School Bus Safety Checklist for Parents and Kids Provided by Zonar

Each October, the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) hosts National School Bus Safety Week – five days dedicated to highlighting the importance of school bus safety among parents, school officials and motorists. In celebration of this year's theme, "My Driver - My Safety Hero!," Zonar, the leader in smart fleet management technology, developed an easy-to-follow printable checklist for families and students to help keep them safe while on the school bus.

Each day school bus drivers transport nearly 26 million students1 and play an undeniably important role in ensuring the nation's children get to school and home safely. But the drivers need support, and both parents and children have a role to play in helping their bus drivers keep all passengers safe while on the road.

"Being a school bus driver is a rewarding but incredibly tough job," says Kevin Mest, senior vice president & general manager of passenger services at Zonar. "They're charged with keeping our children safe while on the road so it's up to parents to work with their kids to follow simple steps before, during and after a bus ride, making it easy for drivers to protect and transport their passengers. Student management becomes a safety issue as it distracts the driver's attention."

Parents and children can find the downloadable guide at https://www.zonarsystems.com/articles/how-to-be-your-school-bus-drivers-safety-hero/

Zonar creates technology solutions that collect and analyze data from a wide-variety of vehicles including trucks, school buses and construction equipment. This information empowers drivers and fleet managers with the data and analysis needed to better navigate any route and safely manage passengers. Zonar technology is on over 180,000 school buses nation-wide, helping school districts bolster and improve the safety of school bus passengers, providing parents peace-of-mind by ensuring they know where their children are while on the road.

Earlier this year, Zonar partnered with Child Check-Mate to provide schools with a child safety alert system, ensuring no child is left on a vehicle accidentally. They've also partnered with NAPT to sponsor the annual Don Carnahan Memorial Grant, offering up to $50,000 worth of industry-leading technology hardware that improves the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of pupil transportation programs in the United States and Canada. Winners of the grant will be announced on October 29, 2018 at the NAPT Conference & Trade Show.

Family Orbit Parental Monitoring App Celebrates Being Certified by KidSAFE+ COPPA-Certified Seal, an FTC Approved “Safe-harbor” Program

Predators and other dangers often hunt children over the phone and online, in patterns well established by law enforcement. This makes taking smart preventive measures a responsibility no parent or guardian should take lightly. Answering the call as a dependable resource to help in this area is Family Orbit, an app that allows parents to monitor and restrict how their children use their phones, helping safeguard them from potentially dangerous communications, or worse encounters. The company recently announced the new app is KidSafe+ COPPA certified, that delivers clear proof that the child user's privacy meets all FTC guidelines in this vital area.

"Family Orbit has made our highest priority to be certain that the data captured from our children user's phones are handled in reliable and dependable compliance to the COPPA guidelines that have been set in place for very good reasons," commented Aliya Beck, Manager at AppOBit LLC "We teamed up with the experts at Samet Privacy, LLC, to both make sure we complied with FTC guidelines concerning COPPA and our app is providing the high-level of protection that we demand of it ourselves."

To verify this independently, Family Orbit has been reviewed, certified, and listed by kidSAFE to meet all of the requirements demanded by the FTC to offer this kind of parental monitoring service.

According to the company, the parental control and monitoring app hands the keys to the lock of what their children can do with their phone both online and off. This includes monitoring and supervision of phone calls, photos, texts, GPS location, what websites they can or cannot visit and much more. Their child can also connect with their family through chat and check-ins, as needed or agreed upon. Cyberbullying, pedophilia, and "sexting" are real dangers that Family Orbit seeks to remove completely or minimize as much as possible.

The kidSAFE Seal Program was founded and developed by an experienced children's privacy consultant, Shai Samet who has won both praise and awards for his work. The project is also helped with guidance from the highest-level of Internet safety experts, including Anne Collier (ConnectSafely.org), Ken Leonard (former CEO, ScanAlert) and Marian Merritt (Norton/Symantec). Visit here for more info: https://www.kidsafeseal.com/aboutourseals.html

Children under 13 in the United States are protected by The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), starting in 1998 with major updates made to further protect kids in 2013. It is enforced by the FTC, making sure parents have control over what data is collected from their children online.

Android and iOS versions of Family Orbit are both available at a subscription cost $14.95 per month. To learn more about the app, visit https://www.familyorbit.com

About AppObit LLC: Founded in July 2015 – AppObit LLC is a new startup dedicated to creating apps for family safety and security.

Memorials.com Expands Consumer Choices With the Release of an Exclusive New Apple Cremation Urn

Online memorial products retailer Memorials.com is continuing its strong commitment to consumer choices with the release of its latest exclusive cremation urn: an apple shaped glass urn hand blown, exclusively for Memorial.com, by a United States based artist.

"The Apple Cremation Urn is crafted by one of the Great Glass Masters of our time," the Apple Urn is very unique. We had one customer purchase the urn which was from New York and he stated, "That he wanted to stay in the Big Apple as he said after ordering the urn."A video featuring the apple urn is available here.

The Apple Cremation Urn is the latest addition to the company's constantly expanding line of thousands of cremation urns. It is featured in the website's glass urns section, which offers more than 100 hand-crafted urns in a wide variety of styles, colors, shapes, and prices. The Apple Urn is one of four glass urn designs that are exclusive to Memorials.com. One of these other exclusive urns is a pineapple shaped piece that was featured in a 2013 Time Magazine article about the ever-growing -- and often surprising – choices of cremation urns (and other memorial products) available for consumers.

As noted in the Time article, cremation is now practices in more than half of deaths in the United States, and some death care industry experts predict it will be used in more than 70 percent of deaths by 2020. The explosion of popularity in cremation in recent years has been driven, in part, by the availability – and affordability – of cremation urns that reflect an almost infinite number of tastes, lifestyles, and interests. In light of that, Memorials.com has been consistently committed, since over 10 years, to offering one of the largest selections of cremation urns available anywhere, and the addition of the Apple Urn is a continuation of this pledge to customers.

Memorials.com can add an engraved plaque to furthermore personalize this unique cremation vessel.

New Fiction Book Imagines a World With Human Dreamcatchers Who Take Away the World’s Nightmares, Fears and Anxieties

Emma Berg has always had nightmares since she was very young and still continues to have them. When she was little, she thought it would be wonderful if there was someone who could fight the bad dreams and let her sleep a full night. What was once a musing almost a decade ago is now Berg's debut young adult novel.

"Dreamcatch" chronicles the story of Joseph Archer, who lives a normal life as a live-in servant until he touches the hood of a Catcher named Madeleine. In Berg's world, Catchers are a group of people with the unique ability to catch the nightmares of the public.

When Joseph touches Madeleine's hood, he inherits the powers that Catchers possess, but it comes with a caveat, he soon learns.

Madeleine and Joseph travel together to learn the Catcher's trade and along the way he learns why Madeleine is desperately trying to find a cure for being a Catcher.

"Both characters deal with common coming-of-age dilemmas such as finding one's purpose or choosing to pursue other purposes when one doesn't work out," Berg said. "Readers can find themselves in Madeleine or Joseph because it may inspire them to examine what they believe is their purpose for their own lives and the possibility of where life can lead them."

In "Dreamcatch," readers can follow along with Madeleine and Joseph as they conquer the thrilling but complex world of being a Catcher, nightmares and all.
