We are told to "Love Thy Neighbor"

And we should, even if there is something about them that we need to know in order for our family and kids to be safe.  

We live in a world full of good, hard-working, perfectly nice people. Regular men and women who do whatever they can to raise and support their families. On the flip side, there are also plenty of very sick individuals who have the capacity to do great harm to innocents. The problem with these deviants is that for the most part, they tend to hide in plain sight.  You need to be able to identify these people, for your safety, and that of your family.

With a background report, you can investigate anyone.  Do you have a suspicious couple across the street? A background report can help to ease your mind.  Don.t like the look of your next door neighbors?  Find out their personal history. You never know if you live next to a potential child molester, and you should take steps to protect your children.  The greatest power you can have today is knowledge.  Be sure to perform a background check on any suspicious neighbors in your area.

Code Amber has been providing information regarding personal safety for all since 2002.

Do you need to have more confidence about the decisions you make regarding your medical care?

To get the health care you deserve take charge of your health care records and carry your medical history with you at all times. You will be an empowered patient with greatly improved the doctor patient communication and decrease the chances for medical errors.

If you have a chronic illness, take prescriptive drugs or suffer severe allergic reactions you need to inform the emergency or medical professionals treating you - tell a story that helps them help you.

Professionals generally suggest that you collect at least three generations of medical history. Relatives whose medical history has the most impact on you include your first- (children, siblings and parents) and second-degree relatives (grandchildren, nieces/nephews, aunts/uncles and grandparents).

The best place to keep that information is a Code Amber Alertag.

Summer myths that put kids at risk

So says NANCY CHURNIN / Staff writer of The Dallas Morning News

Emergency-room professionals have their own name for the long, lovely, lazy days that kids look forward to in summer: trauma season. Because that’s when hospitals see a spike in drownings and heat-related accidents.

MYTH: Pool parties are safe as long as adults are around.
FACT: In a minute, a child can go under water. In two or three minutes, the child can lose consciousness. In four or five, the child could suffer irreversible brain damage or die. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death for children 1 to 14 years old, second only to car and transportation-related accidents.

MYTH: It’s safe to keep kids in car seats when the driver gets out for a quick errand. FACT: The temperature inside a car can rise quickly in the summer, leading to brain damage, kidney failure and death in minutes. When outside temperatures are between 80 F to 100 F, the temperature inside a car can quickly rise to more than 170 F. With an outdoor temperature of 83 F, internal car temperatures can reach 109 F within 15 minutes, even with windows rolled down two inches. Children are less able to handle extreme heat than adults.

Sources: Dr. Philip Ewing, physician in the emergency department at Children’s Medical Center; Dr. Mark Till, chairman of emergency medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas; Terri Ford, community health outreach manager at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth; and Dr. John F. Marcucci, emergency department medical director at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano.

There are some simple steps that you can take to prepare yourself and your family should an unintentional accident occur while having some summer fun.

Don’t let your child become a statistic.

Of the 800,000 children reported missing each year, only 115 abductions are actual kidnappings where a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom or intended to be kept permanently or worse still…killed.

It only takes a minute to sign up for the Code Amber Ticker which will make you a member of a community of thousands of concerned citizens just like yourself. When everyone is watching everyone else, perpetrators have no where to hide.

HALF A MILLION DOWNLOADS and GROWING

GPS TRACKING APPS LEADER LOCiMOBILE® LAUNCHES NEW APP and COMMUNITY PORTAL FOR EXPANDING MARKET

New Apps and Website Offer Real-Time GPS Tracking for Android® and BlackBerry® Users

Share “Where” Anywhere with Live GPS Tracking

www.locimobile.com


Los Angeles, CA, July 7, 2010-- On the heels of passing 500,000 downloads, GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO.OB) unit LOCiMOBILE, Inc. is poised to launch a new series of GPS Tracking “apps” and web-based location services that solidify the company’s leadership position in the location-based social networking market. Starting July 15th, users can download the full-featured BlackBerry® version of LOCiMOBILE’s new “Tracking” app, and subscribe to a web-based service that enables Android® and GPS-enabled BlackBerry users to be tracked from any laptop or desktop computer. The new GPS tracking apps and community portal website offer cross-platform, real-time live tracking of friends and family, kids and co-workers.


For the past two weeks, Android users have been able to download a free, limited version of the “Tracking” app from the Android marketplace. Unlike its fellow apps GPS Tracking and iLOCi2, which do not work in the background and require permission with each and every locate request, “Tracking” is live, continuous, real-time tracking, running in the background after the tracked user grants permission one time.


With the growing popularity of the new Android-OS phones, close to 115 models and global handset makers like Samsung Electronics entering the app space with their recent launch of bada, the LOCiMOBILE platform is well-positioned to increase its market share by providing cross-platform apps along with a web based portal to this burgeoning user community. Share “where” anywhere with one push or click: LOCiMOBILE GPS Tracking Apps.

Tracking runs in the background on both smartphones and can report its location at user-selected intervals (every minute, five minutes, sixty minutes, and so on). Tracking is perfect to obtain the whereabouts of anyone a user cares for or trusts and wants to know where they are at all times. Tracking is opt-in and only possible if added users provide their consent, and user privacy is assured. The Tracking service costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 for a full year.



“Tracking represents a significant shift from LOCiMOBILE’s existing phone-to-phone technologies and offers both new opportunities for users and expanded subscription and advertising revenues for the Company,” explains GTX Corp. CEO Patrick Bertagna. “With downloads having crossed the half a million mark, and all the new app-ready GPS smartphones entering the market, the timing was right to launch our cross-mobile platform to this growing market.”


“Our two-way GPS Tracking technology as seen on CBS News is already being used in shoes to monitor the elderly afflicted with dementia and in iPhone and iPad apps.” Bertagna concludes. “Real-time, continuous tracking operating in the background is a logical progression to help the Company maintain its competitive edge.”


ABI Research predicts that more than 550 million GPS-enabled handsets will be shipped by 2012. LOCiMOBILE®, with eight apps, downloaded in over 84 countries, continues to gain traction and momentum in what is estimated to be a $29 billion dollar market by end of 2013.

LOCiMOBILE® LAUNCHES GPS TRACKING FOR iPAD®

Popular People – Finder App Passes 400,000 Downloads, 82 Countries and

Hits #2 on iTunes® Top Grossing App List

www.gpstrackingapps.com

Los Angeles, CA May 26, 2010 –As it roars past 400,000 downloads and hits #2 on iTunes’ social networking Top Grossing Apps list, GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO.OB) subsidiary LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking app has just launched on Apple’s iPad®, offering an iPad-specific full-featured version for about the cost of a grandé latté, $4.99.


GPS Tracking App—from the leader in two-way GPS tracking systems—is dedicated to parent company GTX Corp’s guiding principle, “With You.” GPS Tracking brings people together, locating family, friends and co-workers. GPS Tracking isn’t a toy. It isn’t a game. It offers privacy, lets users share and upload pictures to Facebook and Twitter and simply said, it’s the most direct, purest, location-based check-in app on the market. GPS Tracking is cross-platform compatible with LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking apps installed on other devices and smartphones such as Apple iPhone® and iPod Touch®.


What will users be able to do with GPS Tracking? One click and kids can find each other at the mall, amusement park, anywhere. Parents can keep track of their children at school, with friends, or on the go. Employers can use it to keep tabs on employees in the field, or at conventions. Friends can find each other at graduation, a concert or across the country at a new collage. These are the edible fruits of GPS Tracking’s promise, deemed a futuristic concept in science fiction movies only a few years ago. Now this game-changing concept has fueled an explosion in location-based check-in technology—but GTX Corp has been a leader in this space for eight years—putting GPS tracking technology in the hands of athletes, health care professionals—even in shoes—and now, perhaps everyone with a smartphone.


“We’re delighted to launch our GPS Tracking app on the iPad,” says GTX Corp CEO Patrick Bertagna. “It provides industry standard location-based check-in to iPad’s projected 10 million devices, expands our brand onto Apple’s estimated 100 million i–Phone, Pad, and Pod user base and of course adds another commercial product to our revenue stream.”


iPad is the latest innovation that has helped propel Apple to a market capitalization in excess of $200 billion, just behind Microsoft, who famously invested $150 million in Apple back in 1997.

Analyst/commentator Steve Kanaval, of World Market Media concludes, “This is a unique space with wind at its back and certainly the apps market is a niche to watch.”

US kidnapping statistics have not been routinely kept, and is not one of the crimes included in the FBI’s national Uniform Crime Reporting database.

• There is approximately one child abduction murder for every 10,000 missing child reports.

• It is possible that the crime was committed by a family member. Finkelhor & Ormrod state that family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, and has a 43% likelihood of being the female partner, much higher than in other kidnapping types.

• Family kidnapping happens equally to children of both sexes.

• 49% of juvenile kidnapping offences are family kidnappings, 27% acquaintance kidnappings and only 24% are stranger kidnappings.


• Acquaintance kidnapping involves a “comparatively high percentage of juvenile perpetrators, has the largest percentage of female and teenage victim, is more often associated with other crimes (especially sexual and physical assault), occurs at homes and residences and has the highest percentage of injured victims.”


• Stranger kidnapping “victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims, and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.”

It's smarter the have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it than to need it and not have one.
