What is a confounding variable


          A confounding variable is a variable that correlates with both dependent and independent variable.
Example: For example if there is a group of are scientists studying smoking and deaths in America they would see how many people have died from consuming too much cigarettes and they would see the statistical relationships between people smoking and deaths in the united states. They would see if people who smoke in United States increase the rate of deaths in a year for the United States. 

About Cabbage


Cabbage is a healthy vegetable that helps your digestion and increases your antibodies. It can also speed up the curing of ulcer. It also reduces risk of eye cataract, colon, and stomach and lung cancer. It reduces the risk of heart problems. It gives you plenty of vitamin A, B, C and E. Also includes minerals and fibers. It’s also, really good for people suffering from anemia. Eating it raw will give lots of vitamin C and E. But if you cook it, it loses a lot of its nutritional values. Cabbage has a lot of magnesium, calcium, sulfur and iron.

            People eat cabbage because they know it’s healthy for them and it has a little taste in it. They also eat it because; cabbage is to show prosperity for the new years in America. Also it’s to bring money to the New Year. There are different theories on why people eat cabbage which is either to bring good luck, bring money or for anything else.  

Difference between evaporate, dissolve and granulated


            The difference between evaporation, dissolve and granulated is that each mean something different in their own way. Evaporate is when a type of liquid (for example water) gets or absorbs too much heat and turns into a gas (for water; water vapor). Granulated is when something (for example sugar) is broken down into small chunks and/or pieces (like taking a sugar cube and smashing it with a heavy object). Dissolve means (for a solid) to be put in a liquid (like water) to form a solution. In other words, to be melted and/or be put into really small pieces until not visible from the human eye or from microscopic view.  

Leukemia, osteoporosis and Bursitis


Leukemia: The cause of most human leukemia is unknown. It is a kind of cancer in which weird white blood cells multiply in an uncontrolled manner. They interfere with the production of normal white blood cells. Leukemia also, affects the production of red blood cells.

Bursitis: Bursitis is a disorder that causes pain in the body's joints. It commonly affects the shoulder and hip joints. It is caused by an inflammation of the bursa, small bags filled with fluid that act as lubricating surfaces for muscles to move over bones. This inflammation usually results from over activity of an arm or leg. Symptoms include; stiffness, swelling, warmth, red arm/s and it hurts when you move the join that is being affected.

Osteoporosis; Osteoporosis is a disease when the bone has tissue loss. In osteoporosis, the affected bone loses calcium, becomes thinner, and might disappear.  

Christopher Columbus discovering of America (New World)


Christopher Columbus was going to go to Asia sailing west. Also that Christopher Columbus is Italian. But he did not get there right away. To go he had to gave money which is a certain amount he didn’t have. He begged all king a kings for about 6 years until the king and queen of Spain funded him with the money. Other kings and queens thought that the world was flat. They thought that if u passes the horizon that you would fall out of earth. But the king and queen of Spain thought differently. They thought that if it really worked that they would be richer for making that journey possible. So that’s what they exactly did. They funded Christopher Columbus is group with a sufficient amount of money so they can make their journey. Christopher wanted to sail to the west to Asia to try to invent something new. Also because they would have to travel by land to get to Asia through the Silk Road. They would often be attacked by robbers who would steal their silk. Plus it also took them a very long time to get the silk and spices because they would have to go over mountains and go around little rivers and they would travel by horse (only way to travel in those days).  They started sailing in August of 1492. The crew had the advantage of Christopher Columbus because he learned to sail at the age 14. He went on the journey with 87 crew members on board. They had gone to “Asia” with 3 ships. The names of the three ships were Santa Maria, La Nina and Pinta. Christopher was in the ship Santa Maria. As they went along they bumped in to land which Christopher thought was Asia. But it was really the West Indies (Caribbean). The first island he ran into in the Caribbean was the Bahamas. He got their within 29 days (a month) of sailing. Once he was there he found gold and took it to take it back to the Europeans. He also kidnapped some Native Americans to bring them back to Europe. He returns to Spain in the year 1943 with the gold, Native Americans and exotic plants. Once the king and queen of Spain saw what he had discovered did, they continued to fund him. When Christopher was back everybody thought he was a hero. So after that the exploration of the 3g’s started existing. The three G’s where, God, Gold, glory. For the God part the people of Europe wanted to teach the Native Americans the way of the God. They wanted to force them to be catholic.                                                             

How the Spanish got their people to go to the 'New World'

Spain made ​​the Spanish fence to the thirteen American colonies that were offered a major concession was called encomienda. The people who did not have much land in Europe were the 13 colonies to get more land. The hand that did work were the Native Americans. The responsibilities of the owners of the parcels was to teach Christianityand pay a fair wage for natives. Natives who did labor now were slaves because they were treated very badly and Native Americans were treated very cruel and they workedand worked until dark. They were treated almost the same as or treated as a slave. 

The 4 different social classes of New Spain


The first and highest class is peninsular. Important role of a Peninsular is being part of the government. Also is for them to hold important churches in New Spain. The third important role of a peninsular is to own land and colonize all over New Spain. They also have pure Spanish blood. Peninsular are colonists from Spain. The next in the list of social classes has pure Spanish blood except, they were born in New Spain. Their parents are from Spain and they were born in New Spain. That class is called Criollo. One role that Criollo`s had was that they owned most land and mines. Another important role they had is related to the first one. They would sell a lot of land to the peninsular. The last role that they have is, they don’t have much power but they use slaves to take care of the land. The next on the list is called Mestizo. The roles that they use to be hard workers and now since Spain rules, they are not hard workers. Now they work a little and are not so wealthy. Also, they can never take part of the government. Mestizos are part Spanish and part native (Aztec). They also own a small not so wealthy shop were people don’t really go to. The last on the list of social classes are, Malatto. Malatto work in the Mestizo shops and are very poor. Later on their job will be as slaves. Their origin is, part Spanish and part African. They were very low in the class so, later on in history, all Mallatos become slaves.                  

English making their way into the new world

The English began to make their way to the new world to establish colonies by many different ways. One thing between those things is that the English were really competitive with the Spanish to control territories in the new world. Both of the countries had naval battles with each other. In the sixteen-hundreds England comes to the new world and settles there. When England defeated Spain in a naval battle, they rapidly started to populate. A place where they made a settlement was in the east of Virginia. This settlement was called, Roanoke. This was a town that wasn’t so densely populated but, the English started get more people into it. This was England`s first attempt to make a permanent colony. Roanoke was established by the English in fifteen-eighty-seven. This colony was supplied once a year which was a bad idea since people could get starved easily. But when they were going to give food, England got in a naval fight with Spain. They got to distracted in the fight that, they forgot to bring food and supplies to Roanoke for three years. Once they come back from the fight, they found nothing in the whole town. Only a piece of log that had a man’s skull on it the said Croaton. They also found a corpse with crosses. It all looked very disappointing and dark. Instead of reporting what they saw, the English erased the evidence. The English erased the evidence so the people in England wouldn’t stop from settling there. There are three theories to what could have happen. The first is that, they thought Spanish conquistadores went there and killed their people. The second theory is that the English settlers that lived there could have blended in with the natives. The last theory is that the town people felt so hungry so then decided to leave on ships and then those ships sank. The English cover up the corpses left behind and remodel so it looks much better. Know since they covered it up, more people want to go (settlers want to go) so know they can make a good colony.                 

Bad Milk?


Many scientists have studied milk and said that we absorb a lot of calcium from it but modern scientists have discovered that, that was a myth. They discovered that milk doesn’t boost up the calcium that goes into your bones but, it takes away calcium from your bones which make it dangerous to consume milk a lot. We barely absorb calcium from the milk; even dough scientist’s milk is good for your bones. We mostly don’t absorb the milk is nutrients if its pasteurized milk.
            Here’s how it does the opposite, it acidifies (turns into liquid) the body ph (potential hydrogen) which will make a biological correction. Calcium is an excellent acid controller and the most storage of calcium in the body is in the bones. So since the calcium is stored in the bones and it is used to control our acid, the calcium will be pulled out of the bones and exit through the urine. This all leads to a decrease in calcium for the bones since all of the bones calcium storage is being pulled out by acid so it could be neutralized.
