Turning your phone into GPS for Motorbike

4th January 2021
"Connect your phone with your motorbike GPS and enjoy the adventurous ride."

There are some plausible explanations for moto GPS being crazy expensive, such as water-resistance, shock protection, and the fact that riders tend to gamble on ridiculously expensive gadgets, but the truth is that most of us are still carrying tiny machines capable of performing A-to-B routing tasks: our phones. Yeah, you can stick your earphones in your helmet, force your phone in your pocket, and go. A phone with a map app, a place to install it, a power source, and a headset are required to use GPS while traveling to places you don't know the way of.

motorbike-gps

Here is what you need to install GPS on your bike,

App for mobile:

Many of the applications used for this purpose need an internet connection. And only in those areas where you have proper network coverage can those applications work too. In certain cases, because touring on a motorcycle often includes riding through rural areas, there is a good risk that you will lose internet access, which essentially means finding your way. We encourage you to use an app that comes with downloadable maps to escape certain scenarios. On the opposite, there is no need for the above-listed apps if you are traveling through urban areas only, and simple apps such as Google Maps will do the job for you.

Mounting and Securing Smartphones:

As you have agreed to use your mobile as a GPS device, the question arises as to where to put it and repair it. You will require a mobile mount on which you can freeze your computer for this reason. Most mobile mounts are adjustable so the shocks and vibrations of the road can be coped with. It is equally necessary to secure your computer from other external agents, besides providing a good mount for grasping your handset. Holding the phone in the open on amount makes it vulnerable to certain external variables such as dust, water, etc. For this reason, to give your beloved gadget proper protection, go and get a high-quality smartphone cover or shield.

Supply of Power:

In contrast to the one that is in simple use, a smartphone with an active GPS consumes its battery even faster. To guarantee continuity, you will require an external source of power for this purpose. Using an external USB port will do this, and it gives you the amount of energy you need. Most bikes come with a factory-fit USB port, though one or two USB ports can also be attached to your computer for your convenience. Plug your mobile into the USB jack, and now you don't have to think about wasting your battery.

Headphone:

Using spoken directions given by the GPS applications is one better thing than having your eyes on GPS. The benefits of using spoken commands are that you don't have to take your eyes off the road in order to see the GPS route. Several firms sell high-end headphones, choosing the one that better suits you.

 

Summarizing everything:

1. Choose and download an app on your mobile. By spending some time with it, get used to it.

2. Consider where you want your phone to be placed and patch it accordingly.

3. Make sure it's running and check the power supply.

4. Plug the headphones on.

How to text from your computer with Android Messages

5th October 2020
"Google android messages from web."

Google has the ability to text from the web with Android Messages. The feature gives users a lot more flexibility in choosing how and where they can carry on conversations. As long as your Android smartphone is powered on, you can text from a desktop computer or even other mobile devices — including iOS products like an iPad if you just open up Safari. Aside from text, you can also send emoji, stickers, and images over the web.

Using Android Messages on the web requires using Android Messages as your main texting app on your phone. I like it just fine, and Google is clearly planning big things for the future, but if you prefer, say, Samsung’s default messages app or something else, the two don’t work together.

With that out of the way, getting started and setting things up is fairly simple.

Make sure you’ve got the latest version of Android Messages installed on your phone.

Go to messages.android.com on the computer or other device you want to text from. You’ll see a big QR code on the right side of this page.

Open up Android Messages on your smartphone. Tap the icon with three vertical dots at the top and to the far right. You should see a “Messages for web” option inside this menu.

Tap “QR code scanner” and point your phone’s camera at the QR code on your other device. In less than a second, your phone will vibrate, and the two will be linked up. You should notice your conversations show up in the left column of the browser window. Google says that “conversation threads, contacts, and other settings will be encrypted and cached on your browser.”

Note: this doesn’t mean your actual text conversations are encrypted. They’re not.

And that’s it. To make sure you don’t have to repeat the QR process, you can keep your computer paired with your phone by enabling “Remember this computer.” There will probably be a pop-up asking if you want to enable that the first time you use the web version of Messages. If you missed it, just go to the settings menu, which you can access from the web version of Android Messages by clicking on the three-dot icon to the right of “Messages.” (Of course, you shouldn’t turn this on if you’re using a public PC that other people can easily access.)

WHICH BROWSERS WORK WITH ANDROID MESSAGES ON THE WEB?

Chrome
Firefox
Microsoft Edge
Safari

REMOVE A COMPUTER’S ACCESS TO YOUR MESSAGES

If you want to revoke a web browser’s access to your conversations and messaging, you can quickly do so from your Android smartphone. Go back to the “Messages for web” area of Android Messages, and you can choose to sign out of individual computers or all of them with a click.

THERE’S A DARK MODE!

Dark themes can be handy if you find that all an app’s whites and light grays might overload your eyeballs at night. If you want to enable the Messages dark theme on mobile, tap the same icon with three vertical dots and looking for “Choose theme.” You can go with light, dark, or the system default.

On the web app, you’ll find “Enable dark theme” in the menu that you get after clicking on the three-dot icon to the right of “Messages.

KEEP YOUR PHONE POWERED ON

Android Messages on the web can’t work independently of your smartphone. So if your battery dies or if your phone shuts off for any reason, you won’t be able to send any texts from your computer.

DRAG MEDIA INTO THE ANDROID MESSAGES CONVERSATION

Sending a photo from Android Messages on the web is dead simple. You can either use the attachments icon — to the right of emoji and stickers — or just drag and drop media into the conversation window to send an MMS.

How to prevent breast cancer?

23rd November 2020
"Let's prevent breast cancer!!"

Breast cancer- the name in itself is intimidating and worries a lot of women. There is a large number of women in the world suffering from breast cancer. However, thanks to developing technology, the cure, and prevention of the previously incurable disease are being discovered. 

There are many factors that may cause breast cancer. Many are uncovered as well. The risk factors such as family history can not be controlled. However, there are other ways of preventing breast cancer. 

Check and maintain your weight

Too skinny and too chubby is never a nice thing. So, having a healthy weight must be everyone's dream. If you suddenly gain weight, the risk of being diagnosed with different cancers, including breast cancer increases. So, keep your weight in check especially after menopause. 

Be physically active

Being physically active and fit automatically strengthens your immune and makes you healthy. Researchers have found that if a woman is physically active for at least 30 minutes a day, the risk of breast cancer is minimized. 

Breastfeed your child

Breastfeeding is very essential for the health of both the child and the mother. You must breastfeed for a total of one year or more including all your children to avoid breast cancer. 

Postmenopause hormones

Post-menopause hormone therapy, if taken for a longer period of time, can result in several harmful diseases including breast cancer. Consult your doctor and try to minimize the dose and duration of hormone therapy. If possible, try to take non-hormonal therapies and medications that will outweigh the risk factors. 

Do not smoke or drink

Having a healthy and nutritious diet is essential. And so is avoiding harmful intakes and habits. Evidence and research have proven that women who smoke have a high risk of suffering from breast cancer, mostly pre-menopausal women. Not only breast cancer, but it can also cause several other harms like lung cancer, asthma, stroke, heart disease, etc. So, try to avoid smoking. 

Tamoxifen and Raloxifene for high-risk women

The FDA-approved medications- Tamoxifen and Raloxifene can help to reduce the risk of breast cancer for high-risk women. Especially the ones for whom other preventive measures might not be enough. The medications are prescribed drugs to cure breast cancer. However, as they can have side-effects and is not suitable for everyone, have it only after consulting your doctor.

How to get Motorcycle Driving License in Nepal?

14th December 2020
"Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure."

Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure. What to do and where to go are important things.

 

nepali-driving-license

First of all :

Before giving trail practice at local learning centers. Be confident in yourself.

Visit the office or fill the form online:

Applicants may file a request online and verify the date of the written review. If the application has been submitted, the method shall have a specific reference number and other necessary information, which shall be drawn upon the date specified by the Transport Management Office when sitting for the written review.

You can submit the online form from this link below: 

http://www.dotm.gov.np/

This is closed for now due to the pandemic.

OR

You can get two forms at the DoTM office, just outside the premises. One is a driving license form and the other, both available for Rs 25, is a medical examination form. All forms, with all the essential data, would have to be completed and submitted for further processing at any other time as this service has been closed for the last six month due to Covid pandemic. 

 

driving-license-form

The first step (Appear for eye test)

snellen-chart

Meanwhile, we need to appear for a color blindness eye examination where 4-5 cards with dotted colored numbers will be revealed to us. The number written on the cards, we need to say.

We go to counter number 7 to pay the Rajaswa until the eye test is confirmed.

The second step (Appear for the written test)

On the day of the written test, early in the morning at 6:00 a.m reach Yatayat Karyalaya (may change due to corona). Questions like basic riding, traffic rules, things to do in an emergency may be asked. You can prepare these questions through applications found in the apple store or android store. The results will be published on the same day. If you pass the writing test, you need to arrive at your next trial that is trying the next day.

The third step (Give the trail)

giving-trial

So this is the main course of the food. The one that you practiced to earn the license. The trial involves the following :

  • An 8 path that needs to be crossed without touching the outskirts.

  • Once 8 is completed a straight lane comes and you need to climb on.

  • A small mistake can cost your license so, always look for traffic lights, when it turns green take a left turn using the left side light

  • You will reach a slope that you need to stop and control your bike with only your one leg on the ground.

  • After completing the “ukalo and oralo ” finally slowly you should pass the speed breaker in order to complete the trail.

If you pass, you will be declared right away. The policeman on duty will hand you the card signed. After 7 days, you need to visit Yatayat Karyala and go to room 2 to pay Nrs. 1500 Rajaswa. However, if you fail, you have the allowance to appear for the trial three times within 90 days if you have passed the written test.

Fourth step( Collect your driving license)

After a period of 30 days, you can re-visit the Yatayat Karyalaya to receive your Smart Driving License Card.

Make sure, you practice enough in driving training centers and do not ignore any part of the standard design. Read the driving book and get all your documents ready. 

You will be told when your license can be issued. You briefly get a slip before your smart driving license card is ready to qualify you for driving. You can drive with the slip, so when it gets loaded, you must keep the slip secure for you to retrieve yours.
