INDIAN SUPER LEAGUE

The Indian Super League (ISL) is a football tournament held in India annually. It is a tournament famous all across the country and is watched by millions of football fans. In the 2017-18 season, there are 10 different teams participating for the coveted title. The top four teams will qualify for the semifinals and the winner of the finals is also guaranteed a place in the AFC Cup. In the past seasons many world class players like Alessandro Del Piero, Marco Materazzi, Roberto Carlos, Zico, Luis Garcia, Diego Forlan, Florent Malouda, Nicolas Anelka, Robert Pires, Robbie Keane and even Dimitar Berbatov, who are some football legends to have graced this competition as either players or coaches.

The competition has amazing Indian stars too and it is a great way of getting to know about the rising talents in this country. As of 2017, the 10 teams playing in the league include-

Delhi Dynamos

Mumbai City FC

Chennaiyin FC

Atletico De Kolkata

FC Goa

Jamshedpur FC

Bengaluru FC

Kerala Blasters

Northeast United FC

Pune City FC

HISTORY

The ISL was founded by the Reliance Foundation in 2013. The first season of Hero ISL was held in 2014. A total of eight teams participated in this competition. Atletico De Kolkata won the title by defeating Kerala Blasters led by David James in this season. In the next season Chennaiyin FC won a late goalscoring thriller in the final by defeating Zico's FC Goa. A rejuvenated Atletico De Kolkata won for the second time by edging out Kerala Blasters on penalties in 2016.

IMPORTANT STATISTICS

Iain Hume remains the all time top scorer with 23 goals in the three seasons. He also played the most number of games in this tournament till date. Iain Hume was also the Hero of the League in 2014. Stiven Mendoza of Chennaiyin FC's star-studded champions was named the Hero of the League in 2015. On the other hand, former Chelsea player Florent Malouda remains as the tournaments all time most assists. He was the Hero of the League in 2016. Atletico De Kolkata versus Chennaiyin FC recorded the highest ever attendance of 68,340 at the Salt Lake Stadium in 2015.

Piezoelectric Crystal

Piezoelectric Crystal {literally_pressing electricity} Ever wondered what it might be like to live in dark or sleep in a hot summer day without an AC ? Absurd, isn't it ? But with the rate at which we are using our resources, it may not be long before it actually happens. Scientist across the globe are searching for new resources, stocks and technology to prevent the near, unpleasant future of current and the next gen. One of these, an unexploited tech is that of Piezoelectricity. Piezoelectricity is an ability of some special materials (like crystals of quartz, ceramics of lithium niobite, gallium arsenide, zinc oxide) to trigger an electric charge when supposed to mechanical stress. These materials are available in basic instruments that we use in our daily life like microphones, quartz watch, gramophones. All these materials are run by the piezoelectric current. But how does it work? When you apply force (mechanical force) on it, an electric potential, on eit

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.

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.

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.

Levitation 2

LEVITATION II To be completely honest I was going to start this with a pun. I did think of one but it doesn’t float… I am sorry I just had to. Anyway, this is the second part to the article on super cool ways of making things levitate. Go check the first part out if you haven’t already. Actually, the first part may have become repulsive with all the magnets and stuff, but I promise this will be more attractive. Get it? No? I’ll stop now. I am just going to jump straight into it. 1. Electrostatic Levitation I know you are probably sick and tired of magnets but they are the best way you know… This method is somewhat similar. You remember that cool science experiment you did with two straws attracting or repulsing each other based on their charge? So basically using the same principle we can make a charged object levitate. But before you try it, let me tell you it won’t be easy. Even impossible according to our Mr. Earnshaw. He even made a law (the law is

Isotopes, Isobars and Isotones

Isotopes These are elements which have the same atomic number but different atomic mass . They have the same atomic number because the number of protons that are inside their nuclei remains the same. But, they have different atomic mass because the number of neutrons that are also inside their nuclei is different. As the number of protons inside nuclei remains same, therefore the overall charge of the elements also remains same as in isotopes: no of protons = no of electrons . Hence, as isotopes overall charge remains neutral, therefore their chemical properties will also remain identical. Therefore, Isotopes are chemically same but physically different.

Upcoming Marvel Movies

Hey, guys! Today we are going to talk about the 5 most awaited and upcoming marvel movies. Everyone is eagerly waiting right ?! 1) GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY vol.2 (2017) Last month marvel shared the first teaser of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 describing it as the official sneak-peak. All five main characters- star lord, gamora, rocket, Drax and 'baby' groot .
