The goal of the pairing is for the baby otter to learn the survival skills needed to return to the wild

The Aquarium of the Pacific is welcoming a female orphaned sea otter pup, which was rescued off the coast of Santa Cruz County. This baby sea otter is the first surrogate-raised otter at the Aquarium of the Pacific, for potential release back to the wild, as part of a partnership with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Sea Otter Surrogacy Program. The pup is paired with an adult female sea otter at the Aquarium of the Pacific with the goal of being able to learn from her the survival skills needed to be able to return to the wild. These vital skills include foraging for food and grooming their thick fur to thrive in cold water temperatures. 

“We’ve been working with our partners at the Aquarium of the Pacific for more than three years to reach this moment, and we’re excited they’re now ready to welcome orphaned pups for surrogacy,” said Jessica Fujii, manager of the Sea Otter Program at Monterey Bay Aquarium. “Sea otters help maintain the health of kelp forests and wetlands on California’s coast. This milestone is advancing our work to help sea otters recover from being hunted to near extinction and help strengthen our coastal ecosystems.”

The surrogacy area at the Aquarium of the Pacific was built behind the scenes of its Molina Animal Care Center and will be able to accommodate three to four rescued sea otter pups each year. The pups will be away from public view to limit human interaction to increase their chances of surviving on their own in the wild. Videos of rescued pups and signage located outside of the surrogacy facility will help educate the Aquarium’s visitors on the surrogacy program and the significance of recovering southern sea otter populations. A grant from the California’s State Coastal Conservancy Sea Otter Recovery Grant Program supported the initial construction of the sea otter surrogacy facility. 

The Aquarium of the Pacific also has a public fundraising campaign to support its work with rescued sea otter pups through this program. Anyone interested in getting involved and providing support of this important conservation work can visit pacific.to/saveseaotters and make a gift online or call (562) 951-1701. 

Through its Pacific Visions area, visitors to the Aquarium of the Pacific can learn how climate change is impacting the ocean, its inhabitants, and people, along with what can be done to work toward a more sustainable future. The Aquarium also serves as a facility for rehabilitating and releasing sea turtles, raising endangered mountain yellow-legged frogs for release, and spawning and releasing endangered white abalone. 

The Aquarium of the Pacific is famous when the lovely trainers stayed with public until every last question as spectator could think of was answered. There were so many exhibits open, including all of the ones where you can touch softly. It was so much fun and everything was so clean and well organized. A major highlight for people who love animals, it is possible to feed the birds.

Delinquents will surprise the movie theaters in United States

Directed by Rodrigo Moreno who presents a two-hander in an epic tale, centring on Morán (Daniel Eliás) and his similarly dull colleague Román (Esteban Bigliardi) joylessly toiling away at a Buenos Aires bank that deems their long years of service a trifle. Morán, though, has earned the respect of his crabby boss (Germán De Silva, relishing a delectable double role as an inmate), who entrusts him to carry large amounts of money from tills and strongboxes to the bank’s vault.

A film full of different genres where human condition is the main subject of peculiar humor related to the good and bad and freedom is in contrast to the human desires. Definitely a delightful three-hour Argentinian film where scenarios and photography are lovely and unique with unexpected ending.

Saw X  and The Conjuring will make you feel fear at Six Flags, Fright Fest 2023

By GalaTView Staff

“You can’t escape” of the 30th chilling years of the best mazes of Los Angeles, CA. This celebration comes with tons of fun of the Fright Fest 2023. Guess will enjoy 8 hunted houses but the favorite is Saw X which is full of the iconic scenes of the film. Actors, ambience and more are well structured elements of pain, suffering and good scenes with real actors. The Conjuring and SAW X. Both will be open Sept. 29-30 and Oct. 1, 6-8, 12-15, 18-22 and 25-31. Obviously, Condemned House Party, Truth or Dare, Willouhgby’s Resurrected, Wault 666:Unlocked, Sewer of Souls and Aftermath 2:Chaos Rising are the most visited mazes of several them parks from California. All hunted areas are incredible and fun, lots of fog and red lights and creatures and statues that make it cool but long lines of people so guess must be patient. During fright fest you have random people walking around trying to scare you. It is awesome. They are so into character that it makes it fun. In general is a kind of tradition for a lot of people and the ghouls were everywhere… and would jump out and scare you all throughout the park–which always kept it exciting. The creepy music definitely added to the experience, which was nice. I also want to congratulate to the Media organizers for their excellent attention and kindness. Definitely “you can’t escape of the fun and fear as every year!

Les Miserables brings the story to life

I was skeptical about this play because the novel is a master piece of Victor Hugo in 1862 was the first time published. However, it has been adapted as a vivid play-with-music and has its fair share of interesting and even poignant moments, where production feels surprisingly energetic and really becomes much livelier when it reaches the best of the cast feelings with some stories delivered via monologues; divided in two acts, this play had a well-structured contemporary drama. I was speechless because it has been considered as one of the best musical plays in theatrical history and this one, particularly, makes you feel into the story.

All performers moved the heart in an emotional state of love and connection with all parts in the musical with impressive singing with all the musicians’ participation.  There were notable standouts especially in each act and songs with the main actors such as Nick Cartell, Preston Truman, Steve Czarnecki, Daniel Gerard Bittner, Eden Mau, Emily Some and more. The Orchestra conductor is Brian Eads with his extraordinary talent.

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, made the best and memorable play in Los Angeles where you might enjoy for six weeks at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from August 1 – September 10, 2023. Definitely, it is worth to see this phenomenal play.

A new film worth to see “Midday Black Midnight Blue,” with Samantha Soule as a writer and co- director Daniel Talbott; begins with Ian (Chris Stack ), a character full of deep feelings in an empty house, and memories for his wife who died two decades ago, make us thinking of our daily existence turning ever darker, especially when he never finds a way to let her go.

The darkest memories and regrets get Ian’s mind but his loyalty for his dead wife is stronger, despite of his self-punishment.  Definitely a film full human emotions but contradictions as well for all who pursuits the true love accompany of pain and tolerance for your partner.

Chile '76 a film of different sides

An important Chilean film is coming with Chile ’76 (1976) by Manuela Martelli and Francisca Alegría.

All begins in the early days of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship; Chile ’76 builds from a quiet character study to a gripping suspense thriller as it explores one woman’s precarious flirtation with political engagement. Carmen (Aline Kuppenheim) leads a sheltered upper-middle-class existence. The story unfolds as she heads to her summer house in the off-season to supervise its renovation, while her husband, children, and grandchildren visit on and off, bringing reminders of the world beyond. When the family priest asks her to take care of an injured young man he has been sheltering in secret, Carmen is inadvertently drawn into the world of the Chilean political opposition and must face real-world threats she is unprepared to handle, with potentially disastrous consequences for her and her entire family.

Psychologically all characters have a fear, all the political movements of that time affect directly to their social life. Some characters suffer paranoia and heroic moments as well. While a dark moment reflect the reality of that time, the main characters face margination, suffering and power of decision. Definitely, a film that must be seen.
