  • Great Ocean Heroes (11:00)
    SC Aquarium Public Program Worksheet (Adapted from NAI, Certified Interpretive Guide Training workbook) Your Name: Kristen and Travis (May 2019) Program Title: Great Ocean Heroes (11:00) Theme: Each ocean animal has a specific role in protecting a healthy marine ecosystem. PROGRAM OUTLINE Introduction: Welcome guests to the SCA, introduce yourself and ask the audience where they’re from. Let them know the G.O.T is the largest exhibit in the Aquarium with roughly 550 animals that call it home. Today, we will be meeting one of our divers and ocean heroes that live in the GOT. Educator: Hello Diver ____, how is the weather inside of the tank? Diver: Hey there! The weather is great in here! *insert temp* Educator: Sounds pretty nice. How deep is that tank you’re swimming in? Diver: The Great Ocean Tank is the deepest tank in North America at 42 feet deep. I am currently about 27 feet deep in the GOT (bottom of big window). Because of the tank being so deep, we are able to show over 40 different species native to South Carolina. Educator: That’s a whole lot of fish. Did you know that some of the animals who live in this tank aren’t just animals? They’re also ocean superheroes! Diver: Whoa… You mean they fight crimes? Educator: Well… not quite. They all play important roles in the ocean and make huge positive impacts on their ecosystem! Today, I’m dressed like my favorite ocean superhero - Coral! It provides a habitat for all kinds of other animals, creating one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet! Diver: Here in the Great Ocean Tank we actually don’t have any coral.

  • Xero Comics 4 Lupoff 1961-04
    For a long time I wondered why I was unable to accept Hollywood’s premise that the Germans in World War II were either misunderstood boys (Marlon Brando in ’"The Young Lions") or really nice guys (Vari Heflin in "Under Ten Flags") while the Americans were deserters or draft dodgers (Montgomery Clift and Dean uartin, respectively, in "The Young Lions") and the British were bumbling, incompetent blowhards (Charles Laughton in "Under Ten Flags"). I was far too young, born in 1955, to remember much of the war and I lost no relatives or friends. Although two of my brothers served in the Navy in the Pacific, my family never told me much about the war. So what could I have against the Germans and Japanese? I think I have finally found the answer: the total propaganda saturation reached me through the comic books, especially through the adventures of the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, and Captain America, and subsidiary characters in the magazines featur­ ing them. 'hen you were raised on these, you learned to hate the enemy. All of these characters got their start in or around 1 959, two years before America got involved in the war, but they really came into their own when Pearl Harbor was attacked, for several reasons. Captain America, of course, was a patriotic hero-figure of a type which couldn't fully flower in peacetime when patriots are "flag-wavers," It took a full-scale war to release the unabashed patriotism which shot him to the top. The Sub-Mariner started out by marauding all shipping, with some emphasis on Amer­ ican vessels.

  • On to the Batboat History !!!
    The 1966 Batman TV Tribute Site - The Batboat !! Page 1 of 8 When Batman and Robin needed to sail the high seas they needed a vehicle that was fast, mobile and deadly. The Batboat was created for the 1966 Batman full length feature movie and was used in the TV series after it's movie appearance. Click For A Larger View ! When I started my research on the Batboat, I had read a few articles that suggested George Barris built the boat. I found this to be completely false ! The Batboat was the creation of Glastron Industries. The masterminds behind this incredible boat were Mel Whitley and Robert Hammond . Both of these men provided history, photos and stories about the creation of the boat and I cant thank them enough for their help !!! On to the Batboat History !!! Lets turn the Batcomputer back to 1966 shall we? http://www.1966batfan.com/batboat1.htm 7/9/2009 The 1966 Batman TV Tribute Site - The Batboat !! Page 2 of 8 We are in Austin Texas walking up to a huge factory, a hint of fiberglass scent is in the air. When we walk in we say hello to Robert Hammond, who is the president of Glastron. You decide that Glastron is no backyard operation, they have been in business for ten years and have been a leader in that new boat material, fiberglass. Click For Larger Photo ! You glance in and notice that the company just purchased a new IBM punch card computer for it's accounting department so they sure are up to date ! We walk down the hall and get introduced to Mel Whitley, he is the man responsible for bringing the Batboat to life ! So with the introductions out of the way, let us look back on how the Batboat came to be.

  • Captain America Symbole Et Propagande
    Swann OUTIN – École de Guerre Économique – Stratégie d’Intelligence Économique Captain America Symbole et propagande Promotion 2004 – Article Infoguerre – 20/10/2004 – Page 1 Swann OUTIN – École de Guerre Économique – Stratégie d’Intelligence Économique Les origines de la légende Dès ses origines, le personnage qui nous intéresse possède tous les attributs du symbole. Faible orphelin idéaliste devenu le combattant au drapeau, plus grand soldat de l’histoire des États-Unis d’Amérique, il représente une certaine forme de modèle contemporain du guerrier. Il en possède tous les attributs… Physiques, tout d’abord, avec un costume fonctionnel faisant office d’armure, et un bouclier, arme défensive, dont il ne se sépare jamais et se sert fréquemment comme projectile. Puis psychologiques, puisqu’il est animé par des idéaux de liberté, de tolérance et de justice, mis au service de son pays. Mais il n’est pas qu’un symbole d’accomplissement ou de patriotisme. Au pays du possible, le héros est devenu bien plus que cela : dès les années 1940, il était un vecteur de propagande américaine, aujourd’hui, il est un modèle instrumentalisé de culture. Le personnage de Steve Rogers, alias Captain America, fait son apparition en 1941 dans le premier numéro de Captain America Comics. Jeune homme frêle né durant la Dépression, Steve Rogers est issu d’une famille pauvre. Son père, Joseph, meurt durant l’enfance du garçon, suivi par son épouse, Sarah, alors que le futur héros arrive à la majorité et tente de vivre de sa peinture. Outré par un flash d’informations étalant les crimes nazis commis en Europe, Steve décide de s’enrôler dans l’armée, mais est vite refusé à cause de son physique jugé trop chétif.
