ABC Sets ‘Celebrity Family Feud,’ ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ for Summer Premiere
ABC has set its summer slate with four new series including “Celebrity Family Feud,” which joins longtime veterans “The Bachelorette,” “Extreme Weight Loss” and last year’s hit “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Three of the new series are reality competition shows — “500 Questions,” “Celebrity Family Feud” and “BattleBots,” a revival of the early 2000s robot death match series that ran on Comedy Central.
*Also Read:* FX Sets Summer Premieres for Denis Leary’s ‘Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll,’ Louis CK’s Standup Special
Joining those new shows is the Steven Spielberg-produced “The Whispers,” a conspiracy drama about children in Washington, D.C. who are told by an imaginary friend to do horrible things — only to find out he’s not so imaginary.
Rounding out the slate are “Mistresses,” “Rookie Blue” and “Celebrity Wife Swap.”

“THE BACHELORETTE” – PREMIERES MONDAY, MAY 18
Will it be Kaitlyn or Britt? ABC’s hit romantic reality series, “The Bachelorette,” will kick off its 11th season with one of the biggest surprises of all: there will be two Bachelorettes greeting their suitors for the first time ever. The charming, charismatic beauty, Britt, who captivated Chris Soules and the rest of Bachelor Nation with a memorable hug on that first night at the Bachelor mansion, and Kaitlyn, the gorgeous, fun-loving, warm-hearted, but irreverent firecracker who let down her guard only to have her heart crushed will take their place in Bachelorette history. Who will the men prefer? Eventually, only one woman will be left to hand out the final rose. Chris Harrison hosts.
“500 QUESTIONS” – PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, MAY 20
From Emmy® winner Mark Burnett, CEO, United Artists Media Group (“Shark Tank,” “Survivor,” “The Voice”), and Mike Darnell, President, Warner Bros. Unscripted & Alternative Television, and Warner Horizon Television (“The Voice,” “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” “Bachelor in Paradise”) comes “500 Questions,” an all-new game show event where the smartest people in the country try to achieve the seemingly impossible task of answering 500 of the most difficult general knowledge questions ever devised. There’s only one simple rule: never get three wrong in a row — or you’re gone. No saves, no helps, no multiple choice, “500 Questions” will keep you on the edge of your seat to see if any of these geniuses can do it. It is the ultimate test, where intellect, strategy and stamina are all equally essential in order to win. The innovative “genius game show,” hosted by CNN’s Richard Quest (“Quest Means Business”), will air nine hours over nine nights, premiering on Wednesday, May 20 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), with its season finale set for Thursday, May 28.

In this series, two members of celebrity families swap lives (but not bedrooms), and embark on a journey like no other to experience another family’s way of life, including raising children, cultural and religious traditions and family dynamics, all while dealing with life in the spotlight. In the end, the couples have the opportunity to reflect and re-discover their connections and what brought them together in the first place.

Hosts and trainers Chris and Heidi Powell will help three couples get in shape together, both physically and emotionally, for each of their upcoming weddings. Guest-starring as each couple’s “Wedding Dream-Team” are David Tutera (“David Tutera’s CELEBrations” on WE tv) as the wedding planner; Rocco DiSpirito (“Extreme Weight Loss” Healthy Food Coach and bestselling author of “Cook Your Butt Off!”) will cater the weddings; and “Duff” Goldman (owner of Charm City Cakes and Food Network star) will design the wedding decadence.

“THE WHISPERS” – PREMIERES MONDAY, JUNE 1
We love to play games with our children. But what happens when someone else starts to play with them, too? Someone we don’t know. Can’t see. Can’t hear. In “The Whispers,” someone or something – is manipulating the ones we love most to commit the unthinkable. In the country’s center of political power, Washington D.C., several kids have been talking about their imaginary friend, Drill. What the parents don’t know is that this friend is not as imaginary as they think. And when the mysterious games Drill convinces them to play turn dangerous, FBI child specialist Claire Bennigan is called in to investigate. What is it that Drill wants, and why does he – or it – only communicate with children? As the clock counts down, a suspenseful race will begin to save not only their families, but the world. Before it’s too late.

When it comes to love, these girlfriends find support and guidance with each other as they push the limits, test their boundaries and discover just how far they are prepared to go. They are willing to brave love’s turbulent journey, as well as its excitement, secrecy and betrayal, all the while bound by the complex relationships they’ve created.

Digi-Me and iHire have formally partnered to offer iHire customers digital job videos to enhance their postings. Digi-Me's job videos give 3x the SEO while also providing better visibility and conversion rates.
Search Engine Optimization is critical to any online recruitment strategy, given that 80% of job seekers start their search on Google and Google indexes video 53x higher on a search. Search engines instantly recognize Digi-Me's video player as a valid content provider, which allows customers to rank multiple times on the 1st page of Google in less than a few hours. The relationship between Digi-Me and iHire allows hiring organizations to leverage iHire's targeted, category-specific boards in combination with the power of video.
When a candidate watches a video about an opening versus just reading text, they learn and retain up to 60% more information about a position. This clearer understanding translates to candidates more accurately opting in or out of the application process based on fit.
Digi-Me's mobile functionality allows candidates to view and apply for jobs directly from their phones by either pulling information from social media profiles to populate application forms or allowing candidates to upload résumés from online file storage sites, such as GoogleDocs.
"It is imperative for companies today to strategize their recruitment efforts in a way that is targeted to specific types of talent, which is what job seekers are looking for," said Lindsay Stanton, Chief Client Officer of Digi-Me. "Digi-Me's integration with iHire allows employers to create deeper brand recognition, improve candidate engagement, and drive higher-quality applicants."

CU School of Medicine offers first-of-its-kind “Foundations for Global Health Responders” open online MOOC course in global health care
First-of its-kind, free massive open online course (MOOC) from CU School of Medicine provides everyone and anyone competencies in global health care.
AURORA, Colo. (PRWEB) April 09, 2015
As a growing number of workers and volunteers travel abroad to assist during times of disaster and crisis, they often are exposed to unfamiliar and sometimes extreme situations for which they are unprepared. Presented by the University of Colorado Department of Emergency Medicine’s Section of Wilderness and Environmental Medicine at the Anschutz Medical Campus, the free Coursera Foundations for Global Health Responders MOOC teaches responsible engagement during health care crises near and far.
Launching May 4, Foundations for Global Health Responders gives the introductory global health knowledge needed to contextualize experience, optimize self-reliance and situational awareness, and allow learners to be more effective in their work in low-to-middle-income countries. The six-week course focuses on changing trends in the 21st century, including urbanization, environmental stress, and resource scarcity, as well as global health security with a focus on access to food, water, and energy. Other areas of focus include the global burden of disease, human rights and how to prepare to be an effective global health participant and savvier world traveler.
After the Haitian earthquake in 2010, thousands of well-meaning humanitarian responders flooded the country in hopes of providing assistance and relief, yet many of them were unprepared for the conditions and ill-prepared to take care of themselves, and ultimately were more of a hindrance than a help. The course is not about disaster response; rather it is about responsible engagement, to provide the introductory foundational knowledge necessary to be a meaningful participant in the world of global health.
Designed and led by experts from CU, Harvard School of Public Health and Weill Cornell Medical College, Foundations for Global Health Responders will also provide basic competencies for organization or university members traveling abroad with a goal toward mitigating institutional risk. “We developed this course as a starting point for all-comers, and have invoked the guiding principle of medicine as our mantra: Do No Harm,” said Jay Lemery, M.D., associate professor of emergency medicine in the CU School of Medicine.
The six-week course is a primer for people who seek the knowledge and skills to effectively participate in global health ventures. Participants should plan on spending between three and six hours studying each week. The course is meant to be a stand-alone introduction to global health, but also serves as the first step toward a more advanced certification. To sign up or to learn more about the Foundations for Global Health Responders MOOC, please visit http://www.coursera.org/course/ghresponder.
Those wishing to obtain additional hands-on skill sets are invited to participate in an in-person three-day Global Health Advanced First Aid course—offered throughout the world in 2015—to be certified as a Global Health Responder through the University Of Colorado School Of Medicine. CU Medical School Faculty—leaders in austere care medical education—will be leading the courses. Details including dates and locations can be found at CU Wilderness and Environmental Medicine.

Android Devices to Benefit from the Power of Confirmit Horizons
New mobile CAPI solution lowers costs for regional research and feedback programs
New York, NY and Oslo, Norway and London, UK (PRWEB) April 09, 2015
Confirmit has developed a new personal interviewing solution that opens up new market opportunities for organizations running regional and global field-based Market Research and Voice of the Customer programs. CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) for Android enables businesses to take advantage of the accessible price point of Android devices when conducting sophisticated, interviewer-led research and feedback programs without compromising survey quality.
Terry Lawlor, EVP Product Management at Confirmit, explained: “CAPI for Android provides a huge opportunity for MR organizations and enterprises alike to conduct field research using a highly cost-effective and efficient channel. Surveys that are authored using Confirmit Horizons can now be deployed on Android devices without any changes and using the full power of Horizons surveys. The CAPI console is available in 42 languages, including Chinese and Japanese, enabling easy deployment for multi-region or remote programs that need to be deployed in multiple languages.
Confirmit CAPI for Android supports the full range of question types available in Confirmit Horizons, including multimedia support, such as image capture, providing a rich and powerful interviewing experience. It also adds a deeper level of validation to survey responses, thanks to the ability to capture location and gather instant feedback at the point of experience.
Sean Regan, Head of Global Operations Technology at GfK, a long-standing user of Confirmit Horizons and Confirmit CAPI solutions, commented: “Confirmit has always demonstrated a clear and strategic understanding of market needs. The introduction of CAPI for Android is no exception as it answers a real demand for accessible electronic interviewing solutions. We are existing users of Confirmit CAPI for Windows, and the ability to run highly sophisticated surveys on Android devices will be a great benefit to us in many regions around the world, particularly in remote and developing markets, as our business expands and consolidates globally.
“The comprehensive local language support will allow our regional field teams to blend vital global insights with local market intelligence. In addition, the ability to capture location and images through the surveys will add the richness of data that our clients increasingly demand.”
Confirmit CAPI for Android is an interviewer-based App that can be downloaded to any Android device and then used by interviewers to conduct surveys without needing an Internet connection. It is built on the Confirmit Horizons solution which allows organizations to author a survey once and then deploy it across multiple channels. As with all Confirmit solutions, it offers a totally secure console log-in and secure and encrypted storage of response data.
Confirmit CAPI for Android is immediately available to Confirmit Horizons clients.
