Which of the following is not an effective way to find out about a character?
a. How they look
b. How others react to them
c. How the stars were positioned when they were born
d. How they act

Answer:

I think C. It kind of reminds me of how people say "Oh they must act mean because they are a taurus!" Or how, "They must be really petty because they are a Leo." Or that kind of stuff. But that doesn't really define a person.

Read the text The History of Ice Cream:

(1) I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Who doesn't love a nice, cold scoop of ice cream on a warm day? For thousands of years, ice cream has been a decadent dessert loved by most people around the world.

(2) There is some argument about who first invented ice cream. Some believe that ice cream was invented by the Chinese people anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 years ago. They created a recipe of frozen milk and rice that was served as a dessert. Persia has also been credited with first serving frozen desserts. Over 2,000 years ago, the wealthy people of Persia enjoyed shaved ice from the mountains, covered with grape juice. They later learned to freeze rosewater and add different fruit toppings. These desserts were considered delicacies that only the richest families could experience. About 1,000 years after this, there is evidence that suggested Nero, the Roman Emperor, also enjoyed frozen treats and demanded that a constant supply of ice from the mountains be available to him. He liked to add honey to the top of his dessert.

(3) Ice cream as we know it can be traced back to the 9th century in Arab cities, such as Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo. Near the end of the 13th century, Marco Polo returned to Italy after his travels through China with news of a frozen creamed dessert. In Europe, ice cream could only be found in Italy. Then, in 1533, Italian noblewoman Catherine de'Medici of Italy married Henry II of France. As Queen, Catherine introduced ice cream to France. Soon, the popularity of the dessert spread across all of Europe.

(4) The first recorded account of ice cream in the United States was in 1744. In a written letter, a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen detailed a delicious frozen dessert featuring strawberries and milk. The invention of electricity and manufacturing meant that ice cream could be made and kept much more easily, and the popularity of the frozen treat grew quickly across the country.

(5) To start, ice cream was served in a dish. It wasn't until the late 19th century that the ice cream cone made its first appearance. As with ice cream itself, there has always been some controversy over who the true inventor of the ice cream cone was. It is claimed that in 1896, a man by the name of Italo Marchiony invented the ice cream cone in New York City. He was granted a patent for this cup-shaped invention in 1903. Then, in 1904, ice cream was served in a true conical-shaped cone by Ernest Hamwi at the St. Louis World Fair. Whoever the true inventor was, the discovery caught on, and by 1924, Americans were eating over 200 million ice cream cones a year!

Read the text "How Ice Cream Is Made":

Ice cream is a frozen blend of sweetened cream and air with added flavoring. This is how it is made commercially.

Necessary Ingredients:

Dairy products, including milk, cream, and butter fat

Sugar

Eggs

Flavoring

Approved additives to prevent ice crystals during production process

Production Steps:

Step 1: To start, the ingredients are carefully measured and then combined together. The dairy ingredients, solids, and additives are blended well to ensure the liquid and dry components are completely mixed.

Step 2: Next, the mix is pasteurized. This means it is heated to high temperatures to remove any bacteria which could be found in the raw ingredients. Pasteurization can occur at 155°F for 30 minutes or 175°F for 25 seconds. The temperatures used to pasteurize ice cream need to be higher than those used for milk because the mixture includes high-fat dairy sources, sweeteners, and egg yolks.

Step 3: Following pasteurization, the ice cream mix is homogenized. This occurs when the fat globules in the cream are broken down into smaller parts through vigorous mixing. Once homogenized, the ice cream should be very smooth and uniform, meaning free of bubbles. Now the ice cream will be easier to whip and will not melt as fast.

Step 4: The next step is to let the ice cream mixture stand for at least four hours. During this time, the fat cools and forms crystals.

Step 5: A special barrel freezer is then used to gradually freeze the ice cream. The machine also pumps clean air into the mix. This keeps the ice cream soft and allows it to absorb the different flavorings. Without the air, the mixture would become as hard as an ice cube.

Step 6: During freezing, flavoring can be added. Ice cream flavors have moved on from plain vanilla and chocolate to include hundreds of combinations using fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, and other baked goods.

Step 7: Finally, the ice cream is packaged and put into a blast freezer where the temperature is between -22 to -40 Fahrenheit.

Happy holidays ! [ New years is soon :3 ]

Imagine a merchant has 126 bottles of wine in her inventory. She wants to sell 31 of them to a customer. Using a counting board, how would she calculate the number of bottles she will have left in her inventory if she makes this sale?

A
The merchant begins with 157 pebbles on the right side of the counting board. 31 pebbles are moved to the left side from the right side. The total number of pebbles remaining on the right side is the number of bottles she will have in her inventory if she makes the sale.

B
The merchant begins with 95 pebbles on the left side of the counting board. 31 pebbles are added to the left side of the counting board. The total number of pebbles on the left side is the number of bottles she will have in her inventory if she makes the sale.

C
The merchant begins with 126 pebbles on the left side of the counting board. 31 pebbles are moved from the left side to the right side. The total number of pebbles remaining on the left side is the number of bottles she will have in her inventory if she makes the sale.

D
The merchant begins with 126 pebbles on the right side of the counting board. 31 pebbles are moved to the left side from the right side. The total number of pebbles remaining on the right side is the number of bottles she will have in her inventory if she makes the sale.

I recently surveyed seventh graders at Madison Middle School to determine how they used their cell phones. My goal was to determine which daily activities were the most popular. Out of 151 seventh graders in our school, 93 of them use smart phones. 57 of those students agreed to track their cell phones usage in a journal for three days. I compared journal statistics and gathered the following data.


Data revealed that students spent 35 percent of their phone time playing games and using apps. These included games played alone and against friends. It also includes social media apps. Students spend 21 percent of their time texting and 20 percent of their time listening to music. Music included songs downloaded on their phones and music that streamed from other sources.14 percent of cell phone time was spent browsing the Internet while 9 percent of the time was spent using the phone to take photographs. Most ironically, students reported spending only 1 percent of their time using cell phones to make actual phone calls.

The text and the graphic reflect the same student survey. Which information is found in both the text and the graphic? (AKA Screen Shot Below)

1.Data representing the types of apps, games, and music that students used

2.Data representing the name of the middle school and grade level of the participants

3.An explanation of how the survey was conducted and the data was gathered

4.An explanation about the total number of students who participated in the survey

It is March 15, in the year 2514. The people of former New York are in desperate circumstances. They are being overrun, and they are losing hope. The banners proclaiming a Free the Real NYC lie in the gutters, trampled by terrified and panicked citizens. Two teens– or kidz, as they are called now– are on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walk in the shadows to avoid detection, they both trip on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface are a series of scratched-out words. The only words they can make out are, "he will prevail." They drag the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twist it open. The glow from their flashlights reveals the contents of the cylinder. With gasps of relief, they look at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.
Two teens were coming over from a secret meeting. They were Jess and Elijah they were worried about what would happen to them if they got caught at night especially since they've been going to secret meetings to save NYC. They were walking home when they came across a surface with words. The words read ''he will prevail'', They wondered who the message was talking about. Beside that message was a huge titanium tube. They dragged it with them into a secluded tunnel and opened it. They opened the cylinder and found contents in it that brought them hope to saving New York. They had hope. In the cylinder was a bunch of things to help them. There was a list of steps and a message from anonymous telling them that he knew what would happen and made that cylinder to help whoever found it to save the city.
On March 15, 2014, the residents of New York City buried a time capsule. Their hope was that on March 15, 2114, it would be opened and the future residents of NYC would see what life was like 100 years in the past.
Locked away in the titanium cylinder were important artifacts from the present day. The objects were chosen by citizens from all walks of life and professions: librarians, teens, computer programmers, medical professionals, research scientists, gardeners, biologists, and more.
Etched onto the surface of the time capsule were the words of a famous author, William Faulkner: "I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail .....because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance."
The capsule was buried with much hope for the future.
Sadly, things didn’t turn out as they had hoped.
By March 15, 2514, New York had become a desperate place. Something big had changed. The city was in near ruins. Citizens were terrified.
Two teens, as they were called now – were on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walked in the shadows to avoid detection, they tripped on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface were a series of scratched-out words. The only words they could make out were, "He will prevail."
The kidz dragged the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twisted it open. The glow from their flashlights revealed what was inside. With gasps of relief, they looked at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years. It was an article from 2505! They discovered that it was written about how the leader of the formerly NYC was planning to build a machine that could wipe out the entire city! They rushed back to the secret base of the Free the Real NYC resistance. They put the container on the table. Now that it was in better lighting, they could read the rest of the etchings. They read ψοφώ, Greek for "I'm dying." They learn that the etching was written by the founder of the resistance, Henry Gihigal. He wrote it when the leader of the Cultists, Tabea Thomas, was torturing him with methods unheard of. He wrote the "He will prevail" section speaking of the resistance. The "ψοφώ" was to tell the resistance to choose a new leader. They started planning their attack to make sure that the machine was destroyed.

Passage
Maya disliked the desert because she was afraid of snakes. She had only agreed to go hiking because her friend Melissa had guaranteed they wouldn't come across any snakes. But even with her friend's promises, instead of enjoying the scenery, Maya was scanning the desert floor for any sign of movement.

"Maya, quit staring at the ground and look at this awesome view," said Melissa, thinking that Maya was being a baby and there was nothing to worry about. Maya knew that Melissa was right, so she tried to relax and enjoy their hike.

Deep in conversation, neither girl heard the rattle of the snake hidden on the trail up ahead.

It's not the kind of treasure he expected it to be.
It will be more valuable than finding gold or silver.
It will be carefully hidden and buried underground
It requires everyday equipment in order to locate it

Well, it's only 10 more hours until my father and I leave for our treasure hunt. Every Saturday morning for as long as I can remember I have seen him leave, always by himself, to look for treasure. I have always longed to go with him, and he's always told me that someday I would get the chance. I was so excited when he told me I would finally have my chance that I was bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball and springing from one place to the next the rest of the day. It will be carefully hidden and buried underground It requires everyday equipment in order to locate it.
