Description

LassieBot is a personal safety device forpeople who venture alone into the wild, and for seniors or othersliving alone where others might not notice their absence. LassieBotmonitors the gyroscope and sends out SMS alerts to your emergencycontacts when the device hasn't been moved for a long time.

LassieBot is very simple to use, and once properly set up you canlargely forget about it, but you must read and understand ALL ofthe warnings and instructions below before LassieBot has a chanceto function correctly in a real emergency.

SAFETY WARNINGS

There are many aspects to being safe while alone, and everyoneshould have back-up plans to cover as many contingencies aspossible. LassieBot is meant to address only one of those cases,namely summoning help if you or a loved one are alone andunconscious. THERE ARE MANY WAYS IN WHICH LASSIEBOT COULD FAIL, ANDI TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FAILURES AND MAKE NO PROMISE OFITS UTILITY FOR ANY PERSON OR ACTIVITY.

Here are some of the ways that LassieBot could fail:
* Your phone is turned off or the battery runs out.
* Your phone is charging. By design, LassieBot will not send alertswhile connected to a charger.
* Your phone is in Airplane mode or is otherwise unable toconnect.
* LassieBot is not turned on at the time of the emergency or ispoorly configured.
* There is no cellular signal when LassieBot attempts to send outalerts.
* Alerts are sent but do not reach their destinations.
* Alerts reach their destination but your contacts do not noticethem in time or take appropriate actions.
* LassieBot will not work in a moving vehicle.
* There may be bugs in the implementation.
Before using, you must configure and test it, and you need to fullyunderstand what it does and how it works.

Step 1: Identify your emergency contacts. You do that by puttingthe 4 letters "ICE:" at the beginning of their names. ICE standsfor "In Case of Emergency", and rescue workers know to look forsuch contacts when treating a lone unconscious person. Taking thissimple action will go a long way to improving your safety whilealone even if you never install LassieBot!

Talk with your potential emergency contacts BEFORE marking them assuch as some people may not want that responsibility. Be sure totell them to treat any alert as if it is a real emergency and thatmost alerts will be tests or false-positives, but all alerts shouldbe assumed to be actual emergencies until they learn otherwise. Irecommend using 2 emergency contacts.

Step 2: Select the amount of time with no motion that will triggeralerts. This should be longer than you ever go without handlingyour device.

Step 3: Click the big red button turning it green. At this pointLassieBot is on the job and you can see that by the stickynotification in your notifications list, as well as from the tinyLassieBot icon in the very top-left corner.

Step 4: Configure and test. Clicking the check box brings up thesecontrols. LassieBot will beep each time it gets a gyroscope eventindicating that the timer has been reset. Adjust the sensitivity ifneeded so it always beeps when you pick it up but never when sitingon a table.

Click the "Send Test Alert" button and make sure that all of youremergency contacts get the message. Warn them first that you willbe doing this, and make sure they respond appropriately.

Finally, uncheck the check box to hide the configuration and testcontrols and stop the beeping.

BATTERY WARNING

LassieBot will not allow your phone to sleep, otherwise it cannotwork so you will need to recharge more often. This is the price youpay for the added security. Turn LassieBot off when you know youdon't need it or plan to leave your phone for a long time. Justdon't forget to turn it back on later!

If LassieBot saves even one person's life, it will have been worthall my effort. I hope you will never need it, but if it does I hopethat you will contact me and tell me your story.

Retirement Explorer 1.5 APK
Wondering how much money you'll need toretire? How about how long you can live on what you have now? Somany questions! There are four main variables that affect yourretirement income from your investments:Basic Assumptions* Wealth: Net worth at time of retirement. Not added to afterretirement.* Interest: Per year (not including compounding), after inflation,paid continuously.* Expenses: The fixed amount you draw out each month, paidcontinuously.* Length: Years of retirement.With this little app you can easily explore "what if" scenariosinvolving these variables.Instructions:The selected row is the variable the applet is solving for. Bydefault the "Expenses" variable is selected. This means that youcan see how much you can draw each month depending on the valuesyou enter for the other three. For example, if you expect a 25 yearretirement and expect to earn 5%, you can input those values andthen adjust the "Wealth" slider to see how much money you will beable to live on each month depending on your net wealth atretirement.You can select the "Wealth" row in order to see how much you'llneed to save in order to retire with a particular desired monthlydisbursement. You can solve for "Interest" to see what sort ofinterest rate you'll to meet your goals, and you can solve for"Length" to see how many years your savings will last given theother parameters. Play with the app for a while and you should getthe idea of how to answer many other interesting "what if"scenarios.You can even use the app for purposes other than justretirement. For instance, if you are an officer in a start-up orown a small business and are considering whether to take out a bigloan or a round of venture capital funding, you can calculate howlong of a runway it will provide, or how much you can spend eachmonth with a runway of a given length.WARNING: I MAKE NO WARRANTIES AS TO THE UTILITY OR ACCURACY OFTHIS APP. IT IS JUST A TOOL FOR GETTING A ROUGH IDEA OF POSSIBLERETIREMENT SCENARIOS, AND IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR EXPERT ADVICEFROM RETIREMENT PROFESSIONALS.
