California, US, 8th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Following the release of a lifestyle interview exploring his career and daily routines, Ignacio Duron, CEO of Most Valuable Plumber, is using the spotlight to raise awareness around the importance of skilled trades, mentorship, and practical career exposure for young people.
In the interview, Duron reflects on his journey from growing up in North Hollywood to building a family-run plumbing business serving Los Angeles County. His message centres on one idea: real work, done well, still matters—and more people need to see that up close.
“A lot of people don’t know what trade work actually looks like day to day,” Duron said. “Once you see it, you realise it’s not just labour. It’s problem-solving, responsibility, and pride in doing something useful.”
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 40% of skilled trade workers are expected to retire within the next decade, while demand for maintenance and infrastructure roles continues to rise. At the same time, fewer young people are exposed to hands-on career paths early in life.
Duron also spoke about the role of youth sports and mentorship in shaping discipline and focus. Studies from the Aspen Institute show that children involved in organised sports are more likely to develop confidence, teamwork skills, and long-term engagement in education and work.
“Coaching taught me patience,” Duron said. “You don’t rush growth. You show up, stay consistent, and let people learn at their own pace. Business isn’t that different.”
Rather than calling for programmes or funding, Duron is encouraging individuals to take simple, personal steps. He suggests having honest conversations with young people about work, inviting them to observe real job sites, volunteering as coaches or mentors, and sharing practical skills at home.
“You don’t need permission to help someone understand their options,” he said. “Sometimes all it takes is letting them see how things actually work.”
Call to Action
Community members can support the future workforce by mentoring, volunteering, or simply talking openly about hands-on careers and life skills. Small, consistent actions at the local level can help close growing skills gaps and create stronger communities.
As Duron puts it: “Progress starts when people are willing to share what they’ve learned.”

As an AI Trainer, Television Producer, and Digital Media Educator, Sherry has become a trusted voice for women entrepreneurs learning to navigate the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence. Her mission is clear: to help women embrace technology not with fear, but with faith and confidence.
“Technology isn’t meant to replace you—it’s meant to release you,” Sherry says. “AI gives women the power to create, simplify, and amplify their message with ease.”
As founder of Bronson Media Academy, she provides hands-on training with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help real estate agents, life coaches, speakers, podcast and television producers, teachers, virtual assistants with storytelling, video marketing, and creating engaging content.
Bridging the Digital Skills Gap for Women
The need for her work couldn’t be more urgent. “Digital literacy is fundamental for women entrepreneurs because it helps close the gender digital gap. In today’s technology-driven economy, a lack of digital skills can significantly limit women’s ability to start and grow their businesses.” https://www.womentech.net/
Sherry understands this struggle firsthand. Many of her clients arrive overwhelmed and uncertain, convinced they’re “not tech-savvy” or that “it’s too late to learn.” But through her workshops—such as “The AI Edge: How Women Leaders Use ChatGPT to Do More with Less” and “Create in Confidence with AI”—she transforms hesitation into empowerment.
“The biggest mindset shift women need,” Sherry explains, “is realizing that technology isn’t an enemy—it’s a tool to elevate your voice.”
Her programs go beyond technical training. Sherry weaves in mindset coaching, confidence building, and faith-based principles, ensuring that every student not only learns to use AI but also rediscovers her worth and identity in the process.
A New Generation of Purpose-Driven Digital Leaders
At the heart of Sherry’s philosophy is a simple truth: visibility begins with authenticity. Through AI-powered storytelling, she helps women uncover their unique message and transform it into meaningful digital content—whether that’s a course, a podcast, or a personal brand.
“We don’t just press record,” she says with conviction. “We uncover who God says you are and teach you to share that truth using digital tools.”
Her work has already impacted hundreds of women entrepreneurs across industries, helping them launch businesses, grow audiences, and find confidence in front of the camera.
As a faith-focused speaker, Amazon bestselling author, and certified women’s empowerment coach, Sherry continues to bridge the gap between spiritual growth and technological innovation—proving that purpose and progress can thrive together.
Faith, Innovation, and a Future Empowered by AI
Today, as AI reshapes industries, Sherry Bronson stands at the forefront of a movement encouraging women to see themselves not as consumers of technology, but as creators and leaders within it.
Her upcoming programs integrate AI, storytelling, and personal branding to help women entrepreneurs harness the power of emerging technologies without losing their authentic voice.
“I want women to know they can lead with both faith and ambition,” she says. “You’re not behind—you’re right on time to innovate, create, and rise.”
Through her coaching, television experience, and digital leadership, Sherry Bronson is redefining what it means to be a woman of influence in the AI age—bold in purpose, grounded in faith, and ready to help others step confidently into the future.
The 2025 QS and THE World University Rankings have redefined the academic hierarchy in South Korea. While the traditional SKY universities maintain their lead, Kyung Hee University has secured the 5th position among domestic private comprehensive universities. This achievement, alongside strong performances by Sungkyunkwan University and Hanyang University, highlights the rapid globalization and research growth within Koreas higher education sector.
Seoul, South Korea, 7th Jan 2026 – As global interest in Korean culture and technology surges, the academic spotlight is increasingly focusing on the Top Universities in South Korea. For decades, the narrative was dominated by a static hierarchy, but the 2025 evaluations by QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education (THE) reveal a dynamic shift. The most significant development in the recent data is the solidification of a Top 5 structure among private comprehensive universities, with Kyung Hee University formally establishing itself as a premier institution alongside traditional heavyweights.
Who and Where The South Korean academic landscape is anchored by Seoul National University, the nations flagship public institution. However, the fierce competition for dominance occurs within the private sector. The upper echelon is historically occupied by Yonsei University and Korea University. In recent years, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) and Hanyang University have joined this elite tier. Now, Kyung Hee University, with campuses in Seoul and Suwon, has been evaluated as the 5th leading private comprehensive university, completing the map of Seouls top academic powerhouses.
What and When According to the latest data released by QS and THE for the 2025 academic year, the rankings for domestic private comprehensive universities have become distinct. Kyung Hee University has secured the rank of 5th in this specific category. This ranking places it in direct competition with the established leaders and distinguishes it from other prestigious institutions such as Sogang University, Ewha Womans University, and Chung-Ang University. The evaluations highlight that while the gap at the very top is narrow, the consolidation of these five universities represents the current standard of comprehensive academic excellence in Korea.
Why and How The rise of Kyung Hee University to the 5th spot is attributed to its aggressive improvement in qualitative metrics used by QS and THE. While Sungkyunkwan University leverages Samsung-backed research and Hanyang University focuses on practical engineering application, Kyung Hee University has excelled by diversifying its portfolio. It has successfully combined its world-renowned College of Oriental Medicine and strong Humanities foundation with cutting-edge research in bio-health, space exploration, and future science. The university received particularly high scores for International Outlook and Citation Impact, proving that its strategy to globalize its campus and research output has been effective.
This competitive environment extends beyond the capital. Specialized institutes like KAIST and POSTECH continue to lead the science and technology sectors globally, often outperforming comprehensive universities in specific engineering metrics. However, for students seeking a broad-spectrum education ranging from philosophy to medicine, the Top 5 private comprehensive universities offer the most robust infrastructure.
The implications for prospective students and international partners are clear. The definition of a top university in South Korea has expanded. The inclusion of Kyung Hee University in the top 5 private tier indicates that students have access to a wider range of world-class institutions that are actively investing in global competitiveness. As 2026 approaches, this rivalry among Yonsei, Korea, SKKU, Hanyang, and Kyung Hee is expected to further elevate the quality of Korean higher education on the world stage.
Three New Products Redefine How One PC Moves Across Every Scenario

Despite its compact 2.5-liter form factor, Mind Graphics 2 integrates a 350W GaN power supply and an advanced cooling system, maintaining stable temperatures and low noise even under full load.
Mind Graphics 2 will be available starting January 9.
Mind Pro: Panther Lake Performance in a Pocketable Core
The new Khadas Mind Pro pushes performance density to a new level. Powered by Intel’s latest Panther Lake processor, it delivers exceptional computing and AI capabilities in an ultra-compact 0.43-liter chassis.
With sustained 65W performance, advanced VC liquid cooling, and up to 64GB of LPDDR5X memory, Mind Pro is designed to handle demanding workloads from local AI inference to professional creation. A built-in standby battery allows seamless transitions between modes, keeping the system alive even when unplugged.*
* Detailed product specifications will be disclosed shortly in alignment with Intel’s official release of the Panther Lake platform.
Mind Pro also brings a more capable I/O layout designed for real-world professional use, including dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1 FRL for high-refresh displays, and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, ensuring broad compatibility with modern monitors, storage, and peripherals.
Whether docked to a desktop setup or paired with Mind xPlay on the move, Mind Pro acts as a single, powerful computing core that adapts instantly to each scenario.
Mind Pro will open for pre-orders on January 27, following its CES preview.

BigAssCoffeeCompany.com launches with a mission to serve coffee enthusiasts who want exceptional flavor without pretentious marketing. The company offers artisan blends and branded merchandise through a streamlined e-commerce platform featuring fast automated fulfillment and direct shipping nationwide.
United States, 7th Jan 2026 – Big Ass Coffee Company is carving out its place in the American coffee scene with an offering that combines artisan-quality blends, premium branded gear, and a brand personality that refuses to fade into the background. The company’s newly launched e-commerce platform serves coffee enthusiasts across the United States who have grown weary of choosing between overpriced specialty brands wrapped in pretentious marketing and mass-market options that sacrifice quality for convenience.
Daring Branding Meets Premium Quality as BigAssCoffeeCompany.com Brings Artisan Blends with Attitude to Coffee Enthusiasts
The brand name itself signals the company’s approach: unapologetic, memorable, and designed to appeal to customers who value authenticity over polish. In a marketplace where many coffee companies rely on imagery of mountain villages, hand-drawn logos, and flowery descriptions of tasting notes, Big Ass Coffee Company speaks plainly and confidently. This positioning resonates particularly well with younger consumers and professionals who respond to brands that communicate like real people rather than marketing committees.
However, the bold branding is backed by genuine substance. The artisan blends available through the platform are crafted with careful attention to sourcing, roasting, and flavor profile development. Each offering is designed to deliver a distinctive and satisfying experience that justifies its position in the premium segment without requiring customers to interpret elaborate tasting notes or understand obscure origin details. The coffee speaks for itself through quality that is immediately evident in the cup.
The company’s target audience represents a substantial and growing segment of the coffee market. These consumers have been educated by the specialty coffee movement and now expect higher quality than traditional commercial brands provide. At the same time, they have become accustomed to the convenience and speed of modern e-commerce and expect seamless online purchasing experiences. They want coffee delivered to their doors quickly and reliably, and they prefer brands that feel genuine rather than manufactured.
Big Ass Coffee Company addresses these preferences through both product and operations. The automated fulfillment system ensures orders are processed and dispatched rapidly without the delays common in businesses managing traditional inventory systems. This speed is particularly important for coffee, where freshness directly impacts quality. Customers receive products quickly enough that flavor remains at peak levels, delivering an experience comparable to purchasing directly from local roasters without requiring in-person visits.
The merchandise collection extends brand engagement beyond the coffee itself. Apparel and accessories allow customers to express affinity for the brand in their daily lives while generating additional revenue that supports overall business viability. The gear is produced with the same quality standards and brand consistency as the coffee products, ensuring customers feel good about their purchases whether they are brewing a morning cup or wearing branded merchandise.
The direct-to-consumer model creates advantages beyond operational efficiency. It enables the company to build direct relationships with customers, gather feedback without intermediaries, and adapt offerings based on actual purchasing behavior and preferences. This connection informs product development, marketing strategies, and customer service enhancements in ways that would be impossible through wholesale or retail partnerships.
From a market perspective, Big Ass Coffee Company enters during favorable conditions for online coffee retail. Consumer comfort with food and beverage e-commerce has grown dramatically, and the subscription and direct-shipping models have become mainstream rather than novel. However, market maturity also means heightened competition, making differentiation essential. The company’s combination of quality products, operational efficiency, and distinctive branding creates a competitive position that addresses multiple customer priorities at once.
The inventory-free fulfillment approach provides financial and operational flexibility that supports sustainable growth. Without capital tied up in stored inventory or risk exposure from unsold stock, the company can direct resources toward customer acquisition, product development, and brand building. This lean operational model is particularly advantageous during the early growth phase when cash flow management is critical.
Big Ass Coffee Company represents a new generation of direct-to-consumer brands that understand quality and personality are not mutually exclusive. The company delivers genuinely premium products while communicating in ways that feel accessible and authentic. For coffee lovers seeking alternatives to both bland mainstream brands and overly serious specialty options, the company offers a refreshing choice that doesn’t compromise on what matters most: the coffee itself.
As alkaline-focused eating regains global attention, consumers are turning to mineral-rich, minimally processed foods that support long-term balance rather than short-term detox trends. Rooted in a traditional Korean fire-roasting method, K-LAVA Bamboo Salt—baked at temperatures reaching 1,700°C and containing up to 55 naturally occurring minerals—is emerging as a distinctive ingredient aligned with the modern alkaline lifestyle and the growing K-Wellness movement.
Hamyang, Korea South, 7th Jan 2026 – As ultra-processed foods, chronic stress, and nutritionally imbalanced diets become defining features of modern life, a global re-calibration is underway. The alkaline diet—once regarded as a niche wellness philosophy—is re-emerging as a mainstream lifestyle trend across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
At its core is a renewed focus on mineral balance, whole foods, and long-term dietary sustainability. Within this shift, K-LAVA SALT is drawing attention as a product that aligns traditional food craftsmanship with contemporary wellness priorities.
The Alkaline Diet, Reframed for Modern Life
Today’s alkaline diet is no longer defined by strict exclusions or rigid rules. Instead, nutrition professionals increasingly describe it as a framework centered on balance and mineral sufficiency.
Diets dominated by refined sugars, animal proteins, and industrial additives are widely associated with metabolic stress, prompting consumers to seek foods that naturally support equilibrium.
This evolution has fueled demand for mineral-rich, minimally processed ingredients that can be integrated into daily routines without extreme lifestyle changes.
Inside the Making of Korea’s no.1 bamboo salt, K-LAVA Bamboo Salt (Divine Salt)
K-LAVA Bamboo Salt is rooted in a centuries-old Korean tradition, distinguished by one of the most intense natural processing methods used in food production today.
The process begins with natural sea salt, which is packed into mature bamboo stalks and sealed with mineral-rich clay. These bamboo chambers are then roasted repeatedly in wood-fired kilns.
At the peak of production, the salt is exposed to temperatures reaching 1,700°C, an extreme heat level that fundamentally transforms its structure.
According to the producer, this process results in:
Ultra-high-temperature purification, achieved without chemical refining
Structural transformation of the salt crystals through repeated firing
Integration of minerals released from bamboo and clay during combustion
As a result, K-LAVA Bamboo Salt is reported to contain up to 55 naturally occurring minerals, a profile that differentiates it sharply from conventional refined salts, which are often stripped down to sodium chloride alone.
Minerals, Fire, and the Alkaline Narrative
While scientific debate around dietary alkalinity continues, there is growing consensus on the importance of trace minerals in supporting hydration, electrolyte balance, and metabolic function.
The alkaline diet’s modern appeal lies less in altering blood pH and more in improving overall mineral intake through whole, naturally processed foods.
K-LAVA Bamboo Salt fits squarely into this narrative. The combination of extreme heat, traditional materials, and repeated roasting is believed to contribute to its alkaline characteristics and mineral density—without synthetic additives or industrial shortcuts.
Designed for Everyday Use, Not Medical Claims
Despite its complex production, K-LAVA Bamboo Salt is positioned as an everyday culinary ingredient, not a therapeutic or pharmaceutical product. Consumers incorporate it into daily habits in simple ways:
A small pinch added to warm water with lemon or lime
Light seasoning for vegetables, grains, meat, and everyday cooking
Use in broths, teas, or fermentation-based foods or mouth wash
This understated approach aligns with the alkaline diet’s modern interpretation: incremental, sustainable choices rather than short-term detox regimens.
K-Wellness and the Global Return to Fundamentals
As K-Culture continues to expand globally, attention is increasingly shifting toward K-Wellness—a broader lifestyle philosophy rooted in balance, tradition, and natural processes. Products like K-LAVA Bamboo Salt resonate with consumers seeking authenticity, transparency, and cultural depth in their wellness choices.
With its exposure to 1,700°C heat, its reported 55-mineral composition, and a process defined by time rather than speed, K-LAVA Bamboo Salt represents a return to fundamentals in an era dominated by convenience.
As the alkaline diet regains relevance worldwide, it is increasingly clear that the conversation is no longer just about what people remove from their diets—but about what they intentionally put back in.
About INSANGA and K-LAVA Salt
Established by natural medicine pioneers Kim Il-Hun and his son Kim Yoon-Se, INSANGA is a legacy health food company specializing in bamboo salt-based traditional remedies. Its global brand K-LAVA Salt represents the international face of its flagship product, Korean 9 times baked bamboo salt, now positioned for expansion into global wellness and culinary markets.
KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Landings, North America’s largest rural vertiport network developer, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert
United States, 7th Jan 2026 – KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Landings, North America’s largest rural vertiport network developer, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Landings will contribute data-driven analysis on electric aviation infrastructure, rural real estate development, and the emerging Advanced Air Mobility sector.
KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.
Landings is pioneering the infrastructure-first approach to electric aviation by developing landing and charging stations for electric aircraft across rural markets ahead of urban competitors. With a planned network of 2,000 rural locations across North America, Landings is laying the groundwork for Advanced Air Mobility to reach critical mass at scale.. The company’s asset-light model requires zero upfront costs from property owners, operating on a revenue-sharing basis once vertiports become operational.
Founded by Lisa Wright, whose background in architecture and energy management informs Landings’ unique positioning, the company addresses the critical bottleneck facing the electric aviation industry. While aircraft manufacturers race toward certification and urban markets capture headlines, rural America represents 80% of the nation’s geography with immediate use cases spanning emergency services, agricultural operations, and last-mile logistics.
Wright’s approach draws from lessons learned in energy infrastructure deployment and FBO operations, focusing on multimodal facilities that accommodate heavy drones, light eVTOLs, and short takeoff and landing aircraft. Landings’ vertiports range from two to twelve acres and can be integrated into existing commercial real estate including logistics centers, retail locations, manufacturing sites, and regional airports.
The company works with major eVTOL, STOL, and drone manufacturers positioning rural communities as strategic first movers in the Advanced Air Mobility ecosystem. Recent momentum includes Wright’s appearances on Bloomberg TV and growing partnerships with economic development organizations across the Mohawk Valley and beyond.
Landings’ areas of expertise include:
Advanced Air Mobility Infrastructure – Specialized knowledge in vertiport site selection, development, and energy systems integration
Rural Real Estate Development – Strategic approach to undervalued markets with regulatory advantages and immediate use cases
Electric Aviation Economics – Revenue models, capital stacking, and partnership structures for ground infrastructure
Multimodal Transportation Planning – Integration of drones, eVTOLs, and electric aircraft into existing logistics and emergency response networks
“We’re establishing Rural Air Mobility as a distinct category from Urban Air Mobility because the use case density is fundamentally different,” said Lisa Wright, Founder and CEO of Landings. “Rural markets aren’t secondary – they’re strategically advantageous. The land costs less, regulations align more favorably, and communities immediately understand the value proposition for emergency response, agricultural services, and economic development. By the time aircraft reach critical mass, we’ll have the largest ground network ready to receive them.”
About Landings
Landings is building North America’s largest network of landing and charging stations for electric aircraft. Using an asset-light revenue-sharing model, Landings partners with commercial property owners to develop 2-12 acre vertiports serving heavy drones, light eVTOLs, and short takeoff and landing aircraft. The company’s infrastructure-first approach positions rural communities as strategic first movers in Advanced Air Mobility, serving use cases in emergency response, agriculture, and last-mile logistics ahead of urban market deployment.

See how UniquEra hair transplant Clinic in Istanbul blends advanced FUE, Sapphire & DHI techniques with empathy, surgeon-led care and long-term planning.
United States, 7th Jan 2026 – Every morning at UniquEra Clinic starts the same way-not with machines, but with conversation. The medical team gathers not to rush into procedures, but to review cases, confirm donor plans, and discuss what each patient truly needs. This is where one of Turkey’s most trusted hair restoration clinics quietly sets itself apart.
In a country now known as the global capital of hair restoration, standing out takes more than offering Sapphire blades or DHI pens. At UniquEra Clinic, the difference lies in the mindset. It’s a place where manual FUE hair transplant still means surgeon-led extraction. Where the doctor doesn’t just design the hairline, but follows up a year later to check how it aged. And where consultations sometimes end in “you don’t need surgery yet”-a rare sentence in a competitive market.
Inside the UniquEra Clinic: Where Structure Meets Sensitivity
The day typically begins with back-to-back pre-op reviews. Photographs, scalp scans, and donor area assessments aren’t rushed. Instead of giving patients a fixed graft number upfront, the team customizes plans based on hair texture, age, progression risk, and facial structure.
“It’s not a number game,” saysHazem Altal, founder of UniquEra Clinic. “We’re designing something that has to look natural even ten years later.”
Once the procedure begins, the clinic’s surgical rooms reflect its values. Only one or two cases are scheduled daily to give each patient the full attention of the medical team. Surgeons handle extraction themselves in manual FUE hair transplant cases, adjusting based on graft quality and donor feedback during the session.
For sapphire hair transplant procedures, blades are replaced frequently to avoid dull incisions. For DHI hair transplant Turkeycases, implanter pens are used with extra care in zones with existing hair, preventing trauma to native follicles.
Care That Goes Beyond the Procedure
Post-surgery doesn’t mean “goodbye.” A typical day at UniquEra includes checking progress photos from patients in Canada, Germany, and the Gulf-each undergoing routine 3-, 6-, or 12-month follow-ups. Any delays in growth or minor concerns are logged, discussed, and responded to with real advice-not vague reassurances.
This structure is what sets the clinic apart from higher-volume operators. Patients aren’t left navigating regrowth phases alone. And when a revision is needed, the discussion is honest: not every scalp responds the same, and not every outcome is instant.
More Than Tools: A Human Approach
UniquEra uses the latest techniques-sapphire, manual FUE, DHI-but doesn’t treat them as menu options for patients to pick. The method is always chosen after scalp evaluation, donor mapping, and discussions around long-term goals.
Some patients travel for maximum density. Others want subtle improvements without shaving. Women with diffuse thinning need a different approach than men with receding temples. In each case, the clinic designs for life, not just photos.
Empathy here isn’t a buzzword. It’s baked into the workflow. Every member of the team-from surgical assistants to coordinators-knows the emotional weight that hair loss carries. Conversations happen in English, Arabic, French, and German, not just for convenience, but to make patients feel at ease during a vulnerable process.
The Bigger Picture: What This Says About Hair Transplants in Turkey
Turkey’s rise in the hair restoration field is no accident. Cost plays a role, but so does experience. Surgeons here perform more cases than their counterparts in other regions, and with that comes sharper skill. But not all clinics are built alike.
