EZ Waiting Room Expands their National Effort to Raise Awareness of Type-two Diabetes Risk with a Brandperx Partnership

A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that 84 million American adults (more than 1 in 3) have prediabetes, and EZ Waiting Room wants to do something about this pending crisis. Prediabetes—a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, but not high enough to be classified as type-2 diabetes—affects over 75 million Americans who are unaware of their condition. The ez WaitingRoom™ app offers people a "perfect way to spend a minute" where they can take the one-minute Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test while waiting for their doctor's visit to start.

"We are thrilled to support the effort to increase the awareness of Prediabetes and to assist in making a positive difference in the health of our nation by helping fewer people progress to Type 2 Diabetes; we know that awareness does make a difference for people. The ez WaitingRoom™ app offers people a safe, private, and enjoyable experience on their device while waiting at a doctors' office. Our new partnership with the Brandperx network of over 250,000 doctors opens this up to the vast majority of the people in need in our country," says Ed Young, CEO of EZ Waiting Room LLC. "We're serious about helping doctors reach the positive outcomes that they desire for their patients."

Last year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Medical Association (AMA), and CDC, along with the Ad Council, released PSAs that helped hundreds of thousands of Americans learn their risk for developing type 2 diabetes by directing people to take a Type 2 Diabetes/Prediabetes Risk Test. The American Diabetes Association started a program earlier in 2018 along with the ez WaitingRoom™ app to reach the many millions more that need to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. Building on that program's initial success the program is growing from 15,000 doctor offices to availability in over 150,000 doctor offices through the ez WaitingRoom™ apps partnership with the Brandperx network of over 250,000 doctors. Continue reading.

"Not only do we want to help raise awareness of prediabetes risk factors, but we also want to leverage our connection with doctors to help them identify and deliver care to the patients who have high levels of prediabetes risk. This initiative is more than an awareness campaign; we want to help doctors stage 75 million interventions with the Americans who don't realize they are speeding down the road to type-2 diabetes". -Ed Young, CEO

Patients can often reverse prediabetes through weight loss, diet changes, and increased physical activity. Diagnosis is critical, as research shows that people are much more likely to make the necessary lifestyle changes once they are aware of their condition. A rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes presents a significant threat to people in America, increasing healthcare costs across the country. To reverse this trend, EZ Waiting Room, LLC is supporting the national effort and working to make an impact in the community through the national launch of the ez WaitingRoom™ app and collaboration with the ADA.

Download the app at http://www.ezwaitingroom.com or directly at the app stores, iOS/Android, and additional information on the overall campaign is available online at http://www.doihaveprediabetes.org.

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.

TGA Premier Sports Expands with Four New Franchises

TGA Premier Sports (TGA), a leading youth sports organization specializing in introductory and recreational sports programs, welcomes its latest multi-franchise expansion in California and Virginia.

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.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/1-800-petmeds-announces-return-of.html

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."

TGA's (Teach, Grow, Achieve) unique program delivers introductory youth sports directly at schools and community centers through before- or after-school enrichment programs.

Included in the unparalleled sports experience is student participation in interactive STEAM Labs that allow them to explore and relate concepts such as gravity, aerodynamics and simple machines through the sports they are playing.

TGA's youth sports model has become a leader in the youth sports industries. The governing body of tennis, the United States Tennis Association (USTA), quickly recognized the traction TGA had in schools and joined forces to help TGA develop the fast-growing model for tennis.
