Well, Dodger fans, over a week ago we received the worst possible news in the history of all horrible news. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of hyperbole, but it sure feels legit. Clayton Kershaw heading to the 15-Day DL for a mildly herniated disc in his lower back. I know, I know… group hug. He was joined a day or so later by Joc Pederson, who made a spectacular, albeit shoulder crushing catch into the wall, which in turn sent him to the 15-Day DL with a sprained right AC joint. They joined a plethora…

Some of these people might say that steroids can kill the users. Well that is true it is only when someone highly overdoses on them. Which won't happen if there are certain doctors available to do the job(Perez,n.d) Just look at Barry Bonds he is one of the best players known to man but he just happened to be on steroids. Did he die of overdose?, No he did not overdose because he probably hired someone to get the right amount for him. Kevin Williams won the defensive player of the year…

Carbohydrates have the following basic composition. They are molecular compounds made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons 3, 4, 5, 6, a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose respectively. Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units; examples are maltose and sucrose. A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers…

The structure of a molecule affects how it is able to bond with other molecules and how effective these bonds are. The structure of the molecule itself is held together by the intramolecular forces, which are the internal forces of a molecule, such as the attraction and repulsion of electrons to the protons in the nucleus. The external forces on a molecule, which are called the intermolecular forces, such as electronegativity, help to determine the boiling and melting points of each element.…

Thermodynamic reactions occur when there is a difference of energy during a chemical reaction. There are two types; Firstly, Exothermic reactions; This is when the initial reactants use less energy to break their existing bonds, than what energy was required to make the new bonds. The extra heat is spreads out into the surroundings (see above diagram A) An experiment was carried out using copper (II) sulphate and magnesium powder. Mg + CuSO4  MgSO4 + Cu The temperature of the copper (II)…

Humans have an inner evil that has always been within and can never be fully removed.

career home runs, he is close, as he is in forth all time, and still is playing. Most likely he will not catch him as the career leader with an asterisk next to it. Even though his achievements are not quite as amazing his case is a bigger than Barry Bonds because of the era he is living in. Camera are everywhere following his every move. Social media is huge and everyone can get information very quickly. In this age all celebrities are in a spotlight and people are watching everything they do.…

bonding 5.What are all the types of chemical bonds? Ionic, Covalent, and Metallic bonding. 6.What do you call an element that has different forms . Isotopes 7.Which type of bonding is the “strongest”? Ionic bonding 8.True or False: Ionic bonds are formed from metal and neutral atoms. 9.True or False: Covalent bonds are NOT made from neutral and neutral atoms. 10.How does a covalent bond form? From nonmetal and nonmetal atoms. 11.True or False: Metallic bonds can be formed by metal and neutral…

The arm is the most fascinating piece of equipment in all of sports. This is especially true in baseball, where a fairly recent epidemic of arm injuries in major leaguers, minor leaguers, and kids has hit the sport extremely hard. Eager to find the causes behind the uprising in arm injuries and a way to solve the problem, Jeff Passan went on a three year journey across the United States and abroad. His book, simply titled The Arm, compiles events from the trip and takes a look at possible causes…
