How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

How can I take note when in class

                 how to take good notes in class.

how to take notes




            That will help you pass your exams

Attending class on a regular basis and paying attention are essential, yet they are insufficient. When studying , it's critical to take good and relevant notes that can help you better understand the concepts being taught and above all make you pass the class with flying colors.

Here are some tips that will help you take better notes

                                 1. Pay close attention.

It's all too easy to become lost in thought during a lecture and miss an important point. To avoid dozing off in class, try to get enough rest before lectures. Some people drink coffee before lectures to stay awake, while others chew gum. Pay close attention to any examples supplied by the professor to illustrate a concept. The example can sometimes assist us in remembering the point in the future.

                                2. Watch out
A lecture is not a dictation exercise in which you must write down everything said by the professor. In the lectures, keep an eye out for crucial ideas, arguments, and main points.

            3.Make use of shorthand (Abbreviations)

Some words must be put in short but intelligible forms in order to catch up. So, find a shorthand code that you're comfortable with and practice it. Words like '2' instead of 'to', 'too', and 'two,' or 'da' for 'the,' 'w/' for 'with,' btw for 'between, ''par' for paragraph and so on.

        4.Remove all potential sources of distraction.

To avoid receiving distracted messages on Whattsapp or Facebook, it may be a good idea to turn off your Wi-Fi during lectures. Remember to turn your phone to silent mode and avoid using headphones or earpieces above all just put your phone on do not disturb mode!

5.When you're confused, ask questions.

Don't just put stuff down that you don't know. When you're unsure, ask for clarification. If you have any questions, you can always meet with the lecturer during breaks, after the lecture, or during Office Hours.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER TIPS I HAVE FOR YOU->

Relax and unwind.

  • Make sure you arrive on time for your lectures and find a comfortable seat. When their preferred seat in the lecture hall is already taken, students are often discouraged. Choose a location where you will feel at ease and as though you are a part of the lesson. For me, the second or third row is ideal. I have a hard time concentrating in the backseats. They remind me of the rowdy backbenchers in high school who giggled and planned pranks on professors and classmates!
  • Make sure your note taking is organized. Taking organized notes will help you review lectures effectively and prepare for exams.
  • Don't just focus on what your instructor writes on the board when taking notes. Take notes on all of the major linguistic points and concepts that were presented throughout the lecture.
  • After each lecture take a few minutes to review your notes. Make sure you understand all the concepts covered in the lecture. Use your textbook to improve your notes and understanding of key concepts covered. 
Remember note taking takes practice to be a good note taker but it is worth it and also remember just keep practicing.

what are natural resources?

Natural Resources Introduction The resources, available on the Earth and the energy being received from the Sun, are essential to meet the basic necessities of all life-forms on the Earth. The  biotic  component incorporates all living of the biosphere. human sperm cells The abiotic component incorporates the air, the water, and the soil of the biosphere. Biogeochemical Cycles Biogeochemical cycles explain a constant interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere. Biogeochemical cycles are a dynamic phenomenon that helps to maintain the stability in the ecosystem. The significant biogeochemical cycles are − Water Cycle Carbon Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Let’s discuss each of them in brief − Water Cycle The whole process, starting from the water evaporation, rainfall to flowing back into the sea via rivers, is known as the  water-cycle . water forming a circle As shown in the image given above, water cycle is a complex phenomenon.

why do we fall sick?

Biology - Why do We Fall Ill Introduction Health means a state of mental, physical, and social well-being.

The public cleanliness is the key of good health. Some diseases, last only for a short period of time, are known as  acute diseases . E.g. cold, fever, etc. The diseases that last for a long period of time, even as much as a lifetime, are known as  chronic diseases . E.g. asthma, osteoporosis, etc. Chronic diseases, normally, have very severe long-term effects on people’s health as compared to the acute diseases.

what is respiration?

Biology - Respiration Introduction The food material, taken in during the process of nutrition, is used by cells and then they provide energy for various life processes. Some organisms use oxygen to break-down glucose completely into carbon dioxide and water, such processes normally take place in cytoplasm. The following diagram illustrates the whole process of break-down of glucose through various pathways − During cellular respiration, the energy released, is immediately used to synthesize a molecule known as  ATP . ATP is further used to fuel all other activities in the cell. However, in these processes, ATP is broken down and give rise to a fixed amount of energy. This energy usually drives the endothermic reactions taking place in the cell. Adenosine triphosphate or simply ATP is a small molecule used in cells as a coenzyme (see image given below). More often, ATP is referred as the  energy currency  for most of the cellular processes (especially intracellular energy...
