Google Has Plan to Save Thousands of Lives - Good News Network[^]
Quote: Statistics from the U.S. government suggest over 10,000 lives could be saved each year if emergency response teams had more accurate location data for victims.
 
Over 10,000? Wow, that seems very high.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's binary, the comma is in error - so it's probably a substantial underestimate.

I believe it: crime or accident victims and other emergency cases (as heart attacks) needing fast help. Often has the emergency team a false address, is driving to some false places or have a traffic jam.
You must know: some minutes making a hugh difference for somebody who is in a life danger.
Thats why "First Aid" is so important

They probably came to that conclusion by thinking that the majority of these people who need this kind of aid are probably playing Pokémon Go, so they scoured news agencies to count how many stories were being published each day about Pokémon Go. It came to about 30 a day, multiply by 365 and you get 10,000.

I'm guessing a lot of the time people are out and about and may not actually know the name or the postcode where they are currently located.
It's easy if you're at home but if you're driving or walking, it's a different matter.

Google has created a tool for Android smartphones that automatically sends a caller’s location to the response unit. Wow! I'm whelmed.
That was supposed to have happened back when GPS receivers were first being built into smart phones. The idea was that when you dialed 911 from a GPS-equipped mobile phone, it would automatically send the location of the phone to the emergency operators. Now Google's gone and captured everybody's imagination by creating (finally) inventing that feature. Hurrah, go Google!
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

They're right, though.
People who live in a town and drive around a town all their lives are never going to know where they are unless they use Pokemon Go services from google.

I'm looking for quick recipes for yeast-less bread...and I'm looking for proven recipes (I did Google and found some, but I'm looking for something to be trust)...

Not quite an answer, but, back in graduate school I used to make such a bread. What I do remember is that (besides no kneading: I believe it was called "NO KNEAD BREAD") it contained eggs (to hold it together) and a bunch of baking soda (to make the bubbles). Not that healthy but I was young and it didn't matter.
Essentially, this was a cake recipe without all of the sugar and spice.
Hopefully the NO KNEAD BREAD will give you another search criterion.

I would think someone in your area might have a good one. Being a dumb American, my first thought was the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
You might ask co-workers if they have a mother / grandmother with one.

Speaking from experience, matza (the Hebrew name for unleavened bread) is not something you want to eat on a regular basis. The only reason we eat it is to remember that we were evicted from Egypt (during the Exodus), and were not given enough time to allow the dough to rise. Hence, we had unleavened bread. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If it is 'proven', it must have been proved. To prove bread it must have risen using a rising agent, e.g. yeast.
From (for example) http://www.homemadeloaves.co.uk/2012/08/what-is-proving-and-do-i-need-basket.html[^]:
Ok, so what is 'proving'?
Proving refers to the second rising of the dough - the rise that happens just prior to baking.
The first rise happens almost as an incidental by-product of the fermentation process.
After you've mixed the dough, you leave it to rest for a while to allow the yeast to multiply and start acting on the starches in the flour to produce carbon dioxide gas, which makes the bread rise.
So, in my bread recipes, we have two rising stages. The second one could, technically, be called 'proving'.

The problem with time is that it is (of course) different depending on your time zone and daylight savings time for your region.
Scenario 1: Let's say I make a blog entry at 8 AM EST, then I get on an airplane and fly to CA and set my computer to PST. When I look at my blog entry, it probably says that I made the post at 5 AM, but in my thinking, my frame of reference is still "when did I make that post (when I was in NY)?"
Scenario 2: I make a blog entry at 8 AM EST, and you, living in CA, notice my blog entry, which has a time of 5 AM (because you're in PST.) That makes sense to you, in your reference frame, because you know you're 3 hours earlier.
Scenario 3: I run a company that has ATM's (disclaimer: this is a good example, irrelevant to the fact that write software for ATM's, I'm not asking you to solve programming problem in that regard) in local gas stations all over the country. A customer in NY (UTC-5 at some points of the year) calls and says the ATM didn't dispense cash or a receipt! The help desk asks when they did the transaction, and they say, around 8 AM because that's the time in NY. The customer service is in CA (UTC-8 at the moment, we'll customer service in India for this scenario), so what time do they search for? Do they need to ask "where were you?" so they know the time zone and mentally subtract off 3 hours (maybe dealing a 1 AM NY transaction on 1/1/2016 now being seen in CA as 12/31/2015 10 PM????)
So the question becomes, what does the user need to see, and what do they expect to see? When (harhar) does it make more sense to store date/time in the true local time, including timezone (either "PST" style notation, or "UTC-8" notation, for example, keeping in mind that not everyone knows what "UTC" is or even timezone designations like EST, MST, PST, etc. When does it make sense to convert to local time? Should both "my local time" and "transaction local time" be available for displaying/searching?
Am I missing something obvious? Have you had to deal with this issue?
And I haven't even touched the nightmare of daylight savings time.

In my business we never store local time - conversion to/from that is always a UI or interface concern.
