Wireless App Created for Citizens to Help Stop Human Trafficking

Crime Stoppers Global Solutions and SafeGuard Systems, Inc. are relying on global citizenship for the support needed to help give a voice to child trafficking victims who don’t have one.

In February 2021, the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported that the share of children among trafficking victims had tripled internationally and that COVID-19 was largely to blame. According to their report, traffickers have “integrated technology into their modus operandi at every stage of the process: from recruiting to exploiting victims.” UNODC Executive Director, Ghada Waly stated that “millions of women, children and men worldwide are out of work, out of school and without social support in the continuing COVID-19 crisis, leaving them at greater risk of human trafficking.” According to the UN, the share of children detected has increased from 10 per cent to over 30 per cent. And according to recent data collected by the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce Program (ICAC), the share of child victims has increased by over 40 per cent since the pandemic began.

UNODC Director Waly said, “we need targeted action to stop criminal traffickers from taking advantage of the pandemic to exploit the vulnerable.”

There are people and organizations doing just that. Sgt. Jim Fuda (King County Sheriff’s Office, retired) is a co-founder of Crime Stoppers Global Solutions (CSGS), a 501c3 organization based in Washington D.C. The organization is focused on applying wireless technology on a global basis to combat transnational crimes and especially human trafficking. The premise is simple: provide the public with a safe, anonymous, and simple App for wireless devices that can be used in any language to provide trusted local law enforcement partners with secure and anonymous tips that will lead to the apprehension of human trafficking kingpins and other transnational criminals. Phone and internet-based tip lines have existed globally for some time. However, they simply do not provide the psychological and practical anonymity safety net to overcome the public’s fear of reprisal. This is especially true in countries and regions where reprisal can even mean death as a means for criminals and corrupt officials to protect their criminal enterprise.

To develop a safe and secure technology that can be adapted to any language and culture, CSGS is partnered with SafeGuard Systems, Inc., a technology development company based in Menlo Park, CA. The primary focus of SafeGuard Systems is on accelerating data for emergency response. Among other achievements, the company has demonstrated their unique skill set in enhancing school safety in particular.

Safeguard Systems stepped up to partner with CSGS and has developed a first of its kind end-to-end encrypted Transnational Crime App (TCI). With this super-secure App, citizens can report crimes anonymously without the fear of retribution. The App can be adapted to any language, cultural nuance, privacy, and local public safety requirements. Their anonymous tips go directly to trusted law enforcement in real-time through the App.

“We were honoured to be able to step up and volunteer our resources to develop this App for Crime Stoppers Global Solutions,” said Mike Jacobs, Founder and CEO of SafeGuard Systems, Inc. “As someone who has been involved with school safety and protecting children for decades, it was a simple decision for us because we know the technology will work and that we may be able to help save lives,” he continued. “If traffickers are using tech platforms to recruit and exploit children, then we will help develop platforms to save them,” said Jacobs.

CSGS has been working in Serbia and across the region known as the “Balkan Route” for its initial international launch of the TCI App.

BACKGROUND: ROLLING TCI OUT IN THE BALKAN REGION

CSGS is currently working on a Transnational Initiative with the TCI App focused on the “Balkan Route.” This involves a four-country cooperative alliance to combat human trafficking and other major crimes that help fund international terrorism. The project includes trusted police partners from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, the media in the region, and local non-profits and other community partners involved in anti-trafficking services.

The “Balkan Route” is considered the most notorious transnational crime highway in the world. The program will offer up to a $1000-dollar (US) reward if a tip leads to an arrest and charge, which is a yearly wage for many in the region. “Societies and cultures everywhere need to believe in the human spirit, that it must shine even in the darkest places, and that we all can contribute to our own safety and security as well as our neighbours, sisters and brothers,” offered Sgt Fuda. “These crimes are happening next door or around the corner and in the darkest shadows of this world. Rescue and prevention matter, not just for the millions, but for the one who we all must commit to protecting,” he concluded.

As part of a meticulous building process, CSGS began a test launch of its anonymous tip application along the “Balkan Route” in late 2018. The most important components were developing trust and partnership with the media, local NGOs and the government, and establishing a relationship with trusted law enforcement investigators and leaders. This education is the face of the initiative and the critical link to introducing the TCI App to the public. With a strong media and government support focus, the Balkan pilot project demonstrated that the program can be effective in gaining media, law enforcement, and citizen support and involvement in high-risk regions.

WHY IT WORKS:

  • Historically, as crimes are solved, the public becomes increasingly engaged in reporting crime tips. Financial reward is a positive reinforcement that becomes grass roots and now a viral phenomenon because of the use of wireless communications and social media.
  • With the introduction of a mobile app, crime tips have tripled in the US where it has been introduced– and arrests have also increased significantly.
  • Even the poorest countries have wireless communications and cell phones—it is the primary global connector.
  • The human appeal and motivation to participate is anchored in the key promise: anonymity. It has been proven effective for over 40 years.

The Balkan project and other development were interrupted in 2020 by COVID-19. To reignite the project, Crime Stoppers Global Solutions and SafeGuard Systems recently started a StartSomeGood crowdfunding campaign together in order to support the work in the Balkan Region.

Together they have already met over $2,000-dollars of their $5,000-dollar initial goal, but are hoping to reach their $20,000-dollar stretch goal before the end of their campaign. The organizations are relying on global citizenship for the support they need to help give a voice to child trafficking victims who don’t have one.

“For over 40 years, we have proven in the United States that the citizens are willing to help bring the worst criminals to justice by providing anonymous tips. It is time to engage and empower the world in this effort and give each and all of us the power to stop human trafficking and transnational crime that funds terror and human suffering. SafeGuard Systems created the tool for us to do that. It’s time to act, and it is just that simple, ” concluded Sgt Fuda.

After years of research, startup introduces most powerful home air purification system ever built

Castus is launching crowdfunding campaign to manufacture and distribute a revolutionary air purifier, sanitizer and humidifier.

 As the world slowly emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts and citizens alike are shifting their eyes toward building a healthier, cleaner world.

In the effort to create cleaner homes, Castus is leading toward changing the way home air is purified in the post-pandemic era by introducing the most powerful air purifier, sanitiser, and humidifier ever built for residential use.

The startup has been developing its seven cutting-edge air purification technologies since 2012, with a vision to provide clean and healthy indoor air while increasing awareness of air pollution.

“Our team of scientists and engineers cares deeply about offering the ultimate air purifier,” said a company spokesperson. “The events of the last year have motivated us to think outside the box and to create something impactful.”

The Castus team, which includes chemical, mechanical, electrical, and computer science engineers in collaboration with microbiologists, formed to devise a way to purify the air on a whole new level. Their powerful new system combines seven purification technologies — ultraviolet light sterilizers (UVC), nano copper, nanosilver, anion release, medical-grade HEPA filtration, nanocrystal activated carbon and patented nano photocatalyst technologies — into a single system to efficiently monitor, detect, capture, neutralize, and eliminate airborne pollutants, bacteria, and viruses.

Designed with the home in mind, the Castus air purification’s sleek, minimalist design includes a simple yet effective LED indicator that describes the level of air purity in a home using a system of four colours representing the highest to the lowest concentration of pollutants.

Castus is recommended for use with spaces up to 54 square meters or 581 square feet. It comes in Standard, Ultra, and Ultimate models featuring super quiet operation using an eight-speed, brushless motor.

Now, Castus is launching a campaign on the Indiegogo platform to crowdfund the Castus air purifier. The goal is to invite investors to help Castus enter the mass production phase.

“We started this journey eight years ago and with five prototypes built and developed we are now ready to present Castus to the world,” the spokesperson said. “In one phrase, Castus is the ultimate air purifier, sanitiser, and humidifier. We are ready to get Castus out to you.”

For a limited time, anyone can sign up to learn more about the Castus crowdfunding campaign and access an early bird discount of 40 per cent off at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/–195024/coming soon.

Next-Generation Cartesian Geometry EDXRF Spectrometer Set to Transform XRF Technology

NEX CG II from Advanced Rigaku Technologies is a powerful second-generation benchtop energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. It is a multi-element, multi-purpose analyzer that delivers rapid qualitative and quantitative elemental analyses and is applicable to many industries.

Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc., a division of Rigaku Corporation, introduces NEX CG II, a powerful second-generation benchtop energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. NEX CG II is a multi-element, multi-purpose analyzer that delivers rapid qualitative and quantitative elemental analyses and addresses needs across many industries. It provides a non-destructive analysis of sodium to uranium in almost any matrix.

The Rigaku NEX CG II pushes the boundaries of EDXRF with its unique close-coupled Cartesian Geometry (CG) optical kernel and various new hardware upgrades. With the addition of a high-power X-ray tube, a high-performance large-area silicon drift detector and Rigaku’s advanced Fundamental Parameters software, the NEX CG II brings a new level of analytical sensitivity and ease of use to XRF technology.

NEX CG II serves a broad range of applications and industries and is an ideal tool for measuring ultra-low and trace element concentrations all the way up to per cent levels.

It is easy to use for non-technical operators yet powerful enough for expert use in commercial labs and R&D facilities. Users can achieve the lowest limits of detection for elements in highly scattering matrices like water, hydrocarbons and biological materials. NEX CG II also features 3D optics, which dramatically increases the peak-to-background ratio. This results in a spectrometer capable of trace element analysis — even in challenging sample types.

NEX CG II excels in complex applications with trace elements and variable-based matrices, such as testing agricultural soils and plant materials, analyzing finished animal feeds, measuring waste oils, environmental monitoring, and many others.

Some of the key advantages and features that make NEX CG II an attractive proposition include:

  • Non-destructive elemental analysis for sodium (Na) to uranium (U)
  • Rapid elemental analyses of solids, liquids, powders, coatings, and thin films
  • Indirect excitation for exceptionally low detection limit
  • High-power 50 kV, 50 W X-ray tube
  • Large-area high-throughput silicon drift detector (SDD)
  • Analysis in air, helium, or vacuum
  • Powerful and easy to use QuantEZ® software with multilingual user interface
  • Advanced RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters software featuring Scattering FP
  • Rigaku Profile Fitting (RPF) advanced algorithm for peak deconvolution
  • Various automatic sample changers accommodating up to 52 mm samples
  • Low cost of ownership backed by a 2-year warranty

The Rigaku NEX CG II builds on NEX CG’s legacy of using full 90° Cartesian Geometry and secondary targets for trace level sensitivity. The new superior analytical power of the NEX CG II is provided by a 50 kV 50 W end-window palladium-anode X-ray tube, monochromatic or polarized excitation from five secondary targets, and a high-performance large-area silicon drift detector. This unique optical kernel, combined with Rigaku’s advanced RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters software, delivers the most sensitive EDXRF measurements in the industry

NEX CG II complements Rigaku’s existing range of benchtop and in-line process control EDXRF spectrometers. For more information about NEX CG II, visit https://rigakuedxrf.com/nex-cg.php

Top SEO Company Moves to Austin Texas

Another Top SEO Company Moves to Austin Texas bringing with it website development teams, search engine optimization teams, and jobs for Texas from California.

Top SEO Company Moves to Austin Texas
Another Top SEO Company Moves to Austin Texas bringing with it website development teams, search engine optimization teams, and jobs for Texas from California. In 2019 559,000 people moved to Texas, according to U.S. Census data, and over 80,000 of them were from California. Yet another of California tech companies is leaving Silicon Valley for the Austin Texas Sillion Hills. This time it’s a top digital marketing agency team that implements technology for business development purposes including website developers, search engine optimization experts, automation specialists, content development professionals, syndicated press releases managers, citation bursts consultants, and software application developers. This not only will provide more access to Texas companies seeking business development through technology but this company is also looking to hire 91 new employees over the next 3 years.

We sat down with Erik Avery the CEO and Founder of DIQ SEO to discuss the reason for the move and a little about his company offers. When asked why DIQ SEO was making the move from California to Texas Erik responded with ” In short it’s the people of Texas that we admire and that are showing us a better way to move forward. I can see my family surrounded by the people who live there and that gives me more hope for the future. We look forward to preserving Texas and have no interest in changing it, in fact, you might say we wish we could roll the clock backwards and see the texas neighbourly culture as it was even a few years ago before everyone moved there in mass.” How do you your new Austin Digital Marketing Company?

Maps.me Announces New Cashback Partnership with Booking.com

Leading Offline Mapping Platform Launches Exciting New Reward Program

Maps.me has announced a new partnership with Booking.com that will enable users to earn cashback rewards in their Maps.me digital wallet. Users of the world’s most popular offline mapping tool will be able to earn up to 10% cashback when booking travel through a special integration of the leading digital travel platform Booking.com in the Maps.me app.

With the launch of MAPS Rewards, users will be able to earn cashback in US dollars to their Maps.me digital wallet when they book accommodation with Booking.com in the Maps.me app. Initially, users who hold 30 MAPS Rewards will receive 3% cashback on their stayed reservations with Booking.com. But, as their holdings of MAPS Rewards increase to 100 or 300, they will unlock cashback rates of up to 7% and then up to 10%, respectively.

“This partnership with Booking.com offers great value to Maps.me users, “said Alex Grebnev, Co-Founder of Maps.Me. “Maps.me already helps millions of users to find their way. Next, it will be delivering tangible benefits such as loyalty rewards earned by participating in the platform and money in their pocket through cashback on purchases. Through the Maps.me wallet they can also earn passive income on stored value – up to 8% by lending out balances that are collateralized by highly liquid assets.

We look forward to creating new opportunities to deliver unique products and services and making them available to Maps.me users soon.”

“Partnering with Maps.me on their new cashback rewards program is a natural fit for us at Booking.com,” said Mark van der Linden, Senior Director of Partnerships at Booking.com. “As travel begins to open up and people start looking to explore the world again, seamlessly connecting them with the amazing range of incredible places to stay on our platform as they literally look to navigate their way through new destinations is a great opportunity. Whether they’re looking for a funky city apartment, a secluded vacation home in the countryside or a resort on the beach, we’ve got the stay that’s right for them.”

The MAPS Rewards feature will be launched initially in selected markets in Europe and expanded in the future. In addition to the cashback partnership with Booking.com, users who hold MAPS Rewards will eventually be able to receive other discounts, with future rewards through other partners being able to be exchanged for cash, or to buy additional products and services. In all, the goal is for users to be able to effectively save money and service financial needs, and control when and how they want to use rewards they earn by using the platform.

“Our partnership with Booking.com is part of the next phase of our plans to ultimately embed a host of financial and other services that can be delivered when and how our customers need them. We are leveraging technology to connect consumers to real world DeFi applications that can enhance their financial lives. This is the first step in developing a core architecture for the masses,” said Viktor Mangazeev, co-Founder of Maps.me.

The stored value in Maps.me wallets will be kept in AAA-rated assets and held in a Swiss trust structure that is administered by TMF Services, a regulated trust services provider in Switzerland. TMF is the largest corporate service provider in the world, trusted by over 60% of Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies. Users enjoy this security as well as the convenience of accessing these services via a platform they know and love – all for zero or low fees.[1]

In March, Maps.me announced that it is adding next-generation financial capabilities to its platform, which was used by more than 60 million people worldwide last year. Through the services that will be available via its digital wallet, Maps.me aims to enrich people’s lives by providing them with a simple, immediate, and inexpensive way to pay, transfer across currencies, and earn passive income.

Maps.me 2.0 will enable users to:

  • Earn yields of as much as 8% on stored value;
  • Make payments via a linked credit card; and
  • Transfer money instantly to friends and family globally and in 35 different currencies

Maps.me will soon be adding new features including eSIM connectivity, which will allow users to stay better connected. With this feature, users will have greater convenience and managed connectivity when using Internet service in more than 90 countries since they will be able to seamlessly switch mobile networks and no longer need to purchase prepaid SIM cards when they travel.
