football-Diego Costa fights referee as Chelsea lose first game under Conte

– Diego Costa exhibited his usual anger in their game against Rapid Wien – Chelsea lost their first match under Antonio Conte 2-0 – The Blues will continue their build-up to the 2016/2017 season against Wolfsberger
Chelsea have lost their first game under new manager Antonio Conte. The Blues were beaten 2-0 in a friendly against Austrian side Rapid Wien, with Diego Costa getting furious just after 13 minutes. The very temperamental Costa charged at a player after he was fouled and also exhibited his usual anger towards the centre-referee. Goals from Joelinton and Tomi Correa saw the Austrians emerge victorious, as Chelsea lost their first pre-season game ahead of the 2016/2017 season. Chelsea started the Antonio Conte era with a disappointing 2-0 pre-season friendly defeat at Rapid Vienna on Saturday, July 16, at the Aliianz Stadium, Vienna. Recall that the Italian was chosen as the full-time successor to Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in December, with Guus Hiddink having led Chelsea to a 10th-place finish as interim boss during a disappointing Premier League title defence last season. Although, the Blues were without first-team regulars due to their participation at the just concluded Euro 2016,. A well-worked passing move on the edge of the penalty area resulted in Joelinton rounding the Chelsea goalkeeper and converting into the empty goal before teenage substitute Ola Aina almost levelled with a fortuitous cross-shot that evaded everyone and hit the right-hand post, but Rapid doubled the lead late on. Begovic pulled off a smart stop from Stefan Nutz, but there was nothing he could do to prevent Tomi poking in from close range. It ended Rapid Wien 2-0 Chelsea.

NAT GEO-EARTH FORMATION.

There are two theories as to how planets in the solar system were created. The first and most widely accepted, core accretion, works well with the formation of the terrestrial planets like Earth but has problems with giant planets. The second, the disk instability method, may account for the creation of giant planets. Scientists are continuing to study planets in and out of the solar system in an effort to better understand which of these methods is most accurate. The core accretion model Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump up. Small particles drew together, bound by the force of gravity, into larger particles. The solar wind swept away lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium, from the closer regions, leaving only heavy, rocky mater
