This is a list of fictional characters appearing in the Japanese manga series Deadman Wonderland as well as its anime adaptation.

Main characters

Ganta Igarashi

 / Woodpecker is the main protagonist of the story. He is a seemingly harmless, ordinary middle school boy until the Wretched Egg slaughters his entire class, yet spares him and infuses him with a shard of red crystal. Posing as Ganta's appointed lawyer, Tsunenaga Tamaki rigs evidence at his trial to make it look like he murdered his classmates on a whim. Ganta is sentenced to death at Deadman Wonderland. Initially confused and frightened, Ganta resolves to endure the heinous prison so he can prove his innocence and avenge his friends by tracking down and confronting their murderer, the Wretched Egg, whom Ganta refers to as the 'Red Man'. During his stay, Ganta meets a mysterious girl named Shiro and is perplexed that she seems to know him, but eventually begins to remember her as a childhood friend. While the extent of his feelings for her are unclear in the anime, he later falls in love with her in the manga. Ganta learns that the crystal implanted into his chest by the Wretched Egg has turned him into a "Deadman" empowered with a Branch of Sin, which is later christened the Ganta Gun by Senji. This Branch of Sin enables Ganta to gather variable quantities of his blood in the palm of his hand and shoot them like bullets. While advantageous as a long-range attack, due to Ganta's small size, this strategy puts him at risk of experiencing symptoms of excessive blood loss. Ganta later joins up with the Scar Chain and participates in their attempt to break out of Deadman Wonderland and expose the prison's illegal actions, but chooses to remain behind to settle his score with the Wretched Egg. Shortly after these events, learning that Shiro is the Wretched Egg, Ganta's power began to change, evident by a strange tattoo-like mark radiating out from the crystal in his chest. His Ganta Gun now emits a much more powerful blast than before, though it is much less controllable and causes him physical pain. Following the defeat of Genkaku, Ganta ends up in solitary confinement for withholding information about the escape of the surviving Scar Chain members. Eventually, the truth about Deadman Wonderland is made public. When Deadman Wonderland is shut down, Ganta is exonerated of the false charges put upon him at his retrial. With nowhere else to go after his name is cleared, Ganta ended up in Minori Garden orphanage which is run by nuns. He then joins forces with the former prison's Chief Guard Makina, Senji, and several other Deadmen, and return to the prison to locate and stop Shiro (who has now been completely "consumed" by her Wretched Egg persona). By that time, Ganta learns that his mother Sorae Igarashi was the one who turned Shiro into the Wretched Egg for the Chief Director of Deadman Wonderland and that his Branch of Sin is "key" that can unlock the Mother Goose system and unleash Shiro's full power. He also learns from Shiro that it also has the power to kill her. She also reveals that he was the one originally selected to be experimented on, but his mother chose to spare him, and experimented on Shiro instead. This led to her transformation into the "Wretched Egg". The reason she killed his classmates and implanted the gem in him is that she wants to be killed by the one she has always loved. Upon learning of Shiro's true self and intentions, he agrees to kill her, leading to their final confrontation. In the final battle, the crystals within Ganta and Shiro explode upon overusing their powers. Sometime later, Ganta visits a comatose Shiro in the hospital and later reminisces about his past with Shiro and his mother. When Ganta asks Shiro if she wants to hear how the lullaby his mother wrote for her goes on, Shiro wakes up with a smile.

Shiro

 / Wretched Egg is a mysterious albino girl and Hagire Rinichirō's test subject that Ganta encountered during his first days as an inmate: Ganta mistook her for his dead friend Mimi due to Shiro resembling her. Clothed only in a skin-tight bodysuit (though her heels and toes stick out in the foot areas) and large gloves which help conceal her heavily scarred skin, Shiro stands out among the other prisoners due to her bizarre appearance and mannerisms along with lacking a prison number. To Ganta, Shiro's manner of speaking and behavior remind him of a small child, even though Shiro is in fact a year older than him. However, Shiro possesses inhuman physical abilities and has an intimate knowledge of the prison, having lived there most of her life. From the beginning of the story it is made clear that, as children, Shiro and Ganta were close friends with the latter having no memories of his childhood, which greatly saddens and annoys Shiro. Shiro was infected with a mysterious virus that gave her abilities which was being researched by Ganta's mother Sorae Igarashi, making her the test subject instead of Ganta. Over the next several years, Shiro was subjected to barbaric experiments, including being dismembered while awake, all in an effort to force her body and the virus inside it to "evolve" into the first Deadman.

The trauma of this torturous treatment caused Shiro become a homicidal maniac capable of mass slaughter and causing an earthquake in Tokyo, pretending to have developed a dissociative identity disorder with her second personality labeled as the Wretched Egg. Unaware of Shiro's alter ego when she framed him after butchering his class, Ganta knew her as the "Red Man" due to basing her heavy masculine full body clothing after the Aceman character she and Ganta watched and played with as children. Shiro is placed within Deadman Wonderland in comfortable quarters due to being the "source" of the Branches of Sin, the Mother Goose mainframe playing a lullaby audible only to Shiro in order to repress her bloodlust. Eventually revealing her feelings of love and resentment for Ganta, Shiro admits to she lying about having multiple personalities once the Mother Goose system's lullaby no longer represses her. She also explains that orchestrated Ganta's incarceration and Blood of Sin implant so he can kill her rather than continue living as a Deadman. In the final battle, the crystals within Ganta and Shiro explode upon overusing their powers with Shiro ending up in a coma before she awakens in the final scene.

Deadman Wonderland staff

Rinichirō Hagire

 is the main antagonist of the series. He is the one who created Deadman Wonderland and orchestrated the creation of Shiro's Wretched Egg persona in the experiments he conducted with Sorae Igarashi back when he was a doctor at a Medical Center. After the Great Tokyo earthquake, Hagire used the Branch of Sin of Chan and En to enter the body of the man who would become the Director of Deadman Wonderland so he can gather Deadmen for further experimentation with Carnival Corpse as a means to select a new stronger body to occupy. As the story opens, Hagire's vessel become terminally ill with Tsunenaga Tamaki running the prison with the hope that what he presume to be his father dies so he can reign Deadman Wonderland unopposed. However, presumed to have been killed by the Wretched Egg, Hagire transferred his consciousness into the body of Toto and proceeded to undermine his son's agenda. Following Hagire's "death," Tamaki salvaged his head and used it for his personal bowling game. As a result, Hagire gained Toto's Love Labyrinth ability and uses it to find the ideal Deadman whose Branch of Sin can unlock the Mother Goose system in order to release the Wretched Egg's full powers to recreate the events of the Great Tokyo earthquake. When Tamaki's plans were thwarted, Hagire revealed himself in Toto's body much to the dismay of Tamaki who then kills himself claiming that Deadman Wonderland is his "game." Afterwards, Hagire escapes deep into Deadman Wonderland with Shiro as its prison part closes. Finding Ganta to be the ideal specimen yet unable to bypass the Mother Goose system's lock via Toto's ability, Hagire attempts to get transferred into the boy's body when Senji manages to arrive in time to stop it. He is eventually defeated and killed by Ganta shortly after the Mother Goose system was unlocked.

Tsunenaga Tamaki

 is a major antagonist of the first half of the story. He is the Chief Warden and de facto tyrant of Deadman Wonderland with a fox or weasel-like appearance who also serves as the prison's promoter. In the anime, he is the son of the Prison Director whom Rinichirō Hagire transferred his being into. Under his calm, almost idiotic attitude, he is something of a sadist with connections to the Japanese government and is not above butchering dozens of prisoners every day for the sole purpose of profit, science and mainly for his own twisted amusement. Before the Great Tokyo earthquake, Tamaki was an indifferent otaku and a recluse who secluded himself in his room to play video games on his computer without a care. He went insane when the earthquake destroyed his computer and badly injured his mother (who Tamaki let die because he was too busy mourning his computer), which led to him engineer Deadman Wonderland as a gigantic game to keep playing as he did before the earthquake. He posed as a lawyer to rig evidence that would get Ganta sentenced to Deadman Wonderland. In the anime, he posed as a judge at Minatsuki's trial to get her sent to Deadman Wonderland. When it came to Ganta's first fight in the Carnival Corpse, Tamaki revealed to Ganta that he rigged the evidence at his trial and even tortures him by showing him footage of the different Carnival Corpse fights. While running Deadman Wonderland, Tamaki devoted much of his time with studying and experimenting with the Branch of Sin, invented the Worm Eater which he gave to the Undertakers to neutralize the Deadman's Branch of Sin, received funding from Major Aohi for the Forgeries, and made different plans to kill the Wretched Egg. Ultimately, Tamaki's schemes fall apart thanks to Ganta, his allies, and Makina. Tamaki and those present are then confronted by Toto (now a vessel of Rinichirō Hagire). Refusing to accept himself as Hagire's pawn, Tamaki commits suicide by shooting himself in the head as an ultimate assurance (but mostly delusion) that this was his, and only his, game.

Makina

 is a harsh and cold chief of the prison guards. She serves as the chief enforcer which does not hesitate in punishing, often brutally, the prison's population. Before Deadman Wonderland, Makina was in the Special Forces. Known for her demeanor and her large breasts (G-cup size), Makina is infamous for carrying a decorated sword on her person at all times, and also for using it to cut whoever breaks the prison's rules (like she did when Yō Takami "stole" antidote candy from Ganta and she cut him with her sword when he wouldn't return it), acts that almost always result in bloodshed. When Ganta commented that Makina was insane after she slashed Yō Takami, Makina quotes that reality is made to be unfair and unjust. Despite her brutality, Makina is far less twisted than Tamaki (whom she is greatly suspicious of) especially after discovering that her authority is limited. Eventually, after learning Tamaki's agenda, Makina forfeits her position to hunt him down with the aid of some allies in Ganta and the other Deadmen. When it came to Makina hunting for Tamaki, she had previously met Karako after her escape and had the Worm Eater technology embedded in her sword. After the suicide of Tamaki, she came into possession of the data regarding the Wretched Egg, the Deadmen, and the Forgeries and then oversaw the shutdown of Deadman Wonderland's prison area. When it came time to confront the Wretched Egg after an earlier military attack failed that had her recuperating in a wheelchair, Makina led the Deadmen in a fight against the Wretched Egg and Hagire.

Kyoko Kasuga

Kyoko Kasuga is a prison guard in Deadman Wonderland who was the personal assistant of Makina. She is implied to be a lesbian or bisexual with an apparent large crush on Makina. Though it is unknown whether Makina reciprocates or is even aware of her feelings, she apparently has strong feelings of trust towards Kyōko. Enough to bring her along while searching for top secret information relating to G-Block. Kyōko is occasionally used as a comic relief character.

Rei Takashima

Dr. Rei Takashima is a physician who works at Deadman Wonderland. She was charged with the duty of removing the specific parts of the Deadmen that lose in Carnival Corpse and had survived (she removes the parts without applying anesthetic to the Deadman) where she shows off a sadistic side when doing it as seen when she surgically removed Senji's right eye. Of course Rei also becomes enraged when she doesn't get to remove a non-regenerative organ as seen when Nagi had secretly rigged the macabre slot machine so that she would have to cut off Minatsuki's hair. Rei was the one who told Ganta about the live-saving candy after Tamaki collapsed the tower on Ganta and Rei patched Ganta up. After Senji was defeated by Ganta, Rei showed off her sadistic side when she was ordered to remove Senji's right eye while even licking her lips at the same time. Rei later helped Tamaki with his experiment that involved the Forgeries where she gave Azami Midō her Snake Branch of Sin, making her a Forgery. She even experimented on Ganta after Tamaki had the Forgeries bring Ganta to him. While in her laboratory near the end of the "Revolt Arc," Rei is killed by an unknown being (most likely the Wretched Egg).

Chan
En

 are Hagire's twin albino bodyguards, respectively male and female, who are like-minded and see Hagire as a father figure that they cherish deeply to the point of killing anyone who insults him. The two, however, were forced to make an exception in Tamaki when he becomes the new Chief Director of Deadman Wonderland and celebrated his promotion by using the head of the previous director, Hagire's previous body, as a bowling ball. The twins both share the Branch of Sin known as Hollow Swallow, a means that Hagire uses to transfer his conscious mind into a new body while erasing the victim's mind. When the two attempt to transfer Hagire into Ganta, the process is interrupted by Senji who kills them with an attack meant for Hagire.

They are named after Chang and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese Twins.

Necro Macro
The Necro Macro is a robot that was built in Deadman Wonderland. The Necro Macros are used for battling and capturing powerful prisoners such as Deadmen. A Necro Macro was once used to capture Senji Kiyomasa with 24 prisoners killed in the process. A Necro Macro was used to capture Ganta (who was seen with Shiro and Yō at the time). The Necro Macro followed Ganta, Shiro, and Yō into the ventilation system and was about to fire at Ganta when Yō ripped off one of the wires around its neck, causing the Necro Macro having a short circuit. It recovered and stopped the group again at the entrance of G Ward. It was about to fire its cannon at Ganta and the others when Shiro kicked the robot and sent it flying. It came back and grabbed Shiro. But then, strings of blood came from the entrance and destroyed the Necro Macro. It appears that Senji broke out and saved Ganta. He also did it to get even to the Necro Macro. A second Necro Macro model was seen when Scar Chain triggered the floor sensors on their way to the elevator. This model can shoot highly corrosive acidic fluids. It spat some acid at Kōmoto and then ran over him. The Necro Macro was destroyed by Karako.

Deadman Wonderland inmates

Kiyomasa Senji

 / Crow is the first Deadman (other than Shiro) that Ganta encounters while held as an inmate in Deadman Wonderland. He is a tall and powerfully built man who revels in battle, allowing him to enjoy prison life and Carnival Corpse matches. Often, Senji gets flustered or starts blushing whenever women with a big breast size, nice body, etc. are around him, telling them to "Put some clothes on!" He especially acts this way towards Shiro regarding her skin tight body suit. His Branch of Sin power is the Crow Claws, creating scythe blades on his forearms to attack at a speed of sound he dubs Invisible Black. Originally a police officer, less crazy at that time, Senji used his Branch of Sin to fight criminals, encountering a fellow Deadman named Keigo Ugachi and later Ikazuchi Akatsuki. Losing his teammates Shindō, Momoi, Kan and his mentor Domon to Akatsuki before killing him, Senji had first letters of his teammates' names tattooed on the right side of his forehead in memory of them. At some point after his fight with Ikazuchi Akatsuki, Senji was remanded to Deadman Wonderland. Being Ganta's first opponent, he apparently dominates their entire battle until Ganta suddenly defeats him. Though losing his right eye in the penalty game and now wearing a black eyepatch, Senji respected Ganta since their fight and supported him as a rival, demanding of him that he not be defeated by anyone before rematch. When it came to the "Revolt Arc," Senji helps Ganta in his fight against the Forgeries where he managed to defeat Ikazuchi Akatsuki. After being released from Deadman Wonderland, Senji tries to apply for a job at a corporation. Senji joins forces with Makina to help destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg. In the process, Senji saves Ganta from Hagire by killing off Chen and En at the cost of his right arm. Some time later after Ganta's fight with the Wretched Egg, Senji was seen in the mountains practicing some mountain climbing with an unnamed Deadman.

Yō Takami

, a habitual thief and an informant to Tamaki, Yō was hired to watch over Ganta in return of large amounts for Cast Points. Though apparently friendly and polite, in truth he is ruthless, scheming and somewhat paranoid, given his position as a spy for the prison's staff. A rarity among the prison population, Yō willingly became a prisoner of Deadman Wonderland in hopes of finding his sister Minatsuki and buying her freedom with the accumulated Cast Points he got from Tamaki. Yō Takami once tried to steal Ganta's life-saving candy only to be caught by Makina who decided to overlook it if he gives the candy back. When Yō refused, Makina slashed him. He cares deeply about his sister Minatsuki so much so that he is often thought of suffering from a sister complex much to Minatsuki's disgust. Ganta and Yō eventually manage to forge an estranged relationship. When he confronted Tamaki with a deal to let him use Cast Points to get his sister pardoned from Deadman Wonderland, Tamaki states that Cast Points don't work that way. Before Yō can retaliate, he is badly wounded by Azumu Genkaku who then dropped his body to where Nagi and Karako were meeting with Ganta. Minatsuki later tended to Yō's wounds. After being released from Deadman Wonderland, Yō is later offered to help Makina destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg.

Minatsuki Takami

 / Hummingbird is Yō Takami's younger sister, a Deadman whose mind was warped on the day of the Great Tokyo earthquake when her mother died after she left Minatsuki to die. Since then, Minatsuki became a sociopathic liar who gets sexually aroused from others' suffering as she later developed the Branch of Sin called Whip Wing, taking the form of blood-made whips which extend from her hair and can deliver immensely quick blows or restrain her opponent. Having manipulated Yō to think that their father was physically abusing her, Minatsuki eventually murders him with her powers. Ending up at G Block soon after, Minatsuki made herself appear as an extremely shy and gentle girl to mask her true nature and lower opponents' guard until she fights them in Carnival Corpse. She lost more than once while fighting in the Carnival Corpse, losing half of her stomach and a kidney. Encountering Ganta with knowledge that he is to be her opponent, Minatsuki played on his sympathy to catch him off guard when their match begins. Though intending to play Yō when he appears during the match, Minatsuki is shocked to learn that her brother knows the truth about her killing their father as she uses him as a shield before Ganta defeats her using the ricochet from his shots followed by a head-butt. After the fight, Minatsuki is taken to the medical care prior to Hagire's fight with Wretched Egg nearly causing Minatsuki to get crushed by class closet when Yō risks his well-being to save her after everything she had done to him. When it came to the penalty, the slot machine was rigged by Nagi and some Scar Chain members so she would only have her hair cut off much to the dismay of Dr. Rei Takashima (who disliked removing regenerating organs). Minatsuki reconciled with Yō, though she still violently lashes out on occasion. Minatsuki later tended to Yō after he was attacked by Azumu Genkaku. When it came to the "Revolt Arc," Minatsuki is among the Deadmen that helps Ganta in his fight with the Forgeries. She and Chaplin fight against Uzume Sumeragi and managed to defeat her. After being released from Deadman Wonderland, Minatsuki is transferred into a regular prison before later offering to help Makina destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg.

Toto Sakigami

 / Mockingbird is a mysterious Deadman feared even by Senji, Toto is a mysterious boy dressed similarly to Shiro and is the strongest Deadman as well as the most psychotic. Prior to his imprisonment, Toto had an older sister who had died protecting him in the big earthquake. His power, Love Labyrinth, allows him to copy and use the abilities of other Deadmen. Toto is said to have been the only person to have fought the Wretched Egg and lived. But in reality, Toto's body is occupied by Hagire, pretending to be Toto until he reveals himself to Tamaki. Toto dies when Hagire is killed by Ganta.

Masaru "Chaplin" Sukegawa
 / Peacock is an announcer for most of the "Carnival Corpse" duels. She is often found around Minatsuki, Itadaki "Masu" Kazuya, and Hitara. Her card is Peacock and her Branch of Sin Peacock Peak allows her to create what appear to be bramble-like constructs that can be used to trap and pierce opponents. Before being imprisoned, she was a salaryman who awoke to her Deadman powers after finding her lover with a woman, she then broke down and killed her lover with one of her thorns. She is shown as having been presenting as male before the murder, indicating that she transitioned whilst at Deadman Wonderland. Ganta first encountered her in the G Block at the time when Senji was having his right eye surgically removed by Rei Takashima. When it came to the "Revolt Arc," Chaplin is among the Deadmen that helps Ganta in his fight with the Forgeries. She and Minatsuki fight against Uzume Sumeragi and managed to defeat her. After being released from Deadman Wonderland, she is put into a regular prison. Later, she joins forces with Makina to help destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg. Chaplin only appears in the manga.

Idaki Hitara
 / Condor is an old man who always claims to be talking to his daughter through his distinctive headset. He wears a headband over his eyes and underneath his headset. As we learn through a flashback, Hitara was a teacher whose daughter Yuki (once a beautiful TV starlet) was horribly disfigured during the Great Tokyo earthquake and committed suicide by setting herself on fire. Hirata claimed responsibility for the fact and was thus imprisoned. His Branch of Sin is called Condor Candle and enables him to ignite his blood into flames "that can burn ice." When it came to the "Revolt Arc," Hitara is among the Deadmen that helps Ganta in his fight with the Forgeries. His complete Forgery opponent's were a pair of 30-year-old twins who appeared in the form of toddlers. The twins "sleep inducing" blood poison did not seem to affect Hitara, and he was able to finish them off, after spreading his blood all around them during a seemingly losing battle. After being released from Deadman Wonderland, Idaki visited his daughter's grave telling her that it's a beautiful day. Idaki joins forces with Makina to help destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg. Hitara only appears in the manga.

Itadaki Kazuya

Itadaki Kazuya is a large Deadman who is known for eating a lot and eating anything that wasn't food. It wasn't revealed how Itadaki ended up in Deadman Wonderland. He was first seen welcoming Ganta to G-Ward following Senji's defeat and was unbothered when Senji's right eye was surgically removed. He once tried to eat Minatsuki's flowers only for Ganta to intervene and offer up his breakfast. After Deadman Wonderland was exposed and shut down, Itadaki was transferred to a normal prison where he was granted a re-trial. Itadaki was seen eating his urinal and the cell walls.

Kōzuji Kazumasa

Kōzuji Kazumasa is a mixed martial artist and an inmate at Deadman Wonderland. In the anime, his history stated that he was sentenced to Deadman Wonderland for attacking an actress on a variety show when she wouldn't give him her E-Mail. Ganta first encounters him in the cafeteria where he forces him to laugh at the prisoner he was harassing. Ganta encountered him again at the Dog Race where he tried to threaten Shiro and nearly attacked Ganta until Makina stops them. During the whole Dog Race, he tried hard to stay alive and win by cheating and tells his minions to kill Ganta, which they failed. During the final round, it was him, Ganta, Shiro and other prisoners. He tries a direct attack on Ganta, but fails after the panels collapsed. While falling, he kicks the ball from Ganta's hands and throws a knife at him which Shiro blocks with her body. In the manga, Kōzuji survived the fall at the end with minor wounds. He was approached by Makina who states her knowledge of how he cheated and gives him a choice between either being stabbed in the heart by Makina using his own knife on him or serving a year in solitary confinement. Kōzuji chooses solitary confinement. When Deadman Wonderland was exposed and shut down, Kōzuji was among the prisoners that were transferred to another prison. In the anime, Kōzuji dies upon getting impaled by the spikes below the platform.

Yosuga Mitsuzaki
 is a mysterious girl who claims to have known and loved Toto before he "changed." While not actually appearing until after its closing, she is an inmate at Deadman Wonderland. After the Great Tokyo earthquake, Yosuga was arrested for a crime that she didn't commit and was sentenced to Deadman Wonderland. She seems to doubt herself repeatedly and speaks in third person. Later, it is shown that she was friends with Toto before he was taken over by Rinichirō Hagire. Although they are not related and he is older than Mitsuzaki, Toto refers to her as his older sister. Mitsuzaki and Toto promised that they would be the ones to kill each other. Due to this, Mitsuzaki saves Toto after he is defeated by Ganta and attempts to revive him so that she may "Shoot him full of holes." She later defends him using her Branch of Sin, a shield, before Hagire kills her. Mitsuzaki is revealed to be 17, one year younger than Toto. Mitsuzaki only appears in the manga.

Scar Chain
 is a prison gang consisting of Deadmen that opposes Tamaki's corruption and plan to leak the truth to the rest of the world. They believe in each individual's own personal definition of freedom. Ganta later sided with them to help expose the prison. However, only three managed to escape Deadman Wonderland while most of the others were killed off by the Undertakers.

Nagi Kengamine

 / Owl is the leader of Scar Chain, possessing the Branch of Sin called Bloodshot Eyes of the Owl which allows him to generate blood spheres that detonate with tremendous force. Before he formed Scar Chain, he had a relationship with a female Deadman while in G Block. They eventually were parents-to-be before being put into a Carnival Corpse against each other where he pleaded with Tamaki to not let any harm come to her if anything happened to him. Kengamine intentionally lost due to his lover being pregnant at the time. His defeat gave way to his Penalty Game in which he lost his vocal cords. In a show of cruelty, Tamaki went back on his deal with Nagi and had Genkaku kill Nagi's lover so as to punish his dishonesty. This act prompted Nagi to slaughter the Undertakers almost to the last man in a fit of bloody rage. Due to the loss of his vocal cords, Nagi speaks through a voice box. Two years later, he formed Scar Chain with Karako to help reach his own hope of holding his child, whom he believes to be alive on the surface. While recruiting Ganta to his group, Nagi revealed to Ganta that he had the slot machine rigged so that Minatsuki Takami would only have some of her hair cut off in the Penalty Game. Later while being converted into an Undertaker by Genkaku, Nagi is forced to accept that his child had actually died the day his wife was, preserved with other Deadmen body parts as a valuable specimen due to being the offspring of two Deadmen. Acknowledging his hope of seeing his child again as a mere delusion that kept him sane, Nagi loses his mind and goes on a bloody rampage, killing friend and foe alike until Ganta and Karako snap him out of his despair prior to him being mortally wounded by a disappointed Genkaku. However, helping Ganta defeat Genkaku, Nagi gives Ganta his candy before dying.

Karako Koshio

 / Gamefowl is the second-in-command of Scar Chain who is secretly in love with Nagi and fights for his sake. She originally worked as a nurse at a hospital. At some point, Karako ended up in Deadman Wonderland. She is able to use her Branch of Sin called Fists of Blood to coat part of or all of her body in blood, reinforcing her natural strength and durability. While Ganta stays behind to protect her friends, Karako escapes with what remained of Scar Chain from Deadman Wonderland after Nagi's death with her attempt to expose Deadman Wonderland with footage of the Deadmen worsening matters for those still trapped there. She later returns with Makina to help destroy/suppress the Wretched Egg.

Bundō Rokuro

 is a chief of intelligence of Scar Chain and also a Deadman, Rokuro was actually a spy and double agent for Tamaki and the Undertakers whose unnamed Branch of Sin enables him to make a blood shield. Rokuro has an apathetic personality with a manic demeanor bordering on psychosis that draws from his obsession of predicting the probability of different outcomes of courses of events that earned him the moniker "human calculator". Also skilled in digital manipulation, Rokuro was the one who helped Tamaki frame Ganta at his trial by faking a video of Ganta confessing the massacre. Though Rokuro revealed his betrayal during Scar Chain's plan to escape Deadman Wonderland, his attempts to kill the group with a bomb disguised as a data chip failed. When Gazuchi Mōzuri and Shinagaw Dōkoku are slain by Senji Kiyomasa before they can kill Ganta, he is forced to reveal what he knew about the Undertakers' location. After Deadman Wonderland closes, Rokuro was among the prisoners that were transferred to another prison.

Miyako

Miyako is a short elderly Deadman who is a member of Scar Chain. When Scar Chain was planning on finding possible recruits after the first breakout attempt fails, Miyako was the one who suggested that they recruit the Deadman with the codename "Albatross" only for Karako to mention that he is too old. Following Genkaku's defeat, Miyako's fate was not shown as she was not seen amongst Genkaku's victims or escaping with the surviving members of Scar Chain.

The  (AKA Anti-Deadmen Corps) are Tsunenaga Tamaki's special law enforcement group, his personal secret police composed of some of the worst criminals in Deadman Wonderland that are beyond redemption and are conditioned to become "Anti-Deadmen" with any compassion and morality purged from their minds. The Undertakers possess technology called Worm Eater (which was invented by Tsunenaga Tamaki) that allows them to nullify a Deadman's Branch of Sin ability such that any blood constructs created by Deadmen will revert to normal blood upon contact with their weapons and armor. After Karako and what remained of Scar Chain escaped with some of the Worm Eater technology along with Genkaku slaughtering most of the Undertakers before his defeat at the hands of Ganta, Tamaki replaced the Undertakers with the Forgeries.

Azuma Genkaku

 is the leader of the 1st Undertaker Platoon, a self-proclaimed "Super Monk" (Uber Monk in English dub) who wields an electric guitar that can split into two machine guns. Before arriving to Deadman Wonderland, Genkaku lived at Buddhist Temple where he suffered various forms of severe physical and sexual abuse from other monks-in-training (including being repeatedly gang-raped), slaughtering his tormentors during the earthquake's aftermath after reaching the conclusion that salvation is in death, he then fashioned a macabre statue of Buddha from their bodies as a symbol of his new belief. Two years before the main storyline, Genkaku murdered Nagi's wife on Tamaki's orders, developing an interest in Nagi after he slaughtered his twenty-two subordinates soon after he killed Nagi's wife. Though getting Nagi into becoming a mindless monster, Genkaku is mortified of his work undone and proceeds to slaughter all his men before eventually being hit by Ganta's Ganbare Gun with the help of Nagi, ending up in a critical comatose state. At Ganta's retrial, it is revealed that Genkaku is still in a coma and in critical condition.

Gazuchi Mōzuri

 is the leader of the 2nd Undertaker Platoon, a wild man abandoned by his mother and raised by bears. During his time in the woods, he befriended Shinagawa Dōkoku who assisted Gazuchi in the killings before they were caught. He and Shinagawa were sentenced to Deadman Wonderland for the murder of several hunters and campers at age ten. Tamaki enlisted both of them to be in the Undertakers. In the end when sent to Scar Chain's base to hold the group hostage, Gazuchi was easily disemboweled by Senji when he was about to kill Ganta.

Shinagawa Dōkoku

 is a snake-like serial killer who was Gazuchi's second-in-command. They formed a mutual partnership in their earlier life when he skinned women to make dresses from their hair and scalps while aiding Gazuchi in his killing. They were eventually caught and sentenced to Deadman Wonderland where Tamaki ended up enlisting them to be in the Undertakers. In the end when sent to Scar Chain's base to hold the group hostage, Shinagawa was easily disemboweled by Senji when he and Gazuchi were about to kill Ganta.

Hibana Daida

 is the leader of the 3rd Undertaker Platoon, a seemingly polite and well-mannered young girl who was warped by the abuse heaped upon her by her mother, such as suspending her in the air with hooks embedded in her skin and making her solve complex math problems or problems dealing with theoretical physics, for minor things such as bed wetting and vomiting as a form of behavior modification. However, it turned Hibana into a psychopath who punishes bad people via inhuman torture. She ended up in Deadman Wonderland after she tortured and dismembered several boys in her kindergarten class for flipping her skirt, burying them in a shallow grave in the school's garden. It is later discovered that her mother had been dead for some time before the incident, having hanged herself and that Hibana was keeping her alive in her mind. Despite her diminutive size, she is absurdly strong and wields a massive, sectioned sword longer than she is tall. Though she aided Genkaku in his plans, Hibana became disturbed by his methods and ran away as he turns on her and their men. However, Hibana meets her end when killed by Toto as he used his newly gained Crow Claws to slice her in self-defense.

Undertaker Foot Soldiers
The Undertaker Foot Soldiers are the full-armored foot soldier of the Undertakers armed with anti-Deadman mundane weaponry such as blades and firearms. The foot soldiers of the Undertakers are shown to be not only murderous, but completely immoral as shown when they attempted to gang-rape Shiro and Karako when they were both captured by Azuma Genkaku. Most of the Undertaker Foot Soldiers were killed by either members of Scar Chain or killed when Azumu Genkaku opened fire on them.

Forgeries
The Forgeries are artificial Deadman that were created by Tsunenaga Tamaki in order to inspire fear in the people outside of Deadman Wonderland as well as defeating the Wretched Egg. At the time, Deadman Wonderland's Carnival Corpse was seen as inhumane. But by putting his Forgeries into the ring, Tamaki starts to convince people that Deadmen are monsters that deserve to be treated the way they currently are if not worse. All Forgeries wear special masks that keep them hypnotized in a state of euphoria, allowing them to withstand even the most grievous injuries or obey the most irrational orders without a thought. Tamaki's Forgery project was funded by Major Aohi and Tamaki was assisted in their creation by Rei Takashima. These man-made Deadmen have the unique ability to create large snake-like tendrils out of their blood, to be forced out of their arms where they receive this ability with a special poison called Snake. Any bodily contact with the snakes will cause one's muscles to swell up to the point where, if touched or left for a long period of time, they will burst. It has been seen that the swelling can be cut off at early stages, thus preventing more fatal injuries. It is unclear how Tamaki gave them powers without Deadman Worms. The most likely theory is that he studied what the Deadman Worms did to the human body and copied it. When Deadman Wonderland was exposed and shut down, the bodies of the Forgeries were confiscated by the Japanese government to be buried. Due to the anime stopping production before the Revolt Arc, the Forgeries only appeared in the manga.

Complete Forgeries
The Complete Forgeries are Forgeries who have poison that has evolved. They are supposed to be stronger than even the Deadmen. They are eventually defeated by Ganta, Senji, Minatsuki, Chaplin, and Hitara.

Shishito Madoka
Shishito Madoka is the leader of the Forgeries' First Unit and is the strongest of the Complete Forgeries. His father had died in the Great Tokyo earthquake and he was severely bullied as a child. It was at that time that he decided that he should be unhappy to make others happy. It is unknown why he was sent to Deadman Wonderland since he didn't have a Branch of Sin to begin with. When he became a Complete Forgery, Shishito gained the Jūshin Shinjū ability which enables his blood to become claws where its poison affects his opponent's senses. Shishito first appeared where he pretended to be shy upon encountering Ganta while hiding his intent to torture and kill him. When Madoka discovers Shiro's life means more to Ganta than his own, he decides to torture Shiro in an iron maiden. Fortunately, Ganta and Shiro are able to defeat him in a combined attack.

Ikazuchi Akatsuki

Ikazuchi Akatsuki is a Complete Forgery who was formerly assigned to the First Unit. He didn't appear in the anime, but he was in the OVA. After the Great Tokyo earthquake, Ikazuchi wandered the ruins of Tokyo and joined the thugs into committing vandalism, rape, and so on. He later had a run in with Senji Kiyomasa (who was still a police officer at the time). Ikazuchi gathered the other criminals and challenged him to a fight. Sometime later, Ikazuchi was apprehended and incarcerated in Deadman Wonderland where Tamaki chose him to be one of his First Unit Forgeries. His Rari Ranshin ability enables him to form a scorpion-like tail from his blood where anyone injected with it gets affected by a poison that is similar to doping. Ikazuchi was later killed by Senji.

Azami Midō
 is a resident of C Block. Azami Midō is one of the first inmates that Ganta meets and later becomes a friend of Ganta. She owns a pet armadillo named Kincho. Although she came off as rude in her first appearance, she was still very kind when she gave Ganta half of her sandwich after teaching him about Cast Points, scolding him because he didn't read the rule book. There are times when she can be meek, but she seems quick to anger if one pushes the right buttons. After Azami met Ganta, Makina used her as a spy upon snooping through Tamaki's stuff. During her mission in G-Ward, she became a Forgery and is forced to fight as Tamaki bids. Azami was first seen as a Forgery killing an unnamed Deadman in the Carnival Corpse with her Snake ability. Ganta manages to help Azami regain her mentality that the poison masks stole from her. After a battle with Madoka, she stays behind with Shiro while Ganta goes on ahead. However, Hagire (in possession of Toto's body) decapitates Azami when she refuses to help him and Wretched Egg find Ganta. Following Azami's death, Kincho ends up in Yō Takami's custody.

Ichi and Hajime Mikawa
Ichi and Hajime Mikawa are identical twins in the Complete Forgeries that are members of the First Unit and are also known as Snake Eyes. They appear to be children, but are actually adults trapped in children bodies. In their early life, Ichi and Hajime killed people who brought them food. When they were apprehended, they told the court that they did nothing wrong. Upon Ichi and Hajime being remanded to Deadman Wonderland, Tamaki selected them to become Complete Forgeries. Their Sōrin Musō ability enables them to form screws from their blood that affect anyone hit with them with a sleeping poison. Ichi and Hajime faced off against Idaki Hitara. At first, it looked like Idaki was being overwhelmed by Ichi and Hajime's powers. It turned out that Idaki was spreading his blood around the area which he used to kill them with his "Condor Candle" move.

Uzume Sumeragi
Uzume Sumeragi is a Complete Forgery in the First Unit. It wasn't revealed why she was sent to Deadman Wonderland. When Uzume became a Complete Forgery, she gained the butterfly-themed Nanairo Chōchō ability that enables anyone hit by it to be affected by a hallucinative poison. She first appears together with Ikazuchi Akatsuki and Ichi and Hajime Mikawa where they were charged with the duty of stopping Ganta from getting to the controlling device. She was about to attack Ganta when they were all stopped by Minatsuki's Whip Wing. Chaplin and Senji also appear. Ganta eventually leaves the Forgeries to them and leaves. Uzume is attacked by Minatsuki Takami and Chaplin Sukegawa. Uzume demonstrated the ability to use her poison that caused Minatsuki and Chaplin to hallucinate. Minatsuki and Chaplin managed to overcome the poison and defeat her. Uzume is then shown unconscious and heavily wounded (Minatsuki commented that her face became ugly), but it appears that she survived unlike the other forgeries.

Other characters

Domon

Appearing in the OVA, Domon is a police officer that Senji Kiyomasu worked for following the Great Tokyo earthquake. He was killed in battle against Ikazuchi Akatsuki.

Sorae Igarashi
Sorae Igarashi is a cold and callous doctor who is Ganta's mother, having intentionally conceived him for human experimentation to create the first Deadman. But her maternal instincts caused her to replace the newborn with another baby, Shiro. While she despised herself for the horrific things she and Hagire put Shiro through while developing the Mother Goose system to keep Shiro's bloodlust in check, she was a loving mother towards both her son and Shiro. Sorae eventually shot herself in the head when she could no longer bear the guilt of turning Shiro into a monster and unable to end the girl's life, but developed the means to kill Shiro which end up in Ganta's possession. In the anime, Ganta explains that his mother had died ten years before going into Deadman Wonderland.

Major Aohi

Major Aohi is in the National Defense Ministry. He was Tsunenaga Tamaki's silent partner in his creation of the Forgeries. Major Aohi first appears in the Scar Chain arc where he arrives to inspect Deadman Wonderland. While the other inspectors are going through Deadman Wonderland, Major Aohi met with Tamaki to discuss about the Forgeries. Tamaki gives Aohi feedback about the manufacture saying they're in the middle of researching the Nameless Worm. Aohi tells him he doesn't want uncontrollable soldiers to which Tamaki replies that he can't back down now. Aohi concludes by saying that the budget stays the same. Sometime after Deadman Wonderland was shut down, Major Aohi allowed Makina to use his submarine Walfisch in exchange that she doesn't tell his superiors about his cooperation with Tamaki.

Keigo Ugachi

Keigo Ugachi is an OVA-exclusive character and the former leader of Goreless Peace. He tries to get Senji Kiyomasa to join his gang (Goreless Peace), but Senji refuses. Keigo is infuriated by this and commences an attack on Senji's friends, killing Izuru and Hinata. Senji then goes after him and eventually is trapped in his Branch of Sin. Senji attempted to get free, only to be caught once again. Domon then entered to assist Senji, but Keigo trapped him as well, wounded him critically in the process. Angered by this, Senji manages to extend his Crow Claw and stabs Keigo through the chest. Keigo tells Senji to finish him off, which Senji is glad to comply with, however Domon interrupts, telling Senji that he cannot kill Keigo as then he'd be no better than him. Senji raises his Crow Claw to bring down on Keigo, but stops at the last second as he notices Keigo fearfully flinch. Senji passes out and Keigo is arrested.

7 writing and artist retreats in Europe that accept Americans
Photo: Bothy Project
Claire Litton-Cohn
If you are an artist or a writer, you've probably struggled to find time and space to focus on your craft. Between work, kids, school, and just plain living life, it can be almost impossible to sit down with a short story idea, or find the perfect subject for your next painting when you're at home. That's why it can be so valuable to take some time for yourself to travel and focus on creating — and what better place to do that than Europe? Follow in the footsteps of Europe's countless prolific writers and artists by applying for retreats and residencies that accept Americans. You'll be able to concentrate on your creative drive and find inspiration in Europe's beauty.
1. Tyrone Guthrie Centre, Ireland
Photo: Tyrone Guthrie Center
The Tyrone Guthrie Centre is situated in County Monaghan, near the border with Northern Ireland, and far enough away from major cities that you won't get distracted by tourism. A rambling, old Victorian house on a large estate, it was converted in the 1980s by the Irish government into a residential space for any kind of artist: composers, sound engineers, painters, dancers, authors, etc. Sign up for space a week at a time and make sure you book early as they fill quickly. The only caveat of your stay is that you must have dinner at 7 PM every evening with the other residents, but given the high quality of the food (which is included), this is no hardship. If you've stayed there once, you are always welcome back; there is no re-application process for return visitors.
2. Westfjords Residency, Iceland
Photo: The Westfjords Residency
If you like stark, remote beauty and small towns, this residency in the wilds of Northern Iceland is a perfect fit for you. Only available from September through May, the Westfjords Residency is located in a village a hair below the Arctic Circle and ringed by the stunning Westfjords Alps. The center offers cozy accommodations that include kitchens — residents are responsible for their own meals and schedules — and every resident is provided with studio workspace, which must sometimes be shared. Group residencies of less than a month are available, and transportation to and from Reykjavik is included; otherwise, residents must make their own way to Thingeyri, which is about an 8-hour drive from Keflavik Airport, assuming the roads are open. Many past residents have described their stay here as "life changing," so if you're up for an adventure, check out their application form, which is currently open for this upcoming autumn and winter.
3. La Muse, France
Photo: La Muse
Parts of La Muse's original manor house date back to the 12th century, although it has been substantially renovated and improved since then. Each of the rooms is different and they vary in size (and price) to suit your individual needs; two of the rooms have private studio workspaces included. Public spaces are shared, including a well-stocked kitchen where you will cook your own meals, and a "living library" — guests who are accepted for residency must bring two books with them for the library, so the contents are always changing and growing. There is a small French town nearby for shopping, but generally, the area is untouristed and remote enough to satisfy your need to get away. When applying, note that they accept applications for partial barter stays, which substantially reduces your costs in exchange for work around the residency. Retreats are usually booked for one or three weeks, although you may negotiate a personalized visit with the owners.
4. Rupert, Vilnius, Lithuania
Photo: Rupert
Vilnius is starting to emerge as an artist's paradise, and Rupert wants to encourage that. This residency offers only studio space, although the building hosts some communal spaces, such as a kitchen and a common room. Along with the studio, artists are given a Mac computer, a phone with a Lithuanian SIM, and a bicycle for the duration of their stay. Stays usually begin at one month and can go for three. All residents are responsible for their own living costs and visas in that time period. All residents also receive 2 "curatorial visits" from local and international curators, who provide personalized feedback for every artist. While the listed cost is 450 EUR, at least half of the residencies are given for free thanks to the support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture and other grants. Rupert provides some transportation and living grants for some candidates, while others may receive comprehensive support and assistance in applying for external grants to fund their stay.
5. The Bothy Project, Scotland
A bothy is a small-scale, off-the-grid, tiny house in the wilds of Scotland. The bothies are available for individual weeklong artist and writer retreats, and each of them has wood burning stoves for heating and cooking, access to clean water, a composting toilet, outdoor shower facilities, and a full list of amenities: clean, organic bedding, a fully-stocked kitchen, a library, and solar power. Inshriac House is in Cairngorms National Park (and is rentable by the night), while Eigg Island in the Inner Hebrides has 4 bothies available at variable weekly rates, and provides transportation to and from the island pier. Artists must bring all their own supplies, but evidence of previous residencies is scattered through each of the tiny cabins, so if you feel moved, you are welcome to leave your own work as a legacy.
6. GlogauAIR, Berlin, Germany
Photo: Glogauair
The studios are spread over ten rooms on two floors, and each one has a sofa bed and all necessary furniture — GlogauAIR also provides extra bedding and mattresses if you have guests — as well as access to shared kitchen, bathrooms, and communal space, including a backyard and garden. Residencies are either 3 or 6 months, and artists are required to present work, as well as attend every Open Studio during the course of their residency. A three-month stay averages around 2100€, although GlogauAIR helps applicants find grants, sponsors, and other funding opportunities to reduce costs for individual artists. The facilities also offer a large Project Space, where residents and other local artists can teach workshops, do demonstrations, offer roundtable discussions, film a movie, or do whatever else they like. GlogauAIR is in Kreuzberg, a neighborhood on the former border between East and West Berlin that became known for squats, performance art, and multiculturalism after the Wall fell.
7. Skopelos Foundation for the Arts, Skopelos, Greece
Photo: The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts (Skopart)
The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts offers residencies for mixed media artists, painters, printmakers, ceramicists, and sculptors on a small, remote Greek island. The residency is located a steep 15-minute walk from town, and is not considered to be accessible to those with problems walking; there are taxis, and it is possible to rent a car, as long as you have an international driver's license. There is only one studio, and accommodations are not included, although there are several cheap pensions nearby. Residency applicants are encouraged to submit ideas for unique works inspired by the culture of the island. Residencies last a minimum 2 weeks, and any stays of longer than 4 weeks can receive a special long-term rate. The studio is closed in January and February.

Federal estate taxes have been a source of funding for the federal government almost since the U.S. was founded.
In 1797, Congress instituted a system of federal stamps that were required on all wills offered for probate when property (land, homes) was transferred from one generation to the next. The revenue from these stamps was used to build the navy for an undeclared war with France, which had begun in 1794. When the crisis ended in 1802, the tax was repealed.1
Estate taxes returned during the build up to the Civil War. The Revenue Act of 1862 included an inheritance tax, which applied to transfers of personal assets. In 1864, Congress amended the Revenue Act, added a tax on transfers of real estate, and increased the rates for inheritance taxes. As before, once the war ended, the Act was repealed.1
In 1898, a federal legacy tax was proposed to raise revenue for the Spanish-American War. This served as a precursor to modern estate taxes. It instituted tax rates that were graduated by the size of the estate. The end of the war came in 1902, and the legacy tax was repealed later that same year.1
In 1913, however, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified – the one that gives Congress the right to "lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived." This amendment paved the way for the Revenue Act of 1916, which established an estate tax that in one way or another, has been part of U.S. history since then.1
In 2010, the estate tax expired – briefly. But in December 2010, Congress passed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. The new law retroactively imposed tax legislation on all estates settled in 2010.2
In 2012, the American Tax Relief Act made the estate tax a permanent part of the tax code.2
As part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, estate tax rules were adjusted again. The estate tax exemption was raised to $11.2 million, a doubling of the $5.6 million that previously existed. Married couples may be able to pass as much as $22.4 million to their heirs. As of 2019, that rate has risen to $11.4 million per individual (and $22.8 million for married couples). The Act is set to expire in 2025. If you're uncertain about your estate strategy, it may be a good time to review the approach you currently have in place.2,3
Estate Taxes and Overall Federal Revenues
Estate taxes typically account for less than one percent of total federal revenue.2
Chart Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2019
Exemption through the Years
Federal estate taxes exempt a share of estates from federal estate taxes. For the 2019 tax year, if an estate's worth less than $11.4 million, no federal estate taxes may apply.1
Exclusion Amount
Highest Tax Rate
1916 $50,000 10.0%
1918-1923 $50,000 25.0%
1926-1931 $100,000 20.0%
1977 $120,000 70.0%
2002 $1,000,000 50.0%
2010 $0 or $5,000,000 0% or 35%
2018 $11,180,000 37%

Kim Kardashian Denies The Rumor That She Booed Tristan Thompson At A Lakers Game
Lynne Versluys
TheBlast January 15, 2020
Jordyn Woods Reflects on a Tumultuous 2019 and How It's Changed Her
Khloe Karadashian and Tristan Thompson May Be Working on Things, But There's Someone in the Way
Tristan Thompson & Khloe Kardashian Reunite At The KarJenner Christmas Eve Party!!!
Jordyn Woods Takes A Lie Detector Test To Prove That She Didn't Sleep With Tristan Thompson
Jordyn Woods Asked 'Did You Have Sexual Intercourse With Tristan Thompson?' During Lie Detector Test
Each of the Kardashian/Jenner sisters has their own drama going on, but the drama between Khloe Kardashian and her ex Tristan Thompson dominated 2019. The couple broke up after Thompson hooked up with longtime family friend Jordyn Woods, and while he has made several attempts to get Khloe back, Khloe is dedicated to being exes who co-parent.
Although the family still keeps Woods on the outs, Thompson seems to be making his way back in and was seen at the lavish Kardashian family Christmas bash.
Was Kim Booing Tristan?
Kim and Kanye attended the Cavaliers vs. Lakers game on Tuesday, and Kim was seen making some noise on the sidelines. Despite the smile on her face, people assumed that she was booing Thompson, who plays for the Cavs. When it began to circulate on Twitter that Kim was allegedly booing Thompson, she tweeted out that that wasn't the case at all.
"I was there to support him! And was cheering screaming LETS GO TRISTAN!!!!! I would never go boo anyone. I don't go to hate, only to cheer!"
Khloe Has Forgiven Tristan
It seems like the family has largely forgiven Thompson for his treatment of Khloe, and Khloe herself has come out and said that she has forgiven Thompson and Woods.
"I don't hold any negative or hateful feelings towards ANYONE! I mean that. Life is short! We are all humans trying to figure out this thing called life. Who am I to condemn anyone else? Yes, I'm allowed to feel hurt and pain. It would be unnatural for me to pretend as if I don't. Personally, I don't want to be carrying around a hateful heart. I crave peace in my life. Me holding onto hate is only going to hurt me in the end.
Forgiveness is a strength and not a weakness. I am allowed to forgive people but still not accept their behaviors. I'm also allowed to protect my space. I am allowed to choose who I want in my life and who I do not. I'm also allowed to wish people well and sincerely mean it. Doesn't mean I have to be their best friend. I want nothing but beautiful blessings for EVERYBODY that has ever been in my life. Regardless of what they have done or not done to me."
Trying Their Best For True
Still Khloe admits that it can be difficult to co-parent with Thompson, but that she makes an effort to be an example for her daughter. While she was a guest on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, she explained that it was "not easy."
"Oh, it's hard. It's not easy for me. You know, it would be easier for me to keep my daughter away... but he never hurt True. Him and I have our own relationship and then Tristan and True have theirs, and I will never come in between that. I don't believe in that.
I want to show my daughter it's OK and it's a beautiful thing to also forgive her dad. He's a great person. Maybe him and I weren't compatible in that way, but that's OK. I always want True to be surrounded by love and I know babies feel energy, we feel energy and I just want her to always feel bliss as much as I can."


The company believes this hack is separate from the one it disclosed in September that impacted at least 500 million accounts.
Yahoo says that information was stolen from more than 1 billion user accounts in a hack that took place three years ago, the second such breach that the company has disclosed since September.
This hack, which occurred in August 2013, is most likely separate from one that took place in 2014 and impacted at least 500 million accounts, according to a securities filing released Wednesday.
The company says names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birthdates, hashed passwords and security questions and answers could have been part of the breach. Credit card and bank account information is not believed to have been compromised.
In addition to working with law enforcement, Yahoo is notifying affected users to help them secure their accounts.
News of a second hack comes as Yahoo continues to pursue the sale of its core internet assets to Verizon for $4.83 billion. A Verizon spokesman tweeted a statement from the company that read: "As we've said all along, we will evaluate the situation as Yahoo continues its investigation. We will review the impact of this new development before reaching any final conclusions."
Verizon has been planning to merge Yahoo, which is run by CEO Marissa Mayer, with AOL. Executive vp Marni Walden and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong are leading that integration. In an interview at Business Insider's Ignition conference last week, Armstrong said he was "cautiously optimistic" that the Verizon deal would eventually close. "The companies are working well together," he continued. "There's been constructive dialogue around things like the data breach that need to get resolved." He also acknowledged that the Yahoo data breach disclosed in September had "slowed things down a bit."

Offcamera, Whitney has already proven that she has book smarts—she graduated with a degree in gender studies from the University of Southern California (after trying out communications, business, and fine arts first), and that she's talented—this month marks the one-year anniversary of her clothing line, Whitney Eve, which she is wearing in these photos.
But she revealed to Seventeen that she wants to prove that she's much stronger, smarter, and more real than she's ever been before.17: How different is your life since The Hills?
As the show comes back this fall for its second cycle, her life is full of drama.
She is quitting her job at Diane von Furstenberg and starting at the public relations firm People's Revolution under the critical eye of Kelly Cutrone, who will also mentor Whitney as she builds her own fashion line.
By Carissa Rosenberg Whitney Port doesn't know how to be fake.
When she starred on MTV's hit series The Hills, she was the only friend of Lauren Conrad who never caused any phony drama, and who wasn't afraid to give Lauren tough love.
She is getting over her flaky musician ex, Jay, and has started dating like crazy.
It was Whitney who told her to take the summer internship in Paris instead of hanging out with her loser boyfriend, Jason; who said she was better off without Heidi in her life; who convinced Lauren that if you don't feel "the spark" with a guy you are dating, you should just move on.
Now on her own show, The City, Whitney needs a little of her own advice.
Whitney Port: When I went on The Hills, I never showed my personal life.
It was always about my career life—I thought people could take me seriously because they'd see I'm a hard-working girl.
Then when I chose to do The City, I took the next step to show my personal life. She said, "Be yourself, keep your eye out for people who are just trying to do this for fame, and use this opportunity to your fullest advantage to help you do what you're passionate about doing."17: Is that why you started designing?
But I like to think that people will keep taking me seriously because I've shown that my head is still screwed on straight, I am motivated, and I do have a serious job.17: Did Lauren give you any advice? WP: I'm not designing clothes because I am on a reality show.
I will be online at: 7am to 10am....11 am to 2 pm ......7 pm to 1am and also on special request. darling boysss...ka favourite dish hai banana pie....wht ru waiting for khila do aapne haathose...slluurppppppppp. What turns me off: When you cut short the ongoing conversation or you are in a hurry.
After all, you can't go from spending every waking minute together when you are dating to barely spending any time together once you are married and expect to still feel the same sparks after all these years.

Riverside College Launch Bell Decorating Academy
On Thursday 14th December Riverside College, in partnership with Bell Group, launched the North West's only Bell Decorating Academy which will provide a host of exciting opportunities for the college's painting and decorating students.
Taking place in the college's £3.6 million Engineering and Construction Skills Centre, the painting and decorating department were presented with a plaque to mark the new partnership.
At the launch, Bell Group experts Anna Higham (National Community Investment Manager), Julie Lawrenson (National Training and Development Manager) Rich Abbotts (Branch Manager), Andy Tweedale (Bell Group Manager) and Ken Worsnip (Bell Group Manager) provided motivational talks about the exciting new opportunities the partnership will provide to students and staff at the college.
The new Bell Decorating Academy will help to create skilled workers through opportunities including specialised masterclasses by Bell Group tradesmen, fantastic work experience placements, first choice on Bell Group apprenticeships for Riverside College students, and free painting and decorating materials and equipment to aid lessons.
Darren Moore, Head of Construction of Riverside College, said, "This is a fantastic opportunity for our Painting and Decorating students to kick start their career in the industry. The masterclasses that Bell Group are providing will give our students that extra special experience that no other college in the North West will be able to offer.
"I am delighted that Riverside College is the chosen college in this area and would like to thank everyone at the Bell Group for giving our students this fantastic opportunity. To be the only college in the North West who have the Bell Group Academy status shows just how far our Painting and Decorating area has come in the past two years."
Jayne Smith, Head of Skills and Enterprise at Riverside College, said, "We were thrilled when Bell Group asked us to be the only college to partner them in the North West. Construction has been identified as a growth sector across the Liverpool City Region, particularly with the investment in housing and the subsequent need for painting and decorating skills.
"We therefore look forward to working with Bell Group and developing programmes that reflect the skills employers' value alongside work experience opportunities and master classes provided by the trade experts. This will give our students exceptional opportunities to secure apprenticeships and progress into employment."

Devastating forest fires destroyed so much here near my home in the Smoky Mountains last night. I could see the orange glow of flames and smoke through my window as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge suffered under a historic and utterly heart-breaking night. I have watched so many friends lose homes and pets and businesses. I've been in tears since yesterday. I have felt so many people's pain. But pain is my inspiration to do what I do best…paint to inspire and bring hope so I painted this painting today.
Life has a lot of extremely scary fires, and we question why God won't just send us even a little rain. We don't realize at the time that fires nourish the ground with nutrients, revitalize the ecosystem, and kill off the old growth to make way for the new. The forest will be so much more beautiful than it ever was before once spring brings new life after the fire.
Exclusive Edition Event Piece available for all dealers on December 10th.
It can be difficult to incorporate people into artwork, but it is a challenge I have been interested in attempting. I had this idea come to me the other day. I wanted to express loneliness and trying to discover yourself and a sense of how small we are when you look over a vast ocean or survey the night sky. As I was almost ready to complete the painting, I backed off of the somber tone I was feeling when I heard the song "The Waiting" by Tom Petty. It inspired me to add the sailboat on the horizon so that it now looks like she is waiting for her ship to come in. I think we all can relate at some point in our lives with this mood and these emotions.


Fall seems like the perfect time for a storytime all about the moon.
One of my all-time favorite books! The story follows "poor kitten" through a series of humorous mishaps as she goes in search of the moon, which she has mistaken for a bowl of milk. Simple text and gorgeous black and white illustrations will make this 2005 Caldecott winner a favorite for years to come.
This is a sweet and simple song, but be forewarned – it's one that tends to get stuck in your head! I use motions to go along with the song.
Listen or download the song here.
A charming rhyme accompanied by Alison Jay's unique folk-like illustrations.


Online gaming is one of the few entertainment sectors which is not eroded over time.
With the advancement of technology, the world of online gaming saw innovations that will leave you in awe.
The drastic changes in the methods and channels of streaming the games have made it much more interesting and interactive.
Gaming can be a hobby to many people, and if implied for a long period of time, it can get addictive too.
Today, we will discuss how technology is changing the online gaming platform in more than many ways that you can imagine.
There have been both software and hardware advancements over the years and we will discuss both of them.
Being an online gamer myself, I do see the paradigm shift in interactive and amazing gameplay, a decade ago and now.
There is a huge difference and you cannot compare this entertainment sector now to a decade ago.
The bot is not a new term for online gamers.Without knowing what a bot is, we have played with it.
It is the same as Artificial Intelligence controlling the actions of the bot.
The bot has been around since the beginning of the online gaming industry but not prioritized due to other features completely masking its presence.
AI has been constantly monitored for quirks and perfected for any bugs over the years. They learn from every experience to mimic human actions in the game.
Another latest concept in the technology of online gaming in cloud gaming.
It is more like not downloading an entire game to play, but just logging in to your online account and cloud will have your game data saved; and it is most commonly implemented in online casinos.
The cloud computing technology has impacted the casino gaming in many ways, since there is no need to download any of these card games and still have all your data stored on cloud, with access point literally from anywhere.
This is quite convenient and also saves you disk space for other purposes irrespective of a desktop or a smartphone.
This is both hardware and software advancement when it comes graphics.
The software would be the pixel by pixel definition of the characters and textures along with the entire layout of the game.
The hardware part would be the graphics card itself.
You can buy higher capacity graphics card at a much cheaper price due to the changes in the technology affecting the gaming industry.
Another software and hardware inclusive advancement due to technology in the online gaming industry are the 3-dimensional games.
Virtual reality is provided using a device which will certainly cheat your brain to think you are in the virtual world physically.
The hardware and software support for these games are quite expensive, but it will settle down to a reasonable price over time.
Desktop to laptop to mobile would be the example for portability.
Gamers getting used to different platforms over time has made the entire online gaming industry a giant business hub.
Every online game that is limited to a desktop or a laptop will have a mobile application built to perform the bare minimum of actions in the game.
This sector will keep evolving with technology and you will see artificial intelligence play a crucial role in supporting this industry in the near future.
If you haven't tried online gaming yet, I would recommend trying it once not because of the thrill but because of the experience.

I feel as though we came from the same world.
be it only a shape made with your index finger and thumb.
would come work better? no pun intended. i do like the 2nd one it has a certain insight in that last line.
It was come second. Then I changed it back to came. Came makes it more definite and unchangeable that we were never from the same world.
Ahem. Not to detract from simplicity and brevity, but we forget the third (or social) finger: in opposition to the thumb, it forms the firm base from which the index finger (ex)presses its decision. It's needed even with rayguns (trust me on this).
I don't ever know what to think of what's not seriously. Everybody plainfully knows that I have no sense of humor. Or that my sense of humor is flawed by human frailty.
on another reading i see you're right.

2017 is here and it promises to be an interesting year in health news. On this episode of the Health and Wellness Show we'll cover just some of the topics that have caught our eyes.
Aerotoxic Syndrome: Ever heard of it? We hadn't either, but apparently this scourge is one of the biggest cover-ups in the airline industry. Speaking of traveling, the CDC is taking stepping up its ability to deal with 'quarantinable communicable diseases'. That illustrious agency is once again proposing a rule to screen, test and quarantine people who maybe be "sick". The CDC introduced this scheme in 2005, but after a wave of critical comments, including from the travel industry, they shelved the rule. Why, all of a sudden, is it back in play?
If having your travel hampered is making you depressed, don't worry. There are new, high-tech health apps to help you cope with life...while tracking your every move and sending your data to concerned professionals.
On a more positive note the vaccine issue maybe getting some more attention in 2017 thanks to Robert F, Kennedy Jr. and his proposed new role as chair on the Vaccine Safety and Scientific Integrity Commission.
Join us for a lively discussion and, as always, stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health segment where the topic will be ketogenic diets for dogs.

COP27: World leaders urged to establish a loss and damage facility
By Ibrahim Khalilulahi Usman || Contributor
NOV 1, 2022 LISTEN
Ghanaian youth are urging world leaders to focus on loss and damage ahead of the 27th Conference of Parties on Climate Change in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
The Strategic Youth Network for Development (SYND) conveners of Youth in Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (Youth-NREG) platform, demands leaders of the Global North pay for the harm caused by anthropogenic climate change in vulnerable countries.
Climate change is expected to cost developing countries $290 billion to $580 billion per year by 2030, and up to $1 trillion by 2050, affecting the lowest emitters the most.
SYND outlined five demands in a document that was the result of a four-month monthly webinar with young people across the country, including the creation of a financial facility to assist developing countries with loss and damage.
"Parties must establish a Loss and Damage facility with significant funding from the Global North to highly vulnerable countries facing mass destruction as a result of the climate crisis," the group stated.
In Ghana, climate change has influenced rain patterns and rising sea levels, which are increasingly affecting areas that traditionally are not prone to floods, for example, Accra the capital region has seen heavy flooding in recent times.
Coastal areas, such as the Keta community, continue to experience increased tidal waves causing lost of properties.
Increasing temperatures also have an impact on local farmers as it takes a long time to rain, and when it does, it is often accompanied by storms, which destroy farm produce and properties.
The other demands are;
▪The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Adaptation Gap report found that the annual adaptation costs in developing countries alone are estimated at USD70 billion. This figure is expected to reach USD140-300 billion in 2030 and USD280-500 billion in 2050. Therefore an increase in financing will be critical for countries to meet their adaptation goals. On this score, we are calling on leaders from the Global North to fulfill their pledges in the Glasgow Climate Pact to increase funding for climate adaptation especially for climate vulnerable countries.
▪Comimmt to increasing support for young people to participate in Global Climate Change discourse. We congratulate countries like Ghana for implementing some of the outcomes of the Glasgow Work Programme on Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) by commencing various youth negotiators programs. We therefore call for more support in terms of financial and capacity resources to ensure young people particularly from the global south are not left out of the global climate change discourse like the COP and other Subsidiary body meetings.
▪Decisions made at COP27 must address the social, geographical and economic injustices surrounding the global energy transition conversation. Leaders from the global north must be held accountable for going back to issuing new deals on fossil fuel exploration after all the pledges made at COP26. A clear roadmap of how least emitting yet highly vulnerable countries can transition to depend only on clean energy sources for development, needs to be discussed and adopted.
▪World leaders must ensure they act on all the "beautiful and juicy" pledges that will be made at COP27. Leaders must ensure the effective implementation of their respective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) because real action we believe begins at the local level. World leaders must listen to the climate projections and take urgent action.
