text: The Deadpool wiki last edited by LaShrew on 06/16/13 10:58PM View full history Current EventsDeadpool is currently performing a task for a demon named Vetis in order for Vetis to reclaim his power and for Deadpool to find a body for Agent Preston. He has also been recruited into Red Hulk's new incarnation of the Thunderbolts.OriginDeadpoolWade Wilson was born a normal person to a highly dysfunctional family in a small town in the state of Ohio. He ran away as a teenager and bounced around the country like a gypsy, all the while getting military training from various sources until he decided to become a mercenary. He kept changing his identity whenever something went wrong with the mission. He moved to Canada where he met a man by the name of Wade T. Wilson. Since he was Wade W. Wilson, the name reminded him of his old self. When he was ordered to assassinate Wade T., he accidentally killed the target's wife, Mercedes. In the end, Wade T. ran away to eventually become the voodoo mercenary T-Ray while Wade W. kept the name "Wade T. Wilson" and never changed it out of respect for his namesake's wife. When he was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, he volunteered for a subset of the Weapon-X program that was attempting to imbue a normal human with Wolverine's healing factor.Since he is Wade T. Wilson, he has Canadian citizenship, allowing him entry into the Weapon X program. The procedure was a success, but Deadpool, who took his name from the pool that the officers and scientists bet in as to who would die next in the experimentation, became severely mentally unbalanced as a result of it. He escaped the facility and has been wandering ever since. Some people might speculate that before his name was Wade Winston Wilson his name was Jack though this isn't confirmed.CreationDeadpool's First AppearanceCreated by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool made his first appearance in The New Mutants #98 (1991). Rob Liefeld has publicly stated that he had always loved the simplicity of Spider-Man's design, and therefore designed a character with a full-head mask. Deadpool was originally a parody of DC Comics' character Deathstroke, including similar costumes and real name similarities (Deathstroke's real name is Slade Wilson) between the two. Wade's alias Deadpool name was taken from the fifth Dirty Harry film The Dead Pool.Character EvolutionDeadpool's debut marked a very different version of the character. He was a serious, grim and professional assassin, with none of his personality trademarks intact. It would be in his solo book that his trademark character traits would finally emerge. These include the dark randomness to his actions, his humorous bend, schizophrenic tendencies, and his 4th wall breaking quips that would make him famous, along with his love for Mexican food. Recently Deadpool has been trying to be a hero.Deadpool has been known for carrying a number of weapons and sometimes it is as if they appear from nowhere, this is often referred to as a 'magic satchel'. Blind Al is also a significant catalyst in Deadpool's personal development, as there is a clear love hate relationship which can vary from Blind Al being a mother-like figure to an abused hostage; sometimes within the same storyline.His personality has changed somewhat now he has become mortal; yet he still takes risks, welcoming the idea of dying so he may once again be united with his love, Death. The same humor and incapability to take many battles seriously still remains, though his face no longer carries the scars from cancer or Weapon X.Major Story ArcsBefore Weapon XWade Wilson?Wade Wilson is a man shrouded in mystery. For instance: Wade Wilson may not be his real name and his back story may have been stolen (in-continuity) from another character. He remembers a mother who died of cancer when he was five, another mother who beat him during his teen years, and also of a father who abandoned him and hasn't been seen since childhood and still another father who died in a bar room altercation when he was 17. The final father is the only one who is definitely real, all the other snatches and fragments of memories may be the result of his broken psyche.He remembers an upbringing in Ohio, but even he recognizes that this may not be true. This mysterious young man joined and quickly excelled in military service, or at least the combat side of service. The strict hierarchy and rules didn't jibe with the young man's sense of self and his absolute need to rebel against authority figures, clearly military life was not for him and he was dishonorably discharged. The military did teach him two things: he was good at killing and he enjoyed it, so he quickly found work as a mercenary, though at first he only took on targets who he felt deserved to die.Eventually he wound up in Japan as a Yakuza enforcer where he fell in love with one of the boss' daughters. The young man's mind was already in a state of radical instability, though, and he knew the relationship could never be, so he returned to America and ditched his previous moral code in addition to changing his entire identity, even his appearance, after each failed mission, fracturing his mind even more severely.When an ordinary couple stumbled upon the wounded mercenary in the woods, they took him into their home, the woman even nurses him back to health, but again his unstable mind strikes and he becomes enamored with the young woman and envious of her life with her husband. So he burns their house down and kills her husband before accidentally killing her too. He takes the name Wade Wilson and believes himself to be the dead woman's husband, but still returns to the mercenary trade.It was later found out in the Cable/Deadpool series, that this story was a lie, and Deadpool is the real Wade WilsonIt's at this stage in his life that he meets the shape-shifting prostitute Vanessa Carlysle. The young couple quickly fall in love, both of them tainted by pasts they'd rather forget. Wilson's possibly idyllic life is shattered, however, when contracts cancer and leaves Vanessa because he doesn't want to burden her with his failing health.The Weapon X ProgramAjaxWilson joins Canada's Department H, seeking a cure for his cancer, which they promised but never delivered on. Wilson built up his reputation working with the mechanized man Garrison Kane, fellow mercenary Sluggo and the suspicious Greg Teraerton. When Teraerton began to exhibit psychotic tendencies, Wilson killed him and was kicked out of Department H. He was sent to a facility called the Hospice and within that facility came under the dubious care of Dr. Ermys Killbrew's "workshop", a place for failed experiments. After being experimented upon multiple times, Wade is repeatedly visited by a hooded woman who comforts him and, after multiple visits, he falls in love with her. However the woman, it turns out, is the physical embodiment of Death, who Wade sees and can communicate with because he's so close to dying.Wanting to join Death he began taunting and defying his guards, hoping they would have him killed, but all the lead guard Ajax did was gladly sent him in for more of Killibrew's excruciating tests. The guards began to bet on when patients would die next, throwing their money into a "dead pool" the winner of which would win the pot. To Ajax and Wade's dismay, he continued to survive and Ajax wasn't authorized to kill a patient unless that patient had killed another. When Wade finally attacks Ajax, the guard responds with incredible brutality, but accidentally triggers Wilson's healing factor, allowing the mercenary to escape with a few of his fellow inmates. He mockingly dubbed himself "Deadpool" and went back to his mercenary lifestyle.In Tolliver's EmployIt soon becomes clear that Wade's healing factor is flawed, as it allows him to heal faster than his cancer can kill him, hideously disfiguring him. Since his cells are in constant flux, his brain is unstable, contributing to his madness. As a costumed mercenary, Deadpool frequents the horrific Hell House, where he receives assignments. Eventually Tolliver, the man who runs the hangout, sends Deadpool to kill Cable. The mercenary fails when is attack is thwarted by Domino (who is actually his old girlfriend Copycat [Vanessa Carlyle] posing as Domino with a counter mission to blow up Cable's whole X-Force team; a mission sanctioned by Tolliver himself). Cable and X-Force, including the fake Domino, mail Deadpool back to Tolliver.Deadpool becomes Tolliver's lap dog. Deadpool runs various operations on behalf of his employer, like overseeing the shipping of dangerous goods. Garrison Kane, on behalf of the Canadian government, breaks up this operation but lets Deadpool teleport away when he gets distracted by the appearance of G.W. Bridge. He next is sent to the World Trade Center to abduct Black Tom Cassidy who had just been thoroughly shot by Cable. Deadpool also gets Black Tom's partner the Juggernaut to accompany them to Tolliver's. There, Black Tom is operated on and infused with plant life. Black Tom would later leave Tolliver's house.Deadpool's next mission from Tolliver is more personal - he's to track down Vanessa, impersonating Domino within the ranks of X-Force, and find out why she hasn't completed her mission. He infiltrates the X-Force base in the Adirondack Mountains and engages her in a royal tussle. He defeats her and convinces her to finish her job for Tolliver and then to rejoin the team. Vanessa is found by Cable and she continues to lie by stating that she is Domino but was hired by Tolliver to kill him. Cable then takes the fight to Tolliver. Deadpool protects his boss by stabbing Vanessa and then going one-on-one with Cable. Deadpool loses and passes out. Once Cable leaves to kill Tolliver (after finding and freeing the real Domino) in a helicopter explosion, Deadpool awakens to find that Vanessa has slinked off. He begins to hunt for her.Tolliver's WillDeadpool heads to Sarajevo to rendezvous with his pal Weasel. Outside his safehouse awaits a bunch of mercenaries. Deadpool gets the drop on them and takes them out easily. Inside, Weasel informs Deadpool that he is a wanted man. Since Tolliver's death, a rumor has circulated about a will that leaves all of Tolliver's assets to the last man standing from his former empire. Being such a prominent member of Tolliver's operations, Deadpool is a marked man. Deadpool is less interested in the will and mainly wants to find Copycat. Before he gets any answers, however, Garrison Kane shows up and starts a fight. He is also looking for Copycat and won't back down until he finds her. It's a few minutes into a very intense fight before Weasel pipes in and reminds the both of them that neither of them actually knows where Copycat is at that time. As a piece of goodwill, Kane informs Deadpool that an old friend is back and looking to kill Deadpool: Slayback.With a growing interest in Tolliver's will, Deadpool looks up a man named Mr. Gezdbadah, an informant with a very special briefcase. He finds Gezdbadah fleeing from some mercenaries that Deadpool takes out easily. Gezdbadah is more than happy to pass along the briefcase, which contains a disc with information about the Tolliver will. The case is immediately taken by the Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy before Deadpool can inspect the disc. Deadpool and Weasel track the two men to a commercial plane and Deadpool boards it and confronts the men. Black Tom blasts Deadpool. Deadpool responds by blowing up the plane's hatch, sucking Black Tom out of the plane. Deadpool catches him with a rope and blackmails Juggernaut in giving up the briefcase. Juggernaut does so easily and Deadpool lets Black Tom go. The Juggernaut jumps out of the plane after him. Deadpool then announces that the plane has been officially hijacked.His life was forever changed when he teamed with erstwhile X-member Siryn to hunt down Black Tom Cassidy. In Siryn, he found a woman strong enough to endure the constant pitfalls of his dangerous life, but with a heart kind enough to see past his madness. Though Siryn didn't feel romantically drawn to 'Pool, he treasured their friendship enormously.Return HomeAn already troubled Deadpool is stunned when he begins continuously hallucinating the long-dead Mercedes Wilson appearing before him. Even more shocking would be Mercedes' return from the dead. Wade views this as a chance for redemption. The mystical mercenary T-Ray confronts Deadpool, claiming that he can't find it with her since Deadpool isn't her husband, T-Ray is. Deadpool launches into a pitched battle against the sorcerer, who manages to get the better of 'Pool by forcing him to confront all the people he's killed. Mercedes declares that she'll never forgive Deadpool, but that she refuses to return to her husband as he used her to hurt 'Pool.Blind All and WeaselAgent XCable & DeadpoolCable & DeadpoolDeadpool and Cable's paths cross once again when the cult known as the "One World Church" hires Deadpool to protect them. Cable and Deadpool fight but due to a teleportation error, the two are linked and one cannot teleport without teleporting the other thus it's like the expression "You scratch my back and I scratch yours". Although they start out as enemies and find it amazingly difficult to be in each others presence, the two manage to become somewhat of uneasy allies after some time. Deadpool is there when Cable constructs his own island nation. Deadpool, after some time, accepts Cable's offer to join him on his island and the two become real friends, although neither of them would ever admit it. Deadpool even tells Cable about his origin, how he was the son of a military dad, and how Wade got in with the wrong kind of friends.One of them, eventually killed his dad when he tried to take Wade out of a bar. Deadpool gets inspired by Cable's way of life and tries to become a better person, stopping his former violent ways. This works out to some extend, but Cable and Deadpool clashed numerous times after that. One of their largest fights was when Wade sided with the pro-registration act group of superheroes during the Superhuman Civil War. Cable eventually took reign over the small European country known as Rumekistan. Deadpool was hired by the government of that country to stop this from happening and even shot Cable in the back.Cable however manged to stop the bullet and defeated Deadpool and his teammates of other mercenaries. He then joined with Cable once again, this time vowing to stop his unnecessary violent ways. During one mission, Deadpool took an agent of Hydra named Bob hostage. The two made it out alive and soon Bob became somewhat of a sidekick and friend to Deadpool whenever he appears in the comics. Not soon after this, Cable vanished during an attack by the newly reformed Marauders right before the events of the Messiah Complex. Cable's city was destroyed and Deadpool feared the worst for his good friend.Cable however later resurfaced when he tried to safe-keep the first baby mutant that was born since M-Day. Deadpool found out about Cable's mission and aided him in keeping the baby safe. They where attacked by various advisories such as the Marauders, the Purifiers and even some creatures named Predator X. After this, Cable made Deadpool promise to stop following him, and he told him that they would see each-other again. This however turned out not to be true. Cable was killed during the events of Second Coming. Deadpool was devastated. His former greatest enemy and now best friend was no more. He went back to Rumekistan (at least the thought it was Rumekistan) and tried to honor Cable by making the country a better nation.Secret InvasionDeadpool takes on the SkrullsWhile the skrulls were invading a baseball stadium, Deadpool (disguised as a mascot) came and destroyed a Skrull gunship to get their attention. Then Deadpool then asks to join them which ends with him getting kidnapped and used for experiments.The skrulls then use his DNA to make super skrulls with Deadpool's healing factor. Deadpool then asks to train the super skrulls and they agree. Deadpool then trained them to be just like him, insane. The Skrulls then see the error of using Deadpool's DNA because since none of the super skrulls had cancer, they just kept multiplying cells which caused them to explode. When the lead Skrull scientist discovered this he was shocked and then killed by Deadpool.Deadpool then reveals his real mission, which is to find the Skrull Queen's weakness but the data Deadpool found was taken by Norman Osborn.Dark ReignDeadpool vs BullseyeSince Deadpool failed his mission he didn't get paid which means he's now broke. While Deadpool is traveling on a cargo ship until it gets attacked by Tiger Shark. Deadpool gets washed up on shore and taken care of at a hospital where Tiger Shark returns to kill Wade. Deadpool is then saved (kinda) by Bob who ends up getting attacked by Tiger Shark himself.Deadpool then defeats Tiger shark and learns that Norman Osborn hired Tiger shark to kill him. So Deadpool, with the help of Taskmaster, breaks into Stark Tower to get his revenge on Osborn, only to wind up fighting the Thunderbolts. Deadpool eventually defeats them and Osborn sends Bullseye (dressed as Hawkeye) to kill him. They both hunt each other down until Deadpool defeats Bullseye twice. Bullseye then pays Deadpool to leave Osborn alone which Wade agrees.Deadpool and the X-MenX-Man?Since Deadpool is now super rich he has no need for being a mercenary. He briefly tries to be pirate, bringing his sidekick Bob along, who he dresses as a parrot.He eventually gives up on that. After a lot of sailing, he decides to help the X-Men on Utopia. Cyclops disagrees instantly, but Deadpool is later put on the team...kinda. He is put under the watchful eye of Domino. So Deadpool decides to help the X-Men by settling a dispute between Mercury and her father (paid by Norman Osborn to make the X-Men look bad). Deadpool hunts the man down and threatens to kill him only for the man to also be hunted down by H.A.M.M.E.R. So Deadpool pretends to be the bad guy and be purposely defeated by the X-Men making them look like heroes again. Deadpool then leaves while Cyclops admits that Wade "has some skill".The Heroic AgeFighting Steve RogersDeadpool decides to continue his efforts to try to be a hero and goes to Las Vegas where he meets up with his old friend Weasel, who's a computer nerd, and steals his job as The House, a robotic hero Weasel had created. He would expose the casino he works for as crooks and leave much much richer.Later, he finds himself in a standoff between armed hit-men (all with healing factors) and an Arab arms dealer. Deadpool quickly kills them all with he help of what appear to be the Secret Avengers who ask him to be on the team. What Deadpool doesn't know is these are actually clones of the team created by Dr. Bong. The real Steve Rogers and his Secret Avengers show up, and Deadpool teams up with them to take Dr. Bong's operation down with a last display of fireworks.DeadAfter teleporting away, Deadpool ends up in a landfill angry for Evil Deadpool dying and not him. Deadpool then stages events to get his wish of getting the serum that killed evil deadpool, and finally put an end to his life. So he first goes to his team X-Force and tells him about the serum and told them it's a threat to mutant kind convincing them to help. Deadpool then has the team go after the Kingpin. Also Deadpool gets his "friend" Bob to go convince the Kingpin to go after the Serum as well. Then the final person he gets to look for the serum is Wolverine's son Daken who wants it for his own personal gain. While all this is going on, it turns out Tombstone is behind the serum and the attempted assassination on Deadpool. X-Force was able to track down the sniper who had a serum but was found already interrogated and tortured by Daken. It then ended with the Kingpin's bodyguard Typhoid Mary and The Hand ninjas found X-Force by accident.The team fights Typhoid Mary and The Hand while Deadpool is outside observing the battle with Bob. Deadpool then sees Spider-man swinging to help but Deadpool doesn't want X-Force's identity to go public, so Deadpool stages a gang war so any hero in New york would pay attention to that having X-Force escape.Deadpool eventually gets injected with the serum by Bob, which also has the side-effect of reversing Deadpool's scarring. Bob did so to teach Deadpool a lesson only to realize that Deadpool wanted to die the whole time and wanted X-Force to kill him after he gets the serum. Bob then gets angry at Wade and tells him that if he gets killed by X-Force, Tombstone will kill Bob for not allowing Tombstone to kill Deadpool himself. So Deadpool decides to save Bob from Tombstone before he kicks the bucket.In this process, Deadpool finally gets what he wanted and is injected with the serum that can finally make him kill-able. But to his surprise, not only did his healing factor disappear, but his scarred skin also vanished. He is now back to his formal, more handsome, self. Now more confident because of this transformation, he thought he would attack the base of the smartest super villain team on earth, the Intelligencia. But when he's outsmarted and defeated by the Trapster(who shoots glue at people) Deadpool thinks he lost his old mercenary mojo. So in order to get his revenge and his fundamentals back in check, he goes to the aid of Taskmaster.Uncanny X-ForceUncanny X-ForceDeadpool was hired by Archangel to be on X-Force in the search for Apocalypse. Deadpool was scouting a base to find out the plans for Apocalypse's resurrection only to be captured and held captive. Later he was rescued by the rest of the team and informs them of the plan. They then head to the moon base where the Resurrected kid apocalypse is located. Unfortunately a new horsemen of Apocalypse took down Fantomex's E.V.A. where the team was injured and Deadpool was left with Archangel where he helped keep Archangel well by feeding him Deadpool's own flesh. Later when they finally reached the boy, the team comes to an agreement that the boy can be saved only for Fantomex to shoot Kid Apocalypse in the head. After this event, Deadpool does a recon mission only to realize that the Reavers and Lady Deathstrike are planning a attack on Utopia.The team then goes against the Reavers until Wolverine got stuck fighting Lady Deathstrike, and Deadpool and Fantomex were blown away by the Reavers leaving Warren and Psylocke to fight the Reavers. After that Deadpool had a meeting with everyone except Fantomex to talk about the apocalypse event. Deadpool then leaves the conversation saying "I don't kill kids". After that they learn that Deadpool never cashed any of Warren's checks having them realize that Deadpool is not on the team for money. Soon after the team is attacked by Deathlock versions of the Avengers and a Deathlock approaches the team with an offer to stop their creation. He joins the team on their mission to the alternate Earth where all of Earth's heroes have been made into Deathlocks. The team is attacked by Deathlock versions of themselves who are more deadly than the originals. Fantomex uses his misdirection to allow them to escape. Deadpool is the one who kills the source of this reality's problems, world father by decapitating him.Deadpool also accompanies the team into the Age of Apocalypse. While X-Force seeks out Dark Beast, Deadpool frequently comments on how he cant be trusted. When they are abandoned in the AoA universe he is mistaken for Dead Man Wade, his counterpart in that reality. X-Force fights their way through the Black Legion in order to free a mutant who can make portals in order to get home.Marvel NOW!A madman, believing the United States is tearing itself apart, has resurrected the dead presidents of the country in hopes of them restoring the country to its former glory. The plan goes awry when the zombified forefathers become evil and start attacking people. Deadpool is seen cutting his way out of a large reptilian-like creature, disemboweling it in the process, which sets him and Thor free. When Thor flies away, Deadpool is told that the evil Franklin Delano Roosevelt is attacking the city. Deadpool heads to the location and begins a battle with the necrotic, evil president. The battle makes its way to a subway, where Deadpool manages to beat FDR via electrocution. SHIELD tasks Deadpool with stopping the assaulting presidents which he accepts, charging off to their meeting place to stop them. When he arrives, he is shot in the head by Lincoln, dropping him.Deadpool vs undead PresidentsThe ghost of Ben Franklin resuscitates Deadpool and he eventually goes after the zombified Theodore Roosevelt, who is killing animals at the zoo. Deadpool defeats him with the help of an elephant, after finding out that the dead presidents have a weakness to electricity by having said elephant ram Roosevelt into a generator. Deadpool visits Doctor Strange to get his help in the matter of the dead presidents, and they learn where Gerald Ford, George Washington and Abe Lincoln are. Strange and Wade teleport there and attack the presidents. Deadpool is incapacitated by getting stuck in a car and punted away, and Washington stabs him with a sword. Strange takes the old saber from Deadpool and enchants it to defeat the presidents. Deadpool dubs the sword the Veto before stabbing Nixon, defeating him while the others escape.Deadpool does battle with all the other presidents, slaying the significant zombie powerhouses like Lincoln, and Regan. Deadpool ends up in a heated battle with George Washington after Washington killed Agent Preston, whom Wade dubbed as his friend. After slaying the final president, things settled down with the necromancer reviving Preston, but putting her inside Wade's mind.Deadpool kills MichaelDeadpool is recruited by a demon named Vetis after Deadpool tricked him in a previous deal. He is on a mission from Vetis to kill six individuals in order for Vetis to reclaim his power, but also on the side is trying to find a body for Preston to get her out of his head. After killing some of the individuals on the list, Deadpool learns Vetis is trying to overthrow Mephisto. In order to summon Mephisto Deadpool kills his friend, Michael the necromancer, who just happened to be on the list, in order to get him to hell to tell Mephisto about Vetis' plan. Deadpool targets a pre-cog user and teams up with the superior Spider-Man to face the Trapster, Batroc, Chance, Taskmaster, and Lady Stilt-Man. The duo end up defeating the group and Deadpool kills Gump the pre-cog, but Deadpool is subdued by Spider-Man for killing him, only for Deadpool to break out when Spider-Man leaves.With Michael in hell now, Deadpool manages to explain the situation to Preston's family and her partner at S.H.I.E.L.D.. Deadpool hunts down the next holder of power by the name of Bobby the Blender, who happens to be a shapeshifter. He takes the form of Luke Cage and tries to have sex with Jessica, but Deadpool intervenes when he is discovered by Jessica and attacks him. Bobby turns into Black Widow and jumps out the window with Deadpool in hot pursuit. Along the way, Deadpool gets beaten up by cops and Bobby turns into a cheerleader when Deadpool beats up the cops and yells for everyone in Times Square to get down to find him. Deadpool encounters more resistance, but most notably from Daredevil. The two have a brief fight with Wade getting tied up and escaping by breaking his fingers to get his gun and shoot a nearby pedestrian. Daredevil then takes time to attend to this person while Wade finds Bobby and kills him. Vetis arrives and Deadpool tells him his plan which angers Vetis as he prepares to attack Wade.Powers and AbilitiesDeadpool is an expert in both close and ranged combat weaponry.He has a limited immunity to telepathy due to his constantly fluctuating brain cells ( in Deadpool Team-Up #891 Mr. X can predict Deadpool's moves, disproving Deadpool being immune to telepaths).Olympic-level strength, speed, stamina, and agility.Deadpool is fluent in several languages, including English, French, Japanese, and Spanish.Deadpool has possessed several personal transportation devices.Deadpool has an ability often referred to as "bottomless satchel", which seemingly allows him to pull guns, explosives, food, (usually Hic. brand beer cans), and ammunition out of nowhere. This is usually done by reaching into one of his pockets, often times pulling out something that was bigger then the pocket itself.Deadpool has a very strong healing factor obtained from Wolverine. It healed him completely from cancer, and grants him the ability to recover from any injury within seconds, although more complex injuries can take longer to heal. He can even re-grow lost limbs and organs. In Issue 39, he was even able to regrow his head after having it pulverized by The Hulk. In addition to healing his injuries, the healing factor grants him immunity against all kinds of gases and poison. He is considered immortal due to Thanos banning Deadpool from Hell, done because of Thanos' relationship with Death.He is one of the few people with enough skill to handle Captain America's shield.His unpredictable fighting style can be advantageous against the likes of Taskmaster, as Taskmaster learns the moves of others using his advanced memory and learns strengths and weaknesses based upon past experience.He is said to know Peter Parker's identity from when he unmasked during 'Civil War,' despite Mephisto erasing the event.Breaking the Fourth WallLike She-Hulk, Deadpool is one of the few characters known for breaking the fourth wall. This trend started in the late '90s when it was made popular by Joe Kelly.Deadpool breaks the fourth wall by talking about his own comic (sometimes even having copies of it somehow), referring to artists or writers or even the reader, and discussing comics in general. He is most known for, however, talking to the yellow narration bubbles that his comic has. There have been several theories as to what the boxes really are but no one other than Deadpool can see them in continuity and therefore many people in the Marvel Universe think Deadpool is crazy. Many speculate that this is because Deadpool's voice is so unique, as according to Blind Al there's a gravel and gasoline texture to it. Deadpool also references popular media culture in the comics such as video games, celebrities, social networking, and what's going on with the real world at the time.Alternate VersionsMessiah WarA thousand years in the future, X-Force has just arrived and encounters the thousand year old Wade Wilson.The team wants to know what happened, so Deadpool sneaks in his own story while getting to current events. He said that around 2034, he was hired to stop some very determined rebels, but when the threat of hand-held nuclear devices became apparent, he hid himself in an industrial freezer and was going to work for whichever side wasn't blown up... however destroyed buildings trapped Deadpool, blocking the freezer door with debris. He then spent the next several decades in this tomb going even more insane, until he was finally released by a band of gun-toting nomads, but he was then attacked by Stryfe. It turned out that after everyone blew themselves up, Stryfe came in and made himself the ruler of the world, so Deadpool decided to work for him. While fighting with Styfe, Deadpool is torn in half and is apparently killed (but he always finds a way to come back).Earth-295: Age of ApocalypseDead Man WadeDeadpool is known as Dead Man Wade in the Age of Apocalypse, and was given his healing abilities by Apocalypse, not Weapon-X. Apocalypse then placed Dead Man Wade in his elite team known as the Pale Riders (along with Damask, Shadow King and Moonstar). Dead Man Wade was psychotically depressed and a serial killer. He wasn't only just constantly healing like 616 Deadpool, but he was constantly decaying too. This makes him wish for death for he is constantly in pain. His teammate Danielle liked to hurt him and see how he recovered, her actions made Damask killed her.When Apocalypse ordered the Pale Riders to destroy the sanctuary of Avalon he is betrayed by Damask. He was apparently killed by Nightcrawler, who teleported his head away from his body. Its revealed that Shadow King used him as host to enter Avalon and infected every being in the sanctuary in order to destroy the place.He appeared without maskHeroes Reborn/Counter-EarthThis is not an alternate reality, but an alternate earth located in Earth-616. This version of Deadpool never got cancer or went to the Weapon-X program. He joined the Avengers calling himself the Swordsman, and would later become their leader. He was calmer, level-headed, and stern. He also carried a wide array of swords with him. He eventually uncovers the fact that their universe is actually a lie. This sends him into a spiraling depression. He gains a massive amount of weight and becomes suicidal. He eventually decides to try to destroy their "pocket universe" as it is a mockery of their existence.Millennial VisionsMillennial Visions' Deadpool was hired by Sebastian Shaw to kill the X-Men. Shaw was so happy with Deadpool's success that he hired Deadpool to kill all the mutants. He eventually tried, the last on his list were: Wolverine, Sunfire, Northstar, and Banshee, who were all hiding from Deadpool in Japan. He did fight with Wolverine but could not kill him, Wolverine did lose an arm in the fight however and Deadpool used his claw as a weapon thereafter. Deadpool kept pictures and souvenirs from all of his targets. He is determined to finish off the rest of the world's mutants and get paid.Earth-1610Ultimate DeadpoolWade "Wadey" Wilson was a sergeant who after surviving death-defying action in the Wakanda Wars in the early nineties took the name Deadpool. Deadpool's true face had no skin and portions of his skull were missing, covered by a clear plastic helmet that made his face appear human-shaped when masked. He kidnapped the X-Men and Spider-Man and threw them on an island to hunt them down for a game-show. However, Deadpool was defeated and is last seen on the island holding his mask while the X-men fly away.Earth-2149: Zombieverse HeadpoolHeadpoolIn the Zombiverse, Deadpool as most other heroes was turned into a zombie and is seen with other zombie super-being attacking the Silver Surfer. Later, zombie Deadpool is the first to be sent into the 616 universe and infects some of the members of the Florida initiative as part of an invasion plan, but is decapitated and his still living head is brought back for study at A.R.M.O.R. headquarters. He tagged along Simon Garth until he sailed to the Savage Land where he meets his 616 counterpart. This Deadpool seems almost identical to earth 616's. He is sarcastic, states he had a healing factor before getting infected but it doesn't work anymore, and has 616 Deadpool's sadistic sense of humor. He also breaks the fourth wall just like Earth 616 Deadpool does. This version of Deadpool is now a member of the Deadpool Corps. headpool has also been in shorts made by a low youtuber who made a perfect deadpool costume.Golden Age DeadpoolThis version of Deadpool is Frederick Wilson, the nephew of President Woodrow Wilson. Freddy is enlisted by his uncle in World War 1. In order to get out of service, Freddy smokes too much and tries to pretend to have mustard gas poisoning, but his plan fails and he damages his lungs. Forced to wear a breathing apparatus, he lived the next decade losing his mind in isolation and poverty, and spent much of his time watching cartoons at the theater. During World War 2, he's convinced by Nazis to become a German super soldier and is given increased physical abilities and rapid healing as well as increased resilience to wounds due to his scabbed and callous skin - he's dubbed "Weapon Swastika." He's then sent to steal Captain America's would-be shield during the forging process, but decides that he's not a traitor and goes rogue. This Deadpool also breaks the 4th wall, but sees the world as a cartoon and has knowledge of future lingo and trends.Major Wade WilsonIn this universe Canada, the United States, and Mexico are all one entity known as "The United States of North America". In this universe Deadpool is a agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. and is in the military and reached the rank of "Major". It appears as if this Wade Wilson did not go through the Weapon X program or it was success for he is not scarred.Lady DeadpoolOne major difference in this universe is Deadpool is a woman named Wanda. Another difference is that it appears Captain America sided with the super human registration act (or something perverse yet similar) and was never assassinated. Lady Deadpool and 616 Deadpool team up to fight this universes Cap who winds up losing an arm which Zombie Deadpool eats.The Deadpool KidDeadpool is a common bandit known as " The Deadpool Kid". 616 Deadpool doesn't have time for this nonsense and quickly disposes of this universe's him and then leaves with Zombie Deadpool's head accidentally dropping Captain America's infected arm returning to the 616 universe.KidpoolDeadpool CorpsThis Deadpool is still a kid and he attends Xavier school for the gifted boys. He's pretty much the most hated student in the school because of his personality. Kidpool was sent to the Danger Room (detention) with Cyclops because Kidpool gave Cyclops a wedgie and also Xavier wanted to prevent Kidpool from ruining a social with a girl school. Kidpool convinced Cyclops to escape the danger room and went to the social. When Cyclops saw Jean Grey dancing with Wolverine, Cyclops hired Kidpool to cause a distraction while Cyclops grabbed Jean away. After a distraction and a fight with a couple kid mutants Earth 616 Deadpool came in and took Kidpool away and had him joined Deadpool corps. Kidpool is now known as Tito by the rest of the Corps.Deadpool Noir (Earth-90214)There is also a Marvel Noir version of this character. Wade, a Canadian, joins the OSS during WWII, becoming a patriot with a few screws loose.Deadpool PulpDeadpool PulpThis reality is set in the 1950's and Deadpool works as a agent for the government. In this reality Deadpool works with General Cable who hired him to track down the rouge agent Outlaw and stop her. At first it's seen that Deadpool and Cable were war buddies from WWII but in truth they were both brainwashed to become sleeper agents for General Stryfe and a secret organization with goal of world domination. When Stryfe ordered Deadpool to kill Senator John F. Kennedy he was able to break free of the mind control after which he saved Cable stopped both Stryfe and Outlaw and a nuclear bomb from wiping out. While the city was saved the bomb blew up underwater and while escaping Deadpool was caught in the explosion which resulted in his scarring and cancer. In recovery Cable offered to help Deadpool and offered him to join a new program, Weapon X.Earth-5021Deadpool of Earth-5021 was unhinged from time and forced to become a member of the Exiles' rival reality-hopping group known as Weapon X, which performed morally challenging tasks. He acted similar to Earth-616 Deadpool, but was less erratic and more bloodthirsty. After being apparently killed by Sabretooth, he was put in stasis at the Timebrokers' base where he was freed by Dr. Strange whom realized that Deadpool was alive. Deadpool then killed him and attempted to take over the Timebroker's headquarters with other Weapon-X members. During the conflict, Mimic absorbed his healing factor powers (and couldn't get rid of it), and then was apparently killed by She-Hulk.Earth-9997Thing suspected that Deadpool took the identity of Daredevil, who is dead in the Earth X reality, and became a stuntman in a traveling show. The man denies being Deadpool though.Earth-811After the original X-Men are hunted down and killed by Agent Zero, Wolverine makes a new team of X-men. Deadpool is one of people recruited. Deadpool at first turns him down but after getting in several fights by the side of Wolverine he realizes it might be fun and he eventually changes his mind. He remarks about how Wolverine only wants him so he can be the "token human" of the team. This Deadpool makes several pop culture references just like earth 616 does. Wolverine beings to question his decision to extend an invitation but after Deadpool single-handedly takes down several assassins he knows he made the right choice. While training however Agent Zero again tracks them down and Deadpool is apparently killed when he melts into sort of goop after Agent Zero attacks him with a corrosive weapon that has an attribute that works best against those with a healing factor.5 Ronin UniverseRonin DeadpoolIn this universe Deadpool is named Watari and is a homeless person, who many consider a fool. He spends most of his time getting drunk or wandering from place to place. Appearances aside, he was once a noble samurai that was left to die in a massacre. He alone survived and the experience left him deranged.He's also the only character to appear in almost every issue of the 5 Ronin series (with the exception of the Psylocke issue).Death MaskDeath MaskDeath Mask is Deadpool's counter part in the universe that he Spider-Man and the Hulk are sucked into in their annuals. Deadpool originally thought that Death Wish, whom had a costume identical to Deadpool except it is green instead of red and acted just like Deadpool. When Deadpool and Death Wish met they became fast friends and ran around causing trouble. However, Deadpool found out that his actual counterpart was Death Mask, a genius and a sorcerer that ruled the criminal underground, and found out that Death Wish was actually an insane Victor Von Doom.Deadpool MaxIn the Deadpool Max universe, Deadpool is a puppet for a secret government organization. They use him as an assassin to take out high profile targets. Normally, Deadpool wouldn't care to take out these targets, but his handler Officer Bob convinces him that the targets are all heads of the evil criminal organization Hydra. In this universe, nobody but Wade believes that Hydra exists, but Bob tells him they do to keep him under control. Wade was seduced by his "therapist", Dr. Inez, but he leaves her deciding that she's nuts, and not really a doctor. Cable is another agent of the organization, but has gone rogue and claims he's from the future. He tried to tell Deadpool the truth. After the director of the organization, Blind Al, is kidnapped by Domino, Bob talks Deadpool into hunting her down until they meet and he realizes that she's really Dr. Inez who changed her name, appearance, and is pregnant with his child. They go off to live together leaving behind his assassin life.Deadpool Kills the Marvel UniverseIn Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe. The Watcher watches in horror as one of the most tasteless of worlds unfolds before him. In this universe, Deadpool is victim to a freak counselling session where Psycho Man attempts to use mind-control to force DP into being his slave assassin. The Watcher claims that Psycho Man's plan succeeds in other universes and he uses an army of brain-washed heroes and villains to take over the world. But, something even worse happens in this particular universe. Psycho Man fails to overtake DP. And, although Psycho Man is murdered by DP (along with the rest of the employees and patients of the psychiatric institute), his attempt at mind control destroyed all of Deadpools inner-voices except for one. This one voice continues to insist that DP kill the entirety of the Marvel Universe. Deadpool succeeds, continuously breaking the fourth wall saying that this is what the readers wanted. Some of the notable scenes of the book are when DP kills the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, the Punisher, Taskmaster and the Watcher himself.At the end of the series, Man-Thing sacrifices himself as a portal to the comic book writer's dimension where he intends to follow through in killing not only his own Marvel Universe, but all of the Universes in existence. The last panel concludes with Wade breaking the fourth wall with a threat (or is it a promise?) to find the reader "soon enough."Deadpool KillustratedAfter Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe for a while (in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe), he realizes that it would be a lot easier to go back and kill the inspiration for his own world. That way, instead of obliterating one comic book world after another, he could defeat the idea of each alternate character at once. He goes about willy-nilly through-out inspirational fictions until Sherlock Holmes appears with a group of classic heroes to defeat him along with his new-found partner Frankenstein. At the end of Deadpool Killustrated, Deadpool is seemingly lost in time after falling off of H. G. Well's time machine. What happens next? Deadpool Kills Deadpool.Wade Wilson's WarIn this Reality Deadpool was in a squad with Domino, Bullseye, and Silver Sable. They are all believed to be a form of super soldier who went on suicide missions in end being near death. Deadpool is in court after being convicted of causing a massacre in a town. Deadpool says it was a mission to take down a drug lord gone wrong and it ended with Bullseye and Silver Sable killed and Domino losing an eye. The court then told Wade that him and his squad were failed experiments who went insane thinking they were super heroes. They then had Domino come out to testify against Deadpool which ended being a trick the whole time. Domino killed the guards and Deadpool went to kill the judge revealing that he was hired to kill him and kill the drug lords and was arrested as a way of killing two birds with one stone. Then Deadpool and Domino escaped which then revealed that all of this wasn't real, that Wade Wilson is the man the judge explained earlier and that the judge was actually a worker for the mental asylum Wade was in.Earth 615.9: VenompoolVenompool"What If Venom Possessed Deadpool?" is an issue that took place inthe 1980s, Deadpool was hired by Galactus to kill the Beyonder for merging Galactus's booty with M.O.D.O.K. So Deadpool accepted for the price of the continuity cube. Wilson tracked the Beyonder to a nightclub but liked the Beyonder's lifestyle and joined the party. While hanging with the Beyonder in a flying limo, Spider-Man came and asked for the Beyonder to remove the symbiote from his costume, but ended up getting shot by the limo driver. The Symbiote then left Parker's body and merged onto Wilson's making him Venompool.Other MediaFilmsX-Men Origins: WolverineWade WilsonWade Wilson was played by Ryan Reynolds in his pre-mutated form (in which he was played mutely by Scott Adkins). The movie was faithful to the snarkiness and sarcasm of the character, but nothing was mentioned about his cancer, nor his fourth-wall breaking. He was a member of the Weapon X group of mercenaries along with Wolverine and Sabretooth. It should be noted that in the movie, Wade Wilson does not wear the classic Deadpool outfit. Wade has guns here but is only seen using his katanas when in combat. What was the most noticeably different with this version to the comic version is that in this movie is that he is taken by Stryker and stitched up in a facility to become "Weapon XI".Weapon XIAs Weapon XI, his mouth is stitched closed, all visible hair is gone, and stitch marks are still present, as he had been taken out of his procedure early to fight Wolverine. He is never exactly called Deadpool in X-Men Origins, however Stryker once refers to him as "the Dead Pool" in the movie. In the final battle he is able to shoot energy beams out of his eyes like Cyclops, is armed with retractable adamantium katanas from his arms, has a healing factor that heals otherwise mortal wounds in seconds, can teleport like John Wraith, and is controlled technopathically through a computer by Stryker. His head is cut off by Wolverine but in a scene after the credits his charred hand is dragging itself towards the head in the rubble of the facility, whose eyes open in a conscious moan when the hand touches, hinting at the possibility of a spin-off or movie of his own.Deadpool MovieRyan Reynolds will once again reprise his role as Wade Wilson after he's done filming the comic adaption of RIPD. The script of the movie leaked in August 2010 however since then the script could of been changed due to keeping fans surprised about the story plot. Originally the movie was supposed to be rated PG-13 but will change to rated R due to gory scenes. An official date is not confirmed for the movie but some people speculate it'll be out in 2014.Video GamesX-Men Legends II: Rise of ApocalypseDeadpool is a boss fight villain (being mind-controlled by Mr. Sinister) in the game and is unlocked as playable after beating the game. If Deadpool is in your party while you encounter him as a boss he has a special conversation with himself. Deadpool uses his katanas and guns for many basic attacks, and uses nitrogen grenades for his special attack in addition to his teleportation power.Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006)Deadpool is one of the heroes that aids in the defense of the Helicarrier after it's attack by the Masters of Evil. Deadpool is unlocked at the first save point, and can be used throughout the rest of the game. His attacks are mostly borrowed from Rise of Apocalypse, including his teleporting, but his new "X-Treme" attack is called "Merc's Revenge" where he leaps into the air and pelts foes with gunfire.In his simulator disk, Deadpool must fight through Murderworld, playing bumper-cars and defeating Arcade's clown minions before fighting a Dark Spider-Man clone, but not before having a discussion about internet dating websites. His special costumes are his updated look from the Cable & Deadpool series (dubbed "Assassin"), his Weapon X uniform, and the costume worn by his ultimate universe counterpart.Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (2009)Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2Deadpool goes to Washington D.C. for the cherry blossom festival, and becomes enraged when Titanium Man and his terrorists attack the city, and attacks the players. Once he is defeated he aids the heroes in rescuing Senator Stan Lieber from the armored super villain, and takes him back to safety while the Alliance continues after Titanium Man. His attacks are still based on guns, grenades and katanas, but his fighting system has been rebuilt from the ground up. Deadpool has unique dialogue with Black Widow and Cable, and his alternate costume is an unmasked variant of his Ultimate Universe costume. Deadpool is also aware that he is in the game, frequently mentioning the need for red orbs or whining about his low health bar, all while referring to you as "Player".X-Men Origins: WolverineDeadpool is featured in the video game adaption of the Wolverine movie. He is the final boss fight (as Weapon XI) as he is in the film.Marvel vs. Capcom 3Marvel vs. Capcom 3Deadpool is a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. He retains his manic mood as well as his awareness that he's in a video game, going so far as to beat his foes with his health-bar as one of his Super Combos. When he wins a match, he will sometimes insult the player for sitting on the couch while he's out risking life and limb in battle, and if he loses he'll yell at you for "pressing the wrong buttons!" Nolan North is reprising his role as the character. If the player defeats Galactus using Deadpool, it is seen that Deadpool and an accomplice known only as "The Player" are on the run from the police after Deadpool caused an explosion while trying to add more power to the DJ and the Margarita machine. Deadpool also has a a theme song in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that reflects his personality. It is one of the only songs in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that has lyrics.Spider-Man: Shattered DimensionsShattered DimensionsUltimate Deadpool appears as a boss in the game, but with a reimagined personality similar to his standard counterpart. He tries to kill Spider-Man on live TV with his army of ravenous fanboys in exchange for the tablet if Spider-Man wins. The tablet's power grant the ability to make three copies of himself. He will sing the Pokemon theme song if the player spends too long collecting Spider Tokens, also will make smart remarks if the player pauses too long. Nolan North reprises his role of the character.Little Big Planet 2 Deadpool In Little Big Planet 2In Little Big Planet 2, there was a second Marvel pack of costumes for Sackboy to wear. The second wave of Marvel costumes included many different characters, one of which being Deadpool. Deadpool's appearance on Little Big Planet 2 includes his mask, and the rest of his outfit, including two katanas strapped to his back. The outfit is priced at 1.99 and was released on January, 2013. Marvel: Avengers AllianceMarvel: Avengers AllianceDeadpool is a playable character in the Facebook Marvel: Avengers Alliance game. His character can be bought for 135 Command Points, which is about 45 more then the average character price. Currently he has only one costume available being the "Classic Deadpool" and his attacks include: Sharp Pointy Things, Bang Bang Bang!, No Holds Barred, and Happy to See You.Deadpool (Video Game)Deadpool will be the star of his own videogame in 2013 published by Activision and will be developed by High Moons Studio, Nolan North reprises his role as the character once again.TelevisionX-Men: Animated SeriesIn the 90's X-Men animated show produced by Fox, Deadpool never appears himself. However, there are three references to him. The first time is when Professor Xavier is exploring Sabretooth's mind, and Deadpool's face appears in Sabretooth's memories, along with some other people from the Weapon X program, including Wolverine, Maverick, and Omega Red.When Professor Xavier is possessed by Onslaught, he finds Wolverine on a subway. Wolverine is surprised to see the professor walking, until it's revealed to be Morph who transforms into several people from Wolverine's past, one of whom is Deadpool. The next time Deadpool is referenced is very similar.Deadpool doesn't have his own animated series yet, but it's possible in the future.Wolverine and the X-MenDeadpool was scheduled to be in the second season of Nickelodeon's Wolverine and the X-men cartoon. But unfortunately, the show got cancelled after its second season.Hulk vs. WolverineAnimated DeadpoolDeadpool is one of Thornton's henchmen alongside other Marvel villains. One of their missions is to capture both Hulk and Wolverine to use them as deadly weapons in Weapon X. He often annoys Omega Red with his jokes. At the end (after the credits) Deadpool is seen emerging from the debris via Hulk destroying the lab. Deadpool then pats himself and exclaims : "Guys? Red.. that's right... I can't believe it! I'm alive! I'M ALIIIVE-" in which he is then stomped on by Hulk. The screen goes back to Deadpool as he whimpers a weak. "Ow..." He is voiced by Nolan North.X-Men: AnimeDeadpool makes a small cameo in the last episode saving the world from the powers of Xavier's son, Takeo.Deadpool in Action!

ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2013: Call for Proposals now open
What role does technology play in promoting creativity and innovation? How is the world of learning changing, and how can technology help us change the world? Proposals are now being accepted for this year's Online Educa Berlin 2013, which will focus on these questions.
Proposals are being accepted from now until June 3 for Online Educa Berlin 2013, to be held December 4-6 in Berlin. This year's event will encompass:
eLearning Africa 2013 Report - African Voices on the Digital Revolution
The "The eLearning Africa Report 2013" shows that laptops and mobile phones are now far and away the most popular new learning devices in Africa, while tablets are still lagging, only being used regularly by 20% of eLearning practitioners.
Launched on May 30th in Windhoek (Namibia) at the 8th eLearning Africa conference, the report offers new insight into the complex uses of technology in African education. "I was particularly encouraged by the failures in eLearning that were so openly shared," stated the Namibian Minister for ICT, Joel Kaapanda, during the presentation, "and the attention given this year to local digital content and the integration of indigenous African languages."
Providing a unique snapshot of ICT developments across the continent, the "The eLearning Africa Report 2013" goes beyond statistics and gives a voice to hundreds of Africans involved in eLearning practice at grassroots level. Its aim is to reflect "the stories, views and experiences of African practitioners and their contribution to the broader African eLearning narrative."
These experiences offer valuable insights. Whilst, for example, 40% of respondents said they create local content, only 16% create it in indigenous African languages. And while social media and mobility are becoming more popular, accessing online resources and supporting classroom learning are the most common uses of technology.
"The report confirms that mobility in learning and teaching is indeed on the rise in education and skills development in Africa but it has not yet eclipsed traditional ways of education delivery," says Shafika Isaacs, editor of the study. "Addressing the challenges in education continues to be a critical priority as we deliberate the post-2015 development agenda."
A free copy of the report, available in French and English, can be requested online.
Meeting the Challenge of Video
If video is the new language of learning and YouTube the new classroom, then Windhoek will be the place for African educators to find out how to make the most of this exciting medium. Here is a sneak preview of what will be on offer.
eLearning Africa 2013 in Windhoek will see the launch of a new video strand. We will be hosting a series of sessions aimed at unlocking the secrets of professional film and video for all those involved in learning at any level.
The main driver for the recent boom in video has come from our learners. Watch a young person searching the internet and they are drawn to moving images. Give them a video-enabled mobile phone and they make their own movies. Offer them a text- or a video-based lesson, and see which one they choose.
As educators we need to harness the power of video and learn some of the tricks of the trade from professionals in TV, film and education. The video sessions at eLearning Africa 2013 are aimed squarely at providing this.
On Wednesday May 29th there will be a full day pre-conference workshop on creating educational video. This will be a hands-on practical exercise, taking participants through the various stages of producing a learning video. The session will be led by Eric Hamilton from the USA, Toochukwu Okafor from Nigeria, Simon Katabazi from Uganda, and Joseph Carilus Ogwel from Kenya. All those attending will get the chance to produce their own learning video during the day. The workshop will also cover the use of mobile phones to produce and share video content.
Due to anticipated demand booking is essential for the workshop and can be done here.
On Friday 31st May, we will be holding the eLearning Africa Video Masterclass. Through a mixture of film clips and discussion, international TV executive Adam Salkeld will reveal some of the techniques that great film-makers use to add impact to their work. The Masterclass will take a critical look at camerawork, editing, storytelling, the use of sound, and how directors combine them to create compelling work on screen. If you feel that you would like to add some style and polish to your educational videos then come along and join the Masterclass: it is open to all.
eLearning Africa 2013 is also pleased to announce that we will be holding Video Clinics at the conference. Adam Salkeld will be available to answer your questions about video and view your work, offering tips on how you can give it more impact. The Video Clinics will be free to all eLearning Africa delegates. The time and place of the Clinics will be advertised at the conference.

The eLearning Africa Team
eLearning Africa 2013 - Innovation or Sustainability: the Choice for African Education
Four controversial experts will take part in "a bare-knuckle fight" about priorities for African education at this year's eLearning Africa Debate. Outspoken Scottish entrepreneur and blogger Donald Clark and Namibian teacher and eLearning expert Maggy Beukes-Amiss will square up to "mobile technology crusader" Adele Botha and Angelo Gitonga of the ICT for Education Unit of Kenya's Ministry for Education at the annual war of words. They'll be arguing about whether too much attention has been paid to innovation in education and not enough to sustainability.
"It's a big issue and there'll be a bare-knuckle fight," says Harold Elletson, who will chair the debate alongside Honourable Silvia Makgone, Deputy Minister of Education, Namibia. According to Dr Elletson, "Some people think that the focus on innovation and technology has just persuaded governments and consumers to invest in equipment that soon becomes redundant. They say that the priority should be to support projects that are sustainable. Other people argue that innovation is vital to Africa's competitiveness and future economic growth. They say that it should be at the heart of the education system."
The eLearning Africa Debate has become the highlight of the eLearning Africa conference, an annual gathering of experts and decision-makers from all over Africa and beyond. Traditionally one of the liveliest and best attended events at the conference, this year's debate is likely to stir up real controversy.
"It's an issue which affects everyone and on which everyone has an opinion," says Dr Elletson. "The debate is an opportunity for conference participants to say what they think about one of the most important issues for the future of education in Africa."
The motion for debate, which will be put to a vote, is "This house believes that sustainability is more important than innovation for education in Africa". The debate will be held at the Safari Conference Centre in Windhoek, Namibia. All conference participants are welcome to attend and to take part in what promises to be a tense and exciting climax to a fascinating conference.
Information on the debate can be found at http://www.elearning-africa.com/programme_debate.php, and the full conference programme can be found at http://www.elearning-africa.com/programme_table.php%20.

New 'Wayfinding' Signs Installed on Richmond Highway
Phase 1 Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation's Wayfinding Signage Program marks major commercial areas.
Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation will commemorate the beginning of the installation of wayfinding signage on Wednesday as part of its efforts to revitalize Richmond Highway.
The program aims to create a cohesive feel for Richmond Highway and guide visitors to historic and cultural amenities.
Phase I includes 12 signs that mark Richmond Highway's commercial areas: North Gateway, Penn Daw, Groveton, Hybla Valley, and Mount Zephyr. Of these signs, seven will be gateway signs and five directional signs will be installed, according to SFDC Marketing and Communications Director David Ben.
The installation began on Thursday and will be completed in the next few weeks, Ben told Patch.
The Richmond Highway Wayfinding Signage program is part of a statewide pilot program by VDOT that SFDC conceived in 2005, according to a statement issued by SFDC.
SFDC collaborated with VDOT, Fairfax County Department of Transportation, TMG Construction, and Merje, a design firm, to ensure the signs comply with visibility and safety laws.
"We are extremely excited about these wayfinding signs, and believe they will continue to improve people's image of the Richmond Highway corridor," SFDC Executive Director David Versel said.
SFDC will host a dedication event Nov. 7 at 10:30 a.m. at the "Mount Zephyr" sign, which will be in front of the Potomac Square complex located at 8405 Richmond Highway. Mount Vernon District Supervisor Gerry Hyland and Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay will attend.

After reading the story, I still don't know what a "wayfinding" sign or a "gateway" sign is.
Beth Lawton
3:54 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
They are, literally, signs to help you find your way or signs marking off specific neighborhoods along the Richmond Highway corridor.

3 Questions from the Community
Does this handle lock? Say I use it for a bathroom - can we lock it?
Does this handle have a lock? If we use it for a bathroom for instance, can we lock it?
If accidentally locked, can it be unlocked from outside. I'm planning to use this for a toddler's room.

Product Brief
Sixth generation 600-V IGBTs claim hard switching efficiency benefits
Paul Buckley11/20/2012 1:52 PM EST
Tell us What You Think
We want to know what you thought about this Product. Let us know by adding a comment.
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has unveiled a sixth generation IGBT technology that offers improved switching loss/conduction loss trade-off for increased efficiency and improved performance.
The new technology is the basis for a new family of compact 600 V devices that will suit a variety of hard switching applications including motor drives, solar inverters and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).Toshiba's sixth generation IGBT technology combines a finer pattern design and a thinner 'punch through' wafer process than the previous generation, as well as a highly optimised vertical design. As a result, devices based around the new process are able to provide lower VCE(sat) conduction losses and reduced Eon and Eoff switching losses.
New products featuring the sixth generation technology offer current ratings of 15 A (GT15J341), 20 A (GT20J341), 30 A (GT30J341) and 50 A (GT50J342). Each of the parts integrates both the IGBT and a fast reverse recovery diode connected between emitter and collector, in a single, compact package. All feature a typical VCE(sat) of 1.5 V at the nominal current. The 15 A and 20 A parts are supplied in a isolated TO-220SIS package, while the 30 A and 50 A devices are available in an non-isolated TO-3P(N) (TO-247 equivalent) package.
The efficiency and performance improvements offered by the new devices can be seen for example by comparing the GT50J342 50 A device and the GT30J341 30 A device with their predecessors. At TC=150°C with a current of 50 A the GT50J342 provides a reduction in VCE(sat) of 32% and respective reductions in Eon and Eoff of 13% and 26%. This reduces overall losses by 24% (DC bus voltage 300 V and IGBT switching frequency of 20 KHz). At TC=150°C with a current of 30 A the GT30J341 provides a reduction in VCE(sat) of 30% and respective reductions in Eon and Eoff of 12% and 33%. This reduces overall losses by 26% (DC bus voltage 300 V and IGBT switching frequency of 20KHz).

Are you shocked to learn that 35 percent of heterosexual women have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner? We were too, after reading The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's first-ever national report on sexual violence.
The numbers are pretty disturbing: In addition to 35 percent of straight women, 44 percent of lesbian women and 61 percent of bisexual women had need raped, physically abused, and/or stalked by someone they knew.
In light of the CDC report, though, comes the House's final approval yesterday to renew the Violence Against Women Act, the l994 law created to assist victims of domestic and sexual violence. Conservatives in the House were holding up passage of the law, proposing an alternative last week that wanted to limit protection of LGBT groups and American Indian women on reservations.
Fortunately, that hold-up failed, and the new legislation provides new and expanded federal programs to help local law enforcement and victims of domestic and sexual abuse (including gay, bisexual, transgender victims and American Indian women.) All good news.
But is VAWA enough to keep us safe? In her Time article, "Whats Wrong with the Violence Against Women Act?", writer Kate Pickert points out how some feminist researchers criticize VAWAs mandatory arrest laws for doing nothing to address the causes of intimate partner violence.
Under the mandatory arrest law, police responding to domestic-violence calls are obliged to make an arrest, which may "remove the preferences of abused women from a process that can leave them financially strapped and worried that the state will take custody of their children, writes Pickert.
Atlantic writer Molly Ball cites a study from 2007 in which the law backfired, leading to an increased number of intimate-partner homicides in states where mandatory arrest is exercised.
At best, the VAWA cash would be spent on law enforcement as well as prevention and services to empower women who are suffering to feel free to leave unhealthy relationships. At least the passing of the new legislation is a step in the right direction.

Snakes Slither to Brownwood
By: Liz Gonzales
Updated: March 15, 2013
Well the snakes may have been in Sweetwater last weekend, but now they've slivered on over to Brownwood for the 149th Annual Rattlesnake Round Up.
75 vendors fill the coliseum offering everything from handbags to jerseys to giant snakes.
And of course there's the snake pit. Over 60 snakes fill the enclosure with the famous rattle.
The fame will only continue Saturday and Sunday as Jackie Bibby performs his famous stunt show routines where it all began for him, right here in Brownwood.
With fun and excitement on every booth, the Jaycees remind us what this event is really all about.
"Jaycees is really big on going in and working with small businesses and try to lift up small businesses. So you're going to see a lot of events like where we bring in small businesses from Brownwood and try to lift them up," says Pat McLaughlin
The Jaycees hope the rattlesnake trend helps boost attendance this year and makes it their biggest round up yet.
