Movies Opening This Weekend in Shawnee! "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT"
Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong. Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill star in this action-packed installment in the series.

(Note: 3D available at Cinema Centre 8 only).
"TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES" It seems to
the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies-everyone but the Teen Titans, that is. But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line. The animated action comedy features the voices of Nicholas Cage and Kristen Bell. (Rated PG for action and rude humor). (1:33) OPENS FRIDAY JULY 27TH AT MOVIES SIX AT SHAWNEE MALL.
"AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR"
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain. Robert Downey Jr and Chris Hemsworth star. (Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, language and some crude references). (2:29) OPENS JULY 27th AT THE HORNBECK THEATRE.

Primatologist Davis (Dwayne Johnson) shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent silverback gorilla who has been in his care since he was young. When a greed-fueled corporation's genetic experiment goes awry, George and other animals across the country are mutated into aggressive supercreatures who destroy everything in their path. In this adrenaline-filled ride, Davis tries to find an antidote, not only to halt a global catastrophe but also to save a creature who was once his friend. Dwayne Johnson stars in the action thriller. (Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, action and destruction, brief language, and crude gestures). (1:47) OPENS JULY 27th AT THE HORNBECK THEATRE.

TULSA ZOO ANNOUNCES ALDABRA TORTOISE HATCHINGS The Tulsa Zoo is proud to announce the hatching of 25 Aldabra tortoises this year, a new record. The zoo has now successfully hatched 161 Aldabra tortoises since 1999, when it started breeding this species. The Tulsa Zoo is renowned for the successful breeding of the world’s second largest tortoise species. It is the only accredited Association of Zoos and Aquariums institution to successfully hatch eggs from two females. “Starting in the late ‘90s we moved the females into a separate enclosure for the summer,” says Zookeeper Aaron Goodwin. “Male and female Aldabras have been observed by field researchers spending time apart. So we experimented. It’s difficult to move a 175 pound tortoise but after the girls’ first summer vacation — as we call it — they started laying fertile clutches. All of the hard work was, and is, definitely worth it.”
has been contacted by zoos from around the world for advice about breeding this vulnerable species. We share our knowledge about incubation period, temperature ranges and appropriate humidity as well as animal husbandry methods,” says Curator of Reptiles & Aquatics Celeste Czarniak. “For instance, Zookeeper Matt Yockey lifted the eggs during the final week. That vibration started a chain reaction to help the young tortoises start pipping, or cutting through their shells.” The Tulsa Zoo is also home to three adult
The Tulsa Zoo has been able to collect fertile eggs every two to three years since the first Aldabra tortoise hatchling emerged from its egg in the winter of 1999. Zoo guests can see several of the tortoise hatchlings in the reptile nursery in the Conservation Center. The hatchling tortoises currently weigh between 60 to 200 grams and guests can watch as they grow in their new exhibit. “The Tulsa Zoo’s reptiles and aquatics staff
males and three adult female Aldabra tortoises. The adult male tortoises weigh nearly 400 lbs, while the adult female tortoises weigh around 175 lbs. Their ages range from early 40’s to more than 130 years old. Native to the Aldabra atoll of the Seychelles, just northeast of Madagascar, Aldabra tortoises are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. About the Tulsa Zoo: Accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, the Tulsa Zoo seeks to inspire passion for wildlife in every guest, every day. Open 363 days a year, the Tulsa Zoo hosts more than 700,000 guests each year, making it the largest attraction in the Green Country region. The Tulsa Zoo is owned by the City of Tulsa and managed by Tulsa Zoo Management, Inc. TZMI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In 2018, the Tulsa Zoo celebrates 90 years of providing family friendly recreation, natural sciences education and conservation of wildlife.

The master plan and information about the current capital campaign, Building Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, can be found at buildingbeyond.org.

SCIENCE GOES ON TAP DURING ‘SMO 21: FERMENTATION, FUNGI AND DECOMPOSITION,’ AUG. 17 AT SCIENCE MUSEUM OKLAHOMA Brewing beer, the fun of fungi and the surprising importance of decomposition will take over Science Museum Oklahoma during “SMO 21: Fermentation, Fungi and Decomposition” from 6:30-10 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 17, an adults-only (21+) night at the museum located at 2020 Remington Place in Oklahoma City. The evening will include the opportunity to sample and learn about the science behind fermented beverages and foods from COOP Ale Works, Big Oak Kombucha and Scissortale Provisions, a hands-on look at different mushrooms with Earthwise Mycology, the chance to taste and learn about cheeses from American Cheese Society Certified Cheese Professionals from Whole Foods Market, as well as take-home science for guests – from swabbing cell phones to see what is growing on the gadgets to a limited number of soil collection kits from the University of Oklahoma’s Natural Products Discovery Group (OU NPDG) Citizen Science Soil Collection Program. “Decay is something that we might not think of often, and when we do it is often in a negative manner — but it doesn’t need to be. Fungi and bacteria reveal what an amazing world we live in, so we’re celebrating decomposition and those things that come along with it at this SMO 21 with a come-and-go look at process of making beer, creating fuel from goat poop and more fun, interactive experiences,” said Clint Stone, vice president of programs for SMO. In addition to hands-on activities, the event will also include an expert panel discussion at 8:30 p.m. in the museum’s auditorium. “We’ll hear from a chemist focusing on

Five ways
to have fun this weekend
the sixth movie in the hit franchise, this time Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong; and “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies” rated PG and about how a villain’s maniacal plan for world domination sidetracks five teenage superheroes who dream of Hollywood stardom; and opening in limited theaters is “Puzzle” rated R about Agnes (Kelly Macdonald), a taken-for-granted suburban mother who discovers a passion for solving jigsaw puzzles which unexpectedly draws her into a new world — where her life unfolds in ways she could never have imagined.
2. Go out and try a salsa, cha-cha or two-step class to celebrate National Dance
Day on Saturday. The day was created to encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun way to get exercise and fight obesity.
3. Then afterward, unwrap your favorite candy bar to celebrate Milk Chocolate
Day! The first bar was made in 1875, when Swiss confectioner Daniel Peter and his neighbour Henri Nestlé (yes, the founder of the world-famous food and beverage company) developed the first solid milk chocolate using condensed milk. Today, most milk chocolate is made from milk powder, liquid milk or condensed milk.
4. Sunday, catch a baseball game on TV in a local sports bars and enjoy some
wings for National Chicken Wing Day. People disagree on which is better, drumettes or wingettes/flats but most agree that Buffalo style (deep-fried then coated in a vinegary hot sauce) is one of the best types of seasonings. Other popular varieties include barbecue, lemon pepper, parmesan garlic, honey mustard, and sweet and sour.
5. On July 29, 1958, NASA was created. Celebrate the space agency by heading to the official website, http://www.nasa.gov, or
by visiting a planetarium if one is near you. The NASA site has plenty to research and enjoy – you can see highlights of the space shuttle program, see how the Mars mission is going and much more. If this weekend isn’t cloudy, you could have a family event in the backyard where you look at stars and planets.
