Grace Recovery ATX to Open a Second Location at the End of January, 2020

Grace Recovery ATX Assists Addicts, Alcoholics and their Families in Reclaiming their Lives from the Disease of Active Addiction

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / Becca and Leah McIlrath, sisters and Co-Founders of Grace Recovery ATX in Austin, Texas, are pleased to announce the upcoming opening of their second location. The new sober living home is slated to open its doors by the end of January, 2020.

To learn more about Grace Recovery ATX and how the sober home can help addicts and alcoholics in their recovery by taking back their lives from the clutches of addiction, please visit https://gracerecoveryatx.com/.

As Leah noted, addiction has touched every aspect of her life, as well as her sister Becca. Both women are in recovery themselves and felt strongly that opening a sober house for other women dealing with addiction was an honorable way to give back to the recovery community.

"My sister struggled for 10 or 11 years and one of the things that she changed most significantly in her life was sober living, and that longer continuum of care," Leah said, adding that both she and Becca realized that after going through a year of treatment, women need individual attention to help them get their lives back on track.

"What Grace Recovery ATX does is offer that individual attention and a safe, drug-free place to live so that women can, in a supportive way, get their lives back on track substance-free."

The sisters opened the first sober house during the Winter of 2018. Now, with the upcoming grand opening of their second Grace Recovery ATX location in the very near future, they are looking forward to helping even more women and their families to live sober, successful and happy lives.

By consistently providing education, guidance, support, skills and more, Leah and Becca hope that both the women who are struggling with addiction and their families can be self-sufficient and prosperous.

"Sober living is close to our hearts," Leah said.

"It's very important to us that we run a very high standard of ethical care that is individualized for the girls and that it's done with the intention to help women."

About Grace Recovery ATX:

Grace Recovery ATX was founded by sisters Becca and Leah out of a love and desire to assist other women in their recovery. As one of the only sober living homes in Austin that accept women only, they are uniquely positioned to assist and nurture their clients in a way that other programs cannot.

Hearst Foundation provides $100,000 grant to support American Kidney Fund’s Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Fellowship program

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / The American Kidney Fund (AKF) today announced a $100,000 grant from the Hearst Foundation to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in AKF's Clinical Scientist in Nephrology (CSN) Program. AKF's CSN Program funds nephrology's most promising young researchers whose work is designed to improve diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients living with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The grant comes at a time when kidney disease is in the national spotlight with the Trump administration's Advancing American Kidney Health initiative to drive innovation and early detection of kidney disease and to increase the number of kidney transplants performed each year. At the same time, a looming crisis in the nephrology workforce threatens to stall progress as fewer medical students enter this specialty.

AKF's CSN program aims to drive innovation in postdoctoral nephrology education and help attract young scholars to choose careers in clinical research. The program offers postdoctoral students a two-year fellowship to conduct patient-centric prevention and outcomes research on kidney disease. Prevention research aims to develop strategies for preventing disease onset or delaying disease progression, while outcomes research assesses the effectiveness of various treatments and interventions.

CSN fellows receive advanced training in medical ethics, biostatistics, and epidemiology-fields that are essential to kidney research. They also have the unique opportunity to collaborate with AKF staff on national programming to serve kidney patients.

The Hearst Foundation, Inc. was founded by William Randolph Hearst in 1946 with the intention of identifying and funding outstanding nonprofits to ensure that people of all backgrounds in the United States have the opportunity to build healthy, productive and inspiring lives.

"The Hearst Foundation is honored to support the American Kidney Fund's efforts to drive quality and innovation in kidney patient care," said George Irish, Eastern Director, The Hearst Foundations. "AKF's CSN Program has a decades-long track record of important contributions to clinical research in nephrology and we are pleased to fund work that improves the lives of kidney patients and paves the way for better outcomes."

AKF's CSN Fellowship program has trained dozens of nephrology's brightest scholars over the years, many of whom have become leaders in the field as well as mentors to new generations of nephrologists. Past fellows have gone on to pioneer national guidelines for detection and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), led research on biomarkers' influence on the progression of kidney disease and spearheaded initiatives to reduce racial disparities in kidney patient care.

"Tomorrow's innovations in kidney care will come from today's young researchers, and we have been filling that pipeline for more than 30 years," said LaVarne A. Burton, AKF president and CEO. "The Hearst Foundation's generous gift will enable AKF to continue advancing quality in kidney care, while inspiring a new generation of nephrologists to innovate how we prevent and treat kidney disease."

3 Tips for New Pet Owners are Released by Dr. Hunter Finn

Dr. Finn is a Veterinarian who Practices in Arlington, Texas

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / Dr. Hunter Finn, a veterinarian in Arlington, Texas, is pleased to announce that he has just released 3 tips for new pet owners.

To learn more about Dr. Finn, please follow him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dr.hunterfinn/.

Dr. Finn knows that adopting a new pet is an exciting experience. At the same time, he also understands that most pet owners have questions about their new four-legged family member.

This knowledge inspired him to release 3 tips that all new pet owners should keep in mind.

The first tip, Dr. Finn noted, is to establish a relationship with a veterinarian. Whether someone has adopted a young puppy from a breeder or has brought a senior cat from a rescue group into his or her home, it is vital to establish a doctor-patient relationship.

"One extremely valuable reason is so the veterinarian of your choosing can get acquainted with your new fur child and perform a thorough physical exam," Dr. Finn said, adding that physical exams are without a doubt one of the most overlooked tools that veterinarians have because their patients cannot tell them how they feel or "where it hurts".

"We rely on thorough examinations to be able to detect and prevent disease processes. This is extremely important for older adopted animals who have more than likely had a stressful and tough past, but just as important in new puppies as they can have congenital diseases, intestinal parasites, and other conditions that, if untreated, can certainly be life threatening."

Secondly, Dr. Finn strongly suggests that new pet owners invest in pet insurance.

"One of the most frustrating aspects of veterinary medicine is diagnosing a very manageable condition, but being unable to bring relief to an animal solely due to financial constraints," he noted, adding that it is difficult for everyone involved when he diagnoses a treatable condition that the pet owners are unable to take care of due to finances. In the case of an unforeseen health issue, pet insurance will give the beloved dog or cat the best chance to receive the proper care and continue to have a great quality of life.

Finally, Dr. Finn said, it is important for new pet owners to speak with their veterinarian about their fur baby's diet.

"I truly believe that there is not a single diet out there that fits every animal's needs and this is why you should have a discussion with your veterinarian about what diet will best allow your pet to not only survive but thrive," he said.

About Dr. Hunter Finn:

Dr. Hunter Finn is a new veterinarian practicing in Arlington, Texas. His mission and goal are to help people and their pets live longer, healthier lives, as well as promoting quality of life for both pets and their humans. For more information, please visit https://www.drhunterfinn.com/.

A Facelift is Coming to the Westin Bear Mountain

The Hotel in Langford, British Columbia, Canada will Undergo a Huge Renovation Including a Total Overhaul of the Guest Rooms

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / Raoul Malak, the new owner of the Westin Bear Mountain in Langford, British Columbia, Canada, is pleased to announce an extensive upcoming facelift to the hotel property.

"I have a very clear vision about what we are going to do with this magnificent property in the next two to three years," says Malak.

Purchased in July of last year, the hotel is an integral part of Bear Mountain and Malak is set to transform the hotel into a five-star property on par with Canada's top hotels.

The hotel will undergo a complete facelift of the ground floor level, complete overhaul of the guest rooms, a potential secondary pool and waterslide, and even a car service for guests wishing to travel to and from Victoria.

The initial plans represent a complete redesign of the public areas on the main level. The goal is to create better flow, giving a sense of space and luxury while doubling seating indoors and out with new dining and lounge spaces. On the list of improvements are a modern open concept reception area and a large covered patio for year round views of the golf courses, mountains, nearby Victoria, and the Pacific Ocean.

The decor will be overhauled with welcoming and vibrant colours, imported European lighting that functions as art, two lounge spaces, and luxurious furnishings that are as beautiful as they are comfortable to create a pleasing combination of aesthetics and comfort.

Following upgrades and renovations in the public areas will be upgrades to the existing guest rooms, including potential expansions, the addition of five star amenities, the elimination of extraneous ensuite kitchens and updated furniture, bedding, decor, and fixtures. Also in discussion is the potential for an additional level of guest rooms.

"We are trying to create a community within a community. We are currently a hub, but we want to be the hub. Our vision for the property is to be the flagship of this mountain and of the City of Langford. And not so far into the future, the flagship of Victoria," says Malak.

About Westin Bear Mountain:

Set along lush golf greens and framed by Vancouver Island's rugged mountains, The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria offers stunning natural beauty and laid-back comforts. The charming harbour city of Victoria is just 25 minutes away. Guests can test their skills at Canada's only resort to feature 36 holes of Nicklaus Design golf.

Cyle Patnode is Featured in Forbes, Inc. and Entrepreneur Magazines

Patnode is the Founder and CEO of Your Online Advisors LLC

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / Cyle Patnode, Founder and CEO of Your Online Advisors LLC, is pleased to announce that he was featured in magazine articles in Forbes, Inc. and Entrepreneur.

To learn more about Your Online Advisors LLC and the services that they offer, please visit https://yoa.agency/.

In the Forbes article, which is titled "6 Ways To Grow Your Local Business With Digital Marketing," the author interviewed six experts on the subject, including Patnode.

As the article noted, while using social media can help with SEO, optimizing a website is one of the best ways to boost a company's internet presence.

"Regularly post on your Google My Business page and completely fill out the information section inside your Google My Business dashboard," Patnode was quoted as saying in the article. "These two simple actions, in addition to implementing a google review strategy, can place your business on the first Google results page."

The Inc. article, which is titled "How Where You Live Can Impact Your Startup," features advice from a number of successful entrepreneurs, including Patnode. As he told the writer, being close to where a startup is located means the owner is also in proximity to more potential clients. Instead of communicating by phone or through emails, business owners can meet in person with their clients, which can be a major plus.

"There's a trust that's built immediately when you can meet with someone face to face," Patnode said, adding that when he moved to close to his startup, his monthly business revenue went up dramatically, due in large part to being able to meet clients in person.

"That always closes the deal."

The article in Entrepreneur also allowed Patnode to share his insights about SEO, and how it can have either a positive or negative impact on sales.

"The smartest practice is to grab the less competitive markets, which helps sculpt your authority to Google and position you as the top option, creating the future path to showing up in major metropolitan cities," Patnode told the author of the article.

The fact that Patnode has been featured in three highly regarded publications will not surprise the many satisfied clients at Your Online Advisors LLC. Since the company first opened for business, Patnode and his team have earned a well-deserved reputation for their ability to boost their clients' traffic.

At Your Online Advisors LLC, they truly understand this foundational principle of digital marketing, and they strive to deliver innovative and effective solutions that can increase the visibility of their clients' websites.

In addition, Patnode and his team also know the way modern day shoppers operate and what they are looking for in a website. Through their combination of top-notch content writers, copywriters, web designers and strategists, Your Online Advisors LLC can help create websites that will lead to more sales.

About Cyle Patnode:

Cyle Patnode is the President of Your Online Advisors LLC, a premier Digital Marketing agency. He has been running digital agencies since 2015 and has experienced tremendous growth for his ability to get his clients' websites visible on search engines fast. Cyle holds 8 Google certifications and Google Partner status. For more information, please visit https://yoa.agency/.

Appnomic Momentum Continues with the Launch of Flagship Product Suite, Heal, and the Appointment of Mobile Tech Veteran Mike Mulica to the Board of Directors

Heal is a game-changing AI-driven software that prevents software problems and enables the self-healing enterprise

CUPERTINO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / Appnomic, provider of the first self-healing software technology for IT operations, today announced the launch of its flagship product Heal. Heal is self-learning software that connects to business systems and identifies and prevents future issues from occurring, in addition to detecting and solving existing problems. All of this is done without the need for human intervention – saving substantial time and money usually spent on identifying and resolving problems related to software and infrastructure.

Enterprises spend an enormous number of hours going through the process of problem detection and resolution. Most of the time, problems are discovered after the damage is done, and the technical failures have been flagged by customers. With Heal's unique self-healing approach, issues are detected and resolved before an incident occurs.

Heal's AI engine studies the business' systems to learn the normal operating routine, continuously monitors systems, and identifies unusual behavioral patterns. Thus, Heal can find the root causes of anomalies and takes corrective actions autonomously or via AI-augmented human effort before any damage is done.

"Heal is the umbrella brand of the entire Self Healing Enterprise product portfolio for cloud, edge, and on-premise deployments. Appnomic's Heal Cloud will be the first product under this brand and will be generally available by March 2020," said Paddy Padmanabhan, Chairman of Appnomic. "The launch of Heal is a major step in delivering the Self Healing Enterprise promise."

In addition to announcing the Heal brand of game-changing products, the company also announced the appointment of high-tech veteran, Mike Mulica, to its board of directors. "We are excited to welcome Mike Mulica to our board of directors. He joins as we meet the important milestone of launching a category-defining suite of products and services," said Nitin Kumar, CEO of Appnomic. "Mike stewarded companies in emerging technologies and opened up new large global markets. His knowledge and experience will be a valuable contribution to Appnomic as we continue to execute on our growth plans."

Mike Mulica, a mobile tech veteran, pioneered the Mobile Internet and has led and scaled many highly successful global companies, including Phone.com, Openwave, RealNetworks, FusionOne, Synchronoss, Actility and most recently AlefEdge. Currently, Mike spends his time as an active investor, board member, and advisor to both private and public companies.
"With the rapid progression of Edge computing, both internet and enterprise applications must be able to operate more autonomously. Appnomic's self-healing IT operations inventions are an essential ingredient for the scale of the secure, distributed internet," said Mike Mulica.

About Heal

Heal by Appnomic is the first self-healing software for IT operations that fixes problems before they happen. Contrary to AI-driven monitoring tools that send alerts when an incident occurs, Heal can recognize "signals" that are leading indicators of future incidents and eliminate factors that can create problems. Heal uses unsupervised AI to learn how a system works under normal circumstances and creates a dynamic baseline for the entire system and workload behavior; therefore, it can precisely predict and prevent problems. Heal uses multiple proprietary machine learning techniques that are developed and patented by Appnomic.

About Appnomic

Appnomic is a game-changing innovation provider in self-healing for enterprises, recently named among the 30 Fabulous Companies of the year 2020 by The Silicon Review. Recently, Appnomic has gained industry-wide attention and market traction, adding five new enterprises to its customers in Q4 2019 alone, one being a seven-figure contract.

According to IDC estimates, the worldwide IT operations management (ITOM) software market achieved revenue of $9.5 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow 6.9% year-on-year in the next three years. Heal is the only self-healing software in ITOM space; therefore, Appnomic is uniquely positioned in the high growth AI-driven IT operations management segment.

Appnomic customers have achieved, on average, a 60% reduction in false-positive alerts, a 60% reduction in developer time spent on solving problems, and a 75% decrease in incidents.
