Iranian-American Wall Street Pioneer Page Khalajestani Shares Political Insider News Breaking From Iran

IRANIAN Expat, American business woman and Registered Investment Advisor Page Khalajestani, who was the first female trader on Wall Street and mentored by Warren Trepp ( Mike Milken's head trader on the high yld bond trading desk) is now available to share her uniquely qualified insight on Iran's current state of affairs both economically and politically.

Ms. Khalajestani who was born and raised in Iran until age ten, offers her dual citizenship perspective on current events in the country, both privately and from a business perspective. As the daughter of a Colonel in the Shah's Imperial Army and a Counter Intelligence officer - her mother Farideh Tehrani who served in the second bureau of the Shah's Imperial Army and whose managing top 4 star Generals including General Pakravan and General Nassiri both were executed at the outset of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, before Page and her family sought and were granted political asylum a decade later in 1993.

As a ground-breaking pioneer on Wall Street, being one of the first female institutional international equities and bond traders on the sell side, she is uniquely vetted on the current economy and the impact of the sanctions on the finances and their effects on the people of Iran. Ms. Khalajestani can speak to all aspects of Iran's economic and political state as she maintains close ties to informed key individuals and corporate clients inside Iran and out, including ex prisoners of the Islamic Republic who were close colleagues of her parents and whom she refers to as family members who are active from the US in the recruitment and organization of the growing opposition inside Iran.

Also as a Registered Investment Advisor and the founder of Pakha Investment Advisory in California, she offers a financial profile impact on businesses both internally in Iran and of those who currently do business with Iran from Europe and Asia in addition to commentary on the effects of the currency devaluation on every day life as the first step to break down the countries economy and force the public to protest the current regime's inability to stabilize the finances of the country, provide employment and economic growth to the more than 65% of under 30 yrs of age citizens out of the 90 million mostly Shi ite population.

She is fluent in Farsi and has daily updates from Iran on the average Iranian's view of President Trump's politics both in the US and as it pertains to expected increased pressure on the current Iranian regime. Although she fully supports the president's domestic and international policies, she can shed light and give personal views as to why a counter revolution has yet to take place and what other options could make it possible to further advance that directive.

Being privy to the internal turmoil that additional sanctions and the US withdrawal from the Obama mandated Nuclear Deal with Iran has brought to the average Iranian and European and Asian countries who currently benefit from the absence of the US/UK competition in business and commerce dealings with Iran, will provide new and insightful explanations and perspective currently missing from discussions across the media.

Hiretual Adds Augmented Intelligence To Its AI-Powered Sourcing Platform For Recruiters

Hiretual (https://www.hiretual.com), the AI-driven technology company currently used by more than 100K global recruiters from more than 250 companies, including Fortune 500 and globally-recognized brands, today introduced new Market Insights and Candidate Persona functionality to its AI-powered sourcing platform. Creating augmented intelligence between human and machine, the new features give recruiters deeper insight into how Hiretual's AI interprets their candidate sourcing search requests, enabling them to build a stronger talent pipeline and find the candidates they seek faster.

Market Insights immediately starts to populate a talent pool as a recruiter enters information and selects details about that talent pool, such as common job titles, skills, industries, locations, experience, and more. It also allows recruiters to build and export a report on the talent pool for a specific job search, helping them communicate the availability of talent to hiring managers. The new Candidate Persona functionality offers recruiters real-time insight into how the Hiretual AI is interpreting their candidate search request by revealing how the talent pool increases or decreases in real time depending on the titles, skill sets, and other search criteria the recruiter enters. Hiretual goes far beyond Boolean search, utilizing Natural Language Processing to understand the intent of each candidate search and then extending the search to include appropriate terminology associated with the intent. As a result, recruiters gain a greater understanding of how the AI is performing and how the inputs they enter impact the talent pool size for a specific candidate search.

"Hiretual's new Market Insights and Candidate Personas enables a type of 'augmented intelligence' between human and machine," said Steven Jiang, CEO and co-founder of Hiretual. "This level of transparency will help recruiters better understand how AI-powered search operates and also empower them to create more successful candidate searches faster than ever before."

The Market Insights and Candidate Persona functionality also displays context and terminology relationships to recruiters as they develop their AI sourcing task. This feature is particularly beneficial for recruiters who are new to the profession or a specific talent niche, as it aids in their training and development within the industry/profession in which they are searching, and decreases the amount of assistance they need from other recruiters and Talent Acquisition (TA) leaders.

How Hiretual works.
Hiretual's AI-powered search functionality taps into the 'dark matter' of undiscovered talent and professional data on the web as it converts unstructured data from more than 700M profiles across 30+ platforms and the open web into rich, holistic professional profiles. Using this data, Hiretual ranks candidates by how well they match the requirements of a job, and automatically adjusts rankings for the next round of candidates based on user interactions – creating a Proactive Talent Pipeline that grows more precise over time. As a result, recruiters engage the strongest candidates first, improve hiring conversion rates, and save dozens of hours on every hire. Hiretual seamlessly integrates with a recruiter's existing ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and CRM (Candidate Relationship Management), to refresh, enrich and re-discover candidate data, and also provides candidate contact information, email automation, and tracking to make the next step instant and measurable. Recruiters can easily keep track of their talent pipeline using projects, hiring stages, and also invite team members or hiring managers to participate in candidate selection.

Glassdoor reports the number one obstacle in the hiring process is a shortage of candidates, while GetAppLab's 2017 survey revealed that more than 40 percent of recruiters report the biggest challenge they face is a shortage of candidates. Enterprises of all sizes are seeking passive candidates to fill open positions due to low unemployment rates and a drastic shortage of qualified candidates across a variety of industries, including AI, blockchain, healthcare, and others. According to the Statistics October 2018 report" rel="nofollow">U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Statistics October 2018 report, the current U.S. unemployment rate is 3.7% or 6.1 million, with seven million job openings.

Since 2003, TGA has been impacting schools, youth and families nationwide with its innovative youth sports curriculum. TGA includes 118 franchises across the country and Canada, and over 875,000 kids have participated.

Kevin Oliver, a former software and technology executive, has acquired three TGA franchises, Golf, Tennis, and Team Sports, in Los Angeles covering the areas of Long Beach, Seal Beach, and Los Alamitos.

"I have been an active sports enthusiast my entire life with an entrepreneurial side that together is the perfect combination for TGA," Oliver said. "I am very excited to bring these programs to area schools and community centers and positively impact the lives of children in our neighborhoods through sports – the same way it had an effect on me at their age."

In Fairfax County, Va., the USTA Mid-Atlantic section continues to expand its Master Franchise. The new franchise will give them impact on youth across eight markets. Alex Chan, who has been a chapter director since 2010, will lead the new franchise. He said the benefit of the TGA model is implementing an effective infrastructure.

"With the TGA franchise model, and how they quickly guide you through the necessary steps to develop programs, it allowed us to hit the ground running," Chan said. "As we have continued to expand, we recognize that schools have proven to be the perfect venue to introduce youth in the masses to the sports of tennis, golf, and team sports. TGA developed the perfect platform to do just that."

Dr. Praveen Kadimcherla with Atlantic Spine Center Offers Tips to Approach Recovery in Short- and Longer-term After Spine-straightening Procedure

By the time scoliosis becomes severe enough to require surgery, reducing this potentially dangerous curvature of the spine is certainly the top goal. But patients face a long list of do's and don'ts in the months after surgery that can help smooth their recovery, according to Praveen Kadimcherla, MD, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Atlantic Spine Center.

The most common spinal deformity in school-age children, scoliosis affects about 2% to 3% of kids under the age of 16, according to the University of Washington. For some, the condition may begin in childhood and worsen in adulthood, leading to corrective surgery if lungs or other internal organs are squeezed by the curved spine. About 29,000 scoliosis surgeries are performed in the United States every year, mostly on adolescents, according to the Clear Scoliosis Institute.

"Scoliosis surgery isn't done unless someone has a severe curvature of the spine, typically 45 to 50 degrees or more," Dr. Kadimcherla explains. "It's major surgery and not something to be taken lightly. But patients are always glad to hear that they have some control over how well they recover if they follow some guidelines for what to do or not do in the first weeks and months afterward." Read related news here.

Long-term view toward recovery
Scoliosis surgery fuses vertebrae in the spine to both correct the curve and stop it from worsening. The 4- to 8-hour procedure typically involves placing rods, screws, wires or other surgical hardware in the spine to help keep it straight, while also using a bone graft to stimulate bone healing in the fused vertebrae.

Given the procedure's complexity, a several-day hospital stay is usually required, Dr. Kadimcherla notes. During the immediate post-surgical period, heavy painkillers are often needed and a physical therapist works with the patient in the hospital to get them up and moving about adequately before they go home.

"We've moved muscles and re-aligned the skeleton, so naturally patients have quite a recovery process ahead of them," he says. "It's also a process that requires both a short-term and longer-term mindset to realistically approach their everyday activities. They can break down their post-surgery expectations into shorter and longer periods."

Typical timetable of activities
Want some guidance on what to do – and what to avoid doing – after scoliosis surgery? Dr. Kadimcherla offers these tips:

1 week after surgery:

1 month after surgery:

3 to 6 months after surgery:

Dr. Kadimcherla cautions that it may take a full year to heal completely after scoliosis surgery, and contact sports may not be undertaken until that time.

"It takes a solid year for the spine to be completely fused and ready for all activities after this major surgery," he says. "But by sticking to a logical set of do's and don'ts, patients can help ensure they're back to doing all their favorite things as soon as possible." Read news here.

Atlantic Spine Center is a nationally recognized leader for endoscopic spine surgery with several locations in NJ and NYC. http://www.atlanticspinecenter.com, http://www.atlanticspinecenter.nyc More info here.

New Kid-Friendly Anti-Street-Racing Strategy Welcomes Community Involvement

MotorGospel Ministries is pleased to announce the latest milestone in their life-saving anti-street-racing campaign.

Beginning in December, MotorGospel Ministries will sponsor a monthly anti-street-racing outreach event at MB2 Raceway in Sylmar. In cooperation with LA City Council President Pro Tempore Mitchell Englander, the LAPD Central Traffic Division and the LAPD Valley Traffic Division, MotorGospel Ministries will hold the monthly Beat The Heat event to allow civilians the opportunity to race against off-duty LAPD officers.

In the words of MotorGospel Ministries founder Pastor Aaron Schwartzbart, "The anti-street-racing event at MB2 builds on the success of the monthly Beat The Heat program we operate at Irwindale Dragstrip with several key changes." Unlike the drag racing program, the MB2 event will allow children as young as 12 years old to compete. Additionally, MB2 has graciously offered to donate a portion of the proceeds from the applicable ticket sales to MotorGospel Ministries' anti-street-racing campaign.

The latter is an answer to the many community members that have asked what they can do about illegal street racing. Simply by showing up and racing at MB2 for the monthly Beat The Heat event, community members are helping financially to support MotorGospel Ministries' anti-street-racing campaign. No experience is required and there is a high probability that you and your family will have some fun while helping save lives.

For more information on how you can support this important program, contact Pastor Aaron Schwartzbart at motorgospel(at)att(dot)net or call 818.620.7132.
