International Collectors Tariff Soccer Ball Levels the Pitch – You, Too, Can Play Hardball!

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Wicked West Productions, Inc. announces the launch of The International Collectors Tariff Ball, a unique soccer ball that offers disappointed World Cup fans an inexpensive and satirical way to vent their frustrations with a World Cup that is off limits to so many of its loyal supporters. The International Collectors Tariff Ball features tariff percentage numbers including 39, 15, and 145 printed in white, yellow and red on the black pentagons of the ball’s classic black and white design; it also repeats the phrase, “Level the Pitch,” across the white hexagons.

With world-wide uncertainty about tariffs and travel, many of the 4-5 billion international fans of the world’s most popular sport have been struggling to be part of this year’s World Cup festivities held in US venues in the face of insurmountable FIFA ticket prices and other costs, while costly travel and visa restrictions add to their difficulties.

The International Collectors Tariff Ball is available now on Amazon in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil for those who want to express their frustration, as a gift for soccer fans and collectors or anyone with a wicked sense of humor. The video is in English in the U.S., in English and French in Canada, in Spanish and Portuguese on Amazon in Mexico and Brazil respectively.

According to Wicked West owner Lynda West, “I was living in Italy when they won the World Cup in 2006, and I will never forget the unbelievably joyful celebration. With the financial chaos of today’s tariff wars, I realized how seriously this can now impact fans of the beautiful game.”

Humor aside, the International Collectors Tariff Ball is a standard size 5 soccer ball, built for everyday use on grass, artificial turf or pavement; it’s got a classic 32-panel design, and its durable machine-stitched PU cover and butyl bladder ensure optimal air retention and bounce. Reinforced seams provide long-lasting use. Included in the box is a 6-inch pump and needle (located inside pump).

Friday Harbor expands AI pre-underwriting to condo and manufactured home loans

SEATTLE, Wash., June 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced new capabilities for condominium and manufactured home loans that enable lenders to evaluate property-specific eligibility requirements before files reach underwriting.

Friday Harbor logo
Image caption: Friday Harbor logo.

Condo and manufactured home loans, which together account for nearly 8% of mortgage originations, present unique eligibility requirements that often fall outside the standard mortgage workflow. As a result, lenders frequently rely on specialized reviews that can add time and complexity to the origination process.

Condo reviews can require lenders to evaluate project questionnaires, budgets, insurance coverage, reserve funding and other project-level documentation. Manufactured home loans often involve additional eligibility requirements related to titling, foundation standards and property classification. Both scenarios introduce complexity that can increase review times and create additional work for production and underwriting teams.

Friday Harbor evaluates property-related documentation alongside borrower information as part of its AI pre-underwriting process. Rather than reviewing individual documents in isolation, the platform analyzes information across the loan file and compares it against investor eligibility requirements to identify property-related issues, documentation gaps and potential eligibility concerns.

“Condo and manufactured home loans are a great example of why AI pre-underwriting needs to understand the entire loan file, not just a handful of documents,” said Theo Ellis, founder and CEO of Friday Harbor. “A borrower can be perfectly qualified and still run into property eligibility issues. Friday Harbor helps lenders identify those issues before they slow down the transaction.”

Lenders can learn more about Friday Harbor or request a demo at https://fridayharbor.ai.

About Friday Harbor

Friday Harbor is an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps lenders identify and resolve potential issues earlier in the origination process. By analyzing borrower documents, appraisals and income calculations against investor guidelines and lender overlays, the platform helps teams deliver cleaner files, achieve fewer underwriting touches and improve individual productivity.

EnergyCAP Announces Watts Chat: Instant Answers from the Utility Data that Energy Teams Already Trust

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., June 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — EnergyCAP®, the leading utility and energy management platform, today announced the launch of Watts Chat, the first generative AI capability built on the Watts AI engine. Watts Chat gives energy, sustainability, facilities, and finance teams natural-language access to their own utility data—delivering fast, accurate answers grounded in the audited, financial-grade data their organizations have relied on for decades.

EnergyCAP Watts AI
Image caption: EnergyCAP Announces Watts Chat.

Energy and facilities managers work with some of the most complex operational data in any organization. The challenge is not finding useful data; it is making sense of years of bills, meters, vendors, weather, rates across buildings and projects quickly enough to make time-sensitive, cost-bearing decisions. Watts Chat changes that by allowing utilities teams to ask a question in plain language of their validated data, and get immediate answers: billing summaries, meter data, usage spikes, cost breakdowns, vendor-specific details, or export-ready charts for energy audits, all in seconds.

Unlike generic AI tools, Watts Chat is deeply integrated into each customer’s own data. It keeps the data secure and Watts AI gets smarter based on the structure and context already built into EnergyCAP. For large portfolios, that means troubleshooting in seconds instead of hours. For newer energy managers, it means getting to the right answer without multiple clicks. And for experienced practitioners, it means spending more time acting on insights and less time searching for them.

“Energy and utility managers deal with an enormous amount of complexity. Across accounts, meters, bill details, interval data, site info, carbon factors, and more, EnergyCAP has the data to answer almost any question our customers have. EnergyCAP has always provided the best path to that data, and Watts AI and Watts Chat now make this dramatically easier. It combines decades of energy intelligence and customers’ own validated data, so teams can spend their time on the work that matters,” said Shawn Lankton, CEO, EnergyCAP.

Developed over a year including a six-month beta program, Watts Chat has been validated with customers across multiple industries. The results Watts Chat delivers demonstrate both the breadth and the depth of decision-ready data; customers reported saving dozens of hours each month with Watts, and the highest-rated use cases reflect the daily work of utility teams: comparing usage and cost across portfolios, surfacing details instantly, and quickly answering questions from leadership and other teams.

“For quick internal information, Watts Chat is much faster. It summarizes the data, highlights key takeaways, and helps me think about what to check next. This gives me the starting point I need so I can focus on what the data is telling me,” said Michele M., Energy Management Analyst, Miami-Dade County.

Watts Chat is available now to all EnergyCAP customers as part of their existing software license.

Watts Chat is the first of many exciting new capabilities that Watts AI will deliver. EnergyCAP will share additional product enhancements and offerings later this year at the 20th annual conference, Catalyst Converge (September 14–16, 2026).

About EnergyCAP

EnergyCAP is the leading utility and energy management platform, trusted by more than 750 organizations and tracking more than $100 billion in utility bill value annually. EnergyCAP combines four decades of energy management expertise with purpose-built automation and AI to turn complex utility, energy, and emissions data into faster answers, fewer errors, and lower costs.
