CALGARY, AB, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Horizon Petroleum Ltd. ("Horizon" or the "Company") (TSXV: HPL) (FRA: HPM) (Tradegate: HPM) is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated September 14, 2026, its wholly owned Polish subsidiary, Energia Karpaty Zachodnie sp. z o.o. ("EKZ"), has completed the acid stimulation treatment at the Lachowice 7 ("L7") well in southern Poland and has commenced production testing operations.

Following completion of the acid stimulation, a coiled tubing unit was installed on the well and nitrogen was circulated into the production tubing to unload the well and initiate flow. At approximately 06:30 CET today, the L7 well began flowing gas and condensate naturally, without further assistance from the coiled tubing or nitrogen and continues to flow.

Preliminary flowback rates have reached 5.5 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") of natural gas at a flowing wellhead pressure of approximately 2,500 pounds per square inch (or "PSI") through a choke size of 28/64 inch. The Company considers these initial results encouraging; however, the well remains in the cleanup phase and the reported rates are preliminary and subject to change as the well stabilizes.

During the mechanical portion of the workover program, a significant volume of water was lost into the formation. This water, together with the acid used during the stimulation treatment, is now being recovered through the surface production testing equipment along with the produced natural gas and condensate. The recovery of these fluids is a normal part of the well cleanup process following a workover and stimulation treatment.

The Company expects to continue flowing the well at variable rates for approximately 24 to 36 hours during the cleanup period, or until gas and liquid rates and flowing pressures have sufficiently stabilized. The well will then be shut in for a short period to allow pressure to build, followed by a production logging operation to identify inflow points within the reservoir. The well will subsequently undergo the main flow and pressure build-up portion of the testing program.

The L7 well has previously demonstrated significant gas deliverability, having been tested by previous operators at rates of up to 8.9 MMcf/d (in 1994), including a sustained two-week flow period at approximately 3.0 MMcf/d (in 1999), based on well reports in the Company's possession. The current testing program is designed to provide Horizon with additional information regarding reservoir performance, inflow distribution, pressure behaviour and sustainable production potential following the workover and acid stimulation.

The commencement of flow testing has also generated significant interest in the local community, with the well flare visible from surrounding towns and the start of testing receiving coverage in local media.

While the Company is encouraged by the initial flowback results, the rates observed during the cleanup period should be considered preliminary and should not be interpreted as representative of stabilized or long-term production rates. Final conclusions regarding the well's deliverability will be made following completion of the planned flow and pressure build-up testing program.

The Company will provide further updates as production testing operations progress.

Helping states monitor and respond across multiple, agency-specific security tools

BURLINGTON, Vt., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- nuHarbor, a leading managed cybersecurity services provider, is expanding its Splunk services portfolio to include a new Managed Extended Detection and Response (mXDR) offering, designed specifically for state and local government organizations managing security operations across a mix of platforms, agencies, and legacy tools.

Most state governments don't run a single, uniform security stack. Individual agencies procure their own SIEM, EDR, and identity tools on their own timelines and budgets, leaving state security teams with visibility gaps between systems that were never designed to talk to each other. nuHarbor's new Splunk mXDR offering is built to close that gap — centralizing detection, triage, and response across a state's existing technology investments rather than requiring agencies to standardize on new tools before they can be protected.

"States don't have the luxury of a clean-sheet security architecture — they inherit 20 years of agency-by-agency purchasing decisions across dozens of individual agencies, each with its own procurement cycle," said Justin Fimlaid, CEO of nuHarbor. "The security industry has to meet states where their technology actually is, not where a vendor wishes it was."

The offering is built around ease of adoption for lean state security teams. Approved response playbooks can automatically carry out routine actions — containment, firewall changes, ticketing, notifications — without waiting on an analyst to be at a keyboard. For agencies that want a person in the loop on higher-stakes decisions, a designated approver can review and authorize the action before it's taken.

"Using Splunk as the aggregation point gives a state CISO one consistent view and one accountable response team, even across systems that were never built to talk to each other," said Kyle Smith, COO of nuHarbor. "Agencies get the speed of automation on routine work, while still keeping a person in the loop on the decisions that carry real risk."

Benefits

- 24/7 monitoring and response across multiple ingested tool sets, not a single vendor's ecosystem

- Native support for leading EDR platforms, including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender

- Automated response playbooks for routine containment and remediation actions

- Mobile push-notification approvals, so designated approvers can authorize sensitive actions from anywhere

- A co-managed model that keeps state security teams in control of policy and escalation decisions

- Support for phased onboarding, so agencies can be brought in over time rather than all at once – a practical fit for states building toward whole-of-state coverage without waiting on full, one-time funding

About nuHarbor

nuHarbor is a managed cybersecurity services provider headquartered in Burlington, Vt., specializing in the public sector and delivering co-managed SOC, mXDR, and security advisory services to state and local governments, higher education, and other complex, multi-stakeholder organizations.

Irving Marathon Running Series Kicks Off Oct. 3 With Oktoberfest Half Marathon

Destination half marathons and marathons pair big-race perks with easy travel, hotels near the starting line and a full weekend in the heart of Dallas-Fort Worth

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Come for the race. Stay for the weekend.

The 2026-27 Irving Marathon Running Series starts Oct. 3 with Irving Oktoberfest. It's the first of six race weekends built for runners who want a big-race experience without the big-city hassle. Courses are fast, flat and USATF-certified, hotels are steps from the start line, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is minutes away.

The 2026-27 schedule:

- Irving Oktoberfest Half Marathon — Oct. 3, 2026 (half marathon, 10K, 5K), with bratwurst and beer at the finish

- Irving Turkey Trot — Nov. 26, 2026 (8-mile, 5K)

- Irving Frost Marathon — Dec. 19, 2026 (marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K), a Boston qualifier

- Fiesta de Mayo Half Marathon — May 15, 2027 (half marathon, 10K, 5K)

Race details and registration here.

"As a marathoner, I've run Chicago, New York and the Marine Corps Marathon, and these races hold their own against all of them," said Lori Sirmen, communications manager of Visit Irving. "Runners get major-marathon perks without shuttle lines and crowded corrals, and it's all part of Irving's journey to becoming the running capital of Texas."

First-class from Day One

When Lazaro Alvarez staged his first races, he planned them as if 15,000 runners were coming. He invested in complimentary race photos, quality swag, VIP hospitality, public-safety support and polished race-day production. He even took out an SBA loan to pay for it.

The investment paid off. The series now draws more than 30,000 runners each season, plus their cheering squad. Last season's participants came from 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and 16 countries.

"From the beginning, I wanted every runner to feel like they were at a major event, whether there were 500 people at the starting line or 15,000," Alvarez said. "We built the experience first. Now we're giving runners more reasons to make Irving part of their race calendar."

From Irving High to Irving's starting line

Alvarez moved from El Salvador to Irving at 13 and ran track at Austin Middle School and Irving High School. At Schreiner University, he helped start the first cross-country team. When he returned to Irving and found the city had no marathon, he co-founded one in 2012. And today there is an entire season of races that promote fitness, fun, and community spirit.

The race team relies on community volunteers to deliver a seamless race-day experience and gives back by supporting the Irving Schools Foundation in numerous initiatives.

Roll out of bed. Walk to the start

Races start and finish at Toyota Music Factory, an outdoor concert venue and entertainment district in Las Colinas. Courses run along the Las Colinas canals and Lake Carolyn. Nearby hotels mean no predawn commute or shuttle ride, and race-specific hotel deals are available. After the post-race party, runners can explore Las Colinas' walkable restaurants, bars and live music.

Your race weekend starts here

Register for any race and see the full 2026-27 schedule on the Irving Marathon Running Series website. Plan your race weekend with hotels, dining and things to do from Visit Irving.

About the Irving Marathon Running Series

Lazaro Alvarez and Jaclyn Livingston founded the Irving Marathon Running Series in 2019. It grew out of the Irving Marathon, established in 2012 by Alvarez and Ronnie Chesko. The series benefits the Irving Schools Foundation.

The article highlights how soil preparation, plant spacing, and mulching support healthy plants and long-term garden success.

GLEN ROCK, N.J., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What simple techniques help a garden bed thrive and produce healthy plants in Glen Rock, NJ? HelloNation has published the answer in an article featuring insights from Landscaping Expert Michael Tarleton of TLC Landscaping.

The HelloNation article explains that building a successful garden bed starts with proper soil preparation. Loosening compacted soil allows roots to grow deeper and access nutrients more effectively. Adding organic material improves structure, drainage, and fertility, all of which are essential for supporting healthy plants in Glen Rock gardens.

Plant spacing is another critical factor in maintaining a productive garden bed. When plants are spaced correctly, they receive adequate sunlight, airflow, and nutrients. Proper plant spacing reduces the risk of disease and ensures that healthy plants can grow without competition. Overcrowding, on the other hand, can limit growth and create conditions that encourage pests and fungal issues.

Weeding is an essential part of ongoing garden bed maintenance. Removing unwanted plants prevents competition for water and nutrients, allowing healthy plants to thrive. Regular weeding also improves airflow and reduces the likelihood of disease, making it a simple but effective practice for maintaining strong garden performance.

Mulching provides additional support for any garden bed. Applying organic mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Over time, mulching also enriches the soil as materials break down, contributing to improved soil preparation and healthier growing conditions in Glen Rock.

Watering practices are equally important for maintaining healthy plants. Deep, consistent watering encourages strong root development and improves resilience during dry conditions. Proper watering techniques ensure that the garden bed remains balanced, avoiding both overwatering and drought stress.

Fertilization supports continued growth and productivity in the garden bed. Using balanced nutrients and monitoring soil conditions helps maintain the right environment for healthy plants. Thoughtful fertilization ensures plants receive the nutrients they need without overwhelming the soil.

Pruning is another technique that enhances plant health. Removing damaged or excess growth improves airflow and allows sunlight to reach all parts of the plant. Regular pruning helps maintain structure, reduces disease risk, and supports overall garden bed performance.

The article also highlights the importance of combining these practices for long-term success. Soil preparation, plant spacing, weeding, mulching, watering, fertilization, and pruning all work together to create an environment where healthy plants can flourish in Glen Rock.

By following these simple techniques, homeowners can build and maintain a productive garden bed that supports strong plant growth, improves appearance, and reduces common issues. Consistent care and attention ensure lasting results and a thriving outdoor space.

Simple Garden Bed Techniques That Help Plants Thrive in Glen Rock, NJ features insights from Michael Tarleton, Landscaping Expert of Glen Rock, NJ, in HelloNation.

CRESCENT ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL SALE OF THE HOTEL AT AVALON

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Crescent Real Estate LLC ("Crescent") is pleased to announce the successful sale of The Hotel at Avalon, a 330-room luxury hotel located within Avalon, Alpharetta's award-winning mixed-use destination.

Acquired in September 2020 amid unprecedented uncertainty across the hospitality industry, The Hotel at Avalon represented a high-conviction investment in a superior hotel at a time when many investors remained focused on the near-term disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Crescent recognized the opportunity to acquire a premier hotel at an attractive basis, supported by the long-term strength of the asset, its location, and the broader Avalon ecosystem.

Opened in 2018, The Hotel at Avalon serves as the hospitality anchor of Avalon, one of the Southeast's premier mixed-use destinations featuring luxury retail, dining, office, residential, and entertainment offerings. As the only hotel within the development, the property occupies an irreplaceable position within one of the region's most successful live-work-play environments.

"In the fall of 2020, very few investors were willing to lean into hospitality. We believed The Hotel at Avalon was a truly irreplaceable asset located within one of the country's premier mixed-use communities, and we were able to acquire it at a basis that reflected a moment of extraordinary market uncertainty," said Christopher Goff, Senior Managing Director and Head of Capital Formation at Crescent Real Estate. "That combination of conviction, disciplined underwriting, and strong execution by our team and partners produced a great outcome for our investors, fully validating our original investment conviction."

Throughout Crescent's ownership, the hotel benefited from the recovery of the lodging sector and the continued growth of the Avalon community, further validating the original investment thesis. The property's exceptional quality, market-leading performance, and irreplaceable position within Avalon attracted significant investor interest, culminating in one of the most notable hotel transactions in the Atlanta market in recent years.

"The Hotel at Avalon has consistently distinguished itself as one of the premier hotels in the Southeast," said Troy Furbay, Managing Director and Head of Hospitality at Crescent Real Estate. "The strength of the property, the Avalon ecosystem, and the great work of Crescent's team alongside HEI Hotels & Resorts positioned the hotel for sustained success throughout our ownership and ultimately drove significant interest from the investment community."

The successful disposition reflects Crescent's ability to identify high-quality opportunities during periods of market dislocation, invest with conviction, and create value through disciplined ownership and active asset management.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our capital partners for their trust and support throughout the investment. We also thank HEI Hotels & Resorts for their strong stewardship of the property and Eastdil Secured for their professionalism and guidance throughout the disposition process.

Crescent is proud to have owned and stewarded The Hotel at Avalon and wishes the new ownership team continued success. This investment is not necessarily representative of all Crescent investments.

Goff, with assets under management, development, and investment capacity of more than $10 billion. Through the GP Invitation Funds, Crescent acquires, develops and operates all real estate asset classes alongside institutional investors and high net worth clients.

The article outlines how elder law supports long-term care planning, healthcare decisions, and asset protection for aging adults.

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What does elder law cover, and why is it important for families planning for the future?

HelloNation has published the answer in an article featuring insights from Estate Planning Attorney Aaron Miller of Miller Law Office, PLLC, in Plano, TX.

The HelloNation article explains that elder law addresses many of the legal and financial issues that arise as people age. While many individuals associate elder law with wills and trusts, the article notes that it also involves long-term care planning, Medicaid planning, asset protection, guardianship matters, and healthcare decision making. These legal tools help families prepare for future challenges while maintaining stability and independence.

One major area discussed in the article is long-term care planning. As healthcare needs increase with age, families often face decisions involving nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or in-home care. The article explains that long-term care planning is important because these services can become expensive very quickly. An estate planning attorney can help families understand available options and prepare financially for future care needs.

Medicaid planning is another key component of elder law. The article explains that Medicaid planning involves complex eligibility requirements tied to long-term care benefits. Financial limits, asset restrictions, and look back periods can all affect eligibility. Careful planning helps families prepare for future healthcare expenses while remaining compliant with state and federal regulations.

The article also highlights the importance of documenting healthcare wishes in advance. Elder law often includes legal documents such as medical powers of attorney, advance directives, and healthcare directives. These documents help ensure that healthcare decisions reflect a person's preferences if they become unable to communicate independently.

Guardianship is another important topic covered in the article. In some cases, aging adults may no longer be able to safely manage financial or personal matters. Guardianship proceedings allow courts to appoint someone to make decisions on behalf of that individual. The article notes that elder law planning often focuses on reducing the need for guardianship by establishing legal authority ahead of time.

Asset protection is also discussed as an important part of elder law planning. Families frequently want to preserve savings, property, and financial resources while preparing for future healthcare costs. The article explains that certain legal strategies may support asset protection when coordinated properly with Medicaid planning and estate planning goals.

The relationship between elder law and estate planning is another key point in the article. A complete estate planning strategy may include wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and incapacity planning documents. These tools help ensure that personal wishes are followed both during life and after death while supporting long-term financial organization.

The article also explains that unexpected medical or financial emergencies can create stress when families have not planned ahead. Decisions involving caregiving, healthcare treatment, and financial management are often more difficult during urgent situations. Elder law planning helps reduce uncertainty by creating legal and financial structures before emergencies occur.

The article concludes that elder law provides families with practical tools for navigating aging-related challenges. Through long-term care planning, Medicaid planning, guardianship preparation, asset protection, and estate planning, individuals can create plans that support stability and provide greater clarity for loved ones.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kali Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering next-generation immune-resetting and multi-specific therapies, today announced its selection as a winner of the 2026 Endpoints 11, the annual list of the 11 most promising private biotechnology companies curated by the Endpoints News editorial team.

Founded in July 2024, Kali was selected by Endpoints News editors on the strength of its differentiated T-cell engager platform and the pace of its execution — in just over two years, the company has advanced two candidates into the clinic and licensed its lead program to Sanofi. The 2026 honorees were chosen following a monthslong selection process spanning hundreds of private companies and were announced at an awards gala held at The State Room in Boston on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

"We are honored to be named an Endpoints 11 company and to stand alongside a group of teams taking real scientific risk," said Weihao Xu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kali Therapeutics. "This recognition belongs to everyone at Kali who has moved our proprietary CD3-masking platform from an engineering idea to two molecules in the clinic in a little over two years — and, most of all, to the patients and investigators who have joined our trials. Our ambition has not changed: to pursue a durable immune reset that has the potential to offer people with autoimmune disease something more than another chronic therapy."

The award follows a year of rapid progress, including FDA clearance of the Investigational New Drug application for KT501, first patient dosing in the Phase 1a rheumatoid arthritis trial in March 2026, and a worldwide exclusive license of KT501 to Sanofi for $180 million in upfront and near-term payments, with up to $1.05 billion in potential milestones and tiered royalties.

"We backed Weihao and this team at founding and worked closely with them since then. The pace of execution has been remarkable — from company formation to the clinic and a worldwide partnership with Sanofi in roughly two years," said Derek Yuan, Ph.D., Partner at LYFE Capital, Kali's earliest institutional investor, and a member of the company's Board of Directors. "What drew us in from the start was the promise of durable remission for patients. Kali's proprietary engineering offers a way to bring the potency of T-cell engagers to autoimmune disease without accepting the toxicity that has limited the modality, and the data generated so far have reinforced that thesis. We are proud to support Kali from the beginning and to continue backing the team as the platform expands."

Kali's proprietary CD3-masking platform is designed to decouple potency from toxicity, enabling deep B-cell depletion in both peripheral blood and tissue while limiting cytokine release. The approach underpins a pipeline that includes KT502, a CD19 x CD3 bispecific T-cell engager in Phase 1 clinical trial, and KT209, a CD19 x CD20 x CD3 trispecific antibody with IND-enabling activities underway and a first-in-human study planned for the first half of 2027. Kali is also extending the platform beyond B-cell depletion, applying the same masking approach to additional cell types implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory disease.
