O potenciostato (figura 1) é um instrumento capaz de aplicar um potencial e medir a corrente resultante em um sistema eletroquímico. É um aperfeiçoamento de uma fonte de alimentação, utilizado principalmente em pesquisa científica para o estudo de reações eletroquímicas. Ao realizar este controle, o potenciostato atua como uma força motriz de reações eletroquímicas, ou seja, com um equipamento destes é possível controlar, através do potencial elétrico, estas reações. Algumas áreas de pesquisa contempladas incluem: eletroquímica, corrosão, baterias, células a combustível, eletroanalítica e sensores. Hoje em dia, praticamente todos os potenciostatos têm um outro modo de operação, chamado galvanostato. Nesse modo, invés do controle do potencial, o equipamento controla a corrente que passa pela célula eletroquímica e mede a diferença de potencial entre eletrodos.

História

O termo potenciostato foi introduzindo por A. Hickling em 1942 quando desenvolveu o primeiro circuito elétrico para controlar a diferença de potencial da, também desenvolvida por ele, célula eletroquímica de três eletrodos. Desde então, os potenciostatos se tornaram a base da eletroquímica e várias técnicas foram desenvolvidas em torno destes equipamentos com o passar dos anos. Apesar de o conceito permanecer o mesmo, os circuitos dos potenciostatos foram modificados com o tempo, principalmente após popularização dos amplificadores operacionais transistorizados, na década de 1960. Em 1968, a companhia americana Princeton Applied Resarch lançou o primeiro potenciostato comercial, o M170.

Funcionamento

Em um sistema eletroquímico, as reações ocorrem entre pelo menos dois eletrodos, onde um deles é doador de elétrons, e outro, por sua vez, o receptor. Contudo, em um sistema de apenas dois eletrodos não seria possível determinar qual deles seria o responsável pelos resultados observados em experimentos de potencial / corrente. Portanto, para fins de pesquisa científica, é utilizada uma célula eletroquímica de três eletrodos (ver Figura 2).

Figura 2: Célula eletroquímica de três eletrodos.

O potenciostato controla o potencial do eletrodo de interesse do estudo, chamado de eletrodo de trabalho, em relação a um eletrodo de referência. Para que o potencial do eletrodo de referência permaneça em um valor conhecido, é necessário evitar ao máximo a passagem de corrente por este eletrodo. Isso é alcançado pela conexão do eletrodo de referência a um eletrômetro de alta impedância. A aplicação do potencial, por sua vez, é realizada entre o eletrodo de trabalho e um eletrodo auxiliar, também conhecido como contra eletrodo. Portanto, o potencial que é programado e registrado é sempre aquele entre o eletrodo de trabalho e o eletrodo referência, e é chamado de potencial de polarização. Por outro lado, o potencial que é aplicado entre o eletrodo de trabalho e o contra eletrodo é chamado de potencial de compliância. Ele normalmente não aparece na programação nem nos resultados experimentais, mas é necessário para conduzir o sistema para além do equilíbrio. Pode ser maior, igual, ou menor que o potencial de polarização, dependendo das condições, tamanho e cinética dos eletrodos, além da condutividade do eletrólito. De maneira geral, baixa condutividade do eletrólito, área pequena e/ou baixa atividade do contra eletrodo levam a um maior potencial de compliância, exigindo um potenciostato mais sofisticado.

O principio de funcionamento eletrônico do Potenciostato é baseado num componente eletrônico muito conhecido chamado amplificador operacional ou OpAmp. Um amplificador operacional típico possui duas entradas e uma saída, onde o valor de potencial elétrico na saída é igual à diferença de potencial das suas entradas multiplicado pelo ganho de malha aberta do OpAmp que é muito grande, em geral maior que  vezes (figura 4). O valor de potencial que se deseja aplicar à célula eletroquímica deve ser aplicado à entrada não inversora () do OpAmp. Desta forma, se o potencial elétrico da célula eletroquímica, medido entre a referência e o eletrodo de trabalho e ligado à entrada inversora do OpAmp (), for diferente do potencial desejado, esta diferença será bastante amplificada e será aplicada ao contra eletrodo, que está ligado à saída  do Amplificador Operacional. Esta grande diferença de potencial entre o eletrodo de trabalho e o contra eletrodo irá provocar uma corrente elétrica e de íons entre eles, alterando a diferença de potencial entre o eletrodo de trabalho e referência até que esta fique igual à programada.

Figura 4: Esquema eletrônico simplificado de um potenciostato.

Como a saída  do Amplificador Operacional é a seguinte:

onde A é o ganho do amplificador.

Como  está ligado ao contra eletrodo (),  é o potencial que se deseja aplicar () e  é o potencial entre a referência e o eletrodo de trabalho () temos:

ou

Como A é muito grande,  / A é aproximadamente zero, temos:

ou

Desta forma, o potenciostato consegue manter a diferença de potencial entre o eletrodo de trabalho e a referência igual à diferença de potencial programada. Potenciostatos modernos conseguem manter potenciais com precisão de décimos de milivolt e medir correntes de dezenas de femtoampère.

Técnicas eletroquímicas / eletroanalíticas
Além de manter potenciais em valores fixos, os potenciostatos modernos também oferecem a possibilidade de gerar rampas (variações lineares) ou pulsos de potencial. Na pesquisa eletroquímica, a técnica de potencial constante é chamada de Cronoamperometria, ao passo que técnicas de potencial variável são chamadas de Voltametria. Em todas elas, a corrente normalmente é medida em função do tempo e/ou do potencial. Dentre as técnicas de voltametria, a mais simples é a Voltametria Linear, que consiste de uma rampa de velocidade constante, estabelecida entre dois potenciais de interesse. Outras técnicas de voltametria incluem Voltametria Cíclica, de Pulso, de Pulso Diferencial e de Onda Quadrada. No campo da corrosão, a Voltametria é mais comumente chamada de Polarização. No modo galvanostático, a técnica mais emprega é a Cronopotenciometria, onde uma corrente constante é aplicada e o potencial versus eletrodo de referência é medido em função do tempo.

Há ainda uma técnica de corrente alternada, chamada de Espectroscopia de Impedância Eletroquímica.

Kemono (Japonês 獣 ou けもの "fera") é um tipo de arte japonesa, onde há personagens antropomórficos. É amplamente usado nas artes visuais, especialmente em desenho e pintura, e pode ser encontrado em uma variedade de mangás, animes, e Video games.

Esses personagens antropomórficos do kemono são chamados freqüentemente de Jūjin (Japonês 獣人 ou じゅうじん "teriantrópico", ou seja, metade humano e outra animal). Seu desenho difere de artista à artista, mas geralmente desenham criaturas "fofas" e bonitinhas. Sempre os personagens do kemono tem uma personalidade humana e vivem situações como tal, quase nunca agem como animais comuns.

Odilia Romero Hernández (San Bartolomé Zoogocho, Oaxaca, mayo 1971 - ) es una mujer indígena mexicana defensora de los derechos humanos indígenas y migrantes e intérprete zapoteca. Actualmente vive en Los Ángeles, California.

Trayectoria

Odilia Romero es co-fundadora y directora ejecutiva de Comunidades Indígenas en el Liderazgo (CIELO), una organización liderada por mujeres indígenas que combate el racismo y discriminación hacia los pueblos indígenas al brindar visibilidad y recursos a las comunidades indígenas migrantes. Fue la primera mujer en coordinar el Frente Indígena de Organizaciones Binacionales (FIOB), organización en la que diversas agrupaciones y personas indígenas en México y Estados Unidos trabajan en conjunto por la defensa y la promoción de la identidad y los derechos indígenas.

Es intérprete de zapoteco, español e inglés para las comunidades indígenas en Los Ángeles, California; en respuesta a la necesidad de intérpretes de lenguas indígenas capacitados para ayudar a las personas indígenas migrantes a comprender términos legales y de esta manera asegurar la justicia en los tribunales de Estados Unidos. Odilia asegura que en muchas ocasiones, los tribunales de migración no cuentan con intérpretes capacitados para muchas de las lenguas indígenas que hablan las personas migrantes. Por esta razón, Odilia organiza talleres de capacitación para hablantes de lenguas indígenas con el objetivo de combatir las deportaciones y las violaciones a los derechos humanos por la falta de intérpretes y traductores en hospitales, comandancias de policía y tribunales de migración de Estados Unidos.

Su experiencia en la organización y defensa de los derechos humanos indígenas y migrantes la han hecho acreedora de múltiples publicaciones académicas y la impartición de conferencias en diversas universidades en Estados Unidos, incluidas la Universidad John Hopkins y la Universidad de California (UCLA). Sus publicaciones se enfocan en temas diversos como, los desafíos en la organización de comunidades indígenas, el desarrollo del liderazgo de las mujeres y la preparación de una nueva generación de jóvenes. Su trabajo ha sido publicado en distintas revistas como Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Vogue y Democracy Now.

Parte de su trabajo se ha centrado en visibilizar los retos y desafíos a los cuales se enfrentan las personas indígenas en Estados Unidos. Odilia Romero asegura que la autogestión es la única vía por la que las comunidades indígenas pueden sobrevivir en dos naciones por las que son negadas e invisibilizadas. Durante la pandemia causada por el SARS-CoV-2, Odilia Romero a través de la fundación de Comunidades Indígenas en el Liderazgo, generaron una serie de videos traducidos a distintas lenguas indígenas, con el objetivo de contextualizar a las comunidades indígenas migrantes sobre el virus y la COVID-19. La información se generó de manera audiovisual debido a que algunas de esas lenguas se transmiten de manera oral. Además, esta misma organización logró obtener fondos para ayudas sociales a personas migrantes indígenas que trabajaban en el sector restaurantero y quedaron sin empleo durante la pandemia.

Bullseye is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and John Romita Sr.. A psychopathic assassin, Bullseye uses the opportunities afforded by his line of work to exercise his homicidal tendencies and to work out his own personal vendetta against Daredevil. He is also an enemy of the Punisher. Although he possesses no superpowers, Bullseye is able to use almost any object as a lethal projectile, be it weapons like shuriken and sai or seemingly harmless objects like playing cards and pencils. His marksmanship is uncanny, at a nearly supernatural level.

The character has been adapted into various forms of media relating to Daredevil. He has been portrayed by Colin Farrell in the 2003 film adaptation and by Wilson Bethel as Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter in the 2018 third season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Daredevil television adaptation, a name notably used in the Ultimate Marvel Universe comics version of the character and which was later integrated into the mainstream comics.

Publication history
The character's first appearance is in Daredevil  #131 (March 1976). Although created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist John Romita Sr., the book features art by Bob Brown and Klaus Janson.

Bullseye's real name and origins are unknown. He has used the name "Benjamin Poindexter" on several occasions, first mentioned on Daredevil #159 (1979) where he goes by the name "Mr. Poindexter" which he later claimed that it is "just one of the many names he used" (Daredevil #181, 1982). However, there are also instances where his name is given as "Lester". The miniseries Bullseye: Greatest Hits (2004) developed the character's backstory, but also revealed that some or all of it has been fabricated, probably by Bullseye himself. In this series, Bullseye's name was Leonard and had a brother named Nate (whose real name was later revealed as Lester by Leonard).

Following Civil War, Warren Ellis took over writing Thunderbolts and Bullseye became one of the core members of the new team line-up.

In the Secret Invasion aftermath storyline Dark Reign, Bullseye becomes a member of the Dark Avengers under the alias Hawkeye and features in a five-issue limited series Dark Reign: Hawkeye, written by Andy Diggle, with art by Tom Raney. As a member of the Dark Avengers, he has a major role in the crossover Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia, written by Matt Fraction. He appeared as a regular character in Dark Avengers #1-16 (March 2009-June 2010).

Bullseye is killed by Daredevil in Shadowland #1, but is later confirmed alive in Daredevil vol. 3 #26.

Fictional character biography

Early life and backstory
Bullseye grew up in The Bronx, where he lived with his brother and their abusive father. His brother's main form of recreation was playing with rifles, leading him to become an expert shot. When he was 10 years old, his brother started a fire in their home in an unsuccessful attempt to kill their father. Shortly thereafter, Bullseye was placed in a foster home, and became a baseball player in high school. He was an extremely talented pitcher, and was offered a scholarship, but instead opted to enter the minor leagues. After three games, he was called up to play a sold-out Major League game. He had surrendered no hits the entire game, and in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, he became bored and requested the coach pull him from the game. The coach refused, and insisted that he finish the game. The opposing team's batter mocked him, accusing him of cowardice. Bullseye threw the ball at his head, killing him. As the ball struck, he said only one word: "Bullseye". He was barred from professional baseball and convicted of manslaughter.

This is a retcon of a previous origin story, which depicts Bullseye growing up as a below average student in a trailer park with an alcoholic, physically abusive father. In this version of events, Bullseye fakes his father's suicide using a handgun set off by a toy arrow. It is unclear how many elements of this version are actually true.

His cold demeanor and unique skills, however, meant subsequent recruitment by the National Security Agency as an assassin was inevitable, and he was soon assigned to train Contras in Nicaragua. By the time he arrived, however, he claimed to have already been planning to leave the NSA. He had planned on robbing the Contras blind and fleeing, but soon discovered they were desperately poor. Bullseye made the best of the situation: within seven hours of being informed of their poverty, he had led the Contras in seizing a landing strip that the Colombian cocaine smugglers were using as a staging area before moving on to the United States. Without use of the airfield, the smugglers were unable to send new shipments. Bullseye set up his hapless Nicaraguan translator Paolo as the leader of the new force controlling the airfield, and let the word spread around; however, Paolo was nothing but a patsy. Bullseye planned to invite several organized crime heads to the airfield to broker a new deal with him as Paolo's supposed "right-hand man". He would take their money and disappear, presumably leaving Paolo to suffer the wrath of the Mafia, Russian Mafia, Yakuza, and various other criminal elements. However, before the deal could be finalized, the Punisher (Frank Castle) arrived.

Castle killed all the organized crime leaders in a fiery explosion from which Bullseye barely escaped. The two engaged in a fierce battle in which Bullseye was able to wound the Punisher and evade or disable several of his weapons. Bullseye then used some blood-reddened mud to paint a bull's-eye on his forehead, mocking Castle's inability to hit him. The fight concluded when Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrived, and the Punisher fled. Bullseye turned himself in to the D.E.A. agents and soon was assigned to infiltrate the Kingpin's criminal empire. He obtained a costume, fled yet again, and became one of the most dangerous hitmen in the world.

All of the above information is given by Bullseye during a subsequent interrogation by US intelligence. Just prior to escaping from custody, Bullseye confesses he made up some or all of his story to amuse himself; for example, he claims that he was really the one who started the fire which burned down his childhood home. The whole capture was a plan by the assassin to gain access to the prison where his father is being held. Bullseye finally gets revenge on his father, leaving him to burn as the prison's security systems torch everything inside.

Costumed criminal career
Bullseye battles (and defeats) Daredevil at a circus to establish his reputation as an extortionist. Shortly after, Daredevil by chance overhears him in the midst of an extortion attempt and captures him. Bullseye is later hired by Maxwell Glenn to kill Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson, and Daredevil interferes. Although Bullseye wins again, Daredevil escapes death, and Bullseye's professional reputation is damaged as a result. Seeking to regain his credibility, he challenges Daredevil on live television, but is soundly defeated.

Smarting from this even harsher blow to his reputation, Bullseye hires Eric Slaughter's gang and kidnaps the Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) to bait Daredevil into a revenge bout. Daredevil defeats him again, and the despair of this repeated humiliation drives him to a mental breakdown. It is later revealed that this breakdown was in part caused by a brain tumor, which begins causing migraines, paranoia and hallucinations that everyone he meets is Daredevil. He escapes from prison, but is recaptured by Daredevil, and the tumor is successfully removed. The tumor's symptoms quickly disappear, and defense lawyers are able to have him freed on the argument that his criminal behavior was caused solely by the brain tumor. He is hired to assassinate the Kingpin, but meets with repeated failure. Inexplicably, this convinces the Kingpin to employ him as a chief assassin, but he is fired the same day he witnesses the Kingpin's humiliating defeat at Daredevil's hands. Bullseye's repeated failed attempts to regain this briefly-held position became a running joke of the Daredevil series.

While in prison, he learns that the Kingpin has employed Elektra (Daredevil's former lover) as a new chief assassin. After escaping prison, Bullseye attacks and impales Elektra on her own sai. This fails to convince the Kingpin, who says he will only be rehired if Bullseye kills Daredevil. Bullseye attempts to ambush Daredevil, but their battle ends with his arch-foe dropping him from atop a telephone wire. The multi-story fall breaks Bullseye's back, paralyzing him.

During Bullseye's extended hospital stay following the fall, Daredevil breaks into his hospital room and forces him to participate in a two-man variation on Russian roulette. The revolver used in the game is secretly unloaded, but Daredevil has Bullseye take the even-numbered turns so that he would feel sure that the last shot is going to kill him. Bullseye has repeatedly cited this incident as his greatest grudge against Daredevil.

Japanese scientist Lord Dark Wind liberates Bullseye and has him brought to Japan, lacing his bones with adamantium and thus restoring his mobility. Lord Dark Wind did this so that Bullseye would work as an assassin in return, but in spite of this favor being done for him, Bullseye refuses to work for free. He instead makes another play to regain the position of the Kingpin's chief assassin once again if he kills Daredevil, knowing he would fail. Bullseye is imprisoned for several years.

Bullseye eventually escapes prison, and then battles Captain America. He battles Crossbones in an attempt to assassinate the Red Skull to regain his old position with the Kingpin.

After encountering the amnesiac Daredevil, he takes advantage of this by impersonating Daredevil and committing robberies in an attempt to destroy his nemesis's image. In one of his early heists, he is caught by his mark's disillusioned trophy wife. He becomes enamored of the wife who pleads with him to be taken away by him, but he keeps the wife in his derelict hideout as his lover, attempting to flatter her by showering her with stolen money and jewelry. However, the woman comes to realize that he is mentally weak and, frightened by one of his psychotic outbursts, leaves him. Gradually, Bullseye becomes so immersed in his Daredevil impersonation that he believes himself to truly be Daredevil, a confusion which the real hero takes advantage of to defeat him.

Bullseye later has another run-in with the Punisher when he is part of Frank's frame-up scheme that ends with Bullseye getting both of his hands shot and losing a finger to the Punisher's brutality. Bullseye encounters Deadpool and Gambit during another long interval in which the character was seldom used.

Bullseye is hired by the villain Mysterio to attack and confuse Daredevil. In the course of their battle, Bullseye kills Karen Page (Daredevil's long-time love interest) with one of Daredevil's own billy clubs.

Bullseye is recruited to steal the Identity Disc, purported to be in possession of A.I.M. and have vital information on the world's superheroes, along with Deadpool, Sabretooth, Vulture, and Juggernaut.

Bullseye offers to kill Daredevil for Kingpin, later entering Daredevil's apartment and attempting to kill Milla Donovan (Daredevil's new girlfriend). Enraged and already near the breaking point, Daredevil attacks Bullseye and throws him out the window. During the fight, the hero reveals to Bullseye that he knows his real name Lester, his mother was a prostitute, and that he never knew his father. He mocks the assassin's new 'Bullseye' tattoo and carves a new one over it with a rock.

Bullseye seeks purported documents confirming Daredevil's secret identity. After a brutal fight with Daredevil and Elektra, Bullseye flees into open traffic where he is hit by a truck, sustaining severe injuries.

Thunderbolts

Bullseye, along with many other villains, is recruited into the Thunderbolts by Iron Man and Mister Fantastic to hunt down anti-registration superheroes in the Civil War storyline. Afterwards, he is recruited by Norman Osborn into the reformed team led by Moonstone. He operates invisibly and is not seen by the public. He is used as a last resort and has a nano-chain fed into his system, so if he disobeys orders, he will receive an electrical shock.

Bullseye fights American Eagle after having been deceived by Songbird and told that his nano-chain is disabled. During the fight, he simultaneously receives an electrical shock from the nano-chain in his system on order of Moonstone and is attacked by American Eagle. American Eagle beats him severely, mocking him throughout for purposely avoiding fights with superpowered foes, and finally breaks Bullseye's neck. As a result of the damage sustained from both being attacked by a man with superhuman strength and being shocked by the nano-chain, Bullseye is paralyzed, is unable to speak, and has incurred severe brain injuries. Bullseye is later shown walking due to nanomechanical surgery, then goes on a killing spree using scalpels to "get some target practice in". Later, he joins the Thunderbolts in their efforts to assassinate Moon Knight.

Bullseye was with the Thunderbolts when they fought the Skrulls in Washington DC. He took advantage of the clone of Andrea von Strucker being distracted by Moonstone to kill Andrea, and nearly killed Moonstone in the process. Bullseye travels along with the other Thunderbolts to Central Park and joins the final battle against the main Skrull force. Obtaining a missile launcher from the Zeus, he fires a rocket through the Skrull Yellowjacket's right eye, thus disabling the Skrull from engaging with other heroes. Osborn orders Bullseye to kill Songbird, finally giving Bullseye the chance for revenge. Bullseye nearly succeeds, but is incapacitated by the Swordsman helping Songbird escape.

As a reward for his role during the Skrull invasion, Bullseye is placed on the Dark Avengers and given the costume and codename of Hawkeye.

On the Dark Avengers' first mission, he kills Morgana le Fey only for the sorceress to return yet again with an army of demons.

When the Dark Avengers fight a rogue Hulkbuster robot, "Hawkeye" disables the robot after killing its pilot. When the robot falls and kills 36 civilians, Osborn reprimands Bullseye for his part in the deaths, to which Bullseye demands credit for his kills. "Hawkeye" then goes out and saves a woman from being attacked by three men. He kills the men, and the woman inadvertently infuriates him by referring to Osborn as "his boss". After he kills the woman, he notices a news crew in a helicopter filming the action. He silences the news crew by blowing up the helicopter.

Bullseye is used to take out his old partner Deadpool. Deadpool eventually gains the upper hand and stabs Bullseye through the chest with a meat hook, who later wakes up in a hospital and goes after Deadpool again. Deadpool easily avoids Bullseye's attacks, then runs Bullseye down, stopping with one of the vehicle's tires on Bullseye's leg. Bullseye pays off Deadpool (under the pretense that Osborn told him to do so) to save himself.

Elektra stabs Bullseye with his own arrow.

Bullseye is later given the order by Osborn to eliminate Daredevil, who has been discovered leading the Hand. Daredevil (who is going through the trials needed to join the Hand) and Bullseye clash. Bullseye booby-traps a building with 100 people in it. Daredevil continues to battle Bullseye unaware that the building is rigged and that Bullseye has the detonator. When the building explodes, Bullseye escapes and leaves Daredevil to his grief, mocking that if Daredevil had chosen to kill him the people in the building might have been saved.

Molecule Man turns Bullseye into a pool of water to subdue him; however, as a liquid he still tries to attack Molecule Man. He is restored by the Sentry. He is also part of the team when they go to Manhattan to look for Noh-Varr. The Sentry finds him first but is distracted and leaves the battle later to find Noh-Varr gone.

Osborn later assigns Bullseye with the duty to kill Lindy Reynolds (Sentry's wife). He takes Lindy for a helicopter ride, and strangles and dumps Lindy's body in the ocean. When the Sentry questions him about Lindy's whereabouts, Bullseye claims Lindy committed suicide over the countryside by jumping out of the copter, and the Sentry flies off to find Lindy.

Shadowland
In the aftermath of Siege, Bullseye is incarcerated and sent to the Raft. But in the process of being transferred there, he manages to kill his captors and escapes. He makes his way back to Hell's Kitchen and arrives at Shadowland, Daredevil's fortress, and is confronted by Daredevil and a legion of Hand ninjas. Bullseye is unprepared for his enemy's newfound ruthlessness as Daredevil dislocates both his shoulders and then stabs him through the heart with his own sai, in much the same way Bullseye had killed Elektra years before. Later, a group of Hells Bikers put together an unauthorized funeral service (as J. Jonah Jameson had expressly forbade) for Bullseye; Ben Urich is dragged along, as well as Danny Deaver. However, Deaver continually sees visions of Bullseye; it is not clear whether or not it is Bullseye's spirit or simply part of Deaver's psychosis. Bullseye's funeral service is interrupted by Daredevil and the Hand and a massive brawl breaks out, almost killing Urich. Daredevil later exhumes Bullseye's corpse, intending to resurrect him as a soldier loyal to the Hand. The heroes interrupt the ceremony- Spider-Man explicitly noting that the only thing worse than killing Bullseye is the idea of bringing him back- preventing Bullseye's resurrection.

Return
It was later revealed that Bullseye was still barely alive as his body disappeared after the battle, but he has become an invalid due to his injuries who has to rely on a metal lung to survive. To get revenge, he is revealed to be the mastermind behind Klaw, Coyote, and Ikari's actions against Daredevil. He is later found by the hero who defeated Ikari and Lady Bullseye. The warehouse where they were is subsequently destroyed, and Bullseye is nearly drowned in radioactive waste, leaving him scarred and blind.

Bullseye would go on to have his body fully repaired by the Hand in an encounter with Elektra.

During the "Secret Wars" storyline, Bullseye is among the villains attending the Kingpin's viewing party of the incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610.

During the "Infinity Wars" storyline, Bullseye is among the villains that accompany Turk Barrett to his meeting with the Infinity Watch at Central Park.

When Daredevil's protégé Blindspot was left blinded by the villain Muse, Matt Murdock put out a bounty on himself out of guilt, attracting the attention of Bullseye and several other supervillains. Daredevil beat Bullseye and then revealed that he had put the contract out in hopes of luring Bullseye, as Blindspot's condition reminded Daredevil of the murder of Karen Page.

Hired by the Hood, Bullseye impersonates Ronin to commit crimes to ruin Hawkeye's reputation, however, Clint Barton uses Bullseye's identity and defeats the psychotic killer.

After the War of the Realms, Bullseye steals Dragonfang, mystical sword of the deceased Valkyrie, and uses it to mortally wound Heimdall. This earns him the enmity of the current Valkyrie, Jane Foster, who stops Bullseye by destroying Dragonfang.

Powers and abilities
Bullseye has an innate ability to throw virtually any object as a projectile with incredible accuracy and with enough force to be lethal. Some of his accomplishments include lacerating a person's throat with a thrown playing card, spitting his own tooth through a human skull, tossing a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, cutting a person's throat with a straw, killing four people with screws, and killing a person with a toothpick thrown through a window from a hundred yards away. Aside from his ability to throw projectiles with lethal accuracy, Bullseye is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, and has been trained in Karate. He is also extremely talented in the use of edged/throwing weapons and conventional firearms. Bullseye has exceptional physical conditioning, with the agility, reflexes, stamina, and speed of a professional athlete. Bullseye also has a high pain tolerance.

After falling from a building, many of Bullseye's bones were reinforced with strips of adamantium. This has increased his resistance to injury in unarmed combat and allows him to perform acrobatic maneuvers that would fracture ordinary human bones. Unlike Wolverine, whose adamantium was implanted using stolen and incomplete notes on the bonding process and who survived only because of his mutant healing factor, Bullseye's surgery was performed properly by Lord Dark Wind himself, and thus included the special herb treatment which prevents the body from being destroyed by the implantation.

Bullseye has a compulsive need to study his targets' histories, abilities, and relationships before engaging them. He employs this information to attempt to anticipate his opponents' movements in combat. This compulsion often crosses from the professional into the personal, such as Bullseye's obsession with Elektra. Due to a mutual head injury, Bullseye was able to sense Daredevil's presence psychically for a brief time.

Reception
Bullseye was 20th in IGN's list of the "Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time", and 35th in their list of "The Top 50 Avengers".

Other versions

Age of Apocalypse

In the 1994 arc of a different timeline called Age of Apocalypse, Bullseye is seen as one of the humans' greatest soldiers. Using a machine gun and hitting every enemy target, he fights on the side of good. He does not wear his original costume, and does not act insane.

Mutant X
A version of Bullseye appears in the Mutant X continuity, also a notorious supervillain. Bullseye shows up at the courthouse to assassinate The Brute when The Brute is on trial for murder charges. He is beaten by Elektra.

PunisherMAX

A version of Bullseye appears in Jason Aaron's run on PunisherMax starting with issue #6. This version of Bullseye is hired by the Kingpin to kill the Punisher. He does not wear a costume but has a bullseye tattooed on his forehead. Although his abilities are more realistic than in the mainstream Marvel continuity, he is still a very talented marksman and a deadly fighter, proficient with a variety of weapons. His real name is Shelton Pendergrass.

This version is psychopathic/sociopathic and shows extreme obsessive compulsive tendencies toward his targets. He is said to have gassed an entire elementary school when some children were witness to a mob hit and then killed the rest of the town with bombs at the mass funeral. Obsessing with getting inside the Punisher's head, Bullseye kills the father of a suburban family and takes the wife and children hostage, putting himself in the role of their new husband and father. He then arranges for gunmen to kill the family in front of him to recreate The Punisher's origin. He fails to feel why The Punisher was upset by this occurrence. Off-panel Bullseye repeats the same experiment with three more families.

Eventually, Bullseye realizes what was the last thing the Punisher said to his wife. This realization sends the Punisher into shock and sends a near-death Bullseye into a smiling coma. Later, Punisher finds Bullseye's coma bed and shoots him in the head.

Marvel 1602
In the Marvel 1602 universe (Earth-311), Bull's Eye appears as an assassin/first mate for the villainous Captain Wilson Fiske (The King's Pin). He is heavily tattooed around the face and arms, and possesses the mainstream Bullseye's abilities. He is sent by his captain with orders to kill Peter Parquagh aka the 1602 version of Spider-Man. He is attacked by the 1602 version of the Lizard and presumably perishes.

House of M
A version of Bullseye who appears in the House of M reality is in the employ of Wilson Fisk, alongside several other assassins. He is tasked with killing Black Cat when the Kingpin decides to reveal the Black Cat as a traitor. He also assists the Brotherhood in taking out sapien groups throughout the city, specifically targeting Shang-Chi's Dragons, killing Swordsman in the conflict. In the confrontation with the Avengers, Hawkeye shoots him in his hands.

Marvel Zombies
In Marvel Zombies, a zombified Bullseye appears alongside several other undead supervillains attacking and attempting to eat the invading Galactus.

Ultimate Marvel
The Ultimate Marvel version of Bullseye is named Benjamin Poindexter, first appearing in Ultimate Elektra. He works as the Kingpin's prime assassin until Elektra beats him in direct hand-to-hand combat. He employs disguises on his hits and dons a variation of his regular Marvel Universe incarnation's costume (sans mask) at one point. He has a bulls-eye tattoo on his forehead, similar to his mainstream counterpart's tattoo and later scarring and his movie counterpart's brand. He also has a bulls-eye tattoo on his chest over his heart. Benjamin was also alluded in the issue of Ultimate Spider-Man on the list of known cat burglars in Daily Bugle database.

Amalgam Comics
In the Amalgam Comics continuity, Bullseye is combined with DC Comics's Deadshot to create Deadeye.

Daredevil Noir
In Daredevil Noir, Bullseye is a woman named Eliza. She is Daredevil's love interest until her identity as the Bullseye Killer is revealed in issue #3. Daredevil battles her and the two fall into the sea, but Daredevil still loves her and is unable to kill her. Eliza is left on the docks unconscious and taken into police custody.

1872
During the Secret Wars storyline, a Wild West version of Bullseye resides on the Battleworld domain of the Valley of Doom. He works for Governor Roxxon alongside Elektra, Grizzly, and Otto Octavius. Bullseye and his fellow crooks were first seen having been sent by Governor Roxxon to intimidate Judge Franklin Nelson into leaving town so that the latter would not preside over Red Wolf's trial. Sheriff Steve Rogers and Red Wolf later fight Bullseye, Elektra, Grizzly, and Octavius when they are ordered by Mayor Wilson Fisk into killing Red Wolf. While Sheriff Rogers was able to incapacitate Bullseye following Octavius's death, he briefly recovers where he manages to shoot Sheriff Rogers starting to expose Mayor Fisk's corruption. When Red Wolf faces off against Bullseye, Elektra, and Grizzly again, Red Wolf manages to defeat the three villains.

Old Man Logan
In Old Man Hawkeye, a prequel to the Old Man Logan comic, Bullseye appears as a Marshal who works for the Red Skull and goes against his superior's orders to track down Hawkeye as he has missed the thrill of fighting a superhero for the last couple of decades. This version has a cybernetic eye implant that increases his aiming abilities.

In Old Man Logan's flashback, Mysterio used an illusion of Bullseye and other villains to trick Wolverine into killing his fellow X-Men. The Bullseye illusion was used on Jubilee by the time Wolverine unintentionally killed her.

What If?
In What If Daredevil Lived in Feudal Japan?, Matt "Bullseye" Murdock was a 19th-century sharpshooter and the great-great-grandfather of millionaire playboy and bestselling author Matthew Murdock. In 1857, Matt served as a cabin boy on the first American naval vessel to visit Japan. The entire crew besides Matt was killed by The Devil Who Dares, a ronin forced into service by the Giant Shogun in return for restoring his blinded son's sight. The Shogun planned to steal the ship's cargo of gunpowder and ammunition; however, Matt detonated the explosives and destroyed the ship, escaping in a lifeboat. He returned to America and served in the Civil War, becoming an expert marksman. He was hired by the Shogun as a mercenary to kill the Devil's son, who had adopted his father's identity. Realising that the Shogun was the true architect of his friend's deaths and troubled when the Shogun ordered him to kill the Devil's partner Elektra in cold blood, Bullseye stood by and allowed Devil to kill him. Bullseye became the Devil's friend and was eventually appointed the first American ambassador to Japan. His great-great-grandson wrote a best selling novel based on the Devil's adventures.

In other media

Television

Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter appears in the third season of Daredevil, portrayed by Wilson Bethel as an adult, Cameron Mann as a child, and Conor Proft as a teenager. This version is an FBI agent with diagnosed mental health issues who previously served in the U.S. Army before joining the FBI as a sniper. After drawing the Kingpin's attention while protecting the latter from assailants, he is manipulated into donning a replica Daredevil suit and carrying out hits in an attempt to both impugn the real Daredevil's reputation and neutralize threats to the Kingpin's resurgence as a crime lord. While operating as Daredevil, Poindexter battles the real Daredevil twice, forms a relationship with a civilian named Julie before the Kingpin has her killed to manipulate Poindexter further, and kills his former partner, Agent Ray Nadeem, on Vanessa Marianna's orders. Upon learning from Daredevil that he was being manipulated, Poindexter crashes the Kingpin and Marianna's wedding reception to seek revenge. He subsequently fights Daredevil and the Kingpin before the latter defeats Poindexter, breaking his back in the process. Afterwards, Poindexter undergoes an experimental surgery to restore his spine.

Film
Colin Farrell portrayed Bullseye in the 2003 film Daredevil. This version has an Irish background and his traditional costume was dropped in favor of a biker/metalhead style appearance and a shaved head with a bullseye branding on his forehead. Additionally, he primarily wields shurikens, though he also uses other small objects with as much ease. Prior to the film's release, the comic book version adopted a near-identical appearance, but has since reverted to the traditional look, retaining only the scar. Director Mark Steven Johnson credited Joe Quesada for talking him out of using the traditional costume. Additionally, Farrell, who adopted an American accent for most of his previous films, was encouraged to keep his Irish accent. He also had to read Frank Miller's Daredevil comics to understand Bullseye "because the expression on the character's faces in the comic books, and just the way they move sometimes, and the exaggerations of the character I'm playing [...] he's so over-the-top that you do draw from that. But it's not exactly a character you can do method acting for... you know, running around New York killing people with paper clips." Bullseye is hired by the Kingpin to kill Nikolas Natchios. While carrying out the hit, Bullseye fights Daredevil, who he sees as a personal challenge as the latter is the first target he ever missed, before successfully killing Nikolas along with his daughter Elektra Natchios. Daredevil and Bullseye's subsequent fight takes them to a church, where the former eventually maneuvers the latter into having his hands shot by an ESU sniper before throwing Bullseye out of a window and onto Ben Urich's car. Following this, Bullseye is hospitalized, but maintains use of his expert marksmanship skills.

Les vestiges de Roknia sont un ensemble de mégalithes situés à Roknia, dans la wilaya de Guelma, dans le Nord-Est de l'Algérie. Cet ensemble compte plus de  (on en trouve  sur tout le territoire français à titre de comparaison), disposés sur une longueur d'environ  sur le bord d'une falaise.

Description
Les mégalithes de Roknia sont constitués principalement de dolmens, formant une nécropole préhistorique.

Lors des fouilles de Jules René Bourguignat en 1868, on y a trouvé des ossements, des poteries et des bijoux, sous une forme rappelant la culture mégalithique de l'Europe Atlantique.

El diucón o monjita diucón (Pyrope pyrope), también conocido como urco o huilco, es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Tyrannidae, la única perteneciente al género Pyrope; hasta el año 2020 era incluida en el género Xolmis. Es nativo del suroeste de América del Sur.

Distribución y hábitat
Se reproduce desde el centro norte de Chile (centro de Coquimbo) y centro oeste de Argentina (Neuquén) hacia el sur hasta Tierra del Fuego. La población más sureña es completamente migratoria; la especie está presente a lo largo de la mayor parte de su zona durante todo el año, pero al norte solamente durante los inviernos australes, desde Coquimbo hasta el sur de Antofagasta en el norte de Chile. También fue registrado como vagante entre marzo y septiembre en las islas Malvinas. La subespecie P. pyrope fortis es endémica del archipiélago de Chiloé y se diferencia por su tamaño un poco mayor y colores algo más oscuros.

Esta especie es considerada bastante común en sus hábitats naturales: los bordes de bosques húmedos templados, los claros en regeneración y los huertos. Puede llegar hasta los 3050 m de altitud.

Descripción

Esta ave mide 21 cm de longitud y posee una característica cabeza grande y aplanada por arriba (lo que le da una forma cuadrada), junto con una garganta saliente. No presenta dimorfismo sexual. La intensidad del color rojo de sus ojos está directamente relacionada con la madurez sexual del individuo (entre más edad, el iris es más rojizo). Posee un plumaje gris, con garganta y partes inferiores blancas, a excepción de los flancos, los cuales son grisáceos.

Comportamiento
Aunque es de conducta solitaria generalmente, en invierno pueden juntarse varios individuos en un área reducida. Generalmente se encarama en un lugar abierto, saltando al suelo detrás de una presa, con menos frecuencia cazando en vuelo.

Alimentación
Su dieta consiste principalmente de insectos, pero también incluye frutos, principalmente en el invierno.

Vocalización
Es bastante callado, pero ocasionalmente emite un llamado suave «pit» o «juit».

Descripción original
La especie P. pyrope fue descrita por primera vez por el naturalista alemán Heinrich von Kittlitz en 1830 bajo el nombre científico Muscicapa pyrope; su localidad tipo es: «Tome, Bahía de Concepción, Chile».

El género Pyrope fue propuesto por los ornitólogos alemanes Jean Cabanis y Ferdinand Heine en 1859, con una única especie, Pyrope kittlitzi, la especie tipo, que resultó ser un sinónimo posterior de la presente, originalmente descrita por Kittlitz.

Etimología
El nombre genérico masculino y también el nombre de la especie «Pyrope» proviene del griego «purōpēs» que significa 'ojo de fuego'.

Taxonomía
Este distinto habitante de los bosques patagónicos estuvo tradicionalmente colocado en el género Xolmis, a pesar de que algunas décadas atrás ya había sido colocado en su propio género monotípico. Los estudios genéticos recientes de Ohlson et al. (2020) y Chesser et al. (2020) concluyeron que no está emparentado con los Xolmis y propusieron su retorno al género resucitado Pyrope. El Comité de Clasificación de Sudamérica (SACC) aprobó este cambio en la Propuesta No 885 de septiembre de 2020.

Subespecies
Según las clasificaciones del Congreso Ornitológico Internacional (IOC) y Clements Checklist/eBird v.2021 se reconocen dos subespecies, con su correspondiente distribución geográfica:

 Pyrope pyrope fortis (), 1946 – Isla Chiloé, centro sur de Chile.
 Pyrope pyrope pyrope (), 1830 – centro y sur de Chile y suroeste de Argentina, hacia el sur hasta Tierra del Fuego. Inviernos en el norte de Chile (de Coquimbo al sur de  Antofagasta).

Història
Els orígens com a població estable de San Javier va ser al , al voltant d'una ermita dedicada a San Francesc Xavier, en un encreuament de camins a la costa murciana.

La història de San Javier va lligada a tres elements: la terra, el mar i l'aire.

San Javier és un territori neutral entre el mar i el camp, el seu devenir històric és inseparable del conjunt de la comarca marmenorense, on els primers pobladors ja apareixien al Paleolític.

Al fons del Mar Menor es dona fe de què vaixells fenicis, grecs i romans navegaren per les seues aigües i van comerciar a les seues costes.

Amb la reconquesta cristiana, el camp riberenc marmenorense va passar a dependre del que ara és l'Ajuntament de Múrcia i va ser repoblat amb castellans, aragonesos i catalans, cognoms d'aquests en són l'origen de la toponímia de gran part dels nuclis de població d'aquesta zona.

Al  es va construir, a l'actual nucli urbà de San Javier, una ermita sota l'advocació de San Francesc Xavier, al voltant de la qual es van agrupar els habitants de les cases disperses.

San Javier es va segregar de l'Ajuntament de Múrcia el 9 de març de 1836.

The 2002 Asian Games (officially known as the 14th Asian Games) was a multi-sport event held in Busan, South Korea from September 29 to October 14, 2002. Busan was the second South Korean city to host the Games, after Seoul in 1986. A total of 6,572 athletes—4,605 men and 1,967 women—from 44 Asian National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in 38 sports divided into 419 events. The number of competing athletes was higher than the 1998 Asian Games, in which 6,544 athletes from 41 NOCs participated. It was the first time in the history of the Asian Games that all 44 member nations of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) participated in the Games. Afghanistan returned after the fall of the Taliban government in the midst of ongoing war; East Timor, newest member of the OCA made its debut; and North Korea competed for the first time in an international sporting event hosted by South Korea. Both nations marched together at the opening ceremony with a Korean Unification Flag depicting the Korean Peninsula as United Korea.

Athletes from 39 nations won at least one medal, and athletes from 27 of these nations secured at least one gold. Eight NOCs—Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Qatar, Philippines and Kyrgyzstan—improved their position in the general medal table compared to the 1998 Asian Games. China topped the medal table for the sixth consecutive time in the Asian Games, with 150 gold medals. Athletes from China won the most silver medals (84) and the most medals overall (308). Competitors from the South Korea led the bronze medal count with 84. South Korea also won 96 gold medals, 80 silver medals and a total of 260 medals, finishing second on the medal table. Japanese athletes claimed 189 medals in total (including 44 gold), earning third spot on the table.

Medal table

The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a nation is an entity represented by a NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given; they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.

A total of 1,350 medals (427 gold, 421 silver and 502 bronze) were awarded. The total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals, because two bronze medals were awarded per event in 10 sports: badminton, boxing, judo, karate, sepak takraw, squash, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, and wushu (sanshou event only).

This discrepancy is also caused by ties. In men's artistic gymnastics, a three-way tie for the gold medal in the horizontal bar meant that no silver and bronze medals were awarded; in the pommel horse, rings and parallel bars ties for first positions resulted in two golds per event, and thus no silvers were awarded; and a tie for silver in the individual all-around resulted in no bronze being awarded. In women's artistic gymnastics, ties for the gold medal in the uneven bars and floor meant that no silvers were awarded for those events. In athletics, a three-way tie in the men's high jump, and ties in the men's 3,000 m steeplechase and the women's high jump for second place meant that no bronzes were awarded for those events. In men's bowling, a tie for second place in the singles and trios resulted in two silver medals per event, and thus no bronzes were awarded; a tie for the bronze-medal position in the doubles and the team of five meant that two bronzes were awarded for each event. In softball, due to rainy weather at the final competition the ranking was decided by the results of the preliminary round and semifinals. Japan was awarded the gold medal based on its unbeaten record in the preliminary games; China and Chinese Taipei shared the silver. Those two were to have played to decide who would meet Japan in the gold-medal game. In swimming, a tie for first position in the men's 50 m freestyle resulted in two gold medals and no silver was awarded; a tie for second position in the women's 100 m freestyle meant that no bronze medal was awarded.

Changes in medal standings

On October 7, 2002, the Olympic Council of Asia announced that the bodybuilding bronze medalist in the +90 kg weight category Youssef El-Zein of Lebanon was relieved of his medal for not submitting to a drugs test. After El-Zein was disqualified, the bronze medal in the +90 kg category went to Choi Jae-Duck of South Korea (who had finished fourth).

Six days later, Japanese news agency Kyodo News reported that Indian middle distance runner Sunita Rani had tested positive for a banned substance, which was later confirmed by Lee Choon-Sup, Deputy Secretary General of the Busan Asian Games Organizing Committee; an unofficial report stated that the substance was the anabolic steroid nandrolone. Sunita had won two medals in athletics: a gold in the 1,500 m (setting an Asian Games record) and a bronze in the 5,000 m, (in which Sunita jointly bettered the Games record set by Indonesian Suprianti Sutono in Bangkok during the 1998 Asian Games with six other athletes). The Indian Chef de Mission at the Games backed Sunita—who denied using any banned drug—and asked for a "B" sample test from Bangkok, but tests were run only at the Asian Games' Doping Control Center (AGDCC) in Seoul (the laboratory accredited by the IOC). On October 16, the AGDCC confirmed the steroid nandrolone in Sunita's urine sample; as a consequence, the OCA stripped her of both medals and dismissed her Asian Games record for the 1,500 m.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) requested the intervention of the International Association of Athletics Federations and the IOC; the samples were jointly reexamined by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the IOC Sub-Commission on Doping and Biochemistry of Sport. In January 2003, the OCA announced that the IOC Medical Director had cleared Sunita of the doping charge and that appropriate action would be taken against the AGDCC. Both of Sunita's medals were reinstated on February 4, 2003, in a ceremony attended by the Secretary General of OCA Randhir Singh and the president of the IOA Suresh Kalmadi.

George Chelston Springer III, född den 19 september 1989 i New Britain i Connecticut, är en amerikansk professionell basebollspelare som spelar för Toronto Blue Jays i Major League Baseball (MLB). Springer är outfielder.

Springer har tidigare spelat för Houston Astros (2014–2020). Bland hans meriter kan nämnas att han vann World Series med Astros 2017, då han även utnämndes till matchseriens mest värdefulla spelare (MVP). Han har tagits ut till MLB:s all star-match fyra gånger och har vunnit två Silver Slugger Awards.

Karriär

College
Springer draftades av Minnesota Twins 2008 som 1 437:e spelare totalt direkt efter high school, men skrev inte på utan valde att studera vid University of Connecticut i stället och spela för skolans basebollag Connecticut Huskies, vilket han gjorde 2009–2011. Där firade han stora triumfer, bland annat utsågs han till årets nykomling (rookie) i Big East Conference 2009 och till årets spelare 2011.

Major League Baseball

Houston Astros
Springer draftades för andra gången 2011, då av Houston Astros som elfte spelare totalt och efter långa förhandlingar kom han i sista stund överens med Astros om ett kontrakt och fick en bonus på 2,52 miljoner dollar.

Springer inledde sin proffskarriär i Astros farmarklubbssystem i slutet av 2011 års säsong. 2013 utsågs han till den bästa spelaren i systemet och ett par veckor in på nästföljande säsong kallades han för första gången upp till moderklubben. Han debuterade i MLB den 16 april 2014 och spelade fantastiskt bra direkt. Bland annat utsågs han till månadens nykomling i American League i maj efter att ha slagit tio homeruns och haft 25 RBI:s, men hans säsong fick ett abrupt slut i slutet av juli då han drabbades av en muskelbristning i vänster lår. Trots att han bara spelade 78 matcher för Astros var han med sina 20 homeruns bara en från klubbrekordet för nykomlingar och han var vid tidpunkten för skadan bäst i klubben i homeruns och RBI:s (51). Hans slaggenomsnitt var dock bara 0,231 och han hade hela 114 strikeouts på 295 at bats.

Springer bidrog 2015 till att Astros gick till slutspel för första gången på tio år, där man dock förlorade i American League Division Series (ALDS) mot de blivande mästarna Kansas City Royals. Han hade under grundserien ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,276, 16 homeruns och 41 RBI:s på 102 matcher. Han var handledsskadad under i princip hela juli och augusti.

I slutet av maj 2016 fick Springer börja slå som nummer ett i slagordningen (leadoff), en roll han genast trivdes i. Han spelade alla Astros 162 matcher och hade flest plate appearances i MLB (744). Han hade ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,261 och satte personliga rekord i bland annat homeruns (29), RBI:s (82), poäng (116), hits (168), total bases (294), doubles (29), triples (fem) och walks (88).

Springer spelade mest som centerfielder 2017, efter att dessförinnan mest ha varit rightfielder. Han togs ut till MLB:s all star-match för första gången, och röstades av fansen fram att starta matchen. I slutet av juli fick han problem med vänster lår och hamnade på skadelistan. Han spelade 140 matcher under grundserien med ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,283, 34 homeruns och 85 RBI:s. Alla tre noteringarna var personliga rekord, vilket även hans slugging % (0,522) och on-base plus slugging (OPS) (0,889) var. Han var näst bäst i American League med 112 poäng. I slutspelet gick Astros hela vägen till World Series, där man ställdes mot Los Angeles Dodgers. Astros tog hem titeln, klubbens första, med 4–3 i matcher och Springer utsågs till matchseriens mest värdefulla spelare (MVP). Han blev den första spelaren någonsin att slå en homerun i fyra raka matcher i en World Series och hans totalt fem homeruns tangerade rekordet för en World Series, vilket innehades av Reggie Jackson och Chase Utley. Han satte även rekord med åtta extra-base hits och 29 total bases i en World Series. Hans slaggenomsnitt i World Series var 0,379 och han hade sju RBI:s och åtta poäng. Efter säsongen vann han sin första Silver Slugger Award.

2018 slog Springer för andra året i rad en homerun som lagets första slagman i den första matchen för säsongen, något som aldrig hänt tidigare i MLB. Den 7 maj blev han den första Astros-spelaren någonsin att ha sex hits i en match som inte gick till förlängning. Han togs ut till sin andra raka all star-match, denna gång som reserv. I början av augusti skadade han vänster tumme och missade ungefär en vecka. Springer slutade grundserien med ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,265, 22 homeruns och 71 RBI:s på 140 matcher. Han spelade bra i slutspelet, bland annat satte han nytt klubbrekord i slutspels-homeruns under karriären, men Astros åkte ut i finalen i American League, American League Championship Series (ALCS), mot Boston Red Sox.

Springer drabbades av en skada i baksidan av vänster lår i slutet av maj 2019 och var borta från spel i en månad. Trots det togs han ut till sin tredje raka all star-match, den andra från start. Totalt under grundserien spelade han 122 matcher med ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,292, 39 homeruns och 96 RBI:s. Förutom i dessa kategorier satte han personliga rekord i on-base % (0,383), slugging % (0,591) och OPS (0,974). I slutspelet gick Astros till World Series för andra gången på tre år, men det blev förlust med 3–4 i matcher mot Washington Nationals, trots Springers två homeruns. Han vann efter säsongen sin andra Silver Slugger Award.

Under den av covid-19-pandemin kraftigt förkortade grundserien 2020 spelade Springer 51 matcher med ett slaggenomsnitt på 0,265, 14 homeruns och 32 RBI:s. Astros gick till ALCS, men förlorade där mot Tampa Bay Rays. Efter säsongen blev han free agent för första gången.

Toronto Blue Jays
I januari 2021 skrev Springer på ett sexårskontrakt med Toronto Blue Jays värt 150 miljoner dollar. Han drabbades dock av en muskelbristning i sidan av överkroppen under försäsongsträningen, och när han nästan var kvitt den skadan fick han en muskelbristning i höger lår. Han kunde göra sin Blue Jays-debut först en knapp månad in på säsongen. Efter bara fyra matcher hade lårskadan förvärrats och han var sedan borta i en och en halv månad. I mitten av augusti stukade han vänster vrist och missade ytterligare ett par veckor. När han väl kunde spela gjorde han det bra och blev tre gånger under säsongen utsedd till veckans spelare i American League, något ingen lyckats med sedan Justin Verlander tio år tidigare. På grund av alla skador spelade han bara 78 matcher, men fick ändå ihop 22 homeruns och 50 RBI:s. Hans slaggenomsnitt var 0,264.

Springer togs 2022 ut till sin fjärde all star-match på fem säsonger (ingen all star-match spelades 2020), men valde att inte spela utan vila sin högra armbåge, som hade besvärat honom under säsongen.

Privatliv
Springers farfar flyttade från Panama till USA för att spela baseboll och Springers pappa spelade baseboll i Little League World Series. Springers mamma är från Puerto Rico och var gymnast. Springers systrar var duktiga softbollspelare.

När Springer växte upp höll han på Boston Red Sox.

Springer lider av stamning, något han kämpat hårt för att få bukt med.

Springer gifte sig i januari 2018 med Charlise Castro, som spelat softboll för det puertoricanska landslaget. Paret fick en son, som också fick namnet George, 2021.

La economía de Málaga es la segunda de Andalucía, alcanzando la ciudad un índice de actividad económica de 1.678 puntos, lo que la sitúa quinta en el ranking nacional de ciudades. Málaga es una ciudad de servicios, con una significativa actividad en el sector textil, y que tiene en el turismo una creciente fuente de ingresos.

Industria y comercio

Es destacable la pujanza de la ciudad en industrias de nuevas tecnologías, así como en el sector de la construcción, que conviven con industrias tradicionales como A. Lapeira Litograf Española, en la ciudad desde hace tres siglos, o las Bodegas Quitapenas, fundada en 1880.

Málaga es sede de la entidad bancaria Unicaja, y del Banco Europeo de Finanzas, de las constructoras Sando y Vera, la alimentaria Ubago, las distribuidoras minoristas de perfumería, Primor, de libros, Agapea, o de productos para mascotas, Tiendanimal, del Grupo Vértice, Aertec, Almeida viajes y otras multinacionales como Pernod Ricard España o San Miguel.

Resaltar así mismo las empresas malagueñas de moda infantil Mayoral y Charanga, ya que la moda malagueña exporta el 43% del total andaluz en el sector, o la distribuidora textil danesa Bestseller que tiene su sede para toda España en la ciudad.

Las empresas malagueñas a la cabeza en número de franquicias son Almeida Viajes (turismo), Top Digital (telefonía móvil) y Charanga, todas ellas por encima de los 200 locales. Así mismo, el auge comercial queda evidenciado por las numerosas grandes superficies comerciales -CC Vialia, Málaga Plaza, CC Rosaleda, CC Larios Centro, El Corte Inglés, Ikea Málaga, CC Málaga Nostrum, Centro de Ocio Plaza Mayor, etc.-, y empresas del sector con actividad en Málaga.

El contrato de construcción de trenes AVE en el Taller de Los Prados se inició en noviembre de 2006 y ha supuesto la modernización de las instalaciones y una importante carga de trabajo. En recientes fechas, Renfe Integria confirmó que está remodelando su estructura a nivel nacional, centralizando la gestión de sus instalaciones de Andalucía en Málaga.

Al oeste de la ciudad, junto al Taller de los Prados en la margen izquierda del río Guadalhorce se concentran los principales parques empresariales y polígonos industriales de la ciudad, entre los que podemos destacar el Polígono Industrial Guadalhorce, el más grande de Andalucía con 2,5 millones de metros cuadrados y en el que trabajan cuatro mil personas con una facturación media anual de 1000 millones de euros, el Polígono Industrial El Viso, el Polígono Industrial Alameda o el Polígono Industrial La Estrella.

La ciudad cuenta desde el 2011 con una central de ciclo combinado en el distrito 9 de Campanillas. Esta infraestructura que opera Gas Natural Fenosa vierte a la red de la provincia hasta 400 megavatios por hora de electricidad en horas punta.

Nuevas tecnologías
El proyecto Málaga Valley desarrolla políticas y líneas de acción necesarias para convertir a Málaga en una importante zona de industria tecnológica.

Algunas empresas tecnológicas malagueñas o nacionales, ubicadas principalmente en el Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía (PTA), son Uptodown, que desarrolla el tercer portal más importante del mundo para descarga de aplicaciones Android, VirusTotal, adquirida por Google en 2012,  AT4 Wireless, Tedial o el Centro de Tecnologías Ferroviarias (CTF), y entre las multinacionales destacan Oracle Corporation, con su segundo centro neurálgico en Europa tras el situado en Dublín, Fujitsu España, Accenture, TDK, Ericsson o Huawei. Así mismo, la ciudad es sede de la Asociación Internacional de Parques Tecnológicos (IASP) y de ETICOM (Asociación de Empresarios de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación de Andalucía).

Turismo

Málaga es la principal puerta de entrada a la Costa del Sol. En 1988, el número de turistas que visitaban la ciudad se vio drásticamente reducido tras la segregación del barrio de Torremolinos, al ser el principal entorno turístico de la ciudad. Sin embargo, la actividad turística se ha visto incrementada en los últimos años por la mejora de las comunicaciones, los nuevos equipamientos culturales y la renovación y el aumento de la planta hotelera, buena parte de la cual perdió la ciudad tras la ya mencionada segregación de Torremolinos.

La puesta en marcha del AVE Madrid-Málaga y la adecuación del puerto para recibir grandes cruceros ha multiplicado la llegada de turistas procedentes de la capital de España, así como de otras ciudades españolas y de cruceristas internacionales. En 2010 la terminal de cruceros de Málaga superó el medio millón de cruceristas, siendo el sexto puerto del Mediterráneo en cruceros y generando un movimiento económico en la ciudad estimado en unos 34 millones de euros.

La apertura del Museo Picasso, del Centro Pompidou, del Museo Carmen Thyssen o del CAC Málaga, entre otros museos, ha diversificado y mejorado la oferta de turismo cultural, mientras que la inauguración en 2003 del Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga ha posibilitado la llegada del denominado turismo de congresos; a lo que se suma el aumento y la renovación de la planta hotelera de la ciudad que la sitúa como la mejor valorada de España.

Mención aparte merece el turismo idiomático, que representa casi un 1% del PIB provincial, del que algo más de la mitad proviene de la ciudad de Málaga.

Sector primario

Agricultura

A pesar de la gran extensión del término municipal, la actividad agrícola y forestal se encuentra muy limitada por la presión del entorno humano. Las reducidas zonas de regadío se extienden por las vegas del Guadalhorce y el Campanillas, donde se producen sobre todo cítricos (naranjo y limonero) y otros frutales como el níspero y el aguacate, además de caña de azúcar y algunas hortalizas. Los cultivos de secano principales son el algarrobo, el almendro y el olivo, que se dan en la cuenca del Guadalmedina. Los viñedos, que antaño fueron el motor de la economía local, son escasos. El aprovechamiento de los recursos forestales es igualmente marginal y se reduce al uso del corcho de la masa forestal del parque natural Montes de Málaga, así como a la recolección de setas y plantas culinarias.

Ganadería
El municipio carece de pastos adecuados para la ganadería extensiva, por lo que la escasa ganadería es de tipo intensivo. Las cabañas más importantes son la cabría, que suma unas 12.500 cabezas, y la caballar, empleada principalmente para usos recreativos y deportivos. La ganadería en Málaga es muy importante

Pesca
El puerto de Málaga es la base de una de las cinco cofradías de pescadores que existen en la provincia. Su caladero está en el mar de Alborán, que debido a que es una zona de encuentro de las aguas mediterráneas y atlánticas, favorece la producción de plancton y por tanto muchas especies van a reproducirse y a desovar en la bahía de Málaga. Siendo una zona de reproducción, tradicionalmente se han pescado muchos inmaduros. En 1999 la flota del puerto de Málaga estaba formada por 503 embarcaciones, de las que 238 eran de arrastre y 74 de cerco, siendo el resto de otras modalidades. Las especies más capturadas son el boquerón, el carabinero, la cigala, la gamba, el jurel, el lenguado, la merluza, el pulpo y la sardina.

La pesca fluvial, que en épocas anteriores tenía lugar en el Guadalhorce, es casi inexistente debido a la contaminación del río originada por los vertidos industriales y los productos fertilizantes empleados en la vega.

Patach Eliyahu (, "Elijah opened"), also called Petihat Eliyahu HaNavi (, "The Introduction of Elijah the Prophet"), is an Aramaic, Kabbalistic discourse from the introduction to Tikunei Zohar 17a. It is named after its initial words, where it is attributed to Elijah the Prophet. Considered a foundational text of Kabbalah, Patach Eliyahu is known for enumerating and summarizing the sefirot, corresponding them to parts of the body, and describing the infiniteness and uniqueness of God.

Role in prayer
Most Sephardim recite Patach Eliyahu every morning as part of the order for the morning blessings before Shacharit, and some three times a day. Chassidim who pray according to the nusach of Arizal as compiled by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi recite it every Friday before the Minchah prayer as a preparation for Shabbat. Ashkenazim do not generally recite Patach Eliyahu in the course of prayer.

There are several purposes to reciting Patach Eliyahu. In general, it is read before a prayer to ensure that it is accepted on high in the merit of the study of the Zohar. It is also taught in the name of the Arizal that recital before every prayer helps to open the heart by meditating on the greatness of the Creator. It removes heavenly accusers, removes the forces of evil, and purifies the thoughts. Its recital reminds the petitioner that the purpose of prayer is not to change mind of Hashem, since He does not change, but to change the petitioner to become receptive to the flow of Divine blessing which is discussed in the passage. It is also used outside of regularly scheduled prayer, as-needed, for repentance, to benefit the souls of the dead, on building or dedicating a new home, and to release sparks of holiness in the world from being bound by the kelipot.

English translation
Paragraph breaks and section headings are the translator's and are not present in the original text. Square brackets [] mark explanatory material inserted by the translator.

Opening
It is traditionally begun with saying

And may the grace of our L-rd our G-d be upon us, and may He establish our handiwork, yeah, our handiwork may He establish(Psalm 90:17).
And thus the prayer begins
Elijah opened and said:

Master of the worlds! You are One, but not in number. You are He Who is Highest of the High, Most Hidden of the Hidden; no thought can grasp You at all.

Introduction to the Sefirot
You are He Who dispatched ten rectifications and called them ten sefirot, with which to conduct the hidden worlds which are not revealed and the revealed worlds. And with them You conceal Yourself from humankind. And You are He Who binds them and unifies them, and to the extent that You are within them, anyone who will separate one among these ten sefirot from its fellows is considered as if he made a separation within You.

And these ten sefirot proceed according to their order: one long [the right axis] one short [the left axis] and one intermediate [the middle axis]. And You are He who conducts them, and there is no one who conducts You, neither above, nor below, nor from any side.

You arranged garments for them, from which fly souls to mankind. And You arranged many bodies for them, which are called "bodies" compared to "garments" which cover them and are named in this arrangement:

Anatomical arrangement of the Sefirot
Chesed [Loving-kindness], the right arm. Gevurah [Might, severity], the left arm.

Tiferet [Harmony], the torso.

Netzach [Victory] and Hod [Glory] the two thighs.

Yesod [Foundation, bonding], the culmination of the body, the sign of the Holy Covenant [the circumcision].

Malchut [Kingship], the mouth; she is called the Oral Torah.

Chochmah [Wisdom], the brain; that is inner thought. Binah [Understanding], the heart; with her, the heart understands. Of these two, it is written (Deuteronomy 29:28), "The hidden things belong to Havayah Elokeinu [the L‑rd our G‑d]."

Supernal Keter [Crown] - this is the Crown of Kingship [Keter of Malchut; alt. this Keter is Malchut], and regarding her it is said (Isaiah 46:10), "From the beginning [Keter] He tells the end [Malchut]." And this is the skull of the inner tefillin; that is the 45-Name [the Divine Name "Mah", spelled ], which is the path of Atzilut.

The nature of the flow of Divine Life-Force
And this waters the Tree in its limbs and its branches, just as water waters the Tree and it grows itself with this watering.

Master of the Worlds! You are He Who is the Cause of causes and the Source of sources, Who waters the Tree with this flow. And this flow - it is like a soul to the body, because it is Life for the body.

And there is no image or likeness of You, inside or out.

And You created the Heavens and the earth, and sent out from them the sun, the moon, the stars [planets included] and the constellations. And on earth [You sent out], trees, grasses, the Garden of Eden, shrubs, beasts, animals, birds, fish and humankind - to make known through them the things on High, and how You conduct the things on High and Below, and how You make known to them the things on High from the things Below, and there is none that knows You at all.

Divine Unity and Uniqueness
And aside from You, there is no unity on High or Below. And You are acknowledged [as] the Cause of everything and the Master of everything.

And every sefirah has a known Name, and with these are the angels called. But You have no known Name, because You are He Who fills all Names. And You are the completion of them all. And as soon as You remove Yourself from them, all the Names remain like a body without a soul.

Unknowable transcendence and Divine Justice
You are He Who is Wise, but not with a knowable wisdom; You are He Who is Understanding, but not with a knowable understanding. You have no known place.

But rather, to make known Your Power and Might to humankind, and to show them how You conduct the world with Justice and Mercy, because there is Righteousness and Judgement according to the deeds of humankind.

Justice is Gevurah; Judgement, the righteous median Pillar; Holy Kingship, the righteous Scales, the two Balance-pans of Truth; the righteous Measure, the sign of the Holy Covenant. All is to show how You conduct the world, but not that You have a known righteousness that is just, nor a known judgement that is merciful, nor any of these attributes at all.

Conclusion
Blessed is Havayah forever, [alt. Draw Havayah down to the world] amen and amen!
