliver a clear, streak-free shine

- Burton will compete in the No. 27 Sprayway Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday, September 18

BRISTOL, Tenn., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As drivers prepare for fall road trips, tailgates, changing weather and shorter days, Sprayway®, known as "The World's Best Glass Cleaner," is teaming up with NASCAR driver Jeb Burton to share practical tips for keeping vehicles clean and glass clear.

At Bristol Motor Speedway, where the tight, fast-paced racing environment demands focus, a clear view is especially important, as rubber, oil, and other debris build up on the racing surface. Burton will put his cleaning habits into practice when he returns to Bristol on September 18 for the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race, where he will compete in the No. 27 Sprayway Chevrolet.

"Visibility is everything when you're behind the wheel," said Burton. "At the track, things happen fast, so we make sure the windshield, mirrors and helmet visor are clean before the race. I use Sprayway because it leaves a streak-free shine, and that same routine works just as well in my everyday vehicle."

Drivers can bring this same race-day approach to their own fall routines with a few simple cleaning habits from Sprayway and Burton.

Race-Inspired Tips for a Cleaner, Clearer Fall Drive

1. Clean both sides of the windshield

Before heading out, clean both the inside and outside of the windshield. Dust, fingerprints, film and road grime can become especially noticeable when headlights shine through at night or when the fall sun sits lower in the sky.

Burton uses a clean microfiber cloth to help leave the glass clear and streak-free.

2. Use a non-ammoniated glass cleaner

For automotive glass, reach for a cleaner designed to tackle the film and grime that can build up during everyday driving. Sprayway Glass Cleaner's non-ammoniated, foaming formula cuts through fingerprints, dirt, dust, smoke film and road grime while leaving a streak-free shine.

Its foaming action also helps the cleaner stay where it is sprayed, making it easy to tackle windshields, windows and mirrors.

3. Give mirrors a quick wipe before you go

A clear view extends beyond the windshield. Burton makes sure his mirrors are clean before a race and avoids touching them afterward to help prevent new fingerprints and smudges.

Everyday drivers can follow the same routine by giving side and rearview mirrors a quick clean before a commute, road trip or busy fall weekend.

4. Stay ahead of in-car clutter

Fall driving can mean more gear in the vehicle, from jackets and sports equipment to tailgating supplies and road-trip snacks. Burton recommends staying ahead of clutter rather than letting it pile up.

"Staying on top of clutter makes a big difference," Burton said. "It's easy for bottles, wrappers and other things to start piling up, so I try to clean them out as I go."

5. Take the clean beyond the windshield

The same cleaning mindset Burton and his team bring to race weekends extends beyond the vehicle. Sprayway Glass Cleaner can be used on a variety of approved surfaces around the garage, trailer and home, making it a convenient addition to fall cleaning routines, too.

Burton's team keeps Sprayway close at hand throughout race weekends, helping keep spaces clean and ready from the garage to the track.

Understanding Contingency Deadlines and What Happens When They Pass Can Shape the Outcome of Any Home Purchase.

WOODBURY, Minn., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What should Woodbury buyers know about the protections built into a purchase agreement before submitting an offer? A HelloNation article examines home offer contingencies and the closing timelines that govern every Minnesota purchase agreement.

A contingency is a condition that must be satisfied before a sale can move forward. The article explains that if the condition is not met by the specified deadline, the buyer typically has the right to cancel the agreement and recover the earnest money deposit. The most common contingencies in a Minnesota purchase agreement are inspection, financing, and appraisal, and each carries its own timeline and set of consequences if deadlines pass without resolution.

The inspection contingency gives buyers the right to have the home professionally inspected within a defined window, generally five to ten days from the accepted offer date in the current Woodbury market. The HelloNation article notes that if an inspection reveals significant problems, the buyer can request repairs, negotiate a price adjustment, or walk away from the agreement. Once the inspection deadline passes without a formal response, that protection is generally gone.

The financing contingency protects buyers who are purchasing with a mortgage loan, allowing them to cancel without penalty if their lender cannot approve the loan under the agreed terms. This contingency typically remains active through most of the transaction, ending a few days before closing. The article cautions that buyers who waive this protection as a competitive strategy take on significant financial risk if their financing does not come through as expected.

The appraisal contingency addresses what happens if the home appraises below the agreed purchase price. In that scenario, a lender will generally only fund a loan based on the appraised value, leaving a gap between what the buyer agreed to pay and what the bank will finance. Without this contingency, the article explains, the buyer remains obligated to close at the agreed price regardless of the appraisal result.

Closing timelines in Woodbury typically run between 30 and 45 days from accepted offer to closing, though loan type and title complexity can affect that range. The article notes that VA and FHA loans sometimes require additional lead time because of specific appraisal and inspection standards tied to those programs. Buyers should discuss realistic timelines with their lender and agent before submitting an offer, since a proposed closing date that cannot be met can create friction with sellers.

Real Estate Experts point out that earnest money deposits in Minnesota are held in trust and commonly range from one to two percent of the purchase price in the Woodbury market. The article stresses that buyers should understand exactly when that money becomes at risk, under what conditions it can be recovered, and how each home offer contingency deadline affects their position in the transaction. Keeping a written timeline synced with both the agent and lender is one of the more practical steps a buyer can take early in the process.

Sellers in competitive markets sometimes push for shorter contingency windows or ask buyers to waive certain protections altogether. Real Estate Experts at RE/MAX Results recommend a clear conversation with a real estate agent about what risk each waiver carries before agreeing to any changes. Buyers who understand the terms of their home offer contingencies are better positioned to make confident decisions under pressure without giving up critical protections.

Offer Contingencies and Closing Timelines: What Woodbury Home Buyers Need to Know features insights from Lisa Olien, Real Estate Expert of Woodbury, Minnesota, in HelloNation.

HOWARD, Ohio, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What makes the design build approach different from traditional home construction methods? A HelloNation article explores how working with a single team for both design and construction can improve results, especially for custom home projects in Knox County, Ohio. The article explains how this method simplifies home planning, supports budget management, and aligns long-term home needs with day-to-day construction coordination.

The article begins by describing how custom home projects can become complicated when handled through separate design and construction contracts. When homeowners work with a design build team, the process becomes more streamlined. The article notes that the team manages everything from the first sketch to the final build, helping homeowners make decisions with full awareness of both design and construction realities.

A key advantage outlined in the article is how the design build method improves communication. Traditional methods often separate architects and contractors, which can create misalignment between vision and execution. In contrast, a design build team integrates both sides of the process. The article explains that this integration allows for real-time problem-solving, better coordination, and fewer surprises during construction.

The HelloNation article also discusses how design build teams support more accurate budget management. Because both design and construction are handled by one group, cost estimates are developed with a full understanding of labor, materials, and timeline requirements. The article emphasizes that this approach reduces the likelihood of costly change orders or last-minute revisions. Design choices are evaluated early for both function and affordability, which helps ensure that the finished custom home stays within budget.

Scheduling is another area where the design build process shows strong advantages. According to the article, design build teams can more easily manage construction timelines because there are fewer delays caused by waiting for external approvals or scheduling multiple contractors. Homeowners benefit from a single point of contact who oversees all aspects of the build, giving them more confidence in the project's progress.

Design quality is also improved through the integrated nature of this method. The article explains that a design build team considers how each decision—from floor layout to lighting—will affect not just aesthetics, but also structural integrity and daily function. The team helps homeowners make informed choices based on their lifestyle, future plans, and budget, which leads to a more functional and lasting custom home.

Choosing the right design build partner is an important step. The article advises homeowners to research firms thoroughly by checking references, reviewing past work, and confirming credentials. As with any major project, clear communication and shared expectations play a critical role in success. When handled by experienced professionals, the article notes, the design build process offers a smoother, more predictable path from concept to completion.

The HelloNation article closes by noting that design build is gaining popularity in Ohio because it offers a practical solution for managing the challenges of custom home construction. Homeowners benefit from coordinated planning, efficient problem-solving, and a unified vision that supports both design goals and construction needs. By using the design build method, the path to a finished home becomes clearer, more cost-effective, and better aligned with long-term home planning.

Indy is the world's first medicinal chemistry agent. Indy outperforms Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol in head-to-head benchmarks that include QC'ing new assay data, analyzing SAR, and the design/triage of analogs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Inductive Bio today launched Indy, an AI chemistry assistant, available to partners now. Inductive's medicinal chemists, computational chemists, and DMPK scientists built Indy for their work inside partner programs, where it has doubled the team's productivity. Indy gives every scientist an AI chemistry assistant that has been trained from some of the best drug hunters in the world to work with a program's data and computational tools (including Inductive's benchmark-winning ADMET and PK models) to increase the rigor of every decision made every day on every program.

The constraint on a discovery program is rarely how quickly scientists can come up with new ideas for molecules. It is the quality of the day-to-day analyses and decisions, big and small, that add up over years to the success or failure of a drug program. Do I trust the data from this assay? What does the new data tell us about SAR? What design strategies will get me closer to my TPP? Are my synthetic resources focused on the right targets? What's the fastest route to test my design hypothesis? Are any of our synthetic targets falling behind? Getting the right answers to these questions takes up the majority of medicinal chemists' time, while getting the wrong answers can waste months of a team's time.

Indy removes this operational bottleneck from drug discovery, increasing the rigor of every decision a medicinal chemist makes. Indy parses CRO reports, QCs every dose-response curve, interprets historical SAR to discern trends, runs generative chemistry algorithms, sets up FEP calculations, and generates project update slides for your next meeting. Scientists get more time for the high-impact work only they can do, enabling higher-quality program decisions with greater confidence.

In a head-to-head comparison published today, Indy outperformed Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on 84 dose-response curves from real programs. Indy had an accuracy of 89%, compared to 39% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 48% for Claude Opus 5, even when Claude and GPT were told to use the highest levels of effort.

"We have incorporated Indy into a number of workflows, including data QC, SAR table construction and analysis, and synthesis queue management," said Nicholas Perl, PhD, head of chemistry at Anvia Therapeutics. "Indy surfaces patterns in the data that help us make better decisions, and it lets me spend less time maintaining slides and more time driving scientific strategy."

"We trained Indy on the tasks that take medicinal chemists' time but not their creativity," said Josh Haimson, co-founder and CEO of Inductive Bio. "The result is an assistant that can double a chemist's productivity while fitting seamlessly into their existing workflows."

Indy is available to Inductive's partners today.

Historic donation, the largest in the network's history and the largest of its kind in New Jersey healthcare, will expand Jersey Shore University Medical Center — and honor the late John K. Lloyd

ISELIN, N.J., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH), New Jersey's largest and most comprehensive health network, today announced a transformational $125 million gift from an anonymous donor — the largest philanthropic commitment in the network's history, the largest gift of its kind in New Jersey healthcare, and among the largest donations to any hospital or health system in the United States.

The gift will advance HMH's mission to bring the best nationally ranked care closer to the people and communities it serves by expanding Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The donor, who has requested anonymity, has asked that the gift honor the legacy of the late John K. Lloyd by naming a pavilion at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after him. A dedication ceremony will take place in the future. John K. Lloyd was a visionary leader who spent more than four decades building Jersey Shore University Medical Center into one of the nation's premier academic medical centers and served as co-CEO of HMH with Bob Garrett.

Nine-figure gifts to American hospitals remain rare, and nearly all of them carry the donor's name. Over the past year, the largest healthcare donations in the country have come from widely known benefactors. At $125 million, this gift ranks among the largest in the nation this year. It is also one of the very few made anonymously, and one of the rarest of all: a donor who declined to put their own name on the building, asking instead that it honor the hospital executive who spent four decades building it.

"In a year when the largest gifts in American healthcare have come from some of the most recognizable names in the country, someone chose to give $125 million and ask for nothing — no name on the building, no announcement, no recognition," said Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, chief executive officer of Hackensack Meridian Health. "They asked us to honor John Lloyd instead. That tells you everything about what this gift is really about. As a not-for-profit network, we put every dollar we receive right back into caring for our communities. Hackensack Meridian Health is home to the #1 adult and children's hospitals in New Jersey and the #1 and only nationally ranked cancer center in the state. We save more lives than any other health network in New Jersey; our patients return home faster and are less likely to experience complications. This gift allows us to keep getting better, every single day, for the families who count on us. And naming the John K. Lloyd Pavilion is deeply personal for all of us — John's fingerprints are on everything we have built together."

The donor hopes this gift will inspire others to make philanthropy a priority. As a not-for-profit health network, Hackensack Meridian Health has no shareholders and no owners. Every dollar the network earns — and every dollar it receives — is reinvested directly into patient care: the doctors and nurses at the bedside, the technology that makes earlier diagnosis and less invasive treatment possible, the research that brings tomorrow's cures to patients today, and the community programs that reach people long before they ever need a hospital.

Not-for-profit hospitals also care for everyone who comes through their doors, regardless of ability to pay, while providing charity care, community health screenings, behavioral health services, and other essential programs that are rarely, if ever, fully reimbursed. Insurance and government reimbursement typically cover the cost of treating a patient — they do not cover the cost of building the next critical care tower, recruiting world-class specialists, opening a trauma bay, or funding the clinical trial that saves a life five years from now.

That gap is where philanthropy comes in. Charitable giving is what allows a not-for-profit hospital to move faster than its budget, to say yes to bold ideas, and to build capacity for a community before the need becomes a crisis. Gifts of every size — from a $25 tribute in honor of a nurse to a transformational commitment like this one — compound into better outcomes for New Jersey families.

This gift arrives in the midst of the most ambitious fundraising effort in New Jersey healthcare history. In 2021, the Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation launched Be the Difference, a transformative campaign to innovate healthcare with a goal of raising $1 billion — the largest campaign of its kind in the state. The campaign is built on four pillars: patient care; research; medical education and the nursing profession; and access to care. To donate, visit GiveHMH.org.

"Philanthropy changes what is possible," said Joyce Hendricks, president and chief development officer, Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. "A gift of $125 million — the largest in our history and the largest of its kind ever made in New Jersey healthcare — reflects a donor's deep confidence in our doctors, nurses, and other clinicians. It will help us expand access, advance the most sophisticated treatments available anywhere in the country, and ensure that world-class care is not something families have to travel far to find. It's already in their backyard. When we launched Be the Difference, we set out to prove that New Jersey families should never have to leave this state for world-class care. A gift like this one moves us decisively toward that goal — and I hope it moves others to join us."

"John devoted his life to Jersey Shore and to the people of this community. He believed a hospital was more than a building — it was a promise to your neighbors," said Maureen Lloyd, wife of the late John Lloyd. "To see his name on this pavilion, and to know that a gift of this magnitude will care for patients here for generations, would have meant everything to him. Our family is profoundly grateful to this donor, and to the doctors, nurses, and team members who carry John's mission forward every day."

A Princeton graduate and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, John K. Lloyd entered health care in 1972 and was named president of Jersey Shore Medical Center in 1982, at a moment when the hospital stood at a crossroads. Working alongside physicians, nurses, trustees, and community leaders, he set it on a path that would make it one of New Jersey's leading academic medical centers — home to cardiac surgery, a regional trauma center, a comprehensive stroke center, and the region's first state-designated children's hospital. In 1997, he led the merger that created Meridian Health, which became the first health system in the country to earn Magnet designation for nursing excellence. In 2016, he helped bring together Hackensack University Health Network and Meridian Health to form Hackensack Meridian Health, serving as co-CEO until his retirement in 2018. He was later honored as the New Jersey Hospital Association's Healthcare Professional of the Year, received NJBIZ's Icon Award, and was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives of New Jersey. The pavilion that will bear his name continues the work he began in Neptune more than four decades ago.

Investing in Monmouth County

The gift comes as HMH continues an unprecedented period of investment in Monmouth County and throughout the region.

Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the #1 hospital in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to U.S. News & World Report, and the only Level I adult and Level I pediatric trauma center in the area — the highest possible certification for trauma care. It is home to K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital, the #1 children's hospital in New Jersey, and to a Level III NICU, one of the highest levels of newborn intensive care.

As the fastest-growing hospital in New Jersey, Jersey Shore sees more than 100,000 emergency department visits each year and regularly operates at or near inpatient capacity. In response, HMH has committed more than $1 billion over 10 years through its Master Facility Plan for a new critical care tower, 24 new operating rooms, and expanded patient facilities — built right on the Neptune campus, just minutes from the medically underserved community of Asbury Park. The recently opened $45 million Cardiovascular Suite at Jersey Shore has already nearly tripled patient capacity for life-saving heart and stroke care.

Nearby, Riverview Medical Center — a staple in Red Bank for nearly 100 years, with a consistent "A" rating from Leapfrog for Hospital Safety — is undergoing a $56 million expansion that will completely redesign its emergency department and add a new 20-room private oncology unit. The redesigned ED, slated for completion in 2027, will include an in-unit CT scanner to cut wait times, a dedicated six-bed secured crisis unit for patients experiencing behavioral health emergencies, and expanded waiting areas designed to protect immunocompromised patients and visitors.

HMH has also invested heavily in bringing care directly into Monmouth County neighborhoods, with large, multi-specialty Health & Wellness Centers in Eatontown and Freehold, robust primary care in Howell, and an additional Health & Wellness Center opening in Red Bank soon. At HMH Health & Wellness Centers, patients can access urgent care, annual checkups, specialists, imaging, labs, and pharmacy — all in one visit. HMH now operates 12 Health & Wellness Centers across the state, with additional locations coming soon.

"These investments reflect a deliberate choice to stay rooted in the communities that depend on us," Garrett added. "Healthcare should strengthen communities — not weaken existing hospitals or abandon vulnerable patients.
