  • CCM Magazine Reveals Reach Records Artist 1K Phew as January Cover Story

    When we hear a truly unique voice at CCM Magazine, our goal is always to find the most meaningful ways for audiences to connect with that artist.”
    — Logan Sekulow, CCM Magazine Co-Editor

    NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CCM Magazine has revealed Reach Records artist 1K Phew as the cover story for January. The Atlanta-based rapper who blends trap production with faith-based storytelling sat down with CCM Magazine for an extended interview, and taped exclusive in-studio performances that will be available exclusively on CCM’s YouTube and at CCMMagazine.com.

    “Being on the cover of CCM Magazine is wild to me,” says 1K Phew. “To be here now feels like a God dream! This ain’t just about me, it’s about joy, faith, and bringing people together. I want people to laugh, feel something real, and remember that the party doesn’t stop when you’re walking with purpose. I’m grateful for the moment and excited for everyone to experience what we cooked up. Happy Phew Year everybody!”

    The January rollout will include exclusive content across CCM’s platforms:
    * Longform Cover Story & Interview Release – Wednesday, January 7
    * Exclusive Performance available exclusively on CCM’s YouTube channel and CCMMagazine.com – Friday, January 9
    * Additional bonus content will be unveiled throughout the month

    “When we hear a truly unique voice at CCM Magazine, our goal is always to find the most meaningful ways for audiences to connect with that artist,” says CCM Co-Editor, Logan Sekulow. “Our cover stories spotlight legends, breakout stars, and creators we believe deserve to be seen and heard by a wider audience. While 1K Phew is no stranger to the Christian hip-hop world, his voice deserves to resonate across the entire Christian music landscape. He is authentic, honest, and unfiltered. His music and personality balance humor and heartbreak in a way that feels deeply human. We couldn’t imagine a better artist to usher in the new year than 1K Phew, our first hip-hop and gospel rap cover artist since relaunching CCM Magazine.”

    Adds CCM Co-Editor, Amanda Sekulow: “The whole shoot felt like the end of the best party, confetti on the floor, noisemakers everywhere, and somehow 1K Phew was still keeping the energy alive. That became the concept. Phew brings so much joy and honesty into every room, and watching him perform live, especially ‘Move It,’ was unreal. With the song taking off again in its new version with Forrest Frank, this Cover Story feels like a party you’ll never forget.”

    Under new ownership, CCM Magazine relaunched in August 2025 with Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman on the cover, followed by cover stories featuring Megan Woods, Third Day, Katy Nichole, and Danny Gokey. With each new cover story, CCM Magazine continues its mission of honoring the artists who laid the groundwork for Contemporary Christian Music while shining a spotlight on the next generation carrying it forward. New content is released daily on the website and social media.

    Originally founded in 1978, CCM Magazine was the first publication to coin the phrase “CCM” for Contemporary Christian Music, covering the Jesus Music movement and the rise of artists who would go on to define a billion-dollar industry. Under new ownership by Logan and Amanda Sekulow, CCM is reimagined for the digital age, building an interactive network of stories, interviews, performances, podcasts, and exclusive content for today’s Christian music audience.

  • Entanglement Completes Acquisition of Applied Ocean Sciences

    Uniting Quantum-Driven AI with World-Class Ocean Science to Solve Earth-Scale Problems In a Time That Matters

    AOS was founded to push the limits of what’s possible, combining our teams accelerates that vision—bringing next-gen computing and quantum-enabled AI together to unlock entirely new capabilities.”
    — Dr. Christopher Verlinden

    MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Entanglement, Inc. today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Applied Ocean Sciences (AOS), a leading ocean science and ocean acoustics company with deep expertise spanning environmental science, maritime operations, and large-scale sensing and modeling.

    The acquisition meaningfully expands Entanglement’s scientific and technical depth, growing the company’s team to include 21 world-class ocean scientists and acoustics experts, alongside differentiated intellectual property and multiple active, revenue-generating programs already in market. Applied Ocean Sciences will operate as an Entanglement company, strengthening the firm’s portfolio of applied intelligence platforms across environmental, maritime, and dual-use domains.

    Applied Ocean Sciences’ work spans environmental science and conservation, atmospheric science, physical oceanography, biological oceanography, and maritime and defense applications. These capabilities support complex sensing, modeling, and decision-making challenges across ocean, atmosphere, and increasingly space-enabled Earth observation systems.

    AOS has a long history of work with government agencies and research institutions, including the World Wildlife Fund, U.S. Navy, DARPA, NOAA, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and the Office of Naval Research. Its scientific collaborations also include globally respected institutions such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Walter Munk Foundation for the Ocean.

    “This is a defining moment for Entanglement, and I’m proud to welcome AOS into the Entanglement family,” said Jason Turner, Chairman and CEO of Entanglement. “At its core, this acquisition is about bringing together extraordinary people. The AOS team represents an unmatched concentration of scientific talent and real-world domain expertise across ocean, atmospheric, and biological systems. By combining their work with Entanglement’s quantum logic, AI and advanced computing, we can solve problems that were previously out of reach—delivering trusted high-performance intelligence at a scale and speed not possible before, whether advancing environmental stewardship, improving maritime safety, or enabling critical decision-making when time truly matters.”

    By integrating AOS’s deep domain science with Entanglement’s Quantum Logic Core™, a proprietary approach that integrates quantum logic, advanced artificial intelligence, and next-generation computing, the combined organization is uniquely positioned to address classes of problems that have historically been computationally intractable. These capabilities enable faster, higher-fidelity insights for environmental response, climate resilience, maritime safety, and mission-critical operations. The two companies also plan to collaborate on a growing portfolio of space-based and space-enabled applications, where oceanic, atmospheric, and orbital data converge to improve Earth systems understanding.

    “Applied Ocean Sciences was founded to push the limits of what’s possible and get breakthrough technology into the hands of those solving the ocean’s toughest challenges,” said Dr. Christopher Verlinden, Chief Technology Officer of Applied Ocean Sciences and now Chief Technologist at Entanglement. “Combining our teams with Entanglement accelerates that vision—bringing next-generation computing, quantum logic, and AI together to unlock entirely new capabilities. This allows us to expand our work across ocean, atmosphere, and space-enabled Earth systems, delivering insight faster and at a scale that fundamentally changes how decisions are made.”

    The acquisition supports Entanglement’s broader strategy to build vertically integrated and intelligent products and applications that unify advanced computing, artificial intelligence, sensing, and domain-specific science across environmental, maritime, infrastructure, and dual-use applications.

  • Training Firm Launches New Loan Officer Program

    Worthy Performance Group is helping loan officers get 2026 started right.

    If loan officers don’t start speaking to prospects confidently, they’ll lose mortgage business to the big IMBs and mortgage servicers who have been in touch with them for the past year or more.”

The program was developed by Worthy Performance Group co-founder and StoryBrand Certified Guide, Jamie Lasher.

Our program helps them do that.”

  • Renogy Named Top Off-Grid Power Solution 2025 by Energy Tech Review

    The award recognizes Renogy’s integrated, system-level approach to delivering reliable off-grid energy solutions worldwide.

    Energy is the foundation of freedom, and we will continue expanding access to reliable off-grid power so more communities can live and build on their own terms.”
    — Dr. Yi Li, the founder and CEO of Renogy

    ONTARIO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Renogy, a global leader in off-grid energy solutions, has been named Top Off-Grid Power Solution 2025 by Energy Tech Review, a respected authority in the energy technology sector. The recognition underscores Renogy’s continued commitment to making energy independence simple, reliable, and accessible through innovative, system-level power solutions.

    Once considered a niche for campers and remote communities, off-grid energy is rapidly becoming a mainstream lifestyle choice.

Renogy is responding to this shift by developing fully integrated off-grid energy solutions designed to support mobile living, remote work, outdoor exploration, and independent power generation across diverse environments.

    Renogy’s ISO-certified manufacturing facility spans 55,000 square meters and is supported by over USD 150 million in investment, positioning manufacturing as a strategic foundation for quality control, innovation delivery, and scalable growth.

    By aligning manufacturing capabilities closely with R&D and product engineering, Renogy ensures that advanced energy technologies are brought to market with consistency, reliability, and speed. Working alongside OEMs, installers, and global distribution partners, including manufacturers across the Recreational Vehicles, marine, and special vehicle segments, as well as leading retail and dealer networks, Renogy delivers trusted off-grid power solutions for consumer and commercial markets worldwide.

    While many companies in the off-grid space focus on individual components, Renogy differentiates itself through a holistic, system-driven approach. By offering fully integrated power systems supported by smart energy management and localized customer support, Renogy prioritizes usability, long-term reliability, and trust. This approach enables users and partners across the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan, and emerging markets to adopt off-grid energy with confidence.

    “Off-grid power is not just about disconnecting from the grid—it’s about redefining how people live, move, and thrive in a world that is no longer bound by fixed infrastructure,” said Dr. Yi Li, Founder and CEO of Renogy. “Energy is the foundation of freedom, and we will continue expanding access to reliable off-grid power so more communities can live and build on their own terms.”

It reinforces the company’s belief that when energy becomes simpler, smarter, and more reliable, people gain the freedom to explore new ways of living, working, and moving—without compromise.

  • Qualified IT Technical Training Schools Can Now Be Paid with 529 Savings Plans

    A 529 Savings plan is operated by a state or educational institution, to make it easier to save for college and now IT Training courses.

    This is a better choice for IT education” said Richard Rodgers, President & CEO of CED Solutions. “An IT degree could cost between $100,000 and $400,000 for a 4-year degree.”
    — Richard Rodgers

    BOZEMAN, MT, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — “This is a better choice for IT education” said Richard Rodgers, President & CEO of CED Solutions. “An IT degree could cost between $100,000 and $400,000 for a 4-year degree. A full 3-4 month IT Certification program obtaining up to 8 different IT Certifications at CED Solutions would cost less than $25,000!”

    Choose programs such as the Cyber Security Professional, Cyber Security Manager, Help Desk/Network Support Professional, and IT Network Professional.

    Most all of the Titans in the Tech Industry left college in their Sophomore or Junior year to pursue success outside of college including Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Larry Ellison and many others.

    Over 50,000 Students Trained in IT Technical Training
    CED Solutions has had more than 50,000 students attend IT Technical Training over the past 25 years. CED Solutions has been working with the VA for more than 23 years, providing training through the VA’s Post 9/11 and other plans. All of CED Solutions instructors have taught for more than 18 years. Live online 5-day courses for full Certification are held every month. The Certification exams for each course is included. Students may re-attend the course at no charge.

    What is a 529 plan?
    A plan operated by a state or educational institution, with tax advantages and potentially other incentives to make it easier to save for college and other post-secondary training, or for tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school for a designated beneficiary, such as a child or grandchild.

    Main Advantage of a Typical 529 Plan
    Thanks to new language in the H.R. 1 budget reconciliation bill recently signed into law, 529 savings plans can now serve as a tool for new avenues of professional development. The updated rules open 529 funds to pay for eligible credential programs and nondegree training—and almost needless to say, that’s a major boon for tech pros who want to boost their skills.

    If you’re a software engineer, IT help desk technician, or other tech specialist, the opportunity is clear: you now have a tax-advantaged method to fund the certifications and skills needed to advance your career.

    Bottom Line
    The 529 savings plan—long viewed as a way for parents to pay for their kids’ college tuition more efficiently—is now an even stronger way for people to fund all kinds of upskilling and training, including certifications and non-degree training programs. It’s a game-changer for tech pros… and for companies, it’s a powerful tool in the competition for talent.

    Most of the IT Technical Courses and Certifications are now eligible to be paid by 529 savings plans. Select your program and contact your plan to enroll your student and use this new benefit.

    Helping clients manage spatial data from pre-design through facility operations with structured digital twin strategies

    Our role is to help clients plan for that future by defining how their data evolves from early design through ongoing operations.”
    — John Russo

    TUSTIN, CA, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Architectural Resource Consultants (ARC) has announced an expansion of its BIM consulting services, helping organizations manage the growing complexity of building documentation and data across every stage of a facility’s lifecycle.
