UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Europe's biggest club soccer competition, The UEFA Champions League, takes place every year. The competition begins in September and ends in May. It is a classic tournament following a round-robin format after which the top teams qualify to the knockout stages. It includes 32 best clubs in different countries of Europe. Obviously teams from major countries like England, Spain, France, Germany and Italy qualify easily while teams from smaller countries like Ireland, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark have to go through a qualifying round. The teams who win the leagues in their countries qualify directly while in some countries even the second, third and fourth placed teams also qualify. Sometimes a team may qualify in the Champions League because they finished in the top-four. These clubs may or may not qualify through their leagues but their good performance may help them qualify. Even the champions of The UEFA Europa League, another prestigious league of Europe, also qualify for the CL. Real Madrid is the most successful team in the UEFA Champions League, winning the trophy 11 times!

The 32 clubs who qualify are seeded in 8 groups. Each group includes 4 teams. Every team plays against the other team in their group twice, one at their home ground and one at the home ground of their opponents. In total every team plays 6 games. The top 2 teams from each group qualify to the knockout stages. The third placed team from each group goes to the UEFA Europa League. The last placed team goes home.

After a random draw the remaining 16 teams fight for the title through a knockout stage. All games in the knockout stage except the finals are played on home grounds of both the teams. The scores of both the games are used to determine who qualified for the next round. The team who scores more goals over these two games advances to the next round. In case both teams score equal number of goals, then the team with more goals away from home wins. In case even that is equal then the winner is decided through extra time and penalty shootout.

The final is played at a neutral venue and in case of a draw, the match goes on to extra time and ultimately penalty shootout.

The winner of the Champions League participates in many other tournaments next season. Apart from playing in the CL again next season as well as the competitions of their respective countries, they have to play against the winners of The UEFA Europa League for the UEFA Super Cup and also against the champions of other different continents for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Android Versions Named After Sweet

Have you ever thought why are Android versions always named after sweet names ?? Everytime a new Android version is launched its name is kept after a sweet name. Many people have researched about this topic and many have asked Google also. Have you ever tried to find out the core reason behind this? If not then you would find the answer here . First of all let us first see what Google says about this : In 2008 i.e. the year when Android was launched a reporter asked the reason for the same. At that time Google said “It’s kind of like an internal team thing, and we prefer to be a little bit — how should I say — a bit inscrutable in the matter, I’ll say,” said Randall Sarafa, a Google spokesman. “The obvious thing is that, yeah, the Android platform releases, they go by dessert names and by alphabetical order for the most part."

2-D & 3-D GEOMETRY

2-D & 3-D GEOMETRY We all have some amount of geometry. We know that any line can be represented on the Cartesian plane. Any figure can be drawn on it. But can we represent a 3-d object on it. Yes we can. A Cartesian plane has 2 axis. While representing in 3-D we need to add a third axis. This axis does not come in between the axis or in the same plane. It appears to be coming out of the paper as we cannot represent a 3-d object on a 2-d surface. This new z-axis represents a line coming out of the screen. Before understanding 3-d geometry you need to imagine this axis coming out of the screen. REMEMBER : all the three axis are perpendicular .i.e there an angle 0f 90 between them and they meet at the origin If you are unable to imagine you can take a thick book as an example. Any corner becomes it origin and the three edges as the three axis REPRESENTING 3-D GEOMETRY Like in 2-d geometry we represent the value of the different axis as (x,y) we use the sa...

Animal and Plant Cells

Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life. The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

The Inverse & Reciprocal TRIGONOMETRIC Functions

So, this is my second post on trigonometry. In this post we're gonna cover the reciprocal and the inverse Trigonometric functions. If you haven't seen my first post you should definitely view it as it covers the basics of Trigonometry The Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions The reciprocal Trigonometric function of Sine is Cosecant, of Cosine is Secant & for Tangent it is Cotangent. Cosecant (Csc θ = 1/Sin θ) or (Hypotenuse/Opposite) Secant (Sec θ = 1/Cos θ) or (Hypotenuse/Adjacent) Cotangent (Cot θ = 1/Tan θ) or (Adjacent/Opposite) We can also represent Tan θ in another way. As Tan θ = opposite/adjacent & Sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse & Cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse ∴ Tan θ = Sin θ/Cos θ (The hypotenuses cancel out) As Cot θ = 1/Tan θ So, we can also represent Cot θ as Cos θ/Sin θ.

Finding Square Roots Easily (Vedic Math)

Finding Square Roots Easily (Vedic Math) Hello, Guys!!! I’m back with another post on Vedic Math that is going to keep you glued rooted to your spot 😆. This time I’m going to teach you how to calculate the square roots of perfect squares faster… With a little practice, this method can let you calculate the roots in a matter of 5 seconds, whereas if you had used the traditional method, you would still be stuck with your question 😏 Things you need to know:- Perfect square which has unit digit 1 will have square root with the last digit as 1 or 9 Perfect square which has unit digit 4 will have square root with the last digit as 2 or 8 Perfect square which has unit digit 5 will have square root with the last digit as 5 Perfect square which has unit digit 6 will have square root with the last digit as 4 or 6 Perfect square which has unit digit 9 will have square root with the last digit as 3 or 7 Perfect square which has unit digit 0 will have square r...

High School Pedia

It is an initiative by some students to spread the light of knowledge to everyone and everywhere. It was started in the year 2015 and has grown rapidly in the past few months. By the means of this website, we try to provide information on every topic that we can reach up to. You can find different articles on this website.
