Californium is a metallic chemical element of the periodic table, found in the actinide family. It is used to start nuclear reactors, for oil exploration, and the treatment of cancer.
Although "discovered" or "found" is not perhaps the correct term, as Californium does not exist naturally on earth, it is created.
The synthetic radioactive metal, californium, was first created in 1950 by Albert Ghiorso, Kenneth Street Jr. and Stanley G. Thompson. It was named after the University of California and the state of California.

The origins of football is hotly debated, from Mexico to China, but the current game as we know it is from England.
Football is said to have been invented in England in 1863. It was in this year that the first association governing the game was founded. Football refers a number of sports which involve kicking of a ball.
The Ivy League schools were playing variations on a kicking game as far back as the 1820s. The first recognized intercollegiate football game took place in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton, in New Jersey, although that game probably looked more like soccer than the modern game of football we know.
The game started to resemble American football in the 1870s, when a standardized set of rules was drawn up based on the English rugby code. Over the next 40 years, several innovations slowly changed the game from rugby into what we know today, including the line of scrimmage, a down-and-distance system, and the forward pass.
So there was no one place where the game was invented. It evolved over many years, starting as a game that looked a lot like soccer and eventually growing out of rugby. Football/soccer was invented in England, the first registered football association was Sheffield FC in 1857.

How many minutes are there in each half of an international soccer game?
45 min. per half with any stoppage timed added onto the second half.
There are 45 minutes in a half international soccer game but it all depends on how many minutes the referee wants to give due to injuries of players.
So 45 minutes for the first half and 45 minutes for the second half. That makes it 90 minutes of play for the whole game.
