How to Fine Tune Your SmartPhone GPS App. for Accuracy

 

[intro] GPS watches & Smartphone Apps can miscalculate distances. Try this experiment. Run around a track and then download the map data to your computer. Your laps will rarely overlap; worst of all, they may not even appear as ovals. [/intro]
How to boost the accuracy of your GPS data on a smartphone.

How can you improve the accuracy of your GPS App.?

There are a few key settings that help you keep tabs on your accuracy:

The most important one of these is the “time interval”. Time interval is the shortest distance between two recordings of your position. You want this value to be as low as possible.

Another important setting is the distance interval. If your path is filled with switchbacks or just a lot of winding roads, lowering this setting will boost accuracy. Again, make the interval as low as possible.

A third setting that helps you keep track of your accuracy, but can also turn your run into a living hell, is the “GPS accuracy” setting.  When your  distance from a decent satellite signal is 200 meters (default distance for most GPS apps) or less, your position will be calculated and tracked. You can decrease the radius and thereby improve accuracy, BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD SIGNAL because your phone will stop recording your workouts when the signal gets too weak. If you’ve refined your radius to 10 meters, then there will be MORE spots where the signal is weak, which means your phone will STOP tracking your distance. You might want to try a moderately smaller setting, such as 180 meters; although you can shrink the radius to 10 meters, it’s unlikely that you’ll be in range, especially if you live up in the mountains, like me.

Are You Peeling Away Your Health?

 

Come here. I’ve got something for you.

Come here, I got something for you. (Annoying Gif I made with a FREE Gif app and Amazon Prime. Clip is from the hit movie: The Firm.)

Have you ever gotten citric acid on a cut near your fingernail?

It’s a ferocious drop of agony, isn’t it? There are worst agonies to be endured from citrus abuse. (See: Amazing Orange Facts Below.)

Most orange peelers use a knife to cut towards the thumb, like a stupid mafia boss in a bad gangster movie. The result? A sliced thumb and a long strip or two of orange-peel. Worst of all the orange meat is covered with thick white coat of rind, which steals flavor from the juicy meat.

Add this method to your arsenal of orange peeling knowledge.

How to Peel and Orange efficiently.

I love the simplicity of this peel. It makes even easier to toss orange segments into smoothies; thereby, increasing recovery time from REPEATING GIF ANIMATION INDUCED SEIZURES.

Amazing Orange Facts

  • Pectin,a key component of orange fiber, protects the mucous membrane of the colon by reducing exposure to toxic substances; it also binds to and evacuates cancer-causing chemicals in the colon.
    eating oranges also reduces bad blood cholesterol levels.
  • The spray of orange zest from the orange peel is highly flammable. Ernest Hemingway
    used to entertain himself with citrus peel fireworks as he chomped on roasted chestnuts in front of a warm Parisian fire.
  • Oranges are full of phyto-nutrients such as caringenin, a powerful antioxidant, free radical assasin, anti-inflammatory agent, and immune system booster.
  • Spanariads used oranges to punish criminals and the like. The term, anaranjear, means, literally, to “orangicate” – to pelt something with oranges. Oranges are heavy and soft. Ouch! WTF? Spaniards like to throw fruit, first oranges and to this day tomatoes.

May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you escape being pelted with oranges and just enjoy their delicious flavor instead and also live with ease.

Easy Homemade Raw Power Bars that Will Make You Rich & Powerful

 

Raw Power Bars
[intro]All Raw, Homemade Power Bars (aka $100,000 cookies) that Will Make You Rich & Powerful[/intro]

Not free! This recipe is $100,000 (see Notes)

[one_half_first]

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup raw almond butter (you can grind your own at most stores)
  • Handful or two of crunched almonds (Grab a meat hammer or a regular hammer. Place handful of almonds on a cutting board, cover said almonds with towel to muffle their screams and to prevent damage from almond shrapnel. Pound away at the almonds. Explore your aggression in the safety of your kitchen. Soon you will have a glorious pile of gourmet crunched raw almonds, which you can then add to your delicious dessert and also sell online for thousands of dollars.)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
  • 1 tsp nutmeg (it adds an eggnog style flavor without all of the drunk; it’s optional).
  • 3 tbsp cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips (you can also use 2 table spoons of raw cocao powder)

[/one_half_first]

Instructions

Blender that has haunted me for over a decadeUse a $1.50 garage sale blending device that has haunted your household for decades to mix the almond butter, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coca powder (if that’s how you roll) into to a fine meal.
Add the agave nectar or honey and blend again. [pullquoteleft] Eat handful of the dough because it is mandatory to eat uncooked cookie dough in the mixing bowl. get a spoon ,scoop some raw dough onto it and offer to a loved one. It’s very classy and that person will love you for being so dang considerate.[/pullquoteleft]
Next, add the cocoa nibs (or chocolate chips) and glorious pile of almond shards. Mix by hand with and old hand-me-down wooden spoon with splinters and dark spots from years of cooking fiascoes.
Roll the cookie dough into balls; use a metal spoon (cut square sheets of wax paper & press to form squares or skip the wax paper and roll into balls because you’re a lazy ass–but that’s OK because you’re going to be rich and powerful after feasting on these delicious treats). Place the raw cookie shapes on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper or some other appropriate receptacle. Shove them into the ‘fridge until hunger strikes or an hour has passed. If they aren’t as firm as you like, stick them in the freezer for a while. [pullquoteright] Now you have some fake health food that is really just hunks of fat and sugar, but it has fiber and other nutrients and you made it yourself so it tastes super good.[/pullquoteright] Store cookies in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator or in your stomach for safe keeping.

Notes

In about 3 days, the raw almond cookies will turn into brilliant ideas for making money, which will enable your brain to figure out a way to make 1 million dollars! At that point, you will officially owe me 10% of the $1,000,000, which is, of course, a mere $100,000; it is a small price to pay. I mean, it’s like you’re buying $900,000 for only $100,000. That’s a good deal! You’re crazy NOT to do it, man.
