Science-based, personalised jet lag plans provided for every Round the World journey purchased on oneworld.com

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The oneworld® Alliance is helping customers adjust to new time zones faster and lose fewer days to jet lag on Round the World journeys through a new partnership with Timeshifter – the world's most-downloaded jet lag app, with more than 1.7 million users.

Effective immediately, customers purchasing Round the World trips on oneworld.com will receive a complimentary Timeshifter subscription that covers their entire itinerary, considering every flight and time zone shift from departure to final return.

"Our partnership with Timeshifter will help Round the World customers arrive ready to enjoy each new destination by supporting better sleep and faster adjustment to new time zones," said Roger Blackburn, vice president of Loyalty and Commercial for oneworld, in remarks from the stage at the oneworld Loyalty Summit in Dallas/Ft. Worth. "Jet lag has a significant impact on health and wellbeing. This new partnership provides oneworld an opportunity to do what we do best: deliver a premium, elevated experience at every opportunity along the journey."

Timeshifter is based on the latest circadian science, and advice is personalised to each customer's flight itinerary, typical sleep pattern, chronotype and personal preferences.

"Timeshifter is trusted by astronauts, Formula One teams and professional athletes, and we are excited to be working with oneworld to provide this same circadian science to oneworld's customers, improving their health and enjoyment when they cross time zones," said Mickey Beyer-Clausen, CEO of Timeshifter. "Air travel has optimised nearly every part of flying except for what crossing multiple time zones can do to the traveller – a gap our partnership with oneworld will help to close."

What is jet lag?

Jet lag is not a sleep problem but a temporary misalignment between a person's internal circadian clock and local time at their destination. The circadian clock keeps sleep, alertness, digestion, immune function, and dozens of other systems, synchronized to a 24-hour day, and takes its cues from light and darkness.

When travellers cross several time zones, the light-dark cycle shifts by hours, while the circadian clock moves only about an hour a day on its own. The only way to adjust to new time zones quickly is by timing light exposure and light avoidance precisely. If the timing is wrong, it will make jet lag worse.

"This is just the latest example of the creative ways we are engaging with premium partners who bring true value and an elevated experience to oneworld customers," said Ole Orvér, CEO of oneworld.

About Timeshifter

Timeshifter is the global leader in circadian technology, translating circadian science into breakthrough products and solutions that improve human performance, safety, and health. In 2018, Timeshifter made jet lag history with its first product – now the most-downloaded jet lag app in the world. Building on this success, Timeshifter introduced a groundbreaking app to help shift workers improve their sleep, safety, health, and quality of life. Timeshifter's concierge services support astronauts, NBA players, Formula 1 drivers and Olympic athletes perform at their best.

The San Diego sauna and cold plunge company joined Inc.'s ceremony celebrating the 2026 Inc. 5000, earning its second consecutive ranking at No. 198.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Home Saunas rang the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell with Inc. 5000 on Aug. 11, 2026, and ranks No. 198 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 on 1,715% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. Co-founders and co-CEOs Tyler Fish and Adam Fischer represented the San Diego company at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, where Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman rang the bell to launch the list.

"Five years ago, Sun Home was two friends funding a side project with our own commission checks," said Tyler Fish, co-founder and co-CEO of Sun Home Saunas. "Standing on the Nasdaq podium as the market opened, as a two-time Inc. 5000 honoree, is a moment we owe to every customer who trusted us with their home and every teammate who made that trust worth keeping."

Second consecutive Inc. 5000 ranking

Inc.'s company profile lists Sun Home at No. 198 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, which ranks U.S.-based, privately held, independent companies by percentage revenue growth over three years. The ranking places Sun Home in the top 500, the group featured in the fall issue of Inc. magazine. Sun Home ranked No. 20 on the 2025 Inc. 5000, where it was the top-ranked consumer services company, and No. 7 on Inc.'s 2026 Inc. Regionals: Pacific list.

"The Inc. 5000 measures growth, but what it reflects for us is repeat trust: customers buying a second product, recommending us to friends, and holding us to the testing and warranty terms we publish so people can verify what they are buying," said Adam Fischer, co-founder and co-CEO of Sun Home Saunas. "We are grateful to Inc. for the invitation and to Nasdaq for the welcome."

Behind the growth

Fish and Fischer founded Sun Home in 2021 with no outside investors, and the company remains privately held. It sells direct to consumers: indoor and outdoor infrared saunas, the Nova indoor traditional sauna line launched in July 2026, cold plunges including the Cold Plunge Pro series, infrared sauna blankets, and red light therapy devices.

In 2026, Fortune named the Sun Home Luminar Outdoor 5-Person Infrared Sauna its best overall home sauna (4.5 out of 5), and Forbes Vetted named the Sun Home Cold Plunge Tub its Best Cold Plunge Tub Overall. Sun Home publishes named-laboratory EMF testing by Vitatech Electromagnetics and a cabin-air VOC test in which VERT Environmental collected the sample and LA Testing, an AIHA-accredited laboratory, performed the analysis. The company is Great Place To Work Certified, with 100% of surveyed employees saying it is a great place to work.

YOUNG SISTER FOUNDERS BRING SHAREASCAN'S NEW SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY TO PRIME TIME TV AWARD SHOW NOMINEE AND PRESENTER GIFT BAGS

Patent-pending platform uses wearable QR technology to bridge the physical and digital worlds

SEE. SCAN. CONNECT.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ShareAScan transforms apparel, accessories and everyday objects into digital connection points. The QR code is the doorway: someone scans it, and the platform opens the digital experience its owner has chosen to share.

That experience can include text, photographs, videos, music, social profiles, portfolios, businesses, shops, causes or other content. Unlike a conventional QR code tied to one fixed destination, ShareAScan content can be changed repeatedly without replacing the code or physical product.

Now ShareAScan.com, the patent-pending social technology platform founded by sisters Shara and Kailey Zuckerman, will be included in this year's Emmy nominee and presenter gift bags.

ShareAScan was inspired by watching people sit together while communicating through their phones instead of talking face to face. Shara and Kailey Zuckerman envisioned using familiar technology to reverse that behavior—turning the smartphone into a bridge to real-world conversation rather than a barrier between people.

"Traditional social media pulls people into a feed. ShareAScan begins in the physical world and can become the start of an actual conversation," said Shara. Kailey added, "We believe the next social network will not simply be somewhere you log into. It will exist in the world around you."

The Maryland-based company is being built by two young women while they are still students. Shara is in college studying business, finance and artificial intelligence, while Kailey is still in high school. Their experience includes Shark Tank-style competition victories and the Wharton Global High School Investment Competition.

ShareAScan is built around user control. Owners decide what they share, when they share it and who can see it. A single product can become a changing introduction, portfolio, personal message, business card, creative showcase or invitation to connect.

Its inclusion in the Emmy nominee and presenter gift bags represents a significant milestone for the sisters and their vision of technology as a bridge, not a barrier.

THE QR STAYS. THE CONTENT CHANGES.

ABOUT SHAREASCAN

ShareAScan is a Maryland-based, patent-pending social technology platform connecting physical products to dynamic, user-controlled digital identities. No special app or username is required. The real world is the network.

WNC & Associates, Inc. Closes $66.3 Million California Affordable Housing Fund, Marking 55 Years of Investment in Home State

Across 41 California funds, WNC has invested more than $4 billion in acquired portfolio assets across 350 properties in 180 communities

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WNC & Associates, Inc. (WNC), an Irvine-based family-owned business known as both a pioneer and leader in the affordable housing industry, announced the closing of WNC Institutional Tax Credit Fund X California Series 23, L.P. (CA23). The $66.3 million fund is the company's 23rd consecutive California-focused multi-investor affordable housing fund for institutional investors. Over its 55 years, WNC has sponsored 41 California-focused funds and invested in 350 properties across 180 communities in the state, in addition to its national footprint.

"Closing CA23 is an important milestone for WNC as we celebrate our 55th year of operations. We are proud of our California roots and the role our home state has played in WNC's growth into a national affordable housing organization," said Will Cooper Jr., president and CEO of WNC. "In states where housing is in short supply, our work to create and preserve tens of thousands of affordable homes has a real and needed impact."

WNC's 23 consecutive California-focused funds have raised nearly $1.5 billion and supported 161 affordable housing properties representing 15,573 homes and $4.2 billion in total development costs. The investments span 34 counties across the state, supporting both the creation of new affordable homes and the preservation of existing housing in urban, suburban, and rural communities.

CA23 includes six new-construction affordable housing properties totaling 650 homes across Los Angeles, San Benito, and San Diego counties; financing from the fund will help four developers bring their projects to completion. All six properties will serve families and utilize 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs), with 25 units receiving rental assistance through Section 8 vouchers.

"While the affordable housing industry has changed considerably over the past five decades, WNC's commitment to affordable housing remains consistent," said Christine Cormier, executive vice president of investor relations at WNC. "Our ability to evolve with the market, develop strong institutional relationships, and continue supporting our developer partners has solidified our role as a trusted partner in advancing affordable housing."

Since its founding in Orange County in 1971, WNC has grown from its California roots into a national affordable housing organization, investing in communities across the country while maintaining a significant presence in the state.

At RIMPAC 2026

Sea Hunter, originally developed by Leidos, participated in RIMPAC as the exercise's only Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV).

Powered by the Leidos Autonomous Vessel Architecture (LAVA), Sea Hunter:

- Operated autonomously more than 2,000 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to San Diego, California

- Demonstrated autonomous surveillance

- Demonstrated manned-unmanned teaming, operating as part of a larger naval force as well as a stand-alone platform

With the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group

Seahawk is operating alongside crewed naval forces as the first MUSV to deploy operationally with a carrier strike group.

Operating within the strike group's communications, command-and-control and operational framework, Seahawk's capabilities include:

- Autonomous navigation and perception

- Collision avoidance: Compliance with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) and hazard avoidance

- Keep Out Zone avoidance: Automatically navigates around designated restricted areas

- Communications failover and remote control: Maintains control through alternate communications paths

- GPS-denied navigation: Followed commanded waypoints without GPS and reintegrated GPS while remaining on track

Expert perspective

"Sea Hunter and Seahawk show what more than a decade of operating autonomy at sea brings to the mission," said Mike Rickels, Leidos senior vice president for Maritime. "Real-world operations validate performance while providing lessons that further refine autonomy for future missions."

The technology

Sea Hunter and Seahawk are powered by LAVA, the modular software that enables autonomous navigation, mission execution, obstacle avoidance and other critical functions. It also provides a common autonomy foundation that can support different vessels and mission requirements.

By the numbers

Across its autonomous maritime portfolio, Leidos vessels and autonomy software have accumulated:

- Over 200,000 nautical miles of autonomous operation

- 14,000 hours of safe autonomous operation

- More than a decade of autonomous maritime development and operational experience

The big picture

Leidos' experience extends beyond autonomous navigation. In 2021, the Leidos-built MUSV Ranger, operating with LAVA, test-fired an SM-6 Standard Missile from a modular launch system as part of the Navy's Ghost Fleet Overlord program.

Together, Sea Hunter, Seahawk and Ranger demonstrate the breadth of Leidos maritime autonomy across vessels, missions and operating environments.

About Leidos

Leidos is an industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers with smarter, more efficient digital and mission innovations. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with approximately 50,000 global employees, Leidos reported annual revenues of approximately $17.2 billion for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026.

TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VitalCore Health Strategies is proud to support the opening of a new 60-bed Behavioral Health Unit at the Shawnee County Jail in Topeka, Kansas, where the company provides healthcare services in partnership with the Shawnee County Department of Corrections. The new unit expands dedicated space for individuals awaiting trial who need mental health, substance use, suicide prevention, competency restoration, and other specialized services.

The $21 million, 23,279-square-foot addition opened on August 24 following a three-year planning and construction process, creating a specialized environment designed to address a range of behavioral and mental health needs. The 60-bed facility incorporates features such as soft furnishings, natural light, and sound-dampening elements designed to create a calmer, more supportive environment for those receiving care.

The Behavioral Health Unit offers three distinct pathways based on individual needs, with programming focused on suicide prevention, competency restoration, and persistent mental illness.

I am very proud of the leadership in Shawnee County for understanding and creating a safe place in our community to provide these services."

VitalCore assumed responsibility for healthcare services for the Shawnee County Department of Corrections in 2024, building on its commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care within the correctional environment.
