Summer Transfer Window

SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW

Ah! It's finally summer and it is the time when football is at its peak. Transfer rumours, gossips, potential, possible lineups for the next season are what we see in news as well as on what is trending.

English clubs are the biggest spenders in transfer market with net spendings being well over than 1 Billion euros in the latest season. Spain and Germany are followed next with newcomers China also being a prominent source of spending money and being.

The transfer window is one of the busiest times for football clubs, even though no play is involved. Players may or may not be listed for transfers, loans and new contact signings, but the rumours are on top. Interests in a player by a club leads to gossips and predictions.

But signing a player is not a very simple task. It is in fact very complicated. To simplify things:

First, the club contacts the player and his agent and ask whether they are interested in a new club. If the player agrees, then the club launches a bid to their counterparts and only if the both the clubs agree on the deal, then only a move is possible for a player. Then contracts of the player are discussed. Many a times, the transfer does not take place as the player does not agree upon the wage offered by the club. Finally, the player goes through a medical test to ensure that he is fit enough to play for the new club. It is only after this, that the move is completed.

DEADLINE DAY

The last day of the summer transfer window is called the transfer deadline day. In Europe, after September 1 at 12 am GST, deals not announced are considered incomplete and the move won't take place in this window. Maximum amount of money is spent by clubs during this day.

RECORD SIGNINGS

The football clubs have spent a lot of money in signing quality players across the globe. Someone wisely said that earning money is quite easy in football, but spending is the most difficult part. As of now the top 3 highest signings are-

PAUL POGBA: Juventus to Manchester United for €105 million

GARETH BALE: Tottenham Hotspurs to Real Madrid for €100 million

CRISTIANO RONALDO: Manchester United to Real Madrid for €94 million

Cathode Ray Experiment

This experiment was conducted by J.J. Thomson (Sir Joseph John Thomson) in the year 1897. This experiment proved that atom is made up of fundamental particles which are much smaller than the smallest atom 'hydrogen' This experiment helped to discover electron. According to J.J. Thomson, the cathode rays consisted of very light, small and negatively charged particles. He named the particles "corpuscles" which were later known as electrons

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...

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. All these articles are written in simple language so that everyone can understand it and learn from it. We at High School Pedia believe in creative learning and this is the reason why we add our own edited graphical representations in every article. Once a very learned man said, “Knowledge increases by not keeping it to yourself but by sharing it with others”. And we follow the same motto “Share to Learn”. The team of High School Pedia tries its best to provide you with the best and original content. Unlike many other websites, High School Pedia is famous for its original and inspiring content.

Important Mathematical Constants!

Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1. π (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159): π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So π is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (πr 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2πr). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calcula...

Catalysts

Catalysts When we hear the word catalyst, the first thing that comes to mind is the game “Mirror’s Edge Catalyst”. But actually, catalysts are chemical substances that speed up the process of a chemical reaction but do not used up in the process of speeding up. The process of using catalysts to speed up chemical processes is called catalysis. Some examples are: Ø Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen. 2H2O2 à 2H2O + O2 But in the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO2) the process is sped up and happens a lot faster. Ø Cars use a catalytic converter to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. These contain Platinum to speed up the process and keep the car’s system getting backed up. Ø Ammonia synthesis also uses Iron as a catalyst Catalysts work by reacting with a reactant. This is called a catalytic action. The product of the catalytic action is a chemical intermediate, which can react with the other reactant at a faster pace and give...

Anode Ray Experiment

→Anode ray experiment was conducted by E Goldstein. →These rays are also known as canal rays. →This experiment helped in the discovery of the proton. Apparatus Used A discharge tube was taken in which there were 2 electrodes i.e. Anode(+ve) and the cathode (-ve). The tube was filled with an inert gas. A perforated or porous cathode was used. A layer of zinc sulphide was placed at the back of the cathode. There was a vacuum pump in the tube. High voltage (5000v-10000v) was allowed to flow through the system. It was observed that when the gas was at 1atm(atmospheric pressure ) no change was seen in the tube. When the pressure was decreased inside the tube, a glow could be seen at the back side of the cathode.

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment Hey, Guys, most of you might have heard about the alpha ray scattering experiment and if you want to know in detail about Rutherford's model and the experiment he conducted, this is the right place for you... But first: Things You Must Know Some basic information that will help you understand rutherford experiment properly: Proton is a sub-atomic particle which is positively charged and has a mass of 1u. Alpha particles are helium atom with a charge of +2 as they have lost 2 electrons. Alpha particles have an atomic mass of 4u. Gold is highly malleable and can be beaten into very thin sheets. Experiment Rutherford conducted his experiment in the following way: Rutherford took a very thin gold foil and bombarded it with high energy alpha particles. He placed a layer of zinc sulphide on the walls where the experiment was taking place because when alpha particles ...
