Aaron Byrnes is starting a standing pickleball meetup for players in and around Newport Beach, open to anyone who wants a game. A local game, not a private one California, USA, Sep 05, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Aaron Byrnes has played pickleball for years, alongside sailing and travel as one of his regular pursuits. He decided this year to turn a personal habit into something local players can join. Starting this season, Byrnes is committing to a recurring pickleball meetup for people in the Newport Beach area. The idea is simple: a regular time, a regular place, and an open invitation to players who want a match without needing an existing group of friends to show up with. “Most people find pickleball through someone they already know,” Byrnes said. “I wanted a version of it where you don’t n...

California, USA, Sep 05, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Karl D’Angelo has worked in plumbing since 1996 and has held a C-36 contractor license in California since 2004. For most of that time, his standard for a finished job lived in his head. He knew what “done right” looked like, but he never put it into words for anyone else to see. That changes now. D’Angelo is formalizing the standard he has always held himself to, and publishing it as a short set of commitments that customers in Sonoma County can expect from Avante’ Plumbing on every visit. “I like to feel good about the work I do, even if no one else is going to see it,” D’Angelo said. “The type of work I do, people don’t always understand the standard behind it. But I do, and now I want to say it out loud.” The four commitments D’Angelo built ...

REI Accelerator, LLC is launching a public awareness campaign to help multifamily investors spot the warning signs of unsafe off-market sourcing before capital is committed. Why this campaign, now Georgia, USA, Sep 05, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — REI Accelerator works with investors who are trying to source apartment deals outside the open market. That work runs through virtual assistant teams doing cold calling and lead generation, plus capital raising support for investors building partner networks. The company has seen a pattern across the investors it coaches. People rush toward off-market deals because they hear the phrase and assume it means a discount. It does not always mean that. It means the deal has not been tested by a broker process or public listing, and that carries its own risks ...

Texas, USA, Sep 05, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Max Mehta, a diagnostic radiologist serving hospitals across South Texas, is publishing a personal resilience framework designed to help healthcare professionals manage adversity without letting circumstances outside their control derail their well-being. The three-pillar system draws on principles from Stoic philosophy and the mental conditioning techniques used by Navy SEALs, combined with Mehta’s own experience navigating setbacks throughout his career. The framework centers on three commitments: protect the mind, strengthen the body, and measure success by internal standards rather than external benchmarks. Mehta has refined these principles over years of practice at a number of regional hospitals in Texas, as well as during his earlier tenure wi...

Canada, 5th Sep 2026 – When choosing a felt hat for men, most people focus on the crown shape, color, or material. But one of the most influential details is often overlooked: the brim width. A hat’s brim can completely change its overall character. A narrow brim can create a clean, contemporary appearance, while a wider brim often delivers a stronger Western or vintage-inspired aesthetic. Understanding how brim width affects proportion and styling can make it much easier to choose the right felt hat. Narrow Brim Felt Hats: Clean and Contemporary Narrow-brim felt hats generally have a more streamlined appearance. Their compact silhouette works particularly well with modern casual outfits, tailored clothing, and urban fashion. A men’s felt fedora with a narrow brim can be paired with a wool...

Germany, 5th Sep 2026 –  Mindflex, a Berlin-based company founded by psychologists, today announced the expanded launch of its psychological AI companion app for people who overthink. The app is available on iOS and Android with a free trial for new users.

Mindflex positions itself in a new category the team calls psychological AI: an AI companion built by clinicians for everyday reflection rather ...

As a media professional who has long followed international affairs, and as a devout Buddhist practitioner taking refuge in the Three Jewels, witnessing the recurring tragedies of self-immolation in recent years—especially the recent self-harm incident in overseas locations such as New York—fills my heart with deep grief and profound concern. Every time flames consume a human body, it represents not only the abrupt loss of a vibrant life, but also the irreparable fracturing of a family. Behind the clamor of international rhetoric, people are often swept away by political slogans while losing sight of the most foundational and inviolable pillar of all: the inherent dignity and value of human life. When extreme self-harm is cloaked in the mantle of “faith” and “resistance,” and when pure rel...

New York City, NY, 4th September 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Karunamaya Vesna Blazhevska has worked within United Nations Sustainable Development communications since 2008. Her work involves helping large, complicated ideas about the environment and international cooperation reach ordinary readers. She has decided to turn some of that thinking into a short, practical challenge that anyone can try, using seven days as the frame. The idea is simple. Each day points to one Sustainable Development Goal and one small action tied to it. Nothing on the list requires special equipment or money. Blazhevska says she designed it that way on purpose. “Big goals get people excited for a week and then they quit,” she says. “I wanted something a person could actually keep doing after the challenge ends.” The seve...
