When the independent drama A Better Life debuted at theaters in the summer of 2011, actor Demián Bichir hoped the film would cause a ripple effect both cinematically and politically. Not only could it serve as his introduction to American audiences as a leading man, Bichir believed it was the kind of powerful narrative that could spur positive changes on immigration issues. In director Chris Weitz's film, Bichir earned an Academy Award nomination (the first for a Latine man in the Best Actor category in 47 years) for playing Carlos Galindo, an undocumented Mexican day laborer working as a landscaper and trying to raise his teenage son in Los Angeles. Ten years later, A Better Life deserves to be referenced alongside other classic Latine films like Zoot Suit , El Norte , La Bamba, and Stand and Deliver . Its legacy may still be forming after only a decade, but Bichir knows he was part of something very special. "The magic of moviemaking and the beauty of films is that th

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- After ShopRite moved to new digs in The Boulevard shopping center in New Dorp in October, the original 56,000-square-foot supermarket on Hylan Boulevard has sat dormant. Since the larger state-of-the-art store opened in October, the developers of both shopping centers, the Long Island-based Kimco Realty, are actively seeking potential tenants to occupy ShopRite's former space at 2424 Hylan Blvd. "ShopRite was a huge success right out of the gate," said Joshua Weinkranz, president of the northern region of the Kimco Realty, of the new larger supermarket in The Boulevard. "We are talking to a handful of people for different types of uses. We are trying to get it leased as soon as we can," he said. NEW SHOPRITE LOCATION ShopRite's relocation was spurred by the opportunity to move into a larger 70,000-square-foot supermarket, located at 2656 Hylan Blvd. The supermarket serves as the anchor tenant and the first store to open in The Boulevar

When it comes to science fiction, I have two favorite genres: Time Travel and Artificial Intelligence. Oddly, I actually missed this show when looking over what to watch for the spring anime season. Either I accidentally glossed over it or it was added to the lineup after I had made my choices on what to watch. Had I spied it, I would have watched it from week one; however, I ended up having to marathon the first ten episodes because that's how deep into the show it had gotten before I realized it was a thing. Am I glad that I took the time to get caught up and finish this series? Let's go! Advertisement The Story A.I.'s have gone insane and are in the process of destroying mankind. An unknown scientist sends a program 100 years into the past to convince one of the world's first A.I.'s, Diva, to take part in what is called the Singularity Project… a plan to rewrite history over the course of the next hundred years and to prevent judgment day.

BABYLON, NY — Town of Babylon officials gathered at the Babylon Village pool on Friday, as part of an annual initiative to support the decline of hard shell clams in the Great South Bay. Throughout the month of October, the Town of Babylon's Department of Environmental Control, or DEC, has been transplanting thousands of live hard clams into the bay as part of the annual Hard Clam Program. The program, which began in 1986, is a yearly initiative meant to restock the area of the Great South Bay known as "spawner sanctuary." According to the program's website, shellfish have faced "a precipitous harvest drop-off since the 1970s", due to several factors, including New York's commercial hard clam industry. The location was picked based on a study conducted by Stony Brook prior to 1986. The overall intention of the program is to place adult clams in specific areas where they will reproduce. "The clam population is currently spread so thin that we don&#

In the final hours of his life last weekend, he was plucked from anonymity, nestled in darkness at the bottom of an insulated cooler and given a name: Dinnah, like how a Mainer might pronounce the last meal of the day. His fate was sealed, literally, with Dinnah placed at the bottom and a layer of smaller friends on top in the cooler, which was wrapped with duct tape. His owner, Christopher Stracuzza, a 32-year-old auto-body repairman from Savannah, Ga., wanted Dinnah, a hulking 20-pound American lobster, and another 20 pounds of more-modest crustaceans to reach their final destination peacefully. "You don't think a lobster gets stressed too?" Mr. Stracuzza said. But the lobster's final journey, from a tank at a seafood market in Connecticut to a propane cooker in Savannah, was bumpy and controversial, and included a brush with internet celebrity. It started after Mr. Stracuzza checked in for a JetBlue flight from Boston back home on Sunday morning and placed the cool

Abstract Rising temperatures and extreme climate events are propelling tropical species into temperate marine ecosystems, but not all species can persist. Here, we used the heatwave-driven expatriation of tropical Black Rabbitfish ( Siganus fuscescens ) to the temperate environments of Western Australia to assess the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that may entail their persistence. Population genomic assays for this rabbitfish indicated little genetic differentiation between tropical residents and vagrants to temperate environments due to high migration rates, which were likely enhanced by the marine heatwave. DNA metabarcoding revealed a diverse diet for this species based on phytoplankton and algae, as well as an ability to feed on regional resources, including kelp. Irrespective of future climate scenarios, these macroalgae-consuming vagrants may self-recruit in temperate environments and further expand their geographic range by the year 2100. This expansion may compromise t

As a kid growing up outside of Chicago, Dr. Jeremy Goodman lived in a house that was like a zoo. The menagerie included snakes, turtles, birds, guinea pigs, lizards, hermit crabs and other creatures big and small. "I had a lot of pets, he says, "but never a dog or a cat." These days, the new director of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium shares a Squirrel Hill home with his wife and children … and some fish and a cockatiel. In August, after an international search for a successor to longtime director Dr. Barbara Baker, the Zoological Society of Pittsburgh's Board of Directors announced Goodman's appointment. He officially took the reins on Oct. 1, making him the eighth director since the facility opened in 1898. Goodman says it's his dream job. "It was a good match," he says. "Personally, I liked and my family liked what the City of Pittsburgh had to offer us. Professionally, this

Leaders of the Kansas City Zoo could not have a groundbreaking ceremony for a new aquarium because of the pandemic, but they celebrated its construction progress Monday as they launched a public funding campaign called Make Waves KC. At 60,000-square-feet, the aquarium will be home to thousands of sea animals, such as rescued sea otters and octopuses. Bek Shackelford-Nwanganga, KCUR The Kansas City Zoo's new aquarium is scheduled to open in 2023. The project is one legacy of outgoing CEO Randy Wisthoff, who is set to retire at the end of 2021 after 18 years. Wisthoff has long pushed for an aquarium at the Kansas City Zoo. Before coming to Kansas City, Wisthoff worked as associate director at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha where he witnessed the addition of that zoo's aquarium. "
