Cinnamon.

Did you know that cinnamon has many health benefits to it if you consume it, not only this but it also has been around for a long time. Long enough that even the bible itself mentions it. Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. Cinnamon has been used for centuries in medicines, drinks and even for embalming purposes. Don't worry it is defiantly safe to eat.

 

Only about 19 calories per tbsp. Contains, Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. Three things that some people really struggle to get in there diet. So this would defiantly be beneficial to consume just for that reason. However there are a few more reasons.

Some people say by smelling cinnamon it can stimulate brain activities. Now that is not that hard to do. You do even need to eat it to get effect. However the rest you do need to consume. Some other benefits are...

• Prevents Clotting in the blood stream from the oil it contains Cinnamaldehyde. 
• Anti-Microbial, which prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus in your systems.
• Helps Regulate your blood sugar.
• It also when consumed helps your brain function, increasing speed and memory retention.
• Improves your Colon.
• Prevents Health Disease
• Prevents Strokes
• Helps the digestive system
• Regulates Blood Pressuure
• Increases metabolism

Now this is just some of the benefits it will give you. To me this sounds like a pretty good choice to include in your daily diet. However if you do start to include it in your diet, it is suppose to be better to include the actual cinnamon sticks instead of the powder. This is because some of the vitamins are taken away when they go through the process of being turned into powder. While the stick itself should be whole and intake of all the nutrients.

Wi-Fi Block fact

Did you know it was illegal to block Wi-Fi in the U.S.



However if you hear this there is a catch to it.
It just says pretty much any commercial establishment is prohibited from blocking or disrupting personal use of Wi-Fi on there premises to force consumers to buy access to the Wi-Fi. That is it. However it also does say.... You cannot purchase, market or sell any type of jammer that interferes with Wi-Fi, Cell Phone, Public Communications. So If you wanted to purchase such item in U.S. Sorry but you are now considered a Criminal by the FCC

Here is actually the real article that was written out.

Enforcement Advisory No. 2015-01
WARNING: Wi-Fi Blocking is Prohibited
Persons or Businesses Causing Intentional Interference to Wi-Fi Hot Spots
Are Subject to Enforcement Action
In the 21
st
Century, Wi-Fi represents an essential on-ramp to the Internet. Personal Wi-Fi 
networks, or “hot spots,” are an important way that consumers connect to the Internet.  Willful 
or malicious interference with Wi-Fi hot spots is illegal.  Wi-Fi blocking violates Section 333 of 
the Communications Act, as amended.
1
  The Enforcement Bureau has seen a disturbing trend in
which hotels and other commercial establishments block wireless consumers from using their 
own personal Wi-Fi hot spots on the commercial establishment’s premises. As a result, the 
Bureau is protecting consumers by aggressively investigating and acting against such unlawful
intentional interference.
In 2014, the Enforcement Bureau conducted an investigation, culminating with a Consent 
Decree, into this kind of unlawful activity by the operator of a resort hotel and convention 
center.
2
In that case, Marriott International, Inc. deployed a Wi-Fi deauthentication protocol to 
deliberately block consumers who sought to connect to the Internet using their own personal 
Wi-Fi hot spots.  Marriott admitted that the customers it blocked did not pose a security threat

Marriott Int’l, Inc.; Marriott Hotel Servs, Inc., Order and Consent Decree, 29 FCC Rcd 11760 (Enf. Bur. 
2014).  Marriott and other members of the hotel and lodging industry filed a petition requesting guidance 
on this issue.  See Petition of Am. Hotel & Lodging Ass’n, Marriott Int’l, Inc., and Ryman Hospitality Props. 
for a Declaratory Ruling to Interpret 47 U.S.C. § 333, or, in the Alternative, for Rulemaking, RM-11737 (filed 
Aug. 25, 2014) (Petition).  Comment was sought on the Petition.  Consumer & Gov’t Affairs Bureau 
Reference Information Center Petition for Rulemaking Filed, Public Notice, RM 11737 (Nov. 19, 2014).
While the Enforcement Bureau recognizes that the Petition questions our position, the Bureau will 
continue to enforce the law as it understands it unless and until the Commission determines otherwise.

to the Marriott network and agreed to settle the investigation by paying a civil penalty of 
$600,000.
Following the settlement, the Enforcement Bureau has received several complaints that other 
commercial Wi-Fi network operators may be disrupting the legitimate operation of personal Wi-
Fi hot spots.  The Bureau is investigating such complaints and will take appropriate action 
against violators.
What is Prohibited?  No hotel, convention center, or other commercial establishment or the 
network operator providing services at such establishments may intentionally block or disrupt 
personal Wi-Fi hot spots on such premises, including as part of an effort to force consumers to 
purchase access to the property owner’s Wi-Fi network.  Such action is illegal and violations 
could lead to the assessment of substantial monetary penalties.

In addition, we reiterate that Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type 
of jamming equipment, including devices that interfere with Wi-Fi, cellular, or public safety 
communications.  Detailed information about the prohibition against jamming is available on 
the Commission’s website at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement.  
What Should You Do if You Suspect Wi-Fi Blocking?  If you have reason to believe your 
personal Wi-Fi hot spot has been blocked, you can file a complaint with the FCC.  To do so, you 
can visit www.fcc.gov/complaints or call 1-888-CALL-FCC.  If you contact the FCC, you are 
encouraged to provide as much detail as possible regarding the potential Wi-Fi blocking, 
including the date, time, location, and possible source.

1/29/1820

Did you know that on January 29 1820, King George III died? Well Today just happened to be the 29th exactly 195 years later. A little off from that 200 year mark but doesn't mean we should not get to know this king.

Things to know about this king!

• He was born on June 4th 1738.
• Born with the disease Porphyria. ( A disease that is passed through generations, symptoms normally include personality changes, different sorts of pains, sensitivity to light.)
• He also had a learning disability learning to read at 11.

Some may say that from the issues above, he was deemed more as a "inflexible tyrant". He did not really give any leeway with the rules he governed. However he also had someone helping him throughout the whole thing. He had "Lord North" as is minister, who he appointed in 1770. So maybe a combination of both?

Either way the result from his ruling had direct andk indirect influence on produces the Revolutionary war. 

In 1781 his army lost the battle of Yorktown and he agreed to the conditions. The "Treaty of Paris" recognized united states and ceded Florida to Spain.

More to know!

• In his early reign as King, he worked hard and long to end the "Seven Year's War".
• He had multiple ministers before "Lord North". It was not actually the kings idea to do the stamp act it was minister George Grenville in 1764. 
• He had 15 kids! His wife Charlotte of Mecklenburg, birthed them all.

There is more to know on him but most of the stuff is just about how he exactly created that spiral to the Revolutionary war. through his decisions as a ruler. Although he had diseases and had to point people to help make decisions, he will be the one people look at that says he caused this to happened. Since he was the king making it so he had the final say on all decisions even if he could not comprehend the outcome or what exactly was going into affect.

King George III Died on January 29th 1820 in the Windsor Castle. Having the second longest British reign roughly 60 years.

Turritopsis Nutricula

The Turritopsis Nutricula is a jelly fish. Founded in 1883 in the Mediterranean sea. Have been called many different names because of one special ability it posses. What is this ability? Well it is able to convert its form back to a "birth-state". Which allows it to, what some people would say... Live forever.

So the process it goes through to become "born" again. The mature cells convert into a form called polyps. (polyps, I tried to research them for more information but i mainly got the wrong kind. What I did seem to find is that they are egg shaped creatures that reproduce asexually. In this step of the process the cells are immature.) After the jellyfish starts this process, the mature cells it still contains start to die off and get absorbed into the polyps. So pretty much it starts eating itself. After that process the polyp produces a Medusa. (Medusa is a free-swimming coelenterate.) So in simplified terms. The jellyfish at a mature age (ONLY a mature age. The jellyfish cannot do this without being mature.) turns into a earlier form of itself and devours itself. Then converts back into a jellyfish form.
The process known as "transdifferentiation"

So does it die?

Yes, indeed it does die. This is because as i mentioned above the process to do all that it needs to be a mature jellyfish. Which means anything but an attacker could get to it. However it does not really need to much food while mature. Since it can also use the process to avoid hunger. I am assuming just because it will consume itself. No one explained that to well.

Why have you not seen one?

Well these jelly fish only grow up to 5 millimeters, which is not very big at all. Although they are not endangered they are indeed a "rare creature". There population is said to be growing since they have this ability to cheat death.

How many tentacles?

These jellyfish will get tentacles that are roughly 1 millimeter long and an average 90 per adult jelly fish.

Reproduction?

The reproduction they do is the same that any jelly fish would do. So this special ability that they have does not interfere with that.

For sale?

For some reason one of the websites I went to said they are sold in Japan. However rare to catch one for sale, they are not illegal to own or sell. So i guess if you really wanted one, you could go and hunt for a vendor in japan.

Does it Sting?

Well it does indeed still sting, it is still a jellyfish with stingers. So do not go poking them if you manage to find one.

As I mentioned in this blog before this post. I do not know all this information. I had to research it. So here is my work cited

Slamming doors?

Alright, since it is popular trend, I will do my own life hack. I used to have a problem with doors slamming very loudly, normally with the wind coming from open window. so to reduce the noise to almost zero, I tied a piece of old shoestring to the doorknob around both sides and onto the locking part itself. it cushions the sound and still locks and shuts. Can toss the door and it will still be nice sounding.

May not be the prettiest solution for this, but it works for me.

Home Page Post

This blog will consist of information. Not just any information.... I'm just messing. It is going to be full of any information I can get my hands on. Maybe it will be a easier way for you to search things, or even learn a few things every day with me. I am not claiming to know everything I post, but I will research a topic or just post a random fact. Knowledge is power and everyone loves a person who knows things... even if its stupid facts. As long as that person is not acting like a know it all.

The  FIRST random fact for you guys is.....

When a male bee reaches and orgasm, its testicles will explode and the bee eventually dies. Happy ending?
