PLEASANTON, CA, May 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) GeniusWave announces Family Watch for Android. The safety and security mobile application is now available in over 5 Android App Stores Worldwide. To promote family safety for the summer, the new mobile app offers a free download and free trial services. The promotional period last to June 15th, encouraging families to travel safe and better monitor their children as get out and enjoy summer at the park, the mall, or camping, hiking or cycling.
The Family Watch app helps watch over family or friends when they travel, play in the neighborhood, at the mall, or coming home late at night. Based on prevention and location-based technology, the app can be used to register an event, track using GPS, and issue a call for help when they don't arrive safely. Also use it as a panic button to send an immediate message to your contact list.
The app builds on the principal of prevention is better than cure. When faced with an emergency situation, FamilyWatch will automatically trigger help without the need for user intervention. Often people do not have the opportunity to call for help during an emergency, even unable to use their phones panic button. During these situations people are not able to react because the phone is off, out of cell range, force in an unwanted position, or in panic mode. Family Watch uniquely reacts for you.
"Parents have always tried to watch over their kids' safety while providing some independence. This need is especially acute during the summer. Family Watch helps manage this balancing act using tracking services and GPS technology," says Greg Dierickse, Founder and CMO at GeniusWave. James Khoo, developer and CEO of SecQ.me also adds, "The early reaction from our Android users, has wanting to get the applications out to as many families as possible, and the promotion is a great way to try it out. This type of check-in services using GPS has become very popular and we see user adoption greatly increasing, while the technology itself is tested, true and reliable."

A mammoth task -- sorting out mammoth evolution
2011-05-31
Mammoths were a diverse genus that roamed across Eurasia and North America during the Pleistocene era. In continental North America, at least two highly divergent species have long been recognized – woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and Columbian mammoths (M. columbi). But new genetic evidence published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology suggests that these species may have been closely related enough to mate when they had the chance.
Remains of woolly mammoths have been found across the glacial tundra-steppe of Eurasia and northern North America, ...

Researchers solve mammoth evolutionary puzzle: The woollies weren't picky, happy to interbreed
2011-05-31
A DNA-based study sheds new light on the complex evolutionary history of the woolly mammoth, suggesting it mated with a completely different and much larger species.
The research, which appears in the BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology, found the woolly mammoth, which lived in the cold climate of the Arctic tundra, interbred with the Columbian mammoth, which preferred the more temperate regions of North America and was some 25 per cent larger.
"There is a real fascination with the history of mammoths, and this analysis helps to contextualize its evolution, ...
