An Emergency Unit With Children in Mind
By JULIE MILLER
Published: October 31, 1993
MARQUIS JONES'S mouth drooped as he lay on an examining table in the emergency room of the children's unit of Yale-New Haven Hospital.
"Show me where it hurts," the doctor said to the 7-year-old as her hands gently probed his belly.
Marquis's mother, Valerie Jones, brought her son to the emergency room after he began vomiting and complaining of fatigue and headaches. "You're in a lot quicker than you would be if children were mixed with adults," she said, referring to the children's unit emergency room. "And there's less commotion for the kids to have to go through." Designed for Small Patients
In other ways, too, the emergency room is equipped with children in mind. Blood-pressure cuffs, breathing tubes and other medical devices are available in various sizes to fit children of different ages. Similarly, the monitoring equipment is fitted with cables appropriate for small patients.
But in many places across the nation children's needs in emergency care have been overlooked, while services for injured or seriously ill adults have improved, a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Donald N. Medearis Jr., said in a report on emergency medical services for children. The report, published last July by the Institute of Medicine, a unit of the National Academy of Sciences, called for widespread improvements in children's emergency care. The report also recommended that Congress appropriate $30 million a year for five years to support state and Federal emergency service programs for children.
Dr. Medearis is chairman of a 19-member committee that studied pediatric emergency medical services for two years and prepared the report. Noting that "children are not simply little adults," he explained that a child's normal respiration rate, heart rate and blood pressure are different from an adult's. Changes in those vital signs that indicate deterioration in adults may not be present in children. For this reason, treating children requires instruments of different sizes, different types and doses of medicine and psychological support appropriate for their age. 'Difficult to Evaluate'
Caring for seriously ill or injured children also demands special diagnostic skills, said the director of pediatric emergency services at the children's unit, Dr. David Bachman. A 6-month-old with abdominal pain, for instance, could be suffering from any of a number of problems. "It's difficult to evaluate, because the child can't communicate, and some professionals get nervous about treating a child," Dr. Bachman said.
Although ambulance services and hospital emergency rooms are assumed to be equally capable of caring for children and adults, it is not true, the report stated. In addition to better training for medical professionals who treat children, the report recommended that emergency rooms and ambulances be equipped with supplies and medical devices for children. Cervical collars used for patients with neck injuries, for instance, are not always available in children's sizes and can interfere with breathing.
In Connecticut, state regulations require all ambulances to carry equipment in children's sizes, and the vehicles are inspected annually, said the chief of field services in the State Office of Emergency Medical Services, Marie Wilson. Emergency medical technicians must take a course that includes pediatric emergency care. "But it's not as extensive as most of us would like to see," Ms. Wilson said. Regulations Under Consideration
All hospital emergency rooms in the state are prepared to treat children, said a spokeswoman for the Connecticut Hospital Association, Julie Cox. She added that the State Office of Emergency Medical Services is preparing regulations under which a critically injured child would be considered for transfer from a local hospital to one with a pediatric intensive-care unit.
Information on the number of children treated each year in emergency rooms across the nation is not available, Dr. Medearis said, although the report by the Institute of Medicine stated that children account for an estimated 25 to 35 percent of all emergency room visits.
"What we do know is that some 21,000 children and young people under age 20 died in 1988 alone as a result of injuries," Dr. Medearis said. "That same year, nearly 21,000 more deaths occurred because of illness and other disorders."
Injury is the leading cause of death in children more than a year old; for younger children, the major causes are developmental disabilities, birth defects, genetic problems and prematurity, said the chief and chairman of pediatrics at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Joseph B. Warshaw. Since the children's unit opened last July, Dr. Bachman said, about 50 youngsters a day have been treated in the emergency room for head injuries, burns, lacerations, broken bones, asthma and flu. Automobile and bicycle accidents, drownings and poisonings are high on the list of the most common emergencies. In addition, increases in child abuse and the number of shootings and assaults among young people have placed greater demands on emergency services in general. Few Training Programs
Despite the growing need, there are few training programs in pediatric emergency care because it is an area of medicine that is still developing, Dr. Warshaw said. A survey of 85 percent of the emergency medicine residency programs in the United States in 1980 showed that an average of four months was dedicated to pediatrics, Drs. Stephen Ludwig and Gary R. Fleisher, authors of "Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Medicine," reported. Residents trained in the programs often had difficulty distinguishing a child with meningitis, or inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, from one with a high fever caused by an ear infection, they added.
Now, however, pediatric emergency medicine is a recognized sub-specialty of pediatrics and emergency medicine, Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Fleisher wrote.
In the future, hospitals that serve as regional centers for pediatric emergency services may be the most economical way of providing better care for Connecticut's children, said James L. Paturas, the director of emergency services at Bridgeport Hospital and a member of the committee that prepared the Institute of Medicine report. Preventing Injuries
Mr. Paturas and Dr. Bachman emphasized the importance of teaching children and their families to prevent injuries. Keeping poisons out of reach and insisting that children wear helmets while they're riding their bicycles are two of the most important precautions, Dr. Bachman said.
Mr. Paturas expressed the hope that safety procedures will be passed down from one generation to the next. "You can't say enough about it," he said. "There's nothing we would like more than to be put out of business. The greatest asset we have as a nation is our young people."

About MeClaudius: Why do you allow Caligula to act like that?
Livia: Because it amuses me. And because he will be the next emperor of Rome.
[Claudius stares]
Livia: You don't believe me?
Claudius: If you say so, grandmother. You know I don't concern myself with higher politics. Still, what about Castor? And Caligula has two older brothers.
Livia: Castor is ill and Thrasyllus says he won't recover. He also says Tiberius will choose Caligula to succeed him.
Claudius: Why?
Livia: Vanity. Tiberius wants to be loved, at least after his death if not before. And the best way to ensure that...
Claudius: Is to have someone worse to follow him. He's certainly no fool.
Livia: He's the biggest fool in my family. I had always thought that that was you... but I think now I was wrong.

Must Visit
Humayun mosque, as the name suggests, was built by Mughal Emperor Humayun.He was, however, not a strong ruler like his father, Babur. He was defeated by Sher Shah Suri and while on his way back he halted at a place where Feroz Shah Tughlak had built a fort with a lat in it. Humayun offered Friday prayers at this place and thereafter a mosque was also built here as a tribute to him. The architecture of the mosque follows Mughal style and it was completed in three decades from 15526 to 1556.

The mosque hosts a big screen built with Lakhauri bricks pointing to its west as a direction for holding prayers. There is also a mehrab- an arch-which shows the direction of Kaaba in Mecca, the holiest place of Muslims.
Humayun mosque is a very popular Islamic shrine and the Muslims visit the place in large numbers on Fridays to offer their prayers. It is a very huge monument and can host thousands of people at a time.

THEY are a "wild looking" breed, whose temperament is anything but - and now they are officially recognised to compete for champion status.
From January 1 pixiebobs - including the polydactyl type that have an extra digit - will be recognised by the Australian Cat Federation (ACF) and allowed to compete in competitions for champion status, including at the 2013 Purina Sydney Royal Cat Show.
It is the first time polydactyl cats have been recognised and approved for competition in the Australian cat scene.
Michael Phillips brought two pixiebob kittens to Australia from England in September 2010 and is one of only two pixiebob breeders in the country.
Mr Phillips, from Pixieroo Cattery which he runs with Richard Frame, said he wanted a "wild looking breed" that wasn't feral.
He said pixiebobs have a short tail and about half of the breed are polydactyl, meaning they have an extra toe on one or more of their paws.
"The other thing is they have very plush fur and a big bum and thick legs so they can jump," Mr Phillips said.
They were recognised by the The Feline Association of NSW from early this year, and the association put the case forward to recognised by the ACF.
"We're quite chuffed about it. We think it's a wonderful thing," he said.
The other pixiebob breeders in Australia are Terry Goulden and John Greenway from Auspixie Cattery.
Mr Goulden said pixiebobs were a domesticated cat with no wild genes.
"It's quite an intelligent and people-orientated cat," he said. "A pixiebob likes to be around people, but on their terms. They're quite playful and they tolerate other animals."
In the US, polydactyl cats descended from Ernest Hemingway's cat Snowball still frequent the Hemingway Home and Museum. More than 40 cats roam the property in Florida.

In OOPs there are four important fundamentals 1. inheritance 2.Polymorphism 3.Abstraction 4.Encapsulation Encapsulation means hide data membersoutside classes, only methods of that class can be access that members. If you need to use that method in other classes then you can make class member function public but encapsulation does not allow to use member variable directlyoutsides. e.g class demo { private int var; public int getVar() { return var; } public void setVar(int var) { this.var = var; } } Outsider class can be use getter setter but not variable directly. Abstraction means hidden the codeuser. e.g User retrieve datadata base for that purpose we can use Java code to connect and fetch datadatabase so inscenario abstraction pattern hide theinternal functionalityuser. User will have the information on what the object does instead of how it does it. Java use abstract class and interfaces for abstraction so its help to hide data and increase reusability.

with individual expansion lugs
The Vorwald expansion chucks of the Series 841 are suitable for shaftless rewinding and unwinding machines operating with medium torque values. The expansion of the expansion lugs takes place centrally.
Two different types of expansion lugs are available in order to cover all requirements: Lengthwise grooved expansion lugs made of steel and expansion lugs with smooth surface made of polyurethane. The number and positioning of the expansion lugs in the so called mantle are determined by the customer specifications. Alternatively expansion leafs made of aluminium or steel with and without surface refinement are available too.
The lengthwise grooved and hardened surface of the steel expansion lugs permits the greatest possible torque transmission with cardboard cores. The smooth surface of the polyurethane expansion lugs permits this force transmission with steel, aluminium and plastic cores. All expansion lugs are equipped with a leg spring to ensure slide back into the mantle. This makes push-on and push-off of the material cores easy. Expansion chucks with expansion lugs or expansion leafs are available for cores with internal diameter in the range from 50 to 500 mm. The functional principle is based on the inclined plane. Actuation of the radial tightening screw pushes the cone like a wedge under the expansion lugs, thus pressing them outwards. The cone and the expansion lugs have the same bevel. Thus a radial movement is produced from an axial movement.
This arrangement provides the expansion chuck with a very large clamping force. A further very important advantage of this arrangement is the absolutely concentric clamping of the cores, because all expansion lugs expand uniformly to the same extent. This makes very high winding speeds achievable.
The mantles can be made of numerous different materials with numerous wall thicknesses, depending on the application envisaged by the customer. Based on the Vorwald standard, the expansion chucks are customised according to the modular design principle.

Wheat as an alternative livestock feed
For those farmers faced with low quality wheat this season, incorporating that wheat into livestock diets may be an option, but Steve Boyles, Extension beef specialist at Ohio State University says there are factors to consider, such as how much wheat to substitute for grain in the ration. For those who have not had much experience feeding wheat, Boyles suggests talking with your local extension office or your feed representative on how best to incorporate wheat into the diet.

Stayed 3 nights at the Red Lion from May 6-8 inclusive. Great location attached to the mall. Room was clean and well appointed. Bed was quite comfortable. While we were there, they were in the process of installing all new armoires in the rooms to accomodate new tv's. The current tv's are old crt models. Our room was quiet even though we were next to elevator. Maybe partly due to fact was shoulder season so hotel not full.
Breakfast was included in our stay and it was excellent. Lots of hot and cold choices so everyone should be able to find what they want to eat. The folks making the omlettes did a great job and the setting the breakfast was served in was very nice.
Did not use the pool or hot tub but they looked ok. The central couryard was nice and there was a fire in the firepit at night. Nice touch.
Everyone we met in the hotel from the room maids, to breakfast personnel, to the folks at the front desk were friendly and cheerful. Overall great value here in my opinion.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Red Lion Hotel Kalispell celebrates the beauty of the Flathead Valley Region. Our central location in the valley provides endless opportunities for exploration, including Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake and Whitefish Mountain Resort at Big Mountain Ski and Summer Resort.

Women's Tennis Falls Short to Clemson
Related Links
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 47 Florida State women's tennis team (14-9, 6-6 ACC) saw a six-match winning streak snapped by the No. 46 Clemson Tigers (10-11, 5-7 ACC) by the score of 5-2 on Sunday afternoon at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
The six-match streak of consecutive wins was the longest such streak in six seasons, since a six-match streak of non-conference wins in 2011.
"It was a good fight up and down the line, just too little too late," Florida State head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "We didn't play quite as well as did on Friday (in the win over Notre Dame), not quite as sharp finishing as did on Friday. Credit to Clemson, they came out and competed unbelievably hard and never let up."
Before the match, the team's lone senior, Daniela Schippers, and her family recognized as part of Senior Day festivities. Florida State's tennis programs traditionally play the national anthem and fly the flag of the home country of the student athlete, so the Guatemala national anthem was played before the match.
"We're happy for Dany to finish her career with her last home match being a victory," Hyde said. "That's exactly what you want as a senior and she did a great job of staying poised and just hanging around in her match today. That's what it required and I'm really happy for her to finish her career here at home with a win."
For the match, the Tigers gained the upper hand in doubles, as No. 31 Marie Leduc/Ayan Broomfield defeated sophomore Julia Mikulski and Andrea Garcia 6-3 and Constanza Gorches/Sydney Riley bested sophomore Ariana Rahmanparast and freshman Nandini Das 6-4 to grab the doubles point.
In singles play, the Seminoles got out to a better start, winning three of the six first sets. While the Noles put up a lot of fight, Clemson was able to clinch the match at 4-0 with wins on courts six, three, and two.
On Senior Day, it would be Daniela Schippers to register the first point for Florida State as she defeated Riley 6-4, 6-3 in straight sets to cap off her career at home.
Garcia, the young freshman playing on court five, also took care of business in a tight match, coming back from down 0-4 to win the first set 7-5(4) in a tiebreak, capping off the win 7-6(5), 6-4 over Clemson's Daniela Ruiz in the second set to put the score at 4-2.
In the last match to finish, junior Gabriella Castaneda and Leduc battled to a third set tiebreak. Castaneda fell behind early but able to grab a 9-8 lead in the ten-point tiebreak, only to fall 2-6, 6-2, 12-10 to conclude the match on court one.
Next Up
With the home schedule complete, the Seminoles will hit the road for the final weekend of the regular season with matches at Virginia on Friday April 21 at 3:30 p.m. and at Virginia Tech on Sunday April 23 at 11:30 a.m. With at least five teams, including Florida State, currently tied for fourth in the ACC standings, how the final weekend shakes out will go a long way in determining the seeding of the ACC Championships, which begin just three days after the end of the regular season.

NEMA'S control indices for 3Q03 are flat despite economic growth
Rosslyn, VA—The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA, Rosslyn, VA) reports that both its Primary Industrial Control Index and Primary Industrial Control and Adjustable Speed Drive Index remained essentially flat in 2003's third quarter.
Rosslyn, VA— News about the overall economy, and manufacturing in particular, has been largely positive recently. Preliminary figures indicate that the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a 7.2% annual rate in 2003's third quarter (3Q03); nonresidential construction investment increased by 2.5% from August to September; durable goods orders and shipments improved for the fourth time in five months, and the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing report was above its benchmark index value of 50 for the fourth straight month.
However, despite these upbeat reports, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) reports that both its Primary Industrial Control Index and Primary Industrial Control and Adjustable Speed Drive Index remained essentially flat in 2003's third quarter. The Primary In-dustrial Control Index edged up by 0.5 percentage points over its upwardly revised 2Q03 value of 73.6 to reach an index value of 74.1 for 3Q03. However, that improvement still leaves the index down nearly 5% from its level of one year ago. Meanwhile, NEMA's Primary Industrial Control and Adjustable Speed Drive Index increased 1.7 points from its revised 2Q03 level, though its 3Q03 index value of 96.9 is approximately 3.5% less than during the same period last year.
"A couple of economic indicators might help explain the seeming disparity between these modest index results and the relatively more robust state of the domestic economy,' says Steve Wilcox, NEMA's market research director. 'Industrial production of industrial machinery, which reached a high of over 130 points in the 3Q00, and plunged rapidly to a trough of 83 points in 1Q02, has stagnated during the last two quarters after seeming to be on the verge of a recovery. Additionally, manufacturers are still saddled with a good deal of excess capacity as demonstrated by a factory-operating rate that has yet to break through the 73% mark. As business investment continues to pick up and excess capacity is absorbed, the industrial control business indexes are likely to rebound as well.'
NEMA issues its two control business indices quarterly. The Primary Industrial Control Index represents U.S. shipments for motor starters, contactors, terminal blocks, control circuit devices, motor control centers, sensors, programmable controllers, and other industrial control devices.
In 2001, NEMA expanded its data collection program to include adjustable speed drives, which is a key energy-saving industrial component. The Primary Industrial Control and Adjustable Speed Drives Index provides a broader measure of the industrial control marketplace. Industrial control equipment, a $2.6 billion U.S. market, is primarily used in industrial applications for the control or regulation of power utilization apparatus, including motors. This index represents monthly sales information collected by NEMA from its members, who include the major industrial control manufacturers in the U.S. market.
The data underlying these indices represent more than 90% of U.S. sales of this equipment. Domestic shipments of electrical products within NEMA's scope exceed $100 billion.

ViVOtech Launches ViVOtag and ViVOapps
Software will enable mobile advertising, marketing and loyalty programs with electronic redemption using existing mobile phones.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- ViVOtech launched a ViVOtag sticker solution and the backend ViVOapps mLoyalty redemption software enabling merchants to deliver targeted and engaging mobile advertising, marketing and loyalty programs to customers' existing mobile phones, the company reported.
Without fast and intuitive electronic redemption at the point-of-sale (POS), mobile marketing may not become widespread, according to the vendor. However, ViVOtag adds intuitive contactless technology, which can be applied to any mobile phone today turning it into a loyalty device.
Additionally, ViVOapps mLoyalty redemption software allows merchants to bundle a loyalty program with mobile add, coupons and promotions and deliver them via text, SMS or MMS message to the consumer's mobile phone, the company reported.
In order to redeem one or more coupons, the consumer simply taps their ViVOtag enabled phone once onto the contactless POS at the checkout. Consumers can also receive in-store personalized services, advertising or offers by tapping their phone onto contactless-enabled kiosks, digital signage, price checkers or POS systems to notify merchants of their presence in the store.
ViVOtech's ViVOtag contactless payment device comes in multiple sizes and has an option for a built-in magnetic field isolation layer, allowing the tag to be attached safely onto the back of most existing mobile handsets on the market today, according to the company. Also, ViVOtag can be branded and customized for any loyalty and marketing program by retailers.

After receiving scholarship offers from numerous big-time college football programs, he has narrowed his list of schools to seven.
"I'm down to seven schools – Florida State, UGA, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, UNC, Alabama and Ole Miss," he said. "UGA is my leader and Florida State is second."
All the above schools have offered the four-star defensive end except Alabama and Ole Miss, but Street said he thinks those two could be close to pulling the trigger.
Street has some will take some visits in the coming months.
"I'll be going up to Virginia Tech on April 13," said the 6-foot-4, 265-pound Street. "That's the only thing I have lined up right now. But this summer, I'm going to visit Florida State, UGA, Ole Miss and probably Alabama."
The nation's 40th-ranked prospect is in no hurry to make a decision.
"I think I'm going announce my decision at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl or on Signing Day," he said.
Last season, 93 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, two blocked punts, two blocked field goals, and one defensive touchdown.

The males use these pheromones to attract females. The Rakelli are humanoid in stature, and have clawed fingers and toes. Their ancestors lived in the water, and most Rakelli litters are birthed in the water. They have evolved into what some consider the most beautiful of all humanoid races. As a people, the Rakelli existed in a feudal society, with noble houses ruling over lower classes of artisans, workers, and slaves. Rather than become wrapped up in learning about the galaxy at large, the Rakelli chose to remain introverted and refine their already "superior" culture.

text: Culture 19 March 2007 Building peace Palestine: peace not apartheid Jimmy Carter Simon & Schuster, 320pp, £17.99</ Sign up for our weekly email * Who would have guessed that Jimmy Carter - architect of the peace between Egypt and Israel, Nobel prize-winner and housebuilder for the poor - has been a Jew-hater all along? Some of the most vocal elements of the powerful pro- Israel lobby in America are at a loss to conjure up any other explanation for why the former US president has made such strident criticisms of the Jewish state in his surprise bestseller, Palestine: peace not apartheid. The alternative is that what he says is true. Carter's critics were infuriated before they even got beyond the cover - over the use in the title of the taboo "apartheid", with its implications of racism. But the virulent backlash against him has largely been provoked by his refusal to accept the mantra that plucky little Israel is forced to do terrible things to fend off the hordes of enemies at the gates. Americans who rely on the New York Times or CNN for explanation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are generally presented with reporting in which responsibility for the conflict, and the failure to achieve peace, is either equally apportioned or, more often, blamed on the Arabs. Carter is having none of it. He doesn't excuse the Palestinians from responsibility, but says that Israel shoulders most of the blame because of its failure to grasp opportunities for an enduring peace. Carter accuses Israeli leaders of negotiating in bad faith, of failing to live up to commitments made to him and other American presidents, and of being more interested in the pursuit of land than an end to conflict. He says squarely that, during the presidency of George Bush senior, "Israel put confiscation of Palestinian land ahead of peace". It is still true today. Nor does he hold back in his use of language. Jewish settlements are "colonies", the vast West Bank barrier is an "imprisonment wall", and what remains of Palestine is subjected to "apartheid". The former president says that, as far back as 1977, he concluded that treatment of "non-Jews in the occupied territories as a substratum of society is contrary to the principles of morality and justice on which democracies are founded". It is not anti-Semitism that is driving Carter, but a moral certainty rooted in his religion. In 1973, he told the fiercely secular Israeli leader Golda Meir that the Hebrew scriptures say Israel was punished whenever its leaders turned away from devout worship of God. So, he asked, was a secular government such a good idea? Carter was in the room when it mattered and his recollections offer real insights. He says that, while the peace between Israel and Egypt has held, "other equally important provisions of our agreement have not been honoured since I left office". Within weeks of putting his signature to the treaty, the Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin betrayed a commitment to stop building Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. "For Menachem Begin, the peace treaty with Egypt was the significant act for Israel, while solemn promises regarding the West Bank and Palestinians would be finessed or deliberately violated," Carter writes. "We all knew that Israel must have a comprehensive and lasting peace, and this dream could have been realised if Israel had complied with the Camp David accords and refrained from colonising the West Bank, with Arabs accepting Israel within its legal borders." The view that Israel's colonial ambitions stood in the way of peace is not widely heard in America, and the backlash against it has been furious. Prominent pro-Israel activists such as Alan Dershowitz have accused Carter of anti-Semitism, lying about details of the negotiations he led, and a string of factual errors that turn out not to be errors at all. The former US president was denounced in full-page adverts in the New York Times. Brandeis University, an institution with strong Jewish ties, said it would only let the former US president speak on the campus if Dershowitz appeared alongside him. Carter refused and the university backed down. All that the fury seems to have done is keep Palestine: peace not apartheid on the bestseller lists and widen its audience. What Carter understands is that it is pro-Israel to point out that its interests are not best served by leaders who make claims to want peace while fabricating reasons not to negotiate as a cover for creeping colonisation and ever-greater subjugation. As for apartheid, Carter points out that the book's title refers to Palestine, not to Israel. He means not that Israel is an apartheid state, but that it is entrenching an apartheid system in the occupied territories. And he sees the vast West Bank barrier - a wall when it runs through Jerusalem - as the latest tool in imposing what looks increasingly like the old South African bantustan homelands. "Utilising their political and military dominance, they [Israeli leaders] are imposing a system of partial withdrawal, encapsulation and apartheid on the Muslim and Christian citizens of the occupied territories," he writes. Perhaps Carter's book will finally open up the debate that needs to be had in the US about Israel. If for nothing else, it is worth reading for an insight into what Americans rarely hear.

Superman Revenge Squad is a team of super-villains, ridden by Morgan Edge to combat it. But due to lack of cohesion among the team, Superman can defeat them.
The squad later grows to include members from other planets, all of whom are sworn enemies of Superman. Many of the Squad's plans to destroy Superman use psychological warfare, including red kryptonite induced nightmares, hypnotising Superman into committing destructive acts,and tricking Superman into revealing his secret identity. They transferred the intelligence of a Superman robot into a super-powered body, making him Wonder Man, and hoping he would destroy Superman with some Kryptonite that he was given and to which he was invulnerable. However he realised their plot and with Superman threw the ship with such force it would take years for the two members to break free, but Wonder Man then told as the body would soon die. Once they lured Superman into following them to 1,000,000 AD, where he lost his powers and was trapped on the Earth, due to the Sun having turned Red by then. He used a miniature Kandorian rocket left in his Fortress, after shrinking with red kryptonite, to travel back to his own time. They appeared briefly in the first Superman Red/Superman Blue (July 1963) story line, they were about to attack the Earth after teaming up with Brainiac, but, in that moment, the anti-evil rays Superman developed strike them and they reform.
In one of their final pre-Crisis appearances, in DC Comics Presents #87, the Squad sends Superman into a parallel universe, where he meets Superboy-Prime, the sole superhero of Earth-Prime.
A version of the Superman Revenge Squad appears in the Justice League episodes "Hereafter". While the members are largely different as they consisted of Metallo, Kalibak, Livewire, Weather Wizard, and Toyman, their goal remains the same. After the other members are defeated by the Justice League, Toyman blasts Superman with an enormous energy cannon, apparently killing him. Flash prevents Wonder Woman from avenging Superman when she tries to punch a hole in Toyman's head. It is later discovered that Toyman's energy cannon had actually sent Superman 30,000 years into the future. Superman wandered the post-apocalyptic future Earth, until he returned home with help from immortal villain Vandal Savage, who was repentant for causing Earth's destruction with a weapon he stole from Ray Palmer.
