Google Doodle today involves going back to your chemistry lessons from school. The Doodle celebrates SPL Sørensen, a Danish biochemist, who is credited with having founded the pH scale system which is a scale for measuring the acidity and alkalinity. SPL Sorensen. Image: Wikipedia Born on 9 January 1868 in Havrebjerg in Denmark, Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen worked at the Carlsberg Laboratory in Copenhagen from 1901 to 1938. The concept of pH values was introduced in 1909 as a convenient way to express acidity. According to Science History , the context for introducing the concept of pH was moving away from colour change tests for indicating the degree of acidity and alkalinity to electrical methods of deriving it. In the electric method, "the current generated in an electrochemical cell by ions migrating to oppositely charged electrodes was measured, using a highly sensitive (and delicate) galvanometer." That was until Sorensen developed the pH scale which...

BOSTON -- There are those who place legacy in columns, draw the bottom-line report in simple accounting fashion . And there are those who are willing to work in areas of gray, in terms of nuance and circumstance. Some will say that Michael Jordan won six titles and Kobe Bryant won five (Bill Russell won 11 but is somehow usually not included in the counting discussion), and LeBron James has three, and that's that. Perhaps so, in the column, that is that. But for those who entertain perspective, James did something in this postseason that deserves to be recognized and revered. The Cleveland Cavaliers' 87-79 Game 7 victory in Boston on Sunday night earned James a silver trophy and not a gold one. It doesn't feel right to put this accomplishment next to the titles. Yet it doesn't seem fair to slide it in the list of Eastern Conference titles and move on. It's the responsibility of basketball fans who are willing to explain to those who don't k...

Neville Longbottom is officially off the market! Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis announced on Twitter Monday that he recently married girlfriend Angela Jones in Italy. The actor joked that the nuptials kept him away from seeing one of his favorite bands live after first missing them in L.A. “Not only did I miss @ ArcticMonkeys in LA but they were performing in Italy at the same time we were there and my wife made me get married instead. Fuming,” Lewis joked alongside a stunning photo of the two from their wedding. He later posted the same picture on Instagram with the American and U.K. flag emojis as the caption. The two reportedly got engaged in Paris by the Eiffel Tower in November 2016, according to a TMZ screenshot of the event planner’s private Instagram page. The two first met in January of that year at a celebration at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, w...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- "He embraces the moment." That's what an almost awestruck Kyle Korver said about LeBron James. The moment could be anything from a Game 7 to a chase-down blocked shot to a scowling face and a roar that made his teammates believe, "We are not losing this game." Or wasting the moment. So we find the Cleveland Cavaliers not only embracing the moment, but hugging yet another NBA Eastern Conference championship trophy. Four in a row. And James is 4-for-4 in trips to The NBA Finals since returning to the Cavs in the summer of 2014. "It was Game 7 in Boston," said Cavs coach Tyronn Lue. "There's all the history in Boston ... they were undefeated at home (in the playoffs) ... it was a hostile environment. And the final score: Cavaliers 87, Boston 79. James played all 48 minutes. He scored 35 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter. Want more? He ripped down 15 rebounds. He...

Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier and activist who gained attention after being convicted of leaking classified government and military documents to the website WikiLeaks, tweeted that she is "safe" after a now-deleted photo of a person standing on a ledge with the words "I'm sorry" caused concern online. The photo was posted on Manning's account on Sunday night, showing a person's feet standing on what appears to be a ledge of a building with a street shown below. It's unclear if it was Manning in the photo. ** chelsea is safe. she is on the phone with friends, thanks everyone for your concern and please give her some space — Chelsea E. Manning (@xychelsea) May 28, 2018 Later Sunday evening, the photo appeared to be deleted and instead a tweet was sent from Manning's account reading, "Chelsea is safe. She is on the phone with friend...

(AP) — Defending national champion Florida is the No. 1 seed in the NCAA baseball tournament, making the Gators the first program to be a top seed three times. OMAHA, Neb. – Losses in six of its last seven games didn’t diminish defending national champion Florida’s overall body of work when it came to seeding the NCAA baseball tournament. The Gators (42-17) are No. 1, and there never was much doubt, NCAA Division I Baseball Committee chairman Ray Tanner said Monday after the 64-team field was unveiled. Kevin O’Sullivan’s program is the first to earn the No. 1 overall seed three times since the tournament went to its current structure in 1999. The Gators also were top seeds in 2012 and 2016. “They were incredible the majority of the season and didn’t finish strong,” said Tanner, athletic director at South Carolina. “As we were finishing up our data last week before comin...
