    Avant Technologies and Ainnova Explore Integrating Early Detection of Dementia into AI-Powered Preventative Screening Platform

    LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2025 / Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) (“Avant” or the “Company”), and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the companies are exploring options to integrate the early detection of dementia into Ainnova’s proprietary, AI-powered platform technology, Vision AI. The addition would reinforce the Company’s mission of expanding AI-powered early detection and preventative health solutions across the globe.

    Currently, the Company has identified a promising patented early disease detection technology specializing in the early detection of dementia and is exploring its options to either license the technology globally or potentially acquire the technology altogether. The patented technology combines AI algorithms and hardware based on a 5-minute blood test. Adding the early detection of dementia would expand the offerings in the Company’s technology portfolio and enhance the broader vision of the partnership between Avant and Ainnova.

    The success of the Company’s preventative screening platform involves the deployment of an automated, low-cost retinal imaging device integrated with the Vision AI platform to deliver comprehensive preventive risk screening. Presently, from just two retinal images, blood pressure and some lab test information, the Company’s system uses 4 integrated algorithms to assess risks for: (i) cardiovascular disease (CVD), (ii) type 2 diabetes, (iii) liver fibrosis, and (iv) chronic kidney disease (CKD).

    Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said of the potential expansion of its technology portfolio, “This accessible, fast, and scalable solution is designed to support early intervention and targeted treatment strategies, with the ambition of reaching millions of patients globally in the coming years. Adding the early detection of dementia that this patented technology presents us, would go a long way to making us a leader in the industry of early disease detection.”

  • The Colonial Heart: How Arabella Pascal’s ‘Zanzibar’ Exposes Love’s Darkest Paradoxes

    The Colonial Heart: How Arabella Pascal’s ‘Zanzibar’ Exposes Love’s Darkest Paradoxes

    LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2025 / Historical romance has long been a refuge for those seeking escapism-a world of grand ballrooms, whispered confessions, and neatly tied happy endings. Arabella Pascal’s Zanzibar (2nd Edition) shatters these conventions with the force of a hurricane. This is not a novel that merely entertains; it confronts, challenges, and unsettles. Set against the opulent backdrop of Victorian England and the brutal reality of East Africa’s slave trade, Zanzibar forces readers to grapple with romance’s most uncomfortable question: Can love truly flourish where power is violently unequal? Pascal’s answer is as breathtaking as it is devastating-a story where passion and oppression collide, leaving no heart unscathed.

    The Architect: Arabella Pascal (née Jerri Levi)

    Arabella Pascal is no ordinary romance novelist. An art historian by training, she penned Zanzibar while living in Africa, embedding her prose with the precision of an academic and the fire of a storyteller. Comparisons to Diana Gabaldon are inevitable-both authors wield history like a blade-but Pascal’s work cuts deeper, exposing the psychological scars of colonization with unflinching clarity. Her protagonist, Charlotte Earnshaw, is no simpering debutante but a woman ensnared-first by Zanzibar’s enigmatic Prince Jasim Bin Rashid, then by the gilded cages of her own family’s secrets.

    What sets Pascal apart is her refusal to simplify. Jasim, the so-called villain, is the only character who truly sees Charlotte’s humanity, blurring the line between captor and liberator. Meanwhile, her bonus content, “What Charlotte Wore,” dissects 19th-century fashion with the rigor of a scholar, drawing parallels between the constriction of corsets and the suffocation of colonial rule. This is historical romance as reclamation-a genre often dismissed as frivolous transformed into a vessel for reckoning.

    The Real-World Impact: Romance as Reckoning

    Pascal’s novel doesn’t just subvert romance tropes; it ignites them like gunpowder. The classic “captive falls for captor” dynamic becomes a moral quagmire, forcing readers to question where desire ends and complicity begins. Even the villainous brother-in-law, Derek, is a mirror for patriarchy’s banality-a reminder that oppression often wears a familiar face. Fans of Sandra Brown’s taut suspense will find Gabaldon’s depth here, but with a twist: Zanzibar demands engagement, not just escapism.

    The numbers prove its resonance. Dark romance is surging in popularity, but Zanzibar stands apart-62% of Goodreads reviewers call it “unlike anything they’ve read,” a testament to its unflinching blend of passion and politics. Its recognition as a finalist for the Best Long Historical by the Romance Writers of America underscores its duality: a love story that refuses to look away from history’s darkest corners. Even the audiobook, narrated by British actor Gary Appleton, has captured 40% of sales, a nod to Pascal’s commitment to authenticity.

    The Future: Can Romance Novels Be Radical?

    Pascal’s next project, a thriller set in the Belgian Congo, signals her unwavering mission: to drag romance into the arena of cultural critique. She’s part of a bold new wave of authors challenging the genre to confront its blind spots. Can a “happily ever after” exist when the wounds of history are still raw? Should love stories sidestep oppression for the sake of escapism? These are the questions Zanzibar forces into the light, proving that romance can be both swoon-worthy and revolutionary.

    Conclusion: The Heart in Chains

    Zanzibar is more than a novel-it’s an indictment. Arabella Pascal wields romance like a scalpel, dissecting the illusions of power and desire with surgical precision. In her hands, the genre becomes a rebellion, petticoats and all. The darkest chains, she reminds us, aren’t the ones around the wrists-they’re the ones around the heart.

    PR Toolkit for Evrima Chicago

    The press hook writes itself: “The Romance Novel That’s Too Dangerous for Bridgerton Fans.” Target film blogs with its cinematic potential (Outlander meets 12 Years a Slave), pitch academic journals on its revisionist take on history, and let Pascal’s own words seal the deal: “Writing Zanzibar felt like solving a puzzle-one where the pieces were stained with blood and rosewater.”

    Purchase links and media contacts stand ready. The only question left is: Are readers prepared for a love story that refuses to let them look away?

  • IRS Fresh Start Program Could Be the Key to Reducing Tax Debt – Clear Start Tax Explains How It Works

    IRS Fresh Start Program Could Be the Key to Reducing Tax Debt – Clear Start Tax Explains How It Works

    Clear Start Tax Shows How Americans Are Transforming Tax Burdens Into Fresh Starts

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2025 / For thousands of Americans grappling with back taxes, the IRS Fresh Start Program has opened the door to meaningful relief – but many taxpayers still don’t realize they qualify. Clear Start Tax, a national leader in tax resolution, helps clients turn overwhelming tax problems into manageable solutions.

    A Game-Changer for Taxpayers Struggling With Tax Debt

    Launched to help struggling taxpayers regain stability, the Fresh Start Program offers more than just payment plans – it offers a chance to reduce tax balances, avoid aggressive collections, and reclaim financial peace of mind. Whether through an Offer in Compromise that settles debt for a fraction of what’s owed, a tailored Installment Agreement, or Currently Not Collectible status that halts IRS actions during hardship, these tools have reshaped the financial future of thousands.

    “Many taxpayers are surprised to learn the IRS offers legitimate relief options,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Our focus is on helping clients access these solutions and regain financial stability with confidence.”

    Why Proactive Action Pays Off

    Clear Start Tax emphasizes that early action can make all the difference. Waiting too long can trigger wage garnishments, bank levies, or liens that shrink options and escalate costs. Acting early allows taxpayers to preserve access to the most flexible solutions – and can even unlock better settlement terms.

    How the Fresh Start Program Works

    The IRS Fresh Start Program was designed to help taxpayers resolve back taxes in a manageable, structured way. It works by assessing the taxpayer’s current financial situation – including income, expenses, assets, and liabilities – to determine what level of repayment is realistic. Depending on eligibility, the IRS may agree to reduce the total amount owed, set up a payment plan, or pause collections entirely. To qualify, taxpayers must stay current on future tax filings and submit detailed financial information to demonstrate their hardship or limited ability to pay.

    The Clear Start Tax Difference: Strategy, Advocacy, Results

    What sets Clear Start Tax apart isn’t just its knowledge of IRS programs – it’s the firm’s hands-on, client-first approach. Each case starts with a detailed financial assessment, allowing the team to match the client to the right program. From there, Clear Start Tax handles complex paperwork, negotiates directly with IRS agents, and stays by the client’s side through every step of the process.

    “Our role isn’t just to fill out forms – it’s to be a strategist, an advocate, and a guide,” added the Head of Client Solutions. “We help people regain control of their finances, not just their ledgers.”

    About Clear Start Tax

    Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise. Clear Start Tax helps taxpayers apply for the IRS Fresh Start Program, providing expert guidance in tax resolution. Fully accredited and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, the firm’s unique approach and commitment to long-term client success distinguish it as a leader in the tax resolution industry.

  • Liberty Personal Loans Help Australians Fund Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades

    Liberty Personal Loans Help Australians Fund Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades

    As Australians seek to reduce gas and electricity usage, Liberty says personal loans could help make efficient-home upgrades a possibility.

    MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 25, 2025 / The Australian Government committed $1.8 billion to extending the Energy Relief Fund in the 2025-26 Federal Budget – an initiative providing rebates on household energy bills until December 2025.

    While this support is welcome, particularly during the colder months, many may be seeking long-term strategies to improve the efficiency and comfort of their homes.

    From replacing outdated appliances to installing double-glazed windows and new insulation, improving a home’s energy performance often involves a combination of upgrades. However, the upfront costs are a barrier for many.

    Non-bank lender Liberty offers personal loans as a practical way to manage the upfront expenses involved with these upgrade projects, allowing homeowners to spread the cost of materials and labour over time.

    According to Communications Manager Bernadine Pantarotto, personal loans support Australians in achieving their goals while staying on top of their budget.

    “Making your home more energy efficient could deliver many benefits, from year-round comfort to potential long-term savings,” Ms Pantarotto said.

    “Liberty personal loans are designed with flexibility in mind, helping you bring your plans to life sooner.”

    Liberty says consumers could also use a personal loan for other purposes, including for travel, wedding planning, medical expenses, and debt consolidation.

    With loan amounts of up to $80,000 and an easy online application process, Liberty offers a fast and convenient way for customers to access the finance they need. In some cases, approved applicants may even receive funds on the same day.

    “As free thinkers, we champion inclusive lending practises to help everyone access the support they need.”

    Liberty takes a holistic approach to credit assessment, considering a range of customer circumstances – including those with variable income and less-than-perfect credit histories.

    “We believe people are more than their circumstances and find innovative ways to support them,” Ms Pantarotto said.

    Along with personal loans, the leading lender offers flexible home, car, business, commercial and SMSF loans.

    About Liberty
    As one of Australia’s leading non-bank lenders, Liberty offers innovative solutions to support customers with greater choice. Over more than 27 years, this free-thinking approach to loan solutions has seen more than 900,000 customers across a wide range of home, car, business and personal loans, as well as SMSF lending and insurance.
