^ McAvennie, Michael "1960s" in Dolan, p. 131 "Carmine Infantino wanted to rejuvenate what had been perceived as a tired Wonder Woman, so he assigned writer Denny O'Neil and artist Mike Sekowsky to convert the Amazon Princess into a secret agent. Wonder Woman was made over into an Emma Peel type and what followed was arguably the most controversial period in the hero's history."
Years later, their deceit was discovered by Hippolyta. Angry at Antiope for defying her decision, Hippolyta sent Diana back to her room so that she could speak to her sister alone. Antiope reasoned with the Queen, reminding her that Ares was alive and would come for Diana some day. Hippolyta accepted this with some difficulty, and ordered Antiope to train Diana harder than any Amazon before her, until she was better than even Antiope herself, the Amazons' fiercest warrior. Thus, with the blessing of her mother, Diana formally began extensive training in all forms of Amazonian combat. Over the years, she became a formidable warrior.
In the wake of the 1954 hearings, DC Comics removed Bender from its editorial advisory board, and the Comics Magazine Association of America adopted a new code. Under its terms, comic books could contain nothing cruel: "All scenes of horror, excessive bloodshed, gory or gruesome crimes, depravity, lust, sadism, masochism shall not be permitted." There could be nothing kinky: "Illicit sex relations are neither to be hinted at nor portrayed. Violent love scenes as well as sexual abnormalities are unacceptable." And there could be nothing unconventional: "The treatment of love-romance stories shall emphasize the value of the home and the sanctity of marriage."

ISBN 0821220764. Creator William Moulton Marston had mixed Roman gods in with the Greek, but Pérez kept things straight even when it involved using a less familiar name like 'Ares' instead of 'Mars'. The new version also jettisoned the weird technology anachronistically present on the original Paradise Island.
In May 2017, early tracking had Wonder Woman opening with $65–75 million, and possibly as high as $105 million.[177][178][179][180][174] The film opened Friday, June 2, 2017, across 4,165 theaters and made $38.7 million on its opening day, including $3.7 million in IMAX. It was the biggest single-day gross for a woman-directed film, ahead of the $35.9 million opening Friday of Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight in 2008 and the biggest opening day for a woman-led comic book superhero film, ahead of Ghost in the Shell ($7 million).[181] This included $11 million it made from Thursday previews, also the best start for a film directed by a woman, surpassing Fifty Shades of Grey's $8.6 million which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, and the third-biggest of the year, behind Beauty and the Beast and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Of that, $1.5 million came from IMAX screenings.[182][183]
The American theme of Diana's costume was explained by Pérez in the Challenge of the Gods storyline in which Diana engaged in a series of trials arranged by Zeus as punishment for refusing his advances. Diana met the spirit of Steve Trevor's mother, Diana Trevor, who was clad in armor identical to her own. Trevor revealed that during World War II she had crashed on Themyscira while on duty as a U.S. Army pilot. She blundered into an Amazon battle against Cottus, a multi-armed demon, at the portal to the underworld. Trevor was drawn into the battle, although she was armed only with her side arm. She wounded the beast before suffering a mortal blow, allowing the Amazons to reseal the portal.[37]
Ares told Diana that he had been imprisoned by the other Gods of Olympus and bound in chains that were secured by Aphrodite through the power of her love. He also told her that years ago, Phobos and Deimos had implanted false memories of Themyscira into her mind, and these had caused her to imagine aspects of her past that had never happened in reality. Meanwhile, Phobos and Deimos entered Themyscira and battled with the Amazons. Diana knew what she had to do, and called Ares to unite her with Phobos and Deimos. He teleported them to her, and using her Lasso of Truth, Wonder Woman bound them through the power of her unconditional love for them, as Aphrodite had done to Ares. With the twin gods defeated, Diana attempted to leave Ares' prison along with Veronica and Izzy, however Izzy's essence had been attached to the realm and could not return to Earth. Izzy was forced to either live out the rest of her days in the prison or live in Themyscira as an Amazon for eternity. She chose the latter and Veronica said goodbye to her daughter. Diana was briefly reunited with her mother, for the first time since she left the island.[8]
In her false memories, the Amazons traditionally procreated by raping and then murdering sailors who happened too close to their island. Hippolyta was barren, and legend told that Diana was born of her mother's strong desire for a child, a lump of clay brought to life in the form of a girl; the perfect Amazon, as she was born of no man.[9] The truth, though, was that Hippolyta had had an affair with Zeus, and Diana's real parentage was hidden in order to protect the Queen and her daughter from the wrath of Zeus' notoriously jealous wife Hera.[10] Unbeknownst to Diana, her mother also gave birth to her twin, a brother named Jason.[11]
Wonder Woman received a largely positive response from film critics, with some calling it the DC Extended Universe's best film, with additional praise highlighting Jenkins's direction, acting, chemistry of Gadot and Pine, musical score, and action sequences.[8][203] On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 425 reviews, with an average rating of 7.66/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Thrilling, earnest, and buoyed by Gal Gadot's charismatic performance, Wonder Woman succeeds in spectacular fashion."[204] It is the second highest-rated superhero film on the site.[10][note 1] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 76 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[205] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 85% overall positive score and a 73% "definite recommend".[206]
Following Pérez, William Messner-Loebs took over as writer and Mike Deodato became the artist for the title. Messner-Loebs introduced Diana's Daxamite friend Julia in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #68 during the six-issue space arc.[38][39] Messner-Loebs's most memorable contribution to the title was the introduction of the red-headed Amazon Artemis, who took over the mantle of Wonder Woman for a short time. He also included a subplot during his run in an attempt to further humanize Diana by having her work for a fictional fast food chain called "Taco Whiz".[9]
Nick Pumphrey stated that Wonder Woman stands as a non-violent beacon of hope and inspiration for women and men.[239][240] Grant Morrison stated "I sat down and I thought, 'I don't want to do this warrior woman thing.' I can understand why they're doing it, I get all that, but that's not what [Wonder Woman creator] William Marston wanted, that's not what he wanted at all! His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood-curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it's all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera. Marston's Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist."[241][242][243][244][245]
In 2011's The New 52, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of publications to attract a new generation of readers, and thus released volume 4 of the Wonder Woman comic book title. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were assigned writing and art duties respectively and revamped the character's history considerably. In this new continuity, Wonder Woman wears a costume similar to her original Marston costume, utilizes a sword and shield, and has a completely new origin. No longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods, she is, instead, a demi-goddess and the natural-born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. Azzarello and Chiang's revamp of the character was critically acclaimed, but highly divisive among longtime fans of the character.[47][48][49][50]
Before Steppenwolf could kill Cyborg, Superman comes and saves him, by easily overpowering the New God. Bruce tells Superman he needs to buy Cyborg some time to separate the Mother Boxes and to help civilians, Superman catches up with Barry, saying he got the ones on the right. After subduing Steppenwolf again, Victor calls Superman for help with the Mother Boxes. Steppenwolf is not down yet and tries to attack, but Superman freezes Steppenwolf's Axe and Diana breaks it with her Sword, which finally leads to Steppenwolf realizing he has been defeated and is overwhelmed with fear for the first time. He is attacked by his own Parademons before he returns back to Apokolips.[8]
Granted by Hermes (God of Messengers), her top speed has never been well documented, but she has entered the speed force under her own power, implying she can accelerate to at least light speed. The Flash has said that Wonder Woman can easily keep up with him and she has been seen keeping up with Flash going faster than hypersonic speed. She has been shown to be on par with some of the fastest characters in the DC Universe such as Jesse Quick. She can disarm human opponents of their weapons instantly and she can immobilize her opponents in the blink of an eye, as she showed when she speedblitzed White Martian and Genocide into space in no time and was able to take down Amazo before he could finish a word. She is such a well trained athlete that in combat, her reflexes even surprise the likes of Superman.
I read these last few volumes of Wonder Woman because I wanted to stay caught up before Steve Orlando and ultimately G. Willow Wilson take over the title. I've liked James Robinson before (his Starman comic is great), but this run on Wonder Woman was boring and by the numbers. It ended with the new character he had introduced sacrificing himself so the next writers could do their own thing with the title and not worry about this new wrinkle. Which honestly is fine by me because I didn't find the ...more
A Blackfoot demi-god,[52] and a smuggler who trades with both sides of the war and knows how to get people across the front lines.[48][53] On his casting, Brave Rock said, "I had no idea it was for Wonder Woman. I lost it when I showed up and I couldn't remember my lines. I didn't take it literally until a month later, I got a call saying I got the role and they wanted me to fly to London for a fitting."[54] Brave Rock raised several concerns with Jenkins over the representation of the character in the film, particularly that he was not comfortable playing into stereotypes and that he was not keen on his character being simply known as "Chief".[55] Jenkins responded by giving him some extra creative control over his character which Brave Rock says was "unprecedented".[55]
Gaines was hugely relieved, at least until September 1943, when a letter arrived from John D. Jacobs, a U.S. Army staff sergeant in the 291st Infantry, stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. "I am one of those odd, perhaps unfortunate men who derive an extreme erotic pleasure from the mere thought of a beautiful girl, chained or bound, or masked, or wearing extreme high-heels or high-laced boots,—in fact, any sort of constriction or strain whatsoever," Jacobs wrote. He wanted to know whether the author of Wonder Woman himself had in his possession any of the items depicted in the stories, "the leather mask, or the wide iron collar from Tibet, or the Greek ankle manacle? Or do you just 'dream up' these things?"
Later, Etta was released from hospital and Diana accompanied her to her home. She was shot by a sniper, but deflected the bullet and interrogated the attacker, who called herself Mayfly. She revealed that she had attempted to assassinate Wonder Woman in return for a bounty that had been placed on her.[86] Shortly afterwards, Diana was attacked by five more assassins: Cat Eye, Cheshire, Abolith, Baundo and Plastique, the latter of whom revealed that she had planted the bomb at the wedding. Wonder Woman was able to defeat them all with the help of Etta, and they returned to an A.R.G.U.S. facility. There, Sasha Bordeaux informed her that another scientist, Hamilton Revere, had heard of Dr. Crawford's attempts to harvest Diana's DNA, and had apparently hypothesized that it could be used for the treatment of numerous diseases. Wonder Woman was intrigued and decided to seek out Revere of her own accord and hear out his plans.[87] When she arrived, Revere informed her that in truth, he sought to use her DNA to create an army of super-soldiers. He had also used samples of Diana's blood to grant some of his goons super strength, who attacked her. Etta and Steve Trevor arrived to assist Wonder Woman, and together they bound the attackers in the Lasso of Truth, which once again removed the lie within their bodies. Revere was arrested, and Diana returned home with Steve and Etta.[88]
The modern age of the character can be tied to the reboot of the character following Crisis on Infinite Earths. In this the character became defined by the vision of George Perez in a way which the entire concept of the character was defined by his direction. As opposed to the past where the character would get retold origins which would try to make her more contemporary, now she got one which tied her much more strongly to the stories of the ancient gods. For the first time Diana enters Man's World not knowing how to speak English already, and is forced to master the language on her own. In this period she also became much more closely related with modern female issues, and this was usually through her circle of friends – Julia and Vanessa Kapatelis and Mindi Mayer. Such issues as the cultural need for women to be attractive and thin, suicide and the sensationalization of the media as it pertains to women were all addressed. This version of the character also reimagined Steve Trevor as a father figure for Diana as opposed to a romantic counterpart. After Perez's run on the character, she was taken over for a time by William Messner Loebs, who recast her again in somewhat more traditional superhero stories, though in this case she still explored a different aspect of humanity. After a long space voyage, when she returned home she was forced to work at a fast food restaurant to pay her bills and made friends with a number of people in her "civilian identity." This built up to the revelation of betrayal of her mother, and of Artemis taking over as Wonder Woman for a short time, but this was soon reversed. The following writer was John Byrne, who when he was writing Superman in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC universe, had hinted at a relationship between Diana and Superman. This was explored occasionally under his run, but it is probably best known for the death of Diana, and the assumption of her duties by Hippolyta. She was soon returned to life (as she had never really died, instead having been deified). This period also introduced Cassandra Sandsmark, who would go on to become Wonder Girl at a later point. The remainder of this second series is best remembered for by the writing of Jimenez and Rucka, both of whom helped define the character. The latter during the lead-in of events to Infinite Crisis had Diana fighting Superman who was being controlled by Maxwell Lord. Battered after their battle, Diana has managed to stop Superman by using her lasso of truth on Lord, and the only option which she is given to stopping him is to kill him, and realizing this is the case, she does so. This created a controversy both within comics and in the real world, as both fans and characters alike debated the morality of this decision. In comics this also led to strained relations between her and Superman and her and Batman and with the addition of the events of Identity Crisis, helped to lead to the breakup of the Justice League of America at a crucial point right before the main events of Infinite Crisis were about to begin.
Chris Pine was cast as Steve Trevor,[21][114] a character he described as a "rogue-ish, cynical realist who's seen the awful brutish nature of modern civilization" and added that he is a "worldly guy, a charming guy".[115] He signed a multi-picture deal.[21] Lucy Davis' performance as Etta Candy is the first live-action cinematic portrayal of the character.[116] As well, Elena Anaya's performance as Doctor Poison is the cinematic debut of that character. Nicole Kidman was in negotiations for the role of Queen Hippolyta, but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Big Little Lies.[117][118]
Voiced by Michelle Monaghan. Based on the story ''Justice League Origins'', where Darkseid invades earth, only to fail due to its heroes. Wonder Woman is first seen with Steve Trevor, where she is supposed to meet the president of the United States, but he isn't there. After the Mother Boxes opens up boomtubes, she defeats multiple soldiers of Apokolips, but flies to Air Force One to protect the president. After battling some opponents, she meets Superman, and from there they proceed to meet other heroes. The battle and Superman gets knocked out and is about to be made a soldier by Desaad but Batman manages to save him in time. Wonder Woman then proceeds to battle Darkseid along with the rest of the Justice League, and succsessfully sends him back throug a boomtube.
Elise Jost of Moviepilot observed that "Gadot's take on Wonder Woman is one of those unique cases of an actor merging with their story, similar to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman is Gal Gadot."[202] Jost praised Gadot's interpretation of Wonder Woman as the one in which Gadot "absolutely nails the character's unwaveringly positive outlook on life. She's a force of nature who believes in the greater good; her conviction that she's meant to save the world is stronger than her bullet-deflecting shield. She's genuine, she's fun, she's the warm source of energy at the heart of the movie."[202] The Federalist suggests that Wonder Woman is "a story of Jesus". "The movie is wrapped up in faux Greek mythology, true, but there's no mistaking the Christology here."[219] "Perhaps Christ in the form of a beautiful and kick-ass Amazon is all that our contemporary society can handle right now", stated M. Hudson, a Christian feminist.[219] On HuffPost cultural critic, G. Roger Denson, who regards the superhero genre as a source of contemporary "Mainstream Mythopoetics" ("the making of new yet vitally meaningful, if not symbolic, stories filled with imagery reflecting, yet also shaping and advancing, the political, legal, moral and social practices of today"), wrote that the "No Man's Land" scene "that people are crying over in theaters and raving about afterward happens to be among the most powerfully mythopoetic scenes ever filmed at the same time it is one of the oldest myths to have been utilized by artists and writers after it had been invented by early military strategists and leaders." Specifically "used by director Patty Jenkins", the scene raises "the esteem for powerful yet compassionate women as heroes and leaders to a level equal with that of men for having won over a huge and adoring popular audience around the world".[220]
In the issue's most surprising twist, made clear in this preview, is that the comic will begin after Diana's battle with the Dark Gods. Parting ways with Steve Trevor after the battle isn't a shock, since fans expect it to be a big, future-altering showdown for Diana (and potentially even more humans). But the fact that the future of Jason is left unclear may be the biggest tease.
After Sekowsky's run ended in the early 1970s, Diana's roots were reverted to her old mythological ones and she wore a more modernized version of her original outfit, a predecessor to her "bathing suit" outfit.[194] Later, in 1976, her glowing white belt was turned into a yellow one.[194] For Series 3, artist Terry Dodson redrew her outfit as a strapless swimsuit.[195]
A stand-alone #0 Issue was released in September which explored Diana's childhood and her tutelage under Ares, the God of War.[76] The issue was narrated in the style of a typical Golden Age comic book and saw Diana in her childhood years. The main plot of the issue was Diana training under Ares as he thought of her being an extraordinary girl with immense potential. The issue ultimately concluded with Diana learning and experiencing the importance of mercy, as she hesitates and refuses to kill the Minotaur- a task given to her by Ares; however, this show of mercy makes her a failure in Ares' eyes.
In the preview in DC Comics Presents #41 (January 1982), writer Roy Thomas and penciler Gene Colan provided Wonder Woman with a stylized "WW" emblem on her bodice, replacing the traditional eagle.[17] The "WW" emblem, unlike the eagle, could be protected as a trademark and therefore had greater merchandising potential. Wonder Woman #288 (February 1982) premiered the new costume and an altered cover banner incorporating the "WW" emblem.[18] The new emblem was the creation of Milton Glaser, who also designed the "bullet" logo adopted by DC in 1977, and the cover banner was originally made by studio letterer Todd Klein, which lasted for a year and a half before being replaced by a version from Glaser's studio.[19][20] Dann Thomas co-wrote Wonder Woman #300 (Feb. 1983)[21][22] and, as Roy Thomas noted in 1999 "became the first woman ever to receive scripting credit on the world's foremost super-heroine."[23]
To defend himself against critics, Gaines, in 1940, hired Marston as a consultant. "'Doc' Marston has long been an advocate of the right type of comic magazines," he explained. Marston held three degrees from Harvard, including a PhD in psychology. He led what he called "an experimental life." He'd been a lawyer, a scientist and a professor. He is generally credited with inventing the lie detector test: He was obsessed with uncovering other people's secrets. He'd been a consulting psychologist for Universal Pictures. He'd written screenplays, a novel and dozens of magazine articles. Gaines had read about Marston in an article in Family Circle magazine. In the summer of 1940, Olive Richard, a staff writer for the magazine, visited Marston at his house in Rye, New York, to ask him for his expert opinion about comics.
Trudging on, Hades expects their presence and tries sending spirits in order to stall and attack Diana and Hermes. Successfully defeating them, they wonder through a forest and find a cabin resembling Zola's farm house. Zola pops out and happily hugs Wonder Woman. Hades at that moment makes his grand entrance and frees them. Though, just before they escape, Hades beckons Wonder Woman to look behind, and shoots her with Eros pistols. She urges Hermes and Zola to leave while she is left at the mercy of Hades who wants her to be his bride. Here, she is preparing to wed Hades when she gives Diana her lasso, saying that if he truly loves him, she will confess it due to the properties of the lasso. She says yes, but will not go on with the wedding as it is more or less forced and not real love. She escapes his clutches and shoots him as a means of payback for shooting her.
Wonder Woman's outfit has varied over time, although almost all of her outfit incarnations have retained some form of chestplate, subligaculum, tiara, bracelets, and her signature five-pointed star symbols. When Wonder Woman was first introduced, she wore a heavily patriotic skirt and red top which incorporated an American eagle and elements of the United States flag, reflecting the comic's origins during World War II. Later artists introduced what would become Wonder Woman's classic ensemble, adding an armored plate to her top whose design recalls a letter W and revealing blue short shorts, whose precise length varied from artist to artist. Other artists have experimented with different looks for Wonder Woman over the years, including an all-white mod jumpsuit, a biker outfit, a variation of her mainstream depiction featuring leather pants and a jacket, and a number of armoured battlesuits. Contemporary artists have attempted to emphasise Wonder Woman's traditional outfit as a red armored top with a blue gladiator skirt.
In March 2005, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the film.[74] Early drafts of his screenplay included Steve Trevor as the narrator, a fierce battle between Diana and her mother over Trevor's welfare, and after leaving Themyscira, his need to frequently rescue a Diana rendered helpless by the modern world.[75] Whedon was not able to complete a final version of his screenplay, and left the project in 2007.[76][77]
I am sooooo happy to hear you say this! YES! I was worried about saying Jason wasn't part of Wilson's run. I'm a very anti-spoiler guy so I typed and deleted that point a few times. BUT ultimately I thought I didn't know how or why he wasn't there so I couldn't spoil his arc for you AND if there was a character who frustrated me as much as he frustrates you, I'd like to know there was relief coming. So, whew! Foot-in-mouth mistake averted :).
It's strange to think that an issue that is mostly a fight scene would be a slow one. Wonder Woman and Jason go up against King Best with cool powers and team attacks. The problem, however, is that it continues to cut away from this action by showing what the other Dark Gods are doing. While it would be interesting to see such at the beginning, it is spread throughout and bogs the whole story down. I want to look at Wonder Woman and her brother fight a giant god, not learn that a random guy is hypnotized by a Dark God. It's choppy storytelling like this that makes the comic feel more like a chore to read.
Hidden behind this controversy is one reason for all those chains and ropes, which has to do with the history of the fight for women's rights. Because Marston kept his true relationship with Olive Byrne a secret, he kept his family's ties to Margaret Sanger a secret, too. Marston, Byrne and Holloway, and even Harry G. Peter, the artist who drew Wonder Woman, had all been powerfully influenced by the suffrage, feminism and birth control movements. And each of those movements had used chains as a centerpiece of its iconography.
Meanwhile, the New God Orion had learned that a great danger was to be found on Earth in the form of the child of a god. He sought out his old friend Milan for help. Nearby, Diana and Lennox decided to seek Milan by themselves, leaving Zola and Hera to bicker with one another in the meantime. They found him in the old subway system with Orion. Though their encounter began violently, Lennox managed to explain that they had accounted for six of the seven children of Zeus.[28] Orion believed that one of those seven was the child that he had been sent to kill. Lennox and Diana concluded that he was referring to Zola's kidnapped son, and so they convinced Milan to search through the ether until he located the boy in the arms of Demeter.[29] When they all returned to Manhattan to find Zola and Hera in a bar with War, Diana managed to convince her uncle to lead her to Demeter's domain.[30]
The American theme of Diana's costume was explained by Pérez in the Challenge of the Gods storyline in which Diana engaged in a series of trials arranged by Zeus as punishment for refusing his advances. Diana met the spirit of Steve Trevor's mother, Diana Trevor, who was clad in armor identical to her own. Trevor revealed that during World War II she had crashed on Themyscira while on duty as a U.S. Army pilot. She blundered into an Amazon battle against Cottus, a multi-armed demon, at the portal to the underworld. Trevor was drawn into the battle, although she was armed only with her side arm. She wounded the beast before suffering a mortal blow, allowing the Amazons to reseal the portal.[37]
James Robinson is a British writer, best known for his work in comic books and screenplays. He is well-known for his encyclopedic knowledge of comic book continuity, especially regarding the Golden Age of comic books. His earliest comic book work came in the late 1980s, but he became best known for his revitalization of the character Starman for DC comics in the 1990s. In addition, he has written ...more
Later, Diana is seen in the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities (with ancient Greco-Roman exhibits), conversing with an elderly couple, when the curator comes up, and offers to show her something of interest. She politely excuses herself and follows him to the exhibit of the fake replica of Alexander the Great's sword, which the ancient conqueror of the Middle East had used to cut the Gordian knot.
As you know, I'm a total Wonder Woman newbie – my reading limited to G. Willow Wilson's run and then (following your recommendations 🙂 ) I've begun sampling George Perez and just a hint of Greg Rucka. But what intrigues me most when I read your posts on these issues is this Jason cat doesn't appear anywhere in G. Willow Wilson's run. At least not yet. So I will be super interested for you to get to the end of this run so I know if she, like you, just didn't like him and chose to write him out OR if there was some narrative twist that explains his absence.
Following the events of Infinite Crisis, she disappeared for a year in order to rediscover herself, and took part briefly in the events of 52. In the span of One Year Later, she was re-imagined once again and was forgiven by Batman and Superman while given her third ongoing monthly title. Batman helped her establish a role at the Department of Metahuman Affairs under the name of Diana Prince (paying homage to her golden age alter ego.) She worked alongside Tom Tresser and eventually became romantically involved with him. A move among fans across the different companies occurred with characters reverting to their original numbering of series (this for instance happened to Iron Man at Marvel as well) and the third Wonder Woman series was relaunched with Wonder Woman #600. This was actually accurate at the time as it was the indeed the 600 issue released (not including issues numbered otherwise such as with a zero or a million). Issue 600 was used as a chance to reinvent the character as she discovers herself with no memories and in a new costume. This was a short lived experiment as the entire DC lineup was soon to be re-imagined into the new 52, though certain aspects of her redesigned costume remained.
Artemis of Bana-Mighdall briefly served as Wonder Woman during Hippolyta's trials for a new Wonder Woman. Orana, a character similar to Artemis, defeated Diana in a new contest and became Wonder Woman in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity. Orana was killed during her first mission. Others who have donned the Wonder Woman persona include Nubia, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Donna Troy.
Arcane Lore Expert: Wonder Woman, as both an Amazon demigoddess and an antiquities expert, possesses immense knowledge of and skill in wielding mystical artifacts and arcane lore, notably her Sword of Athena and Lasso of Hestia. Her encyclopedic knowledge was demonstrated when Wonder Woman reacted in dismay to Lex Luthor's speech (knowing how he had twisted the Olympians' history concerning Zeus and Prometheus), when she instantly identified a Parademon in Commissioner Gordon's sketch, and when she explained the history behind Steppenwolf and the 3 Mother Boxes to the remainder of the Justice League.
With a new decade arriving, DC president Jenette Kahn ordered a revamp in Wonder Woman's appearance. Artist Milton Glaser, who also designed the "bullet" logo adopted by DC in 1977, created a stylized "WW" emblem that evoked and replaced the eagle in her bodice and debuted in 1982.[39] The emblem in turn was incorporated by studio letterer Todd Klein onto the monthly title's logo, which lasted for a year and a half before being replaced by a version from Glaser's studio.[40] With sales of the title continuing to decline in 1985 (despite an unpublished revamp that was solicited), the series was canceled and ended in issue #329 (February 1986) written by Gerry Conway, depicting Steve Trevor's marriage to Wonder Woman.
In the New 52, the night when she turned 8, Ares appeared before Diana and offered to train her above and beyond the abilities of the Amazons, having seen her potential to eventually become his replacement as the God of War. Though the training was one for one night each month, the year was noticed with Diana improving tremendously compared to the other Amazons.
Granted by Hermes (God of Messengers), her top speed has never been well documented, but she has entered the speed force under her own power, implying she can accelerate to at least light speed. The Flash has said that Wonder Woman can easily keep up with him and she has been seen keeping up with Flash going faster than hypersonic speed.

She is such a well trained athlete that in combat, her reflexes even surprise the likes of Superman.
The "Year One" storyline retells Diana's origin growing up on Themyscira. She lives an idyllic life and harbors interest for the outside world, and the first connection to it comes in the form of Steve Trevor, who crashes on the island and is the sole survivor. A contest is held to determine which Amazon is the best candidate to take Steve home, with Diana volunteering despite knowing the cost to leave the island is to never return. Diana wins the contest and departs with Steve. Once arriving in America, Diana is taken into custody by the government to discern her origins. She meets Etta Candy and Barbara Ann Minerva along the way. While incarcerated Diana is visited by the gods in animal form and bestow upon her powers of strength, speed, agility, durability, and flight. She discovers Ares, the god of war, is working to destroy humanity. Accepting her new role in Man's World, Diana, with the help of the gods in animal form, subdues Ares with the lasso. Now called Wonder Woman, Diana becomes one of the world's greatest heroes.
After taking on the mantle God of War after killing her mentor War. Diana have shown some new abilities. She can now telepathically communicate and control all soldiers on the planet since she is their greatest leader. She hasn't shown the ability, but as her predecessor was able to bring back dead soldiers to fight alongside him, she might be able to do so as well.
It's strange to think that an issue that is mostly a fight scene would be a slow one. Wonder Woman and Jason go up against King Best with cool powers and team attacks. The problem, however, is that it continues to cut away from this action by showing what the other Dark Gods are doing. While it would be interesting to see such at the beginning, it is spread throughout and bogs the whole story down. I want to look at Wonder Woman and her brother fight a giant god, not learn that a random guy is hypnotized by a Dark God. It's choppy storytelling like this that makes the comic feel more like a chore to read.
Despite helping win the war, defeating Ares and still loving humanity, Diana is still left sobered, emotionally broken, psychologically scarred, and devastated over not having been able to save the Belgian village from Dr. Poison, as well as over her beloved Steve Trevor's self-sacrificing death. Indeed, Diana would later claim that she "would never be the same" ever again after World War I. Moreover, in the years that followed, Diana bore witness to a "century of horrors" (Wars, Fascism, Communism, nuclear weapons' deployment, geopolitical brinkmanship, racism, homophobia, genocides, war crimes, propaganda, and etc.), and due to all of this occurring without Ares being there to spread corruption, Diana almost completely lost faith in humanity, coming to believe that humans "made a world where standing together is impossible".[4] As such, Diana resolved to mostly abandon superheroism for 100 years.[5]
Jason does go away at the end of this issue – won't spoil why or how – but I am VERY relieved to hear he's not in Wilson's run. I'm so unimpressed by his character that I'd been dreading picking up the next volume (file under: things I never thought I'd say about reading WW X,D). Now that I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm more inclined to pick it up. For now I'm having a lot of fun with Batgirl & the Birds of Prey!
Wonder Woman experienced significant changes from the late 1950s through the 1960s during the Silver Age of Comic Books. Harry G. Peter was replaced by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito in issue #98 (May 1958),[6][7] and the character was revamped as were other characters in the Silver Age. In Diana's new origin story (issue #105), it is revealed that her powers are gifts from the gods. Receiving the blessing of each deity in her crib, Diana is destined to become as "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, stronger than Hercules, and swifter than Mercury". Further changes included the removal of all World War II references from Wonder Woman's origin, the changing of Hippolyta's hair color to blonde, Wonder Woman's new ability to glide on air currents, and the introduction of the rule that Paradise Island would be destroyed if a man ever set foot on it.[1]
The New 52 version of the character has been portrayed to be a younger, more headstrong, loving, fierce and willful person.[citation needed] Brian Azzarello stated in a video interview with DC Comics that they're building a very "confident", "impulsive" and "good-hearted" character in her. He referred to her trait of feeling compassion as both her strength and weakness.[75]
She has also become romantically involved with Superman, which has stirred some controversy in the fan community. One criticism is that her comic mythology is/will be supplanted by Superman's, and she will be relegated to the role of supporting character in his mythos. However, Wonder Woman's popularity and the sales of her solo book run contrary to this theory. Currently she is under the creative team of Meredith and David Finch. Their story arc has mainly focused on Diana's humanity and how she deals with multiple relationships and responsibilities. She is shown as a character with great hardships in juggling her many "hats" as queen of the Amazons, Justice League Member, and God of War. There has been some dissension on Paradise Island and there is a plan to over throw Diana as queen. Donna Troy has been introduced into the New 52 universe as a being made from Hippolyta's clay remains and from an unknown Amazon. She is magically made to be Diana's counter. In upcoming solicitations it is said Donna was specifically made to have her strengths be Diana's weaknesses, whatever that might mean is still unknown. Her relationship with Superman has been focused more on the Superman/Wonder Woman title and most recently it has shown the trust they have for one another and the compassion and leadership skills Diana wields. She is shown to pick saving helpless humans over helping Superman who is under a magic spell. It is later revealed however, that before she went to save the humans, she placed her lasso of truth on Superman, which broke the spell he was under.
Thus although by the modern depiction her accomplishments at the time seem ordinary, in that era they were more so. Diana Prince was originally an army nurse, but quickly attained the rank of lieutenant in Army Intelligence. This was partially a creative convenience so that she could be close to both Steve Trevor and received information which she needed to pursue her superheroics. In the real world though, this role in Army intelligence, even as the secretary to General Darnell, was still a rare position for a woman to hold in society. At this time as well, the character had her only real sidekicks in her history in the form of Etta Candy and the Holliday Girls. These characters gave the Wonder Woman a degree more of levity while also allowing the writers to focus on some issues which were more related to women. When Marston left the character, the strong driving force of the character to act as a strong moral guide and role model for female readers left as well and the character became more sensitive to the forces driving the industry as whole. Thus Wonder Woman changed somewhat to a more stereotypical woman. Her main interest was not always fighting crime, but for a time it became all in the interest of keeping Steve Trevor happy and interested in her for marriage. Also the backup stories featuring the Wonder Women of History were slowly phased out and replaced with features on marriage customs from around the world and trivial facts on random household objects.
Paquette detailed the changes he made to Wonder Woman's costume, stating that he removed the iconic American flag theme and instead incorporated a Greek influence: "The animal associated to Aphrodite is a dove so instead of an eagle on [Wonder Woman's] breastplate, it will be more of a dove. It's not the American eagle, it's the Aphrodite dove. Stuff that creates [the letter] W is by accident, so it's not like she already has a letter of the alphabet on her [costume]. In the end I've created a structure so it feels inevitable for Wonder Woman to look the way she does."[246]
The First Born imprisoned Wonder Woman in what remained of Olympus and ordered his forces to attack Themyscira. As they watched the confrontation, the First Born offered her a place in his goals of conquest, but she steadfastly refused, causing him to thrust a spike into her side.[46] As Diana lied mortally wounded, Eris dragged her to Themyscira, for she wanted Diana to see her home destroyed and humiliate her. Recovering her strength, Wonder Woman punched Eris down and took Zola and Zeke to Olympus. Her plan was to place Zeke on the throne, so that he could be the new king of Olympus and end the bloodshed, but before she could, Poseidon revealed his presence.[47]
The Diana Prince alias also played an important role after the events of Infinite Crisis. Wonder Woman was broadcast worldwide killing a villain named Maxwell Lord, as he was mind controlling Superman into killing Batman. When Wonder Woman caught him in her lasso, demanding to know how to stop Superman, Maxwell revealed that the only way to stop him was to kill Lord, so as a last resort Diana snapped his neck.[63][64] To recover from the trauma of killing another person, the Amazon went into a self-imposed exile for one year.[65] On her return to public life, Diana realized that her life as a full-time celebrity superhero and ambassador had kept her removed from humanity. Because of this she assumed the persona of Diana Prince and became an agent at the Department of Metahuman Affairs. During a later battle with the witch Circe, a spell was placed on Diana leaving her powerless when not in the guise of Wonder Woman.[66]
Cheetah isn't the only one experiencing unexplained bouts of rage; this type of behavior is happening globally. Across the globe, thousands of people are lashing out in anger, rioting and swearing off the gods they once worshiped, all of them praising that these next gods, the Dark Gods, will be coming soon. According to Trevor, those that are affected by this rage are people whose confidence and belief in their respective gods is shaken, no matter who they are, and no matter what planet they come from.
Trevor was taken to be interrogated using the Lasso of Hestia. Though he tried to resist the lasso's power at first, unwilling to reveal military secrets, he nonetheless was powerless to withstand it and admitted that he was a spy. He told them that he'd been on a mission to observe General Ludendorff and Doctor Poison, that he'd stolen the latter's research notebook, and that his escape had brought himself and the Germans to Themyscira. He described the Great War, informing them that millions of people had died. Hearing this, Diana deduced that only Ares could be behind a war of that magnitude. She tried to persuade Hippolyta to send the Amazons back with him to face the god, but her mother refused, much to Diana's confusion.
Wonder Woman and the other heroes were finally released from the Firestorm Matrix when Batman used the Lasso of Truth on Firestorm. Superman was still infected with the Kryptonite shard inside his nervous system, but Lex Luthor was able to extract it, saving Superman's life. Luthor also assembled a group of villains that defeated the Crime Syndicate. Later, at the Batcave, Wonder Woman and the Justice League talked about the enemy that destroyed the Crime Syndicate's world and came to the conclusion that Darkseid would return.[74]

The Roman Temple of Évora, which is most commonly known as the Temple of Diana, was nominated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Situated at the heart of the Alentejo, this astonishing temple represents one of the most significant landmarks of Évora, which is related to both the Roman and Lusitanian civilizations that have inhabited Évora in the past. It is believed by both historians and archeologists that the Roman Temple of Évora was build around the first century A.D., in honor of the ruler Augusts, who was venerated both as a great leader and as a god as well. The Roman Temple of Évora was built in the main public square, which is privileged with amazing views of the Alentejo countryside.
The Roman Temple of Évora was firstly destroyed during the 5th century by German invasions. After several other destructive occurrences, the reconstitution of the Temple of Diana began in 1789 by James Murphy. Although the Temple of Diana is considered amongst the best-preserved Roman ruins, it in fact was actually restored based on the Roman style. Later on, and due to the Portuguese Inquisition, religious buildings that started to arise surrounded the Temple of Diana. These religious buildings surrounding the The Roman Temple of Évora included the Sé Cathedral, the Palace of the Inquisition, the Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval, the court of the Inquisition, the public library, the Museum of Évora, and both the church and Loios Convent.
The Temple of Diana at night is completely illuminated, and its impotence is undeniable. This gorgeous Roman Temple is situated directly in front of your gorgeous wedding venue in Portugal; the Cadaval Palace. Therefore, for your destination wedding in Portugal, you will be able to take some of the most amazing pictures right in front of one of the most famous Roman Temples in Portugal. Also, from the Cadaval Palace, you will have some of the most stunning direct views of the Roman Temple of Évora.

Following the end of the TB Europe Network meeting in Kyiv, members of the TB Europe Coalition seized the opportunity of being in Ukraine to meet with local TB civil society organisations (CSOs) and relevant stakeholders in the country. This was the second visit of the TB Europe Coalition to Ukraine, following the first one in November 2010.
On 25 April 2014, a group of TB Europe Coalition members met with the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine. The discussion focused on the work of the European Union (EU) to support the fight against TB in the country and, more in general, the assistance offered by the Delegation to local CSOs.
The representative of the EU Delegation explained that most of the money that the EU invests in TB in Ukraine is channeled through the EU contribution to the Global Fund and general budget support to the Ukrainian government. In spite of this, there may be opportunities for local non-governmental organisations engaged in the fight against TB to access resources, especially in the field of human rights and vulnerable groups, which remain priorities in the EU-Ukraine relations. In this sense, it was underlined that TB CSOs ill increasingly coordinate among each other in order to facilitate a meaningful and regular dialogue with the EU Delegation in Kyiv.
The importance of civil society coordination was incorporated in the conversation that TB Europe Coalition representatives had in the subsequent meeting with civil society organisations on 28 April 2014. The meeting aimed to discuss current challenges and opportunities in Ukraine and explore how the TB Europe Coalition can assist the advocacy work of civil society.
After a short debrief about the scope and results of the TB Europe Network meeting, which also Ukrainian organisations attended, TB Europe Coalition's mission and activities were presented to participants.
The discussion was then opened and focused on challenges for TB in Ukraine. Among the various issues that emerged, insufficient state funding of TB programmes was a major problem. As a consequence, huge differences in TB care and control among regions of Ukraine remains. According to participants, the dispensaries system works poorly and this often challenges access to drugs. In addition, lack of integration of TB and HIV services continue to delay diagnosis and create troubles for patients in accessing the best treatment.
A lot of communalities were found among participants' view on how to change the current situation. First, eliminate barriers to TB diagnosis, treatment and prevention by applying a client-centred approach to the healthcare system and improving access to social and medical services among vulnerable groups. Second, strengthening outpatient's treatment and moving TB treatment to primary and ambulatory care, as a way to improve diagnosis and treatment and save financial resources. Finally, participants agreed on the importance of enhancing advocacy work, as a way for CSOs to influence government process on and financing for TB.
TBEC representatives highlighted that they are ready to support Ukrainian CSOs in reinforcing coordination as a way to strengthen their advocacy work and increase their influence vis-à-vis decision-makers in the country. Ukrainian CSOs recognised that developing a common advocacy strategy would be crucial in this regard and will consider facilitation from the TB Europe Coalition during their next meeting. Stressing the importance of collaboration among CSOs was especially timely considering the need to deliver a national concept note to the Global Fund by mid June.
The TB Europe Coalition would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants for their contribution and reiterate their readiness to fully support TB advocacy work in Ukraine.

Whittling at the deficit
Finance Minister Michael Wilson described it as a "breathing-space" budget. His critics called it an attack on families and the unemployed, while some economists said that the federal government's annual tally of expenditures and revenues was simply boring. But for what it lacked in excitement, the federal plan for the fiscal year beginning April 1 compensated in clarity of purpose. The government, said some analysts, clearly intends to keep whittling away at the federal deficit by raising a swath of taxes on gasoline and tobacco, applying a new tax on snack foods and by refusing to expand government programs. That determination was welcomed in the business community. Said Roger Hamel, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce: "We have had deficit reduction for the third year in a row, and that is good. But we are disappointed that he did not go further down that path." Wilson's budget amounted to a gen-
eral summation on the economic state of the country and left such contentious issues as unemployment, tax reform, transfer payments and regional growth to a future forum. But in one shift the finance minister did use the budget as a vehicle to erase a series of retaliatory and beneficial duties that had been implemented by the present Conservative administration and the previous Liberal government. The lack of major new initiatives in the budget did not, however, prevent wide criticism of Wilson's proposals. Opposition politicians and other critics accused the minister of slashing the deficit at the expense of the middle class, while doing nothing to ease unemployment in the recession-hit Maritimes and Western Canada. Said Richard McAlary, president of the Association of Professional Economists of British Columbia: "There is not even a nod about unemployment. That is saddening."
Still, McAlary predicted that even with its lack of response to unemploy-
ment, Wilson's budget would be effective in international money markets by provoking a favorable response to the Conservative government's budgetary restraint. If the minister can hold spending in the new financial year to his projected $122.6 billion and collect his forecast $93.2 billion in revenue, the deficit will fall to $29.3 billion, down from $32 billion in 19861987 and $34.4 billion in 1985-1986. Two years ago the deficit accounted for 7.4 per cent of the country's gross domestic product, far higher than the comparable U.S. figure of 4.6 per cent. Wilson is predicting that the Canadian figure will fall to 4.4 per cent of the country's gross domestic product in the coming fiscal year.
Still, many businessmen had wanted far deeper cuts in the deficit. Hamel said that the deficit could have been reduced further if the government had chopped away at some social programs. Instead, Wilson stayed with his course of reducing the deficit by increasing taxes and other reve-
nues. Indeed, by the end of the new fiscal year, the amount of personal income tax collected by the federal government will have climbed to $43.3 billion, compared with $29.2 billion in 1984-1985.
As well, employers are being asked to bear the brunt of a new revenueraising measure announced in the budget, said Eric Owen, manager of taxation and financial policy with the Canadian Manufacturers' Association. In a tax-collecting change that will bring the federal government an extra $1.2 billion in the coming fiscal year, companies will be required to speed up remissions to the federal treasury of the income tax, unemployment insurance premiums and Canada Pension Plan contributions that they deduct from their employees. The federal government will now collect the funds twice a month instead of monthly. But Owen HO said that the action will not only load employers with extra paper work, but will deprive companies of a vital source of short-term cash.
Wilson also increased consumer taxes as part of his deficit-fighting program, adding one cent a litre to the tax on gasoline and diesel fuel, more than three cents on a large pack of cigarettes and $4 more on airline tickets. While tax increases in those areas have become a staple of government financing, Wilson also announced that beginning on July 1 the 12per-cent federal sales tax —imposed on the manufacturer's selling price—will be extended to such snack foods as potato chips, nuts, Popsicles and ice cream bars. Predicted Irene Gibb, president of the Confectionery Manufacturers Association of Canada: "The tax will have a devastating effect on the confectionery industry."
The New Democratic Party calculated that the combined tax increases would add on average between $65 and $100 annually to the tax burden on Canadian families. Said NDP Leader Ed Broadbent: "They are even taxing Granola bars for kids." The NDP estimates that altogether the average Canadian family will pay 52 per cent or $1,300 more in taxes in 1987-1988 than it did before Wilson took charge of
federal finances in September, 1984.
Critics in both Eastern and Western Canada, who have been demanding federal measures to assist slumping regional economies, also attacked the budget. Greg Kerr, finance minister in Nova Scotia's Conservative government, said that Wilson's fiscal plan seems to reflect the wealth and continued growth of Ontario, but does virtually nothing to address the economic problems of the depressed areas of Canada. Said Kerr: "The initiatives the feds have been talking about are working in Central Canada, but we are in limbo." And in Vancouver,
economist McAlary, for one, noted that "the unemployment rate in Vancouver is 20 per cent, the highest of any city in North America. But there is not even an acknowledgement of it."
Despite continued recession in parts of Canada, NDP calculations concluded that the federal government will spend $3 billion less on regional development in 1987 than it did in 1984—the year that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's Conservative government was elected. At the same time, Broadbent said, 80 per cent of economic growth in Canada over the past year has taken place in Ontario, while the economy of almost every other part of Canada declined.
Said Broadbent: "It's a lack of economic leadership and fairness precisely at a time when Canadians were looking for it."
Wilson countered that major initiatives in regional development could still emerge later this year. He told reporters following his budget speech that across Canada there is a mistaken expectation that regional and group interests must be linked to annual federal budgets. "You have got to do this for this sector and this for that region and put it all in a budget statement." Instead, he said, the government is free to launch job-creation programs in the regions at any time.
But in last week's budget, Wilson did respond to pressure from special and regional interest groups in removing some tariffs on imports that had been imposed last year in retaliation for punitive U.S. duties on Canadian wood products. The finance minister revoked a 10-per-cent duty on books, a 30-per-cent tariff on Christmas trees and other duties on tea bags and some computer parts imported into Canada from the United States. The surcharges were levied last May when the Reagan administration imposed a 35-per-cent penalty on Canadian cedar shakes-and-shingles imports. The Canadian tariffs were attacked by affected groups, including book retailers, publishers and Christmas-tree growers in Eastern Canada who expressed concern about U.S. retaliation against their annual exports of trees to the American market. The 35-per-cent levy remains, but Wilson said in his budget speech that he would reinstate the "duty-free entry for books, computer parts and Christmas trees."
Wilson also provided relief to the Canadian steel industry by revoking a 121/2-year-old agreement that permitted reduced-tariff imports of special steel and carbon steel mill products from developing countries. Now the full tariffs applied to these will be restored.
Overall, the Canadian dollar may be the big beneficiary of Wilson's budget, said Leo de Bever, chief economist of Toronto-based Crown Life Insurance Co. The U.S. administration, he noted, had tried but failed to slash its deficit. But, said de Bever, "Michael Wilson promised to cut Canada's deficit—and he delivered." As a result, the Canadian dollar could hold firm or climb in value on foreign money markets, allowing the Bank of Canada to hold down or lower its critical trend-setting interest rates. As a result, Wilson's boring budget may yet earn some praise.

I watched precisely 10 minutes of this utter tripe, giving it one star was being generous, not funny ,storyline non existent ,I ordered it because John Cusack was in it & generally I like his films ,not this time .
This film is bit of a silly film but I still did laugh quite a few times! Easy watching!
Worth a look Id say
If you want to hear "fuck" 3-4 times per minutes (ie: 300 times in the film), then rent it. And if you like scat/piss jokes, rent it too.
This movie is in the "Sci-Fi" genre. But there is no Sci-Fi other than magically going back in time after getting drunk and sniffing coke in a hot tub; that's no Sci-Fi in my book!
It's also in the "Comedy", but did I laugh? Nope...
terrible movie!

Operating head: THE IOM STATEMENT 1 .
Desired goals of the IOM
Julie A. Maher
Grand Canyon University or college: Professional Aspect
April 14, 2013
Nursing may be the largest part of the United States health care system employees. As the healthcare program changed quickly it was tough for nursing staff to keep up, and steer clear of obstacles along the way. The new Start of Medicine (IOM) created a committee of professionals by different backround's, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In 2010, this committee created a report about the near future goals of nursing. The goal was going to promote change based on all their recommendations, at different regulating levels. The report highlighted eight tips, and some tips to guide the profession within a new course. I am going to focus on three key elements of the IOM report regarding education, primary care and leadership.
Education is needed after having a nurse is licensed, to develop thinking about life-long learning in our career. Examples of this kind of are Certified Practical Nurses, (LPN) -to-Registered Nurses (RN), Associate Level Nurses (ADN) -to- Bachelors of Scientific research Nurses (BSN) and BSN-to Masters of Science Nurses (MSN) changes. There has turn into a desperate requirement of more Advance Practice Rn Specialist (APRNs). Our health care system is changing; science is advancing leading to more skills needed to offer safe and effective attention. Patients will be more complex, sicker and need more attempts; time and mostly more well-informed nursing workers. When the education system enhances, nurses can certainly progress scholastically. The Government can help with creating more options to make continuing education more possible financially. Institution...

Normally, the `exit' command exits with a value of zero.
You can supply an optional numeric value to the `exit' command to make it exit with a value:
if (whatever) exit 12;
If you have an END block, control first transfers there. Within the END block, an `exit' command exits immediately; if you had previously supplied a value, that value is used. But, if you give a new value to `exit' within the END block, the new value is used. This is documented in the GNU Awk User's Guide (gawk.texi).
If you have an END block you want to be able to skip sometimes, you may have to do something like this:
BEGIN \ { exitcode=0; ... } # normal rules processing... { ... if (fatal) { exitcode=12; exit(exitcode); } ... } END { if (exitcode!=0) exit(exitcode); ... }

78 Beautiful Photography Of Stair Railing Wood
78 Beautiful Photography Of Stair Railing Wood – A staircase is an important part of a home. It helps the inhabitants of the house to access other components of the home, particularly those located within the higher areas. Staircase acts as a path connecting one floor to another, normally to a mezzanine or a bed room. Aside from this operate, staircases also assist in offering a swish design factor to all the home. There are many forms of staircases. Staircases are expensive and quite difficult to build. Therefore, one should be positive whereas choosing the kind of Stair Railing Wood
to use.
If one is in the means of planning for his or her house, then this article may help in deciding on the kind of staircase that's appropriate for the home. One can not use a magazine or brochure to pick out the specified design. It isn't as simple as that as a result of loads of issues need to be considered while selecting staircase designs. The listing given beneath may help in developing with a solid choice.
1. Finances
Price range is likely one of the many points that must be seemed into whereas selecting a staircase design for a house. Completely different sorts of staircases are available in several price ranges. The finances may also assist one in choosing the model and materials for the steps. Setting a finances for this undertaking will assist in narrowing down one's selections extra efficiently and shortly. For acquiring data concerning the amount wanted for the same, window buying at different hardware shops or house design stores in one's space and consulting for the fee might show to be a good suggestion.
2. Space
The space of the house is one other aspect which needs to be considered. One needs to see whether the house has sufficient area to accommodate a grand design, or have a restricted area. If a home is small, it's best to pick out a design that does not take a large area of the house. Alternatively, if the place is larger, one could go for extra engaging and larger Stair Railing Wood.
three. Safety
Security is one other factor to be taken into consideration. Staircases consisting of landings are typically the most secure one. These sort of staircases are although used in public locations like hospitals, schools and resorts, they can be used in a house too. The utilization of these stairs in a residence will rely on the quantity of space it incorporates and its inside design. If sufficient house is just not out there, then staircases with landings are often not wanted.
four. Needs and life-style
The people residing in a home use staircases current in the home day-after-day. Because of this the prioritization of scenario needs is required as well. For example, does the household residing in the house embrace a baby? Or does the family has a senior member living with them or are there little children living with the household. These components should be taken under consideration if one needs to supply consolation to himself or herself alongside together with his or her family. One would not want to choose a staircase design that provides no consolation. One wants to debate with one's members of the family first so that proper decisions could be made in regards to the design that satisfies all the necessities.
5. Supplies
For making a staircase, varied sorts of supplies are used. One can go for metal, wood, or stone. Within the case of standard houses, one can both select stone or wooden for the staircase and for the trendy properties, one can go for glass or metallic. One wants to make sure that the material chosen fits the inside design of the house. The durability of the chosen materials must even be thought of. Poor quality supplies must not be used for making Stair Railing Wood.
Stair Railing Wood
– Five Top Tendencies
Dwelling interiors, like clothes, footwear and even vehicles, are inclined to evolve with the times as specific types fall out and in of favour based on the style of the day. The same could be stated, up to a point, of staircase design. Obviously, you can't change your stairs as simply as your decor, so it's essential to pick the right style first time.
So what's hot and what's not in stair design in the mean time? Listed below are 5 traits to look out for:
1. Glass
More than every other, this feature has seen an enormous surge in recognition recently. Glazed stair balustrades are becoming more and more sought-after as folks look to maximise the feeling of light and space that they will carry to their surroundings. Although glass stair panels used to be primarily the preserve of contemporary homes, nowadays they are typically utilized in traditional interiors to present a recent twist and boost the stream of natural gentle around the property.
Of course, you don't have to cease on the balustrade. In case you really want to make your neighbours jealous, you'll be able to have the treads and risers constructed from glass for a stunning 21st century effect.
2. Clear strains
The general consensus in the field of inside design for the time being seems to be that much less is more. In my line of labor I've observed a latest shift away from ornamental stair balustrades to easier, cleaner shapes. Whereas ornate turned spindles, newels and caps are nonetheless promoting well, there has been higher curiosity in sleek, minimalistic designs resembling square and stop-chamfered styles.
3. Curves
As manufacturing strategies have improved over the years, the demand for curved stairs has been steadily rising. These staircases want fairly a bit of house but can present a beautiful point of interest. With their traditional flowing traces, they're suitable for contemporary and conventional properties alike. Spiral stairs, too, are proving standard – especially with owners of smaller properties, and people searching for a secondary staircase. They can still look gorgeous, but do not take up as a lot ground space.
four. Mix of materials
Another rising pattern is mixing various kinds of materials together for an individual look, often called fusion (additionally well-liked with foodies!). When choosing a handrail you might be probably best off sticking with timber, as that is the most comfy materials to grip. Nonetheless, in relation to the balustrade infill there is rather more choice. In addition to glass panels, you can experiment with spindles created from metal, wooden or a mix of the 2 – and mix and match with glass if you would like.
Metallic spindles have change into notably common currently, because of the big variety of designs now obtainable. Most are constructed from mild steel formed to resemble wrought iron, which helps to maintain each manufacturing costs and spindle weight to a minimal. You don't have to stick to just one type of metal spindle, either. Alternating two totally different designs could be a good way to offer your stairs an individual touch.
5. Storage
As the square footage in new houses has typically shrunk over current years, storage space has turn into an necessary challenge. It's no shock, then, that more house owners are asking for integral storage to assist maintain muddle out of sight. This can be achieved by fitting shelves or cabinets beneath the staircase, and even by incorporating drawers into the actual steps.

Campbell, Alexander
- Hiram J. Lester
Campbell, Alexander (12 September 1788–04 March 1866), religious reformer and principal founder of the Disciples of Christ, was born in County Antrim, Ireland, the son of Thomas Campbell, a clergyman in the Antiburgher sect of the Seceder Presbyterian church, and Jane Corneigle.
