reaction in organic chemistry that involves a simultaneous 3 pi bond shift is Diels-Alder cycloaddition, where a conjugated diene and an alkene with an electron withdrawing group (a dienophile) will react to form two carbon-carbon single bonds at the expense of the one carbon-carbon multiple bond to most often form a 6 membered ring adduct (Ketcha, 106). A conjugated diene is a hydrocarbon the contains two carbon-carbon double bonds and a dienophile also means “diene-loving” (Ketcha, 106).…

The Usage of Steroids Within the NFL and the MLB Steroids and performance enhancement drugs, PEDS, have been banned in the National Football League and in Major League Baseball since the early 1980’s and readjusted in the early 2000’s (Kelley). Players’ know about the stipulations of which exact drugs are allowed and which are banned within their league, but still ten NFL players were banned within the 2015 season for the use of PEDS (Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports Fast Facts).…

Bordner, S. S. (2015). Call ‘Em as they are: What’s wrong with blown calls and what to do about them. Journal of The Philosophy of Sport, 42(1), 101-120. Paragraph 1 – summarize the author(s) points The author of the article argues that referees has too much influence on the results of the game. One of the facts supporting this statement is that referees while officiating baseball games are only 86% correct in calling strikes. Also, the author explains that there is no significant difference…

A covalent chemical bond is a link that contains electrons which are shared between two atoms. 9. A polar bond is where the electrons forming the bond are not distributed equally between the two atoms of the bond. A nonpolar bond shares a pair of electrons with each other between two atoms of the bond. Water is polar because it has 18 electrons and it only holds 16 so there are 2 left which makes it unevenly…

Baseball is known as a regional game; however, negotiating the national broadcast rights for the MLB is an important step in providing audiences around the country with high quality baseball matchups throughout the season. The MLB has had tremendous success with their past partnerships with CBS and NBC. However, both networks have been unwilling to commit to broadcasting games throughout the week. The main purpose of this deal is to establish a partnership that will allow the MLB to showcase…

young kids use MLB players as their role models. For example, Barry Bonds (Barrios) will always be linked to steroid use. Many young athletes may be more prone to use steroids to get an advantage because their role model…

players such as Mike Piazza, Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire are just some of the names that used PEDs. Other notable players that have taken PEDS consist of Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, and Sammy Sosa. These substances have put a stain on baseball. There's a reason there is a era that is called the "steroid era" I call Barry Bonds "The Fake Dinger King" because of the fact that he used those substances. If you look at him spanning from his years with the Pittsburg Pirates to the San…

Which is Best: 1099 Independent Contractor or W2 Wages It's a common conundrum; which is best 1099 contractor or being a W2 employee. Many business give their employees an opportunity to make this decision for themselves. If you ever find yourself in this situation, be sure to consider the following information. Taxes The first thing you should look at is the taxes you will be asked to pay. As a 1099 Independent Contractor, you will be forced to pay both Social Security and Medicare. This comes…

Macromolecules are large molecules that are composed of smaller units. The four major macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbon is the primary component of the four macromolecules. Carbon's molecular structure allows it to bond in many different ways and with many different elements. A Monomer is an atom or small molecule that may bind chemically to other monomers to form a Polymer Different monomers make up a polymer. Polymers combine to make a molecule, and…

Dr. Andrzeij Sygula Research Dr. Sygula research is on polycyclic hydrocarbons called buckybowls. Due to their non-planarity, these moleules resemble fragments of fullerene, hence the name buckybowl. The smallest buckybowl to date is coronnulene, a non-planar hydrocarbon made up of five overlapping 1, 3-cyclohexadiene rings figure 1. The synthesis of coronnulene in lab is very challenging primarily because of the stress associated with the non-plannar molecule. Dr. Sygula’s lab accidentally came…
