My experience with cannabis is very second hand. I have friends who partake
and are big advocates. My abstinence from pot is a personal choice.
The problem I have now is that there is a snake oil aspect. I am told it
cures or mitigates all ills. No one is willing to talk about the documented
drawbacks.
My feeling on this is very libertarian. It is your business to partake. Just
go in with eyes wide open. A lot of the good publicity is from people who
want to get rich, partake, and the government is wanting to gouge cannabis
users through sin taxes.
This article is worth republishing. Real choice begins with knowledge.
Libre is an excellent weight tracker for the android. Problme with it is that
it is not well documented.
I got interested in the app after Looking at the Hacker's Diet . Especially the section on using
xponentially smoothed moving average with smoothing constant 0.9 and trends. This appealed to me
since there is a lot of noise in my weight plot.
I don't know how misnomer1 on myfitnesspal
got the formula for Libre, but it corrisponds with the Hacker's diet. If you look at the equation and instead of
saying 'days' but Alpha or Smoothing constant, it is all the same.
current trend = Alpha x latest weight entered + (1 - Alpha) x previous day's trend
where, Alpha = 1/smoothing days as input in settings
So, instead of thing "days", think smoothing constant. Changing the advance setting for smoothing days to 10 days, you get the same results as the Hacker's diet.
First sail of the year! All I am going to say was that it was light wind and very shifty and I need to resist the urge to pinch going to weather. Still fun. Video was just cut short because the battery ran out.

I have a friend who is paying dearly for being sedentary. It meshes with my belief that any
activity is better than nothing. This article is so true that it is worth republishing.
FCF yield is a replacement for normail stock yield or stockholders yield when doing the final sort
for a dogs of the dow strategey. It is defined as
\(Free Cash Flow Yield = \frac{Free Cash Flow per Share}{Market Price Per Share}\)[1]
or the custom field that I use in AAII Stock Investor Pro
100*[Free cash flow/share 12m]/[Price]
The "100 *" is ment to be to shift the decimal to the right. AAII Stock Investor Pro
tends to only show two decimal points. Somes stocks have less than one percent
FCFY.
The Dogs of the Dow strategy only asks one question: how cheap? And it makes a narrow comparison in delineating that by only considering dividend yields.
The argument for the Dobermans is:
The Dobermans of the Dow is a better companion tool for investors, because
it’s more dynamic. It starts by sorting Dow constituents by a quality metric
(ROE). Then, among those higher quality names, it compares prices in a more
universally applicable way (FCF yield)
Last year, I sailed a lot. I think it would be fun to create a sailing log for myself.
Still trying to figure out how to report it. I know for one thing, is that milage will be
from dock to dock.
This is one of my new years resolution: to relose my weight. I am as of the New Year, medically
overweight.
Why is this journey going in as a blog entry? From what I read when you have accountablity you do a better job. As always,
I like to have a record of my social media on my own site even though I am on My Fitness Pal.
Before I get started, here are some simple facts about obesity or being medically overweight: [AOBF2020]
The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US
adults in 2015~2016
The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016
Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and
certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable,
premature death.
The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147
billion in 2008 US dollars; the medical cost for people who have obesity was
$1,429 higher than those of normal weight.
As last time I tried my goal is to use percent bodyfat as my goal. Although I am looking for
a 15% body fat, the range I am looking for is 15% to 17%. The numbers I plan to base it by my bodyfat on my Index scale and
American Council on
Excerse:
Description

Men
Essential Fat
10-13%
2-5%

14-20%

I hope that I do not fall on my face like the last time: Healthy BMI Reboot.

I plan on tracking in this post my exercise goals for 2020. For this post the goals are
going to be triathalon based: cycling, running swimming. Although it does not include my other
activities, I think it serves it purpose. My goal this year includes doing and actual sprint triathalon!
Even though my goals are significantly grater than what I did last year, I think that they are
achievable.
2020 Goals
Activity
Distance
Cycling
1,500.00 mi
Running
1,500.00 mi
Swimming
60 mi
I am tracking this on other services already. I like to also track on my own
site. It is my data.
