OCEAN-THEMED RESORT ATLANTIS, THE PALM, GIVES GUESTS AND VISITORS THE CHANCE TO LIVE LIKE THE SUPER HERO WITH THE ULTIMATE “AQUAMAN” MOVIE- INSPIRED PACKAGE As the official hotel partner of the Warner Bros. Pictures action adventure “Aquaman”, Atlantis is giving fans the chance to “breathe”, walk and live underwater, just like the aquatic DC Super Hero DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai has partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures for the “Aquaman” movie launch, to give guests and visitors a taste of what it’s like to live the life of the aquatic Super Hero. The ocean-themed entertainment resort is offering fans a chance to harness Aquaman’s superpowers by “breathing” underwater and exploring the deep, with 20% off general online admission prices on all dive activities in The Ambassador Lagoon on visits from 12th December until 31st January 2019. Guests simply need to present an Aquaman movie ticket/receipt to redeem on activities including Atlantis Aquatrek, Ray Feeding, Shark Safari, Ultimate Snorkel, Dive Discovery, Dive Explorer and the chilling Predator Dive. Bookings can be made at The Lost Chambers Aquarium Ticketing Plaza or by calling 04 426 1040. As the official hotel partner of the movie, the iconic entertainment resort destination—which majestically rises from the Arabian Gulf—has also pulled together the ultimate “Aquaman Package”, giving guests the chance to live just like the half-surface dweller, half-Atlantean and heir to the throne of the underwater city of Atlantis. Worth an impressive AED 50,200, the ultimate “Aquaman Package” includes: • A stay for two adults in an Underwater Suite for two nights. Each Underwater Suite comes equipped with a 24-hour butler and floor-to-ceiling views looking upon the majestic underwater Ambassador Lagoon. • A Dolphin Adventure for two at Dolphin Bay. Guests can swim with dolphins in this deep-water encounter. • A Fish Tales Tour for two in The Lost Chambers Aquarium. Whilst Atlantis, The Palm can’t teach guests to communicate telepathically to fish like Aquaman can, they can help budding ichthyologists get well acquainted with various species. During the tour, guests will be introduced to some of the 65,000 marine animals that call Atlantis their home, including a visit to the shark and ray nursery. • A private personal training session for two in ShuiQi Spa and Fitness followed by a 60-minute full body massage. First develop superhuman strength like Aquaman, then relax like a Super Hero, too. • An Atlantis Aquatrek experience for two. What’s a day in the life of Aquaman without being able to breath underwater? Atlantis invites guests to do just that with a special scuba experience. • An underwater dinner for two in the award-winning seafood restaurant Ossiano. In the film, Aquaman spends a lot of time in the water, but also steps onto solid ground to visit his dad and sample a beverage or two, and maybe a little seafood. Guests can therefore dine their way through a seven-course set menu with wine pairing, while otherworldly stingrays glide by like small Atlantean ships. Price is on application and T&C’s apply. To book email [email protected] For the months of December and January, Atlantis The Palm will come to life with an “Aquaman” movie- inspired theme, providing touchpoints for guests and visitors to “interact” with the Super Hero. Guests can grab a selfie with a two-metre tall Aquaman statue in The Lost Chambers Aquarium, enjoy an “Aquaman”-themed cocktail, and watch unique action-loaded, behind-the-scenes footage of the movie on in-resort screens. Guests and residents can also book the Aquaman staycation package, which includes a 3-night stay in a room or suite with a complimentary Aquatrek experience for two guests. Stays must be booked by 31st January and redeemed by 31st December 2019. Prices start at 999AED. From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman”, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king. The film also stars Amber Heard, Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman. Wan directs from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Will Beall, story by Geoff Johns & James Wan and Will Beall, based on characters created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger for DC. The film is produced by Peter Safran and Rob Cowan, with Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Jon Berg, Geoff Johns and Walter Hamada serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Peter Safran Production, a James Wan Film, “Aquaman” which will hit UAE theaters on December 13th in 3D and 2D and IMAX and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. ***ENDS** MEDIA INQUIRIES Andrea Krenn Vice President, Public Relations Mobile: (+971) 566818025 Email: [email protected] Rebecca Hall Director, Public Relations Mobile: (+971) 551100153 Email: [email protected] For further information about Atlantis please call +971 4 426 1000, or visit atlantisthepalm.com.

    Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths

    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

    Superman-The Movie: Extended Cut the Music Mystery

    SUPERMAN-THE MOVIE: EXTENDED CUT THE MUSIC MYSTERY An exclusive analysis for CapedWonder™.com by Jim Bowers and Bill Williams NOTE FROM JIM BOWERS, EDITOR, CAPEDWONDER™.COM: Hi Fans! Before you begin reading this article, please know that I am thrilled with this new release from the Warner Archive Collection. It is absolutely wonderful to finally be able to enjoy so many fun TV cut scenes in widescreen! I HIGHLY recommend adding this essential home video release to your personal collection; do it soon so the Warner Bros. folks will know that there is still a great deal of interest in vintage films. The release is only on Blu-ray format (for now at least), and only available for purchase on-line Yes! We DO Believe A Man Can Fly! Thanks! Jim It goes without saying that one of John Williams’ most epic and influential film scores of all time is his score for the first “Superman” film. To this day it remains as iconic as the film itself. From the Ruby- Spears animated series to “Seinfeld” to “Smallville” and its reappearance in “Superman Returns”, its status in popular culture continues to resonate. Danny Elfman has also said that it will appear in the forthcoming “Justice League” film. When word was released in September 2017 that Warner Home Video announced plans to release a new two-disc Blu-ray of “Superman” as part of the Warner Archive Collection, fans around the world rejoiced with excitement at the news that the 188-minute extended version of the film - a slightly shorter version of which was first broadcast on ABC-TV on February 7 & 8, 1982 - would be part of the release.

DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

    Why No Wonder Woman?

    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.
