Why ice cream is so yummy
Ice cream tastes good because it contains a good amount of fat and flavorings. Fat on its own tastes pretty bland and rotten, but did you know fats actually help to carry flavor molecules? So, the chemicals that make the taste of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry dissolve best in fats.
How ice cream is made
In its most basic form, ice cream is a mixture of cream and/or milk, sugar and most times eggs, that is frozen while being stirred to create a frozen creamy food.

Drawing a Rose
Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a rose? You know, a cool one that looks real? Not the ones that are easy to draw rose buds, but a real, live, easy rose drawing that you can show off to people and say, “Look, guys, I drew this.” Well, then, if that applies to you, then you should follow along on this tutorial about how to draw a really cool rose. Just follow along with the steps, and if you don't understand the descriptions, ( which you probably won't, since they sound very confusing and a visual is easier) just look at the picture at the bottom with the number that matches the step. Good luck! (P.S: Some of the pictures are two steps combined.)
Watch the time lapse video of me drawing the rose, so you can see how it can turns out!

3. Put two short lines curving around the petal, and you have your rosebud! Now for the rest.
4. Draw two lines under the two short ends of the bud, overlapping the lines you drew in step 3. It will make it look more realistic.
5. Add two big, gracefully curving petals, about the same size, meeting each other in the middle of the center of the rose, and add two more short lines to the far right of one of the petals, and to the far left of the other. Then it will look like another rosebud, but bigger. You're making progress! 6. Add more petals to the outside of the bigger rosebud. Don't forget the bending overlapping line to the right! The other petals are not completely round and smooth, though. Some are pointy and misshaped, others are gently curving. They all have grooves and notches on the edge. It will not look natural if there are no flaws.
7. Gradually add more and more petals. Their size increases as the rings of petals grow farther and farther away from the original center, the rosebud.
8. After adding all the petals, you can add leaves to the rose, if you want to. They’re pointy and short, and you should add them to the bottom of the rose, jutting out of the bottom most petal. And unless you want to shade, TADA! You've drawn a rose! Congratulations! Give yourself a pat on the back. Now you can go outside and brag to your friends and say, “Look, guys, I drew this!” 9. If you want, you can shade the rose. It looks hard, but it's actually not. You just have to imagine a rose in real life. Where would the shadows be? The answer is under the petals. Under each petal, line it with a dark line of pencil, resembling a shadow. If you want to be even more realistic, color the whole thing in light gray pencil, then erase the bottom of the petal, so the light is on the bottom, and the shadows are on top.

Who is the only founding father
who was not a president?
By Rhett K.
You guessed it! Alexander Hamilton was born on Saturday January, 11, 1755 in Charlestown, Nevis to James Hamilton and Rachel Faucette who were not married at the time and had no money. He had a brother James who was born in 1753. He and his father never saw each other again after they moved to St.Croix where the slavery ratio was 1 white to 12 blacks. He was bilingual in French and English. The first known letter written by Hamilton was on Monday November 11, 1776. His first major job was directing an export/import company and he started writing poetry in 1771.

Life in the caribbean
New beginningIn October of 1772, Hamilton left St. Croix for New York, and when he arrived he said that he had no desire to return to the caribbean. Hamilton to try King's College in New York City, which later changed its name to Columbia University. In 1774, New York was caught up in the final desperate moments before the start of the Revolutionary War. Debates and speeches were common, as were arguing both for and against resistance to the British king. The first Continental Congress in Philadelphia convened to discuss economic sanctions against Great Britain in 1774 to force Parliament to listen.
Life during the revolutionary war
During March of 1776, Hamilton had been commissioned a captain in the Continental army and been given command of an artillery company of nearly 100 men. As a Revolutionary war captain, Hamilton demonstrated superior command of relating to logistical matters. His men were always well fed and well paid, his guns were always properly maintained, and his supplies never ran low. Hamilton’s company served as part of the attacking force at the Battle of Princeton in January of 1777.Hamilton's valor and of organization brought him to the attention of General George Washington. Days after the Battle of Princeton, Washington invited Hamilton to become one of his aides. Hamilton gladly accepted the offer, and became lieutenant-colonel at the age of twenty-one. His primary duties included drafting letters for the General addressed to the government and congressional supporter, he also coordinated supplies and ammunitions movements. Washington himself grew fond of the young lieutenant- colonel, who he came to rely on heavily. Hamilton did not participate in any military engagements while on
Family
Upon retiring from military life, Hamilton returned to Albany, New York. In January of 1782, Hamilton's wife Eliza gave birth to their first son, Philip who died protecting his father's legacy on Tuesday November 24, 1801. The couple had eight children altogether, two girls and six boys. There names are in order from youngest to oldest; Eliza Hamilton Holly, John Church Hamilton, Angelica Hamilton, James Alexander Hamilton, William S. Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton jr. and Philip Hamilton.
Politics
He finished up his studies after the Revolutionary War at King's College (Columbia). Farmers were hit particularly hard by the national economic crisis, although poverty was everywhere. The troubles came to a climax;;; In 1786;;;. When Daniel Shays of western Massachusetts led a revolt of farmers to protest the state's high taxes, which had been increased to unreal heights in order to pay back debts. Rumors quickly spread that a large army of troops was ready to march, but Shay's Rebellion, as it came to be known, was not nearly that large. Nevertheless, the uprising prompted many in the government to call for reform. Several states, agreed to meet in Annapolis, Maryland to discuss possible amendments to some areas of the Articles of Confederation. The conference was to be held in September of 1786.
Hamilton rushed home to New York to begin his campaign to convince the people of New York to ratify the Constitution. This task was the most difficult of the entire process, because citizens feared that a strong national government would violate the freedom they had recently won from Great Britain. New Yorkers were essentially convinced that any new and stronger national government would eliminate their liberty.
To combat the Anti-Federalists in his home state, Hamilton decided to write a series of essays to convince the people that the Constitution was essential to their liberty. Hamilton worked with John Jay and James Madison to assist him in writing the essays, which were eventually published as pamphlets and magazine articles throughout the United States. On the average, four essays were published each week, and these became collectively known as the Federalist Papers. All three authors used the pseudonym Publius to make it seem as if a single common man had written all the essays. Historians therefore do not know exactly how many essays Hamilton wrote, but from the tone of the essays, it is believed that he authored fifty-two on his own, and may have assisted in writing at least fifteen others. Citizens elected Hamilton to represent them in the national congress.

Work as the Secretary of Treasury for George Washington
Toward the end of 1788, New Yorkers elected Alexander Hamilton to represent them in the national Congress once again. So Hamilton moved his family from New York to the capitol in Philadelphia. This particular Congress was the last to ever meet under the authority of the Articles of Confederation, and there was little for Hamilton to do in the area of national legislation. So, Hamilton focused his attention on convincing General George Washington to accept the nomination to become the first President of the United States under the Constitution. Washington accepted, but Hamilton was not satisfied because he feared that another candidate might try and campaign against Washington. To prevent this from happening, Hamilton waged a counter- campaign by asking to his political friends and colleagues to ask their representatives in the Electoral College to vote for Washington. Hamilton's fears, however, proved to be unfounded. In April 1789, the Electors voted for Washington to be the first President, with Hamilton's political foe John Adams as his Vice President.
President Washington looked to people he knew and trusted to fill his cabinet. Washington named Thomas Jefferson as his Secretary of State, Henry Knox as his Secretary of War, and Hamilton as his Secretary of the Treasury. Although Hamilton came to be known as the most important Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. history, he spent only five years as the Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton began his tenure as Secretary of the Treasury by drafting a report on the future of American economic stability entitled Report on the Public Credit. This was the first of two such reports; the second was published just before Hamilton resigned from the cabinet in 1795. This first report outlined Hamilton's recommendation to the President and to Congress concerning the best methods to eliminate the national debt. By the time the Constitution came into effect in 1792, the United States had borrowed nearly forty million dollars from other countries and from individual speculators, and in addition to this principal, owed an additional fifteen million in interest. During the early years, some states had paid off their debts, but the majority of them had not. This accumulation of debt was a huge problem for the new nation.
Hamilton's Final years and DuelAlthough Hamilton's life had been filled with successes, the year 1797 marked a turning point in his life. From this point on until his death, Hamilton's life was being with scandal and political frustrations. His first attack struck in 1797, when James Monroe, denounced Hamilton as an adulterer. Monroe accused Hamilton of having an affair in 1791 and 1792 with Maria Reynolds while Hamilton's own wife was away in Philadelphia with their children, and of trying to bribe Reynolds's husband into keeping the affair quiet. Hamilton did, in fact, bribe James Reynolds, but he argued that the money he paid came out of his own pocket, and not out of the government's purse. Monroe had earlier pledged to keep quiet about the affair, but chose for various reasons that are unknown, to break his pledge in 1797. Hamilton wrote a public statement admitting his involvement in the affair, but continued to deny that he had used government funds to pay the bribe. Historians have since determined that James Reynolds had actually encouraged his wife to se hang out with Hamilton so that the family could make Hamilton purchase their silence. Hamilton's public humiliation, however, did not hamper him from working. Hamilton's primary duties as Washington's executive officer were to organize the troops and prepare for war with France.
In December of 1787 George Washington died. Hamilton had always admired Washington as a general and friend, and the news of Washington's death stunned Hamilton. Without an enemy to fight or general to follow, Hamilton resigned his commission and returned to his law office in New York City.
Nor was Hamilton out of touch with the political scene, although his involvement in national and state politics worked to his disadvantage and disappointment. As the election of 1800 drew nearer, Hamilton found against all three of the presidential candidates. He disliked both Adams and Thomas Jefferson from his earlier political career, but he was especially opposed to Aaron Burr, a former lawyer from New York for various reasons. Hamilton encouraged Federalists throughout the country to abandon their candidate, John Adams, and vote for Charles Pinckney, who had once served Washington as a . Hamilton's efforts against Adams worked the the advantage of the other two candidates, and both Adams and Pinckney were easily defeated, leaving Jefferson and Burr with an identical number of votes. Under the Constitution at this time, one of these remaining candidates was bound to become President and the other Vice President, while both candidates from Hamilton's own party were eliminated from holding either office.
Jefferson became the third president of the United States, and Hamilton's misfortune continued. In November of 1801, Hamilton's eldest son Philip was shot to death in a duel when he was nineteen. Philip had agreed to the duel after arguing with a classmate at Columbia University about the virtues of his father versus the virtues of Aaron Burr. Philip's death deeply shook his parents, and drove Hamilton's eldest daughter to insanity. When Mrs. Hamilton gave birth to another son, their sixth, they named him Philip the other Philip. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr turned to New York's upcoming gubernatorial election to make his next political mark. Under Jefferson, Burr had little actual power, and decided that his career would best be served by becoming Governor of New York. This appalled Hamilton, not only because of his personal opinions but also because he uncovered a plot by some of the Federalists in the northern states to use Burr as their helper to help them secede from the Union. To ensure that Burr would not be elected, Hamilton published a series of essays denouncing Burr. These essays had little effect due to Hamilton's waning influence in the Federalist Party, but Burr was defeated a strong Republican campaign.
Burr's defeat could not be attributed to Hamilton, but Burr blamed him nonetheless, and challenged Hamilton to a duel. Hamilton accepted Burr's challenge, although he privately confessed that he did not intend to kill his rival. The two men and their seconds met in New Jersey at seven in the morning on Wednesday, July 11, 1804. Hamilton missed Burr, but Burr's bullet hit and fatally wounded Hamilton. Hamilton was brought back to New York. He died on Thursday, July 12, 1804. He was only forty-seven years old.

The Traditions of Origami
When the art form of origami was created, paper was rare and expensive that ONLY WEALTHY PEOPLE COULD AFFORD IT. NOW, PAPER IS accessible TO EVERYONE. Paper was folded into interesting shapes for ceremonial occasions such as weddings. Serrated strips of white paper were used to mark sacred objects, a custom which can still be seen in every shrine to this day.
