How much time was left in the game when Denver took the score to 24-10? | With 4:51 left in regulation, Carolina got the ball on their own 24-yard line with a chance to mount a game-winning drive, and soon faced 3rd-and-9. | End zone Thus, in 1912, the end zone was introduced in American football. In an era when professional football was still in its early years and college football dominated the game, the resulting enlargement of the field was constrained by fact that many college teams were already playing in well-developed stadiums, complete with stands and other structures at the ends of the fields, thereby making any substantial enlargement of the field unfeasible at many schools. Eventually, a compromise was reached: 12 yards of end zone were added to each end of the field, but in return, the playing field was shortened from 110 yards to 100, resulting in the physical size of the field being only slightly longer than before. Goal posts were originally kept on the goal lines, but after they began to interfere with play, they moved back to the end lines in 1927, where they have remained in college football ever since. The National Football League moved the goal posts up to the goal line again in 1933, then back again to the end line in 1974. |

Tranmere broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half when Cook made up for his earlier miss.
The home side were denied a second with 20 minutes to go when McNamara saved a penalty from Hughes.
McNamara also saved the follow-up from Norwood, the player he had brought down for the spot-kick to be awarded.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. | The Irish needed to win to progress from Pool B but Juan Saldino's close-range finish put Argentina ahead.
John Jermyn levelled but Ireland were soon behind again as Gonzalo Peillat netted just before half-time.
Shane O'Donoghue made it 2-2 before Peillat scored his second penalty corner goal to end Ireland's first Olympic hockey appearance since 1908.
A draw was enough for Argentina to make the last eight and Saldino set them on their way as he pounced to net after a Peillat penalty corner was blocked on the line.
Argentina forced successive penalty corners in the first quarter but Irish goalkeeper David Harte was in superb form as he repeatedly denied the South Americans.
Ireland improved in the second quarter and Jermyn fired high into the net from a penalty corner with six minutes left in the second quarter.
It was 2-1 just two minutes later as Peillat finally found a way past Harte, who made an excellent double-save in the third quarter while Argentina hit the woodwork.
O'Donoghue rattled in a penalty corner with nine minutes left to restore Irish hopes of a memorable victory.
However, Paillet delivered a clinical strike within seconds to earn Argentina victory while ensuring Ireland finished fifth in Pool B. |

What does defragging your hard drive actually do? | So when you delete something from your hard drive, really all you've done is removed a pointer in the computer that tells it "hey there is something here." Subsequently, when new files are added, it sees that space as available, and writes into it. Sometimes, the space being written into does not match the space of what is being written. For instance, you delete a 1kb file, and are creating a 2 mb file. So the system writes 1kb to that spot. Then it writes the remaining in other spots. This slows the read time down as now the computer has to look in several different places to put together this one file. Defragging says "ok, look at the files I have, and arrange them so they're all together in one piece as much as possible" | It's a lot bigger than 'a guy' ramming hard drives...but yes, I think they just keep expanding their storage.

How do chloroplasts reproduce? | Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, contain their own DNA, which is thought to be inherited from their ancestor—a photosynthetic cyanobacterium that was engulfed by an early eukaryotic cell. | The results of the microscopy experiments led to the idea that chloroplast DNA replicates using a double displacement loop (D-loop). |
Rural Maine County Hosts Biathlon World Cup | Thousands of biathlon competitors and fans have gathered in rural Aroostook County in Maine for the sport's World Cup. More than 10 years ago, Aroostook, traditionally a hub for potato farming and logging, hatched a plan to reverse the stagnant wage growth and high unemployment that plague so many sparsely populated areas. The county already drew large numbers of snowmobilers to its network of well-groomed trails. So Aroostook set out to build on that base — by capitalizing on its long history of superb cross-country skiing and transforming itself into one of the world's premier Nordic sports destinations. | The 100m breaststroke world record holder, 22, will defend his title when the championships start on 14 July.

who played cotton in pirates of the caribbean | David Bailie David Bailie (born 4 December 1937)[1] is an English actor, known for his performances on stage, television and film. In the 1960s and 1970s he worked for both the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he was an associate artist. On TV he played "Dask" in the 1977 Doctor Who serial The Robots of Death, and also appeared in Blake's 7. On film, he played the mute pirate Cotton in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.[2] Bailie is also a professional photographer, specialising in portrait photography. He has a studio in West Kensington, London. | The play is a loose adaptation of Moliere's 17th Century tragi-comedy Don Juan that transports the legendary womaniser to contemporary London.
The production, which Marber will direct, will run at the Wyndham's Theatre from 17 March to 10 June.
The original 2006 production starred Rhys Ifans in the title role and was directed by Michael Grandage.
The play drew a good review from the Telegraph's Charles Spencer, who described it as "savagely funny, disturbingly dark and disgracefully sexy".
Tennant previously performed at the Wyndham's in 2011, playing Benedick in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
He recently played Richard II with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican, moving to New York with the production earlier this year.
The former Doctor Who actor played another famous womaniser, Casanova, in a 2005 BBC TV series.
Further Don Juan in Soho casting will be announced at a later date.

A birthday boy with car shaped cake and candles on it. | A little boy standing next to a car shaped cake. | /u/MultiFazed gives a great drill down. In general, these sorts of puzzles rely what is called *metaknowledge*, what you know about what someone knows. You aren't just using the clues Cheryl gives you, but the fact those clues are insufficient for one person to solve the problem. To look at a simpler example of how this works, let's say there are a bunch of black hats and only one red hat. You and a friend are given the hats in such a way you don't know the color of the hat you are wearing, but can see the other person's. You see your friend has a black hat, so you can't be sure if yours is red or black. But if your friend says "I don't know what color my hat is", you can now deduce your hat must not be red, otherwise they would have known their hat had to be black. The birthday problem works in essentially the same way, except it takes more than one step to narrow down the possibilities. |
Biden Expected To Work To Repair U.S. Relations With Palestinian Leadership | The Trump administration dramatically shifted U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians in favor of Israel.

In Iran, Green Movement Has 'Ceased To Exist' | Reporter Jon Lee Anderson visited Iran, and spoke with members of the reform movement as well as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. His conclusion: Under intense pressure from government supporters, "the Green Movement has effectively ceased to exist as a visible political force." | These attacks resonated with conservative Muslims and the problem did not go away with Saddam's defeat either, since American troops remained stationed in the kingdom, and a de facto cooperation with the Palestinian-Israeli peace process developed. |
What are malum prohibitum considerations? | Some legal requirements come from malum in se considerations, or the desire to prevent things that are indisputably bad – bridge collapses or explosions. | Gun laws in Texas Texas has no laws regarding possession of any firearm regardless of age, without felony convictions; all existing restrictions in State law mirror Federal law. A person of any age, except certain Felons, can possess a firearm such as at a firing range. Texas and Federal law only regulate the ownership of all firearms to 18 years of age or older, and regulate the transfer of handguns to 21 years or older by FFL dealers. However, a private citizen may sell, gift, lease etc. a handgun to anyone over 18 who is not Felon. NFA weapons are also only subject to Federal restrictions; no State regulations exist. Municipal and county ordinances on possession and carry are generally overridden (preempted) due to the wording of the Texas Constitution, which gives the Texas Legislature (and it alone) the power to "regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime".[4] Penal Code Section 1.08 also prohibits local jurisdictions from enacting or enforcing any law that conflicts with State statute. Local ordinances restricting discharge of a firearm are generally allowed as State law has little or no specification thereof, but such restrictions do not preempt State law concerning justification of use of force and deadly force. |

What was developed from Watt's measurements on a model steam engine? | The steam engine contributed much to the development of thermodynamic theory; however, the only applications of scientific theory that influenced the steam engine were the original concepts of harnessing the power of steam and atmospheric pressure and knowledge of properties of heat and steam. | An oscillating cylinder steam engine is a variant of the simple expansion steam engine which does not require valves to direct steam into and out of the cylinder. |
if marginal costs rises above average costs average costs must | Average cost A typical average cost curve will have a U-shape, because fixed costs are all incurred before any production takes place and marginal costs are typically increasing, because of diminishing marginal productivity. In this "typical" case, for low levels of production marginal costs are below average costs, so average costs are decreasing as quantity increases. An increasing marginal cost curve will intersect a U-shaped average cost curve at its minimum, after which point the average cost curve begins to slope upward. For further increases in production beyond this minimum, marginal cost is above average costs, so average costs are increasing as quantity increases. An example of this typical case would be a factory designed to produce a specific quantity of widgets per period: below a certain production level, average cost is higher due to under-utilized equipment, while above that level, production bottlenecks increase the average cost. | If the state does not provide these services, then for those on lower incomes, the costs must be borrowed and often those on lower incomes are those who are worse equipped to manage their finances. |

who sings the hook on i ain't mad at cha | Danny Boy (singer) Danny Boy Steward (born October 31, 1977) is a Chicago native known by his stage name Danny Boy or DB. He is a contemporary African-American soul singer originally signed for a five-year run with Death Row Records by Suge Knight. He made his debut on 1994's Murder Was the Case soundtrack with the R&B charter Come When I Call (Produced by DJ Quik).

Today In Politics: Nunes' Judgment Under Fire; Changes To Climate Change Rules | NPR’s Ron Elving (@NPRrelving) joins Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson to discuss the mounting pressure for House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes to step away from his committee’s Russia investigation. Also, they talk about what President Trump hopes to accomplish with an executive order he’ll sign Tuesday that does away with many of former President Obama’s climate change regulations. | Campaign group ClientEarth had brought the case, saying draft measures on cutting nitrogen dioxide levels were flawed and "plainly unlawful".
The court ruled last year that government plans to meet air quality limits were inadequate.
But a judge refused the application for an order that a further consultation should go ahead.
Nitrogen dioxide limits were introduced in EU law in 1999, with the aim of achieving them by 2010.
Mr Justice Garnham said in May 2016 that the government's plans to meet the limits must be improved.
Issues with the draft Air Quality Plan raised by Nathalie Lieven QC, for ClientEarth, included:
The High Court judge said he found no reason to rule there had been illegality.
ClientEarth said the government's final plans could be open to a legal challenge if some of its concerns were not addressed.
Its chief executive, James Thornton, said the court's judgement had sent a "clear signal to ministers that they must improve on their draft plans to reduce air pollution as soon as possible".
Oliver Hayes, air pollution campaigner for Friends of the Earth, said the government was "increasingly out on a limb when it comes to air pollution".
He added that without adequate Clean Air Zones pollution was set to remain at illegal levels.
A Defra spokesman said: "Improving the UK's air quality and cutting harmful emissions is a priority for this government and we will continue to work towards publishing our final plan by 31 July." |

He then shot a 73 to finish 13-under-par and beat Terry Pilkadaris, Kristoffer Broberg, Daniel Gaunt and Soren Kjeldsen into tied second place.
Scotland's Paul Lawrie and Wales' Bradley Dredge both finished one shot further back on 10 under.
Stockport-born Horsey led from wire-to-wire, with Thursday's round including a 28 that equalled the lowest nine holes on the Tour this season.
Horsey shot three bogeys and one birdie in his last round, but it proved enough to hold off the challenge of Broberg.
The Swede climbed 50 places on the leaderboard after firing nine birdies in his final round.
It meant he carded a 62 on Sunday, but that left him two short of Horsey's 271 overall. |
Why do so many religions forbid masturbation? | Religions wanted as many followers as they could have, so they wanted their followers to have as many children as they could. They used guilt and shame to make people think the only time people should have sexual release is only when it was intended to make a baby. | Earlier this month, the high court had ruled that the voluntary religious practice of santhara was a form of suicide and, therefore, illegal.
Jains had protested against the order, saying suicide was sin, whereas santhara was religion.
On Monday, the top court said it would take up the issue for consideration.
Legal experts say they expect the case to take several years to come to a conclusion.
Jainism is one of the world's most ancient religions, and Jain monks lead a life of extreme austerity and renunciation.
Santhara - also known as sallekhana - is a controversial practice in which a Jain gives up food and water with the intention of preparing for death.
Some human rights activists say the ritual is "a social evil" and should be considered as suicide.
In its order, the Rajasthan high court agreed that it amounted to suicide and made it a criminal offence. |
A man has been convicted of murdering a 60-year-old grandfather, who was fatally stabbed in a London pub while trying to protect a barmaid. | Aiden O'Mahony died from a single stab wound in JJ Moon's pub on High Street, Hornchurch, on 10 January.
James Roberts, 31, from Hornchurch, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 6 January 2017.
The court heard how Mr O'Mahonny had been "peacefully enjoying a drink" when a fight broke out.
Roberts threatened the barmaid with "serious violence" after she asked him to leave the pub.
The Old Bailey heard Mr O'Mahony challenged Roberts, and when "Roberts asked him to go outside [Mr O'Mahony] agreed."
After the attack several customers had to barricade the pub door shut, as Roberts tried to force his way back inside, police said.
Mr O'Mahony's family said they were "devastated" by his death.
"Aiden was a very loved son, brother, partner and granddad," they added.
Det Insp Garry Moncrieff said: "Roberts was in a foul and aggressive mood and decided to just take it out on anyone who he felt crossed him.
Mr O'Mahony "was being a gentleman" but his "brave intervention unfortunately cost him his life", he added. | Keith Burgess, a neighbourhood officer in Southampton, allegedly asked another girl for naked photos as "payment" for helping her family.
The married 42-year-old used his position to befriend parents and gain access to their daughters, the trial at Guildford Crown Court was told.
He denies grooming, sexual assault, making indecent photos and misconduct.
The court heard a 16-year-old was sexually assaulted twice at her family home in May 2015.
On one occasion Mr Burgess is said to have put his hands under her clothing in the kitchen while her parents were watching TV in the lounge.
The teenager told her family and PC Burgess was arrested while on duty.
His mobile phone revealed contact with two other teenagers, including messages of a sexual nature, the jury heard.
Prosecutors said he asked the girls, aged 15 and 17, to send him naked selfies and paid the younger one a total of £220 as an "allowance".
The court heard PC Burgess was "trusted and respected" by families in the Newtown area where he worked.
He told police the 16-year-old girl had said it was "OK" to touch her.
The officer, of Cheviot Drive, Dibden Purlieu, faces three charges of sexual assault, three of misconduct in public office, one child grooming offence and two charges of making indecent photographs.

who did the ottoman empire fight with in ww1 | History of the Ottoman Empire during World War I The Ottoman Empire participated in World War I as one of the Central Powers. The Ottoman Empire entered the war by carrying out a surprise attack on Russia's Black Sea coast on 29 October 1914, with Russia responding by declaring war on 5 November 1914.

when did sarva shiksha abhiyan started in india | Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan As an intervention programme, it started on 2010 and SSA has been operational since 2000-2001.[1] However, its roots go back to 1993-1994, when the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) was launched, with an aim of achieving the objective of universal primary education.[2] DPEP, over several phases, covered 272 districts in 18 states of the country.[3] The expenditure on the programme was shared by the Central Government (85%) and the State Governments. The Central share was funded by a number of external agencies, including the World Bank, DFID and UNICEF.[4] By 2001, more than US$1500 million had been committed to the programme, and 50 million children covered in its ambit. In an impact assessment of Phase I of DPEP, the authors concluded that its net impact on minority children was impressive, while there was little evidence of any impact on the enrolment of girls. Nevertheless, they concluded that the investment in DPEP was not a waste, because it introduced a new approach to primary school interventions in India.[4] | Jagadhri Bilaspur town, named after the writer of the Mahabharata - Maharishi Vyasa, is a historical place.

Why do completely random memories pop into my head? | If you could definitively answer this and prove your theory, you'd probably win a Nobel Prize. There is a lot of theory on how memory works, but no one knows for sure. The best explanation would be that somehow the right combination of neurons in your head fired in just the right way to trigger that memory. I think we've all had it happen - some memory from decades pops up for no obvious reason. I've heard it theorized that we never forget anything. Every experience, every smell, everything we've seen heard or even thought - it's all in there somewhere, but we just can't access the memories because we don't know how or where they're stored. | The alcohol inhibits the creation of new memories as far as I understand. That is, once you reach a certain toxicity level. So its not that you can't access the memories... They just don't exist. |
who were the two scientists who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading in the early 1960s | Seafloor spreading Earlier theories (e.g. by Alfred Wegener and Alexander du Toit) of continental drift postulated that continents "ploughed" through the sea. The idea that the seafloor itself moves (and also carries the continents with it) as it expands from a central axis was proposed by Harry Hess from Princeton University in the 1960s.[3] The theory is well accepted now, and the phenomenon is known to be caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere, which is ductile, or plastic, and the brittle lithosphere.[4][clarification needed] | His fame is due in mathematical astronomy to the introduction of the astronomical globe and to his early contributions to the understanding of the movement of the planets . |

No Joking This Time: 4 Men Hospitalized After Bee Attack In California | We had a bit of fun Thursday with a story about a 200-pound beehive in Arizona. This story's nothing to laugh about: "4 Men Hospitalized In Honeybee Attack." (OC Weekly) It seems that "thousands of angry bees swarmed a man in a wheelchair [Thursday], sending him and three others who came to his aid to the hospital in the Southern California city of Santa Ana. ... The trouble started at a storage yard when a man in a wheelchair apparently disturbed the hive, causing the bees to bombard him, Santa Ana fire Capt. Steven Snyder said." (The Associated Press, via MSNBC) The victim in the wheelchair was stung more than 60 times. There were an estimated 60,000 bees in the hive. Firefighters had to evacuate people in the nearby block while professionals rounded up the bees. | The outbreak resulted in initial deaths on 9 January 2020 and 16 January 2020 , both in men over 60 , a third on 19 January 2020 , and six more on 21 January 2020. |
Work on a major junction in Brighton has been completed despite a protest over the proposed felling of a mature elm tree. | The Seven Dials junction was labelled the "most accident prone" by Brighton and Hove City Council, with 20 accidents in the past three years.
An elm tree was due to be removed, but was saved after two protesters spent 48 hours up the tree in March.
The work included replacing a mini-roundabout and removing street clutter.
Guard railings have also been removed and the paving has been replaced.
The seven roads that meet at Seven Dials include the A2010, a major route through Brighton. | In 1914 developers Billings & Meyering acquired the tract, completed street development, provided the last of the necessary municipal improvements including water service, and began marketing the property with fervor. |
The Irish FA Disciplinary Committee has upheld a decision that Glenavon's David Elebert was ineligible for the club's Boxing Day derby against Portadown. | The club was fined £350 and ordered to forfeit the match by a 3-0 scoreline.
Elebert was banned for one game from 19 December and Glenavon thought that was served by sitting out a reserve match.
The committee considered an appeal against the sanction but ruled that ultimate responsibility for ensuring player eligibility lies with the club.
The committee heard a challenge submitted by Glenavon, with both written and verbal submissions from the club and Association considered, in relation to a breach of Article 22.1 of the Irish FA Disciplinary Code, but this proved unsuccessful.
Glenavon FC have a right of appeal under Article 14 of the Irish FA's Articles of Association.
Elebert's suspension was imposed for accumulating five bookings, with three during reserve games.
The Mourneview Park club said the IFA cleared Elebert to play in the mid-Ulster derby on 26 December, which ended 2-2, but IFA rules state that bans apply to the "more senior team".
Elebert's fifth yellow card, which triggered the suspension, was picked up in a reserve fixture.
However, Rule 15.4 of the IFA Disciplinary Code states: "A player who receives cautions for more than 1 team within his club will have his cautions amalgamated and must serve any suspension......with the more senior team."
Glenavon added that they queried Elebert's eligibility with the Irish FA and he was only selected following its advice.
Portadown were themselves punished for fielding an eligible player against Ards earlier this season.
Robert Garrett scored in a 3-1 win but the midfielder was suspended for the game and the Ports forfeited the points while Ards were awarded a 3-0 victory. | Substitute Kyle Lafferty bagged a double in the comfortable win ahead of Tuesday's away clash against Germany.
"There were a lot of good things and I'm delighted with the score," he said.
"However, our final ball was poor at times and players know things could have been better - and our standards will have to be higher on Tuesday."
Northern Ireland skipper Steven Davis and Jamie Ward also netted against a San Marino side reduced to 10 players following Mirko Palazzi's dismissal on 49 minutes.
"It was a difficult decision to leave Kyle out but he has only played 45 minutes for Norwich since the Czech Republic game last month," O'Neill told Sky Sports.
"I'm delighted for him to get the goals and his attitude was great.
"We know what to expect against Germany and we will have to rise to the occasion."
Lafferty produced an impressive cameo at the redeveloped Windsor Park, which was officially opened before the game.
"I was disappointed not to start although I understand Michael's decision," said the striker.
"It was the right decision as I'm not fit but I'm happy to get on and score two goals.
"We stayed patient in the match and we're happy with four points from our opening two qualifiers."
World champions Germany top the group on six points with Azerbaijan, who Northern Ireland host next month, also on maximum points. |

description of puck from a midsummer night's dream | Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream) Puck is a clever, mischievous fairy, sprite or jester that personifies the wise knave. In the play, Shakespeare introduces Puck as the "shrewd and knavish sprite" and "that merry wanderer of the night". Puck is the one who is first introduced in the fairies' story and creates the drama of the lovers' story by breaking up a young couple lost in an enchanted forest, as well as by replacing Bottom's head with that of an ass. Similarly, Bottom is performing in a play intended to be presented as a lover's story, as well as interacting with Titania twice in the opening dialogue of Act 2 Scene 1 as "he". | An intersection during a cold and foggy night. |
Recalling the Mayhem of '68 Convention | Next week's 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston will in all likelihood be a well-scripted affair. In these fractious pre-election days, Republicans and Democrats both have a desire to keep their nominating conventions on message. And that's often the case. But at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, the script was thrown out the window. The main flashpoint of the convention was the war in Vietnam. Thousands of anti-war protesters had gathered six miles away on Michigan Street. Fences, barbed wire and a strong police force kept them back from the delegate gathering at Chicago's International Ampitheater. And a telephone and taxi strike kept delegates and reporters inside in the dark for hours about what was going on outside. Chicago police broke up a protest outside the Hilton hotel with tear gas and clubs. When footage eventually arrived at the convention, delegates reacted first with disbelief, then anger. Commentator and former CBS-TV anchorman Walter Cronkite replays what happened next. | Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution A Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also called an Article V Convention or Amendments Convention, called for by two-thirds (currently 34) of the state legislatures, is one of two processes authorized by Article Five of the United States Constitution whereby the Constitution, the nation's frame of government, may be altered.

VW Owners Mull Options After Carmaker Settles Emissions Scandal Case | Under the terms of the nearly $15 billion deal announced on Tuesday, Volkswagen will spend up to $10 billion to fix or buy back cars of nearly 500,000 owners. | The company will pay $830m (£581m) to investors who bought Merck securities between 1999 and 2004.
The lawsuit stemmed from statements Merck made about the cardiovascular safety of the painkiller Vioxx.
Vioxx was withdrawn from the market in 2004 after evidence showed it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke.
In 2011 Merck pleaded guilty to federal charges of violating marketing laws related to its sale of Vioxx.
Federal officials accused the company of making false statements and illegally marketing Vioxx as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis to increase sales.
Merck said this latest settlement with investors did not constitute an admission of guilt by the company.
It still faced a number of individual lawsuits related to Vioxx. |

The marchers were heard to shout "Hands up, don't shoot" as they carried banners through the capital.
The march is in response to the fatal shootings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.
The Black Lives Matter London Movement was founded by 18-year-old sixth form student Marayam Ali.
She told The Voice:"By these people coming here to stand and unite, they are showing that they are against police brutality and that's the most important thing."
Further protests are planned in Windrush Square, in Brixton, on Saturday and Oxford Circus on Sunday.

Bolivian President Evo Morales has said his country will file a suit against Chile over a water dispute at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). | Bolivia says it owns the Silala spring in a border region and that it is not being compensated by Chile for the use of its waters.
But Chile says it is an international waterway of shared use.
Bolivia had brought up another case against Chile at the Hague-based ICJ, demanding access to the Pacific Ocean.
The River Silala rises in Bolivia but flows down the Andes into Chile.
"We have decided as a pacifist country to go to The Hague so that Chile respects our water in Silala," Mr Morales said.
Bolivia-Chile land dispute has deep roots
Chile's Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz said the country could file a counterclaim.
"What is clear is that it is not only about the sea, now it is about the rivers and any other excuse to attack our country and its interests," Mr Munoz was quoted by Efe news agency as saying.
Chile uses water from the river to supply mine operations and some northern towns.
In 2013, La Paz took the century-old dispute with Chile over access to the Pacific Ocean to the court, which has yet to rule on the issue.
Bolivia lost 400km (240 miles) of coast to Chile in a 19th-Century war and has been landlocked ever since. | President Enrique Pena Nieto's spokesman Eduardo Sanchez told the BBC that a "crusade" was needed to "re-establish the rule of law".
The students, all trainee teachers, went missing after attending a protest in Iguala in Guerrero State.
The official explanation is that the students were murdered by a drugs gang.
The gang was said to be in collusion with the mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, who has been arrested facing accusations that he ordered police to confront the students on the day of their disappearance on 26 September.
In the past decade, more than 100,000 people have been killed and 27,000 have disappeared in Mexico.
Thousands of people have taken part in protests over the disappearance of the students.
Mr Sanchez said the government wanted dialogue, but added that some groups had "taken advantage of the situation to provoke violent acts and that is absolutely inexcusable".
He said the government was working on reforms to re-establish the rule of law.
Mr Sanchez said: "We are aware that there is an institutional weakness in some local governments, where we need to work harder for them to uphold the rule of law, where citizens respect the authorities and the legislations." |
West Indies will meet Australia in their first World Twenty20 final after a six-run victory over New Zealand. | Media playback is not supported on this device
Britney Cooper hit a 48-ball 61 as West Indies made 143-6 batting first, while Sophie Devine picked up 4-22.
New Zealand began well in reply, but lost their leading run-scorers Devine and Suzie Bates in the seventh over.
Sara McGlashan and Amy Satterthwaite put on 59, but Stafanie Taylor's three late wickets proved crucial as the White Ferns subsided to 137-8.
West Indies, who have never won a global title in the women's game, will play Australia in Kolkata on Sunday in a rematch of the 2013 World Cup final.
They were indebted to a superb innings from number three Cooper, who did not play in West Indies' previous game and averaged just nine from 44 previous T20 internationals.
The defeat completes a double disappointment for New Zealand, whose men's team lost their semi-final against England on Wednesday - with both teams having come into those games unbeaten.
West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor: "We have been waiting for this for four years now and it's fantastic to be in a final. If we are consistent enough we can definitely win in the final."
New Zealand captain Suzie Bates: "Credit to the way West Indies batted, especially Britney Cooper who took the game away from us with a good performance. Probably 140 was too much - we thought we could do it, but we lost wickets at crucial times."
Media playback is not supported on this device | The 41-year-old, who led Yorkshire from the second division to consecutive County Championship titles, is returning to his native Australia.
Yorkshire will wait to appoint the successor to Gillespie - who took over in 2011 - after the season ends.
"Jason feels the close season is an appropriate time to part company," a Yorkshire statement said.
Gillespie's wife and their four children have recently returned to Australia, where the former fast bowler also coaches the Adelaide Strikers in Australia's Big Bash Twenty20 competition.
Gillespie's last match in charge will be the Division One match against Middlesex starting on 20 September, which could decide the County Championship title.
Second-placed Yorkshire, aiming to win three titles in a row for the first time since 1968, are just five points behind Middlesex with four matches left.
Both of Yorkshire's limited-overs campaigns in 2016 ended in semi-final defeats. They lost to Durham in the T20 Blast, and on Sunday lost to Surrey in the One-Day Cup.
In May last year, Gillespie held talks with England's director of cricket Andrew Strauss over replacing the sacked Peter Moores as national coach, before the role eventually went to Australian Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie was also linked with a coaching role with Australia earlier this summer and revealed he met head coach Darren Lehmann, but said at the time he was not offered a job and "wouldn't be applying for a role" either.
Yorkshire and England fast bowler Liam Plunkett told BBC Sport: "I'm sure it's a tough decision for him. He's a family man. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he's leaving is he wants to be with his family." |

Former world number four Robin Soderling has retired from tennis after suffering glandular fever since 2011. | The 31-year-old Swede, who became the first man to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open in 2009, has not recovered sufficiently to return to the sport.
Soderling reached the French Open finals of 2009 and 2010.
"I've realised that I will not be healthy enough to be able to play tennis at the level I demand of myself," Soderling told tennis.se.
"For that reason I have decided to end my career as a professional tennis player."
The Swede, who also reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and the US Open, had hoped to return to competitive action but has finally admitted defeat.
"A few weeks before the Swedish Open in Bastad in 2011 I became ill with glandular fever," added Soderling.
"Since I was not aware of the seriousness of this, I made the mistake of continuing to train and compete with the virus in my body, which resulted in a sharp overtraining syndrome. I have since struggled to recover completely from this.
"With the disease it has been impossible for me to train 100% and I was forced to rest after any physical effort. In some periods I felt so bad that I was completely bed-ridden.
"This past year, however, my health improved and I have been able to increase my exercise levels, but my recovery after exercise is unfortunately still not as I would like."
Soderling played his final match in July, 2011, beating Spain's David Ferrer to win the Swedish Open in Bastad. | The 37-year-old is top of the current Test batting rankings and fifth in the all-time list of Test run-scorers.
He will retire from one-day internationals after the forthcoming World Cup and is likely to be available for much of the 2015 county season.
"He is a five-star player and person and that is important because he will be working with our homegrown players," Surrey director Alec Stewart said.
Sangakkara, who is the fourth highest ODI run-scorer with 13,414, has previously played county cricket in England for Warwickshire and had a two-game spell with Durham last season, making 159 in his final innings.
"He is the number one Test batsman in the world but it's the special character that he has which is as important to us," Stewart added.
Sangakkara has agreed a two-year contract. |

Figures show that uptake among the eligible 60- to 74-year-old age group was 58% in 2012-15.
This compared with 72% for breast and 79% for cervical cancer screening.
The bowel cancer screening programme is much newer - it was only introduced in 2006.
The data - obtained via a parliamentary question - also showed regional variations.
Dorset had the highest uptake at 66% and West London the lowest at 42%.
Beating Bowel Cancer chief executive Mark Flannagan said: "We must do better than this.
"We know that bowel cancer screening saves lives by leading to early diagnosis yet in some areas fewer than half of those eligible are actually taking it up."
The tests, called faecal occult blood tests, are sent in the post to everyone in the target population every two years.
They help detect polyps, which are non-cancerous growths which may develop into cancer over time.
Polyps can bleed and the test identifies tiny amounts of blood that normally cannot be seen.
In the first four years of the programme, more than 7,000 cancers were detected and 40,000 patients had polyps removed.
Prof Julietta Patnick, director of the NHS Cancer Screening Programmes, said improving uptake remained a "priority". |

Thousands of Mongolians took to the streets of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, on Saturday to call for the government to take action on air pollution. | Protesters, some wearing face masks and holding black balloons, gathered as temperatures fell below -20C.
Ulaanbaatar, one of the world's coldest capitals, is also one of the most polluted cities in the world, according to the UN children's agency Unicef.
Many residents burn polluting fuels to keep their homes warm.
Some say they cannot afford the alternatives and have asked for state assistance.
One protester's banner read: "Wake up and smell the smog."
It is the second pollution protest during the current Mongolian winter.
In December, Mongolian environment and tourism minister Oyunkhorol Dulamsuren said that, between 2011 and 2015, the government spent more than $37m, plus $47m from international donors, on tackling air pollution.

The energy released is coupled to the energy requirement necessary for the resynthesis of ATP. | Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, contain their own DNA, which is thought to be inherited from their ancestor—a photosynthetic cyanobacterium that was engulfed by an early eukaryotic cell. |
Why are there so many sex scandals within the Catholic Church and not as many reported with other religions? | Doing a quick search will yield numerous sexual abuse cases involving other religions. Also if you are basing your sources off of western media sources then you need to remember that Catholicism is a much more popular religion than say Hinduism in major western societies which makes it a much more relevant topic to report. | Religions wanted as many followers as they could have, so they wanted their followers to have as many children as they could. They used guilt and shame to make people think the only time people should have sexual release is only when it was intended to make a baby. |

What's the difference between wisdom and intelligence? | “Knowledge (intelligence) is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.” ― Miles Kington | There are many different kinds of ways humans can demonstrate intelligence, so it's absurd to think that a single number could measure that. For example, someone may be a musical genius, but bad at spatial reasoning. Or someone may be excellent at math and spatial reasoning, but horrible that leading others. There are also people who think that the IQ tests are culturally biased. If you think that's a load of bunk, take this [fake IQ test](_URL_0_) based on Australian aboriginal society. Now compare it to [this one](_URL_1_) based on westernized norms. Do you see why the former test may do a better job of measuring intelligence in Australian aboriginals than the latter one? |

Hibernian and Rangers have been issued with notices of complaint by the Scottish FA's compliance officer in relation to the Scottish Cup final. | A pitch invasion took place after Hibs beat Rangers 3-2 on 21 May.
The clubs are alleged to have breached disciplinary rule 311, which states "damage was sustained to Hampden... as a consequence of misbehaviour by supporters".
They have until 6 September to respond to the notices of complaint.
Principal hearing dates have been set for Hibs on 4 October and Rangers on 5 October.
The compliance officer looked at the cup final incidents after the publication of Sheriff Principal Edward Bowen's independent report into the day's events.
The SFA requested that report following the pitch invasion which occurred after the match. The report, published earlier this month, concluded that the Scottish government should consider making it a criminal offence to run on to a football pitch.
Fans entered the pitch at Hampden after Hibernian won their first Scottish Cup in 114 years.
Thousands of Hibs fans jumped the barriers at the final whistle and a number of Rangers fans also came on to the pitch.
The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour by Hibs players.
Rangers players were not able to pick up their cup final medals. | The club was fined £350 and ordered to forfeit the match by a 3-0 scoreline.
Elebert was banned for one game from 19 December and Glenavon thought that was served by sitting out a reserve match.
The committee considered an appeal against the sanction but ruled that ultimate responsibility for ensuring player eligibility lies with the club.
The committee heard a challenge submitted by Glenavon, with both written and verbal submissions from the club and Association considered, in relation to a breach of Article 22.1 of the Irish FA Disciplinary Code, but this proved unsuccessful.
Glenavon FC have a right of appeal under Article 14 of the Irish FA's Articles of Association.
Elebert's suspension was imposed for accumulating five bookings, with three during reserve games.
The Mourneview Park club said the IFA cleared Elebert to play in the mid-Ulster derby on 26 December, which ended 2-2, but IFA rules state that bans apply to the "more senior team".
Elebert's fifth yellow card, which triggered the suspension, was picked up in a reserve fixture.
However, Rule 15.4 of the IFA Disciplinary Code states: "A player who receives cautions for more than 1 team within his club will have his cautions amalgamated and must serve any suspension......with the more senior team."
Glenavon added that they queried Elebert's eligibility with the Irish FA and he was only selected following its advice.
Portadown were themselves punished for fielding an eligible player against Ards earlier this season.
Robert Garrett scored in a 3-1 win but the midfielder was suspended for the game and the Ports forfeited the points while Ards were awarded a 3-0 victory. |

England's David Horsey won the Danish Open by two shots on Sunday to claim his fourth European Tour title. | The 30-year-old took a one-shot lead into the final day at Himmerland after rounds of 63, 67 and 68.
He then shot a 73 to finish 13-under-par and beat Terry Pilkadaris, Kristoffer Broberg, Daniel Gaunt and Soren Kjeldsen into tied second place.
Scotland's Paul Lawrie and Wales' Bradley Dredge both finished one shot further back on 10 under.
Stockport-born Horsey led from wire-to-wire, with Thursday's round including a 28 that equalled the lowest nine holes on the Tour this season.
Horsey shot three bogeys and one birdie in his last round, but it proved enough to hold off the challenge of Broberg.
The Swede climbed 50 places on the leaderboard after firing nine birdies in his final round.
It meant he carded a 62 on Sunday, but that left him two short of Horsey's 271 overall. | The 25-year-old Scot won the inaugural title with a 6-1 6-4 success against Stefan Olsson and begins his defence against the Swede on Thursday.
Reid is also the reigning doubles champion and again pairs up with England's Alfie Hewett.
"It feels great to be back, it gets the excitement flowing," said Reid.
"To be the first person to win the trophy was special and to retain it would be even better.
"I've got great memories but now it's about focusing on trying to do the same this year. I'll take it one match at a time.
"Stefan is in good form and enjoys playing on the grass, so it's not going to be an easy match at all."

Reid, who collected an MBE from the Queen in Edinburgh last week, added the first Wimbledon singles title to his Australian Open victory last year.
He began 2017 by collecting the doubles prize in Australia, completing the set of majors, with two previous French Open wins and US Open success in 2015.
"Singles-wise, this year has not been ideal but the doubles has been good," Reid told BBC Scotland.
"Hopefully, I can use this tournament to get some confidence for the second half of the season."
Reid, who also won Paralympic singles gold last year, recalls "drinking champagne with the Murray team" last year following Andy Murray's second Wimbledon title.
Murray has reached the last eight as he attempts to defend his title and Reid is aiming for another Scottish double, with the help of some superstition.
"I'm trying to get the same lucky number 13 locker as last year," he laughed.
"There's someone else in there, so I've reserved it for when they leave." |

who play brady black in days of our lives | Brady Black Brady Black is a character on the NBC Daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. Formerly portrayed by Kyle Lowder, the role of Brady has been portrayed by Eric Martsolf since 2008. Martsolf won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2014 for his role as Brady. | The 38-year-old led his team onto the field before throwing four touchdown passes in the season-opening game.
Brady had a four-game NFL ban - imposed after he was alleged to have colluded in the deflation of match balls - overturned by a judge last week.
"It was a pretty special night so I was excited," said quarterback Brady.
"It is always fun getting out there and getting the opportunity to play and we took advantage of it. It was a good win."
The NFL had banned Brady after investigating claims the Patriots had deflated balls to gain an advantage in January's 45-7 play-off victory over Indianapolis Colts.
That decision was last week overturned by US District Judge Richard M. Berman, who found "several significant legal deficiencies". |
