Six Turkish soldiers killed, eight injured in mine blast in Southeast
ISTANBUL - Six Turkish soldiers were killed and eight others were injured when a landmine planted by the terrorist PKK exploded in the southeastern part of the country, the military said on Thursday. (UPDATED)
The blast occurred at 11:40 p.m. (GMT 20:40) on Wednesday when the soldiers' military vehicle struck a remotely controlled landmine on a road in the Cukurca district of the southeastern province of Hakkari, the Turkish military said in a statement posted on its website.
One of the injured was in serious condition, Hakkari Governor Muammer Turker said.
Turkish troops, backed by helicopters, launched an offensive near the Iraqi border against PKK terrorists after the blast, news agencies said.
It was the heaviest toll suffered by Turkish soldiers since a bomb explosion killed nine soldiers at the end of April.
The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq and frequently uses remote-control landmines to target the country's security forces, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States
The robotic explorer has now found similar signs of past water in Victoria, a crater some 3.5 miles (6 kilometers) away.
Opportunity also spotted unique rock layers in the sides of Victoria Crater, which are likely the petrified remnants of ancient sand dunes.
The new findings confirm suspicions that water once shaped the Martian landscape on a regional scale instead of forming isolated oases, said rover project leader Steven Squyres of Cornell University in New York State.
"Given that we've seen the same stuff at places that are miles apart, it is a reasonable conjecture that those processes operated over most of this region," Squyres said.
Many scientists consider water to be a vital ingredient for life, Squyres noted.
Got the Job Done
The decision to send Opportunity down into Victoria Crater was one the rover team wrestled with for a long time in 2006.
Rough terrain leading into the crater could have damaged the aging probe's steering system or broken its wheels.
At the time, mission managers were worried that any damage would mean Opportunity would never make it back out of Victoria Crater.
But the risky maneuver has proved well worth it, Squyres said. Opportunity clambered safely out of the crater last August and is now trekking to Endeavor, an even larger crater some 8 miles (13.5 kilometers) away.

Energy GeneratioN
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is using less energy to provide the same level of energy service. Efficiency often has taken a secondary position to new power generation as a solution to global warming in creating national energy policy.With companies people should conribute this solution.There are some steps to generate energy in our daily life.First,people should find out about your options for generating energy. For instance people can read about the different ways to generate your own energy on our renewable technologies pages and see which technologies might suit your daily life with our energy selector tool - coming soon. Second step is, You'll need to decide: which technology to use, what size system to install, which installer and products to use and how to pay for the installation. Whlie doing this stage you can see what products are available - research local suppliers and installers online and give them a call to find out more. After that you should decide what you will choose ; Electricity or heating. Depending on which you choose, there are other things to thing about; Electricity: is your home connected to the National Grid? If so, think about selling your own energy. If not, you'll need to research the best way to store electricity. Heating: is your current heating system compatible with the installation? Could you be more efficient with another type of system, such as under floor heating? Get opinions from a range of certified installers. Finally you should make your decision. The final details to nail down before you go ahead.you should make your daily need energy efficient by installing insulation, double glazing and draught-proofing - this will ensure you get the most out of your renewable technology. You should make sure you have warranties on your products and installation - it will add to your peace of mind and could cut your future costs. To find out more, talk to your installer. After your installation,you ought to check with your insurance provider to make sure your policy covers the changes to your home or work where you will make it and make any adjustments you need.
