How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

Your friend
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...

Biology - Why do We Fall Ill

Introduction

  • Health means a state of mental, physical, and social well-being.

  • The health of an organism largely depends on his/her surroundings or the environment.

a sick man


  • Major causes of poor health are - the garbage, which is thrown in an open area nearby residence or streets, or/and the open drain water lying stagnant around the residence area.

  • 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.

Infectious Diseases

  • When microbes are the immediate causes of a disease, it is known as infectious diseases.

  • Some of the major agents of infectious diseases are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and some single-celled animals (protozoans).

  • Some diseases are caused by the multicellular organisms; such as worms.

  • Kala-azar or black fever is caused by a protozoan parasite of genus Leishmania(shown in the image given below).


  • Acne is caused by staphylococci bacteria (shown in the image given below).


  • Sleeping sickness is caused by protozoan organism namely Trypanosoma (shown in the image given below).


Means of Spread



  • Most of the microbial agents can commonly move from an affected person to other in number of ways.

  • The microbial agents are ‘communicated,’ therefore, also known as communicable diseases.

Airborne Diseases

  • Some of the microbes can spread through the air; example of such airborne diseases are common cold, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.


Waterborne Diseases

  • Some diseases can also be spread through water, known as waterborne diseases. E.g. cholera etc.

Vector-borne Infections

  • Some diseases are transmitted by different animals including human beings; in fact, these animals carry the infecting agents. Therefore, such animals are intermediaries and known as ‘vectors’.

  • Mosquitoes are the most common vectors.

Prevention

  • Infectious diseases can be prevented by means of public health hygiene measures.

  • Infectious diseases can be prevented through proper immunization (in advance).

what is gravity

Your friend
Physics - Gravitation Introduction All celestial bodies those found in the universe attract each other and the force of attraction among these bodies is called as the  gravitational force . Universal Law of Gravitation Every object in the universe has the property to attract every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (see the image given below). F  = force of attraction between two the objects ‘A’ & ‘B’ M  = mass of ‘A’ m  = mass of ‘B’ d 2  = the square of the distance between ‘A’ & ‘B’ G  = is the constant of proportionality and is known as the universal gravitation constant. The SI unit of G is  N m 2  kg –2 . It is obtained by substituting the units of force, distance and mass (as given in the following equation − $$G = \frac{Fd^2}{M \times m}$$ Henry Cavendish had calculated the value of  ‘G’  as  6.6...

carbon and it's compound

Your friend
Chemistry - Carbon and its Compounds Introduction Carbon plays very important roles for all living beings. The amount of carbon in the earth’s crust is merely 0.02%, which is available in the form of minerals such as carbonates, hydrogen-carbonates, coal, and petroleum. The presence of carbon in the atmosphere of the earth is 0.03%, in the form of carbon dioxide. Compounds of Carbon Almost all carbon compounds (except a few) are poor conductors of the electricity. The diamond and graphite both are formed by carbon atoms; however, the difference lies between them in the manner in which the carbon atoms are bonded to one another. In diamond, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to four other carbon atoms and form a rigid three-dimensional structure (see the image given below). In graphite, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to three other carbon atoms in the same plane, which gives a hexagonal array (see the image given below) − There is also difference in some physical structu...

  Jamb/waec most repeated hot topics OVERVIEW Below are tips carefully selected, that jamb/waec sometimes pay attention to in Exams you are encourage to know them 1.     Retina is the part of the eye that is sensitive to light. 2. Population rate or size varies due to factors like natality, mortality, immigration, and emigration 3. The number of offspring produced from a mitotic division is  Two . 4.  Large vacuoles  are absent in animal cells but present in plant cell along with Chloroplast and cellulose cell wall while Chromosomes occur in both. 5. The energy released during cellular respiration is stored in the form of  Adenosine Triphosphate  (ATP) 6. At the end of  mitosis , the number of cells produced is four. 7. During  inspiration , the diaphragm contracts and flattens out simultaneously as the rib muscles contract, causing the ribs to be raised. 8. Each kidney is connected with the bladder by a Ureter. 9.
