New platform requires users to complete a brief mindfulness exercise before opening Instagram, TikTok, X, and other distracting apps and websites

Wilmington, Delaware, 31st March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Impulse Inc. today announced the launch of Welligama: Breathe to Unlock™, a new digital wellbeing and productivity platform designed to help people take back control of their attention from compulsive social media use.

The launch comes at a moment of heightened public scrutiny around addictive platform design and rising concern about the effects of compulsive social media use and doomscrolling on attention, mental wellbeing, and productivity. In recent months, global coverage and policy debates have increasingly focused on social media addiction, platform accountability, harms to young users, and proposed age-based restrictions in several countries. Research from Common Sense Media, Pew, the CDC, and Harvard Business Review also points to high levels of device use, concerns about excessive social media habits, and meaningful effects on mental wellbeing, focus, and workplace productivity.

Welligama: Breathe to Unlock™ (USPTO Patent Pending) is built on the premise that it is okay to scroll and use our devices — but that we need to do it intentionally and with continuous self-regulation.

Rather than relying on rigid blockers or blunt time limits, Welligama takes a different approach. Before opening selected social media apps or distracting websites, users are asked to pause and complete a short interactive mindfulness exercise: three guided in-and-out breaths using audio, visual, and touch-based cues. Once completed, access is unlocked for a limited time chosen by the user.

Existing tools often depend on restriction alone. Many users eventually disable them, or experience frustration, guilt, shame, and rebound behaviors. Welligama is designed to interrupt autopilot without punishing the user for being human. The goal is not to eliminate device use, but to create a repeatable moment of awareness before re-entering it.

Users are free to use their apps, but are gently prompted every 15 minutes — or at an interval of their choosing — to redirect attention to the present moment, reconnect with the body, and notice their emotions and intentions. Over time, this repeated practice is designed to help users strengthen their ability to be intentional with focus, increase awareness of their internal state, and create more space for the things they care about most.

“This platform was born from a simple but transformative practice: taking a moment to pause and return to the breath regularly, which can change the way we relate to our devices,” said Praveen Dayananda, Founder and CEO of Impulse Inc. “Most solutions try to fight compulsive use with force. Welligama is built on a different premise — that it is okay to scroll, but we need to do it consciously. When you pause, breathe, and come back to the present moment before opening an app, you give yourself a chance to choose rather than react.”

Welligama also includes a broader ecosystem of wellbeing tools, including guided mental and physical health practices, customized check-ins and recommendations, an AI companion, and community support.

Dayananda, who envisioned and developed the platform, has spent 20 years practicing and teaching mindfulness, including under the guidance of Thich Nhat Hanh, and through studies at UCLA and Stanford University. He has also worked as an investment banking advisor to more than 50 technology startups.

The platform was selected as a 2026 Web Summit Impact Startup, reflecting its mission to help people build a healthier relationship with technology. Welligama is now available for iPhone on the Apple App Store. Android and web versions are expected to be released in the coming year.

• Life Revisited: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Purpose of Existence, by Laurent Grenier, is a welcome synthesis of science and philosophy that affords an intellectual anchor in our turbulent times, earning praise from scholars and readers alike.

Soledit, Ottawa, ON, 31st March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — In an age of existential uncertainty, where rapid technological change, global crises, and information overload leave many searching for meaning, independent philosopher Laurent Grenier delivers a transformative response with his essay, Life Revisited: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Purpose of Existence. Now marking its one-year anniversary since publication, this multifaceted and inspired tour de force submits that life has a profound purpose, thereby furnishing a guiding roadmap to understanding it, while remaining nondogmatic, respectful of other worldviews, religious or not.

Drawing on over four decades of dedicated mindfulness, study, and reflection, Grenier integrates insights from philosophy, far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics, evolutionary biology, quantum mechanics, psychology, ethics, politics, and ecology. Unlike conventional philosophical texts that often raise more questions than answers, Life Revisited constructs a clear and credible framework—based on tangible evidence and grounded speculative thinking—that sheds light on the mystery of the universal unfolding and of our inquisitive presence within it. Though relatively short and highly concentrated (146 pages), the book is equally accessible and profound, without preachy and simplistic shortcuts. It will appeal to receptive and educated readers grappling with life’s big questions amid a “bewildering welter of things”.

Scholars like the professor of chemistry, Addy Pross, and the physics professor and researcher, Adam Frank, both authors of many popular science books, have endorsed it as an “enjoyable and compelling” expression of “human creativity in its highest form, weaving together basic science and philosophy”. Santiago S. Borboa, PhD in Philosophy, praises it as an “excellent work that successfully articulates a sensible, intelligible, coherent and plausible multidisciplinary synthesis.” Patrick Imbert, PhD in Semiotics, adds, “A very well-structured and argued book. It is very clear and nuanced, written in a style that is easy to read, even when dealing with complex matters.” On Goodreads, it boasts a 4.91/5 rating from nearly 100 readers, with one reviewer stating that the book “provides a robust, logical foundation for ethics and meaning that feels unshakable.” Grenier’s Life Revisited isn’t just philosophy; it’s a lifeline for anyone seeking clarity in chaos.

By blending time-tested science with age-old wisdom, Grenier challenges us to rethink our place in the universe.” Born in Paris, France, in 1957 to French Canadian parents and raised in Canada, he has spent his life pursuing a “vision of things and an art of living that make the world understandable and habitable.” His last essay marks the culmination of his journey, tapping into many fields of human knowledge to address the central query: “Why live?” Offered in both English and French (La vie revisitée : une perspective multidisciplinaire sur le but de l’existence, ISBN: 9798896869764), the essay invites readers to explore the experience of being not only as a burden to endure, but also as a purposeful adventure to embrace. As we enter 2026, with ongoing debates in AI ethics, climate resilience, and mental health underscoring our collective search for meaning, Life Revisited arrives as a timely intellectual beacon. Notably, it is more than an abstract theoretical exercise; it is a call to action for a more enlightened engagement with the world that aims to better it as much as possible.

Life Revisited can be purchased in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats at major retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indigo/Chapters (ISBN: 9798896869733). For media professionals, free review copies are available upon request. Journalists, bloggers, and podcasters specializing in philosophy, science, spirituality, or personal development are encouraged to explore this work. Laurent Grenier is available for discussions on such topics as the intersection of science and ethics, evolutionary purpose, or finding unity in a fragmented world.

About Laurent Grenier: He is a lifelong philosopher who initially found his calling in a physically disabling sport accident that bankrupted the meaning he gave to his life. Dedicated to making sense of existence, Grenier combines scholarly rigor with practical wisdom to help others navigate life’s difficulties and complexities. https://laurentgrenierbooks.com

Natick, South Africa, 31st March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Greater Globe today announced that accelerating geopolitical tensions in key energy-producing regions are driving a significant global shift toward solar power, as households, businesses, and governments prioritize energy independence and long-term stability.

Recent disruptions to global oil flows and growing concerns around supply security—particularly along critical transit routes—are reshaping energy consumption patterns worldwide. As a result, demand for locally generated, reliable energy sources such as solar has surged to unprecedented levels.

Across the United Kingdom and Europe, early indicators point to a clear behavioral shift. Energy providers are reporting sharp increases in solar installations, with consumers investing in larger systems and integrating complementary technologies such as heat pumps and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This trend signals more than a short-term response—it reflects a structural transformation in how energy is produced and consumed.

A Structural Shift Toward Energy Independence

For decades, natural gas has played a central role in powering economies across Europe and beyond. However, repeated geopolitical shocks have exposed the vulnerabilities of dependence on imported fossil fuels. Solar energy, by contrast, offers a compelling alternative through localized generation, price stability, and long-term cost efficiency.

Industry experts increasingly view the current environment as a tipping point—one that is accelerating renewable adoption not only for environmental reasons, but as a strategic response to energy insecurity.

Global projections reinforce this outlook. Renewable capacity is expected to grow at its fastest rate ever between 2025 and 2030, with solar leading due to its scalability and rapidly declining costs.

Greater Globe at the Forefront of Solar Expansion

As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies, Greater Globe is playing a central role in this global transition. The company has built a portfolio exceeding 1.2 GW of solar capacity and continues to expand aggressively through its partnership with Cap Energy Group.

Greater Globe recently announced multi-billion-dollar investments into new renewable developments, with a particular focus on high-growth markets. Australia, in particular, has emerged as a key region, where rising demand for solar solutions is driving rapid expansion.

“Energy security is no longer a future concern—it is a present reality shaping investment decisions worldwide,” said a spokesperson for Greater Globe. “We are seeing a fundamental shift toward decentralized, resilient energy systems, and solar is at the heart of that transformation.”

A Trillion-Dollar Energy Transition

The scale of global investment underscores the momentum behind this shift. Energy transition funding reached a record $2.3 trillion in 2025, with solar and electrification attracting the majority of capital flows. Solar installations are expected to sustain double-digit annual growth, solidifying their role as the backbone of the future energy system.

Solar as a Strategic Imperative

The implications are clear across all sectors:

• Households are adopting solar to mitigate price volatility

• Governments are accelerating renewable policies to strengthen national security

• Investors are increasing allocations to large-scale solar infrastructure

As fossil fuel markets become increasingly unpredictable, investments into solar energy stands out for reliability, scalability, and long-term return potential.

London, UK, 30th March 2026, While the majority of retail investors are losing sleep over Bitcoin’s extreme volatility and frequent liquidations, over 10 million smart investors across Europe and North America have discovered a “game-changing” strategy that completely bypasses market turbulence.

NOW DeFi, the world’s leading Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) and compliant cloud mining platform, dropped a bombshell today: The platform has completed a massive infrastructure overhaul and officially opened its institutional-grade hashrate network to global investors. The launch coincides with the deployment of 2026’s most powerful mining rigs, including the Antminer S23 Hyd (Hydro-Cooling King), Whatsminer M79S, and Avalon A16XP.

According to the latest real-world data from institutional users, top-tier hydro-cooled hashrate contracts are currently generating an astonishing $3,500 in daily passive net income!

Why is Institutional Capital Sweeping the Market?

Under Europe’s stringent ESG regulations (like MiCA) and soaring energy barriers, traditional physical mining has long been an exclusive playground for top-tier syndicates. However, NOW DeFi has completely flipped the script:

• Zero Technical Barriers: No deafening noise, no astronomical electricity bills, and no complex hardware maintenance. The moment you purchase a contract on the NOW DeFi platform, data centers powered by 100% green energy in London and New York start working for you 24/7.
• Game-Changing Hardware Efficiency: The newly integrated Antminer S23 Hyd utilizes revolutionary hydro-cooling technology, pushing the energy efficiency ratio to the absolute limit. This means your hashrate output is significantly higher than the network average for the same investment.
• Daily Withdrawals, Locked-in Profits: Say goodbye to locked funds and empty promises. NOW DeFi utilizes smart contracts for automated distribution. Every cent of your mining output is deposited into your account exactly every 24 hours, available for immediate withdrawal.

Unveiling NOW DeFi: The Compliant “Safe Haven” for 10 Million Users

To stand out in the highly critical Western financial sector, NOW DeFi relies on more than just high yields. As a global Web3 infrastructure enterprise, NOW DeFi is one of the very few compliant cloud mining platforms in the market that achieves absolute transparency between physical underlying assets and cloud data.

The platform not only holds comprehensive digital asset operating licenses but also enforces a strict third-party segregated fund custody mechanism. This means every contract you purchase is backed by real, physical mining rigs operating in compliant data centers in Berlin and New York, completely eliminating the Ponzi risks associated with traditional “cloud hashrate” platforms. Your principal and profits are protected by the highest tier of financial compliance standards.

Hashrate Contract Breakdown: How to Build a $3,500 Daily Cash Flow?

To meet the needs of varying capital sizes, NOW DeFi offers fully transparent hashrate allocation plans across multiple mainstream assets. Below are the five core profit models currently dominating the global market:

Wealth Code Tip: A single “Institutional Matrix” contract generates $870 daily. High-net-worth VIP users can effortlessly break the $3,500 daily passive income ceiling by stacking multiple matrix contracts or utilizing customized deployments!

 

The Hashrate Window is Closing Fast: How to Secure Your Passive Income?

With a global influx of 10 million users, the initial quota for European data centers—especially the highly efficient “Solana High-Frequency” and “Institutional Matrix” contracts—is being rapidly bought up by major investment firms. If you don’t want to miss the most lucrative wealth train of 2026, just follow three simple steps:

1. Secure Registration: Visit the NOW DeFi website or download the official app to create your own crypto account.
2. Hashrate Selection: Choose a spot contract in the hashrate marketplace that fits your budget (from a $100 starter pack to a $50,000 top-tier matrix).
3. Start Earning: Upon successful purchase, the underlying mining rigs are instantly activated. Check your first explosive daily profit at this exact time tomorrow!

🛡️ Risk Control & Security System: Invest with Peace of Mind

To completely eliminate investor concerns, NOW DeFi has upgraded its three core guarantees:

• 100% Hashrate Uptime Guarantee: Power outage or hardware failure? The platform promises seamless takeover by a backup hashrate pool, ensuring your daily profits are never compromised.
• Instant Withdrawals, Anywhere, Anytime: Supports BTC and major stablecoin withdrawals with zero hidden fees. Withdrawal requests are processed on-chain in seconds.
• 24/7 Exclusive Financial Advisors: The platform provides round-the-clock, multilingual VIP customer service and professional investment advisor support.

Sliema, Malta, 26th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — From 06 to 09 April, BiS SiGMA South America 2026 returns to São Paulo, Brazil for the fourth time. Over several packed days, Transamerica Expo Center will welcome more than 18,500 delegates and 250 speakers. Expect three stages, a doubled expo floor, and a programme positioned as the event’s biggest edition yet. Below are the key moments worth planning around.

Key summit activities

The programme kicks off on 06 April with a full opening day. The morning starts with the SiGMA Nexus Elite Golf Tour — São Paulo 2026, a premium format combining networking, lunch and prizes, now one of the year’s most in-demand experiences. The guest list is carefully curated – to register your interest, submit your application via the dedicated form.

Running alongside the tournament, delegate registration will take place at Boteco São Bento and is designed as a full experience in itself: Brazilian barbecue and drinks, a DJ set, and a smooth entry into networking. At the same time, guests can mark the first anniversary of Faculdade de Luta, a sports school founded by Centurion Association together with the SiGMA Foundation. Attendees will meet students, coaches and partners, hear how the initiative has made an impact, and watch a martial-arts demonstration central to the programme.

An exclusive activity is scheduled for the second half of 06 April: a flight session in the ultra-modern indoor wind tunnel at iFly Brazil. Premium and Platinum ticket holders can experience an indoor skydive in a controlled environment under professional instructor supervision. Don’t miss the grand finale: a spectacular air show where professional flight masters will push the limits of the wind tunnel with advanced aerial choreography. Organisers ask participants to confirm attendance in advance.

On 07 April, while the expo is running, a Funeral Party will take place at stand H165, featuring Avion by Lambda Gaming. Delegates can try crash-style games with a cocktail, marking the “farewell” to slow entertainment. Registration is open to all delegates. If you want a high-adrenaline reset after a dense summit schedule, the Centurion MMA fights are set for the evening of 08 April and are open to all interested attendees. By the way, we highly recommend catching the Centurion MMA Weigh-in! It will take place on the Jardins stage the day before, April 7th, from 14:25 to 14:45.

What to expect from the conference and exhibition

The business programme begins on Tuesday, 07 April, with the large-scale expo floor (with 400+ exhibitors already confirmed) and three stages hosting dozens of panels from 07 to 09 April with hundreds of speakers.

Key sessions to flag include “One year of regulation and the fifth largest global market in online betting revenue” (07 April, Itaim Stage), focused on the future of Brazil’s market. If you want a close read on how Brazil is handling regulatory change, the same stage on the same day also hosts “A global outlook, but the solution is brazilian”.

On 08 April at the Itaim Stage, speakers will address “Land-based casinos in Brazil: from proposal to practice. How can a safe and economically viable regulatory framework be created?”. Delegates working in marketing should also prioritise “Responsible advertising in the gaming and betting market in the age of algorithms”, scheduled for the Jardins Stage.

This is only a slice of a dense conference agenda, so follow updates on the summit page. The floorplan is also worth reviewing in advance. The expo will be open all three days to give delegates enough time with exhibitors. For quieter conversations, networking can continue across nine lounges designed for more comfortable meeting formats.

The summit’s B2G agenda

BiS SiGMA South America 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment for Brazil. The market is no longer debating regulation as a hypothesis; it is moving into the next phase of building a sustainable framework, including taxation, oversight, advertising rules and consumer protection.

The summit is set to host senior representatives from regulators, institutions and major organisations. Confirmed figures include Irajá Silvestre, Senator of Brazil’s Federal Senate; Daniele Correa Cardoso, Secretary of Prizes and Betting at the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA); Fabio Macorin, Undersecretary of Monitoring and Oversight (SPA); Isaac Sidney Menezes Ferreira, President of the Febraban; Ricardo Saad, President of the COAF; Renato Silva Siqueira, CEO of Caixa Loterias; Michel Ramalho, Vice President of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF); Vinicius Lummertz, former Minister of Tourism and EXAME Magazine columnist; Paulo Saad, Vice President of Grupo Bandeirantes; and Caio Porto Ferreira, Police Chief and Prosecutor at the Sports Justice Court (STJD). The lineup reflects the scale of the agenda: lawmakers, regulators, finance, lotteries, sport and major media converge in one place.

The summit is also receiving strong institutional support from regional industry bodies and diplomatic entities. These include:

• APOJA, the Paraguayan Association of Gambling Operators, which views the summit as a platform for regional cooperation, regulatory dialogue and responsible growth;

• CASCBA, the Argentine chamber representing casino halls, bingo venues and related formats, positioning the event as a forum to discuss market access, compliance, responsible gambling and international engagement;

• Fecoljuegos, the Colombian federation representing the country’s licenced games-of-chance sector;

• and the Honorary Consulate of the Federative Republic of Brazil in Malta, represented by Honorary Consul Lucimara Batista dos Reis, who links the summit’s role to stronger Brazil–Malta cooperation, transparency and regulatory integrity.

This breadth of support underlines how BiS SiGMA South America 2026 is increasingly seen not just as an expo, but as a regional entry point into the wider conversation about market rules, sustainable growth and international cooperation.

Networking, awards and evening events

Evenings at BiS SiGMA South America are expected to be as full as the daytime schedule. 06 and 07 April are reserved for awards ceremonies: the SiGMA Awards (for Platinum ticket holders) and the BiS Awards (invitation-only). A premium networking evening in a secret speakeasy bar is planned for 08 April, also for Platinum and invited guests. On 09 April, the summit closes for all participants at the Tokio Marine Hall with the official BiS SiGMA closing party.

The programme continues beyond the summit itself. On 10 April, 50 top affiliates will fly by private jet to coastal Florianópolis for an exclusive retreat featuring private dinners, rafting, a barbecue on a boat, an island cruise, and other premium activities.

Brazil’s not waiting, and neither should you. BiS SiGMA South America, 06–09 April 2026, brings 18,500 delegates, 250+ sponsors to LatAm’s gaming capital. São Paulo’s bringing more sizzle than a beachside samba. Get in early or get left behind.

Singapore, 27th March 2026, New Gold Protocol (NGP) today announced continued ecosystem expansion and the upcoming launch of its hybrid decentralized exchange, NGX, marking a strategic step toward what industry observers describe as the next phase of decentralized finance (DeFi 3.0).

As the DeFi sector transitions away from short-term yield models toward sustainable and structured systems, NGP is positioning itself as a protocol focused on long-term value, transparency, and resilience.

The protocol has grown to more than 40,000 holders, with its liquidity pool reaching approximately $6 million, reflecting increasing participation and confidence in the ecosystem.

Deflationary Model Reinforces Long-Term Sustainability

NGP operates on a deflationary economic model in which ecosystem activity contributes to reducing total token supply. To date, over 6 percent of the supply has been permanently removed, supporting scarcity and long-term value stability.

Unlike earlier DeFi models that relied heavily on inflationary rewards, NGP aligns user participation with sustainable growth.

Integrated System Balancing Liquidity and Stability

The protocol combines liquidity provisioning, reward distribution, and a dynamic treasury mechanism designed to respond to changing market conditions. This structure allows NGP to maintain system balance during both periods of growth and volatility.

Launch of NGX: A Hybrid Trading Infrastructure

A central component of NGP’s roadmap is the upcoming New Gold Exchange (NGX), a hybrid platform integrating spot-style swaps with perpetual decentralized trading.

NGX is designed to unify trading functionalities within a single ecosystem, improving capital efficiency and reducing fragmentation across DeFi markets. In addition, the platform will support project incubation, enabling new assets to be developed and launched within the ecosystem.

Governance Driven by On-Chain Participation

NGP utilizes an on-chain governance model that allows token holders to participate directly in decision-making. Governance proposals are executed transparently, ensuring alignment between the protocol and its community.

Industry Context and Positioning

As the DeFi market matures, capital is increasingly directed toward protocols with verifiable growth, sustainable tokenomics, and transparent systems. NGP’s expansion and infrastructure development reflect this broader industry shift.

“The next phase of DeFi will be defined by sustainability and real structure, rather than short-term incentives,” said a spokesperson for New Gold Protocol. “NGP is designed to evolve as long-term financial infrastructure.”

About New Gold Protocol (NGP)
