The ​ ​ chicks, which hatched on October 13 and 14, are being reared behind-the-scenes in the Penguin Conservation Center. One chick is being reared by its parents while the other is being hand-reared by the staff. “This breeding season is off to a wonderful start,” said Jen Kottyan, avian collection and conservation manager. “As soon as the nest boxes were made available to the penguins, they began exhibiting breeding behaviors and claiming their nests. We are really excited about the prospects for this season, and these two are just the beginning.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This breeding season at The Maryland Zoo could mark the first time that any zoo or aquarium in North America has hatched 1,000 African penguin chicks during the course of their history with the birds. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Since we began working with African penguins in 1967, the Zoo has successfully hatched 989 penguin chicks, which includes the two we are announcing today,” continued Kottyan. “If our penguin pairs hatch eleven more healthy chicks this season, then we will hit the 1,000 mark. Spoiler alert – we have several more eggs incubating under their parents right now! We really have high hopes of hatching at least eleven chicks, if not more, this season.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Maryland Zoo has been a leader in African penguins for 50 years, winning the prestigious Edward H.

  • Australian Television, Music and Place
    Screen Sound n1, 2010 SOUNDING EAST OF EVERYTHING Australian Television, Music and Place Liz Giuffre Abstract East of Everything is a contemporary Australian television drama series shot on the New South Wales North Coast in and around the popular tourist destination of Byron Bay. In addition to utilising the region’s visual beauty – a cinematographic technique commonly employed in Australian drama – East of Everything has harnessed the musical culture that has developed in the area over time. The series relies on its soundtrack to create a sense of place and illuminate the program’s dramatic progression. This article will explore the use of music to ‘place’ East of Everything, examining the incorporation of pre-existing and specially commissioned material. I will show that the sonic representation of place through music has been key to the program’s success, and that place in the Australian drama is revealed sonically to be as diverse, emotive and striking as the region’s visual landscape. Keywords Television, Soundtrack, Australian music, Byron Bay, Surfing Culture Introduction Billingham (2000) argues that television drama often relies on the creation of ‘geo- ideological’ relationships to attract audiences. As part of his evaluation of various contemporary British and American television drama series, he suggests that many successful programs created a “dialectic of literal notions of place and location, transposed with their ideological marking, signing and delineation” (2000: 1). For Billingham the depiction of place was central to the success of these television texts, with the program’s target audience engaged as visuals and sound worked in “symbiotic tandem” to create an “imagined city” (2000: 119).

  • Why We Should Create Artificial Offspring: Meaning and the Collective Afterlife
    Why we should create artificial offspring: meaning and the collective afterlife By John Danaher, NUI Galway Forthcoming in Science and Engineering Ethics This article argues that the creation of artificial offspring could make our lives more meaningful (i.e. satisfy more meaning-relevant conditions of value). By ‘artificial offspring’ is meant beings that we construct, with a mix of human and non-human-like qualities. Robotic artificial intelligences are paradigmatic examples of the form. There are two reasons for thinking that the creation of such beings could make our lives more meaningful. The first is that the existence of a collective afterlife — i.e. a set of human-like lives that continue in this universe after we die — is likely to be an important source and sustainer of meaning in our present lives (Scheffler 2013). The second is that the creation of artificial offspring provides a plausible and potentially better pathway to a collective afterlife than the traditional biological pathway (i.e. there are reasons to favour this pathway and there are no good defeaters to trying it out). Both of these arguments are defended from a variety of objections and misunderstandings. 1. Introduction This article defends an unusual thesis. An illustration might help. In season 3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in an episode entitled “The Offspring”, Lt. Commander Data (an artificial humanoid life-form) decides to create an artificial child of his own. He calls the child “Lal” and gives it the characteristics of a female human. The episode then tells the charming story of Data’s emerging bond with Lal, a bond which is threatened by a group of scientists who try to take her away and study her, and eventually leads to heartbreak as Lal “dies” due to a design fault (though not before Data downloads her memories into his own brain so that a part of her can live on).
