  • When a pitcher lets go of a ball at their head, the ball usually comes in at a 10 degree downward angle. The best way to hit this ball is to use a 10 degree uppercut swing path with the bat.

      If the ball is coming in at a 10 degree downward angle, then you need a 10 degree upward cut.

  • a ball hit at a 45 degree angle would travel the farthest. This is true if there is no wind or the air is not a factor. But the best angle to hit the ball with air as a factor is 39 degrees.

  • That's due to the spin of the ball. Curve balls are thrown with topspin so the top of the ball rotates in the direction of flight. When hit by the bat and thrown into reverse, curve balls automatically have backspin which gives them lift and carries them further. Fastballs are thrown out with backspin, so they spin the other way when hit, have less lift and sink faster.

      The best ball to hit is a Curveball
  • To generate more backspin, the batter should hit the ball a bit below the center, although it's unlikely batters have much time to think about that, Hubbard said.

  • Try listening to music without lyrics. Lyrics can be distracting, whereas instrumental music heightens concentration.
  • Try to avoid music that is new. You may find yourself paying closer attention to music that is not familiar.
  • Try to continue one style of studying, such as memorization or math, when listening to a particular type of music.

    "The scientists drew a link between memory recall to musical tempo. A tempo of 60 beats per minute activates the right hemisphere of the brain, while the material being studied activates the left hemisphere of the brain. With both hemispheres activated, the brain can process information more efficiently."

    "Scientists conducted a series of studies in the 1990s examining the influence of music on memory recall. The research supported the positive effects of background music when studying. The research also suggested that music, especially classical music, heightened arousal and mood, as it reduced blood pressure, heartbeat and stress."

    Mast cell diseases, like Mastocytosis, occur when the body has an excessive amount of mast cells. Due to the amount of mast cells in a person with Mastocytosis' body, they can get very sick and experience symptoms such as skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, headaches, bone pain and skeletal lesions, and anaphylaxis. The mast cells can be triggered by heat, cold, perfumes, medicines, and insect bites.

  • According to results, males drink more and aim to get drunk yet they associate their alcohol intake with the possibility of developing an addiction to a lesser extent than females.
  • We have observed that university students progressed to drink more alcohol. When they were adolescents they drank less alcohol and then more when reaching university. Nonetheless, today's adolescents drink the same amount as university students," outlines Espejo.
  • What will happen to these adolescents in a few years

  • If intake levels for secondary school and university students of the same sex are similar, this means that when secondary school students reach the age of 20, the consequences will be much greater than those seen amongst current university students.
  • "Nearly all adolescents who consumed alcohol started at around 13 or 14 years of age by drinking distilled alcohol (drinks with high alcohol content) in large quantities. On the other hand, university students started between 14 and 15 with fermented drinks like beer in relatively low quantities," confirms the expert.
  • the main reason for alcohol consumption in both groups is to have fun
  • The consequences are not understood
  • As for the consequences associated with alcohol consumption, neither youngsters nor university students are aware of the consequences.
  • They only take into consideration those consequences that repeatedly appear in television campaigns, like those relating to drink driving and personal relationship problems due to aggression.
  • They are also only aware of the immediate physical consequences like vomiting, dizziness, falling over and hangovers, etc.
  • ather that it is not recognised," concludes the researcher.
  • n general, youngsters feel that their alcohol consumption will have no negative consequences. They believe that for this to occur they would have to greatly increase their alcohol consumption. This, however, does not imply that the problem does not already exist but

    Herpes can "reactivate" and cause other diseases which is really interesting because I thought you could get rid of herpes and then it would be done. So you should always watch what you put in your mouth and what you touch before you touch your mouth.

    I agree with the statement, "If you go to bed with a troubling thought, you may wake with a solution, or at least feel better about the situation.". I feel like if I have a problem after dreaming about what could go wrong and sleeping I feel much better about the situation.
