How do you get your news? Is news just old information which is only for the inquisitive? Can you change it, affect its outcome or even do something to have stopped it. Just old really old news which is only for storage and to just accept.
Just look at these photographs I took in July 2017. It made me stop, go back and go inside Panera Bread and ask if they minded me taking a photograph of this whole unexpected event!
The results!
Old fashion printed matter and the way they like it each day, as they spend their retirement from the insurance industry. You see, I had a chat as well!

Aisles of Smiles Dating Game
It has been going on for decades, meeting in the grocery aisles! Walking the aisles with smiles, surveying the singles with the same intent as you!
Now, Supermarkets can bring you together with special evenings. Especially when they have an attached restaurant with a bar!
ProxComm Technology has developed the ability to be in the grocery store and knowing others, with the same intention, are cruising the aisles of smiles as well. Aisles of Smiles Dating...
The Wall Street reported:
'When Bob Schneider goes out on a Friday night, he no longer heads to the local singles bar. Instead, he goes to the grocery store.
“I once dated a woman from the potato section at Mariano’s,” says Mr. Schneider, a 67-year-old semiretired, twice-divorced lobbyist in Oak Brook, Ill. “The next thing you know we’re at the wine bar and then we’re dating.”
Supermarkets—those havens of the not-so-scintillating chore of scouring numbered aisles, pushing carts and perusing produce—are finding a new identity as a social hub in communities. Parents now bring their children here to play, retirees gather for Bingo, and singles find romance.
Grocery stores are fulfilling the new role as traditional gathering spots, from shopping malls to social clubs like Lions Clubs and Rotary International, continue to shrink from decades-earlier peaks. Malls, in particular, are in danger of extinction. Credit Suisse has projected that up to 25% of malls will close over the next five years, as the internet continues to reshape the way Americans shop.
As more shoppers consider alternatives including online shopping apps and meal kits, grocers are finding ways to avoid a similar fate. Many are reinventing themselves as destination spots.'
So, ProxComm Technology brings the Mobile App for Shopping Cart Dating!
If you are the Supermarket who wants to be better than Amazon and their Whole Foods operation, contact us and serve your customers an additional reason to shop with you!
Gary, Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, you can reach Smartphones with a Notification within a proximity of your location. Google 'Nearby' allows Android phones to receive the notification if it is relevant information and not just Ad Clutter. Meaning that others have opened the Notification and not push it away and dismissed it in volume. Google filters garbage information. Certain companies who market proximity beacons are being restricted to these issues.
ProxComm Technology has never been filtered and has an excellent relationship with Google.
67% of all Smartphones in the USA are Android, with App having 30% of the mobile phone market. Globally, Android has 80%+. Apple in its wisdom requires a Mobile App to receive Notifications. For large companies, a Mobile App is how they cover all Smartphones. As an individual not so much. You could have one, but the cost would outweigh your goal. Our website states that all Smartphones can see Notifications and we highlight that we have Mobile Apps, depending on your business and application. It is a pure overview of what is available. This is not a simple subject that our website is used for. We like to know what a company is wanting and how they understand how the Proximity Beacons are used. These articles are on our website within PDFs & Videos:
We are more than upfront on what Smartphones can or cannot see regarding proximity beacons. We understand the content of a proximity beacon must be relevant and not Ad Clutter. All clients and potential clients understand the full capability of proximity beacons and the success. Having been the driving force and innovators globally for the last seven years in Asia, Europe, and the USA, we know the true capabilities of the marketing medium and work for hand in hand with our clients of all sizes. From Supermarkets, healthcare, banks, auto-industry, public event centers and all retail, the usage is endless.
Our vital difference is also the type of content and our ability to transmit up to ten (10) notifications from one beacon.
This also applies to our Enhanced QR Codes. Here is a QR Code which emulates a Proximity Beacon, please scan. The simple fact is, through Proximity Beacons you will reach up to 67% more opportunities than ever before without a Mobile App. Our recommendation, depending on the size of company and potential is to have an App. I hope I have answered all your listed questions.
Please call me direct if you have more. (515) 200-7068
An App is Like a Lighthouse Without a LightBulb Useless!
Apple is restrictive in its marketing regarding beacon technology. Do not let anyone tell you different!
Apple's ibeacon is a major player in the retail trade and other communications facets if it, like Android's Nearby, was available as an open opportunity.
So many beacons rely on Google Nearby as the only means of transmission, which is hit and miss with the relevance of the notification and who it is from. ProxComm Technology Proximity Marketing Beacons and Enhanced QR Codes are seen by all even via our App solution or scanned with any QR Scanner.
Having developed serious Proximity Social Marketing Apps for our clients we have now basically created a 'cookie cutter' opportunity for all to have a cost-effective App for both Android and Apple iOS operating systems.
It is not just notifications, it is our ability track shoppers, send them direct information and give our clients full analytics in 'knowing' their customers and clients.
Asset tracking for billing, where staff are and importantly equipment locations, especially in the healthcare field or transportation is vital.
This is the commercial revolution for marketing and information dissemination to all those that are within a 300-foot radius and their Smartphone. We broadcast a notification and an URL link to all. Android Smartphones automatically can receive our notification whether they have an App or not.
Apple Smartphones need an App!
65%+ of all Smartphones in the USA are Android based with Apple having just 30.1% of the mobile-phone market. Globally Android has over 80% of the Smartphone market, so you see why we have created an affordable App.
If you want to be in the new wave of the communications cost-effective marketing, we need to converse!

The negativity of our unsocial world is causing mayhem in every level of society. Never has there been so much 'hate' in everyday life. From 'cradle to grave', no one is not in the spotlight to feel some form of bullying or hatred.
Life is never simple and if we're all really honest with each other, it sucks some days. Creativity is but a mask to move away from the daily rigamarole of living. Overcoming the realities that no one is perfect and never will be.
It is all to do with effort and follow through, perseverance and true belief in oneself. No matter how hard you work and think you have the ultimate answer, you're wrong! It might have been flowing in your head and fingers, you feel awesome about it all, that's fine. It is the next step, the marketing of the idea that you are so passionate about. Yes, passion is the key and your delivery from the heart and the depths of your soul is vital to garnering the attention of the potential buyer of your mythical ideas.
The thinking outside of your inner box better have the storyline straight and true, even taking deep breaths as you deliver the core ingredients for the success of the project.
Only you can control what is thrown at yet. It is how you handle it which is the key to the next moves in your life. The positives always outweigh the negatives, which you only see and realize when whatever turmoil settles.
Even the most experience do not believe in themselves, thoughts and disappointment is just a cycle of life.
Guess what, just keep moving, moving forward and never stop dreaming, creating, sharing...

Snitch is to Inform... I thought I knew what the word and expression, “snitch”, meant. I was right and oh so wrong!
It is a problem both socially within families, neighborhoods and in the workplace. With so many with mental issues, families and friends must speak up on the problems, it will save lives!
Snitching -- and its sibling, witness intimidation -- is much in the top of the news these days, the result of a series of high-profile killings and shootings. But there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about it, not just among people in the community or the workplace, but also among law enforcement and government officials and the media.
Nobody wants to be a snitch -- not even in an environment that's supposed to define what exactly snitching is.
Business is a breeding ground of gossip and snitching. Mostly to get a leg up on the ladder of success. Tattle-tales, nosey narks, and other such labels that are applied to such people, really do not describe the issue. For a business to be a success, all information must be on the table and in full view. Hiding information or situation does nobody and good whatsoever. There is nothing wrong with laying the facts out in front of everyone and moving forward. Knowledge is power and known knowledge is even more powerful.
Snitching sees no color, except it seems in African/American communities. Everyone has snitched, told the truth, shared concerns and information at some time or another.
In speaking with community and business leaders, we must deal with realism: You are never going to get black people to agree to snitch, I was told emphatically. The reasons are rooted in history and culture, and the realities of so many inner cities, where human life is cheap.
On the dark (criminal) side, those on the other side of the law will say, that if you work at it, you can persuade witnesses to violent crime to come forward and tell all.
For those that live in high-crime areas, there's nothing new about witness intimidation, it is part of everyday life. Criminals threatening or even killing citizens who could testify against them. Several recent incidents have brought wider attention to this issue.
A gentleman I met to discuss the problem, told me, that explaining to young people about snitching, if they see someone killed, it's their obligation to help make sure that the killer is punished. “The government works for us, and together we can hold it to higher standards.”
He continued, “Words and connotations are powerful". And to many of us, the word "snitch" brings to mind a distant memory of a house slave telling the master when another slave tried to escape. We're a long way from the days of slavery, but the adversity that those of us trapped in communities with little money, education and police protection share has forced us to create our own codes and coping strategies.”
“So often, even law-abiding residents try to close ranks and deal with our problems on our own instead of working with law enforcement, which many of us consider the enemy. It's a code…”
As we spoke more, he went further, “This is the true definition of a snitch: someone who commits a crime but then blames an accomplice so that he can negotiate a lighter sentence or even go free. Often he tells lies and incriminates the innocent. People like that are the real snitches and they are cowardly. Snitching is a way for criminals to play the system.
But not everyone who talks to police is a snitch. If you're a victim of a crime and you or someone you trust cooperates with them, you are not a snitch. If you try to get rid of negativity in your community, you are not "hot" or a snitch.
I blame the hip-hop industry for spreading confusion about the definition of snitching. I also understand that the artists are just trying to sell records by glorifying a criminal and prison culture they often know nothing about.
Understanding snitching is not just a theoretical exercise. It is critical to the survival of our communities.
Just as we have a right to be safe from drive-by shootings, murder, intimidation, and disrespect, we have an obligation to uphold the laws that ensure public safety. When a citizen witnesses a crime and decides to be civically responsible, this doesn't constitute snitching; it's doing the right thing.
Police also need to be more sensitive to the culture of the streets. Showing up in uniform and knocking on someone's door could get an innocent person killed. If police are clumsy in their investigations and let the word out about who is cooperating, that can also lead to more bloodshed.
Among the responses: "Kill them." "Cooperate." "Retaliate." "Go tell the police." And something that I have seen all too often: "Already happened. I would go look for them and talk to them face to face and ask them why."
People in the community want peace, and they want justice. They just don't want to be anybody's snitch.”
It is not telling tales, it is about building safety barriers and stopping the violence in the streets, homes, and workplace. Bullies, killers, and overall rotten people feed on their actions and further their intimidation by the silence. This signals their success and feeds their want, to do more. No matter who it harms or kills.
