Kansas Masons have so far donated 23 million dollars to the Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute (KMCRI) at the University of Kansas Cancer Center. I am quite proud of the work that Kansas Masons do to support people and institutions in Kansas.

Lawrence software company Saavi Accountability helps monitor online addictions

Version 2.0 that was released about two weeks ago answers most of the items mentioned in the early review of the software. Neil J. Rubenking the reviewer at PC Mag did us a favor by putting the software through its paces too see where we might improve the user experience.

We said we would post an update when items were fixed but PC Mag only allows one user review. Mr. Rubenking has told us that he is looking forward to taking another look at the product and we look forward to that review as well.

This is a completely new category of software that is addressing a problem that has developed since the internet started. Online addictions is a new field in psychology, but their is plenty of information out their regarding the harm of spending to much time online. Whether you call it an addiction or a compulsion makes no difference, it is the impact to individuals that matters, families destroyed, financial ruin or just the loss of interpersonal relationships.

Saavi has been endorsed by therapists all over the country because they know what a helpful tool this is. When dealing with online addictions a person has to want to change. Even if they do, they may need support. We offer a way to support an individual who is struggling. Technology is not going to change the heart of a person, but using a relational approach and technology as a tool to change, can.

For parents, setting standards and holding the family accountable to those standards is key to having children learn to make right decisions, even when they are not at home. Blocking and filtering takes the choice away, to make right decisions. We believe learning to be accountable to the things we say and the things we do is important.

We are committed to making a difference and we promise to continue to enhance the software and make it even better. Our goal is to help individuals struggling to have hope and to transform their life. Help parents have a tool that increases discussion in the home about what is acceptable behavior.

I would encourage anyone to judge for themselves the value of the product, we have a free trial. The license is for up to four computers. You can learn more at www.saaviaccountability.com

Lawrence software company Saavi Accountability helps monitor online addictions

You are correct once someone chooses what standards to have online and they set up the software, if a change is made or someone tries to disable it, a notification is sent out.
