Chef Serge Krikorian’s heritage inspires a five-course fusion menu with expert wine pairings.

Benton, Arkansas, United States, September 21, 2025 — Vibrant Occasions Catering presented FUSION360°, an intimate culinary experience featuring international fusion cuisine paired with wines from around the world, on August 28, 2025, at Rusty Tractor Vineyards. The event supported Arkansas Foodbank in recognition of Hunger Action Month.

Chef Serge Krikorian, founder of Vibrant Occasions Catering, created a five-course menu that showcased his expertise in international fusion cuisine, drawing from his Lebanese heritage and culinary training to present dishes representing Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Turkish, and French traditions blended with American flavors.

Born in Lebanon, Chef Krikorian moved to the United States as an adult and has built his reputation on creating international fusion cuisine that honors traditional flavors while incorporating international ingredients and techniques. His background provides authentic cultural perspective for creating respectful fusion dishes that tell stories of cultural exchange through food.

“Every dish tells a story of how cultures meet and create something new together,” said Chef Krikorian. “My Lebanese heritage gives me insight into Middle Eastern flavors, but fusion cuisine philosophy is about understanding the soul of each tradition and finding harmony between them.”

FUSION360° Menu and Wine Pairings

Welcome Reception:

• East Meets West Pork Belly (crispy pork belly over sushi rice with Asian slaw) paired with CYRIL COPERÉT Fleurie (Beaujolais, France)
• Bayou Wanderer Taco (Cajun shrimp with lime slaw) paired with Gunderloch Dry Riesling (Germany)

• Indian-American: Spice Route Pot Pie (curried chicken pot pie) paired with Borell-Diehl Gewürztraminer (Germany)

• French-American: Bourbon Boulevard Tart (apple tart with Kentucky bourbon sauce) paired with 1976 Pineau des Charentes (Cognac, France)

François Guilloux, founder of VINO Distribution, provided wine consultation and education throughout the evening, presenting each pairing with explanations of how international wines complement fusion cuisine flavors. Guilloux’s expertise in pairing wines with complex, multi-cultural dishes provided guests with educational insights into advanced wine pairing techniques.

The event collected non-perishable food donations for Arkansas Foodbank in recognition of Hunger Action Month, addressing food insecurity in Arkansas, which ranks first nationally for food insecurity. Donations included peanut butter, canned tuna, rice, pasta, and other high-need items identified by Arkansas Foodbank.

Claire Tiffin, Director of Community Engagement for Arkansas Foodbank, spoke to guests about the organization’s mission and the reality that many Arkansas families face daily decisions between food and other basic necessities.

The 15-guest experience featured coordinated elements including country-specific music, lighting, and projections that changed with each course. The intimate format allowed for detailed explanation of each dish’s cultural significance and fusion approach.

Each dish demonstrated specific fusion techniques that honor traditional preparations while incorporating American ingredients. The Lebanese-American trout showcased traditional Middle Eastern sauces adapted for Arkansas Delta fish, while the Indian-American pot pie demonstrated how familiar comfort foods can incorporate international spice profiles.

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.

Featured in USA Today for raising the bar on safety, transparency, and personalized care in global pet travel.

Cape Coral, Florida, United States, September 19, 2025 — Starwood Pet Travel, a global leader in pet relocation, has been featured in USA Today for redefining what it means to move pets across international borders. The article, titled “Navigating a New Era of Global Pet Travel: How Starwood is Raising the Bar for Safety, Transparency, and Care”, highlights how Starwood is meeting rising demands and expectations from today’s pet families.

“They’re not just pets anymore—they’re family,” the USA Today feature opens. And with pet relocation needs growing increasingly complex due to age, breed, and medical conditions, Starwood has emerged as a trusted solution for families seeking expert guidance and compassionate care.

A New Era of Global Pet Travel

International pet relocation has undergone dramatic transformation in recent years. More families are moving across borders, and with a 35% surge in demand for pet relocation services—particularly to the UK, Spain, and Portugal—the stakes have never been higher. What was once a basic logistics task has now become a high-stakes operation requiring real-time tracking, complex compliance, and an understanding of each pet’s unique medical and emotional needs.

In the USA Today feature, the article underscores the sharp rise in complexity: “One missed detail in a document, a single measurement slightly off with the travel kennel, or a one degree above or below the temperature restrictions can derail an entire journey.”

Starwood is answering that challenge with a tailored approach that begins before the first document is filed.

Personalized Travel Plans for Complex Needs

Modern pet travelers aren’t just young, healthy animals in cargo crates. Today’s passengers are often older, on medication, or belong to high-risk breeds such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, or Great Danes. These pets require extra care and planning to meet increasingly strict airline and government regulations.

According to the USA Today article: “At Starwood, every travel plan begins with a personalized assessment of the pet’s age, breed, temperament, and medical needs. From climate-controlled routing to specialized sizing of travel kennels, each challenge is addressed with expert care and regulatory compliance.”

This individualized approach has made Starwood a go-to partner for families facing the daunting task of international pet relocation—especially when failure is not an option.

The New Standard: Transparency and Real-Time Support

Beyond safety and logistics, what truly differentiates Starwood is its tech-enabled transparency. Pet parents today demand the same level of service they’d expect when moving themselves—timely updates, peace of mind, and complete visibility into the journey.

As highlighted in USA Today: “Gone are the days of dropping off a pet at cargo and hoping for the best. Starwood has transformed the experience with a tech-enabled approach: real-time tracking, a dedicated customer portal, and proactive updates throughout the journey.”

From boarding to customs clearance to final delivery, families are informed in real time—no guesswork, no silence, and no stress.

Navigating a Shifting Regulatory Landscape

International pet relocation is no longer a one-size-fits-all service. With import and export regulations evolving by the week, families attempting to manage the process alone often find themselves stuck in red tape—or worse, grounded at the last minute.

“Perhaps the most unpredictable element in international pet travel today is the rapidly changing web of airline and country-specific import regulations,” notes the USA Today piece.

Starwood’s logistics team maintains daily updates from its global network of vetted agents, airline partners, and embassies. Whether it’s an embargo due to summer heat or a sudden change in documentation requirements, Starwood proactively adjusts travel plans to stay ahead of the curve and avoid delays.

Trusted By Families, Backed By Experience

With thousands of successful pet relocations across 80+ countries, Starwood Pet Travel is more than a service provider—it’s a trusted advisor and global guide. From the first consultation to the moment a beloved pet is safely reunited with its family, Starwood offers a seamless, white-glove experience that combines heart and expertise.

“This is the new era of global pet travel: high stakes, high standards, and no room for error. And it’s why more families are turning to expert partners like Starwood Pet Travel who coordinate every detail of a pet’s global move with precision, compassion, and real-time transparency,” writes USA Today.

Starwood’s mission is simple: deliver peace of mind in every paw step of the journey.

About Starwood Pet Travel
Starwood Pet Travel is a premier international pet relocation company trusted by families worldwide for over 35 years. Specializing in personalized, regulatory-compliant, and safety-first travel experiences for pets, Starwood provides door-to-door transport services to more than 80 countries.

Honesty, heart, and a love of nature come together in a song about holding on to what matters.

Los Angeles, CA, California, United States, September 18, 2025 — (Los Angeles, CA) September 20, 2025 – After the successful releases in 2023, Aaria & Band Wildlife is back with an original song that hits differently. “Ponies in Denver,” the first single from their upcoming debut album “Feel the Light,” tackles childhood innocence, growing up, and holding onto the things that matter most when life gets complicated.

The song looks back at childhood with a kind of bittersweet nostalgia that’s surprisingly mature for an 11-year-old singer-songwriter. Released September 12, 2025, this three-minute track shows exactly why Aaria Chakrabarti has been turning heads since she started writing songs at age 5. She’s always written music as a way to work through her thoughts and feelings, and “Ponies in Denver” continues that tradition with remarkable honesty.

“Ponies in Denver” doesn’t simplify complex emotions or talk down to listeners. It acknowledges that growing up means facing difficult choices and disappointments, but argues for holding onto the dreams and innocence that make us who we are. The story unfolds through Aaria’s piano work and vocals, supported by subtle instrumental layers that highlight her artistry while keeping the sound genuine and accessible.

Recorded at Planet Studios in Montreal, the production keeps things authentic and unpolished in the best way. This approach has become a Band Wildlife trademark since they started headlining shows in 2021, when Aaria was just 7. The supporting musicians know how to support her vision without taking over, building a reputation for shows that feel genuine rather than like a novelty act.

The music video adds a rich visual dimension, showcasing Aaria performing the song while guiding viewers through a nature-inspired journey that reflects the band’s environmental focus. The name Band Wildlife stems from Aaria’s deep connection to themes of nature and sustainability, which have shaped her artistic vision from the very beginning. It’s this commitment to meaningful subjects, combined with her wide-ranging performance experience, that sets her apart from artists who choose to stay within safer territory.

“Ponies in Denver” draws from the rock, pop, classical, world, and jazz influences that will define the full Feel the Light album. Her composition skills continue developing in ways that surprise people who assume young artists can’t tackle serious subjects. The upcoming album will span multiple languages and explore themes of global unity, but this single works perfectly as both a standalone piece and a preview of what’s coming.

With the full debut album on the horizon, Aaria & Band Wildlife are steadily building momentum. The track is a reminder to reconnect with the simple, joyful moments that shaped who we are before life’s complexities set in—a theme that resonates across generations. 

When the world feels uncertain, what are the “ponies in Denver” you return to? “Ponies in Denver” is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other major platforms.

About Aaria & Band Wildlife

Aaria is an 11-year-old singer/songwriter from Moorestown, New Jersey, and Montreal, Quebec, with training in composition, piano, and vocals. Having composed original music since age 5, she formed Band Wildlife in 2021 to support her musical endeavors, recruiting experienced musicians in percussion, guitar, electronic music, and backing vocals. The band name reflects Aaria’s focus on nature and sustainability themes that permeate her work. Since 2021, Band Wildlife has performed internationally and headlined concerts across the US, Canada, and India.

As the UN General Assembly opens and the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing marks three decades of the landmark Declaration, the former UNESCO Director-General urges governments and civil society to accelerate women’s empowerment and close the gender digital divide.

Paris, September 18, 2025 — As the world turns its eyes to New York for the opening of the UN General Assembly and to Beijing for the 30th anniversary of the landmark UN Women’s Conference, the call for action on gender equality grows louder. Madam Irina Bokova — former Director-General of UNESCO and patron of the International Science Council — has issued a powerful appeal to governments, businesses and civil society to “finish the unfinished business of the 20th century” by accelerating women’s empowerment and closing the gender digital divide.

Bokova argues that women’s empowerment is not just a moral imperative but the keystone for solving humanity’s most urgent challenges — from climate change and migration to technological disruption and conflict. “Gender equality is not a zero-sum game — when women gain, men don’t lose. Society as a whole wins,” she said. “If we don’t bridge the gender digital divide, we will deepen inequalities instead of closing them.”

The UN General Assembly’s 2025 session is expected to focus heavily on global development and inclusion. Bokova described the Assembly as a “vital platform” for recommitting to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at a time when, halfway to 2030, only 17 percent of the targets have been achieved. Against this backdrop, she emphasised the historic significance of the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing — the most progressive global agreement on women’s rights to date — and urged leaders to transform commemoration into action.

Two shifts from the 1995 Beijing Declaration continue to reshape policy today: recognising the girl child as a distinct priority for education and protection, and acknowledging women not only as victims of war but as active peacebuilders — a principle that paved the way for the UN Security Council’s landmark resolution on Women, Peace and Security. “This anniversary is not simply a commemoration,” Bokova said. “It is a recommitment to a civilisational project: weaving responsibility, education, inclusion and mentorship into the fabric of a world order.”

During her tenure at UNESCO, Bokova launched initiatives to keep girls in school, provide secondary and technical training, and link education to women’s economic empowerment. She enlisted high-profile champions, including Professor Peng Liyuan, China’s First Lady, who became UNESCO’s Special Envoy for Girls’ and Women’s Education and spearheaded the UNESCO–China Prize on Girls’ and Women’s Education. “A high-profile, competent woman lending her prestige to girls’ education is more than symbolism,” Bokova noted. “It is a model of the feminine principle at the top of the hierarchy reaching down to lift others.”

Looking ahead, Bokova warned that the gender digital divide — the exclusion of women and girls from the technological revolution — threatens to undo hard-won gains. She called on governments, tech firms and international organisations to design the next wave of innovation as inclusive from the outset. With the UN General Assembly and the Beijing anniversary as a backdrop, Bokova’s message to leaders and to the next generation of women is clear: “Have confidence. Strive to be everything you want to be. Don’t give up, don’t give in. Look for mentors. Support other women — don’t hit the ladder after you climb.”

Key facts:

• Only 17% of SDG targets achieved halfway to 2030
• Women’s empowerment is “the unfinished business of the 20th century”
• Bridging the gender digital divide is essential to avoid deepening inequalities
• Professor Peng Liyuan’s role as UNESCO Special Envoy helped catalyse projects linking girls’ education with economic development and inclusion

About the company: Irina Bokova served two terms as Director-General of UNESCO (2009–2017), becoming the first woman and first Eastern
European to head the organisation. She is a member of the Board of the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens and patron
of the International Science Council. She has been a lifelong advocate of women’s empowerment, education, cultural
diversity and sustainable development.
