CINCINNATI – School bus drivers are the most highly-trained, tested and scrutinized drivers on the road. First Student joins the American School Bus Council (ASBC) in recognizing drivers and monitors across North America during Love the Bus Month for the care, attention and dedication they bring to their ever-important jobs.

More than 26 million students ride school buses each day. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, school buses are the safest way for students to get to and from school, approximately 70 times safer than passenger cars and 10 times safer than walking.

“School bus drivers and monitors are the faces of school transportation,” said First Student President Dennis R. Maple. “They recognize the opportunity they have to directly and positively impact each student’s day. We are proud of the work our drivers and monitors do and appreciate their commitment to excellence. They make it easy for the students, families and school districts we serve to love the bus every day.”

First Student drivers help deliver a ride that is twice as safe as the industry average. The company invests heavily in driver training and development.

Advances in technology and safety features have also made school buses safer than ever. First Student led the industry by installing GPS systems and crossing gates on all buses.

The ASBC created Love the Bus Month to raise awareness and appreciation for the experience of riding the school bus, as well as provide recognition for the drivers who play an essential role in the school day.

Waltham, MA (February 1, 2018) – Snowbound Software, the market leader in document viewing technology, today announced significant mobile enhancements to VirtualViewer®, the firm’s award-winning pure HTML5, web-based document viewer.

The latest version of VirtualViewer® HTML5 (v4.10) provides a friendlier, more intuitive interface experience for users accessing the viewer on mobile devices, as well as tablets and touchscreen laptops.

“These mobile enhancements allow users to more easily access and collaborate on their documents regardless of where they are and what device they are on,” said Snowbound’s said Sr. Sales Engineer, Ed Berberian.

The mobile enhancements include:

Touch-based interactions for users to scroll up or down a document or image with one finger, as well as pan on an image in all directions when it is zoomed in. Using two fingers, the user can pinch to zoom in or zoom out on the document. There are also touch-based gestures associated with the thumbnail panel where users can long-press on a thumbnail to call up a context menu.
A more elegant toolbar display for smaller frames and smaller browser windows, as well as on low-resolution monitors, ensures a clean and intuitive user experience regardless of device. On large screens, the toolbars look exactly the same as before, but as the screen shrinks down in smaller windows or on devices with less real estate such as mobile devices, the buttons automatically collapse into menus.
The toolbar buttons are highly configurable so organizations can customize exactly which buttons they want displayed, as well as the location and in what order.

“The ability for the viewer toolbar to adjust based on window and device size is especially helpful for users who are accessing the viewer when it is embedded into small frames or windows in existing content management systems, such as Alfresco or IBM,” said Berberian. “All of the viewer’s functionality remains, but it is presented in a way that is easy for the user to navigate.”

To see a quick video demo of the mobile enhancements, click here.

Snowbound’s VirtualViewer HTML5 document viewer is a pure HTML document viewing solution enabling file retrieval through a universal web application. It does not require any client-side installation or plug-ins such as Flash, Adobe, or Office. VirtualViewer HTML5 works with any modern browser, provides on-the-go mobile document viewing, and delivers flexible cross-platform support. We offer a variety of out-of-the box connectors for several popular ECM applications, as well as a built-in-interface that offers a suite of APIs that allow you to seamlessly integrate the viewer with any repository, including homegrown applications. OEM and subscription options available.

Pricing and Availability

We will hardly surprise anyone saying that the demand on handheld devices grows at the tremendous speed. There is hardly a person on earth who doesn’t have a smartphone. For most of us, mobile phones are more than just the means to make phone calls and send messages. These have become the indispensable parts of our life. We chat with friends, read news, do shopping, and a whole lot of other things from the screens of our smartphones. So, every brand should make certain that their web pages run on the screens of all sizes equally well. The modern-day web users are always in a hurry. A 3-second page loading wait is hardly something that you can afford. In order to win the users’ preference and boost your earning, it’s important to enhance your site’s performance with the help of the accelerated mobile pages.

What is AMP? – AMP (or accelerated mobile pages) is a special module that makes your site’s content load faster on the screens of mobile devices. By reaching a website that takes 3 seconds or longer to load on the handheld devices, people are more likely to leave it straight away rather than wait until all pieces of content appear on the page. In order for this not to happen, this about the proper optimization of your site for smartphones. If you own a Magento-based eCommerce site, then the AMP module is your go-for solution.

With the AMP installed on your site, you can make the content appear on the mobile screens in less than 2 seconds. AMP is an open-source technology. All AMP documents contain AMP JS JavaScript Library that delivers the optimal performance by adding a few roles in your markup.

AMP takes control of the entire load chain. It gives priority to specific elements over others, loading the main content on the web page first, with the third-party content being loaded afterward.

Source: Google Inside AdWords Key Magento AMP Benefits

In the TemplateMonster digital marketplace, Zemez presented the AMP module that is compatible with the latest version of Magento 2.2 framework. This is a usable technology, with the help of which you can:

accelerate page loading speeds; enhance Category and Product pages with the unique UI and UX; oad images, texts, and widgets straight away; let the users access the necessary pieces of content from the Google Results page.

Other reasons to use the technology on your site include:

compatibility with all smartphone and tablet devices; less than 2-second page loading speed; higher site ranking in the search engines results; using AMP on your site, you will see up to 10% traffic growth and 52% sales boost.

“Accelerated Mobile Pages can have a measurable impact in a number of ways. The true benefits of the technology are still yet to be realized, but when Google rolls out its mobile-first index (probably sometime in 2018), this could become exponentially more important. One DoubleClick study saw a 90 percent increase in engagement with their AMP content. So it certainly improves UX. Consider this: more than half of searches are already conducted on mobile devices. AMP documents typically load 2x as fast as normal web pages on mobile devices. Moral of the story being that people like things to load quickly. No one likes waiting, especially not in the 21st century. We don’t recommend that every website owner adopt AMP just yet. But we do anticipate that it will likely become a more general necessity in the months and years to come.” – David Braun, CEO at TemplateMonster.

HONOLULU, HI, Feb. 1, 2018 —RentVest, an innovative property management company headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, has announced the opening of a new office in Honolulu, Hawaii. This marks the seventh office opening in RentVest’s ambitious expansion plan to establish 10,000 accounts nationwide by 2020.

McKay Mills, owner of RentVest Hawaii, will manage the Honolulu office, and John Groberg will serve as the principal broker for RentVest Hawaii.

Mills says the RentVest Hawaii office will serve all of Oahu, to begin with, and eventually will be expanded to other islands, primarily Maui and the Big Island.

Since launching its first office in Mesa, Arizona in 2016, RentVest has expanded its presence to Phoenix, Tucson, Reno, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta, with plans to continue expanding into at least six new U.S. markets by 2020.

The company’s rapid expansion reflects escalating demand for affordable, innovative, and customer-centric property management services in active markets.

Funded and launched by Gentry Real Estate Group founders Spencer Caldwell, Jacob Ash and Benton Cotter, RentVest is a full-service property management firm specializing in high-performance property and tenant management services that meet a growing need for property management solutions that transcend outdated industry practices. RentVest leverages innovative technology and exceptional customer service practices to provide a worry-free experience for property owners.

RentVest Hawaii charges a flat rate management fee rather than the percentage- based fee structure that most companies on Oahu employ.

Established in 2007, Gentry Real Estate Group-a premier buyer of auction homes in Arizona-pioneered the development of auction-based home acquisitions for investors. Gentry has purchased thousands of homes at auction during the past 11 years and has sold billions in the real estate market.

By leveraging the Gentry team’s decade of experience in home auction sales and property management, RentVest’s fast-growing organization was able to develop a business strategy emphasizing personal, one-on-one consultation and assistance to clients regarding their real estate investments. By driving revenue from multiple client sources not utilized by competitors, RentVest has upended the conventional property management model with a synergistic approach that incorporates training, education, and leadership in an ever-changing enterprise environment.

The company’s focus on positive communications and team support is as critical to its success as the comprehensive management services it provides including:

Thorough and effective tenant screening and management practices.
Professional marketing services to ensure low vacancy rates.
Scrupulous, ongoing rental market analysis to properly price rental rates and maximize profits.
Established relationships with innumerable property maintenance vendors to provide quality work at competitive prices.
Legal guidance to help make sure property owners stay up-to-date on all current state and federal laws involving landlords, tenants, and rental housing.
A comprehensive network of proven vendors to handle all repairs and cleanup as soon as tenants vacate a unit in order to attract potential new tenants as quickly as possible.
Online tools that make it easier than ever to check invoices, statements, communication logs and more. In addition to 24/7 access, property owners receive a detailed monthly statement for tracking finances.

RentVest’s flat-rate monthly service fee allows property owners avoid cancellation and other “junk” fees. RentVest’s experienced staff has a proven track record of minimizing vacancy rates and maximizing rental income streams for property owners.

“RentVest has experienced massive growth in a very short time, and with good reason,” Caldwell says. “Our core values, superior technology-based platform, and customer-centric approach is working and will continue to fuel our growth in the national market.”

RentVest Hawaii is headquartered at Waterfront Plaza, 500 Ala Moana Blvd., Suite 400, Honolulu.

About RentVest:
Launched in June 2016 by Gentry Real Estate Group founders Spencer Caldwell and Jacob Ash, RentVest has already established itself as a market leader in the property management industry. With offices in eight U.S. markets, RentVest harnesses state-of-the-art technology and unprecedented customer service to manage high-quality rental properties for busy property owners.

In 2016 and 2017, RentVest was named to Inc. 5000, Inc. Media’s annual list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

(New York) February 1, 2018 – MoloLamken LLP, a premier national litigation boutique, announced today its commitment to support the American Bar Association’s Judicial Intern Opportunity Program for diverse students. The firm will sponsor a judicial intern in New York, in Washington, DC, and in Chicago – the cities in which the firm has offices. Firm lawyers will also interview student candidates for judicial internships and provide mentorship.

The Judicial Intern Opportunity Program (JIOP) is a major diversity initiative of the American Bar Association. It provides law students who are members of racial and ethnic minorities-and other groups traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession-the opportunity to serve as an intern with a judge in the summer following their first or second year of law school. The program, now in its eighteenth year, was founded in response to a study reporting that only 15% of judicial clerkships were held by minorities. JIOP also provides opportunities for students with disabilities, women, economically disadvantaged students, and those who identify as LGBT.

“The JIOP can make a real difference for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn what goes on in a judge’s chambers. This initiative is a natural fit for us. All of our associates have done a judicial clerkship – so we know, first-hand, the importance of that experience for young lawyers,” said firm co-founder Jeffrey Lamken.

MoloLamken’s attorneys are looking forward to mentoring the law students. “Our associates have expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for becoming involved in this effort. I’m excited to lead it on behalf of the firm,” said partner Jessica Ortiz, who will oversee the program.

Firm co-founder Steven Molo noted, “Our firm is always working to enhance its diversity. We know that it makes us stronger. That’s true for the profession as a whole.”

About the Judicial Intern Opportunity Program

The JIOP is a program of the ABA Section of Litigation.

Mary Jeffredo’s lifelong dream was the publication of her book, Castle Fehn: A Visit with Mother Earth. Dorrance Publishing Company of Pittsburgh teamed up with Wish of a Lifetime to grant the publication of the book. The book was recently released and is available for purchase at the publisher’s on-line bookstore, Amazon.com and by order via brick and mortar bookstores like Barnes and Noble.

About the Book
Imagine having a conversation with none other than mother Earth herself! That’s exactly what happens to Sarah Martin and Todd Cunningham, ten-year-old cousins who share a summer they will never forget! Todd and Sarah build a castle and soon a three-foot tall, clay and adobe, medieval citadel stands beneath the branches of Methuselah, the ancient oak tree in the Martin’s backyard.

On a mission of great importance, a band of elves moves into the castle and, after teaching the children to dream walk, takes them on a breathtaking adventure into the distant reaches of our universe. Here they meet the beautiful Elohima and experience the energy of The Matrix, the source of all life. But their joy and laughter turn to shock and dismay when they return to Earth for they discover the planet darkened by plague and destruction – the effects of the Homonite, the deadly creature that now resides inside Earth.

Saddened by what they see, and now aware of a possible future of Earth, Todd and Sarah vow to realign their lives in order to not only live in harmony with Earth but to take on the assignment of teaching others the importance of healing our planet.

About the Author
Mary Jeffredo was born in Los Angeles, California. By the time she was six years old her family left the city and moved to the country. Living in the wide-open spaces of Simi Valley brought a whole new dimension to her life, cultivating a new and growing love for our beautiful planet.

Jeffredo married and became a mother to four children, all of whom she successfully represented in Hollywood where she worked as a set mother and talent agent. Her passion for reading, her imagination, and her education and training as a minister in later life inspired her magical and moral stories for children. Her love of Earth and her faith in humankind shines through.

Jeffredo now writes from her home at the foot of Colorado’s beautiful Pike’s Peak Mountain where she lives with her two adorable and very sassy cats.
