A Minneapolis fire has resulted in the death of three children and displaced the other residents living in the duplex. Five other residents were injured and transported to the hospital, while one firefighter also sustained injuries on the scene. Officials report there were a total of 15 people living in the three story duplex and the home is destroyed, leaving them all displaced.
The Minneapolis fire started sometime before 5 am Friday morning, when a father of seven children living the duplex called 911. One of the residents, Taleaha Cox, told KARE-TV that there were two total families living in the home and were suddenly awakened by the fire. Cox told reporters that the father was raising the children alone, after their mother passed away recently. Cox said her little brother woke her up because of the smell of smoke and screaming coming from upstairs.
Minneapolis Fire Chief John Fruetel reported the children's death to reporters outside the home, where more than 40 firefighters responded to the call. As smoke billowed out of the top two stories of the home, Fruetel reported that the situation escalated much quicker than would be expected. Soon, a full blown three alarm fire was ravaging the home.
This most recent fire is reminiscent of another terrible tragedy that occurred in early January. An explosion at a Minneapolis apartment forced people to jump out of windows. The New Year's Day explosion is still fresh in the minds of emergency crews.
While the Minneapolis fire has been completely put out, responders will be dealing with clean up and investigation for the rest of the day.

O instrumento Urey , ou Urey: Detector de Oxidante Orgânico de Marte, foi um instrumento para o desenvolvimento de espaço-naves para a detecção de compostos orgânicos, incluindo aminoácidos .

Visão global
Foi financiado pela NASA e testado no deserto de Atacama no início dos anos 2000.  O Urey foi selecionado pela NASA para desenvolvimento adicional em apoio a ExoMars ou qualquer futura missão a Marte que pudesse usar o Urey juntamente com o Analizador de Mulecolas Orgânico de Marte, ou Moma em 2007, financiado com 1,5 milhões de dólares totais (750k cada).  O Urey foi um conjunto de instrumentos que se baseou em 15 anos de pesquisa para detectar moléculas orgânicas .  O Urey é um projeto para detecção de biomarcadores in situ e foi testado no início dos anos 2000.  O dispositivo também estudaria os misteriosos oxidantes em Marte regolito.

O Urey foi anteriormente incluído no rover ExoMars em uma de suas iterações, e teria procurado compostos orgânicos em rochas e solos marcianos como evidência de vida passada e / ou química prebiótica. Começando com uma extração de água quente, apenas os compostos solúveis são deixados para análise posterior. A sublimação e a eletroforese capilar possibilitam a identificação de aminoácidos. A detecção seria por fluorescência induzida por laser, uma técnica altamente sensível, capaz de sensibilidade de partes por trilhão.  Essas medições seriam feitas com uma sensibilidade mil vezes maior do que o experimento Viking GCMS e aumentariam significativamente nossa compreensão da química orgânica dos solos marcianos . O  Urey seguiria os resultados do Viking, que eram inclusivos e apenas amostravam a superfície muito próxima.

O Urey havia sido selecionado por um tempo para estar na carga Pasteur do ExoMars, no entanto, foi desenvolvido para qualquer missão a Marte, não necessariamente ExoMars e foi financiado de forma independente pela NASA.

Um dos componentes do Urey foi o Mars Oxidant Instrument (MOI) e foi desenvolvido pelo Ames Research Center da NASA.

Suíte Urey:

 Extrator de Água Subcrítica
 Detector Orgânico Mars
 Instrumento de Eletroforese Micro-Capilar
 Instrumento Oxidante de Marte

Nome
O Urey foi nomeado em homenagem a Harold Clayton Urey (1893 - 1981) por suas contribuições para a química e outros estudos, incluindo a conquista do Prêmio Nobel de Química em 1934.

Guide for the hero Batman, a character in Arena of Valor (AoV). Included are Batman's abilities, statistics, attributes, strengths, weaknesses, and more.
When Batman approaches an enemy hero, his movement speed increases by 20%.
As long as Batman stays near the enemy, his movement speed remains permanently increased by 20%. It appears as strokes of wind brushing off his back.
Batman attacks with his forearm blades and deals 215/260/305/350/395/440 (+0.85 AD)ˀ physical damage to nearby enemies. One random enemy will take double damage.
Batman launches an explosive Batarang that deals 165/186/207/228/249/270 (+0.58 AD) physical damage to enemies and reduces their movement speed. The target will receive additional physical damage equal to 24% of their lost HP after 3 seconds. Enemies hit are stunned if attacked by Batman again, and Batman restores 140/168/196/224/252/280 (+0.5 AD) HP.
Damage done is based on the total amount of health missing from effected hero at time of damage calculation.
Batman conceals himself behind a colony of bats and becomes invisible after 1.5 seconds. Invisibility last for 30 seconds unless Batman stays within 6 units of an enemy hero for more than 3 seconds. If the ability is used again during invisibility, he will fly towards the target direction, dealing 660/830/1000 (+1.88 AD) Physical damage to enemies in his path. He gains 50% attack speed for 5 seconds after coming out of invisibility. Batman cannot be selected during flight if this ability is activated again while invisible.
The damaging effect of Dark Knight can be cast before the stealth effect has begun.
While the ability reads as 6 units, this is a mistranslation. The stealth effect will end should Batman stay within 6 meters, or 600 units, of an enemy hero for more than 3 seconds.
The damaging effect of Dark Knight can stsill be cast after exiting stealth so long as the 30 second timer has not expired.
Use Batman's Dark Knight to get close to enemies, then look for protection opportunities from allies and mount a surprise attack. Activate Dark Knight again to deal a quick burst of damage. You can also activate Dark Knight while in the brush to prevent enemies from detecting Batman on the mini-map and escaping.
Our recommended order for Batman abilities as he levels up.

Confidential File
Fourth Shenanigans Shock Monarchist
I trust this raucous celebration can be considered at an end until next July the Fourth.
Now then, if the parades have run their routes, the Elks' bands have laid up their wind instruments, the bunting has been swept away, the lemonade jugs have been drunk dry and the din of the last cherry bomb has faded, I can tell you.
I can tell you that I have little patience with all this unrestrained enthusiasm.
To me, it represents a shocking display.
Well, if you must know, old man, I'm a monarchist.
Not a militant one. Just a rather wistful, sentimental one.
And it pains me deeply, every year at this time, to note the extraordinary behavior of the colonists.
Really, it is quite bad form to make such a public spectacle of one's feelings over an unfortunate misunderstanding that happened so long ago.
It just isn't the sort of thing one does.
At least, this one doesn't.
I spend my Fourth of July feeling rather sad that we were unable or unwilling to find some gentlemanly course for agreement with our ruler, George III.
Grant you, he was a stuffy old duck. But he was not unapproachable.
And the whole ugly mess might have been resolved to everyone's satisfaction if we had been guided by calmer heads. Instead we engaged in that atrociously ill-mannered Boston Tea Party and allowed ourselves to be swayed by the histrionics of such malcontents as Patrick Henry.
However, that's all water under the bridge, as the saying goes. I suppose there really isn't much we can do about it now. Unless, of course, there are enough of us and we all band together.
My dedication to the crown is not totally free of emotional entanglement. The fact is, I am secretly in love with the queen.
And I hope she's happy with Philip. Although, frankly, I fail to see how anyone could be happy married to a man whose idea of a ruddy good joke is to turn the lawn sprinklers on unsuspecting newspaper photogs.
While it may be presumptuous of me to say so, Her Royal Highness is my kind of a girl.
She's got -- how shall I put it? Real class!
I love the way she looks, the way she walks and the way she talks.
And the way she talks, incidentally, is another reason that I am an Anglophile.
Lost Our Language
It is my sincere belief that when we won our independence, we lost our language.
A people who once paid solemn homage to the King's English have been miserably reduced to speaking in a slack-jawed drawl.
It didn't happen immediately, you understand. It has been a gradual, insidious process. But over the years our speech has become infected by an epidemic of double negatives and worse which crept stealthily up from the bayous, down from the Ozarks, in from the Panhandle and out from the Bronx.
The carrier has been the popular song. And the sickness first came over us, at least in my time, with a grammatical abortion called "I Ain't Got Nobody."
This was followed in quick succession with "Yes, We Have No Bananas," "Ain't She sweet?" "Them There Eyes," "Is You Is, or Is You Ain't My Baby?" "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More" and, recently, a sloppily insensible ballad called "Throw Mamma From the Train a Kiss."
You see my point, I'm sure. If we were still part of the empire such things could never happen.
And that peculiar Tennessee Teddy Boy, Elvis Presley, would be obliged to sing it, "You Aren't Anything but a Hound Dog."
"It may not have much of a beat that way, but it's proper, by gad.

LOS ANGELES (AP) DeMar DeRozan has stuck with the Toronto Raptors for 600 games because of exactly what he did to the Lakers.
Lonzo Ball had five points, six assists and seven rebounds on his 20th birthday for the Lakers, who haven't beaten Toronto since 2014. Brook Lopez led the Lakers to a 17-point lead in the first half, but the Raptors erased it in roughly seven minutes spanning halftime.
Julius Randle scored 18 points for Los Angeles, while rookie Kyle Kuzma had 15 and Lopez added 13. The Lakers went 3 for 23 on 3-pointers, undercutting the ball movement and pace stressed by Walton's offense.
Raptors: C Jonas Valanciunas missed his third straight game with a sprained left ankle. … Lucas Nogueira missed his second consecutive game, also with a sprained left ankle. … Starting forward Norman Powell is a San Diego native who attended UCLA.
Lakers: All four University of Utah products currently in the NBA were at this game: Kuzma and Andrew Bogut for Los Angeles, and Toronto's Jakob Poeltl and Delon Wright. … Los Angeles Rams LT Andrew Whitworth watched the game at courtside. So did 94-year-old comic book creator Stan Lee.


In the aftermath of the United States' withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), more commonly known as the Iranian Nuclear Deal, talks concerning a renegotiated agreement between the US and Iran have emerged as perhaps a lone means to save the pillars of the original deal. As US President Donald Trump announced his decision to rescind the United States' commitment to the pact, much of the world, (Iranian diplomats in particular), has looked toward Oman to once-again play a mediating role between the two nations. Omani intermediaries have already achieved several positive outcomes in serving this function, and, until Trump's pull-out, the Omanis looked to the JCPOA as a crowning achievement. Prior to the nuclear negotiations, Oman had a track record of successful diplomatic endeavors, having helped secure the release of American prisoners held in Iran in 2009, as well as on several occasions decreasing tensions between Tehran and Riyadh. However, Oman's various efforts at mediation between the US and Iran have been stalled by hardliners in both nations who believe confrontation, as opposed to diplomacy, represents the best approach of protecting economic and geopolitical interests.
Within the context of heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi visited Washington D.C where he met with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense James Mattis. The Omani visit was preceded by an overture to Muscat by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif earlier that month. Considering the previous role of Oman in harboring the first rounds of JCPOA talks between the US and Iran, the Omani FM's visit has raised hopes about a possible Omani role in reducing tension between the two nations and reviving US-Iranian back-channels.
Within the tense environment of the Gulf region, the Sultanate of Oman treads a path of neutrality and noninterference in the domestic affairs of other nations. This impartial stance has given Oman special leverage to mediate several conflicts in the Gulf region and has been the cornerstone of Omani diplomacy since Sultan Qaboos came to power in July 1970. Such a strategy was best exemplified in the late 1970s when Oman differed from the rest of the Arab nations and refused to see Egypt's signing of the Camp David peace agreement with Israel as a justification for the Arab League's subsequent boycott. Oman considered the deal a sovereign decision that was Cairo's alone to make. Even after the Arab Spring, Oman remained neutral toward much of the civil unrest and armed conflicts in Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Syria that had enticed the involvement of some of Oman's Gulf neighbors.
In the realm of the Gulf region, Oman has also remained above the fray of routine disputes between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The fact that Oman and Iran share control of the Strait of Hormuz increases Muscat's geopolitical clout, furthering its role as a regional mediator between Riyadh and Tehran. Geography's fate has created shared political and economic interests between Muscat and Tehran, thusly making the maintenance of good relations between the two rivals a key national security interest for the Sultanate. Crafters of Omani foreign policy have long recognized the potential of this geopolitical reality to act as an entrance for maintaining peace and dialogue between Iran and those of its neighbors that remain critical of the Islamic Republic's actions in the greater Middle East, namely Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Sultanate's approach to the ongoing conflict in Yemen exemplifies its tendency to refrain from interference in regional affairs. Unlike the other five members of the GCC, Muscat refused to join the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen against the Iran-backed Houthis. The neutrality of Omani diplomacy can again be seen in its decision to buck the regional trend and keep its embassy in Sana'a after it fell to Houthi rebels in Spring 2015. The other GCC nations moved their embassies to the coastal city of Aden, which remains in the hands of the legitimate Hadi government. Rather than pick a side in the conflict, Oman instead chose to serve as mediator. Indeed, an initiative led by the Sultanate focusing on an enforcement of a truce to reduce causalities and pave the road for the talks appears to have been working. According to reports, US officials had held direct talks with Houthi leaders in Oman during Obama's tenure.
Dubbed the "Switzerland of the Gulf," Oman's particularly peaceful tactics have recently been met with irritation on the part of Washington, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. Muscat's closer relations with Tehran, (which received praise from the Obama administration for helping facilitate the release of Americans imprisoned in Tehran), have become a point of contention between Washington and Muscat since the start of Trump's tenure. During his visit to Riyadh for the US Islamic Summit, Trump cancelled his meeting with the Omani delegation despite meeting with other delegations and leaders of the GCC. Soon after, the United States cut its defense assistance to Oman by a third. The Saudi and Emirati governments later accused Oman of allowing the smuggling of weapons into Yemen through its territories, citing an incident in which truckloads of weapons with Omani license plates were discovered in Yemen. The accusation was denied by the Sultanate's officials who, in typical Omani fashion, encouraged a collaborative investigation into the matter.
These threatening exchanges were accompanied by two major incidents in the Gulf region that directly impacted global oil and energy routes. First, several Iranian officials threatened to close the Hormuz strait. Second, an Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen targeted a Saudi oil carrier in the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb. These incidents occurred within the sphere of Oman's national security and, if the situation were to escalate, would immediately impact Oman and the other Arab Gulf states. Both waterways are used to ship more than 40% of global oil production. Thus, Iranian military action, or any military conflict in the Gulf for that matter, could double oil prices and disrupt both industrialized and developing economies. This shared risk will hopefully deter all involved from pursuing military action and motivate Asian and European powers to promote and support a diplomatic solution.
The last few months evidenced Washington's insistence on pursuing sanctions as the most viable strategy toward containing the ambitions of Iran, exemplified in Pompeo's list of demands from Tehran. The rise of hardliners against Iran in Washington, as seen by the appointment of US National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in March 2018, could be a major challenge for the Gulf region in general and for Oman's national security in particular as it has increased the likelihood of an Iranian confrontation. In their previous posts both men called for military action against Iran's nuclear sites. Given Bolton's and Pompeo's fierce opposition to Iran's role in the region and its nuclear ambitions, securing channels between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime will not be an easy task for the Omani diplomats.
Although Iran denies any willingness to resume negotiations with the Trump administration, the daily decline of the Iranian economy and the need for Tehran to protect its vital industries may undermine the country's apparent stubbornness. The Iranian Riyal has lost more than half of its value against the dollar in just three months, resulting in a wave of civil unrest throughout the country. At the same time, given Iran's long experience in evading sanctions, it is unlikely that new embargoes will result in the kind of economic pressures that the US desires. Therefore, such a situation likely means both nations will eventually resort to negotiations, leaving the two camps reliant on the Omani-controlled communication channels that proved so effective in the negotiations of years past.
