Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission BREAKOUT is coming to Disney California Adventure
July 23, 2016 By Daniel Hale
Disney Press Release
The Guardians of the Galaxy are coming to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
Beginning summer 2017, guests at Disney California Adventure Park will join in a daring confrontation with one of the most unusual characters in the park's history: Tanaleer Tivan, the Collector. He has opened his unique collection of fauna, relics and species to guests for a special tour culminating with his latest prized possessions: the Guardians of the Galaxy, themselves! Fortunately, Rocket has a plan to free his friends – and that plan includes recruiting Disneyland Resort guests in a sensational rescue effort.
This comically cosmic, rocking new adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is the result of a collaboration between the creative minds behind the comic books, the films and Walt Disney Imagineering. The attraction will drop guests directly into the story alongside characters from the comic books and the blockbuster films.
Joe Rohde, Portfolio Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering, is leading the project. He shared this preview of the new attraction: "The setting is a kind of fortress that's owned by the mysterious Collector and it's packed with creatures and his latest acquisitions from across the universe. Now he has imprisoned the Guardians of the Galaxy and they're hanging in display cases over a giant abyss. The captor doesn't know it but Rocket Raccoon has escaped and is enlisting our aid—all the guests—to help the Guardians in a breakout scheme. And the rest is comical chaos; a very funny, very irreverent story and a really wonderful addition to Disney California Adventure."
"It's such a thrill to be working alongside a true visionary like Joe Rohde and the entire Walt Disney Imagineering team," said Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. "Like our stories and characters, projects led by Joe are the stuff of legend, so Marvel fans rejoice! The universe couldn't be in better hands! Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is going to be an out of this world experience and what has me even more excited are Joe's 'secret' plans for the future. We're just getting warmed up."
The announcement was made today at San Diego Comic-Con by Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, who said: "The incredibly talented Disney Imagineering team has found a way to harness the spirit which drove Guardians of the Galaxy's success to create this immersive experience. With its debut timed to the release of the film's sequel, we are eager to present the attraction to the millions who visit Disney California Adventure and place them in the center of the action as they join in a mission alongside our audacious Guardians of the Galaxy team."
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! takes place in the fortress-like museum of the mysterious Collector, who has trapped his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy. One member of the group, the intrepid Rocket, has escaped, and he calls upon brave visitors for help. Guests board a gantry lift which launches them into a daring adventure as they join Rocket in an attempt to set free his fellow Guardians.
The new attraction will anchor a broader universe of Super Heroes that will grow over time in Disney California Adventure Park. Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! will transform the structure currently housing The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ into an epic new adventure, enhancing the breathtaking free fall sensation with new visual and audio effects to create a variety of ride experiences. Guests will experience multiple, random and unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift rocks to the beat of music inspired by the film's popular soundtrack.
Fans of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will want to experience the attraction from now until its final "drop day," which will be celebrated in true Disney fashion in early January.

Nationals Member for Lismore Thomas George spoke passionately in Parliament last week on the importance of palliative care services.
In his speech to the House, Mr George asked that the efforts of palliative care throughout the State be recognised and stressed how the service offered many things.
"It affirms life and treats dying as a normal process; it neither hastens nor postpones death; it provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms; it integrates the physical, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual aspects of care with coordinated assessment and management of each person's need; it offer a support to help the family cope during the person's illness and in their bereavement; and it also offers a support system that enables people to stay in their own home for those last crucial days, hours and minutes," he said.
Sadly, Mr George also noted how funding cutbacks made by the State Labor Government in 2009 had meant the loss of a palliative care social worker position based out of St Vincent's Hospital, Lismore.
The loss of this part-time position, which had serviced 100 patients a month, has left many people in the region stripped of the benefits palliative care offers.
"People in country and regional areas do not always have access to transport; they rely on social workers to visit them," he said.
In noting this however, Mr George paid tribute to all those involved with palliative care throughout the North Coast Area Health Service, and in particular the team of dedicated staff operating out of Lismore's St Vincent's Hospital, headed by Dr Joanne Doran, the Palliative Care Physician and Director of Palliative Care for the North Coast Area Health Service.
"On behalf of all members of the House, I say thank you to everyone associated with palliative care in this State," he said.


Therapy may be different depending on the goals for therapy and the needs of the person. Typically speaking, we will discuss the things that are currently happening in your life, things that happened in the past that are relevant to your issue, and review the gains we've had from the previous session. Ultimately, I want to help you bring what you've discovered or learned during therapy back into your daily life.
The therapist suspects the client is in danger of harming themselves or has threatened to harm another person.

10 Craziest Uses Of Vehicles In Wrestling History
http://www.thesportster.com/wrestling/top-20-coolest-rides-in-wrestling-history/ Source: TheSportster.com
There's just something about pro wrestling and vehicular mayhem that just goes together. The sheer total of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other various modes of transportation that have been defaced or destroyed in a number of different ways over the years by wrestling organizations is staggering, and the amount spent on those often extremely expensive vehicles would probably put a dent in the biggest budget. But for some reason, when wrestling wants to up the ante, you can bet we'll see a vehicle involved in some way, as they were in the following infamous examples.
10. The White Hummer Mystery
Ah yes, the case of the white HumVee which destroyed a limousine containing WCW Champion Kevin Nash, a master plan set up by Randy Savage that was a mystery worthy of a Nancy Drew novel. Or maybe an episode of Scooby-Doo. WCW literally a year teasing who had actually been driving the vehicle, mostly by showing footage of who it wasn't. Included on the list of false suspects were Sid, Hulk Hogan, Sting (who was shown driving a black Hummer, because "wrestling continuity" is an oxymoron), and former Baywatch star Carmen Electra. No, we're not kidding. Anyway, this kept going long past the reasonable point of when they should have resolved the entire thing, until everyone basically gave up and moved on. In fact, it was never actually explicitly stated who drove the Hummer, although long after anyone might have remotely cared, WCW basically implied that it was Eric Bischoff by showing him driving a similar vehicle. You could argue that this made absolutely no sense, as he was Nash's ally at the time, but then again, we are talking about WCW here.

10 Most Ridiculous Gimmick Matches In Wrestling History
Ronda Rousey Will Get a Title Shot In Her Second WWE Match
9. Shane Sends Kane To Hell
The war between Kane and Shane McMahon in mid-2003 was ridiculous for a lot of reasons, most of all because it turned Shane McMahon into a seemingly indestructible badass who actually could go toe-to-toe with the unmasked monster Kane, something no actual wrestler had done up to that point. But even sillier was the ways in which Kane and Shane tried to destroy each other, which included Shane kicking Kane into a flaming dumpster, and an infamous Raw moment where Kane handcuffed Shane to a ringpost, then hooked his testicles up to a car battery. But most relevant to this particular topic would be a moment that was replayed as part of the Raw intro montage for years, as Shane lured Kane into a parking lot backstage, eventually hiding inside a limousine. Somehow, when Kane entered the limo, Shane managed to subdue him, escape, then rig the limo to drive straight into a nearby production truck (via the old "brick on the gas pedal" trick), shearing off the roof of the limo and, presumably, injuring Kane in some way. You know, unless he was lying on the floor of the limo, in which case, he was probably fine. And as a bonus for this list, the entire feud ended in an Ambulance Match, where you win by throwing your opponent into an ambulance and letting it drive away.

8. Foley Wins With A Forklift
Most wrestling fans remember the glorious match when Mick Foley won his first WWE Title on Raw in Worchester, Massachusetts, because it's one of the greatest moments in wrestling history. It's likely, however, that few will recall the ridiculous circumstances in which he earned his second WWE Title reign only a few weeks later. In a gimmick that WWE has never attempted again, Mankind faced The Rock in an Empty Arena Match, during an episode of Sunday Night Heat which aired during halftime of the Super Bowl in 1999. For some reason, WWE tried to shoot parts of this match, which was mostly played for comedy (in part because Foley was still recovering from injuries he'd suffered during the infamous "I Quit" Match at the Royal Rumble, but also because it was being broadcast to a mainstream audience), like a cinematic film, which is what gave us a truly unique, and incredibly cheesy, finish to the match. In a final attempt to pin The Rock and win back the WWE Title he'd lost at the Rumble, Foley commandeered a forklift carrying a pallet of beer kegs, which he then lowered onto The Rock, holding The Great One down and allowing Foley to gain the victory. The silly part comes when WWE decided to film a shot that was, essentially, a first-person view from the pallet's perspective as it was lowered onto The Rock, capturing his groggy realization of what was happening. When the match aired (it was pre-taped ahead of time), many people, including Foley himself, chided WWE for the shot, saying that it broke the suspension of disbelief and ruined their immersion in the match.

7. Kurt Angle, Bike Enthusiast
So Kurt Angle has always been a bit of a dork, although one that can wrestle like a maniac and will break your ankle if he deems it necessary. And a great example of Angle walking that line between just plain goofy and a great heel is exemplified in a run-in he had with the Undertaker in 2000. You see, Angle was backstage celebrating a victory at a catering table by throwing food everywhere, and some of it ended up on The Undertaker's motorcycle (remember, we're deep in American Bad Ass territory at this point). Frankly, it was Taker's own fault for parking his bike in the middle of catering, but Kurt still tried to make up for what was clearly an accident, offering to replace Undertaker's ride with a better one. So, the next week on Raw, Angle rode out on an environmentally-friendly, fuel-efficient, little white scooter, as a gift for The Undertaker. Obviously, Taker was not amused, and he chased Angle away before destroying the scooter. Which, since it was a gift, meant that Undertaker was actually breaking his own property, but if you think about things like this too hard, you'll go insane.

6. The DX Army
Despite what WWE has told you for years, every piece of footage clearly shows that D-Generation X didn't actually drive a tank down to WCW Headquarters, it was just a military jeep. Still, the sheer balls that it took to drive any vehicle down to not only an arena that was currently hosting Nitro, but also WCW headquarters in Atlanta (people often forget, the DX invasion took place over several weeks in different locations, although they got less interesting as the threat of legal action from Time Warner increased, which is probably why they stopped), was still quite impressive. While the DX invasion may not have actually accomplished anything other than looking cool, that was kind of the point, as it instantly changed the narrative in regards to WCW, which had become the place where "cool" things happened regularly, and made WWE look like the new location for all things cutting edge. Granted, it didn't suddenly shift the balance of power between the companies (no matter what WWE revisionist history might tell you), but it was still a significant part of the Monday Night Wars, as it signified the moment where WWE starting swinging back against the WCW juggernaut that had been burying them for months.

5. The nWo Destroys An Ambulance
In a seemingly desperate attempt to recapture the glory of the Monday Night Wars, Vince McMahon brought in Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall, and attempted to reform the New World Order in WWE as the chaotic force of destruction that had pushed WCW to new heights (and also was partially responsible for WCW not being around anymore, but it was the good parts that Vince chose to focus on). To that end, WWE tried to re-create some of their original backstage assaults on other wrestlers, which had made the group so intimidating in its original incarnation. In the most infamous moment of the nWo's brief time in WWE, they took down The Rock in a brutal attack that saw him stretchered out of the arena and taken away in an ambulance. Then, the nWo ambushed the ambulance, locked The Rock inside, and Hulk Hogan drove an eighteen-wheeler into it, crushing the emergency vehicle in a shower of sparks and blatant pyrotechnics. And then The Rock showed up a week later with a bandage over his ribs, because he's a real-life action movie hero. WWE actually used video footage of the stunt as part of the Raw opening video montage for years, despite most people mocking how dumb the whole thing was.

4. Vince's Limousine Explodes
This has to take some sort of award for the most over-the-top explosion ever seen on WWE TV, and this is a company that uses pyrotechnics to open their weekly TV show. In fact, the entire setup for Vince getting blown up inside his limo (don't worry, the plan was supposed to be that he'd faked his death) was so ridiculous that wrestler Paul London allegedly got fired because he couldn't stop grinning like an idiot on TV while Vince was making his walk of shame towards his vehicle. We have to give WWE credit for genuinely creating a surprising moment, as it seemed like all we were going to get was Vince getting into his limo and driving away as Raw went off the air. Actually, in retrospect, we probably should have been more suspicious of the face that the camera lingered on Vince for so long, making sure that without a shadow of a doubt, he was inside the limo just before it exploded in a massive ball of fire. Of course, we never got to see the aftermath of this stunt, thanks to it being cancelled due to the Chris Benoit incident, which probably saved us from weeks of the explosion being replayed ad nauseam on WWE TV, to the point that we might have started hoping that Vince actually had died.

3. Sumo Monster Truck Match!
As if we weren't going to talk about WCW and their disproportionately huge love of monster trucks. Honestly, it's half the reason why we came up with this list. Over the years, it seems like WCW spent an inordinate amount of time and money featuring monster trucks on their wrestling show. And by far the silliest use of these gas-guzzling, car-crushing monstrosities was the absolutely ridiculous Sumo Monster Truck Match, in which two trucks, representing WCW Champion Hulk Hogan and the newly-debuting Giant, tried to push each other out of a circle in a display of power and strength that you can only get from two over-sized trucks pretending to ram each other (according to monster truck enthusiasts, it was apparently very easy to tell that the match was "worked"). The entire thing took place on top of a nearby building, which allowed for post-match shenanigans that saw Hogan "accidentally" knock The Giant off the roof, putting their title match later that evening in jeopardy. Oh, and Hogan's truck won, which shouldn't shock anybody, although things would not go as well for Hogan in his title match, as The Giant (dripping with water, the implication being that he had survived by landing in Lake Michigan) would win the WCW World Title in his very first match after Hogan was disqualified (don't ask, it's complicated).

2. Who Hit Stone Cold?
The biggest mystery to grip WWE in its entire existence was the identity of the driver of the car which ran down Steve Austin before the 1999 Survivor Series PPV (in reality, Austin would be out for an entire year having neck surgery, but WWE had advertised his presence in the main event of the show anyway). When Austin finally came back and demanded to know who had dared to hit him with a car, Commissioner Mick Foley begged him for time to find the culprit, rather than let Austin run wild on the show in the guise of investigating. What followed was a series of red herrings, logical leaps, and retcons of past events which eventually revealed that Rikishi had been the man who had attempted vehicular homicide on Austin, in a heel turn absolutely nobody had asked for, and which never really led to anything good. As part of the feud which followed, Austin and Rikishi would trade further attempts on each others life with an assortment of vehicles, before finally settling it in the ring, and ultimately revealing that Triple H was behind the whole plot all along, mostly because the feud was dying a quick death and they made a last-ditch attempt to save it by inserting one of Austin's greatest enemies.

1. Anytime Steve Austin Drives Anything
Frankly, we could have made the entire list about the things that Steve Austin does whenever he gets behind the wheel, but for the sake of parity, we've gathered all his vehicular misadventures into a single spot. Over his career, Austin has had a long and well-known history with using vehicles as a method for getting back at his enemies. Among his actions (almost all of which were probably illegal) include things like crushing The Rock's Cadillac with a monster truck, driving a Zamboni the the ring so he could attack Vince McMahon, lifting a car containing Triple H with a crane and dropping it several stories (don't worry, Triple H survived without a scratch), dropping a steel beam on the D-X bus, driving a beer truck to the ring so he could attack Vince McMahon, filling Vince's sports car with cement, driving a pick-up truck to the ring so he could attack the Nation of Domination (you might have noticed a trend here), and spending a lot of time post-retirement driving an ATV around whenever he shows up on TV. If it's got wheels, Steve Austin can apparently drive it, and also use it to help him commit acts of violence against anyone in his path.

This bank is eliminating all fees from its checking and savings accounts — why you should tread cautiously
By Jacob Passy
There is a growing number of options for fee-free checking and savings accounts
Consumers will want to be careful when withdrawing money from an ATM, even if they have a fee-free bank account.

Discover DFS, +2.01% is eliminating fees for its deposit accounts — including checking, savings, money market or certificate of deposit accounts. But consumers looking to avoid fees should think twice before signing up, experts say.
Consumers with a Discover Bank account will no longer be charged the myriad fees that can come with a bank account including those associated with:
• Monthly maintenance
• Checkbook orders
• Replacement debit cards
• Insufficient funds
• Excessive withdrawals
• Stop-payment requests

Some of the accounts still come with minimum balances upon opening — consumers must have $2,500 to open a money-market account or CD — but consumers won't be charged a fee if their account at some point dips below that amount, said Arijit Roy, Discover's vice president of deposits.
The fee-free initiative builds on Discover's "First Fee Forgiveness" program that rolled out last year, which automatically waived the first eligible banking fee a consumer incurred each calendar year. Roy said the program is designed to help build "trust and engagement" with customers.
Studies have shown that the average American household can spend as much as $155,000 over their lifetimes in financial, bank and investment fees. In 2018 alone, U.S. consumers paid $11.5 billion in bank overdraft fees.
Americans spend a lot on bank fees — but it's not the only thing they should consider
It has become easier to find a bank or credit union that waives the fees on its bank accounts in recent years. Roughly 41% of banks offer a free checking account, up from a low of 37% in 2016, said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. The rate is double for credit unions. Still, it's a far cry from 2009, when a whopping 76% of banks offered these accounts.
However, fee-free savings accounts can have lower interest rates, said Brian Karimzad, co-founder of personal finance website MagnifyMoney TREE, -0.46% .
Discover's checking account doesn't offer interest, but does come with 1% cash back on up to $3,000 in debit card purchases each month, which can add up to a maximum of $360 back annually.
The company's online savings account currently holds an annual percentage yield of 2.10%, while its 12-month certificate of deposit (CD) carries a yield of 2.50% and its 5-year CD pays out 2.85% interest. (These rates can vary, the company said.)
'There's such wide variation between account offerings. It's really incumbent upon consumers to take their time and think about how they're going to use the accounts and how it will meet their needs.'
—Christina Tetreault, senior policy counsel at Consumer Reports
The average savings account pays 0.10% interest, while the average 12-month CD pays 0.66% interest, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. However, some online banks offer savings accounts with APYs up to 2.80%.
Consumers also need to weigh factors such as the convenience of bank branches or a mobile banking app's ease-of-use. Discover, for instance, operates as an online-only bank without traditional, brick-and-mortar branches.
"There's such wide variation between account offerings," said Christina Tetreault, senior policy counsel at Consumer Reports. "It's really incumbent upon consumers to take their time and think about how they're going to use the accounts and how it will meet their needs."

Consumers could still face fees even with Discover accounts
There is one fee consumers may not be able to avoid entirely: Out-of-network ATM charges.
"ATM service providers may impose a fee," Tetreault said. "So even if a bank account or prepaid account truly has no fees, consumers can get tripped up by out-of-network fees."
Discover itself won't charge an ATM fee if a consumer withdraws money from an out-of-network ATM, but the third-party bank will typically charge for that transaction. ATM fees have risen 53% on average over the past decade.
Discover Bank customers have access to 60,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide, the company said.
Axos Bank gives customers free access to any ATM in the U.S. and reimburses fees charged by ATM owner for various accounts with the bank. Radius Bank similarly offers unlimited ATM fee rebates. Meanwhile, Alliant Credit Union has more than 80,000 fee-free ATMs across the country.
Shares of Discover are up 4.93% over the last three months, whereas the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.01% and S&P 500 SPX, +0.36% are up only 0.92% and 2.20% respectively.
85% of Americans say they've been stung by these hidden fees

Nigeria's U20 team, the Flying Eagles will begin their quest to become world champions for the very first time when the World Cup kicks off in New Zealand on May 30.
Brazil, Hungary and Korea DPR are the Flying Eagles' group opponents in New Zealand.
The Flying Eagles will face the South Americans first on June 1 at Stadium, Taranaki, New Plymouth.
Nigeria go into that contest knowing they have never defeated Brazil at this level in a competitive game.
Expectations are however high that this is the year when the Flying Eagles finally take the monkey off their back and beat the 'Samba Boys' for the very first time.
Nigeria's coach, Manu Garba is spoiled for choice with prodigious and precocious talent at his disposal.
In Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho, he has perhaps the most coveted 18-year old in world football.
Iheanacho has been doing impressive things for City's Elite Development Squad (EDS) and scored vital goals against Chelsea, FC Porto and Manchester United in recent weeks.
Garba can also call upon the services of Success Isaac (Granada, Spain), Moses Simon, a league champion with Gent in Belgium and Taiwo Awoniyi, the youngster severally touted to be the heir apparent to legendary striker, the late Rashidi Yekini.
Nigeria's opponents are aware of the strengths of the West Africans with Brazil's coach, Alexandre Gallo admitting that the Flying Eagles "can cause us problems".
"Nigeria always causes us problems. The team is a strong one, technically good with good players," Gallo said.
Nigerian striker, Awoniyi has since confessed that they know little about the Brazilians or indeed any of their other group rivals ahead of their preliminary matches.
"We are yet to watch any videos of our opponents but our coaches have concentrated fully on preparing us for whatever challenges we will come across. We are ready," the striker told the official Fifa website, www.fifa.com.
Gallo however insists Brazil will not be caught off guard and explains the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition in the pool.
"Hungary has a typically European style – direct football, tall players. North Korea doesn't have very technical players but the team closes you down a lot, the team has speed and counter-attack intensely," the Brazil trainer explained.
The Flying Eagles will do well to heed the warnings handed down by Gallo when they face the Koreans on June 4 and Hungarians four days later.
Nigeria will be making her 11th appearance in the competition.
A total of 504 players have been selected by the 24 teams that will compete for the top prize but the 21 selected by Garba will be hoping they make history when the final game is decided on June 20 at the North Harbour Stadium, Auckland.
Awoniyi who is expected to be at the tip of the spear for the Flying Eagles in New Zealand is confident about the chances of the side at the tournament.
"With the preparations we have put in, we want to be world champions in New Zealand. Every game will be a cup final for us.
"Our biggest strength is outside the pitch of play. It is the unity among the players. We are a big, happy family. On a personal level, scoring goals comes naturally to me.
"I also hold the ball upfront and try and bring my teammates into the attack. I play for the team as well," he said.
The coach is also optimistic but chose the path of modesty when he exclusively spoke to supersport.com before the team departed for Germany for the final phase of their preparations for the World Cup.
"We know we are a good side but we will approach all our games with respect for our opponents.
"The objective is to win every game at the tournament and if we eventually win the trophy then we will celebrate," he said.
Strong and effective performances in New Zealand will put expansive smiles on the faces of Nigerians at the end of the tournament.

MLB: Looking Back at April for the AZ Diamondbacks
By: Jim Marshall
As the brutal month of April finally came to end for the Arizona Diamondbacks and with all of the negative stuff that was written and said about them, I decided to see if there were any positives for the month of April 2014 for this team. You might think I am foolish or have no idea what I am talking about, especially after the Diamondbacks finished April at 9-22, with a 3-15 (2 games in AU) record at home in Chase Field. However I did find a few positives worth writing about.
First, I have to say Miguel Montero was a positive with his bat. He started off last year in a slump and never really got his bat going. He looks to be over his back issues of last season as well. He caught 28 of the 31 games and he hit in twelve of his last thirteen games in April. It looks like he has adjusted his bat control and stopped trying to hit every pitch out of the ballpark.
How about Chris Owings who was named rookie of the month for April. He hit .313 26-for-83 and also led NL rookies with five doubles, six extra-base hits, 26 hits and total games with 28. He also stole four bases, which was good for second among NL rookies, and was tied for second with seven runs scored. He should be in the running for the NL Rookie of the Year Award at the end of the season if these sorts of stats continue.
Paul Goldschmidt proved that last year was not a one chance occurrence season. Coming off a season in which he led the National League in just about every offensive category many wondered if he could equal or even better those stats this season. His April performance makes it easy to say he is one of the best players in the game today. He led the NL league in hits with 40 and doubles with 12. He also played in all 31 of the teams April games.
Brad Ziegler, who did struggle with his first 3 April appearances, has since returned to his dominating and confident control. Since April 8th, he has appeared in 12 games with 10 2/3 innings pitched and allowed zero runs. He only gave up three hits and was his usual self with getting batters to hit groundballs for sure outs.
Now that may not seem like a lot of positives, but at least there were a few and hopefully the month of May will be better than the month of April. Winning at home will be the key to a successful month. They play 12 of their 27 games in May at Chase Field.

Albert Bruylants est un chimiste belge né à Bruxelles le  et mort le . Professeur de chimie organique à l'Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), il fut président de l'Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée (UICPA) et directeur de la classe "Science" de l'Académie Royale de Belgique en 1983. Il remporte différents prix pour ses recherches.

Biographie

Fils de Pierre Bruylants (1885-1950) et petit-fils de Gustave Bruylants (1850-1925), Albert est né à Saint-Gilles le 22 août 1915. Après des études primaires et secondaires à Louvain et Godinne, il est proclamé, en 1938, docteur en sciences naturelles à l'Université catholique de Louvain (UCL). Après avoir obtenu son doctorat, il étudie un an à Groningue.

En mai 1940, il participe à la campagne des 18 jours et est fait prisonnier de guerre, mais il est rapidement libéré.

En 1941, il est nommé aspirant FNRS. L'année suivante, il succède à son père à la chaire de chimie générale de l'UCL et enseigne la chimie organique et la chimie générale aux étudiants.

Il participe à la création des Jeunesses scientifiques de Belgique en 1958-59 et en 1960, il bénéficie d'une bourse de la Commission for Relief of Belgium. En plus de l'enseignement, il remplit un certain nombre de tâches administratives au sein de l'UCLouvain. Il est doyen de la faculté des sciences de 1963 à 1969 et président et fondateur du groupe de contact de chimie organique entre 1971 et 1972 et de 1978 à 1982. Ce groupe est chapoté par le FNRS. Il dirige le Centre interuniversitaire de chimie organique qui réunit l' Université libre de Bruxelles, l'UCLouvain, l'Université de Liège, l'UGent et la Faculté universitaire de Gembloux. Il accède à l'éméritat en 1984.Complémentairement à sa carrière académique et à ses recherches, il est bourgmestre de Winksele de 1953 à 1958.

En 1966, il est nommé membre correspondant de l'Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique. Il en devient membre effectif en 1977 et directeur de la classe des sciences en 1983. Il est membre pendant 25 ans de la 4e commission scientifique du FNRS et président de la Société royale de Chimie de 1961 à 1962.  Il est membre du Conseil national de la politique scientifique. Il est membre honoraire de la Société chimique de France et membre de l'Académie internationale de Lutèce, de l'Académie européenne des sciences des Arts et des Lettres de l'Unesco, de la Société de chimie industrielle, de l'American Chemical Society et du comité de la Maison de la Chimie.Il est professeur invité aux universités de Paris, Aix-Marseille et Montpellier.

Il decède à Woluwé-saint-Lambert le 12 juillet 1990.

Travaux

Recherches en chimie organique et en chimie physique organique
Passionné par la relation entre la structure et la réactivité, il étudie cette relation au moyen de la cinétique chimique. Il s'intéresse également aux structures géométriques et aux isomères et étudie, par exemple, les amides insaturés.

Il s'intéresse également aux réactions des nitriles, à la condensation des fonctions carbonylées avec des dérivés du méthylène et de la chloration. Il consacre plusieurs publications sur la cinétique de l'hydrolyse des amides, aussi bien aliphatiques qu'aromatiques. Il fait une étude profonde des effets de l'acide nitrique sur les amides. Il déduit les mécanismes de réaction en étudiant des séries homologues.

Bruylants s'attaque également à l'examen d'une réaction déjà étudiée par son père mais en adoptant une analyse quantitative. Il mesure les constantes de vitesse de l'addition des organomagnésiens sur les nitriles. Il publie également plusieurs de ses cours, entre autres, la chimie générale, rédigée avec J. Verhulst et J.C. Jungers.
Il poursuit de cette manière le travail de son père qui avait publié en 1920, le Traité de chimie élémentaire

Histoire des sciences
Il fait des recherches sur l'histoire générale, sur l'histoire de la médecine et plus particulièrement sur l'histoire de la chimie en Belgique. Il étudie également l'histoire de sa propre famille dans l'article Gustave Bruylants, Fernand Ranwez et leur école de pharmacie à l'Université de Louvain (1875-1925).

Il rédige la biographie de différents chimistes comme Louis Henry, Van Tiggelen, etc.En dehors de l'histoire des sciences, il s'intéresse à Napoléon et à la bataille de Waterloo. Il est membre du Comité National de Logique, Histoire et Philosophie des Sciences. Il est vice-président de la Commission de la Biographie Nationale. Il est membre fondateur et vice-président de l'Association pour l'histoire des sciences et des techniques à Bruxelles. Il est également délégué belge au groupe de travail « Histoire de la chimie » de la Fédération Européenne des Sociétés Chimiques. Il est membre de différentes associations internationales qui ont trait à l'histoire des sciences : le Comité Lavoisier de l'Institut de France, le Liebig's Museum Giessen, le  Comité de l'Histoire, travaillant sous l'égide de l'Académie des Sciences, à Paris, etc.

Sometimes it's just not the write time..
I've been a bit tearful tonight. There's a blog post I've had in my head for a month or so now, and I haven't been able to write it. Partly Muriel's fault, but not completely this time.
In some respects, there is the paralysing fear of not finding the right words; of not being able to put into words effectively, what I'm trying to say. I know it sounds stupid, and I don't even know why it's so important to me, but this specific post talks about something I've lived with for the best part of the last thirteen years, and I want to be able to write it in a way that encapsulates the entire experience, and I don't know if I can actually do that yet. It's also something that's incredibly painful to talk about, and if I'm honest; truly honest, I don't think I can face looking at it in that much detail.
I almost didn't write anything here tonight. My mindset was along the lines of "If I'm not good enough to write that, then am I really good enough to write anything", but I can't let that voice win. I can't stop writing, because if I do, then that high pitched, cackling voice wins, and I can't let that happen. I won't be silenced any more, even if there are times when I have to admit that it isn't the write time for certain things. I hate having to admit that, but I know that I don't want to write anything substandard, and in order to make sure that this doesn't happen, I have to be sensible; I have to sometimes admit defeat to the smaller battles, in order that I can win the bigger ones.
So that's what I will do. The post in question, will remain in drafts, until I feel ready to be able to write it and do it justice, and in the meantime, I will write other things, because I refuse to be silenced.

Reminder: Child tax credit stimulus payment will come early this month
Updated: Aug. 09, 2021, 8:56 a.m. | Published: Aug. 08, 2021, 10:42 a.m.

By Tracey Porpora | porpora@siadvance.com
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Just when parents have come to expect monthly child tax credit payments on the 15th of the month, the August payment date was changed.
Last month, parents across the country were paid on July 15, and the government said subsequent payments would be made on the 15th of the month. And that will happen for September, October, November and December.
But August's payment will hit bank accounts early, on the 13th, because the 15th is a Sunday.
Under the expanded program, families will receive a maximum total of $3,600 for each child under the age of 6 and $3,000 for each child between the ages of 6 and 17.
ELIGIBILITY AND REDUCTIONS
However, like the stimulus check, the expanded Child Tax Credit benefits include reductions and cutoffs for individuals earning higher incomes.
The full $3,000 and $3,600 credits will be available to individual tax payers earning less than $75,000 and married couples earning under $150,000.
But payments will be reduced for anyone earning above those thresholds.
The expanded benefits will be reduced by $50 for every additional $1,000 in income over the $75,000 and $150,000 thresholds.
The reduction in benefits will level off at $2,000 per child for those earning higher incomes, though individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples earning more than $400,000 will not qualify for Child Tax Credit benefits at all.
Eligible residents who filed their tax returns in 2019 or 2020, or who signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), have been automatically enrolled in the program and do not have to take any action to begin receiving payments on July 15.
Those who did not file taxes or sign up for a stimulus check can enroll in the program through the White House's Non-Filer website.
CALCULATING YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENTS
American families will receive their expanded Child Tax Credit in two ways.
Half of it will come via advanced monthly payments, which started in July and will end in December.
The other half will be claimed on residents' annual tax return.
For example, an individual earning less than $75,000 with a 4-year-old and 7-year-old child is eligible for $6,600 in Child Tax Credit benefits; $3,600 for the 4-year-old and $3,000 for the 7-year-old.
Half of the $6,600, totaling $3,300, will be dispersed evenly over a six-month span from July through December, meaning the individual would receive $550 per month.
The individual will receive the remaining $3,300 through their 2021 tax return.
But what if your higher income results in reductions?
Let's use the same example as before, except this time the individual is earning $85,000 instead of earning less than $75,000. The individual still has a 4-year-old and 7-year-old child, but will now receive a lower credit for each one due to the income reductions.
Because the individual earns $10,000 more than the $75,000 threshold, the benefits will be reduced by $500 for each child.
Now, instead of receiving a total of $6,600, the individual would receive a total of $5,600 in Child Tax Credit benefits, $3,100 for the 4-year-old and $2,500 for the 7-year-old.
Half of that $5,600, totaling $2,800, would be awarded in monthly payments over a six-month span, meaning this individual would receive $466.67 per month and receive the remaining $2,800 through their 2021 tax return.
Americans who would rather receive their entire Child Tax Credit as a lump sum when they file their 2021 taxes can opt-out of the monthly advanced payments model by visiting the IRS Child Tax Credit Update Portal.
Monthly stimulus Child Tax Credit payments begin this week. Here's why you may want to opt-out.

Fiat shares have fallen after the US charges
January 14, 2017 IMMEconomics
The share price of Fiat Chrysler fell 18% amid reports of the Agency for environmental protection, States that Fiat violated the law – in particular, the software was installed, which lowers rates of harmful emissions into the atmosphere in the car Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to Bloomberg.
This was the largest drop in the value of the shares of the car manufacturer since October 2014, the newspaper notes.
Previously, the Agency for environmental protection, the United States sent notice of the Fiat Chrysler that the company had violated the clean air act. It was about the cars of the 2014-2016 model years, equipped with a diesel engine. No charges, but the Agency noted that they continue to explore the software Fiat.
In a statement, the company noted that diesel cars comply with all necessary requirements. Fiat has expressed its willingness to work with the Agency for the protection of the environment.
In may 2016 the German transport Ministry said the excess level of carbon dioxide emissions in cars Fiat. It was noted that these vehicles were installed the same software, and Volkswagen. This led to a drop in share prices 5%.

Kate Middleton's uncle to sell Ibiza home for €6.5million
Kathryn Richardson (Reporter)
21 Feb, 2013 @ 11:00
IT is one of Spain's most notorious properties.
Aside from being a regular holiday hideout for English footballers, it was the home where Kate Middleton's wayward uncle famously offered cocaine and prostitutes to an undercover reporter.
Now Prince William's uncle-in-law Gary Goldsmith is to sell his stunning Ibiza villa 'Maison de Bang Bang'.
The brother of Kate's mother Carole is hoping to get €6.5million for the four bed villa.
The house has become popular with the likes of Premier League footballers, including Liverpool's Jordan Henderson, who rent it for an estimated €15,000 a week.
Goldsmith, 47, has been a frequent embarrassment to the royals.
Back in 2006, he was caught on camera using cocaine and offering a prostitute to a News of the World journalist.
Now he is promising to write his autobiography with all the juicy details of Will and Kate after the couple spent a week with him at the Balearic pleasure palace in 2006.
The now unemployed tycoon has recently married his fourth wife, convicted fraudster Julie-Ann Brown.

Urban farmers are so trendy that they're going on The Bachelorette now
By Paolo Lucchesi on May 2, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Photo: ABC
Meet Alejandro. If he was stranded on a desert island, he'd want a picture of his mom, so he "can keep fighting"; if he could have a superpower, it would be to "see the future so [he] can change it!"
Alejandro is one of 25 dapper young lads who will showcase his flirting/courting/arguing skills in front of several million people on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette.
He's also from the Bay Area, and — wait for it — he's an urban farmer. With urban farmers now on reality dating shows, the trend has officially reached its inevitable cultural apex.
Alejandro Velez is a Berkeley business school grad and co-founder of Back to the Roots, a cool little company that uses coffee waste to grow mushrooms indoors via $20 kits available at farmers' markets; see The Chronicle's 2009 story on it. They have an Alice Waters quote on their website and everything.
Urban farming: So hot right now.

GDPRexplained Campaign: the new regulation is here to protect our rights
Blogs | Campaigns | Privacy and data protection | Data protection standards | Privacy and confidentiality
Our GDPR Explained campaign aims at educating individuals and organisations about the new rights granted to us and the changes to be made when dealing with personal data. We have put together answers to many important questions we have received and built a FAQ for anyone to access.
By Panoptykon Foundation (guest author) · May 29, 2018
Hundreds of e-mails informing about changes to companies' privacy policies were sent out across the EU in the name of the GDPR. Both users and companies are confused with the variety of – sometimes contradictory – explanations and interpretations. The #GDPRexplained / #TimeToDisagree campaign launched by Panoptykon together with European Digital Rights and Bits of Freedom reminds everyone that the GDPR is – above all – a new tool to protect our rights.
The new data protection regulations re-emphasize that what we are protecting is living people and not meaningless sets of digits. A person can easily fall victim to wrongdoings concerning personal data. For instance, consumers may be negatively impacted if an insurance company increases a fee, a bank rejects an application for a loan based on unclear criteria or an ISP manipulates their political and consumer decisions by streaming a "tailored" newsfeed on their wall, without explaining the logic behind the choice.
The point of the new regulation – to regain control over who knows what about us and what they do with this information – is buried under the discussion about how companies are not meeting up to their requirements and seeking simple yes or no answers to particular dilemmas. What really matters though is the people and their rights.
Have you ever received a call from an unknown company and the person on the other side of the wire called you by your first name? The GDPR will make it easier to find out where did the company obtained your data from and ask them to erase it. It will challenge the common problem of bullying users to get their consent for data processing. The fuss around the GDPR alone makes so many people think: perhaps I don't have to agree to all of this? A strong data protection authority and a perspective of real financial sanctions should discourage everyone from taking unnecessary risks associated with violating the rights of their customers.

2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
15 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof; and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
On the thirteenth of the month Adar the Jews destroy their enemies, and the governors of the provinces assist them, 1-5.
They slay five hundred in Shushan, and kill the ten sons of Haman, but take no spoil, 6-10.
The king is informed of the slaughter in Shushan, 11.
He desires to know what Esther requests farther; who begs that the Jews may be permitted to act on the following day as they had done on the preceding, and that Haman's sons may be hanged upon the gallows; which is granted; and they slay three hundred more in Shushan, and in the other provinces seventy-five thousand, 12-16.
A recapitulation of what was done; and of the appointment of the feast of Purim to be observed through all their generations every year, 17-28.
