Hagel Peres
Israel had a few triumphs, this week, in its campaign to rebut charges that it spies in the U.S. It got a hearing with the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, it saw the removal of a roadblock to long-delayed legislation that would strengthen strategic cooperation between Israel and the U.S., and at a press conference in Tel Aviv, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said he was “not aware of any facts that would substantiate” Newsweek’s reports on Israeli spying against the United States.

Turkey mine disaster: Tear gas fired at Soma protesters

 
Turkish police have fired tear gas and water cannon at thousands of protesters in the eastern town of Soma, where some 300 miners died on Tuesday.

The demonstrators in the town shouted anti-government slogans.
The protest occurred after the mine operators held a news conference to deny any negligence over the disaster.
There have been angry anti-government rallies across Turkey for the last three days over what has become the country's worst-ever mine disaster.
An explosion sent carbon monoxide gas into the mine's tunnels while 787 miners were underground.
Up to 18 are still missing. Another 363 escaped, while 122 are injured.
'Unexplained' Several thousand demonstrators gathered in the centre of Soma on Friday, shouting: "People of Soma, show your solidarity with the miners."

Unique long-necked dinosaur discovered in Argentina

Scientists say fossils found in Argentina's Patagonia region provide the first evidence that a family of long-necked, whip-tailed dinosaurs survived beyond the Jurassic period, when they were thought to have gone extinct 
 
The find suggests Diplodocid Sauropods roamed South America during the early Cretaceous era. It also suggests they evolved from other dinosaurs before the Earth's continents split apart, which is earlier than previously thought.
Pablo Gallina and his team of Argentine paleontologists say the 19 vertebrae they recovered belong to a new species of Diplodocid they named "Leikupal laticauda."
That's a combination of native Mapuche words for "vanishing" and "family" and Latin for "wide" and "tail".
The team held a news conference in Buenos Aires Thursday after their conclusions were published in the PLOS ONE journal.

Throwing snails 20 metres away may save your plant

New research has shown that snails lose their ability to find their way back to a garden if tossed more than 65 feet away 

 Frustrated gardeners often deploy a range of imaginative strategies to tackle snails and slugs, including chemical pellets, beer traps, egg shells and simply stamping on the creatures 

Gardeners struggling to protect their plants from snails should develop a strong throwing arm to tackle the pests.
New research has shown that throwing snails at least 65 feet out of the garden is as beneficial as killing the molluscs.
Scientists found snails placed within a 20 metre (65 feet) radius can use a "homing instinct" to find their way back to a a patch of ground while those moved further away almost always failed to find their way back.
It comes after a recent survey showed that a fifth of gardners admit to lobbing snails over the fence into a neighbour's garden.
Frustrated gardeners often deploy a range of imaginative strategies to tackle snails and slugs, including chemical pellets, beer traps, egg shells and simply stamping on the creatures.
