Since the Sandy Hook school tragedy and the senseless continues slaughtering disastrous events, what have we been thinking about and discussing? The talk has been about absolutely everything under the sun except pro-activity and a positive, realistic mindset!
Men and women have been killing since time began and yes, it gets worse as our population expands and cultures migrate. The method used and who they kill or maim has progressed from using a rock to the latest death inflicting device. It is not what or how they kill or maim, it is the desire to complete an inner task they have set their mind on. We know the signs abound of mental and physical confusion witnessed by those that surround them and do nothing!
Why do we ignore these signs of concern?
In this TMI Age (Too Much Information), the useless fluff is diverted, sent to the back burner of the abyss. It is masking the important stuff, the protection required to run our lives. They say knowledge is power and the knowledge bombardment overload allows us to miss the important factors of our streaming social involvement.
Imagine every time you met a good friend you had to repeat all you two had done in your lives, sharing the moments. The doctor’s office would require you to go over all your medical problems and updates before you met the doctor. It does not work! We have to be proactive and store our information and be allowed to update the changes as we go along our journey.
In fact, it is in the detail that we can achieve it all. At birth greeted and surrounded by something medical, recorded in some sort of fashion. There is a record file started and continues until the medical end. All that occurs in our lives, recorded, allowing us to know what is next. In fact, others are going to need access to this information to assist us through our years and to make sure we make it to the ultimate guaranteed departure.
Tracometry is the established vehicle for all of this to occur and succeed. None of us knows what is around the next corner or even if we shall return home to see, our loved ones or those we work with and what is next in store. It is the capturing of the details, facts and fiction, which will carry us through. That is all well and good, we do not want it stored in some time capsule to be opened years later, the information must have fluidity and accessible under secure and necessary circumstances.
Tracometry’s expertise is to provide solutions for life. Public safety of all is a priority and our ability to take Street Level Digital Input regarding all infractions, which include crime, code enforcement, health code violations, animal control and community issues, is of the utmost importance. Through this data, we are able to analyze the social patterns and inform all, which includes law enforcement and the public through our Internet communications capabilities. Our long-term strategic partner, BAIR Analytics, has developed a groundbreaking reporting of this information and requirements.
From cradle to grave, we have the solutions to maintain secure access to the most vital information and accessibility when needed by the people you want to have access to it, for you and those that love you.
We Must Stop Barrelling Down the Path of Dire Mental Health, Issues, Banning Guns or Arming More People...
by Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry
The shootout has got to stop! This is an issue that affects millions and millions of families and their children and will not be solved or resolved in the focus of a press camera or audio microphone. It is about people, life and the freedoms we expect in America. Ranting and raving by all concerned will get us nowhere fast!
Just step back, take a deep breath and get logical!
The discussion and solutions are regarding safety, guns and mental health and this cannot just be directed at schools, colleges and universities. It is a problem where ever their is a gathering, public places, the workplace and the home.
"America’s most powerful gun lobby has demanded armed guards in the hallways of every school, declaring: “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", so states the NRA (National Rifle Association.
The NRA had promised they would offer “meaningful contributions” to the national debate on firearms in their first public statements since the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school, where gunman Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and six adults. It was not...
Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City and a champion of gun control, described the press conference as "a shameful evasion of the crisis" facing the US. "Instead of offering solutions to a problem they have helped create, they offered a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America where everyone is armed and no place is safe," he said.
Mr LaPierre (NRA), called on Congress to create a “national shield” of armed security guards in every single school in America by the time classes resume in January. “What if when Adam Lanza started shooting his way in the Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday, he’d been confronted by qualified armed security?” He said. “Will you at least admit it’s possible that that 26 innocent lives might have been spared that day?”
He warned that “the next Adam Lanza” was already planning an attack and said the government must create “an active national database of the mentally ill”. There is no band-aid that will fix this!
He railed against “the press and political class consumed by fear and hatred” of gun owners and attacked the “callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry” of violent video games. At one point, the press conference was shown a brief clip of an Internet game called “Kindergarten Killers”, where the user shoots at animated children. “Isn’t fantasising about killing people as a way of getting your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?”, Mr LaPierre said. The NRA remains a potent force in US politics, donating millions of dollars to both Democrats and Republicans in order to secure their opposition to gun laws. More than half the members of the incoming Congress have received donations from the NRA during their political careers.
However, the group’s position appeared to be out of step with a growing number of Americans in support of gun control. Mr Obama responded to a petition on the White House website that demanded tighter restrictions and had gained nearly 200,000 signatures. “We hear you,” Mr Obama said in an online video. “I will do everything in my power as president to advance these efforts because if there’s even one thing we can do as a country to protect our children, we have a responsibility to try”. Trying to make sense of grown men and women arguing to the point of hatred over children's safety, gun controls and shades of mental illness is sublime and ridiculous. Facts are facts, we have a problem Houston!
Solutions are necessary and we must start by fessing up to the problems and stop the NIMBY attitude.
There is a mental health problem in the USA and worldwide
Guns in the wrong hands, whether a mentally challeged person or a criminal is more than dangerous
Background checks on all legal purchases is a must
A strong gaterkeeper security principle must be put in place in all schools, colleges, universities, public event locations and to some extent, the workplace. Which will include some armed guards, but not as the ultimate and only solution
Accept that Big Brother Solutions are the only answer, as nothing else in decades has worked
Our Tracometry experienced team has answers that are merited with discussion. This is a time to think about all our futures and resolve immediately, without pause and delay.
and Street Level Information to Make the Right Decision?
by Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry
The issues are simple and relate to one thing, safety for all!
Subjects, gun control and mental health, which are like oil and water, they do not mix! It is not just schools that concern us, it is the workplace as well. Violence has increased at an alarming rate and it seems, since we have introduced more social technology to communicate by, we have either silenced each other, or just plain non-communicated in a pleasant manner. Our home lives are spilling over into everyday work and education environments. Domestic situations, which need our attention, have been ignored. Family friends, fellow workers, you know someone or somebody that needs help, conversation and intervention. Do not let it slip by, it is these unknown quantities that become tomorrow's headlines. Act Now!
It is the matter of guns being available without background checks that is causing the most concerns and with a little overtone of the mental health issues thrown in. The waiting period at gun shows does not work for an instant sale and to boot, the backgrounds cannot be completed over the weekend. If a restriction was placed on all gun shows, they would close and fade away like an old outdoor target.
There is an answer and it is not to stop gun sales, as guns do not kill people. people kill people. Is there an answer? Of course there is and Tracometry has an answer to appease all. We shall be issuing this to government in the next few days and believe we shall have the answer accepted pending discussion.
It is reported, only days after calling for a ban on assault weapons and help for the mentally ill, and on the day he is set to attend a summit on gun violence at St. Joe’s University, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey announced that he has been selected to serve on the President’s newly formed gun violence panel.
The panel will be led by Vice President Joe Biden. Ramsey was asked by Fox29 if he is confident that this tragedy in Newtown will be enough to encourage changes, and it will not be forgotten months later like so many other shootings, to which he replied:
Charles Ramsey is On President Obama’s Gun Violence Panel, Is Not Confident Changes Will Be Made
“Am I confident? No, I’m not, because I’ve seen this happen too many times. In the midst of tragedy, everyone is making comments, they’re crying, they’re praying, they’re doing all kinds of things. But then, a month later, it’s back to business as usual … I hope this is different. I’d like to be optimistic. We’ll see. But, you know, let’s see if they’re still having this conversation in February or March. That’s the key. And, unfortunately, once everything is over in Newtown, you know, we go right back to doing the same things we did before, which is pretty much nothing.
Trying to take something away is always hard and normally fails! It is not a knee jerk reaction that is required on these issues, it is common logical smart thinking in a timely manner that needs to be at the top the list. Washington cannot agree on taxes or spending cuts, what chance do you think they can do the right thing on guns and mental health? Exactly! So let the conversation begin...
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to All...
Why Has Your
Municipality, Plenty of Money in
Plain Sight,
Yet Not Collected?
By Nick Ashton,
Founder, Tracometry
What is the
point of charging fines, imposing financial penalties and property seizures and
never really attempting to collect what is rightfully owed to the citizenry? After all, it is “of the people”, is it not?
Policy
review shows the exposure of this under-collection phenomenon is sparking
political and citizen controversy. Government agencies are failing to collect
billions and billions of dollars in civil and criminal fines—even when the offenders
possess the means to pay. Parking and
booting fines alone are in the millions of dollars!
During a
recession in which governments (local, state and federal), are slashing
budgets, cutting back public services, and laying off workers, they are at the
same time neglecting to recover huge sums from street level parking/booting
fines, code enforcement housing/building fines, health violation infractions, corporations
and executives that have actually been found to have engaged in various wrongdoing.
Particularly
in such an economic stagnant environment, one would expect a groundswell of
support to push all agencies to improve their fine collection rates. Nevertheless,
neither the public, press, nor political branches has said much about this
major financial problem, let alone sought explanations for why it is occurring
nationwide.
The modern
administrative state includes thousands of different agencies, administrative
bodies, and executive entities at the federal, state and local levels. These bodies regulate practically every imaginable
industry and subject matter. Agencies
enforce statutes, rules, and regulations through a variety of means, but
imposition of monetary sanctions (including fixed or variable fines and
penalties, and restitution) is the primary enforcement tool.
Administrative
fines may be imposed in both the civil and criminal contexts. Virtually every major administrative
regulatory program contains some type of monetary sanction. Sometimes, fines are the only available
sanction.
This story
shows us exactly what we are speaking of:
“When you get a
speeding ticket, you get a fine or go to court to dispute the ticket.
Topeka
Municipal Court Judge Vic Miller said speeding ticket fines are paid rather
quickly. However, when it comes to misdemeanor charges like drug- or
alcohol-related crimes, many times those fines are not paid. Over the years,
those unpaid fines have accumulated to $12,619,265.37.
“Our
expectation is that 100 percent of the fines and fees we levy will be paid 100
percent by 100 percent of the people. That’s our attitude,” Miller said. “Reality tells us that’s not going to
occur. But that’s our mission — to do what we can as close as we can to that
100 percent.”
However,
Miller says that is never going to happen and cites an example.
“There is an $800 mandatory fine for your
second offense for driving without insurance,” he said. “You didn’t have any money to begin with or
you would have had insurance on the car. So when I give you the $800 fine and
the $149 cost, that’s $1,000 I’m likely not going to see for some time, if
ever, because the person I’m looking at just plain doesn’t have it."
Miller
had story after story on why those convicted could not pay their fines. Many
are in jail, so they have no way to pay the fines. Others, who are addicted to
drugs or alcohol, continue to be arrested, and their fines continue to climb.
He gave an example of an individual who has more than $5,000 in fines who is
almost in his court weekly, when not in jail.
While
Miller wants to see these individuals get help, he said there is nothing he can
do.
“I can’t make them have treatment,"
he said. "In many cases, treatment
is not available.”
The
municipal court has switched collection agencies to try to regain some of the
unpaid funds. Miller said the new agency, as well as the courts, are going to
be more aggressive in collections. He also said they are working with
those who have fines to develop payment programs or settlements.”
Citizens
are demanding the same level of municipal services and city councils always
look toward tax increases and at the monies lying on the streets, so to
speak. Collections are the answer, it is
money already adjudicated, with documented information on all who owe these
monies. It is the ability to be able to
collect in a forthright professional manner with proven methods in these
economic times.
recoupeit,has
the ability to make this happen! Why can we achieve this set of financial goals of collections and municipalities and
states have failed?
America is less and less independently in control of its economy and just
this simple collection problem highlights this issue. It is not the time to reflect, dissect or
form massive hearings and committees on the situation; it is time to take
action with resolve and the proven solution and improve the cash flow back to
the citizens, which they are owed and demand.
A new
approach is required, credit score threats do not work and standardized
attempts prove ineffective. We have
received or heard of the collection agencies phone calls, how it sounds like a
person reading a script or selling you a “time share” opportunity. This is an old ineffective approach and
removed from the reality of the situation.
In some cases, genuinely, you cannot get blood from a stone, so other
methods must be enacted for success.
Our capabilities offer a worldwide proven approach, everything that every
city/state needs. Give us your cash
collection problems and we will give you the answers with increased collections
into the depleted coffers.
recoupeit, IS THE CHANGE THAT IS REQUIRED, NOW!
WE are in the NOW and KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…

It is the knowledge and our
abilities to communicate at a level that is understood, by all.
The majority of Americans are against gun control of any sort. Mass killings are a worldwide problem and whether it is a rock, knife, gun, rope or bomb, people who want to inflict death upon others will do so by whatever means they have at hand. After or during the event, most take their own lives and we never know the real reasons for the outburst of mayhem. Forensically, our law enforcement are given the task to breakdown the aftermath of the death and destruction. Socially, America and the world are in dire straits and hurtling toward an out of control vortex or spiral. They say knowledge is power, social media and video games being used by the masses, with the ability to hide behind video screens and inflict disgusting bullying and hatred have grown out of proportion and must be roped in to stop the connected slaughter. We have to take control with the laws we have on the books to liquidate this community of social problems. Committees, inquiries and meetings will be a start, but not the final answer. Time is not on our side and although we want it to "never" happen again, it will. It is action that is required with proven methods of the collection of information and the ability to react to this data immediately, placing solutions in the hands of all.
Copycats are massing behind closed doors, planning on how they can do "one better", wanting the same or better publicity for their actions. During this time, we have to be more aware and vigilant. This is a time of telling others of our concerns about neighbors, co-workers, family members and friends. This is not the time to think it is none of your concern, it is! The Pied Piper Project (P3) has proven we can use the laws already on the books to remove the problems in very short periods, weeks, not multiple months. It is a means to infiltrate communities with proven knowledge and data to stop these situations.
This is the "Reality" of NOW! With gathered street level information from all sources allows us to pinpoint the problems. It is our "Next Event Predictability" that gives us more than an edge on the upcoming problems. Law enforcement wants your trust and assistance so they can gather this important data that makes the difference. This is not the time to think you are a noisy neighborr, a snitch or a nark, it a time to share and STOP the diabolical event to become the Headlines of Evil. Tracometry and its partner, BAIR Analytic, want to assist in providing the platforms to make this change happen and work together toward a NeverLand.
