Warming oceans affect the food sources of many of the seagoing animals in the Galapagos. Marine iguanas — one of many species that are endemic, or unique, to the Galapagos — have a harder time finding the red and green algae they prefer. Sea turtles struggle to nest in warmer temperatures. Raising young gets harder as water warms and fewer nutrients are available.
BROWN: It was an opportunity to work with (“This Is Us” creator, showrunner) Dan (Fogelman) again. I read the pilot. I loved the pilot. I love that the character was very different than Randall or anything that I had done and that people had seen me do before. There was an invitation to be an executive producer on the show as well. It’s also my first time being No. 1 on the call sheet, and I’m 48 years old. People wanted to put me No. 1 on the call sheet, and I was superstitious about it, and I was like, ″You know what? Just make me No. 2,” and they’re like, “Are you serious?” I was like, “Yeah, totally cool. It’s fine.” I’d say “I think I’ve been successful at not being No. 1.” It felt like this was the right time and the right fit.BROWN: A lot of folks have come up to Ryan, and I like, “You guys need a show.” Our dynamic is pretty special and fun and playful and crazy. It was like, “OK, if our friends are thoroughly entertained by us, then maybe a larger public will be entertained by us as well.” And it proved to be so. We got nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to do more. Then, Chris (Sullivan) and I were having brunch, and he brought up the idea of doing a rewatch podcast. I was like, “Bro, I would be down.” We asked Mandy to join us. For the three of us, it’s really an excuse to get together and enjoy each other’s company.
I do. When you book a job through an audition, you’re like, “I know I deserve to be here.” A perfect example was “The People v. O.J. Simpson (:American Crime Story).” I was looking around (at John Travolta, Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, David Schwimmer and Cuba Gooding Jr.) I was like, “One of these things is not like the other. Like, all you people are famous. I’m just me.” But I had auditioned for it and knew the role. Now, it’s like I have to make sure I prove to people that, I deserve the offer that I got.ROME (AP) — Rome’s next luxury hotel has some very good bones: Archaeologists said Wednesday that the ruins of Nero’s Theater, an imperial theater referred to in ancient Roman texts but never found, have been discovered under the garden of a future Four Seasons Hotel steps from the Vatican.Archaeologists have excavated deep under the walled garden of the Palazzo della Rovere since 2020 as part of planned renovations on the frescoed Renaissance building. The palazzo, which takes up a city block along the broad Via della Conciliazione leading to St. Peter’s Square, is home to an ancient Vatican chivalric order that leases the space to a hotel to raise money for Christians in the Holy Land.
The governor general of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, Leonardo Visconti di Modrone, confirmed during a news conference announcing the archaeological discovery that the incoming hotel chain was the Four Seasons. News reports have said the hotel is expected to be open in time for the Vatican’s 2025 Jubilee, when an estimated 30 million people and pilgrims are expected to flock to Rome.Officials hailed the findings from the excavation as “exceptional,” given they provide a rare look at a stratum of Roman history from the Roman Empire through to the 15th century. Among the discoveries: 10th century glass colored goblets and pottery pieces that are unusual because so little is known about this period in Rome.
Marzia Di Mento, the site’s chief archaeologist, noted that previously only seven glass chalices of the era had been found, and that the excavations of this one site turned up seven more.
In addition, archaeologists found marble columns and gold-leaf decorated plaster, leading them to conclude that the Nero’s Theater referred to in texts by Pliny the Elder, an ancient Roman author and philosopher, was indeed there, located at the site just off the Tiber River.Reshma Begum, 28, collects water from the Pasur River in Mongla, Bangladesh, March 4, 2022.
