&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;NEW ANTI-BULLYING APP EMPOWERS KIDS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;WITH MESSAGE and SKILLS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;TO BUILD TOLERANCE, FRIENDSHIP, CREATIVITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;CrocPond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; Entertainment makes RINDIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;™ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;the puffer fish come alive with story, movie and game app for iPhone, iPad and iPod&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;SAN FRANCISCO, CA &amp;#8212; (Nov. 29, 2011) &amp;#8212;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; Kids, parents and schools everywhere are challenged with bullying. Coming to the rescue with a positive message and practical skills is RINDIN, the animated, googly-eyed puffer fish who has a new app that is earning praise from top educators. RINDIN the Puffer comes directly from his well-loved children’s storybook and DVD series where he won 18 awards, including Dr. Toy (Best Children’s Products, Homeschool.com), and Sprockets Film Festival (Best Short).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;“More than ever, parents and children need skills that reinforce the importance of being yourself and respecting individual differences in others,” said Nicholas Zaldastani, CEO of CrocPond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ô&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. “RINDIN is already out sharing these skills, but the new RINDIN App enables families and children of all ages to see their peers in a positive new light. In the story, RINDIN is rejected and then accepted. As a parent, it is rewarding to see children really embrace the message, the character and technology. It works!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Optimized for all iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices), the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rindin/id473520406?ls=1&amp;amp;mt=8" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;RINDIN App&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rindin/id473520406?ls=1&amp;amp;mt=8" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rindin/id473520406?ls=1&amp;amp;mt=8" target="_blank"&gt;http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rindin/id473520406?ls=1&amp;amp;mt=8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;), the RINDIN App has an introductory price of $1.99 and includes a storybook, an animated movie, and a bonus adventure game, all of which tell the RINDIN story. And best of all, CrocPond will donate a percentage of all sales to organizations that stomp out bullying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;CrocPond has skillfully devised a wonderful recipe that mixes entertainment, inspiration, and hope, with positive life principles that will nurture every child, family, and teacher.&amp;#8221; stated Steven M. Constantino, Ed.D., Superintendent, &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Williamsburg-James City County, Virginia and &lt;/span&gt;Former Principal, Stonewall Jackson High School, Manassas, Virginia where he led the school to winning &lt;em&gt;Time&lt;/em&gt; Magazine&amp;#8217;s High School of the Year. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;“I encourage everyone to take a dip in the CrocPond!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Children can enjoy the storybook in three ways: read the story at their own pace, read along with narration by the author, or record and play back their own narration. The movie is a classically-drawn 8-minute short that has won numerous awards, while the bonus underwater adventure game challenges children to help RINDIN make 100 million new friends and put an end to bullying. Children and families can also join &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rindin-by-CrocPond/254343601284814" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;RINDIN on Facebook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="MsoHyperlink"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rindin-by-CrocPond/254343601284814" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rindin-by-CrocPond/254343601284814&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
