• Matthew Lewis Labarre of Dover, New Hampshire, highlights why play-based movement can help children ages 3–5 build confidence, healthy habits, and a lifelong love of activity.

Dover, N.H, 25th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Youth sports leader and coach Matthew Lewis Labarre is encouraging families to focus on one powerful idea when introducing young children to sports: make the first experience joyful.

Labarre, co-founder of Never Too Young FC in Dover, New Hampshire, works closely with children ages three to five. Through his work with families, he has seen how early experiences with movement can shape children’s views of sports, confidence, and physical activity for years.

“At this age, it’s not about competition,” Labarre says. “It’s about creating a joyful first experience with movement.”

By focusing on playful activities rather than performance, young children develop coordination, social skills, and a sense of curiosity about movement.

Why Positive First Experiences Matter

Early childhood is a critical period for building healthy habits. Experts recommend that preschool-age children stay physically active throughout the day. Yet many children today spend more time sitting indoors than previous generations.

Encouraging playful movement early helps children develop basic motor skills and confidence in group settings.

“Kids don’t need perfect technique,” Labarre explains. “They need space to move, explore, and succeed at small things.”

When the environment supports exploration, children are more likely to participate enthusiastically and develop positive habits.

The Opportunity for Families

Many parents want to introduce their children to sports, but are unsure where to start. Labarre believes the answer is simpler than many people expect.

Young children respond best to activities that feel like games rather than structured training. Running, balancing, kicking a ball, and exploring movement through imagination can be powerful learning tools.

“If a child leaves smiling, the session worked,” Labarre says. “That’s the real outcome at this age.”

Programs that emphasize fun and encouragement can help children build both physical and social skills while also helping families connect with their communities.

A Growing Focus on Play-Based Activity

Across youth sports and early childhood education, there is increasing recognition that play-based movement supports long-term participation in physical activity.

Key insights from current research include:

• The CDC recommends preschool-age children stay physically active throughout the day to support healthy development.
  • Children who develop positive movement experiences early are significantly more likely to remain active as they grow older.
  • Play-based group activities help build social skills, cooperation, and confidence in young children.
  • Early exposure to movement can improve coordination, balance, and emotional resilience.

Labarre sees these benefits regularly in his programs.

“I’ve watched kids who were nervous to step on the field during their first session,” he says. “A few weeks later, they’re running toward the ball and cheering for their friends.”

What Families Can Do Today

Parents do not need complicated training plans to support their children’s development.

Simple daily movement activities can make a meaningful difference. Short games at the park, running challenges, or kicking a ball around the yard all help children become more familiar with movement.

Parents can also support positive experiences by encouraging effort instead of focusing on performance.

“Small wins matter,” Labarre says. “When kids feel successful early, they want to keep trying.”

These small moments of encouragement often build the foundation for long-term confidence.

Building Community Through Play

Play-based youth programs also create opportunities for families to connect with one another. Parents often meet other families at parks or sports sessions, forming relationships that extend beyond the field.

“Kids are learning how to exist in a group,” Labarre says. “They’re learning how to share space, cheer for each other, and try new things.”

Those lessons extend beyond sports and support children’s development in school and social environments.

A Positive Start That Can Last a Lifetime

For Labarre, the goal of early sports programs is not competition or early specialization. The goal is to help children discover that movement can be fun.

“Kids are naturally curious,” he says. “If you give them a place where trying feels safe, they keep coming back.”

That early sense of enjoyment can shape how children approach physical activity for years.

Call to Action

Families and caregivers are encouraged to introduce playful movement into their children’s daily routines and to seek out programs that prioritize fun, exploration, and encouragement.

Share this message with other parents and caregivers. Helping young children build positive first experiences with movement can support healthier, more confident communities for years to come.

Daily active users approach 300,000 as companies add six servers in Asia; nearly 200 streamers join CROSS Wave campaign

SEOUL, South Korea — March 24, 2026 — NEXUS and Playwith Korea said their jointly published MMORPG Seal M on CROSS posted a strong start following its global launch on March 19, with daily active users nearing 300,000 and six additional servers added for Asia in response to early demand.

The game had already shown signs of momentum before launch. During the pre-registration period, the companies ran a participation-driven mission campaign through CROSS Play, a quest-based mini app, helping the title surpass 2.2 million global pre-registrations. The companies said the result demonstrated how the platform could convert user participation into measurable pre-launch performance rather than serving only as a promotional channel.

Content distribution around the game has also expanded through CROSS Wave, the companies’ streamer platform. As of March 24, nearly 200 streamers were participating in the Seal M on CROSS campaign. The platform uses an AI-based performance analysis system that rewards contributors in proportion to their impact, allowing not only top-tier streamers but also mid-sized and smaller creators to be compensated based on performance. The companies said the structure is helping sustain interest in the game and broaden content creation around the title.

Early ranking performance has also been encouraging across several markets. Following launch, Seal M on CROSS entered the top 10 in both download and revenue rankings on major mobile app marketplaces, including Google Play and Apple’s App Store, in Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and Indonesia, according to the companies. Revenue growth has also been recorded across channels, including the game’s proprietary PC launcher and CROSS Shop, the companies’ web-based storefront.

By region, Southeast Asia accounts for the largest share of users, with Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines together making up about 60% of the game’s player base, the companies said.

The companies also said the game’s monetization infrastructure is operating in tandem with the broader CROSS platform. CROSS Shop, which provides a web-based commerce channel, and CROSS Pay, a stablecoin-based payment system with zero platform fees, are designed to improve payment convenience for users while reducing transaction-cost burdens for developers.

“The strong global interest we saw during pre-registration is now being reflected in actual operating metrics,” Playwith Korea Chief Executive Kim Hak-joon said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring user inflows and will continue working together to provide an optimized gameplay environment and meaningful content updates.”

NEXUS Chief Executive Henry Chang said the game’s early performance reflected the combination of the long-standing fan base for the Seal intellectual property and the CROSS platform’s full-stack ecosystem.

“Seal M on CROSS is showing how a structure built around user acquisition through CROSS Play, content expansion through CROSS Wave, and payment support through CROSS Shop and CROSS Pay can strengthen the global potential of a well-made game,” Chang said.

New York, New York, United States, 25th Mar 2026 – In response to the growing demand for digital workflow integration in the professional tattoo industry, Phomemo recently outlined the role of its M08F Plus Wireless Tattoo Stencil Printer within its 2026 spring equipment lineup, positioning it for use in professional tattoo workflows, including studio operations and convention settings.

The M08F Plus includes an integrated touchscreen display for real-time status monitoring, a 203 DPI tattoo-specific print head, and wireless connectivity via a mobile application. The device supports portable stencil printing and can be used as an alternative to manual tracing methods.

Smart Touchscreen Interaction for Faster Workflow

One of the key features of the M08F Plus is its 2.01-inch LCD smart touch screen, which allows artists to interact with the device during the printing process. Instead of relying entirely on a connected phone or computer, users can check device status and basic settings directly on the printer.
Real-time information such as battery level, Bluetooth connection, and printing progress can be viewed at a glance, making it easier to manage printing during busy studio sessions or conventions.

The screen also helps simplify everyday troubleshooting. Basic guidance functions and quick device checks can be accessed directly from the printer interface, allowing artists to resolve common issues without interrupting their workflow.

App-Enhanced Workflow with AI-Assisted Tools

The M08F Plus can be used with the Phomemo App, which offers a range of design and layout tools to help artists prepare stencil designs more efficiently.

Within the app, artists can adjust image contrast, refine line clarity, and optimize reference images before printing. AI-assisted image tools can help simplify reference images and convert photos into cleaner stencil-ready outlines, simplifying preparation for detailed designs.

For larger tattoo compositions—such as sleeves or back pieces—the app also supports automatic image splitting, allowing oversized designs to be divided into multiple aligned sections that can be printed separately and assembled accurately during stencil transfer.

Combined with the printer’s 203 DPI thermal printing resolution, these tools help ensure that fine lines and intricate details remain clear throughout the stencil preparation process.

Anti-Wrinkle Paper Handling

Tattoo transfer paper is multi-layered and sensitive to heat and pressure. In traditional stencil printers, paper wrinkling can occasionally distort a design or waste transfer sheets.

The M08F Plus addresses this challenge with patented anti-wrinkle technology, designed to help maintain smoother paper feeding during the printing process. This helps reduce the risk of creasing and ensures stencil outputs remain flat and consistent.

For artists preparing multiple stencil versions before a session, reliable paper handling can reduce preparation time and material waste.

Built for Mobile Tattoo Professionals

Modern tattoo artists often work across multiple environments—from studios to conventions and guest spots. The M08F Plus is designed with this mobile workflow in mind.

Weighing approximately 745 g (less than 2 lbs) and measuring about 1.5 inches in thickness, the printer is compact enough to fit easily into a travel case alongside tattoo machines and other essential tools.

A built-in 1200 mAh lithium battery supports extended portable use, allowing artists to print stencils without needing a constant power connection.

The device also offers flexible connectivity. Artists can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to iOS and Android devices, or use the USB-C interface for wired connections with Windows or macOS laptops, making it adaptable to different working setups.

Product Availability

As part of the brand’s Spring 2026 offering, Phomemo has introduced pricing for the M08F Plus, aiming at tattoo artists to  prepare for upcoming tattoo conventions and busy seasonal schedules.

The printer is currently listed at approximately $139.99, compared with its regular retail price of $233.99.

Each package includes a carrying pouch, sample transfer paper, and a USB-C adapter, helping artists to use to device without purchasing additional accessories.

The M08F Plus is available through the Phomemo Official Store and Amazon, where artists can also find compatible stencil paper and additional printing supplies.

Michigan, USA, 25th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — In modern dentistry, many conversations focus on repairing damage. Fillings replace decay, crowns restore broken teeth, and advanced procedures address long-standing oral health issues. While these treatments remain important, some dentists believe the profession should place far greater emphasis on a different concept: arresting disease before it progresses.

Charles Howenstine DDS, a Stevensville, Michigan dentist and practice owner, believes that one of the most important shifts in dental care is recognizing the power of early intervention and preventive strategies designed to arrest dental disease.

“In dentistry, the word ‘arrest’ has a very specific meaning,” says Dr. Howenstine. “When we say a condition is arrested, we mean the disease process has stopped progressing. The damage is no longer actively spreading.”

This concept can apply to several common oral health issues. For example, an arrested caries lesion refers to tooth decay that is visible but no longer actively damaging the tooth. The bacteria responsible for the decay are no longer progressing deeper into the enamel or dentin. Similarly, early gum inflammation can sometimes be managed in ways that arrest the progression toward more severe periodontal disease.

According to Dr. Howenstine, focusing on arresting disease early can significantly change how patients experience dental care.

A Shift From Reaction to Prevention
Dr. Howenstine’s perspective comes from an unusual professional background that includes both finance and dentistry. Raised in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, he graduated from Rice Lake High School in 1999 and earned a Finance degree from Marquette University in 2003. After working at Capstone Investments, he later returned to school through the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and completed dental training at the Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2011.

That early experience in finance shaped how he evaluates risk and long-term outcomes.

“In finance, small problems can grow quickly if they aren’t addressed early,” he explains. “Dental disease works in a very similar way. If you can arrest the issue early, you prevent much larger consequences later.”

Following graduation from dental school, Dr. Howenstine practiced in Wisconsin with Midwest Dental in Kimberly before relocating to Stevensville, Michigan in 2012 to purchase and operate his own dental practice.

Since then, his clinical approach has focused on identifying early warning signs of oral health problems and applying treatment strategies that arrest disease progression before extensive repair becomes necessary.

The Science Behind Arrested Dental Disease
Dental research increasingly supports the idea that many oral health conditions can be stabilized when identified early.

Tooth decay, for example, is not always an unstoppable process. In its early stages, enamel demineralization can sometimes be reversed or stabilized through improved oral hygiene, fluoride exposure, dietary changes, and professional dental monitoring.

When those steps are successful, the decay may remain visible but inactive. In clinical terms, the lesion becomes arrested.

The same principle applies to gum disease. Early gum inflammation, also known as gingivitis, can often be arrested through improved oral hygiene practices and routine dental care before it progresses to periodontitis, a more severe condition that damages the bone supporting the teeth.

Dr. Howenstine believes the dental profession should talk more openly about these possibilities.

“Patients often think dentistry is only about fixing things once they break,” he says. “But many dental problems can be arrested long before they require major procedures.”

Communication as a Clinical Tool
One of the key elements of Dr. Howenstine’s practice philosophy is straightforward communication.

He believes patients make better decisions when they clearly understand their oral health status and the steps that can arrest disease progression.

“A lot of dentistry comes down to communication,” he explains. “If patients understand what early decay looks like, or what early gum inflammation means, they can take steps that help keep those problems arrested.”

This approach also emphasizes realistic treatment planning. Instead of rushing toward complex procedures, the goal is often to stabilize the condition first and monitor it over time.

Short visits, consistent monitoring, and patient education can make a significant difference.

“Small interventions done consistently can keep a lot of dental problems arrested,” Dr. Howenstine notes.

A Practical Philosophy for Modern Dentistry
Running a dental practice also requires balancing clinical care with operational discipline. Since purchasing his Stevensville practice in 2012, Dr. Howenstine has applied the same methodical approach to practice management that he applies to dentistry.

Clear documentation, structured workflows, and consistent routines help support both staff and patients.

These systems allow the practice to maintain accurate records, coordinate care effectively, and follow up on conditions that require monitoring to ensure they remain arrested.

“Consistency matters,” he says. “Whether it’s patient care or practice operations, the goal is to identify issues early and keep them from becoming larger problems.”

Beyond the Dental Chair
Dr. Howenstine’s personal interests reflect the same mindset that shapes his professional philosophy. Over the years, he has participated in varsity hockey and soccer, trained for half marathons, crewed on a racing sailboat, and competed in long-distance cross-country ski races.

These activities emphasize preparation, discipline, and endurance.

In many ways, those principles mirror the concept of arresting dental disease.

“Long-distance sports teach you that small habits repeated every day lead to better results,” he says. “The same is true for oral health.”

Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits may seem simple, but those habits can arrest the early stages of dental disease and prevent much more complex problems later.

Rethinking the Future of Dentistry
As dental technology continues to advance, treatments will undoubtedly become more sophisticated. Yet Dr. Howenstine believes the most meaningful progress in dentistry may come from shifting the focus toward prevention and early intervention.

Rather than waiting for damage to become severe enough to require extensive procedures, dentists and patients can work together to arrest disease before it progresses.

“Dentistry doesn’t always have to be about repairing damage,” he says. “Often the best outcome is when we arrest the problem early and never let it reach that point.”

For patients, that philosophy can translate into fewer complex procedures, lower long-term costs, and healthier smiles that last for decades.

For the dental profession, it may represent a renewed focus on one of the field’s most powerful tools: prevention.

As Dr. Howenstine puts it, “If we can arrest dental disease early, we can change the entire trajectory of oral health.”

Charlotte, NC, 25th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — For decades, service-based professionals have built businesses around one core model: trading time for money. Consultants charge hourly rates, agencies bill monthly retainers tied to labor, and freelancers increase income primarily by working more hours. While this model has supported millions of professionals, entrepreneur and business strategist Paul Bocco believes the model itself is fundamentally flawed for long-term growth.

According to Paul Bocco, the future of service businesses will not be built on selling hours. It will be built on selling systems.

As the Founder of AI Profit Consulting, Paul Bocco is helping experienced professionals pivot into a rapidly growing opportunity: building recurring-revenue businesses by selling AI-powered automation systems to small and medium-sized companies.

His message to consultants, coaches, marketers, and sales professionals is simple but disruptive.

“Stop selling your time,” Paul Bocco often tells clients. “Start selling solutions that run without you.”

The Limits of the Hourly Model
Paul Bocco’s perspective comes from more than two decades of entrepreneurship. Since beginning his business journey in 2000, he has built six companies to multi–seven-figure revenue and worked with over 1,000 business owners across industries including marketing, e-commerce, coaching, and consumer financial services.

Throughout those years, he noticed a pattern.

Even successful service professionals eventually hit the same ceiling.

Their revenue is capped by how many hours they can personally work or manage. Growth often requires hiring employees, increasing operational complexity, and managing large teams. Profit margins shrink as labor costs rise, and burnout becomes common.

Paul Bocco believes AI is changing that equation.

“Technology is finally allowing small teams and even solo consultants to deliver massive value without massive workloads,” he explains.

Automation systems powered by artificial intelligence can now handle tasks that once required entire departments: customer communication, lead qualification, appointment booking, marketing follow-ups, and internal workflow management.

For businesses struggling to keep up with demand, these tools are not just convenient. They are transformative.

And that creates a new opportunity for consultants who understand how to implement them.

Selling Systems Instead of Services
At the core of Paul Bocco’s philosophy is a shift from labor-based services to results-driven systems.

Instead of offering ongoing hourly consulting, professionals can design AI-powered automation solutions that solve specific operational problems inside a business. Once implemented, these systems continue delivering value every day.

The result is a business model that produces recurring revenue without requiring constant manual work.

Through AI Profit Consulting, Paul Bocco trains sales professionals, consultants, and business owners to build automation consulting practices centered around this model.

Clients learn how to identify operational bottlenecks inside small and medium-sized businesses and implement AI solutions that improve efficiency, increase sales, or reduce labor costs.

In many cases, the systems deliver six-figure annual value to the companies using them.

“Businesses are already paying employees to do repetitive work that software can now handle faster and more accurately,” Paul Bocco says. “If you can implement the right system, the financial impact for the client can be enormous.”

Because of that impact, these automation solutions can command premium consulting fees and ongoing management retainers.

Paul Bocco notes that many of the systems his clients deploy add $150,000 or more in annual value per business.

“That level of ROI changes the entire sales conversation,” he explains. “You’re not selling hours. You’re selling outcomes.”

A New Opportunity for Experienced Professionals
One of the most surprising aspects of the AI automation consulting boom is who is best positioned to succeed in it.

According to Paul Bocco, the ideal candidates are not necessarily programmers or engineers. Instead, they are experienced sales professionals, consultants, and industry experts who already understand business problems.

“They already know how companies operate,” Paul Bocco says. “They understand where inefficiencies exist. AI tools simply give them a new way to solve those problems.”

Through his coaching program, participants learn how to package automation solutions, position them in the marketplace, and build consulting offers that generate recurring monthly revenue.

The goal is to help professionals transition from selling legacy products or traditional services to owning a modern AI-driven consulting business under the AI Profit Consultant brand.

While Paul Bocco previously built communities such as the Christian Business Incubator and Kingdom Business Incubator to serve faith-driven entrepreneurs, his current focus is centered on the AI Profit Consultant platform, which helps professionals launch and scale AI-powered consulting businesses.

Paul Bocco believes this shift represents one of the biggest entrepreneurial opportunities of the next decade.

“AI is moving faster than most businesses can adapt,” he says. “The people who understand how to implement it will be incredibly valuable.”

Systems Thinking From a Veteran Entrepreneur
Paul Bocco’s approach is rooted in his background in direct-response marketing and sales strategy.

Over the years, he has built a reputation for helping business owners focus on scalable systems rather than short-term tactics. His work has generated more than 300 video testimonials from clients who credit his frameworks for measurable growth.

This systems-focused mindset is what led Paul Bocco to recognize the potential of AI automation early. In a recently shared video discussing the Kingdom Business Incubator community, Paul Bocco reflects on how earlier initiatives helped entrepreneurs develop business skills and faith-driven leadership lessons that now inform his latest venture, AI Profit Consultant.

While many entrepreneurs initially viewed AI tools as novelty technologies, Bocco saw them as operational infrastructure.

“When you combine automation with strong marketing and sales processes, you can create businesses that scale much faster and with fewer people,” he says.

That philosophy now shapes the training inside AI Profit Consulting, where participants learn not only how to deploy AI tools but also how to structure profitable consulting offers around them.

A Faith-Driven Approach to Business
Despite his technology-focused work, Paul Bocco describes himself as a faith-driven entrepreneur.

He has previously built two businesses serving Christian entrepreneurs and continues to bring values such as integrity, stewardship, and service into the way he mentors business owners.

For him, business success is not just about revenue growth but also about impact.

“Entrepreneurship gives people the ability to create opportunity for themselves and others,” Paul Bocco says. “When done with integrity, it becomes a way to serve.”

That mindset also shapes how he works with clients. Many of the professionals entering his program are looking for more than just a profitable business model. They are seeking a way to build something meaningful and sustainable.

From Buffalo Roots to the AI Frontier
Originally from Buffalo, New York, Paul Bocco now operates from Charlotte, North Carolina, where he leads trainings, mentors clients, and continues developing new frameworks for AI-driven consulting businesses.

A graduate of SUNY Fredonia with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, he credits his analytical education with helping him approach business challenges methodically.

At the same time, he describes himself as a natural introvert who learned to step into leadership roles out of necessity as his businesses grew.

Today, that leadership extends to a global community of professionals learning how to build AI consulting practices under his guidance.

Outside of business, Paul Bocco is a devoted husband and father of two. He is also a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan and spends time coaching in his son’s flag football league.

The Next Evolution of Service Businesses
The rise of AI automation is already transforming how companies operate. Tasks that once required large teams can now be handled by software systems working around the clock.

For entrepreneurs like Paul Bocco, the shift represents more than just a technological upgrade. It represents a new economic model for service professionals.

Instead of scaling by adding employees, consultants can scale by building systems.

Instead of selling hours, they can sell outcomes.

And instead of chasing one-off projects, they can build predictable recurring revenue.

“Every major technology shift creates new industries,” Paul Bocco says. “AI automation consulting is one of them.”

For professionals willing to adapt, the opportunity may be one of the most significant business transformations in decades.
