Force Yourself Up with Walk Me Up for Android

If you’re looking to get serious about waking up, you need an alarm that takes the job of waking you up seriously.

Force Yourself Up with Walk Me Up for Android
Walk Me Up for Android is just that app; an alarm for those that need an extra push to get up for those early classes.

Using your phone’s accelerometer, Walk Me Up will sound until you’re physically up and walking with your phone. There’s no getting around it either, as the app is smart enough to detect shaking.

It features enough customization to fit any type of user. For instance, those who have a light step can adjust the step sensitivity so the app can better register steps. And if you need a little extra help, a voice assistant can provide step feedback.

The app’s settings particular shine in the masochist department, allowing you to disable the snooze button and allow it to sound even when your phone is set to silent.

If you can’t give up the snooze button or find that more practical alarms don’t do the trick, Walk Me Up may be your saving grace for waking up early.

Walk Me Up is available free on Google Play for Android 2.2 and up.

Access Blocked Sites In Schools And College

Hi friends in this post I would like to share with you the trick to access blocked sites in schools and college.
Are you getting an error message saying that the site which you entered has been blocked from accessing in you computer lab or else where in your college/school, Don't worry here is a trick to open those blocked sites in your schools/college. Just follow the below steps.

1.) Using Webproxy:
These free web proxies allow you to bypass local proxies and security restrictions and surf blocked sites or simply surf privately and securely without the need to install any software on the computer. If you browse the web through public web proxy the website cannot find your real IP address. You IP address gives out information regarding to your location, OS, web browser, etc which can be misused.


So here are some list of Proxies by which you can access any blocked websites:

Webproxy
Hidemyass
Proxywebsite
Kproxy
Uswebproxy
24 Proxy
645 webproxy
Zendproxy
fastbrowse
How to use?
At first select any of the proxies listed above and open it in your school/college web browser and a search box will appear on each of the above sites. Use it to write the url of the site you would like to visit and hit enter then the site you wished to see will appear.
(For me in my college Kproxy is working)



2.) Using Popular Online Translator: Another way of unblocking websites is by using popular online translating tools like Google's translator.

Follow the steps below:

On the google's translator box enter URL of the website you would like to access.
Then set the language from English to English So that the page will appear as such (i.e) in English.
Now Click on Translate button.
Now the webpage will appear as if it is inside the Google Translator page. But indirectly we have been able to unblock the website quite easily.


3.) Alternative Method:
Alternative to the above method is below.

Steps to follow:

Click START
Then RUN
Type CMD and hit enter
Then in the CMD window type "ping www.yoururl.com" and hit enter (eg.: ping www.dailytipsndtricks.blogspot.com)
After pressing Enter you should see the numbers that looks like ip address pop-ups. Copy those numbers
Then paste it in the browser's url box and access the blocked site.
For eg. to open facebook see the screenshot below

8. From the above image For facebook.com the proxy is 69.63.189.11
9. Enter this ip in the browser's url bar and hit enter.

4.) Unblock website that are blocked by Routers
Some users on their routers has the options of Firewall which blocks access to some sites if the filter is applied. To overcome in such cases you need to browse any proxy site and if still you can’t access then you will need to gain access to the router login (Usually an IP address) and password, then disable particular webpage from being blocked in the settings.
That's it!

How to Make a Bomb at Home [Easy]

This will teach you how to make a fireball out of an ordinary box of safety matches. (An article by: WikiHow)
Steps


1.Pour all the matches out of the box, being careful not to accidentally strike and ignite any of them.




2.Cut off all of the match heads, using the end of the striking head as a cut line.



3.Cut out all striking strips from the box. Most boxes will have two strips on the two longer sides.



4.Make one strip into a loop. Curl the strip so that its striking surface is on the inside of the loop. Then, tape the outside together.



5.Determine what type of fireball you want to create. Do you want to watch a slow-burning, flaming fireball, or a more explosive, quick-burning fireball.





For a flaming fireball:

Tape a loose, thin layer of match heads to the inside of the loop.

Create another loop using another striking strip, except reverse it so that the striking surface is on the outside. This will go around the outside of the first loop.

Tape a loose, thin layer of match heads to the outside of this new loop.

Tape remaining match heads inside of the first loop.

Add tape to seal off the sides of loops and secure the entire structure. It doesn't have to be air-tight, be it does need to be stable enough to ensure that no match heads are flung free. This is done for safety as much as it is to ensure complete combustion.


For a more explosive fireball:



Fill the little area of the loop with the match heads and tape the end of the striking surface over the top so the match heads are trapped inside.
Wrap this structure with tape (i.e. cello tape), making sure every gap is covered. You want to make this into a nearly air-tight ball, but you don't want to over do the thickness of the tape.
6.Throw it hard at the ground and it should burst into flames, but be careful.
