This spring, Rancho Noir, LLC will host its first mastermind retreat at the property, underscoring the versatility of this distinctive estate.

“Greyzen Ranch was created as a place to reconnect—whether with nature, your people, or yourself,” says Jason, a co-owner of Rancho Noir, LLC. “We designed the space with intention, balancing modern touches and natural materials to create something immersive and elevated. Our goal was to build a retreat that reflects the harmony of our Zen philosophy while honoring the landscape around it.”

About Vibrant Occasions Catering:

Chef Serge Krikorian and his wife, Mary Krikorian, started their catering business in 2002 and have been in the family restaurant business since 1994. Having catered thousands of events over the years as Dinner’s Ready, they launched Vibrant Occasions Catering, a new name that more accurately depicts the level of food and service provided at weddings and social events. Krikorian was born in Lebanon and moved to the United States with his family as an adult entering college.  He now hails from the quaint town of Benton, Arkansas. His southern hospitality paired with his penchant for developing unique international fusion-style recipes, especially sauces, has garnered his reputation as foodies’ fan favorite in his community and now on the Youtube space for his cooking show, Cooking with the Kriks.  After years of dreaming about owning a mobile kitchen, in December 2020, Serge and Mary launched Our Mobile Kitchen with the intention of providing fresh, 5-star quality chef-prepared cuisine to patrons visiting where the mobile kitchen is parked or on site for catered weddings and social, private or corporate events.  Krikorian is an alumnus of Henderson State University where he studied business earning his Bachelor’s Degree and met his wife, Mary. He earned his MBA from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.  Serge became a restaurant entrepreneur when he purchased an old, run-down pizza parlor he and Mary revived called Sergio’s Pizza.  After a few years, they knew the restaurant business was not for them.  Mary booked their first official catering gig, much to Serge’s surprise. They began receiving more and more requests for catering luncheons and events. The catering business took over after six months and they never looked back.  They have three sons who often work in the business around their academic and career schedules, making their enterprise a family-built business.

Why Kona is the Ultimate Deep-Sea Fishing Destination

Kona, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, is renowned for its world-class deep-sea fishing, attracting anglers from around the globe. Its unique geographical location, where deep ocean trenches meet the coastline, allows fishermen to drop their lines just minutes after departing from the harbor. With various fish species, including the legendary Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Ono, and Spearfish, Kona is a mecca for anglers seeking the thrill of the catch and the beauty of the ocean.

Fully equipped with top-flight Tantrum lures and TTS tackle, fighting chair, Shimano reels, Ultimate Poles, and a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned platform, Tantrum Sportfishing ensures that guests can focus on what matters most: the thrill of the catch.

Fishing Experiences Tailored to Every Angler

Half-day, ¾ day, full-day, and multi-day trips are available, providing options for those with limited time or those eager to spend the day at sea.

Sustainable Practices: Ethical Fishing for a Better Future

This conservation commitment makes Tantrum Sportfishing a premier fishing charter and a trusted partner in the sustainable management of Kona’s marine life.

Customer Reviews: Real Experiences from Real People

Tantrum Sportfishing has received glowing reviews from its guests, who consistently praise the crew, the experience, and the results. Here’s what some recent customers had to say:

• Josh B: “I read A LOT of reviews trying to decide on a boat. I chose this boat based on the reviews, but it also has food and is a VERY NICE BOAT. That matters; you spend hours in the boat waiting. All four group members caught at least one fish. I caught two at around 180 lbs each. One guy caught a 350 lb’er and another 180 lb. We also caught one tuna that they filleted it for us. I couldn’t be happier; they did an amazing job, and I highly recommend them!

• Chris H.: “We had an incredible fishing experience in Kona with Tantrum Sportfishing. My two teenage boys and I went out with Nick and crew, who took excellent care of us throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to catch four blue marlins and two shortbill spearfish – quite a significant catch- and we noticed that our haul was more than that of other charter boats in the marina that day. Nick and crew were attentive to our needs and pleasant to talk to, making the trip enjoyable. They served delicious food that added to the overall experience. The boat was fantastic: air-conditioned, clean, and updated, which made our time on the water even more comfortable. Tantrum Charter Fishing met and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure in Kona.”

California Yoga’s signature Costa Rica retreats, curated by founder Kimi Rae Fankhauser, offer immersive wellness experiences focused on healing and growth.

United States, April 7, 2025 — California Yoga Retreats Offer Sanctuary and Global Transformation

Nestled behind Local Roots Juice in Sylvania, Ohio, California Yoga is not just a local studio—it’s a community-driven sanctuary for personal transformation. Founded by retreat curator and yoga instructor Kimi Rae Fankhauser, the studio is known for cultivating authentic connection, inclusivity, and spiritual growth through yoga, meditation, and conscious living.

Location: Kauai 

While grounded in traditional yogic principles, California Yoga offers a modern, accessible environment that welcomes individuals of all backgrounds. The studio’s mission is to provide more than physical classes—it exists to create a space for self-discovery, healing, and deeper connection.

“Our students always tell us they’ve never found another place quite like this,” said Fankhauser. “There’s something truly unique about the energy here—loving, real, and deeply human.”

The Heart of the Practice: Costa Rica Retreats

At the center of California Yoga’s offerings are its internationally praised retreats to Costa Rica. These curated experiences, led personally by Fankhauser, have become defining milestones for many students seeking personal and spiritual renewal.

Each retreat in Nosara is designed to go beyond the traditional yoga vacation. With a thoughtful combination of yoga practices, sound healing, meditation, and community connection, participants are guided through an immersive journey designed to restore balance and awaken awareness.

What sets these retreats apart is not only the serene tropical setting but the level of detail and intention behind each component. Participants frequently report that they return home changed—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

“People tell me over and over again that this experience shifted something fundamental within them,” said Fankhauser. “That’s what makes it all worth it.”

Curated With Intention, Led With Heart

Known for her intuitive leadership and meticulous planning, Fankhauser’s retreat guidance goes far beyond the role of yoga instructor. Her ability to hold space, foster group connection, and anticipate the needs of participants has been widely recognized.

From transportation to accommodations, meal experiences to group dynamics, every element is shaped to encourage presence, safety, and support.

“Kimi is a gifted curator of travel and transformation,” shared one participant. “She makes you feel seen and held in every moment. It’s rare and powerful.”

Her retreats are open to all levels, making them ideal both for seasoned practitioners and for those experiencing yoga and international travel for the first time. The result is a shared experience that is deeply human and inherently transformative.

Yoga That Extends Beyond the Mat

While the retreat experience is a cornerstone of the brand, California Yoga’s Sylvania studio remains the foundation of its community. Here, students of all ages, body types, and experience levels gather to practice in an inclusive and supportive environment.

California Yoga offers a range of classes from dynamic Vinyasa flow to restorative movement and breathwork. However, the essence of the studio is not limited to physical practice—it lies in its ability to offer refuge, connection, and space for genuine growth.

It’s not uncommon to see first-time students practicing next to long-time regulars or entire families finding a shared rhythm within a class. “This studio brings people together in the most beautiful ways,” said one community member. “It’s more than yoga—it’s family.”

Beyond Studio Walls: Community and Events

California Yoga has also become known for its community events, workshops, and trainings. These gatherings provide additional opportunities for people to engage in meaningful connection and learn new practices rooted in mindfulness and holistic wellness.  We have a 200 RYT teacher trainings starting in May led by two incredible instructors including my daughter in law, Elizabeth Noble and long time friend, Kelsey Northrup and an accredited Sound Healer Training beginning in August led by Toledo’s best and the pioneer of sound in the area, Katya Seymour.  Both trainings are recognized by Yoga Alliance.

Whether through local gatherings or global retreats, the studio continues to fulfill its mission: to inspire transformation and extend positive energy beyond its physical space.

The studio environment mirrors the retreat setting in many ways, serving as a place where people can come as they are, let go of life’s pace, and remember what it feels like to be present.

A Journey That Lasts

The impact of California Yoga’s retreats often continues long after the plane ride home. Attendees report renewed focus, enhanced emotional clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves and their values. Many remain in contact with fellow participants and return for future retreats to continue the journey.

“Kimi’s retreats aren’t just about yoga,” said another participant. “They’re about coming back to yourself. You leave feeling like a better, truer version of who you are.”

This ripple effect is part of California Yoga’s broader vision: that transformation begins within but is meant to be shared. As students integrate what they’ve learned, they bring that presence and peace into their families, workplaces, and communities.

A Studio With Soul

While many studios attempt to replicate the success of California Yoga, few capture its depth and soul. The secret, according to its founder, is the energy of the people who are drawn to the space.

“There’s no formula,” Fankhauser said. “It’s the people. It’s the energy we’ve cultivated together. It’s the shared intention of showing up with open hearts.”

From Costa Rica’s beaches to the studio floors in Ohio, California Yoga offers more than classes and retreats—it offers belonging. The space encourages stillness, strength, vulnerability, and joy.

As the studio continues to evolve, it remains anchored in its founding principle: to hold space for transformation.

About California Yoga

California Yoga is a yoga studio based in Sylvania, Ohio, offering classes rooted in ancient traditions and modern mindfulness. Founded by Kimi Rae Fankhauser, the studio provides a wide range of classes, events, and globally recognized retreats to Costa Rica. Known for its authenticity, inclusivity, and vibrant community, California Yoga has become a hub for healing, growth, and connection.

Learn over 68 languages effectively with Qlango’s CEFR-aligned, customizable, and hands-free app experience.

Maribor, Slovenia, April 7, 2025 — Lifelong Passion Meets Purpose-Built Technology

In a world dominated by generic learning platforms, Qlango, a Slovenian-based language learning app, has quietly distinguished itself with a deeply personal origin and an evidence-based, user-driven methodology. Founded by an experienced IT entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for languages, Qlango was born from a frustration shared by many—language learning tools that promise results but fail to deliver.

After decades in the tech industry—building and exiting companies in multiple countries—the founder of Qlango turned his attention to language learning. Already fluent in Slovene, German, Serbo-Croatian, and some English, he had initially hoped to expand his skills by studying English and French in university. Although IT eventually became his primary career path, the love of languages never faded.

“I tested more than 100 apps before deciding that none were effective enough, especially for people who want to seriously learn a new language,” said the founder. “I knew there had to be a better way, because I had already built one for myself when I learned Russian. That tool worked—because it focused only on the content I actually needed.”

Redesigning the Language Learning Experience

Qlango was officially launched in 2017. Since then, it has grown steadily in both features and reputation. The platform now supports 68 languages, offering all possible combinations between them—not just from English. This flexibility is particularly valuable for global users whose native language is not English.

Rather than mimicking traditional classroom instruction or gamified repetition, Qlango leverages a targeted example-based method. Users learn through context, repetition based on actual struggle points, and always respond in their target language—a key departure from many competing apps.

Among its core innovations:

• Color-coded guidance while typing, giving users real-time feedback without penalizing mistakes
• Hints available on every example, keeping learners engaged rather than frustrated
• Adaptive lesson generation, ensuring that difficult examples reappear until mastered
• Flexible difficulty settings, allowing learners to choose modes like dictation, translation, or reading
• CEFR-aligned levels (A1 to B2), letting users start at a level that suits their knowledge
• Hands-free learning, with listening capabilities that fit seamlessly into daily life
• Parallel audiobooks, with synchronized subtitles and narration
• Interactive games, including a Wordle-inspired challenge, Minute Rush, and Unscramble
• Smart recommendations, including the optimal next lesson and difficulty level
• Diplomas issued after level completion, motivating users through structured progression

All of these features are offered with a generous free plan—up to three lessons per day—and an affordable subscription model for unlimited access and games.

Recognized for Quality and Impact

Qlango’s approach has earned it recognition from experts. It holds a 5-star rating on the Educational App Store, where educators and edtech analysts evaluate tools for effectiveness, accessibility, and educational value.

User reviews on Google Play and the App Store echo this sentiment, highlighting how users appreciate the app’s depth, language flexibility, and transparent progression.

Despite a growing user base, Qlango remains self-funded. This independence has allowed the team to build a product free from aggressive monetization strategies, ensuring that user needs, not market trends, shape development decisions.

Reaching Underserved Learners

Unlike most mainstream apps that focus heavily on a small set of widely spoken languages, Qlango supports a wide array of underrepresented languages and dialects. It enables learners to study from or into any of the 68 supported languages, providing greater inclusivity for learners outside English-speaking regions.

Each language pair includes localized instruction, alphabet support (including subtitles for non-Latin alphabets), and CEFR-based progression paths where data permits. This approach reflects a nuanced understanding of what it means to learn a language—not just vocabulary, but structure, usage, and cultural context.

Built by a Learner, for Learners

The story of Qlango is one of coming full circle—from a choice between IT and language studies, to a career in tech, and ultimately to the creation of a product that combines both passions.

“Qlango is not about pretending you’re learning,” said the founder. “It’s about actually learning—and doing so with examples that are simple and useful enough that you’ll hear them in real life soon after. It’s personalized, focused, and based on what works—not what entertains.”

This foundational philosophy sets Qlango apart in an increasingly crowded marketplace of language apps that often prioritize gamification over comprehension.

About Qlango

Qlango is a language learning app developed in Europe, offering effective, personalized, and CEFR-aligned learning for 68 languages and their full pairwise combinations. Founded by an IT entrepreneur and language enthusiast, Qlango emphasizes functional comprehension, user-driven content repetition, and flexible learning experiences. Since its launch in 2017, Qlango has continued to evolve based on real user feedback, positioning itself as a serious alternative to mainstream language learning tools.

Belgium / Lithuania, April 7, 2025 — The firm’s latest offering brings together all the essential capabilities required to move from concept to scalable solution—under one roof. The goal? Help enterprises escape the inertia of experimentation and make measurable progress on AI initiatives.

A Practical Framework for the Entire AI Journey

Sigli’s expanded services address the full lifecycle of enterprise AI transformation, encompassing everything from strategy to scaled deployment. At the heart of this evolution lies a suite of modular offerings designed to eliminate guesswork and accelerate value:

• AI Readiness Assessments to evaluate infrastructure, talent, and organizational alignment.
• Use Case Validation to identify high-impact areas aligned with strategic goals.
• Rapid Prototyping to test ideas quickly and demonstrate value.
• Implementation Services for integrating AI into real-world processes.
• Scaling and Optimization to transform successful pilots into enterprise-wide systems.

By guiding enterprises through each phase, Sigli helps its clients move from “we should probably do something with AI” to launching solutions that create competitive advantage.

Focusing on ROI, Not Just Experiments

The AI space has become crowded with hype. Companies often invest in exploratory projects only to see them stall or fade. Sigli takes a different approach—one rooted in execution and outcomes.

“We see too many companies dive into AI for AI’s sake, only to end up with wasted effort,” says Roman Rimsa, Managing Director of Sigli. “Our mission at Sigli is to guide enterprises beyond the hype, ensuring every AI initiative yields practical, measurable results that drive sustainable growth.”

That emphasis on pragmatism has become a signature of the firm’s work. Sigli doesn’t position itself as just a technology provider—it’s a business partner, equally focused on competitive positioning, efficiency gains, and enhanced customer experiences.

Helping Enterprises Navigate the Complexity of Change

Scaling AI isn’t just about algorithms and infrastructure—it’s about people, processes, and governance. Sigli’s role as a transformation partner includes addressing organizational friction and supporting the cultural shifts that often accompany innovation. This means facilitating buy-in from stakeholders, aligning governance with innovation goals, and helping internal teams develop the confidence and skills to maintain momentum.

By embedding closely with client teams, Sigli fosters a culture of co-creation, ensuring that AI adoption is not only successful, but also sustainable. The firm’s approach balances strategic vision with operational clarity—two attributes frequently at odds in large-scale change efforts.

Track Record of Real-World Impact

What sets Sigli apart is a portfolio that demonstrates tangible results. The firm’s team of engineers and strategists has executed high-value AI projects across industries. These range from predictive analytics that reduce waste in global supply chains to intelligent diagnostics that support healthcare providers. Across each engagement, the emphasis remains consistent: validate early, build quickly, scale intentionally.

For Sigli, success isn’t defined by the complexity of the technology—but by its ability to solve business problems and drive measurable performance.

Leading the Conversation on Innovation

Beyond client work, Sigli has carved out a reputation as a thought leader in the European innovation ecosystem. The firm’s insights have been featured in publications like Tech.eu, Silicon Canals, Dutch IT Leaders, and Bloovi, where it regularly shares perspectives on the strategic adoption of AI and digital transformation. On Medium, Sigli publishes articles aimed at demystifying emerging technologies and providing decision-makers with actionable guidance.

Through these channels, Sigli helps shape a more grounded, business-oriented conversation around innovation—reframing AI as a tool for clarity and action, not just speculation.

A Trusted Partner for the Enterprise Era

Founded in 2015, Sigli has evolved into more than a consultancy. With offices in Belgium and Lithuania and a client base that spans industries and geographies, the firm now acts as a long-term innovation partner for companies ready to make AI a pillar of their business.

At a time when digital transformation remains urgent but often ambiguous, Sigli brings focus and traction. Its new full-service model marks a strategic commitment to helping enterprises not only understand what’s possible with AI—but achieve it.

Growing demand for experienced project managers fuels the shift toward nearshore IT staffing, says ParallelStaff.

United States, April 7, 2025 — Companies facing a shortage of experienced IT leaders are turning to nearshore staffing solutions to address growing challenges in software project management. ParallelStaff, a provider of nearshore IT staffing, reports an increasing demand for project managers and technical leads as businesses look for an IT sourcing strategy to improve development efficiency and reduce project failures.

As technology initiatives expand, organizations are struggling to find qualified leaders who can oversee software development lifecycles, manage distributed teams, and align projects with business goals. ParallelStaff notes an IT talent shortage while 82% of managers lack leadership skills. The difficulty in hiring skilled IT managers domestically has led companies to explore nearshore outsourcing, a model that provides access to experienced professionals in nearby time zones.

“Strong project leadership is essential for software development success, yet many businesses focus primarily on hiring developers without considering the impact of effective management,” a ParallelStaff spokesperson said. “Nearshore IT staffing enables companies to integrate experienced project managers who bring expertise in agile methodologies and cross-border collaboration, ensuring teams stay on track.”

Research shows that tech leadership gaps contribute to project delays, budget overruns, and miscommunication, which can significantly impact business performance. Without effective oversight, even highly skilled development teams may face inefficiencies that hinder progress. ParallelStaff’s approach to nearshore staffing addresses these concerns by providing companies with access to vetted professionals who can take on leadership roles and maintain project stability.

Companies that adopt nearshore IT staffing report improvements in communication, workflow efficiency, and overall project execution. With professionals operating in similar time zones, real-time collaboration is enhanced, reducing delays and improving responsiveness. This approach allows businesses to scale their teams quickly while maintaining operational oversight.

“Our clients recognize the value of nearshore leadership in mitigating risks associated with IT project failures,” the spokesperson added. “By integrating experienced project managers into existing teams, businesses can navigate complex development challenges with greater confidence.”

ParallelStaff specializes in connecting businesses with project managers, software engineers, and technical leads who are experienced in agile software development and remote team management. The firm’s network of IT professionals helps companies address hiring challenges while maintaining flexibility in workforce scaling.

The shift toward nearshore IT staffing reflects broader industry trends as organizations seek more efficient ways to manage digital transformation. Traditional recruitment processes for technical leadership roles are often lengthy, making it difficult for companies to fill positions quickly. Nearshore outsourcing provides an alternative that allows businesses to secure high-quality talent without the extended hiring cycles of conventional recruitment.

“Companies can no longer afford to overlook the importance of IT leadership,” the spokesperson said. “By leveraging nearshore talent, they can strengthen development operations and achieve sustainable growth without compromising quality or security.”

ParallelStaff continues to expand its services to meet the growing needs of businesses navigating IT workforce challenges. The company’s model prioritizes flexibility, allowing organizations to scale up or down based on project demands while maintaining a stable and skilled leadership structure.

As businesses face increasing pressure to optimize software development and digital transformation initiatives, nearshore staffing solutions offer a practical approach to addressing leadership shortages. ParallelStaff remains a resource for companies looking to integrate experienced IT professionals who can drive efficiency and ensure project success.
