CNT Foundations Introduces Free Foundation Estimate Programs for Homeowners in Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia

Published

on

CHARLESTON, S.C., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CNT Foundations, a locally owned and operated foundation repair company serving South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, today launched free foundation estimates in Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia to help homeowners address issues early and avoid major repair costs.

Foundation problems often develop quietly, and early warning signs can be easy to miss. Cracks, uneven floors, and bowing walls may signal structural concerns that worsen if ignored, leading to headaches caused by disruptive, expensive restoration. Through these complimentary estimates, CNT Foundations provides professional evaluations by trained, certified technicians who use diagnostic technology to identify concerns before they escalate.

The inspection includes a thorough review of the home’s areas of concern, clear identification of existing or potential issues, and personalized recommendations. Homeowners also receive a plain-language report that explains what the team found and why it matters. Appointments are available on flexible schedules, and CNT’s 24/7 call center makes fielding basic inquiries and relaying booking information to the team straightforward at any hour.

CNT Foundations is known for honest assessments and permanent solutions backed by a lifetime warranty. If a foundation is structurally sound and a crack is cosmetic, the company says so. As a local business, CNT tailors solutions to the unique soils and building conditions in the Carolinas and Georgia, and the company proudly hires veterans who bring a mission-focused standard of service to every job. With over 25 years of experience, more than 10,000 completed projects, and a 99% client satisfaction rate, CNT Foundations has become a trusted resource for homeowners across the region.

“We believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge about their foundation’s condition,” said Lisa Wheeler, CNT Foundations. “Our free inspection program removes the barrier to getting expert guidance. Whether your foundation is perfectly sound or needs attention, you’ll get an honest, straightforward assessment, no pressure, no upselling.”

Bird&Be Named Top Prenatal by Consumer Reports for the Second Time — One of Only Two Brands Who Passed Testing

Published

on

By

In new testing of 17 prenatal vitamins, Consumer Reports found that 15 did not match their labeled nutrient levels. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was ranked as one of the safest choices, and one of only two that met label claims.

TORONTO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer Reports recognized Bird&Be as one of the safest and highest quality prenatal vitamins available. The independent nonprofit conducted rigorous testing of 17 over-the-counter prenatals for label accuracy and heavy metals and found that nearly all — 15 of 17 — failed to match levels of key nutrients than their labels claimed, including folic acid which is essential for fetal neural tube development. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was one of just two products that delivered nutrient levels that aligned with their labels, marking the second time Consumer Reports has named Bird&Be as one of its most-recommended prenatals.

What did Consumer Reports find?

15 of 17 prenatals tested had nutrient levels outside of label claims.Half of gummy prenatals contained less folate than labeled, a nutrient critical in early pregnancy.Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack matched labels across every nutrient tested.

Why does Bird&Be measure up?

Developed by fertility doctors and OB-GYNs with doctor-recommended nutrients for pregnancy, Bird&Be’s best-in-class formulations are made in GMP-certified facilities, lab-tested, licensed by Health Canada — a federal authority that assesses products for safety and quality — and Clean Label Project Certified to meet Prop 65 standards for heavy metals.

What should expecting parents look for in a prenatal?

Prenatal vitamins are a routine part of prenatal care, yet they’re highly un-regulated, so brands aren’t required to verify their contents before reaching shelves. Bird&Be sets a new standard of care, and Consumer Reports’ findings back up years of the brand’s third-party testing and position as one of the safest, most-trusted and recommended prenatals.

“Expecting parents deserve products they can trust. Bird&Be is committed to making supplements that are safe and effective, built on rigorous scientific standards. Consumer Reports identified a gap in oversight for our category, and its consistent recognition of Bird&Be confirms the commitment to high quality that we’ve made to our customers and healthcare providers since day one,” said Samantha Diamond, CEO and Co-Founder of Bird&Be.

Bird&Be is available at birdandbe.com, Amazon, and Ulta.

Timekettle Expands AI Ecosystem with Babel OS 3.0, Powering Real-Time Translation on RayNeo iO Smart Glasses

Published

Timekettle’s AI translation platform brings live multilingual support across 55 languages and 109 accents to RayNeo’s flagship smart glasses, marking a key milestone in its expansion as a technology provider

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Timekettle, a global AI cross-language technology company, today announced that its Babel OS 3.0 translation technology is powering the Live Translation feature on the newly launched RayNeo iO Smart Glasses. The integration brings real-time streaming text translation across 55 languages and 109 accents directly to RayNeo’s wearable display, marking a new milestone in Timekettle’s expansion from a translation-device maker to a broader AI technology provider.

Unveiled by RayNeo on August 21, 2026, the RayNeo iO leverages Babel OS 3.0 to deliver seamless, low-latency translation tailored for live, hands-free interaction. Translation results appear directly on the smart-glasses display, reducing the need to look down at a phone or use a separate handheld translator and helping one-on-one conversations feel more direct and natural.

The deployment also reflects a broader part of Timekettle’s business. In addition to developing its own translation earbuds and interpreter devices, the company provides underlying AI translation technology that can be integrated into third-party smart hardware.

Babel OS 3.0 Powers Real-Time Translation on RayNeo iO

Babel OS 3.0 is Timekettle’s proprietary AI translation platform developed for natural, real-time cross-language communication.

On RayNeo iO, Babel OS 3.0 powers the device’s Live Translation feature, delivering real-time streaming text translation across 55 languages and 109 accents with high precision.

Rather than relying solely on literal, word-for-word conversion, Babel OS 3.0 uses AI-driven semantic understanding and translation optimization to generate more natural, conversational output.

For smart glasses, translation has to work within the rhythm of a live interaction. Users need to understand another person while the conversation is still happening, rather than stopping to check a phone or operate a separate translation device. By bringing translated text directly into the wearable display, RayNeo iO demonstrates how Timekettle’s underlying translation technology can support a more immediate form of face-to-face multilingual communication.

The integration also shows how Babel OS 3.0 can extend beyond dedicated translation hardware and adapt to different intelligent-device experiences.

From Translation Hardware to an AI Technology Platform

Timekettle has spent years developing AI translation technology through its own products, including its W Series translation earbuds and X Series interpreter devices.

That work has also enabled the company to build a broader technology platform designed for integration beyond Timekettle-branded hardware.

Babel OS covers the translation pipeline from speech recognition and semantic understanding to translation reasoning, language generation and real-time interaction. Its architecture allows Timekettle to provide underlying AI translation capabilities to third-party hardware partners while those companies focus on their own product design, hardware experience and ecosystems.

“While consumers know Timekettle best for our flagship translation devices, our deep-tech stack has always been the foundation of everything we build,” said Leal Tian, Founder and CEO of Timekettle. “The RayNeo iO deployment shows how Babel OS can integrate into entirely different wearable experiences. Our goal is to make natural, zero-friction multilingual communication an essential, native capability for the next generation of AI hardware.”

Powering the Next Generation of Intelligent Devices

As AI becomes increasingly embedded into everyday hardware, Timekettle sees real-time translation evolving from a capability associated mainly with dedicated translation products into a more native part of intelligent-device experiences.

This creates a broader role for Timekettle as a technology provider.

Rather than developing every possible hardware form factor itself, Timekettle can provide the underlying AI translation technology while third-party hardware partners build the devices and experiences best suited to their users.

The RayNeo iO integration is one example of that model: RayNeo builds the smart-glasses experience, while Timekettle provides the underlying AI translation technology powering its live multilingual translation.

Timekettle plans to continue expanding its technology-provider business and working with third-party hardware partners to bring Babel OS technology to a broader range of next-generation intelligent devices.

About Timekettle

Timekettle is a global technology company focused on AI-powered cross-language communication.

The company develops its own AI translation products, including translation earbuds and interpreter devices, while also providing Babel OS, its proprietary AI translation platform, to smart-hardware partners.

Built on technologies including speech recognition, machine translation, large language models and real-time communication, Babel OS is designed to help intelligent devices deliver more natural, real-time multilingual experiences.

Through both its own products and its technology-provider business, Timekettle aims to make multilingual communication a more seamless capability across the next generation of intelligent hardware.
