Girls Inc. Announces New Leadership

Girls Inc., the nation's leading girl development organization, has named Stephanie J. Hull President & CEO and Tony Bucci National Board Chair. Both Hull and Bucci began their roles on May 15. Hull most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Bucci, who is Chairman of marketing agency MARC USA, has served on the Girls Inc. Board since 2007.

"Knowing the measurable difference Girls Inc. makes in the lives of girls, there is an imperative to grow," said Melanie Gray, immediate past Board Chair. "Stephanie and Tony are dedicated to expanding the organization's reach and impact, bringing the proven Girls Inc. Programming experience to many more girls, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to thrive."

Hull brings a long career in education and leadership development. She served as Head of School for The Brearley School, an all-girls school located in New York City, and also held various leadership and management positions at Mount Holyoke and Dartmouth Colleges. As a women's and youth advocate, Hull has served on the Boards of the Professional Children's School, Code Nation, Culture of Respect, and Humanity in Action.

"It's a privilege to be leading this organization at this moment," said Hull. "The challenges girls face—particularly girls of color and girls from low-income communities—are increasingly urgent, and the need for support is critical. Girls Inc. Is providing that support: Through direct service work with girls as well as through policy and advocacy efforts, we are breaking down the systemic barriers that hold girls back."

"We have a tremendous opportunity to significantly increase access to the knowledge, skills, and support that Girls Inc. provides," said Bucci. "This demands we have a scalable, adaptable model to effectively deliver outcomes for girls, and a strong affiliate network equipped to consistently deliver the quality experience. We have both, and are investment ready and committed to maximizing all our resources to benefit the girls we serve."

Bucci previously served as National Vice Chair of Girls Inc., and has been a major investor and key driver in the success of the organization's $20M capital growth campaign. Through his agency, MARC USA, Bucci has also provided significant marketing and branding support to the organization. Bucci has decades of board service and strategic philanthropic leadership. Previously he chaired the national board of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and was a member of the national board of KaBoom.

Girls Inc. provides programming to more than 132,000 girls across the U.S. and Canada, and advocates for policy and culture change to improve the conditions in which all girls are growing up. Last year, Girls Inc. launched the #Girls Too: Respect Starts Young campaign, which focuses on sexual harassment and violence in the lives of youth, particularly girls, with actions aimed at addressing the norms and stereotypes that fuel these behaviors.

The $100M network serves girls ages 6-18 at more than 1,500 sites in 348 cities in North America, and is expanding into new, high-need communities and increasing partnerships with schools.

BindTuning Releases Automated Deployment Engine for Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams

BindTuning is the leading all-in-one platform for building connected and engaging workplaces in SharePoint and Office 365. With Automate365, independent software vendors (ISVs), managed services providers, and systems integrators gain access to a powerful deployment engine that streamlines their workflows and scales the delivery of initial product deployments, software patches, and feature updates. Automate365 will also speed up the deployment of intranet sites that need to reflect consistent branding and functionalities, such as internal team sites and customer portals.

Automate365 enables providers to package multiple workflows and dependencies into a single solution that can be easily customized to meet the requirements of different customers. The result is faster, consistent and error-free deployments of proprietary software products, technology solutions, and intranet sites.

"We're very excited about releasing Automate365 for widespread use," said Beatriz Oliveira, Microsoft MVP and CEO/Founder of BindTuning. "We know that service providers have an ongoing need to deploy their products in a consistent manner. But until now they didn't have an easy way to manage what is typically a highly complex process. With Automate365, they can scale their efforts and better serve their customers."

Automate365 has already been implemented by Storyals, an Ed-Tech startup that helps companies increase user adoption of Microsoft Office 365 by providing highly engaging, story-based tutorials. Customers access Storyals training via custom portals from within their own Office 365 environment. Prior to working with BindTuning, Storyals had no way to automate the customization, packaging and deployment of their learning sites.

"Our collaboration with BindTuning provided us with an extraordinary opportunity to offer direct input into the features that should be built into Automate365," said Ulrika Hedlund, Founder of Storyals. "Ours was a highly productive partnership, one that completely transformed our business model. We were able to leverage Automate365 to efficiently scale our capacity and revamp our product offering to include the newly launched Microsoft 365 learning pathways (formerly known as Custom Learning for Office 365) into our solution. With BindTuning and Automate365 we can now easily provide customers with branded Storyals learning portals."

Licensing subscriptions will be available starting late May 2019. Existing BindTuning customers will need to purchase a separate subscription to access Automate365. All licensing agreements include permission for white label use, which is made easier thanks to multiple built-in design features that help customers to match their corporate branding. To learn more, visit Automate365.io.

BindTuning and Storyals will also be hosting a live webinar to discuss how Automate 365 and Storyals are transforming how businesses remain competitive in today's market. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 at 11:00 am EST. We invite you to register here.

Fast-Growing Random Video Chat Chatspin Vigorously Tackles Safety Issues; Gains Interesting New Market Data

Random video chat apps for meeting new friends and dating remain hugely popular, but this social media sector has also attracted unsavory people engaging in inappropriate or even illegal behavior. Fast-growing free random video chat app Chatspin, a relatively new entrant to the market (founded in 2015), has been vigorously tackling safety issues, as its surveys find interesting new market data.

Chatspin this month is implementing groundbreaking AI face detection technology that automatically scans live video streams and instantly blurs a broadcast if no face appears – thus, along with other safeguards, fully blocking nudity. This feature – an industry first -- will now make it much easier to find connections on Chatspin without being exposed to inappropriate behavior.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/school-bus-safety-company-inc-announces.html

Surpassing the one million users milestone this year, Chatspin also became the first video chat platform to offer AR face filters specifically for the web, previously only offered in video chat apps. It has also become the only random video chat platform available in both app stores (Google Play and Apple App Store) and on the web. Read all the related news.

"Safety Not Just Goal but Passion"; Harnessing Machine Learning Technology

Chatspin's CEO and Co-Founder Richard Fox stresses the importance of safety for Chatspin users and the company alike. "We can never, ever guarantee safety in the online social media world; bad people may always find their way in, just as they can in the offline social world, at a bar or at a concert. But we can promise a continuous effort, utilizing advanced technology, to try to maximize safety for our users."

Chatspin, even before its latest new safety innovation, was employing cutting-edge machine learning software to ban more than one million users for inappropriate nudity in the first few months of the year. Rolled out across all versions of Chatspin's video chat application, the machine learning software detects instances of nudity from any user on the chat platform. Developed by feeding the software clips of nudity previously found on the video chat app, it has so far proved to be 99.5% accurate – a higher strike-rate than that of human moderators.

The number of users banned for inappropriate behavior since the implementation of the machine learning software reached record levels, according to Chatspin. As the software continues to learn, Chatspin expects it to become even more accurate and efficient in identifying cases of nudity on the app.

Of the Chatspin users banned so far, 92 percent have been male, four percent female, and four percent couples or groups. The average amount of time that a user has been on the platform prior to being flagged for nudity has also decreased by 150 percent since the software was rolled out.

To further help foster security among its users, Chatspin does not require any personal details from users to use the video chat platform. And its newly introduced AR face filters allow a user to apply effects in real-time that hide some or all of their face while chatting.

"For users to have the right kind of experiences, we need to try our best to keep out the wrong kind or people," stresses Fox. "This is not just a goal of ours, but a passion, because we're users too." Click here to read the latest news.

A Favorite Haunt for Introverts

Chatspin also reveals that its app appears to be a favorite haunt for introverts. Fox says that "the nature of the platform – allowing users to meet people randomly for short periods of time – suits the personality of introverted people who at times find it difficult to cope with the pressures of maintaining friendships on other social networks such as Facebook."

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/early-childhood-education-experts-new_30.html

Of those users who described themselves as an introvert in a Chatspin survey, 62 percent said that they prefer using random chat platforms over other social media outlets. Just 21 percent said they prefer other social media platforms, while 13 percent said both and 4 percent said neither.

An NPD study found that that more than half of all millennials use real-time video capabilities on their smartphones. The same study also revealed that video chatting is the third most popular activity undertaken by people aged between 18 and 34.

About Chatspin
Chatspin is a free random video chat app which is available on Google Play, Apple App Store, and web browsers. The chat platform allows users to develop new friendships and relationships with people worldwide using a webcam and an internet connection. Users can enjoy features including cam filters and effects, gender filters, country filters, an intuitive and straightforward interface, and control over audio and visual settings. The service simultaneously connects tens of thousands of people randomly every day.
